Chapter 876 Taunt

Translator: podao001

“Under orders from the Academy Head, eh?” A ridiculing smile appeared on Chen Feng’s face.

“Just for the sake of one person, you fellows brought so many members of the Enforcement Division over. I say, are you fellows afraid of me?” There was a provocative tone in Chen Feng’s voice.

“Insolence! Your name is Chen Feng, right? Humph! A country bumpkin from the Northern Plains. After joining Absolute Academy, you did not focus properly on your cultivation and instead stirred up troubles everywhere. Now, you have but one choice, be obedient and follow us!” One of the captains of the group of cultivators grew furious. He strode forward, leading a small team of cultivators with him to capture Chen Feng.

“If I refuse?” Chen Feng smiled.

“If you refuse, you will be going against the rules of the academy. We will capture you right now. If you resist, we will have the right to kill you!” The cultivator revealed a derisive grin.

As for Sword Immortal Azuretip and Sage Aquafire, they smiled. They wanted nothing more than to see that happen.

Speaking of which, they were quite wary of Chen Feng. If they had to fight Chen Feng, they were not confident in their abilities to defeat him. That was also why they had brought such a high number of cultivators from the Enforcement Division. Should Chen Feng choose to resist, it would mean resisting the entire Absolute Academy. No matter how powerful Chen Feng may be, it would be useless.

In their plan, there could only be one conclusion. Chen Feng was a dead man.

“Oh, looks like you fellows will be taking action. However, is it just you fellows?” Chen Feng then extended a finger and pointed forward with it. Seeing that, the Enforcement Captain’s face flickered. It was then that Chen Feng swiftly unleashed his attacks.

A palm shot out and a mighty blast of power surged forward like a torrential wave.

Instantly, the Enforcement Captain was sent flying. The other cultivators behind him suffered the same fate.

The members of the Enforcement Division were all very powerful. However, even the strongest amongst them was only at the mid-level Human Immortal stage. How could they be expected to handle Chen Feng?

Due to that, this one attack from Chen Feng left the tens of cultivators from the Enforcement Division tumbling wretchedly on the ground. After falling to the ground, they felt their bodies going limp, having lost all combat power.

“Very well! You are rebelling here! Everyone, attack and capture Chen Feng!” Chen Feng’s actions of beating back the tens of cultivators shocked everyone there. However, a look of delight appeared on the faces of Sword Immortal Azuretip and the others instead.

With this, the charges on Chen Feng had been fixed. He could no longer turn the situation around. Chen Feng was only a high-level Human Immortal. Even if he were to advance to the Earthen Immortal stage, he would still be incapable of fighting against Absolute Academy.

“Activate the great array!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground quaked, the mountains shook and space vibrated as layer after layer of countless magic arrays came forward from every direction to envelop Chen Feng.

Those were the sect guardian great arrays of Absolute Academy. They were rarely used. However, once activated, even Earthen Immortals would be entrapped by it.

Chen Feng’s face remained placid, but his eyes had turned serious. The great arrays were exerting a humongous amount of pressure down on him. Worldly powers within a radius of hundreds of thousands of li were mobilized by the great arrays. Truth be told, that was not the most critical issue. The critical issue here was that the great arrays had been reinforced by some experts before.

The moment the great arrays were activated, Sword Immortal Azuretip and the others took a few steps back, a smile on their faces. In their opinion, Chen Feng was already trapped.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Beams of light descended. Before Marquis Scarletfire and the others could even respond, they had become encased by the beams of light. Next, the beams of light swept them far away.

It would appear that they only wanted to deal with Chen Feng and not Marquis Scarletfire and the others. It had to be said. Marquis Scarletfire and the others did have some backers as well.

As their target was Chen Feng alone, there was no need to risk having other variables pop up in their plan.

Weng!

Chen Feng motioned with his hand and the Deepsea Maelstrom emerged, spinning rapidly to grind the incoming magic arrays into pieces.

Boom!

The Deepsea Maelstrom rapidly grew in size to form a massive maelstrom, which grinded and devoured everything in its path without respite. Chen Feng stood at the centre of the maelstrom, his eyes focused as he calmly looked at Sword Immortal Azuretip and the others.

Sensing Chen Feng’s blade-like gaze, Sword Immortal Azuretip and the others awkwardly looked away.

“Is this the only thing you have? It’s probably not enough,” Chen Feng said, flicking his finger to fire a water arrow out from the Deepsea Maelstrom. It pierced through the many layers of magic arrays to attack Sword Immortal Azuretip.

