Chapter 363: Subdue
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Mystic One's patience had already been worn down long ago. She was no longer in a mood to quibble further with these people. Without waiting for Jin Sanjue to say anything, she walked over with a sway of her slender hips.
Seeing this, Jin Sanjue stood over to the side quietly with a meaningful gleam in his eyes. At the same time, he felt a bit of embarrassment at failing to control his own men, being the target of insubordination in front of everyone.
"Why? You want to use violence against me?"
Dong Yunpeng snorted coldly as he regarded Mystic One. This little girl was quite pretty and although she was still a little young, her features had begun to blossom.
"A bunch of trash like you have the guts to defy my orders?" Mystic One spat coldly as she walked up to Dong Yunpeng. Although she was not as tall as the latter, she gave everyone a feeling as though she was high above Dong Yunpeng!
"Plop!"
A powerful pressure surged towards Dong Yunpeng. The poor fellow was only a half-step Evolved Jing master, so how would he have the ability to resist Mystic One's Xiantian aura? In an instant, he was forced to his knees by the pressure!
Even the martial artists behind him felt a heavy feeling like a rock sitting against their chest, causing them to take numerous steps backwards.
At the same time, everyone sucked in a cold breath of air at the same time. From the sound of Dong Yunpeng's knees hitting the ground, it sounded like it was extremely painful!
"B*tch! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
Ever since Dong Yunpeng received the acknowledgement of that Xiantian Lord, even the three top executives of Qingcheng's Martial Practitioners Control Department had to be polite to him. As a result, his pride had been greatly inflated.
But right now, he was forced to kneel down before a little girl. How great a humiliation was that?! In the heat of the moment, he had already lost his mind from rage. How would he have the mind to think about how the little girl was able to force him to his knees just with her aura alone?!
"My master is an esteemed Xiantian Lord! Damn all of you! I will definitely make you all pay the price for this!"
Dong Yunpeng was extremely unconvinced. His eyes were practically boiling with hate and anger at this point.
Jin Sanjue stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Miss, do you think we should show him mercy this time? His master is a pretty well-known Xiantian Lord, I don't wish to create trouble for Lord Bei Feng for no reason."
The way he saw it, although Bei Feng had indeed killed Xiantian Lords before, it still wasn't a good thing to offend other Xiantian Lords on his behalf.
"Xiantian? That might barely be sufficient to qualify as a servant under my boss!"
Mystic One turned around and revealed a sinister smile, leaving Jin Sanjue completely speechless!
"The most important thing for a person is to have some sense of their own limitations. Please improve your eyesight in the next life."
Mystic One narrowed her eyes and lifted her whip.
The crimson whip seemed to have turned alive as it coiled agilely around Dong Yunpeng's body!
"AH! You dare to kill me? My master will not let you off!"
The sharp edges of the whip tightened around Dong Yunpeng's body, drawing thin lines of blood out, causing the crimson whip to seem a shade more devilish.
The whip was as agile as a snake, tightening around Dong Yunpeng's body slowly. At this point, his screams were the only sounds left in the area.
As the whip coiled around his head, the screams become more and more muffled until, finally, nothing could be heard!
Mystic One pulled back her whip expressionlessly, revealing the grossly deformed Dong Yunpeng. With an in icy gaze, she looked over at the crowd who were all standing quietly like a group of frozen cicadas in winter. "Anyone else who is still unconvinced? Feel free to step out. However, your ending will be the same as this fellow!"
Mystic One pulled lightly on her whip and met the eyes of the crowd. In that moment, not a single person dared to open their mouth. Whoever stuck their heads out first would definitely be met with death only!
Everyone was cursing Jin Sanjue's entire 18 generations of ancestors in their hearts at this point. At the same time, they were regretting following him here.
'This lass is still so young, but her temper is really fiery!'
'This girl is so vicious!'
'Hmph! I'd like to see how Jin Sanjue will answer to the organization later. As for these two who dare to interfere with the Martial Practitioners Control Department's operations, they, too, would not be able to escape!'
Many of the people present were grumbling in their hearts, each harboring their own thoughts. However, with an example laid out before them, nobody dared to raise their heads.
The group of experts hurried into the villa estate. Although Tang Weiguo and the rest tried to stop them, they were still forced to stand on the side and watch helplessly as numerous Martial Practitioners Control Department authorization badges were flashed in their faces.
At this time, Bei Feng had felled a large tree and hollowed it out, fashioning it into a wooden boat which he placed on the lake. In his hands was an ordinary fishing rod. The line hanging from it did not even have a hook.
The aquatic plants around the lake were plentiful and further out, there were numerous large trees growing closely together, each with trunks thick enough for several people to wrap their arms around. These trees originally only had trunks with the thickness of an adult's thigh. But after absorbing the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi drawn over during the System's upgrade, as well as the gush of energy saturated by the Primordial Chaos Qi during the solar eclipse, they had all grown rapidly!
Bei Feng closed his eyes and allowed the wind to carry his little boat as it pleased. His mind was filled with the image of Mystic Moon.
"I don't even know if this goodbye is temporary, or an eternal separation," Bei Feng muttered silently. The universe was simply too huge. Without knowing where she had gone, where would he start searching?
Even if he had had the System's aid and sufficient experience points to forcefully traverse all the different worlds, he still wouldn't have had any confidence of finding her!
This task was essentially more daunting than searching for a needle in an ocean! At the very least, it was possible to find out the exact size and limits of an ocean. However, the universe was simply too expansive!
The fishing rod in his hands was not the Golden Ebony Fishing Rod. This was just a normal bamboo pole with a string tied to it.
Bei Feng inserted his blood and Qi into the fishing rod, causing a dark-red energy to appear around the rod. In an instant, this ordinary rod had taken on an extraordinary look!
"Pa!"
As the blood and Qi energy rose to a certain limit, the fishing rod suddenly exploded, turning into mere dust and powder which disappeared with the wind.
Bei Feng shook his head and threw the tiny section of bamboo in his had away. After that, he laid down on the boat with a light sigh as he allowed the wind to carry the boat.
"I still can't do it... is it really so hard to refine Qi into a thread?"
Bei Feng sighed lightly. He could not remember how many times he'd failed already. From the time he successfully introduced his blood and Qi energy into the Fusang Wood Fishing Rod, he'd been practicing this technique secretly by himself.
Unfortunately, this technique was incredibly difficult, causing him to feel extremely unresigned.
Still, he did not throw in the towel yet. This kind of ability to refine Qi into thread was much stronger than his current method of wielding his strength!
The boat floated lightly across the center of the lake, gently stirring up some light ripples. At the bottom of the lake of unknown depths, a huge head reared up, and its eyes swiveled upwards. After a short moment, it began to swim upwards.
This fish looked incredibly savage, like a giant piranha! A third of the scales around its stomach was red and its mouth was filled with huge sharp teeth, causing any who looked at it to feel a chill running down their spines!
This fish was over eight meter long. It was also one of the three overlords of this lake. At this point, it had already survived for 200 years!
This Demonic Beast had a strength of Grade 5. Its movement speed in the water was as fast as lightning. With a few swishes of its tail, its speed increased greatly and in the blink of an eye, it'd reached within several tens of meters of Bei Feng!
