Chapter 282: Awaken!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
The old mansion surrounded by rocks and trees was usually exceptionally serene and peaceful. But at this time, it was filled with the chatter and bustle of people. Experts from all over the region had gathered together in small groups and were conversing happily.
But the moment Bei Feng's words came out of his mouth, not only Cao Weizhuang, even Nie Qing Cheng became mute with shock. None of them had expected that this fellow was so unschooled in the ways of the world.
"Good! Very good! Nobody has ever dared to speak to me like that before!"
Cao Weizhuang's face had become as black as the bottom of the wok. His inner jing rose up sharply and he seemed like a leopard poised to strike.
"Stop! Cao Weizhuang, today is a big day for my Nie Clan. Don't you dare make a move here!"
Nie Qing Cheng cursed lowly and rushed forward to block in front of Bei Feng.
"You wish to shield him? Fine! Since it's a happy day for your Nie Clan, I won't do anything now. However, you can protect him for a moment, but you can't protect him forever!"
Cao Weizhuang snorted coldly and flung his sleeves. Before he left, he even turned around to stare venomously at Bei Feng with killing intent!
In Cao Weizhuang's heart, Bei Feng was already on his kill list. Ignoring the fact that he had insulted him, the close relationship he had with Nie Qing Cheng meant that this was someone whose existence he would not be able to tolerate.
"Please leave quickly later on. This person may seem polite in his speech, but his heart is like a savage beast's. Since you've slapped his face with your words just now, he would definitely not let you off!"
Nie Qing Cheng quibbled anxiously. She felt quite apologetic in her heart. After all, Bei Feng could be said to have been implicated by her.
Unbeknownst to her however, the matter did not bother Bei Feng at all. Ants were all the same, no matter how special they thought themselves to be. If any tried to bite him, he would just squish them to death with a finger.
Bei Feng took another sip of tea from the cup and replied calmly, "You can go if there's nothing else."
"You... did you hear what I just said?!"
Nie Qing Cheng nearly spurted out a mouthful of blood in her anger. This person was taking her kindness as empty words!
"You don't need to concern yourself with my matters. Also, this trouble seems to be caused by you, so could you please stay further away from me?" Bei Feng said with all seriousness.
"Hmph!"
Nie Qing Cheng stamped her foot unhappily and left.
Still, although Nie Qing Cheng was fuming with anger, she still went to her grandfather's residence. She wanted to report the matter to him and see if he could help remedy the situation.
Time passed quickly, and it was soon noon. Numerous sacrificial animals were led in as the Nie Clan prepared to begin their ancestral worship ceremony!
In the past, Demonic Beasts were used as sacrifices for the ancestral worship ceremonies. But with the deterioration of Heaven and Earth Ling Qi on Earth, Demonic Beasts had become much rarer. As such, they could only use normal animals for the ceremony now.
The sacrificial items consisted of the three beasts (cow, hog, sheep), five crops (millet, soybean, barley, sesame, rice), and six domestic animals (pig, cow, sheep, horse, chicken, and dog).
The three beasts and six domestic animals were all alive and looked clean. Maniac Nie held a thin chopper in his hand and made a few swift cuts. The animals were swiftly beheaded, and their heads were placed upon the altar.
A thick, pungent bloody aroma quickly permeated the entire hall, causing some people's faces to turn slightly pale.
Deep below the ancient well, the gigantic black lizard wiggled its nose and sniffed lightly. It opened its eyelids slowly, and a hazy look flashed past its bright golden eyes.
The huge draconic creature opened its mouth and inclined its nose upwards, "How many years has it been?"
The words it said did not resemble any current spoken language, and seemed to be an ancient language from countless years past.
"The smell of blood and flesh!"
The black lizard looked exactly like the dragons depicted in Western fantasy legends. The only thing it was missing was two horns. Apart from that, it looked exactly like a dragon!
At this time, the behemoth lizard suddenly raised its head and looked upwards. Its huge body trembled as its heart pounded powerfully, sending its bountiful blood and Qi to every part of its body!
The aura around its body began to grow stronger and stronger as the creature slowly awoke!
At this time, one could see two thick chains about the size of an arm were wrapped around the creature's wings, extending deep into two holes with unknown depths. The light around the two chains looked somewhat dull. No matter how sturdy the chains were, they could not withstand the erosion of time!