“Cut!”

Sword Immortal Azuretip shouted and the sword slung across his back flew out from its sheath. Drawing an arc in the air, it slashed the water arrow into two.

“Well done. As expected of a peak-level Human Immortal. You have quite the skill. However, how many attacks can you block?”

After saying that, Chen Feng swung his palm once more, his fingers flicking quickly to give off the image of a phantom-like hand. Next, countless water arrows shot out from the Deepsea Maelstrom. Every one of the water arrows contained grand dao powers.

The Deepsea Maelstrom was a top-grade Dao artefact. Every one of the water arrows it fired out was capable of killing off a Human Immortal.

Sword Immortal Azuretip and the others dared not show carelessness in the face of these attacks. All of them took action. They were peak-level Human Immortals with Dao artefacts in hand. In fact, some of their magic treasures were in no way inferior compared to the Deepsea Maelstrom in Chen Feng’s hand.

Sage Aquafire brought out a lance. It looked somewhat similar to the Aquafire Lance, but was far inferior in level. It was just a low-grade Dao artefact.

Whenever he thought about that, Sage Aquafire would grow furious to the point where his face would become contorted.

“Chen Feng, just come in quietly! You are no match for us! You possess Dao artefacts, but so do we!” Sword Immortal Azuretip laughed as he swung, releasing a sword light to shatter apart the water arrows coming at him.

Boom!

Suddenly, the power of the magic arrays around Chen Feng increased by 30%. It was such that Chen Feng could already feel pressured. The Deepsea Maelstrom that had been constantly expanding in size began shrinking.

“Come in quietly?! What a joke! You fellows dare come to my grotto-mansion and stir up trouble? Today, I will be capturing all of you!” Chen Feng shouted.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

They all laughed.

“What an amazing joke!”

“Sword Immortal Azuretip, don’t you think you are going overboard here?!” Suddenly, Marquis Scarletfire rushed back to confront them. Flames blazed across his body to form a fire-type armour while he wielded a Dao-tier spear. His red hair fluttered about and his face was livid. The will to fight soared out from his body.

“Marquis Scarletfire, this does not concern you. It would be best for you to not interfere,” Immortal Skyfire stepped forward and said with a look of disdain.

“And what if I insist on interfering?” Marquis Scarletfire abruptly thrust forward with his spear and a circular hole began expanding from the attacked space. It was as though his move had punctured a hole in space.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

A high number of the magic arrays there were ripped apart as a result.

“Marquis Scarletfire! We are following the Academy Head’s orders to capture Chen Feng. Are you thinking of openly provoking the academy? Even with your backing, this is something you cannot afford to handle. You would do well to consider this well. Do not throw your life away.” Immortal Skyfire chuckled.

“What a joke! You fellows do not have what it takes to represent the academy. The academy is a place for cultivation, but due to the existence of hooligans like you all, it has become stained. Chen Feng is a genius of the academy. And yet, you fellows are trying to frame him. Do you think everyone is blind?” Marquis Scarletfire retorted with a scoff.

“Well said!” Lan Ling clapped her hands.

Immortal Skyfire’s face turned from flushed to pale. Finally, he swung forward with his hand to fire out a ball of flames. The ball of flames quickly transformed into a fire dragon. Brandishing its fangs and claws, it then pounced towards Marquis Scarletfire.

“Since you want to die, I will help fulfil your wish!”

“You think I am afraid of you?”

Immortal Skyfire and Marquis Scarletfire quickly got into a fight. However, Marquis Scarletfire’s level was lower than Immortal Skyfire. Even his overall combat power was not as good as Immortal Skyfire. All he could do was to desperately maintain his disadvantageous position and not be defeated.

Sou!

It was then that Chen Feng attacked again. A chilling light broke its way through the surrounding magic arrays and Sage Aquafire saw something growing rapidly in size as it headed his way.

Bang!

The attack sent Sage Aquafire flying and left a bloody hole on his body. Due to that, he was temporarily incapable of fighting anymore.

Pu!

When he saw what wounded him, however, he ended up puking blood again and again.

Chen Feng controlled the Deepsea Maelstrom to move forward while wielding the Aquafire Lance, swinging around with it to send another two cultivators flying.

Seeing Chen Feng put on a display of might using his magic treasure, Sage Aquafire felt so suffocated he thought he might die from it.

Sou!

