The Sacred Ruins
chapter-274

Chu Feng smiled at the interesting scene playing out before him . The Extraterrestrial Research Institute was actually acting so pompously after seeing him . They hadn't the slightest idea about their imminent calamity .

They even sent out some unknown youngster like Huo Lin who immediately started calling him brother with great boldness . It was simply too casual and arbitrary .

"Brother Chu, I'll introduce you to a few friends from Gusu City . They're nice people . " Huo Lin approached Chu Feng with great familiarity as if it was only natural .

He almost patted Chu Feng's shoulders but withdrew his hand at the last moment . He obviously didn't dare to do that .

The name Demon King Chu would normally cause even king level entities to tremble in fright, but these people from the Extraterrestrial Research Institute were quite calm .

"Chu Feng, it's an honor to finally meet you . Your name resounds like thunder," a middle-aged man spoke with a smile . He came forth and introduced himself as Yang Jinxuan .

The Yang family and the Huo family were both important members of the Institute .

Later on, various conceited elders and higher-ups of the Extraterrestrial Research Institute greeted Chu Feng only after being introduced by Yang Jingxuan .

They were smiling and always maintained a level of etiquette, but it was obvious that they didn't fear Chu Feng at all . Otherwise, they wouldn't be so calm after being called upon by Chu Feng .

The female king Huo Yan directly asked Chu Feng why he had come .

Chu Feng smiled even brighter after seeing those people from the institute pretend to be confused without much fear .

"Brother Chu is an honored guest . Since you're here, please come inside," Huo Lin spoke once again and intimately invited Chu Feng to follow them deeper into the garden .

Chu Feng didn't move and kept on looking at the people here .

"Brother Chu, let's go . " Huo Lin placed his hand on Chu Feng's shoulders after seeing the latter hadn't moved .

Thump!

At this moment, Chu Feng's shoulder started glowing . Huo Lin was sent flying by the force and was left hanging on a distant pavilion . His face was pale and blood was seeping out of his mouth . Everything happened in an instant .

"Brother Chu, isn't it quite inappropriate for you to hurt people at our Extraterrestrial Research Institute?" Yang Jinxuan appeared rather displeased .

"Chu Feng, what's the meaning of this?!" Huo Yan coldly asked . Her expression was ugly because Huo Lin was her son .

Chu Feng replied, "I say, the youths from your Extraterrestrial Research Institute are too confident and overly casual . Not even king level entities dare to touch my shoulders . "

"He's only being cordial . Don't you think it's too unreasonable to hurt others like this?" Huo Lin's voice was frosty .

"I'm not friend friends with him . You tell me which king level entity will allow any random person to pat his shoulder?" Chu Feng was still smiling .

"It's all just a misunderstanding . Little Brother Chu is an honored guest whose presence brings light to our institute . Please come inside . "

The number elders came to help smooth things over . They were all smiles as they invited Chu Feng inside .

Huo Lin was a mutant . Even though he had been wounded and shocked, he was still able to jump down from the pavilion . His furious eyes were cold as he glared at Chu Feng's figure from behind .

"What's so great about him?! Rushing over to the Archaic Alliance with a large force only to be forced to leave in dejection . Now, he's come over to our Extraterrestrial Research Institute with such atrocity . Does he think we're easy to trample over?" he muttered .

Although his voice was merely an inaudible whisper, everyone here were mutants with extraordinary senses and naturally heard them .

Chu Feng halted his steps but didn't turn around . "The young are truly frivolous . It seems this youth here refuses to take things lying down . "

"Brother Chu, please don't mind him . Who hasn't gone through such an age? They're all full of vigor and youth . Please don't bother yourself with him . " The elder had a way with words .

"Let's go, Brother Chu," another elder consoled . He was afraid that this matter would go out of hand .

Although they had someone to rely on, they still didn't want to offend Chu Feng completely .

Huo Lin didn't dare to say anything but was obviously dissatisfied .

