The Sacred Ruins
chapter-235

The two-inch-long bottle churned out a stream of sword qi so powerful that it ground the rocks and splintered giant trees . Even someone as powerful as the Black Dragon Prince was sent tumbling with multiple injuries on his body .

The Black Dragon Crown Prince felt extremely sullen . Not only was he unable to exert his full power despite being an expert with six severed shackles, but now he was also being beaten into such a state .

Boom!

The mountain burst open under the might of the resplendent Great Dao Treasured Bottle . The beams of light produced by the treasure ground large rocks to dust and sent fallen leaves dancing in the air .

Hei Teng rapidly retreated . He roared loudly as he produced even more swirling black scales emitting black radiance which then shot out swiftly .

He was forced to use up even more of his scales . He wouldn’t choose to use this attack given a choice for the ammunition was ultimately finite .

He, as a flood dragon, would be made into a laughingstock if he returned half naked with sparse scales . He would need to wait till his next evolution, the seventh severed shackle, to perfectly regrow all his scales .

Buzz!

The air itself was vibrating vigorously as the black scales screamed through the air at supersonic speeds, producing shocking explosions!

Killing intent permeated the air which was now occupied by a swarm of dancing black scales . They were sharp, brilliant and almost nothing could stop them .

Chu Feng was incomparably solemn as he activated the treasure seed . The bottle was translucent and sparkling with bright green patterns throughout its body .

The body was dotted with bright spots like radiant suns surrounded by innumerable stars . Gold and green splendor interweaved with each other around this frightening weapon .

Boom!

Brilliant light surged out from the bottle opening . Thousands of light beams swiftly shot out and ground the incoming scales into particles . There were, however, some which escaped the network of beams and shot towards Chu Feng .

Chu Feng shot out the scarlet flying knife and hacked defensively at the incoming projectiles . Nonetheless, the scales still managed to open several wounds on his body .

Both warriors were wounded at the moment as they fought desperately and intensively to kill each other .

Especially as the battle progressed, Chu Feng was frowning in distress . He realized that although this bottle was powerful, it also consumed a considerable amount of energy . He would soon be drained of all energy at this rate .

He paused the attack and retreated a few hundred meters while evading the tens of scales that came through . Streaks of blood could be seen on his face .

In the distance, Hei Teng was also in quite a precarious situation . He was wounded in a few dozen different places and was drenched in bright, sparkling flood dragon blood .

Chu Feng wasn’t willing to expend continuous energy, and likewise, Hei Teng couldn’t afford to use up more scales .

"Black Snake, do we still need to continue like this?!" Chu Feng asked provocatively . He wasn’t afraid of this flood dragon snake, but he also knew that he would have to pay a price to continue fighting .

"I’ll hack you to death!" Hei Teng replied coldly . He couldn’t swallow the humiliation of being beaten to this state by a lesser being .

He wouldn’t be able to face his peers if news of this fight spreads to the Southern Sea .

"Roar!" Hei Teng roared loudly . His body started to shine brightly as his wounds began to close . He raised both his hands and began to perform a set of fist seals which then shot out at lightning speed .

At the same time, his legs were moving in a set pattern like a flood dragon tail as it whipped at Chu Feng .

"Do you really think I fear you?! Let’s fight to the death then!" Chu Feng growled coldly and raised his head, his eyes glowing like small suns and his body suffused with astonishing energy .

He utilized all the spiritual energy within his body and began to activate his fist seals to rush in for a melee strike .

Thump!

The two crashed into each other with astonishing speed . Bright Light burst out from their midst and decimated the whole mountain and its woods . Several large rocks were sent flying into the air by the huge explosion .

Hei Teng let out a long dragon roar as if a true dragon had come into being . His fist intent was terrifying—a flood dragon materialized behind him emanating a horrifying aura .

Mou!

The roar of an ox shook the sky as Chu Feng activated his Demon Ox Fist, accompanied by the image of a great black ox treading through the starry skies behind him . It was surging with an intense desolate aura .

