Chapter 2: Ninth Netherworld Method
He was once the Ninth Netherworld Celestial Emperor that stood at the peak of Tianheng Continent. Currently, he was completely calm, he had held the lives of millions of people in the past. Not to mention Ming An was only a Second Order Refiner, he had slaughtered Eighth Order Refiners before; the highest rank a refiner can achieve in Tianheng Continent.
Refiners were also divided from first to ninth orders. Even higher above is the realm of Emperor Order Refiner. This was a rank only heard in ancient legends.
Meanwhile, everyone on both sides of the street were rattled.
“This… this kid is really too stupid. He insulted a refiner.”
“Ah…..no one can help him. He will die, and his family will also be killed and buried alongside his corpse.”
………
“You… you fucking dog, you dare to insult lord Ming An???”
Still kneeling on the ground, when the driver heard the words of Shi Feng, he became very ecstatic. His heart was jumping in happiness since this stupid kid was now taking the ire of lord Ming An. He instantly saw an opportunity to redeem himself.
Ming An’s face was extremely livid in anger, both his fists were clenched in rage. It was as if his spirit and mind had been tainted and desecrated.
“My lord Ming An possess a high status, your skills are unparalleled and your fame scatters far and wide. And this fucking son of a bitch insulted you. I’ll slaughter him for you!!!” The driver lunged into the air while slashing his heavy whip once again towards the head of Shi Feng.
“Ah, heavens! This Hai Family is truly one the four forces of Blue Moon City. Even a horse driver is a warrior.”
“A Two Star Martial Apprentice!!!”
A Martial Apprentice was truly nothing more than an apprentice. Only the common people believe that he is a warrior, but in the eyes of a true Martial Warrior, the driver was nothing.
His body flashed across the street as his whip whistled through the air. The crowd can almost picture out the gruesome bloody ending of Shi Feng.
Although the realm of Warrior Apprentice was just the beginning of the Martial Path, but a full blow from a Two Star Martial Apprentice was not something an ordinary man can contend with.
The people seemed to have forseen the whip crash into Shi Feng’s head, where it exploded and blood mixed with brain matter splattered everywhere.
Only Shi Feng kept a cool and light atmosphere from beginning to end. His body slightly trembled. He mobilized all the power in his body to condense in his right hand and into his finger.
“Puuuu!!!”
A sound like a window being smashed petrified the nervous atmosphere.
A blink before the whip could explode the head of Shi Feng, he raised his right hand. His actions seemed slow, but before the whip could even hit him, his right index finger pierced through the neck of driver.
Did he purposely gave his life away? But this is simply impossible!!! Who will be stupid enough to give his life away?
How could an ordinary youth even kill a Two Star Martial Apprentice with a single finger?
His horse whip was still waving the in the air but his eyes seemed to be extracted out from their sockets. His face was full of shock, panic, unwillingness, anger, “This….this….no!”
He tried to scream as loud as he could, but he failed to do so as Shi Feng pulled out a single finger from his throat. A fountain of red blood flowed to the ground, then the driver’s consciousness receded from his mind like a tidal wave. With his eyes still wide open, his body slumped to the ground, dead.
“Ninth Netherworld (Cultivation) Method! Devour!” Shi Feng shouted in his heart while his hands formed a mysterious finger pattern.
A faint force of death emerged from the driver’s body, and as soon the Nine Netherworld Method operated, it was sucked out from his body.
In Tianheng Continent, there were thousands of martial arts cultivation techniques and methods and most were designed to link warriors with heaven and earth. In order to increase one’s cultivation, one must need to absorb the forces between heaven and earth, or perhaps ingest rare Heavenly Treasures.
The peerless genius, Ninth Netherworld Celestial Emperor, according to legends, created a new cultivation method called the Ninth Netherworld Method, that can swallow the force of death, the force of a baleful yin, or even the force of the soul.
Matters of the soul were very mysterious. Once a person dies, the soul, also called the spirit, will also vanish and scatter. But there were those that possessed powerful souls. or a special soul, that would make the soul survive even after dying.
The force of death was extracted from the corpse of the driver into the Shi Feng. Suddenly, a very comfortable, warm feeling travelled throughout his bpdy, strengthening his flesh, blood, bones, and meridians.
As Shi Feng was dousing on the warm feeling, a white light flickered in his body.
“That white light…..his…..his cultivation advanced into First Star Martial Apprentice, and he became a warrior!” The crowd was stunned once again.
“I know……” One person shouted out aloud, “This youth certainly cultivates a mysteriously strange cultivation method. He probably has cultivated in torment for several years, unable to enter the realm of Martial Apprentice, until now when facing death. That Two Star Martial Apprentice also probably thought the youth was an ordinary person. He didn’t put him in his eyes, didn’t even use a bit of strength.”
As soon as the words came out, the crowd looked at each other, nodding their heads and showing sarcastic faces. This was obviously the case.
As their words fell on Shi Feng’s ear, he just smiled indifferently. He slowly raised his head and looked at the Second Order Refiner Ming An still standing aloof in front of the carriage.
The whole face of Ming An was cold that it seemed frozen. As a noble refiner, a piece of scum audaciously staring at him like this makes him shudder. It was like slapping his face with shit.