"It seems you're still unresigned and hostile . " Chu Feng looked at him .

Huo Lin revealed a disdainful smile . "You're talking as if you're so great . If you're so majestic and awe-inspiring, how come you suffered such a loss at the Archaic Alliance?!"

He had already heard from Zhang Cheng about how incapable Chu Feng was . The news had already spread within their small circle .

Back then, Zhang Cheng had told them that Demon King Chu didn't amount to much . He was suppressed on the spot and forced to leave dejectedly after the Zhang family made a call to the Hollow Jade Temple Master .

Huo Lin felt that the institute was, likewise, safe under the protection of the Eight Visions Temple Master and that they could suppress Chu Feng's temper .

"Our Extraterrestrial Research Institute doesn't actively seek trouble and neither are we afraid of trouble!" Huo Lin coldly said .

"Shut it!" an elder berated .

"Ho? You're provoking me?" Chu Feng turned around and pressed forth with his hand . A faint golden light was flowing around him as terrifying energy surged wildly .

"You!" Huo Yan was shocked as she hurriedly moved to interfere .

Chu Feng's energy, however, was extremely violent and swift . The palm image had long since shot out amidst the raging glow of energy and couldn't be stopped .

Pfft!

Huo Lin flew out like a rag and began to disintegrate mid-air . His expression was one of extremely terror .

With a buzz, Huo Yan leapt up with full power and pulled away the remaining upper half of Huo Lin's body . She pressed down and began to inject large amounts of vitality .

She used every ounce of her strength to dissolve the residual energy from Chu Feng's palm strike and prevented Huo Lin's upper body from disintegrating . Even so, many frightening cracks could be seen on his body .

Huo Yan didn't arrive in time to suppress the power on the lower half of Huo Lin's body, which immediately exploded upon contact .

"Chu Feng, you've gone overboard . You dare commit murder at our Extraterrestrial Research Institute!" Huo Yan was shocked at the fate of her son .

She had temporarily retained Huo Lin's life but he had already lost the lower half of his body . This meant that he would be disabled even if he survived . This caused her eyes to turn red .

"Overboard? Didn't you think of this word when your institute sent people to collude with the beast race and kill me?" Chu Feng calmly asked .

"Stop speaking nonsense!" Huo Yan denied .

The few elders felt that the situation wasn't quite encouraging . "Everything was a misunderstanding . Chu Feng please calm down . Let's sit down and talk this over . "

There were many pavilions within this scenic garden district . They wanted to invite Chu Feng to sit down and discuss things instead of a direct conflict .

At the same time, one of the elders wanted to contact the Eight Visions Temple Master and have him suppress Chu Feng . It seemed disaster was bound to strike otherwise!

"You were forced to retreat from the Archaic Alliance and didn't dare touch them . But how come you have the courage to terrorize our Extraterrestrial Research Institute?" Huo Lin's eyes were spewing out fire after being crippled . He wanted an answer for this prejudice .

At this time, the black yak loudly laughed . "Boasting will kill you . Your little friend Zhang Cheng is already dead . He really has the nerve to dispatch a king level entity in secret . "

At this time, a person hurriedly rushed into the garden as if they had brought some secret news . That person was so shocked when he saw Chu Feng that he staggered backwards and almost fell to the ground .

A few reports appeared in the hands of Huo Yan and the elders . They were all terrified and suddenly looked towards Chu Feng .

"Not only did you kill the Zhang family and Liu Ziheng, but you also robbed the Archaic Alliance's treasury?!" Huo Yan's voice was trembling .

Everyone present began to slowly edge backward . Their faces went pale as they realized things were likely going south!

Didn't the Hollow Jade Temple Master suppress this demon? Why did such a thing happen?

Huo Lin's face was full of terror . Things turned out completely different from what he imagined . Didn't Zhang Cheng say that the Hollow Jade Temple and Eight Vision Temple were sufficient to suppress this Demon King Chu? But they were still killed in the end!