They had both activated their fist techniques with full power . Two men could be seen entangled in an aggressive melee while the demon ox and the flood dragon fought through the starry sky .

At this moment, Chu Feng’s eyes were penetrative and his fists were like the horns of the great ox . His razor sharp attacks were powerful enough to collapse a mountaintop with ease .

Dong!

Hei Teng was furious . His fingers were bleeding profusely where he had clashed with Chu Feng .

Roar!

Eventually, Chu Feng once again activated the Flood Dragon Fist in conjunction with the Demon Ox Fist . The combo explosively increased the force and speed behind the blow .

Thump!

At this moment, he was engaging in a dangerous close quarter combat with Hei Teng . He had elected to attack proactively, his fists all founding their mark on Hei Teng’s body, causing the latter to flying out while coughing blood .

During this whole process, Hei Teng’s legs whipped at Chu Feng like a flood dragon’s tail . A trickle of blood could be seen on the corner of Chu Feng’s mouth .

During the continuous struggle, Chu Feng had also activated his divine feet and merged it with the Flood Dragon Fist . Every sweep of his leg was like a true dragon sweeping through a thousand troops .

Thump!

Hei Teng was kicked flying and crashed into a cliff, shattering it in the process .

Both of them had bloodshot eyes . They no longer cared about anything else and only rushed at each other frantically in bloody combat .

They continuously shifted about during the whole process, flattening mountaintops wherever they landed .

Boom!

Chu Feng’s left palm began to glow intensely with the power of the lightning talisman . He had activated the Demon Subduing Technique and struck Hei Teng’s body, enveloping him in lightning and sending him flying .

Chu Feng’s fists were resplendent and his divine feet were incredibly fast . He chased down the enemy and rained continuous blows on his body, sending him flying time and again . His chest had almost caved in from the repeated trauma .

At this moment, Chu Feng was in a battle frenzy and wanted nothing more than to kill this Black Dragon Crown Prince of the Southern Seas .

He felt a type of urgency because the enemy was an expert with six severed shackles and could be hiding some special method . It was best to kill him off as soon as possible .

"Roar!"

Hei Teng was furious . He opened his large jaws and sprayed out draconic essence blood which swiftly transformed into a scarlet flood dragon, shooting immediately towards Chu Feng .

Thump!

Chu Feng was sent flying with severe wounds—the bloody flood dragon had exploded upon impact and combusted into flames .

The two were once again drawn into a fierce battle . The mountain had cracked and collapsed under their feet, a testimony to how powerful their energy was . When they jumped, mountain tops would shatter from the backward force .

Hei Teng was feeling increasingly miserable . He could not execute his divine techniques due to physical limitations, however, he knew he would be torn in two if things continued this way .

Chu Feng, on the other hand, was becoming increasingly ferocious . With the combination of the two demon fists, his strength was constantly increasing . He was almost berserk .

White mist flowed around his mouth and nostrils as he coordinated with the special breathing technique . This increased his strength explosively, enabling him to completely suppress Hei Teng, sending him flying repeatedly .

"Kill!" Chu Feng shouted . His fists were glowing brilliantly with prismatic lights—the right hand landed on Hei Teng’s chest and fractured several ribs—his left hand was glowing with the combination of the demon ox and demon flood dragon fists and crackling with lightning as it struck Hei Teng’s wounded abdomen .

The Black Dragon Crown Prince was now regretful—he should’ve pulled back when he was offered the chance—now he was in deep trouble .

He loudly roared as he used his hands to block some of the incoming fist strikes and protect his abdomen . He staggered back and coughed up large amounts of blood . He could feel foreign energy rushing into his arms and rampaging throughout his innards .

Crack!

At this moment, one of his arms was directly fractured by Chu Feng .

Hei Teng’s eyes were red . At this rate, not only would he lose the battle, but he might also lose his life . He let out a muffled roar like the sound of crashing waves which reverberated throughout the mountain .

