บท 15: Great Hidden and Silent Deployment Spell
"Brother Mu Feng, you were amazing last night," said Cheng Shan. He had been waiting for Lin Feng outside in the courtyard.
Cheng Shan was a nice guy. Lin Feng was convinced they could be good friends, the problem was that they couldn't be too close. Lin Feng would have to go to the central part of the Supranatural Region after the competition anyway.
"If one of my masters hadn't helped yesterday evening, I would have gotten injured," Lin Feng said dismissively.
Cheng Shan nodded. If Master Ox hadn't shown up, Lin Feng wouldn't have been able to deal with a Half-Holy Emperor, especially when that Half-Holy Emperor wasn't alone, there were two others with him!
But Cheng Shan admired him anyway, especially since he could compete with Cheng Mo, the strongest young man of the Cheng Clan. That was impressive!
"Oh, by the way, Brother Mu Feng, I promised you we'd go to the tower today. Let's go now," said Cheng Shan. Cheng Shan was in charge of the tower on today, so he could take him there.
Lin Feng didn't think Cheng Shan would remember that. He felt happy and touched.
"Alright, thank you, Brother Cheng Shan." said Lin Feng cupping his fist and smiling. They both went to the tower.
——
The tower was a key element for all the members of the Cheng Clan, assisting them in their cultivation. At the same time, it was also a Holy King's weapon. The Cheng Clan was ready to do anything to protect them.
Cheng Shan told Lin Feng that that tower wasn't just a deadly weapon, it was also a precious deployment spell item, similar to Lin Feng's Celestial Evolution Chessboard. But the Celestial Evolution Chessboard wasn't a Holy Emperor's Weapon, it was a high-level Holy King's weapon.
When Lin Feng heard Cheng Shan, he was even more enthusiastic. He wanted to see how powerful that tower was.
Very quickly, Lin Feng and Cheng Shan arrived at the gigantic tower. It wasn't far from the main gardens of the Cheng Clan, at the top of a mountain in the back of their territory. Lin Feng raised his head and looked at the tower.
The tower was one thousand meters tall. It was also silver and dazzling, containing deployment spell Qi.
There was a dimly discernible noble Qi. That tower did look mysterious. Maybe it would help him discover how to progress on the path of cultivation!
He walked to the foot of the tower. There were many disciples from the Cheng Clan queuing. Inside the tower were two pavilions, with many deployment spell books inside. Around the pavilions were many resting disciples. One pavilion contained high-levels, the other low-level ones.
Because Lin Feng was with Cheng Clan, they entered easily.
Inside, Lin Feng saw a sealing deployment spell. There were some very old books, picture scrolls, and paintings inside. The diameter of the tower was hundreds of meters, filled with books.
"Brother Mu Feng, look and see if there isn't a deployment spell book you like. You can study it here," said Cheng Shan. Lin Feng was surprised and smiled.
Cheng Shan was indeed nice. Lin Feng walked over to a golden picture scroll and opened it. A gleaming golden light drew Lin Feng's attention.
"The Great Hidden and Silent Deployment Spell is a great deployment spell cast silently without anybody noticing it. Must be an Eminent Scholar at least for the deployment spell to have at least one tenth of its full power."
Lin Feng shivered when he read what was written, the Great Hidden and Silent Deployment Spell was so powerful? An Eminent Scholar could only use one-tenth of its strength? How strong did a cultivator have to be to use it at full power?
Lin Feng continued reading the book, remaining focused.
The Great Hidden and Silent Deployment Spell is an ancient deployment spell created by Wu Daozi, a Holy Scholar. The power of the deployment spell is terrifying. Back then, Wu Daozi used the Great Hidden and Silent Deployment Spell to kill four Low-Level Holy Emperors and injure one High-Level Holy Emperor.
Lin Feng's heart twitched. What an incredible deployment spell! It had been used to injure a High-Level Holy Emperor and kill four Low-Level Holy Emperors, that was amazing!
