Chapter 279: Wounding the Golden Crow
Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy
Chu Feng was like a demonic god. He ground the Nine-lives Cat's heart into pieces, crushed his neck and watched his eyes turn dim.
He showed absolutely no mercy. Those who came to ambush him needed to be prepared to be buried.
A cold smile appeared from the corners of his mouth. He tossed the Cat King aside and rose to fight against the Golden Crow. Chu Feng wanted to take this rare opportunity to kill him as well.
Boom!
Chu Feng's fist intent was terrifying. The visibly rotating Flood Dragon Fist tore the air apart as a black flood dragon screamed through the air to entangle the Golden Crow.
He rushed into the air in a decisive clash against the Golden Crow.
The whole sky was filled with raging flames. The seemingly omnipresent scarlet blaze almost caused the air to distort as the enraged Golden Crow fought against Chu Feng with astonishing murderous intent.
Flames surged from their midst as the two warriors clashed midair like the explosion of a huge sun. The scene was absolutely frightening.
Burning golden feathers rained down from the sky, many of them stained with blood. Chu Feng, at this time, was also sent flying into the distance.
This was a confrontation between peerless experts.
It could be said that Chu Feng had truly become a peerless expert the moment he broke the Nine-lives Cat's neck. He had far surpassed the other kings and was now struggling against the Golden Crow.
Boom!
The fallen feathers decimated the mountainous woods and reduced everything in a wide area to ashes. One could imagine how terrifying this king was.
"Chu Feng, you truly deserve the die!" The Golden Crow let out a long cry and flapped his wings before diving down from midair. Raging flames danced around him, the golden light almost outshining the sun itself.
He had come together with the Nine-lives Cat to assassinate Chu Feng but suffered defeated instead. Any of these two peerless experts was enough to awe the world, but in the end, the Cat King had his neck broken.
Boom!
An astonishing scene occurred as the Golden Crow spread his wings and dived down towards Chu Feng. They struck on a small hill, completely melting it down.
Flames burst out amidst the torrential lava as if a volcano had erupted. The whole area had been drowned in the scarlet glow as red tidal waves reached towards the skies. A single attack from the Golden Crow had destroyed a whole mountain.
Chu Feng was shaken. As expected of a peerless expert, the Golden Crow's strength caused even Chu Feng to be apprehensive. Brilliant lights were emitted around him as he circulated his breathing technique, allowing him to stand unharmed even in the lava.
Pop!
He leapt up from the pool of magma and rushed back to kill the Golden Crow amidst the blazing flames and rampant energy.
"Ah, the cat has already died." The black yak was astonished.
The Donkey King, the black yak, and the others came hurrying over from several kilometers away only to see the Nine-lives Cat's broken neck dangling to one side with a bloody hole through his chest. The scene was shocking.
"Damn, how heaven-defying! The peerless expert Nine-lives Cat has been killed!" the Manchurian Tiger cursed in surprise.
"Ouch!" The tiger grimaced in pain. His whole body had been pierced by dozens of golden feathers like a hedgehog.
He cried out in anger, "Brother Chu, killing another won't make a difference. Please kill that disgraceful Golden Crow who only knows how to ambush people with feathers!"
"I'm feeling so stifled!" The black yak's dark face had almost turned purple. The energy he had injected into the Buddhist staff was still raging about since the yak never found the opportunity to expel it.
The senses of the peerless expert were simply too frightening. The Golden Crow never gave him the opportunity to unleash his power.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, a rain of light appeared midair as the Golden Crow activated his killing move. Waves of divine feathers shook off from his body. They were steeped in raging flames as he shot them all out, making metallic sounds as they struck those in their path. These feathers were even more terrifying than sharp blades.
"Run!"
The Manchurian Tiger's group retreated in great distress.
This attack was much fiercer than the ones experienced by the Manchurian Tiger. The feathers this time were his true plumage, unlike the small ones from before.
This signified the frightening power behind this assault.
Chu Feng sensed great danger. The scene of chaotic energy was as if the heavenly generals and their legions had descended upon the world. The densely packed projectiles clouded the skies and locked down any and all paths of retreat.