He had no choice but to fight with his life on the line, no matter the outcome .

A terrifying aura spread out as he released his peerless aura . The energy of an expert with six severed shackles spread out from him as he charged at Chu Feng .

At this time, Hei Teng was surging with black radiance . He was like a black sun, boiling with sable flames and powerful to the extreme .

Thump!

In a single clash, one of Chu Feng’s arms were fractured .

"Ah…" Hei Teng himself was also in great agony . He howled in pain as he felt his body on the verge of collapsing . Fresh blood was spurting out from the wound at his waist and the clear sounds of his bones cracking could be heard .

Hei Teng was frantic . His claws, glowing with explosive black light as if he had plucked a dark sun, slashed incessantly towards Chu Feng .

Although Chu Feng was retreating repeatedly and evading the powerful attacks from this expert with six severed shackles, he wasn’t able to completely evade the attacks . He had soon received multiple grave injuries .

With every exchange, he would sustain near lethal injuries . His ribs had fractured and a large see-through hole had appeared on his chest while a huge laceration could be seen on his neck .

"Ah…"

Hei Teng cried miserably . The lower part of his body had almost been torn apart . At this time he could no longer maintain his human body and had once again turned into a giant black snake hundreds of meters long .

Additionally, the space between his brows had opened up and was bleeding profusely along with many other wounds .

As he reverted to his wounded snake body, he immediately attempted to crush Chu Feng in a desperate fashion . He had thrown all caution to the wind and was releasing the most powerful form of his energy, hoping to kill Chu Feng before he himself collapse .

"Go to hell!" he roared loudly .

Boom!

Chu Feng decisively injected his energy into the diamond chakram and shot it out . It would be his fault if he couldn’t hit such a huge sitting target .

Pfft!

Hei Teng’s body had split into two at this point . With the added trauma from this extreme attack, it was adding wounds upon wounds—his condition was now dire .

The diamond chakram shot through his body after grinding his flesh and bones to form a gigantic bloody hole .

Chu Feng felt it was rather unfortunate that he hadn’t hit the opponent’s head .

Roar!

Hei Teng let out a furious roar and swung his body rapidly, immediately depriving a mountain of its cap .

He was enraged to the extreme after sustaining great injuries, but he didn’t let fury blind him . He stooped down and picked up his amputated lower half before escaping amidst a gust of whirlwind .

"Where do you think you’re going?!"

Chu Feng chased him down with the flying knife hacking ahead of him . With a pfft, a bloody plate sized wound was excavated on the Black Dragon Crown Prince’s upper body .

During the chase, Chu Feng felt his strength gradually wane . He had expended too much energy in addition to his severe wounds, multiple fractures and a bloody hole in his chest .

He put away his sword and decided not to chase further, lest they both perish together .

"Eh?!" Through the corner of his eyes, he saw someone moving towards the direction of his diamond chakram .

"Move if you dare!" Chu Feng rapidly closed the gap with the scarlet knife hovering above his head . His killing intent surged out and enveloped the whole area .

Those people immediately dived into the forest and hid themselves . They apparently didn’t dare to fight with Chu Feng after witnessing his recent fight with the Black Dragon Crown Prince of the Southern Seas .

With a swoosh, Chu Feng had recalled the diamond chakram with his spiritual powers . He then hoisted the piece of flood dragon flesh that he had just carved and disappeared into the thick mountainous woods .

He felt his physical condition to be rather critical and needed a place to heal himself .

This was the most critical condition he had been in since stepping onto the dao . He suffered multiple fractures and a penetrating chest wound; any normal person would have died long ago .

This was truly a battle that shook the world!

Chu Feng had almost killed the Black Dragon Crown Prince of the Southern Sea, causing a huge sensation . The shocked people were hardly able to believe this .

Now, almost everyone had come to accept that Chu Feng possessed a peerless technique . How otherwise was he able to fight on par with those at the higher level and even defeat a dragon prince with six severed shackles?