He recalled his previous behavior and couldn't help but tremble .

Yang Jingxuan could no longer keep his calm at this time . The elders had also lost their conceited appearance as if someone had broken their spines . All of them felt chilled from head to toe .

Just a while ago, they were calm and unperturbed . They weren't particularly afraid of this Demon King Chu who had come knocking on their doors .

Now, everything was different . The explosive news from the Archaic Alliance caused their hair to stand on end!

"Brother Chu, please listen to our explanation . "

An elder respectfully bowed, his forehead dripping with cold sweat and his stance, humble . He was afraid Chu Feng would immediately start a massacre .

"Why did your institution plot against me?" Chu Feng asked . The corporate king level agents were especially vicious in their attacks against him . He was puzzled as to when he had ever offended them .

The elders were all dripping with cold sweat . One of them began to call the Eight Visions Temple Master .

Another mustered up the courage to explain, "Everything is for self-preservation . The beings from the outer region will soon be upon us . We wanted to obtain a peerless breathing technique and occupy a famed mountain so that we can gain a foothold . "

"What greed!"

Chu Feng coldly replied . He sent another palm strike towards Hong Lin with a boom .

"You dare harm my son!" The frantic Hong Yan rapidly retreated . She was terrified at the moment and could no longer maintain her previous calm .

"Why wouldn't I? I also plan to kill you! Do you really think I don't recognize that you were one of those who besieged me that night?!" Chu Feng coldly spoke .

Huo Yan discharged her aura the moment she moved to save Huo Lin whereupon Chu Feng immediately recognized her as one of the human kings who had encircled him that day .

"No!"

"Ah…"

Huo Lin was terrified while Huo Yan was screaming but none of that did anything to help . Huo Lin was blown into pieces the moment Chu Feng's palm strike arrived .

Huo Yan was able to momentarily resist the energy but the crippled son in her arms wasn't so fortunate . He immediately lost his life .

"Your turn!" Chu Feng's killing intent surged as he strode forward in large strides . He had finally begun to move and was no longer just sending out casual strikes from where he stood .

"Little dog, I'll fight it out with you . Return my son's life!" Huo Yan had gone berserk .

"Little Brother Chu, please stay your hand . The Eight Visions Temple Master wishes to talk to you!" a deathly pale elder hurriedly shouted from behind .

In truth, the higher ups of the institute were all panic-stricken at the moment .

Chu Feng felt frustrated after hearing this . The Hollow Jade Temple Master had stopped him when he went to the Archaic Alliance, and now the Eight Visions Temple Master was going to block his way at the Extraterrestrial Research Institute .

One had to know that both these corporations had attempted to kill Chu Feng . They had dispatched king level experts to hunt and besiege him . They were irreconcilable enemies!

"Forgive me, but I'll talk to him after I finish killing!" Chu Feng replied .

Boom!

His fist intent erupted! He tore through the air with Demon Ox Fist in his left hand and Demon Flood Dragon Fist in his right . The images of a primordial bull and a flood dragon churned through the starry skies with great ferocity .

Thump!

How could Huo Yan block this attack? She was sent flying under Chu Feng's furious strike and her body began to crack apart like porcelain, having sustained grievous injuries .

In the end, she burst apart with a pfft . All that remained was a bloody mist .

The place became deathly silent . Everyone from the Extraterrestrial Research Institute felt cold all over .

"Sigh, I got too angry . I shouldn't have done this," Chu Feng shook his head and blamed himself .

The others from the institute felt somewhat relieved after hearing this . The tense atmosphere was also alleviated, but Chu Feng's following words caused them to tense up immediately .

"Killing is fine but I should've maintained a peaceful and radiant mental state," Chu Feng muttered and began to circulate his breathing technique . Divine splendor began to circulate around him, inundating him with a holy aura .

He was indeed furious moments ago but now he had become calm and mild . He took the communicator from the elders to talk with the Eight Visions Temple Master .