“Impudent retard!” Ming An pointed his finger at Shi Feng’s head and screamed, “Get on your knees and dig your eyes out, and I’ll spare your life!”
Shi Feng’s heart burst in laughter. Make me kneel down? I’m afraid no one in the world has that qualification!!!
“I will kneel at your sister!” Shi Feng smiled and shouted. He lifted his right arm, pointed at Ming An’s right leg with his finger, then sprang forwards. It was this move that he used to kill the driver.
“Dog, I dare you!” Ming An flew into a rage. He can’t wait to clutch Shi Feng’s skin and tear his flesh into bits and pieces.
But he didn’t dare to be careless. Although his whole life was focused on the Path of Refining, but he was also a Five Star Martial Apprentice. But he felt, that the technique used by the youth should be an extraordinary skill.
“Hmmph, even if your martial art is profound, you are still a garbage One Star Martial Apprentice. I will make you understand the full strength of a true Martial Apprentice!” Ming An violently screamed. His right hand clenched into a fist that clashed with the single finger of Shi Feng.
The full 500 pounds of force from a fuming Five Star Martial Apprentice clashed with the single finger of a One Star Martial Apprentice. Shi Feng’s finger would undoubtedly be crushed into powder in an instant.
“Hmmmmm, how did that happen?” When both forces were about to collide, Ming An suddenly saw the finger disappear into thin air. Not only did the single finger disappear, Shi Feng’s entire right arm disappeared.
“Boom!”
Ming An slammed his foot to regain footing as the entire carriage swayed.
“Craaaaaaack!”
Then a spine-tingling sound of bones being broken into fragments reverberated in everyone’s ears.
Quiet! The silence was abnormal.
When Shi Feng’s right arm reappeared, his index finger had already pierced through the knees of Ming An. The sound of broken bones just now was the sound of Ming An’s knee bone being fragmented into bits and pieces.
Shi Feng still had an indifferent expression. Netherworld Finger. He knew the punch of a Five Star Martial Apprentice wasn’t something his own measly cultivation could match head on.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh!” Ming An painfully wailed like a pig. Shi Feng ruthlessly pulled out his finger and endless spurts of blood gushed out.
“Hey!!!” Shi Feng whisered. Ming An felt cold sound waves enter his ear. Ming An actually felt that the voice entering his ear was ice-cold. His body seemed to be wrapped in a cold chill, even his strength seemed to have frozen.
“Plop!!!”
His crashed into the ground in pain and lack of strength, kneeling down right in front of Shi Feng.
“Ah….this….how is this possible…”
“The lord Ming An is actually kneeling before him!”
The brain of everyone on the sides of street almost short circuited. Everything from the start to finish was just to incredible to believe. Everything shattered their commonsense.
“Damn you! Damn you! Damn you! I will tear your body limb by limb by five horses” Ming An’s face distorted as he loudly screamed. The pain he felt was even worse than death.
“Too noisy!” Shi Feng coldly whispered. He raised his Netherworld Finger once again and plunged it deep into the chest of the Second Order Refiner, Ming An.
“Aaaaaaah!!!!!!”
The crowd screamed in terrified unison. This youth just killed a Second Order Refiner without even the slightest hesitation.
There may be a way of escaping the wrath of the Hai Family if he just killed the driver.
But killing a refiner, moreover a Second Order Refiner……..
Everyone knew the difficulty of becoming a Second Order Refiner. Even possessing an outstanding talent can not make up to achieve this level. Plus, the numerous resources consumed are not something that an ordinary force can afford.
At the very least, even the Hai Family, which is one of the four powerful families in Blue Moon City can not afford raising one. Even if the four major families work together, it still may be impossible to raise a Second Order Refiner.
In other words, behind every Second Order Refiner is a tremendously, powerful force.
Blue Moon City was about to change!
If he isn’t careful, he would implicate everyone in the whole city in terrifying danger.
The Netherworld Finger drilled a hole through the heart of Ming An. His mouth was agape, and his eyes were wide open. He obviously can not believe what just happened.
A measly One Star Martial Apprentice was no different from an ant in his eyes. With just a single fist, he can kill this fucking brat.
But at the moment, it was the fucking brat who ended his noble life.
His consciousness quickly receded like a tide, and Ming An’s proud head slumped to the ground.
A genius of a generation; a Second Order Refiner has fallen.
At this moment, a white light flashed around Shi Feng’s body, and he advanced another level once again!
“In less than an hour, he killed two people and even his cultivation advanced two levels!”
“But…..I ve never heard anyone advancing right after killing someone.”
“It doesn’t matter, I’m afraid the city will be shrouded in chaos and bloodshed in the next few days.”
The simple minds of these city people can not of course understand the profound mysteries of the Ninth Netherworld Celestial Emperor’s Ninth Netherworld Method. The moment Ming An died, Shi Feng immediately activated the Nine Netherworld Method and sucked out the force of death from the corpse.
immediately, Shi Feng advanced into a Two Star Martial Apprentice. Ming An was a Five Star Martial Apprentice, thus the force of death in his corpse was several times stronger than the driver’s.
