Eternal Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 289 - 279: Spider Silk Sword

Feng Haizhong, of course, had no right to challenge a War King, and neither did Yue Feng, but neither were Chu Hao and his two companions that War King. Moreover, they clearly weren’t the disciples of that War King either.

Who knew how distant a relation they were.

Behind them stood Shi Yuanming, while behind him was Tu Honglie, who was most certainly a great deal stronger than Shi Yuanming if one were to compare backgrounds. As for reasoning, it was Chu Hao and his friends who had struck first, and in terms of strength, he could suppress the three of them with just one hand.

With an advantage in every aspect, how could Feng Haizhong be willing to just let things be? He couldn’t afford to lose face.

"Out of respect for Enforcer Shi, you three kneel down and apologize to my cousin, then sever an arm, and we can call this matter settled," Feng Haizhong said very domineeringly.

That was truly ruthless, and moreover, his tone was so imposing, as if he were on equal footing with Shi Yuanming.

Fu Xue immediately rolled up her sleeves and said, "Cockeye, keep blabbering, and see if I don’t beat you up."

Cockeye? Cockeye?

Feng Haizhong’s mouth twisted in anger. He did have a slight squint, but it wasn’t serious. You couldn’t really tell unless you looked closely. Besides, who would dare to say to his face that he had a squint?

He looked at Fu Xue coldly and said, "Do you know the saying, ’Disasters stem from the mouth’?"

"I think you’re the one who should really understand the meaning of those words. Don’t ask for trouble," Chu Hao interjected.

"Hmm?" Feng Haizhong was naturally even more angry. How were these three people even crazier than him? One with the Four Meridians, and another just with the Single-Meridian, but their audacity was simply preposterous. He really didn’t know where their confidence came from.

He snorted and said, "It seems you really do need to be taught a lesson."

"Chu Hao, leave this guy to you," Fu Xue patted Chu Hao on the shoulder and said unceremoniously. She had already heard from the Barbaric Girl about Feng Haizhong’s Realm, and she knew she wasn’t a match for him at this time, so naturally, it was up to Chu Hao.

Chu Hao gave a faint smile and said, "Just a dog; I’ll make sure to give a good lesson to prevent it from constantly coming out to bite people."

These two guys!

Feng Haizhong was so furious that he was practically fuming, and he simply could not understand. Clearly, his Realm was much higher than these two, so why were they turning a blind eye?

Indeed, there were many fools in the world, but how could someone foolish to this extent be connected with Enforcer Shi?

He just couldn’t figure it out.

But if he couldn’t figure it out, then so be it. His dignity was not to be undermined, after all.

"I have seen plenty of madmen, but compared to you, they are all modest," Feng Haizhong said coldly, "Today, I’ll let you know what ’high heavens and thick earth’ means."

"Senior Brother Feng, and these three—" The disciple in black was in a difficult position, unable to offend either side. However, with little influence and not even having stepped into the martial master Realm, how could he have the qualifications to stop the fight?

"Shut up!" Feng Yuan snapped harshly. He had been punched by the Barbaric Girl, and now his teeth were somewhat loose. His heart was filled with resentment; how could he let others meddle? Although he was not a disciple of the Spirit Spring Sect, he had higher Cultivation than the others and Feng Haizhong’s support, so he was certainly not afraid.

The disciple in black was anxiously sweating buckets. He thought he had landed an easy job, but it had turned into a hot potato, and now he was filled with regret.

"You—" Feng Haizhong pointed at Chu Hao, "I’ll start with you."

Chu Hao smiled faintly and said, "There’s no before and after here. If you can take one punch from me, I’ll let you off today."

"Ridiculous!" Feng Haizhong was so angry his eyes were shooting sparks, and he could not hold back any longer. He immediately lunged at Chu Hao. Did this kiddo think he was a First Tier Warrior?

Let’s see who gets blown away by a punch!

Feng Haizhong attacked swiftly, his right hand turning into a palm, and viciously aimed a swipe at Chu Hao’s face. He wanted to wake this nonsensical fool.

Of course, out of consideration for Enforcer Shi, he dared not kill nor cripple Chu Hao, but if he gave him a good beating, surely Enforcer Shi would not shoot Tu Honglie over it.

Just as his hand was about to hit Chu Hao’s face, suddenly, Chu Hao moved.

With this movement, like a dragon soaring from the ninth heaven, a terrifying aura burst forth from Chu Hao’s body, so oppressive that Feng Haizhong felt as if he couldn’t catch his breath.

A swish, and Chu Hao also threw a slap, reaching his target first despite launching later, slapping Feng Haizhong’s face.

How could this be possible!

Slap.

Before Feng Haizhong could even process a thought, he heard the crisp sound of a slap and then felt a burning pain on his face, as his whole body was forcefully flung into the air by the immense power.

Feng Yuan immediately spat out, his face showing complete shock.

In his mind, he had already conjured numerous scenarios of Chu Hao being brutally beaten, but not a single one matched the scene before him, not even remotely.

Was it really his cousin who had been slapped away?

It had to be fake, he must be seeing things! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Feng Haizhong, despite being Eight Meridians Martial Sect, immediately somersaulted in midair, stabilizing his stance, only to feel such numbness on his face from the pain. However, the physical pain couldn’t compare to the shock in his heart at that moment, causing him to open his mouth wide, like he had seen a ghost, staring at the young man standing in front of him.