At the same time, Lin Feng also understood deployment spell casters' different levels better. He initially thought that Eminent Scholars had reached the highest level in terms of deployment spells, but when he read the book, he understood that above Eminent Scholars, there were Spiritual Scholars, and after Spiritual Scholars, there were Holy Scholars, like Wu Daozi.
There seemed to be many different deployment spell layers, just like there were many cultivation layers. Lin Feng felt extremely enthusiastic each time he discovered something new.
He felt even more motivated to study. He wanted to become a Half-Holy Emperor now, so he needed to understand what he had to do.
Lin Feng was focused and captivated by the Great Hidden and Silent Deployment Spell book. It was a deadly deployment spell.
The principle was simple: time and space were concealed, so victims didn't sense anything abnormal.
Such attacks were dangerous. There were requirements when it came to the cultivator's spirit too; the more powerful the spirit, the purer and the more powerful the attack.
Lin Feng was confident when it came to his own spirits. The celestial book spirit and the celestial fangs spirit were both very powerful. His celestial fangs spirit increased his absorbing abilities.
That deployment spell was difficult to study, as cultivators needed calm and a good knowledge of space and time to study it.
Lin Feng was really focused. What happened around him didn't affect him at all.
Cheng Shan sensed danger at that moment. He saw some fierce and overbearing looking people coming, and frowned.
"Luo Ze, what is that supposed to mean?" said Cheng Shan coldly. Luo Ze arrived, he was wearing a black robe.
Luo Ze had seen Lin Feng. As soon as he had seen him, he had thought of revenge.
He continued walking silently. He was with some High-Level Holy Kings, and one of them was almost a Supreme Holy King. Luo Ze wasn't sure that a bunch of High-Level Holy Kings could easily defeat a Supreme Holy King.
"Cheng Shan, even though you are in charge of the tower today, I am still allowed to come, aren't I?" said Luo Ze, smiling mockingly.
Cheng Shan frowned and looked at the four men who were with Luo Ze. They weren't from the Cheng Clan, they were independent cultivators, but they were famous.
The Cheng Clan didn't allow members of the Tian Clan and the Ma Clan to come to the tower, but they allowed their members to form alliances with independent cultivators. The Cheng Clan often resorted to independent cultivators' help and was grateful to them. Independent cultivators often helped Clans.
Today was a good example, Luo Ze needed help and those independent cultivators agreed to help him.
Cheng Zhe knew that perfectly well so he felt nervous. Even if Luo Ze caused trouble, Cheng Zhe would penalize Cheng Shan instead because he considered Luo Ze his son-in-law already.
"Luo Ze, I hope you won't cause trouble. Otherwise, it wouldn't be anything good to you or me," replied Cheng Shan, clenching his fists. He had nothing else to say.
Luo Ze looked at him mockingly. Even if he caused trouble, he knew Cheng Zhe wouldn't blame him, he would blame Cheng Shan and say he didn't take care of the tower properly.
Luo Ze looked at the four men behind him and nodded at them. They walked towards Lin Feng. Luo Ze looked proud and arrogant. He had come here with the sole purpose of teaching a good lesson to Lin Feng, to show him who the boss was here, who he could offend and who he couldn't in the Cheng Clan!!!
Cheng Shan's expression changed drastically. He wanted to run to Lin Feng, but one of the men who was with Luo Ze stopped him.
"If you continue, you'll die," said the independent cultivator indifferently, releasing High-Level Holy King Qi. Cheng Shan looked extremely worried.
Cheng Shan wanted to move, but another man moved in front of him, also a High-Level Holy King.
Lin Feng was focused, he needed a little bit more time and he'd be able to start using the Great Hidden and Silent Deployment Spell.
But at that moment, he sensed some cold Qi surround him. He suddenly came back to his senses and turned his head. He saw Luo Ze's evil smile.