He let out a shout and began to draw in the free energy from the surroundings as he circulated his breathing technique. He raised his left hand and activated the Heavenly Master Demon Subduing Technique. The talisman erupted with lightning.
Crackle!
Arcs of electricity raged through the air, striking down hundreds of golden crow feathers. The scene had become increasingly frightening.
Great explosions erupted where the fire and lightning clashed!
Some feathers were stopped, while others came through.
Clang! Clang! Clang…
A large bell appeared around Chu Feng to block the remaining projectiles.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Many feathers pierced into the surrounding earth, and within moments, the ground had collapsed and the forests were decimated amidst flowing lava as if the apocalypse had arrived.
"Kill!"
The Golden Crow had gone berserk. He flapped his wings midair and soon transformed into a golden sun. Countless streams of fire poured down torrentially every time he flapped his wings.
"Damned crow, what else can you do apart from spitting flames?"
Chu Feng was in a difficult situation. The ground beneath had melted into a pool of lava, forcing him to release energy to protect himself.
Chi!
Suddenly, the Golden Crow dived down, transforming into a golden-haired man before smashing towards Chu Feng with his fists in an imposing manner.
Boom!
The sky collapsed and the earth split apart. The crow's body glowed with resplendent golden radiance and his fists were like two suns. Beams of light interweaved, releasing a terrifying aura as if a deity had descended to earth.
Chu Feng wasn't afraid of enemies who dared to come into melee range. He was worried the other party would keep hovering high above out of his reach.
Dong! Dong! Dong…
The two erupted with divine light and clashed in a devastating melee.
The Golden Crow was indeed worthy of being a peerless expert leading the invasion of the Pilgrimage Grounds. His strength was absolutely frightening. His fists collapsed whole mountain ridges as he tangled with Chu Feng in an intense exchange of blows.
This was a thoroughly unreserved confrontation.
Pfft!
Suddenly, the Golden Crow spat out a beam of light. Chu Feng was shocked by the sudden attack which shot through his golden bell within moments.
Chu Feng moved sideways and narrowly evaded the attack while the mountain behind him swiftly melted.
"Solar Essence Flame!"
Chu Feng was shaken. Even he wouldn't be able to take it if he was struck by these essence flames.
The Golden Crows body swayed momentarily after shooting out these essence flames. It was obvious that he wouldn't be able to produce a second shot anytime soon.
"Damned crow! Give me your life!" Chu Feng growled. His battle intent soared as he rushed in once again for the kill.
The Demon Subduing Technique, the Imperial Sword Technique… He employed various techniques at the same time. This was no longer the time to ponder on the Xingyi Fist but a true confrontation. The Golden Crow was a frightening opponent who was much more powerful than Hei Teng and the three-eyed Qian Yue!
"Chi!"
The Golden Crow took to the skies once more in his crow form and activated a terrifying type of energy.
Golden feathers were seen dancing in the sky, and within moments, they covered the sky like radiant golden clouds.
"Eh?!" Chu Feng was shocked.
All these golden feathers had transformed into golden crows and were hovering in a circular motion around this area, emitting terrifying amounts of energy.
The scene caused Chu Feng to feel greatly pressured. The Manchurian Tiger, the black yak, and the others were also astonished. Were these thousands of birds all incarnations?
The Golden Crow King had mixed in with the crows formed from his feathers and could no longer be tracked.
This kind of shocking ability was difficult to defend against.
Clang!
A golden bell appeared to defend Chu Feng while his palm begin to glow with interweaving arcs of electricity. He shot the numerous lightning bolts shot into the air, hoping to strike the Golden Crow's true body.
Chi! Chi! Chi…
The army of golden crows was spread out in every direction. It would take Chu Feng a great amount of energy if he wanted to kill them all with lightning.
"Kill!"
The Golden Crow King's battle cry reverberated in every direction. The thousand-strong horde of golden crows dived down towards Chu Feng.
