Stellar Transformation-Chapter 50 - 4 Sudden Disaster (Part 2)

At this moment, it was deep autumn, the autumn wind rose, the withered leaves fell, and the tranquil Bai Sha Town was welcoming some unusual visitors.

In an ancient mansion, the forces of Zhu San, the richest man on the Hidden Dragon Continent, and a team of experts dispatched by Emperor Xiang Guang of the Chu Dynasty gathered. Both parties were exceedingly cautious, but their strengths were simply not on the same level. For some unknown reason, Zhu San had only sent one Innate expert, and he was just in the Early Stage Innate.

However, the people sent by Xiang Guang were all experts, with many being Innate experts.

"I am Yi Feng, and we have brought our items. What about yours?" a handsome man said with a sinister smile on his face. This Yi Feng was the younger brother of Yi Yan, the commander of the secret military force ’Ba Long Army,’ and also its deputy commander.

The leader on Zhu San’s side was a chubby old man who smiled and said, "Gentlemen, is there a need to worry? With so few of us here, we wouldn’t dare deceive you. The corpse of the Demon Beast Sword-toothed Tiger, intact and unblemished, bring it up!"

With a loud shout from the chubby old man, immediately, four burly men carried up a five-meter-long dark red tiger corpse, its sixteen sharp spikes identifying it as the Demon Beast Sword-toothed Tiger.

"A Demon Beast truly is remarkable, to be uncorrupted even after such a long time," Yi Feng said with a slight smile.

The chubby old man shook his head and said, "Mr. Yi, although a Demon Beast’s flesh is indeed remarkable and takes a long time to decay, we also sprinkled some ’Langan Powder’ on this tiger corpse, which has preserved it from any decay for such a long time."

"Tsk tsk, Langan Powder, it’s no wonder the richest man in the world is the richest man in the world," Yi Feng admired with tsk-tsk sounds, "Alright, we have now inspected our goods, please check ours as well." With a wave of his hand, someone immediately presented a jade box from behind him.

Opening the jade box, the square jade inside was emitting rays of multicolored light.

The chubby old man narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the square jade, sparks of keen light flickering, and then he looked up and laughed, "No need for a detailed inspection; we trust the royal credibility. Good, it’s a pleasure doing business together, and our boss will definitely have many dealings with the Xiang Royal Family in the future."

Yi Feng nodded his head with satisfaction.

"Come, take the Sword-toothed Tiger corpse." At Yi Feng’s command, four men immediately came forward and carried away the enormous corpse, while the chubby old man took the Tongtian Map. Both parties were sincere and immensely pleased with the cooperation.

Just then, wisps of faint, almost invisible smoke drifted over, and immediately, individuals started to collapse weakly; the four men carrying the Sword-toothed Tiger corpse also fell instantly, and then blood flowed from all seven orifices, resulting in their instant death.

"This is bad, the smoke is poisonous." The chubby old man’s voice rang out simultaneously.

In just a moment, everyone on the chubby old man’s side, except for him, had died from poisoning. Meanwhile, countless individuals from Yi Feng’s side also continued to fall, leaving only eight standing, all of whom were Innate experts who had come with him.

Innate experts can hold their breath and maintain Innate Fetal Breath. Naturally, the poison smoke was useless, and even if they inhaled a bit, with an Innate expert’s Innate True Qi, they could quickly exert their power to expel the poison.

"People of Qin De." Yi Feng’s voice grew colder, "Qin De, to dare interfere in the Emperor’s affairs, are you intending to revolt!" Yi Feng’s voice was loud, spreading directly outside the courtyard.

This was the Eastern Domain Three Prefectures, aside from Prince Zhen Dong, Qin De, who else would know of this matter? Even if they knew, who else would have the audacity to intervene.

