Peerless Martial God 2 Chapter 1736: Human Protector?
Previously on Peerless Martial God 2...
Upon Lin Feng’s arrival, a shocking sight unfolded before him – a scene drenched in blood! Those despicable beasts!
Corpses lay scattered across an expanse of thousands of meters. Some unfortunate souls were reduced to nothing but gleaming bones, their flesh entirely stripped away. Dismembered remains were a common sight, and the ground was awash in crimson. The stench was utterly putrid!
Yet, amidst this carnage, the beasts erupted in ferocious, gleeful roars, celebrating their gruesome triumph! Lin Feng’s fury ignited.
More and more slaves were brutally slaughtered, weak humans falling victim to the beasts’ savage onslaught, their terror palpable.
A few of the stronger humans wore expressions of deep worry and sorrow, for the ones being massacred were the young geniuses of their race. Even with the cultivation levels of ordinary Godly Ancestor or Spiritual Godly Ancestor, they were no match for these beasts!
The atmosphere grew somber, a consequence of so many lives extinguished. Fear gripped the humans, compelling them to retreat further from the beasts. Those possessing the might of the Earthly Godly Ancestor layer wore grim visages but remained in stoic silence.
In this world, humans were deemed insignificant. The beasts relegated them to the status of scum, the lowest dregs of the universe.
The more powerful humans regarded the helpless slaves with chilling indifference. Many of the gifted youths felt a profound sense of disappointment. Gradually, the tension eased.
Lin Feng moved unnoticed through the throng. Concealed by his Asura Mask, his identity as human or beast remained ambiguous. He subtly released his Qi, a signal for the beasts to maintain distance, preventing any unwelcome proximity.
“Halt! That is the Man Huang Field ahead!” commanded two imposing figures. Resembling tigers, they possessed the might of the Spiritual Godly Ancestor layer and served as Godly Envoys within the Godly Temple.
Access to the Man Huang Field was restricted to Godly Envoys of the Spiritual Godly Ancestor layer. Thus, they intercepted Lin Feng, his Qi distinct, yet lacking the credentials of an Envoy or a Godly King.
Lin Feng cast a fleeting glance at them. He remained silent, then produced a talisman belonging to Godly King Taotie, tossing it towards them. Their reluctance to catch it was evident, but upon its descent and their inspection, cold sweat instantly beaded on their brows.
“You… You are a Godly King!” The tigers’ eyes widened in shock, nearly leaping from their sockets. They dared not meet Lin Feng’s gaze, averting their faces.
Lin Feng disregarded their terror, retrieved his talisman, and proceeded onward.
The two tigers were paralyzed with fear, their legs trembling uncontrollably. A Godly King? They exchanged a look, exhaling with resigned sighs.
Their startled exclamations drew the attention of others, who then observed the masked figure. Recognizing him as a Godly King, they wisely chose not to provoke him and instead cleared a path.
Lin Feng reached the precipice of the Man Huang Field, surveying the assembled humans. Both men and women felt an palpable pressure, and some young cultivators displayed visible despair.
Could this be a new Godly King? Was another massacre about to commence?
Lin Feng’s gaze lingered on them before he turned his attention to the four imposing figures dominating the platform. They were Godly Kings, one of whom was human.
Without a word, Lin Feng beckoned with his index finger, gesturing towards the human Godly King. “You, come here!” he declared with casual indifference.
Suddenly, the entire crowd stared at Lin Feng as if he had lost his mind. What was this new Godly King attempting? Was he intent on provoking a first-class cultivator?
The human Godly King’s face flushed with anger. After all, he was also a Godly King. The audacity of an unknown Godly King challenging him was an unbearable humiliation! He remained rooted to his spot.
Lin Feng’s gaze sharpened, and he displayed three fingers. “I will count to three. If you do not come, I will come to you!” he stated slowly.
A collective gasp arose.
How utterly audacious! They had never encountered a cultivator so arrogant, conversing with a renowned Godly King… and issuing threats!
The man’s expression turned grim, yet he stood unmoving. Lin Feng showed two fingers, then one, before clenching his fist. In an instant, he vanished, reappearing three meters from the man.
The man recoiled in surprise, astonished by the cultivator’s incredible speed! With no time to react, he unleashed a flurry of punches and spewed forth Qi.
However, it was no match for Lin Feng. He unleashed an Aggressive Punch, his power immense and terrifying. The human Godly King was sent flying, spitting up blood multiple times.
With a resounding *bam*! he slammed into the ground, leaving a crater a meter deep.
The onlookers were stunned into silence, their eyes fixed upon him. Some humans felt a surge of joy; that man had shown no concern for them, abandoning his own kin. His defeat brought them elation!
The injured human cultivator staggered to his feet, clutching his chest and coughing violently. He finally understood his inferiority in the face of this new Godly King.
“Who are you? Are you a powerful cultivator from the Beast Clan?” the man inquired, attempting to curry favor with Lin Feng. The surrounding humans looked upon him with even greater disdain. Yet, the man seemed unfazed, even offering a conciliatory smile.
All eyes, both human and beast, now turned toward Lin Feng.
A few of the young human geniuses let out sighs of apprehension, dreading Lin Feng’s response.
Lin Feng was aware that everyone present desired favorable tidings, but as he was not affiliated with the Beast Clan, his presence only served to disappoint the beasts.
He then turned his gaze towards the humans, a smile gracing his lips. A wave of elation swept through the human contingent and their promising young talents; hope had been rekindled within their hearts!
“You are human?” a courageous young prodigy exclaimed. However, the elder from his clan hastily pulled him back, fearing Lin Feng might target him.
Yet, Lin Feng harbored no ill intent. With a placid smile, he nodded slowly and affirmed, “Indeed. I am human!”
“Phew…” As anticipated, the humans erupted in shared joy, their eyes shining with renewed optimism. His prowess was undeniable; a single blow had been sufficient to shatter that cultivator!
He had vanquished that human purely to humiliate the beasts!
Precisely as expected, upon hearing Lin Feng’s declaration, the three beasts occupying the stage rose in fury. One of them slammed his fist onto the table, bellowing in rage, “Declare your origin, you accursed slave! If you dare instigate trouble here, we shall annihilate you!”
His formidable voice seemed to reverberate through the very fabric of existence, causing all humans to turn ashen, their hearts pounding erratically. A few of the feebler individuals succumbed and perished on the spot.
Lin Feng remained unfazed, giving the outburst no heed.
“You lack the courage to retaliate. You are all cowards,” Lin Feng stated to the humans. Faced with his blunt assessment, they all lowered their heads, a palpable sense of shame washing over them.
Even more cadavers began to litter the stage, stark testaments to the pervasive weakness of the human delegation.
Lin Feng understood their internal struggles, and though he imparted a harsh truth, he did not condemn them. His words merely reflected reality. Having endured a lifetime of hardship, maintaining one’s resolve became an arduous task.
“Hmph! Perish!” a colossal beast roared. His visage contorted with rage as he unleashed a savage war cry, followed by a devastating punch. Waves of Qi surged outwards, sending thousands of onlookers scattering.
While the periphery was injured by the shockwaves, the core destructive force hurtled directly towards Lin Feng’s rear.
Lin Feng’s expression remained unchanged. Internally, however, a fire ignited within him, particularly at this act of a surprise assault. He pivoted with astonishing speed and retaliated with a punch!
Phwap!
A sickening splash of blood followed. The beast’s body disintegrated, and his very soul was obliterated!
Instantly, an unnerving silence descended. No one dared utter a single word!
