Chapter 130: An Unexpected Sneak Attack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The bone-eating pain came and went quickly.
Zhou Feng felt that his body seemed to have become heavier.
Correspondingly, his defense and defensive abilities seemed to have been greatly enhanced.
‘Did my bones really change?’!!
A look of disbelief appeared on his face.
At the same time, Zhou Feng experienced a pleasant surprise. The original bone gangrene-like Demon-Devouring Seal couldn’t attach to his bones like before.
Old Demon Gu had left the Demon-Devouring Seal in Zhou Feng’s body, and it had been moving all over his body like a clump of mud.
He had found the seal’s location deep in his bones thanks to his excellent senses, but he was unable to remove it.
The Demon-Devouring Seal had penetrated deep into his bone marrow, so he would have to smash all the bones in his body and throw them away if he wanted to remove it.
‘To think that it still has such an effect!’
To be honest, Zhou Feng had never thought that his passive Reinforced Iron Bones would actually have such an effect.
His luck was too good!
Ever since he had started massacring others, good things had been coming wave after wave.
His cultivation base had broken through, and the Purple Jade Bell had become a spiritual artifact. Now, it seemed that the huge hidden danger of the Demon-Devouring Seal could also be removed.
Zhou Feng already felt that it was somewhat unreal. The experiences during this period made him feel like he was a Son of Providence.
‘Next, I just need to expel this Demon-Devouring Seal out of my body slowly!’
After breaking through to Grade-1 of the Soul Altar realm, an illusory spirit had formed in the Soul Altar, guarding it.
At present, the Demon-Devouring Seal that couldn’t be attached to the bones was no longer of any concern to Zhou Feng.
The only troublesome thing was that Old Demon Gu would definitely sense it once he removed the Demon-Devouring Seal.
At that time, he would have to face the pressure of a Purple Mansion expert directly.
‘Old Demon Gu…’
Although a Purple Mansion expert was very frightening, this still wouldn’t be able to stop Zhou Feng’s actions.
As long as this Demon-Devouring Seal wasn’t removed, he wouldn’t be able to sleep or eat in peace.
As such, Zhou Feng circulated the Demonic Qi in his entire body and began to remove the Demon-Devouring Seal forcibly.
Forcibly removing it like this was actually quite a heavy burden on Zhou Feng’s body.
Injuries were unavoidable, but he didn’t really care if he was injured or not.
In any case, he had many life-saving passive skills, so he didn’t really care about this little bit of injury.
Self-Healing Constitution, Unyielding Heart, and Fast Healing—these three passive skills were stacked together, so Zhou Feng’s injuries recovered swiftly.
There was the defense provided by Old Skin and Reinforced Iron Bones, as well as the damage-reducing Tough Skin.
These passive skills could all reduce the serious consequences of removing the Demon-Devouring Seal.
If other normal cultivators didn’t have Zhou Feng’s passive protection, they would have lost half of their lives.
Just trying to remove the Demon-Devouring Seal was enough to take half of one’s life.
Old Demon Gu probably did not expect such a freak to be able to break his Demon-Devouring Seal.
‘Come out!’
Zhou Feng’s expression hardened, and a small wound appeared on his chest.
A stream of fresh blood along with a ball of strange black energy shot out.
Zhou Feng’s face instantly turned pale.
“Die!”
When Zhou Feng was extremely weak and had no ability to resist, a stream of Sword Qi broke through the thick layer of rock.
A cold ‘Diel’ was transmitted into his ears.
Someone had ambushed him! Moreover, it was at such a timely moment.
Zhou Feng’s pupils constricted slightly.
‘How is this possible!? Why did someone manage to find me? Did they have to ambush me now!?’
Impossible!
Given his perception, as long as someone was close to him, he would be able to sense it immediately.
Moreover, Zhou Feng had set up many warning formations nearby.
Why was this person able to bypass his perception and warning formations and ambush him!?
Zhou Feng had just forcefully removed the Demon-Devouring Seal from his body, so his body was unable to move. Thus, he could only watch helplessly as a short sword stabbed into his heart.
The next second, the sound of metal colliding rang out.
“Demon-Devouring Gu!” roared Zhou Feng.
The Demon-Devouring Gu that had been lurking in his body exploded with power!
Violent Demonic Qi gushed out, using this force to pull back Zhou Feng’s body.
When Gong Wen saw this scene, his emotionless face immediately moved slightly.
That’s right! The person who tried to assassinate Zhou Feng was Gong Wen.
In fact, Gong Wen had been lurking nearby for a long time.
Relying on the Heaven’s Secret Mirror, Gong Wen had quickly found Zhou Feng’s location.
However, Gong Wen didn’t make a move immediately. Instead, he was like a patient hunter waiting for the best opportunity.
He had to ensure that Zhou Feng would die in one strike.
To be honest, when Gong Wen relied on the Heaven’s Secret Mirror to find Zhou Feng, he was completely frightened by Zhou Feng.
Zhou Feng was a Grade-1 Soul Altar cultivator now!
He exuded this aura of a Grade-1 Soul Altar expert, and the embryonic form of the nascent soul had already appeared.
This was a realm that Gong Wen had fought his entire life to reach.
Now, Zhou Feng had actually reached it? It was also said that Zhou Feng had cultivated for less than half a year.
What kind of monster was this? What kind of genius was this?
What made Gong Wen most fearful was that Zhou Feng was actually trying to remove the Demon-Devouring Seal.
As Gong Jiu’s Dao Protector, Gong Wen was naturally very familiar with Old Demon Gu.
The Demon-Devouring Seal was Old Demon Gu’s unique skill. Once he branded someone, no one could escape from Old Demon Gu’s palm.
Those who wanted to remove the Demon-Devouring Seal would all succumb to the backlash without exception and die.
But Zhou Feng seemed to have succeeded!
No one knew what method Zhou Feng used, but he was actually able to withstand the backlash from removing the Demon-Devouring Seal.
After seeing this, Gong Wen couldn’t hold it in any longer. He had to finish off Zhou Feng.
Thus, the sneak attack just now.
As for why Zhou Feng couldn’t sense Gong Wen’s presence, it was naturally because of the Heaven’s Secret Mirror’s existence.
Besides being able to find Zhou Feng’s specific location, the Heaven’s Secret Mirror also had the function of concealing one’s aura.
Even though it could only be used once, this was still a spiritual artifact.
Originally, Gong Wen thought that his attack was perfect.
Zhou Feng was completely unable to resist his sword, and the final result was a stand of Sword Qi piercing through his heart.
However, an accident still happened. Gong Wen’s Netherworld Thorn, which had been nurtured for decades, actually did not pierce through Zhou Feng’s body.
Instead, it seemed to have pierced through a piece of fine iron.
Zhou Feng even pulled away from it.
At that critical moment, Zhou Feng’s body could not move, but the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body could.
The benefits of refining Vital Gu were fully displayed at this moment.
“Die!”
Zhou Feng had just retreated. When the backlash from removing the Demon-Devouring Seal was suppressed, he immediately charged forward. He did not seem to care about his injuries at all, looking just like a madman.
Gong Wen, who was greatly shocked, did not continue chasing after him.
Instead, he lightly retreated. His expression was eerily calm. Other than the slight fluctuation in his eyes just now, there was no other change.
However, in the next second, Gong Wen could no longer maintain such a calm expression.
Because Zhou Feng directly suppressed Gong Wen with the Purple Jade Bell! The Purple Jade Bell was a genuine spiritual artifact now!