"Revolt? With Zhen Xu helping that scoundrel Xiang Guang, he surely knows of the Prince’s affairs as well. Although we’ve reached this point, appearances must still be maintained. For now, we won’t openly eliminate your Xiang Family, but... as long as we kill all of you, Xiang Guang also won’t have enough evidence, right?" an elderly voice rose.

Led by Lian Yan, a total of three people entered the courtyard. Seeing that these three were unafraid of the poison smoke, it was evident they were all Innate experts. However, it was only three against Yi Feng’s remaining eight, and that chubby old man was also an Innate expert.

Yet even Yi Feng looked rather troubled.

"Prince Zhen Dong, our boss is..." the chubby old man started to say something, but...

"Whoosh!"

A streak of cold light flashed, and the chubby old man died with eyes wide open. Behind Lian Yan, a black-clothed elder chuckled coldly, having killed an Innate Expert with a single move, leaving the chubby old man utterly defenseless.

Prince Zhen Dong, Qin De, had a total of three people on his side.

Two were Late-stage Innate Experts, and there was Lian Yan, a super expert who had achieved Innate Great Perfection, the pinnacle of the Late Innate Stage. Achieving Innate Great Perfection meant that the "Four-nine Heavenly Tribulations" were next.

"Prince Zhen Dong indeed has strong abilities, but to come and snatch with only three people seems to greatly underestimate us," Yi Feng said coldly.

Behind Yi Feng were seven others; among them, only one was a Late-stage Innate Expert, most were Middle Innate and Early Innate. Yi Feng himself was merely at Middle Innate. In terms of strength, Qin De’s three experts, especially Lian Yan at Innate Great Perfection, were unmatched by anyone.

"Gentlemen, no need for further talk, let’s take action," Lian Yan said indifferently.

"Yes, Senior Lian!" The two black-clothed elders bowed, under Qin De’s command, Lian Yan held an extremely high status. No matter the level of the expert, upon meeting Lian Yan, they all addressed him as ’Senior Lian’. This was not only because of Lian Yan’s formidable strength, but also his seniority.

A glint of cold light flashed in Yi Feng’s eyes: "Surround them, eliminate the Late-stage Innate first."

Suddenly—

Including Yi Feng, eight Innate experts charged towards the trio led by Lian Yan, who simply smiled lightly without moving. The two black-clothed elders behind Lian Yan flashed forward side by side.

"Swoosh!"

Lian Yan’s figure flashed and vanished into thin air.

The only Late-stage Innate Expert among Yi Feng’s group suddenly felt a bad premonition and, acting on instinct, he dramatically swung his sword diagonally backward. With a "boom!", Lian Yan reappeared in front of him, smiling slightly: "Quick reaction."

Suddenly, a brilliant blade light bloomed.

The Late-stage Innate Expert frantically raised his sword to defend, but through the blade, a sharp Innate Sword Energy pierced through, attacking directly inside the body of the Late-stage Innate Expert, who then "boom!" exploded into pieces.

The only Late-stage Innate Expert was dead, and Lian Yan couldn’t help but smile slightly.

However, before Lian Yan could sheathe his sword, his expression changed, and he immediately flashed away, but still a sharp whistling sound rang out, and a blood mark appeared on Lian Yan’s face, instantly stopping the melee.

A middle-aged man in pink clothes smiled looking at Lian Yan.

"Qingyu, it’s you," Lian Yan’s eyes flashed with sharp lights.

"Father." Upon seeing the pink-clothed middle-aged man, Yi Feng quickly bowed. This middle-aged man was Elder Yu, the actual leader of this troop and the father of Ba Long Army Deputy Commander Yi Yan, the former leader of the Ba Long Army.

Yi Qingyu was the name of this Elder Yu.

"Lian Yan, you haven’t lost your touch, I was a bit slow, and you killed a Late-stage Innate Expert. But... this time, you won’t be able to escape," Yi Qingyu said with a faint smile, radiant as a gorgeous peach blossom.

A cold light flickered between those slender fingers.