"Mu Feng, here we meet again! Hehe!!"
บท 16: Luo Ze's Provocation
"What do you want?" said Lin Feng when he saw Luo Ze. He just wanted to read in peace and now Luo Ze was coming to cause trouble…
"Mu Feng, don't worry. Everything will be alright. Hehe!" Luo Ze laughed provocatively. The four men behind him looked at Lin Feng coolly.
Lin Feng looked at those four people. They were all High-Level Holy Kings, that wasn't bad. In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, such cultivators were already at the top.
But did Luo Ze think he could defeat Lin Feng with five High-Level Holy Kings? Wasn't he a bit too self-confident?
Supreme Holy Kings were Rulers. High-Level Holy Kings were just at the top of the Holy King layer. Even though both were at the Holy King layer, Lin Feng knew that there was a gigantic difference between Supreme Holy Kings and High-Level Holy Kings.
Could five High-Level Holy Kings kill a Supreme Holy King? Hehe! Lin Feng looked at Luo Ze mockingly. Luo Ze was a dreamer. Surprisingly, he was truly this stupid…
"Luo Ze, we aren't enemies. Why do you need to provoke me all the time?" Lin Feng asked Luo Ze.
"Hehe! We're not enemies indeed, but after you joined the group of the Cheng Clan, you started humiliating me all the time. I remember that perfectly!" said Luo Ze evilly. His eyes were filled with murder, showing his true colors. The four High-Level Holy Kings released a terrifying Qi, scaring the disciples in the tower so much that they ran and hid in corners.
When Cheng Shan saw that Luo Ze didn't care and disturbed all the disciples of the Cheng Clan, he shouted furiously, "Luo Ze, you want to die! You dare bring people and cause trouble here?!"
"Haha! I am causing trouble?! I just came here to study, why do you say I came here to cause trouble?" said Luo Ze smiling mockingly as he looked at Cheng Shan.
Cheng Shan's face turned red because of anger. He clenched his fists, wanting to attack, but the four men behind Luo Ze looked at him so Cheng Shan didn't dare act carelessly.
If anything happened and disturbed all the members of the Cheng Clan in their studies in the tower, he would be held responsible because he was in charge of the tower on today. It was an important responsibility in the Cheng Clan. He wouldn't be able to escape.
"Luo Ze, don't think you can do whatever you wish because the leader likes you. I'm telling you, no matter what you think or do, your family name isn't Cheng!!!" Cheng Shan shouted furiously. His voice was so loud that Luo Ze's heart twitched. He was furious on the inside.
Cheng Shan's Qi began to rise. A wierd smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Alright, good. Since you think I am not worth of being a member of the Cheng Clan, today, I will show you if an outsider can become a constitutive member of the Cheng Clan or not!!!" shouted Luo Ze furiously. He threw out his fist, which was surrounded by Qi, like a demonic beast had appeared on his fist. His Qi dashed to the skies, and his eyes were filled with murder. A gigantic fist shot towards Cheng Shan's chest.
Cheng Shan's face changed drastically, he quickly released Qi to protect himself. The demonic beast disappeared, Cheng Shan's face paled. He had the impression his inner Qi was boiling, and he coughed up blood.
"Come. Show that "genuine" member of the Cheng Clan if people can afford to offend me here or not!" shouted Luo Ze to the four men furiously.
The four men looked at Cheng Shan icily.
Cheng Shan's face was white. He finally understood what Luo Ze meant. Luo Ze had come to provoke Lin Feng. He hadn't come to hit Lin Feng, he had come to hit Cheng Shan, he wanted to show him what happened to people who hung out with someone he didn't like.
Cheng Shan condensed Qi and raised his hands to protect himself. The four High-Level Holy Kings attacked and instantly destroyed his defense. Four punches moved towards Cheng Shan's chest.
Cheng Shan's face drained of blood. Luo Ze was really a bastard!