"Every feather is infused with a small amount of spiritual energy, making it difficult to differentiate between them at a glance!" Chu Feng became alert. He would naturally be able to tell between them given the time but he was being kept busy for the moment.
Fortunately, the golden bell around him afforded an astonishing level of defense.
He couldn't help but admit that the Golden Crow was indeed terrifying. This move alone was sufficient to kill all the kings in his way. Even those top-level experts might not be his match.
Clang! Clang! Clang…
The bell around him vibrated as the incarnations struck him. The impact directly turned them back into golden feathers.
Dong! Dong! Dong…
The air trembled as the drum-like heartbeat resounded through the heaven and earth once again. Chu Feng's heart released a bright radiance and his whole being became almost translucent as he released a large amount of energy.
He raised his divine instinct and began to search for the true body of the Golden Crow. He remained calm and unperturbed after a battle of life or death.
He suddenly became alert at the critical moment and moved his body to one side, effectively evading a killing blow. The Golden Crow's true form appeared to shoot out a golden beam from his mouth. The Solar Essence Flame shot through the golden bell and nearly struck Chu Feng's body.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Chu Feng leapt up immediately after the evasive maneuver and gave chase.
He had already realized that the Golden Crow would experience a period of weakness after shooting the Solar Essence Flames and would be unable to shoot a second time. This was the best opportunity to strike.
The Golden Crow was furious after being found out. His Myriad Incarnations Technique had actually failed. The Solar Essence Flames would've struck Chu Feng's body and burnt through him if only he was one step slower.
Thump! Thump! Thump…
Feathers fell as the Golden Crow suffered Chu Feng's relentless assault. From the Xingyi Fist to the Demon Ox and Demon Flood Dragon Fists, the attacks erupted with blinding light and drew blood repeatedly.
Some of the Golden Crow's blood-stained feathers were struck off and fell down gently in the wind. At that same time, Chu Feng's fists began to glow with a fiery black light.
"You dare?!"
Suddenly, the Golden Crow roared loudly because he saw the Manchurian Tiger and party were dragging away the Nine-lives Cat's corpse as a trophy.
It shot out countless feathers to deter the group. He abandoned Chu Feng as he pounced towards them.
Chu Feng gave chase as soon as he landed, his killing intent raging.
Thump! Thump! Thump…
The two arrived there at almost the same time and exchanged several dozen blows. It had turned into a battle of pure power with no flowery techniques or machinations.
Pfft!
The injured Golden Crow coughed up blood, overwhelmed by the shock. He possessed a special fortune which allowed his bloodline to evolve towards the Golden Crow's lineage. His physical body was extremely sturdy, however, he had suffered numerous times today and was feeling greatly distressed.
In the end, the Golden Crow grasped the Nine-lives Cat's carcass and took to the skies. Chu Feng rushed towards the sky during this process and proceeded to cross blows with him, forcing him to drop the lower half of the Nine-lives Cat's corpse.
"You… what gall!" The Golden Crow felt fury and astonishment in equal measures. All his feathers puffed up in a towering rage.
Chu Feng produced the golden chakram as he landed. He knew that the opponent was about to escape and that it was time to use a killer move.
"Let me do this!" The black yak wildly roared. His face was red after holding in the energy for so long. The Manchurian Tiger helped to fling the yak into the air as he activated the Buddhist staff.
A golden arhat appeared midair as the staff erupted with a terrifying radiance which enshrouded the skies.
The staff revealed its might, devastating the whole area with a frightening amount of energy.
Thump!
The Golden Crow's body suffered severe trauma. Large amounts of fresh blood sprayed out in all directions and dyed the sky red amidst a dense rain of scattered plumage.
He almost fell from the skies from the severe damage. Half his body had ruptured and one of his wings had almost been torn off.
"Dammit, I was off target!" the black yak shouted and complained angrily on his way down.
Chu Feng looked up and pondered for a while before deciding that the target was too far to use the diamond chakram. He felt it would be too easy for the enemy to dodge.
"Golden Condor King, give chase!" Chu Feng turned around and jumped onto the Golden Condor's back, hoping to chase down the Golden Crow.