The Aquafire Lance swept out and Immortal Skyfire, who was in the midst of fighting Marquis Scarletfire, swiftly encased his whole body with an armour formed from the power of fire. With a banging sound, the attack by the Aquafire Lance sent him flying. Even so, it would appear that he was not terribly injured.

“Brother Scarletfire, leave this to me.” Wielding the Aquafire Lance, Chen Feng attacked non-stop. Following the sounds of the magic arrays breaking, several more cultivators from the Enforcement Division were knocked backwards.

“Sword Immortal Azuretip! You are a peak-level Human Immortal while I am someone who have only just advanced to the high-level Human Immortal stage. Do you have the balls to fight me in a one-on-one fight?” Chen Feng shouted loudly.

“Fight you in a one-on-one? Ha ha ha! You have violated the rules of the academy. We are here to capture you, not to fight you in a one-on-one,” Sword Immortal Azuretip replied calmly.

“In other words, you just don’t have the balls to do it! Sword Immortal Azuretip, you are a famed genius, after all. You have already joined Absolute Academy for several hundred years now. To think that you are actually a cowardly rat. If you don’t have the balls to accept my challenge, you should just scuttle away so as to not lose face!” Chen Feng’s voice spread out like thunder to spread far into the distance. While there was no way to tell how far it spread, it was definitely loud enough to cover a radius of 50,000 kilometres. It was large enough that a high number of students from Absolute Academy could hear it.

Sword Immortal Azuretip’s face turned extremely ugly to behold.

“Sage Aquafire! Do you have the balls to accept my challenge?!” Chen Feng then turned his gaze towards Sage Aquafire.

Sage Aquafire had been struck by Chen Feng’s attack earlier, leaving him badly wounded. Just the act of getting up was causing the powers inside his body to fall into an extreme state of chaos. Attacking right now was simply impossible for him. Additionally, due to the power of the Dao artefact that was presently assailing his body, Sage Aquafire could not even open his mouth.

“What is this? Sage Aquafire, no matter how you cut it, you are still a highly renowned peak-level Human Immortal. Why is it that you don’t even dare to say anything now? Is this all your courage amounts to? I really wonder how you managed to cultivate to your present level? Did you perhaps depend solely on immortal pills from your family?

“By the way, this Dao artefact in my hand is yours, isn’t it? Ha ha ha! Last time, your sneak attack against me failed and you even lost your magic treasure. To think that you would still have to face to show up now. How shameless are you? A bunch of defeated soldiers! Insects!” After saying all that, Chen Feng laughed again.

“You... ourgh!”

Sage Aquafire’s chest heaved up and down and the countenance of his face kept changing without respite. In the end, however, he was incapable of holding on anymore and blood sprayed out from his mouth.

This was purely out of rage and shame.

“And you!”

Chen Feng did not let up. He turned his gaze towards Immortal Skyfire.

“Immortal Skyfire! It is said that you are the reincarnation of an Immortal Human. Within a short thousand years, you managed to cultivate up to this level, a genius amongst geniuses. Do you have the balls to fight me in a one-on-one battle? If you don’t, just go ahead and say it! I don’t mind it if you fellows want to gang up on me!

“Oh, I forgot! You fellows are ganging up on me right now! Those who can join Absolute Academy are all pinnacle geniuses. Unexpectedly, there would be so many cowards here! I think you fellows should just come at me together!” Chen Feng then laughed skywards, looking like a maniac. However, there was a ridiculing smile on his face.

“Chen Feng, well said! Every one of them has no balls! They can only bully the weak, an embarrassment to our Absolute Academy!” Marquis Scarletfire joined in and laughed as well.

“Chen Feng, enough with your nonsense! You want a one-on-one! I’ll do it!” Immortal Skyfire was incapable of enduring anymore. He leaped towards Chen Feng, his hand grasping and a scarlet-red staff swung towards Chen Feng.

“Yet another top-grade Dao artefact. This must be a Scarlet Dragon Staff forged from a Scarlet Dragon Wood, no?” As Chen Feng spoke, the Aquafire Lance in his hand thrust forward.

Boom!

Flames spread across the sky. Chen Feng, under the protection of the Deepsea Maelstrom, was able to remain still. Immortal Skyfire, on the other hand, was forced to back away as flames danced across the surface of his body.

“I have two top-grade Dao artefacts. I wonder, is this considered a bullying act?” Chen Feng chuckled.

“Still, your cultivation level is higher than mine. Not to mention, there are also magic arrays suppressing me. The way I see it, this is a fair duel.”