"Martial King! You've imprisoned me for too long! Today, I will get rid of these chains and fly into the heavens!"
The Demonic Beast's voice reverberated endlessly in the spacious underground crypt, numbing the ears of anyone who heard it!
At the exact same instant, Bei Feng suddenly felt extremely uneasy. It was as if something bad was about to happen. In that moment, he raised his guard silently and surveyed his surroundings.
"Break for me!"
In the underground crypt, the powerful Demonic Beast roared as a black light suffused its wings. The black light emanated an intense feeling of might which would leave anyone's hearts quivering!
"Dang!"
The chains turned rigid in an instant as numerous layers of golden runes surfaced on the chains, tying the old Super Demonic Beast down!
"Roar!"
A mighty dragon roar sounded out from the throat of the beast as it mustered all it strength. Its blood and Qi energy rose up sharply immediately until it reached a peak level!
The chains began to tremble as the golden runes on them darkened. Finally, the runes shattered apart one by one, disappearing entirely!
"Clang!"
The metallic chain finally broke apart. No matter how sturdy an object was, it would not be able to escape the ravages of time. The golden runes on the chains had lost most of their energy throughout the years, and were no longer sufficient to tie down this Super Demonic Beast!
"Hou! I'm finally free!"
Seeing the broken chains around it, the beast roared excitedly. God knows how long it had been imprisoned for!
Right now, it was somewhat out of breath. Using its strength in such a manner was not a small expenditure at all. Its wings were drenched with blood, and fresh wounds caused by it breaking through the chains forcefully could be found on its body.
"Blood and flesh! I need large amounts of blood and flesh!"
The Super Demonic Beast roared and flapped its wings menacingly, flying upwards!
"Boom!"
The gigantic beast rammed headlong into the roof of the ground. A 30-meter-tall mound suddenly appeared in the old mansion's yard!
The sudden phenomenon caused a great commotion among the crowd. Everyone was looking uncertainly at the huge mound which had suddenly appeared in the yard.
"Quickly leave this place! There's a living creature beneath the ground!"
Bei Feng's face twisted with surprise. The moment the beast charged into the ground, he clearly felt a trace of aura seep through the ancient well. That trace of aura caused him to feel immense danger!
There was definitely a Super Demonic Beast underground! Without waiting to see the reaction of the rest, Bei Feng grabbed Mystic Three and hurriedly fled immediately after throwing out the warning!
He had already warned them, so it was up to them whether or not they believed him. In any case, their life or death had nothing to do with him!
"Boom!"
Nobody was paying any attention to the speed Bei Feng displayed at this moment. Everyone was still hesitating and trying to sort out their thoughts when another boom sounded out. This time, the sound was like a clap of thunder, and the entire land shook violently!
When the sound passed, the entire yard had collapsed. A small hill about a hundred meters tall and twenty to thirty meters wide had appeared in its place!
At this time, the crowd finally awoke from their stupefaction and started to flee with all their might!
In three minutes, the fastest experts had already escaped to Qing Ling Village. Some of the slower ones were even still halfway down the mountainous road.
Bei Feng raised his speed to the limit, directly breaking through the sound barrier. A layer of steam rose out of Bei Feng's body steadily as he stopped at Qing Ling Village. Mystic Three was sprawled flat on the ground, gulping in large amounts of air desperately. The speed earlier caused him to be unable to breathe!
Although he could not see anything when he turned around, Bei Feng could feel a powerful aura rising into the sky!
A menacing blood and Qi aura suddenly shot upwards into the clouds, enveloping the entire area. Bei Feng's own blood and Qi when compared to this was not even worth a mention at all!
Bei Feng brought Xia Zhen's family along with him and after placing them into the backseat, Mystic Three drove off at a terrifying speed.
To avoid any unexpected incidents caused by unnecessary startlement, Bei Feng had directly knocked Xia Zhen's family unconscious.
With regards to the other villagers, Bei Feng did not release the news about the terrifying existence looming over them. Even if he tried to warn them, nobody would believe him. It was too unrealistic to expect to incite others to uproot their livelihood and flee from their hometown with just a few words from him.
Their life was now laid in the palms of the heavens. Hopefully, they would be fine.
