Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 1695 - 1680: Shii Wu’s Vow
"Ancient Corpse Clan, Shii Fan!"
Shi Feng's punch to immediately kill Gloomy Hide had started to draw significant attention from several powerful figures.
Initially, no one paid attention to this seemingly ordinary young man from the Ancient Corpse Clan, but now, he had become the focal point!
Some even began to wonder if Blood Devouring Race's Nine-star Demigod-level Shio Yu could defeat Gloomy Hide in one blow.
If Shii Fan were to encounter geniuses like Shio Yu or Kuo Sang from the Ancient Skeleton Clan, what would happen?
...
Under several gazes, Shi Feng gracefully walked down from the Heavenly Pride Arena and slowly headed toward the territory of the Ancient Corpse Clan.
At this moment, no one at the Heavenly Pride Battlefield dared to underestimate this Six-star Demigod from the Ancient Corpse Clan anymore.
For others, killing Gloomy Hide from the Ancient Netherworld Clan with a single punch was unequivocally a feat against the heavens.
But for Shi Feng, it was nothing at all! From start to finish, he had never taken Gloomy Hide seriously. After all, he was but an Eight-star Demigod!
Furthermore, when he instantly killed Gloomy Hide, he had used a Nine-star Demigod-level Combat Technique from the Ancient Corpse Clan!
Nonetheless, eliminating this Eight-star Demigod and devouring his Power of Death and blood increased the energy in Shi Feng's Dantian from one-twentieth to two-twentieths!
Unexpectedly, the death force and blood of an Eight-star Demigod only enhanced Shi Feng's abnormal Dantian energy by one-twentieth!
It seems that to continue progressing to the Seven-star Demigod Realm would be incredibly difficult, unless he could find a Cultivation Sacred Land like the Corpse Refining Hall.
At the time, when the Corpse God had casually instructed Miss Shii Wu to take Shi Feng there, he mentioned it offhandedly.
However, Shi Feng knew that he was unlikely to have another chance to enter the Corpse Refining Hall for cultivation in the future.
From the beginning, it had only been a mutual, need-based collaboration with the Ancient Corpse Clan's Corpse God.
Once the battle of the geniuses ended, they would likely part ways.
...
Shi Feng leisurely returned to the stands of the Ancient Corpse Clan, and under numerous watchful gazes, sat back next to Shii Wu.
At this time, the looks from several young people of the Ancient Corpse Clan towards Shi Feng were extraordinarily complex, with some even lowering their heads, unwilling to face this exceptional genius of their clan.
It was Miss Shii Wu who first spoke, addressing Shi Feng, "Shii Fan, you are just incredible! Earlier, we underestimated you. I even said you were seeking your doom and spoke to you in such a manner. It was my short-sightedness, and I apologize. I'm sorry."
As soon as Shii Wu finished, another young person from the Ancient Corpse Clan followed, saying, "Brother Fan... Fan Bro, I was also in the wrong earlier. I too was short-sighted. I was the real frog at the bottom of the well, and I even ridiculed such a genius from our clan. I apologize."
When this young person spoke, his attitude was exceptionally earnest. He originally addressed Shi Feng as "Brother Shii Fan," but now had shifted to calling him "Fan Bro!"
"Fan Bro, I am also in the wrong. I didn't know you were so powerful. I am sorry, really sorry!"
...
Following this, these young members of the Ancient Corpse Clan began to sincerely apologize to Shi Feng, seeking his forgiveness.
Only Shii Wei remained with a complicated expression, hesitant to speak to Shi Feng, stopping short of saying something several times, but ultimately staying silent.
Regarding these young people of the Ancient Corpse Clan, Shi Feng had never given them a second glance, let alone taken their words to heart.
After hearing their words, Shi Feng didn't even look at them and coolly said, "It doesn't matter."
"Uh..."
Upon hearing these three words from Shi Feng, each of them softly "uh"'d, but they were still left uncertain and uneasy in their hearts about what he meant by "it doesn't matter."
Have they been forgiven?
Or had their previous words been too much to forgive, and are they now bracing for future retribution?
All of them thought anxiously in their hearts, though they were indeed overthinking. For Shi Feng, these people were merely passersby, like merchants on the road, with whom there would be no further connection after the battle of the geniuses.
...
Due to Shi Feng's punch, which killed Gloomy Hide, and Kuo Sang's strike, which ended two-headed person, the subsequent matches had less spectacle.
This match was the genius from the Stone-man Clan against the genius from the Beastmen Clan!
Both clans were known for their physical toughness, and these two geniuses; the Stone-man Clan was in the Six-star Demigod Realm, while the Beastmen Clan was in the Seven-star Demigod Realm.
Under close, intense combat, "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of explosive sounds echoed violently, but, although a star lower, the stone-like figure of the Stone-man showed no weakness or surrender, fighting increasingly aggressively. Pressing forward furiously, he forced back the Beastmen with a beast-like head several steps.
"Boom!" But just then, the Beastmen genius slammed his right foot into the ground, using Fierce Power to forcibly halt his retreat. Then, he roared angrily at the Stone-man in front of him: "Roar!"
In the wake of the roar, the space trembled as if the king of beasts had become angry, intimidating wild beasts worldwide.
Under the Beastmen's roar, it was the Stone-man's turn to retreat, and he was swiftly retreating, a startled and wary expression revealed on his stone face.
He hadn't thought this Beastman would have cultivated their clan's ultimate technique, "Beast God Roar," to such an extent!
And just as the Stone-man was rapidly retreating, a gap was exposed.
Amidst the stands of the Ancient Corpse Clan, watching the arena's battle, Shi Feng softly murmured, "The outcome is decided!"
As Shi Feng's words fell, the Beastman already flashed to the Stone-man's front, slamming a fierce punch into the Stone-man's chest.
That stone-like Stone-man flew backwards like a broken sandbag, sailing out of the Heavenly Pride Arena with a "boom" and crashing into the ground outside the ring, kicking up a cloud of dust!
Just as Shi Feng had said, the outcome was indeed decided!
Yet, as the Beastmen Clan and Stone-man Clan had long-standing friendly relations, the Beastman merely punched the Stone-man out of the ring without intending to take his life!
"Number Seven and Number Eight to the arena!" At this moment, the elderly and hoarse voice of Longevity Old Demon resonated once more in the Heavenly Pride Battlefield.
...
After the Beastmen and Stone-man fight was over, Miss Shii Wu, seeing Shi Feng withdraw his attention, softly spoke to him, saying, "Shii Fan, thank you for avenging my brother!"
Hearing this, Shi Feng turned his head towards her, maintaining a nonchalant demeanor as he replied, "It's nothing. I previously told you I was going to kill that waste from the Ancient Netherworld Clan, and indeed, I found him displeasing; he was destined to die."
After finishing, Shi Feng slowly turned his head back, once again gazing towards the direction of the arena.
But at this moment, Shii Wu slowly lowered her head, her face full of bashfulness, saying to Shi Feng, "But... but, I once swore that whoever avenged my brother... I would..."