This fellow was at most 20 years old, about five or six years younger than him.

In their age group, not to mention a five or six-year difference, even a difference of a year or two could lead to a substantial gap in strength. And his talent wasn’t low at all; in the Martial Master Realm, he had reached Nine Meridians, and now he was also about to advance into Nine Meridians Martial Sect. Those who could reach Eighteen Meridians within the Three Minor Realms were one in a million among martial artists.

But how could such a one-in-a-million genius, with a five or six-year age advantage, get slapped away by Chu Hao?

How could he make sense of this?

"You’re definitely not a Single-Meridian Martial Sect! Who exactly are you?" He wasn’t stupid. If a Single-Meridian Martial Sect could slap an Eight Meridians Martial Sect at will, then the world would have been turned upside down long ago.

Chu Hao simply smiled faintly and said, "What are you that you deserve to know my name?"

So arrogant!

Feng Haizhong clenched his teeth, his eyes seemingly about to spew out flames. He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart and rebuilding his confidence. With Seventeen Meridians, only a few within the Three Minor Realms were stronger than himself. He must have been careless earlier, which allowed the opponent to slap him away so easily.

Another battle, this time he would give it his all, with no room for mishaps.

He flicked his right hand, and a long sword appeared in it. The blade was extremely thin, so much so that when held out, one might not even see the blade. Such a thin sword did not seem like a weapon a man should wield, but in Feng Haizhong’s hands, this thin sword exuded a dangerous aura that sent chills down one’s spine

Confidence flared up on Feng Haizhong’s face as he said, "This is the Spider Silk Sword, a Divine Weapon bestowed upon me by Lord Yue Feng, from ancient ruins."

An artefact from the Ancient Times?

Chu Hao nodded; indeed, it seemed impossible for such a thin sword blade to contain any engravings, and the hilt was rather delicate as well, unlikely to embed an inner core of ferocious beasts. This was completely different from the Treasure Artifacts of today.

The Tool-Forging Technique from Ancient Times and the modern era belonged to entirely different fields. Which one was stronger?

At the same tier, artefacts from Ancient Times were more impressive.

This had been proven by the several ancient artefacts Chu Hao had encountered.

Take for instance the Purple Spirit Robe that You Zhiyuan wore; it could completely neutralize attacks at the Martial Sect level, something no current Defensive Treasure Artifact could do—they could only dissipate part of the impact damage.

The Temple Block utilized by Life-taking Monk Zhu Wuji could even transform its sound waves, possessing might comparable to Zhu Wuji himself, which was even more unimaginable.

The current era attack-type Treasure Artifacts could increase combat power by twenty to thirty percent and people would still fight tooth and nail for them.

Ancient Times was a true golden age of martial arts, with delights like Dragon Tooth Rice being common enough to be eaten as food, clearly indicating the prosperity of martial arts at that time.

In fact, Chu Hao also possessed two items from Ancient Times, a Bird Feather and a Mysterious Jade Seal, and who would say they weren’t formidable?

Of course, to deal with Feng Haizhong, he didn’t need to use these two items.

"So what?" Chu Hao said indifferently, ready for battle as long as it wasn’t against a War King-tier combat power.

"You will bow and submit." Feng Haizhong sneered coldly. Even he was fearful of the might of the Spider Silk Sword. For instance, if another him wielded this Treasure Artifact, then his only option would be to admit defeat helplessly.

"Then bring on the battle. I truly wish to see what it can do," said Chu Hao, full of interest. The modern Treasure Artifacts were straightforward, enhancing strength with the inner core of ferocious beasts and a certain element such as flames, frost, or lightning—relatively simple compared to the artifacts of Ancient Times, which allowed sound waves to take physical form.

Feng Haizhong spoke no more. Clearly, the other was a tough nut to crack, so there was no point in wasting words. He brandished his sword, and whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, golden light beams surged from the tip of his blade, spreading out in all directions.

Interesting.

Chu Hao remained still, simply watching with his hands behind his back. He saw that these golden light beams did not fade away gradually, but as Feng Haizhong continued to brandish his sword, more and denser golden threads filled the air, as if weaving a spider’s web around him.

Indeed, the Spider Silk Sword naturally wove a spider web, quite fitting.

But what was the power of this "spider silk"?

Chu Hao raised his hand and whoosh, a Crescent Slash immediately swept out, striking the golden threads.

Zzzt!

The Crescent Slash blasted through, emitting a piercing screech as it forced the golden threads back a distance, like a big fish struggling to break free from a net. However, the web was resilient enough to restrain the fish firmly.

After a few seconds, as the power of the Crescent Slash dissipated, the golden web returned to its original state.

"Ha ha ha ha, boy, what can you do now?" Feng Haizhong laughed loudly. Facing the Spider Silk Sword, the wisest course of action was to turn and run immediately, to avoid giving the golden threads a chance to ensnare, as once the web was complete, one would be trapped like a turtle in a jar.

Chu Hao simply smiled faintly and launched another Crescent Slash, this time infusing it with Starlight.

Zzzt, the grating noise came again, but this time the Crescent Slash had increased in power significantly, tearing a hole in the golden web before blasting through and vanishing after traveling some distance.

"Not so special!" Chu Hao shook his head. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
