Chapter 979: Escaping

"Raa!" Feiyun raised both hands and the beasts behind him roared like a heavenly army.

Their power channeled into him as he unleashed two palm strikes, sending the seven old men flying.

They vomited blood with shock in their eyes.

He seized the momentum and leaped forward, killing three of them in the air.

The victims had a large hole in their chest; their internal organs were reduced to bits.

The other four turned pale and were intimidated by his power and bloodthirst. They took out their ninth-ranked treasure again and attacked in unison.

Unfortunately, his fist was tougher than their treasures. He grabbed all four and let his weapon essence devour both the metals and the spirits.

"Boom!" He stomped one of them and broke the guy into several pieces

He summoned his phoenix domain and killed the last three with phoenix flames, leaving nothing but ashes.

"Boom!" A thick lightning bolt descended from the sky.

Feiyun used his Buddhist domain. Runes turned into a golden egg to protect him.

The bolt struck the egg and caused the ground to shake violently. A crack appeared and the bolt nearly destroyed his arm. Fortunately, he had moved fast enough that only the sleeve was hit.

"Firmaments Bolt!" Xiao Baiming's dried hand raised his wooden staff and shot another lightning bolt from the top of a broken palace.

Feiyun used Swift Samsara to evade the bolt. Meanwhile, he unleashed a bestial palm strike and crushed Baiming's location.

The latter couldn't believe it. The kid was faster than his lightning attack. What the hell was that movement technique?

While he was surprised, a rain of swords came for him - one strong enough to bypass his innate defense.

"How dare you attack a paragon?!" The old man created a barrier and stopped the rain of swords from reaching ten meters of him.

"Old man, I told you that if you dare to provoke me, I will not let you leave this place alive." Feiyun glared at him.

"Feiyun, watch your haughty mouth. Our Firmaments has been around since time immemorial, we don't even worry about your alliance, let alone a little junior like you!" His gray hair stood up straight just like lightning pillars.

If he couldn't deal with this half-demon, his reputation would greatly suffer.

"Lightning Arrays!" Black clouds and lightning serpents appeared in the air.

Nine lightning bolts descended in a blinding manner, looking like divine swords capable of connecting heaven and earth.

Feiyun performed his steps again and became a phantom, dancing in the lightning bolts. He was also protected by three domains and the bolts couldn't touch him.

Meanwhile, Liu Suzi's group was being slaughtered. Only ten or so were left.

"Seventh Princess, we will buy time for you, leave first." Their eyes were filled with determination as they stimulated their hidden potential.

This was a type of power-boosting ability. They gained immense power in a short time but once their potential was used up, death would be the result.

Liu Suzi was furious after watching the death of her followers. Her gorgeous face turned cold as she spoke: "The lord has announced that no paragons are allowed to interfere with the competition. You dare to disobey?"

Liu Sulu smiled, revealing her cute dimples: "This is not the successor competition, only a treasure hunt in this old city. The lord has stressed the importance of obtaining resources, that's more important than anything."

"The lord never said that fellow clan members can fight over resources."

"Seventh Princess, I haven't attacked you this whole time." Liu Sulu was quite pleased. Eliminating Liu Suzi meant getting rid of a capable rival.

"Bam!" Feiyun came out of nowhere and slapped Liu Sulu flying. Her delicate figure flew for several hundred meters before smashing onto a wall. Bricks fell on top and covered her.

Liu Suzi was astonished.

"Follow me!" He landed next to Liu Suzi and grabbed her shoulder before using Swift Samsara again.

He had the ferocity of a wild beast and broke through the blockade.

"Boom!" Liu Sulu got out of the ruin, completely covered in dirt. Blood flowed down her lips as she glared in their direction: "Wretched half-demon. After them!"

It only took a short time before Liu Suzi's group was wiped out.

The ground was ladened with corpses and blood. The liquid was burning.

"That should have been flawless if it wasn't for that half-demon. Hmm, it would not be good if Liu Suzi goes back and reports this to the lord. We'll be in trouble." Xiao Baiming frowned and felt a deep hatred for Feng Feiyun.

Paragons of the Heaven's Emergence realm weren't allowed to interfere in the successor competition. His punishment would be death.

"She won't get away, Liu Sulan and those from Lifeless await her. We need to give chase to make sure of it." Liu Sulu said.

Meanwhile, Liu Suzi begrudgingly let Feiyun carry her. She heard the loud winds while watching the scenery change at a rapid rate.

Feiyun's speed reached its limit as he darted through the ruins like a meteor. There was more than one paragon from Firmaments here. He needed to run since he didn't want to go all out against them right now.

"Each time I see you, nothing good happens." Liu Suzi didn't appreciate him saying her life. On the contrary, she thought of him as an unlucky star.

"Watch your mouth, I've saved you twice already." Feiyun was speechless at these heavenly daughters' personalities. He clearly saved her yet she blamed him for this?

Were half-demons born to be bullied? Was there a popular phrase among the noble girls talking about how unlucky half-demons were? And to get away from them?

Liu Suzi had this belief, so did You Ziling.

"I'm suspicious that you're the mastermind behind all of this, that's why you show up every time." She said.

"What's the point of tricking you? I'm richer and I'm stronger too." He complained.

"That's true." She rolled her eyes and eventually nodded: "Hmm, you don't like women and don't need money. I see, you want me to become the next lord and grant land to your alliance."

Feiyun found her to be overly suspicious and untrusting. However, she was right about one thing. Having her as the lord would be quite beneficial for the alliance.

He actually felt a deep attachment to the alliance.

"You got it, we want you to be the next successor." He put on a serious expression as if this was the case.

"Hmph, I knew you had ulterior motives. Where is Yiyi? Take me to her and I will recognize your contribution. When I become the lord in the future, I will remember this and treat your alliance well."

"Mmm, well, the truth is that we were separated after being ambushed by those from the Yin World. I don't know where she is." Feiyun naturally couldn't tell her about how he schemed against Yiyi.

"Liu Sulu and Liu Sulan are well prepared this time. You alone can't escape from their plan, only Yiyi can save us." Suzi frowned.

"You don't believe in my power?" Feiyun had conflicting feelings about Yiyi. What was special about being the saintess of Aquamoon?

"If you're so strong, then why are we running right now?" Suzi gave him the side-eye.

Feiyun suddenly stopped abruptly and decided to land. The momentum caused him to slide for dozens of meters before finally stopping with his knees touching the ground.
