Chapter 414: Deterrence
Inside the Di Xin Restaurant, Ye Feng, who was happily reuniting with Long Tian, suddenly frowned. He could sense a group of hostile individuals approaching the restaurant.
Long Tian and Pearl also quickly noticed it.
“Three hundred experts at the ultimate level have arrived, six at the semi-god level, and two at the god level as well. Those who haven’t shown up are probably here to watch the show or hiding in the shadows, waiting to launch a surprise attack,” Ye Feng said, a killing intent flashing in his eyes.
“I didn’t expect so many to come this time…” Long Tian clenched his fists and looked at Ye Feng. “You guys go first. I’ll deal with these troubles here first before catching up with you.”
“Brother…” Long Yue looked at Ye Feng anxiously. She knew very well that no matter how strong Long Tian was, he couldn’t handle such a large number of people alone.
“They’ve brought so many experts at the ultimate level to set up a formation,” Ye Feng saw through their plans at a glance. “With such a massive formation, once they complete it, even gods might not survive.”
“In that case, we can only flee,” Pearl said helplessly, looking at Ye Feng to see if he had any other solutions.
“There’s no need to flee. They’ve already set it up since they started moving. It’s too late now,” Ye Feng shook his head. “Let me handle this.”
“You’re only at the god level…” Long Tian tried to stop Ye Feng. “It’s my problem—I should resolve it myself!”
“Don’t worry. When have I ever done something I wasn’t confident about?” Ye Feng patted Long Tian’s shoulder. “I have a way to make them leave peacefully and never dare to cause trouble again.”
Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Long Tian finally relaxed. He shook his head at Ye Feng’s back—once a naive college student, he had now grown into a reliable person.
“Someone’s coming out…” someone in the crowd shouted.
Ye Feng stepped out of the restaurant and looked in a certain direction. “Since you’re here, stop hiding. Come out all at once!”
The onlookers were stunned as they saw a huge group suddenly appearing in the sky, surrounding the restaurant completely. Clearly, they had used some method to conceal themselves from everyone’s sight earlier.
“You’re not the one we’re looking for. Send out that God Killer and surrender peacefully,” shouted a semi-god-level expert in the sky.
Ye Feng glanced at that person, and a fierce killing intent surged from him, darkening the sky instantly.
Waves of terrifying pressure emanated from Ye Feng, making everyone present feel an overwhelming sense of murderous intent. It was like encountering a tsunami in the icy sea during the depths of winter, with one’s own small boat barely able to hold back the waves, ready to be swallowed at any moment.
“What a terrifying guy. How many people does he have to kill to possess such murderous intent?” Only a few divine-level powerhouses still had the strength to express their shock.
In truth, there is no inherent connection between murderous intent and cultivation level. Murderous intent is accumulated through killing, while cultivation is achieved through practice. However, a high cultivation level can enhance one’s aura and amplify the power of murderous intent. At a certain level, it is even possible to condense murderous intent into a tangible form for attack.
No one could imagine that Ye Feng had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of magical beasts in the secret realm before. Although he hadn’t taken direct action, even just a trace of murderous intent from each beast would add up to an astonishing amount.
Seeing some of the onlookers faint from the pressure, Ye Feng slowly retracted his murderous intent and glanced indifferently at the more than 300 people surrounding him, ready to attack. “Leave this place. Don’t bother the God of Death again.”
“Or else…” Ye Feng clenched his right fist and suddenly swung it to the side. Where there had been nothing before, a piece of transparent glass seemed to appear. The glass was covered in scars, as if struck by heavy objects. Anyone with even a basic understanding could see that there was no glass at all—just space cracks created by force. Strangely, these cracks, which usually healed in just a few breaths, failed to close for a long time.
“What a powerful guy…” Two divine-level powerhouses couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
At that moment, a voice exclaimed, “It’s Blade Edge!”
The crowd immediately fell silent. Everyone present clearly remembered the man from ten years ago, but they never expected Blade Edge to appear in such a place. Moreover, there had been many impostors pretending to be Blade Edge over the years, leading them to assume this man was also pretending. But unexpectedly, this was the real deal.
Ye Feng looked in the direction of the voice. It belonged to a semi-divine-level powerhouse. He neither denied nor confirmed it. “I’ll say it once more—leave this place. Don’t bother the God of Death again!”
“Blade, do you think you can keep all the treasures obtained from the secret realm by yourself?” demanded a god-tier powerhouse. “You should know that the news of him getting those treasures has spread throughout the entire Demon Realm. Almost everyone in the Demon Realm knows about it. Even if we leave today, others will come to trouble you tomorrow, and more the day after that…”
“We know there aren’t many in the Demon Realm who can match you, but with arrays, we can still bring you down. Even if you reach the level of a True God, you will still be killed.”
“I know such large arrays can bring down True God-level powerhouses. I also admit that I am at the True God level,” Ye Feng said, pausing for a moment before a slight smile appeared on his lips. “But I’m also curious—can your arrays kill a peak Main God-level powerhouse?”
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, a blue giant dragon appeared above him, circling endlessly. The strong wind generated by its wings blew many onlookers away.
With the pressure of a Main God-level being, almost all the onlookers felt as though the air had thickened—not only were their movements restricted, but even breathing became difficult.
In the sky, only those few god-tier powerhouses were still holding on.
“Get lost! I don’t want to see you again!” As soon as Ye Feng spoke, everyone felt as if their bodies had suddenly been freed. Those god-tier powerhouses left in shame, taking their followers with them.
“Stay outside this tavern. Kill anyone who dares to disturb us!” Ye Feng shouted at the blue giant dragon in the sky.
The dragon circled a few times before landing and nodding at Ye Feng. “As you command, my master!”
Ye Feng turned and entered the tavern.
The blue dragon then shrank to the size of the tavern, lay down at its entrance, closed its eyes, and began to wag its tail happily and rhythmically…
“Is there any justice left? To raise a peak Main God-level dragon as a pet…” Weak voices of protest came from the crowd…
The dragon opened its eyes and glanced in the direction of the voice, causing it to stop instantly.
