Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 342 - 338: Release Charon and Grant Him Freedom
Charon’s heart skipped a beat. He had been very well concealed, and since he cultivated the Great Dao of Concealment, not even Dongfang Changming could detect his position.
But Xia Feng’s sharp gaze seemed to pierce through him, leaving no doubt that he had been found out.
He trembled slightly, not realizing that while he was feeling agitated, Xia Feng had already disarmed Dongfang Changming.
Without his arms, Dongfang Changming couldn’t hold his saber but wasn’t willing to accept defeat so easily.
He knelt on the ground, his body slightly twisted, and pitifully begged, "Spare... spare me... I beg you..."
Though he begged for mercy, Dongfang Changming’s eyes were still darting around, as if plotting something.
Just when Xia Feng thought he was no longer capable of resistance and approached him to restrain him,
a transparent burst of spiritual power erupted from Dongfang Changming’s brow, as though concentrating all his divine sense, and it launched towards Xia Feng as a spiritual wave.
Xia Feng was caught off guard and was almost grazed by the spiritual power attack.
The spiritual power had no color and its wave was so weak it seemed almost nonexistent.
If it weren’t for the Star Power on Xia Feng, continually linking with the stars above, and the protection of the Dream Realm Pearl, he might have been directly attacked by this spiritual force.
Seeing the deep trace left by the spiritual power where it hit the wall beside him, Xia Feng felt a slight fear in his heart.
This cunning kid had truly vicious methods. Xia Feng’s spiritual defenses were virtually nonexistent, so if he’d been hit by that attack, he would have been seriously injured at the very least.
After launching the attack, Dongfang Changming’s appearance visibly aged rapidly, indicating a significant toll from the assault.
Watching Dongfang Changming’s body begin to wither, Xia Feng sneered, stepping on him, layers of Star Power binding him securely.
Xia Feng initially intended to blast his brain, but then hesitated.
This damn scoundrel had tormented grandpa for so long; letting him lose his mind would be too lenient.
Better to wait until grandpa finished dealing with those Martial Gods and see how he wants to handle it.
His gaze fell on a gap not far away.
Though no one was there, Xia Feng could always sense a prying feeling, making him slightly uncomfortable.
He quietly looked away, while Charon, hidden in the gap, broke out in a cold sweat.
He had been very careful in hiding; if Dongfang Changming hadn’t been defeated so quickly, he wouldn’t have made such a disturbance.
However, he felt that Xia Feng had already discovered him but just hadn’t exposed him yet.
His fingers trembled slightly as he cowered in the corner, not daring to move further.
When he used to guard Xia Tianming, he sensed that Xia Tianming wasn’t a simple person, enduring severe torture yet remaining tough.
Even under such conditions, he continued to break through, almost making Charon envious.
Now it seemed that Xia Tianming’s grandson was even more terrifying.
After all, Xia Feng looked extremely young, not because of any technique but simply due to his very young bone age.
While he was lost in thought, the waves above Xia Tianming’s Void Cauldron began to dissipate, revealing the state inside the domain.
Ten Martial Gods lay motionless on the ground as if they had lost consciousness.
Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, seeing that his grandfather was even more formidable than he had imagined.
Without knowing what Xia Feng was thinking, Xia Tianming crushed the unconscious ones with the Void Cauldron.
Then he glanced at Xia Feng and inquired with some confusion, "Why spare his life?"
Xia Feng shrugged, "After harming grandpa for so long, killing him outright would be too easy on him."
Xia Tianming paused, a complex look flickering in his eyes, "It’s all in the past, deal with it quickly, and destroy this branch entirely."
Xia Feng nodded, "Since grandpa can’t let it go, let’s seal him in the Void Cauldron for later when you want to vent."
Xia Tianming coughed twice, launching the Void Cauldron, "I told you, I’m not that petty. Just finish him easily."
Despite saying this, the Void Cauldron didn’t crush Dongfang Changming as it did the others but instead absorbed the withered Dongfang Changming.
Xia Feng laughed but didn’t expose his grandfather’s little plan, shifting his gaze to the still-hidden Charon.
His voice was light, seemingly asking Xia Tianming or maybe talking to himself, "And what about him?"
Xia Tianming also looked over, though Charon excelled in hiding, with Xia Tianming’s mastery of the Great Dao of Space, the space folds around him looked like transparent paper.
His expression was slightly complex, "I clearly told him to leave, tsk..."
"Forget it, he’s watched me for long, but his nature isn’t bad, and many things were done under pressure."
Xia Feng nodded slightly and coldly spoke towards the gap, "You have ten breaths to leave here, or die with the Dongfang Clan’s branch."
After speaking, his momentum surged as he rushed out from the dungeon, revealing himself in mid-air outside.
Xia Tianming also glanced at that gap, speaking softly, "Go as far as possible; from now on, you are free."
Saying that, he followed Xia Feng into the sky.
The Dongfang Clan was stunned by this display, frantically scattering in chaos.
"Where’s the Clan Leader?"
"Where are the guards?"
"How can our Dongfang Clan be insulted like this!"
Xia Feng was uninterested in listening or discerning the good from the bad among them.
When Dongfang Le’an first descended to the Lower Realm, he hadn’t cared whether the people in the Great Xia Imperial Capital were good or bad and was intent on destroying the whole capital.
If Xia Feng hadn’t been powerful, protecting those in the capital through these disasters, there might not even be a Great Xia now.
So, since the Dongfang Family was ruthless, he could be unkind.
The Heaven-Burying Sword seemed to sense his thoughts, letting out a crisp sword cry.
Below, originally panicked people suddenly fixed their gaze on the weapon in his hand, their expressions turning greedy and fanatic.
"It’s an Ancient Divine Artifact!"
"Heavens! Our opportunity has come, seize him!"