"Alright. Stop disturbing me while I'm practicing cultivation. Piss off now!" said someone at that moment. Instantly, everybody stopped talking. The four punches had disappeared. No trace of Qi was left.
The four men behind Luo Ze looked around. Lin Feng had destroyed their attacks so easily. Lin Feng then flashed and landed next to Cheng Shan. He looked at them indifferently and rolled up his sleeves. He didn't attack for real.
How… How was that possible?
The four High-Level Holy Kings couldn't believe their eyes. Luo Ze was stupefied too. Was Lin Feng that strong?
Im… Impossible.
Luo Ze's facial expression looked hideous and ferocious when he thought that Lin Feng might be stronger than him.
He wanted Lin Feng to die. Lin Feng definitely had to die!!!
"I don't think nobody can defeat you!" Luo Ze smiled ferociously and looked at the four men behind him.
The four men understood, they had to use their most powerful attacks.
One of them took out a gigantic sword which contained an incredible Qi, it looked like the sword of a demon. Everybody shuddered with fear when they saw it.
Another one clenched his fists; a unicorn appeared behind him and shrieked, making the whole tower tremble.
Luo Ze decided to use a deployment spell to attack. He was convinced that his deployment spell attacks were stronger than Lin Feng's deployment spells. He wanted to use a deployment spell to kill Lin Feng.
Their attacks moved towards Lin Feng in unison. The members of the Cheng Clan who were in the tower started leaving quickly.
Cheng Shan couldn't do anything either, he took ten steps backwards.
After the three people attacked, two silhouettes disappeared. Lin Feng frowned, and then smiled. Those two people decided to attack by surprise, relying on speed.
Ridiculous. Too ridiculous!
Lin Feng shouted fiercely, raising his left hand. Luo Ze and the three men in the front sensed some absorbing strength. Then the unicorn neighed. Everybody was shocked.
Lin Feng struck the unicorn, it disappeared while wailing mournfully.
The man with the unicorn spirit coughed up blood and was blown away, his face pale. He realized the connection he had to his unicorn spirit was broken!
It meant that his cultivation had been crippled!
Luo Ze's face was deathly pale. He hadn't thought that Lin Feng would be so strong. In the blink of an eye, he could destroy so many enemies.
Surprise attacks, quick!, thought Luo Ze smiling evilly. He could only hope that the two who were attacking by surprise would destroy Lin Feng.
"Surprise attacks? Hehe, with such a ridiculously slow speed?" commented Lin Feng, glancing at Luo Ze. The two cultivators behind moved closer and closer and then suddenly, Lin Feng disappeared.
The two men who were attacking by surprise were surprised, they wanted to retreat, but a hand grabbed them by their necks. They couldn't do anything, and went white with fear.
Lin Feng appeared behind them. He looked at them mockingly, holding them in his left and right hands.
"You wanted to rely on speed to attack me? Can you do that?" said Lin Feng, smiling icily. Then, he threw them a thousand meters away. Nobody could see them anymore. Lin Feng was too strong.
Luo Ze's face paled. He realized Lin Feng was much stronger than he had expected. He was frightening.
Luo Ze suddenly wanted to leave the tower.
But Lin Feng glared at him like a tiger eyeing its prey. Luo Ze sensed cold sweat on his back and forehead.
"If you don't want to help anymore, piss off!" said Lin Feng, glancing at the remaining two men behind him.
They didn't dare offend him anymore, and ran away quickly. Everybody else left too. Only Lin Feng and Luo Ze were left in the pavilion.
Lin Feng looked at Luo Ze icily. Luo Ze was scared.
"Tell me, how do you want to die?" Lin Feng asked coldly.
Luo Ze was ghastly white as he retreated.
"Where are you going?" said Lin Feng. He immediately threw a hand at Luo Ze. He had the strength of a Supreme Holy King, so Luo Ze had to die!
"Please be merciful, Brother Mu Feng. Why do we need to come to such extremes?!"
