Martial God Asura

“The God Clan is too powerful. I don’t want to interfere in their affairs, but I fear Shen Bai is most likely telling the truth,” Chu Feng replied Eggy via voice transmission. 

“What are you waiting for? Let’s find the nearest teleportation formation to the Golden River Upper Realm and save Little Fishy!” Eggy urged.

Chu Feng didn’t answer her question.

The group soon found a teleportation formation in the nearest realm. Long Mucheng and the others returned to the Totem Dragon Clan, but Chu Feng excused himself, saying that he had other matters to attend to.

Chu Feng had always been a busy man, so they bade him farewell without thinking much about it.

“Eggy, let’s first look for Zi Ling,” Chu Feng said.

“What are you saying? We have to rescue Little Fishy right now! Even if Shen Bai was lying, do you think Little Fishy is safe in the hands of someone so dangerous?” Eggy’s anxiety and anger could be heard through her voice.

She was truly concerned about Little Fishy’s safety.

“I don’t think Shen Bai was lying. I could tell Yu’er had something on her mind all this while… and looking back, it must have been about the God Clan. No wonder It felt something was off about her,” Chu Feng said. 

Eggy shared eyes and ears with Chu Feng, which was why she also thought Shen Bai was telling the truth. 

“Why are you hesitating? There’s no reason to look for Zi Ling! Are you hoping your Hidden Dragon Martial sect’s elder can help you? That’s the God Clan! What can you sect elder do when even the Zhao Immortal Clan’s rank three Heavenly God was no match for him?

“We don’t have time to waste. We need to get to Golden River Upper Realm right away to rescue Little Fishy! My heart can only rest at ease after saving her from the clutches of the God Clan,” Eggy urged. 

“Eggy,” Chu Feng suddenly interjected, “I don’t plan on interfering in Yu’er’s affairs.”

“What are you saying, Chu Feng?” Eggy couldn’t believe what she had just heard.

But Chu Feng repeated his point once more, “Let’s not interfere in Yu’er’s affairs this time.”

“Stop spouting nonsense. This is Little Fishy we are talking about! Putting aside your shared history, have you forgotten what she did for you in the Immemorial Massacre Sea? Didn’t you vow to protect her?” Eggy fiercely questioned Chu Feng. 

“I know. I remember everything, but… I haven’t rescued my mother. I can’t die yet,” Chu Feng replied. 

The agitated Eggy suddenly fell silent. Her face stiffened up. She couldn’t believe Chu Feng was saying such words. Even so, she didn’t blame him for his decision.

“Chu Feng, open your World Spirit Space. I can respect your decision, but I watched Little Fishy grow up with my own eyes. You have many important people in your life, but there are only so few people whom I treasure, and Little Fishy is one of them. I can’t turn a blind eye when she is in trouble.”

“Eggy…” Chu Feng tried to dissuade her from her decision.

“Chu Feng, I will respect your decision, so I ask you to respect mine too,” Eggy interjected.

“You are my world spirit. How can you save her when I’m not around? Your strength is restricted when we are too far apart,” Chu Feng stated.

Eggy spent a moment in thought before her eyes hardened with determination. “Let’s dispel our world spirit contract. I know you have the means to pull it off now.”

“Eggy, do you have to go this far? You have said it yourself. Even my Hidden Dragon Martial Sect’s elder is unable to do anything about the God Clan. What difference can I make? What difference can you make?” Chu Feng asked.

“Say no more, Chu Feng. You have never felt so foreign before, but I don’t blame you. I’ll return to re-establish our contact if I manage to rescue Little Fishy,” Eggy said. 

Chu Feng entered his World Spirit Space to confront Eggy, but the latter averted her eyes, not wanting to face him. This was the first time Eggy had reacted like that to him. It left him with a horrible feeling inside, but he didn’t blame her for acting like that. 

He turned to the gate inside his World Spirit Space, where the Asura World Spirit Army dwelled, and asked, “Do you still heed my orders?”

“Milord, we will follow you till our death!”

The Asura World Spirit Army, under the Asura King’s leadership, kneeled to Chu Feng.

“Good. I shall dispel your world spirit contracts with me. I order you to aid Milady Queen in rescuing Little Fishy,” Chu Feng ordered. 

The Asura World Spirit Army accepted the order. 

“I don’t need them. I can go alone.” Eggy disagreed.

“You must go together.” Chu Feng insisted. 

Eggy didn’t want to waste precious time arguing about this, so she caved in, “Whatever floats your boat.”

So, Chu Feng made his way to a discreet location and constructed a formation. Once the formation was complete, he opened his World Spirit Space to let Eggy and the Asura World Spirit Army out.

Chu Feng channeled the power of his World Spirit Space to eject Yu Sha, who was in closed-door training, out too, though he quickly constructed an additional formation to protect her. 

He proceeded to form a hand seal, which manifested a massive sphere in the formation center. 

“The contract dispelling will be painful due to the peculiar nature of my World Spirit Space, and you will have to pay a price for it. I require your full cooperation to dispel the contract; you must not resist at all,” Chu Feng said.

Eggy didn’t say a word. Chu Feng found her cold attitude foreign too.

In contrast, the Asura World Spirit Army answered resoundingly. They would unconditionally fulfill Chu Feng’s orders no matter what he asked of them.

Chu Feng changed his hand seal. The sphere released countless surges of spirit power that seeped into Eggy and the Asura World Spirit Army’s dantian. 

The faces of the Asura World Spirit Army distorted in pain, but Eggy remained impassive. The pain in her heart was greater than anything she felt right now. 

She couldn’t understand why Chu Feng would leave Little Fishy to the lurch when he had put his life on the line many times before to save other friends. She knew that a confrontation with the God Clan was likely to result in his death, but she still found it hard to come to terms with it.

This wasn’t the Chu Feng she knew. He felt so foreign that it pained her heart. 

The process was both painful and long. 

Some time later, Eggy turned to Chu Feng and urged, “Is it not done yet?”

It was then she realized Chu Feng was standing outside the formation, looking at her with a smile. “It’s done.”

Boom!

Countless black pillars rose from the formation, forming a massive cage that trapped Eggy and the Asura World Spirit Army within. 

“Chu Feng, you bastard! You deceived me!” Eggy roared, realizing she had been tricked.

It dawned upon her that Chu Feng intended to rescue Little Fishy, but he wanted to do it alone to not implicate them. 

Having realized the truth, Eggy furiously rushed at Chu Feng, only to be held back by the cage. The cage was so sturdy that she couldn’t faze it, especially since this was a contractual cage constructed specifically for them. 

They had fully cooperated with Chu Feng earlier, thinking he was dispelling their contract. Little did they know that he had imposed a new contract on them that bound them to the cage.

“Do you still find me foreign now?” Chu Feng asked. 

“You bastard! Let me out!” Eggy roared.

But Chu Feng shook his head. 

He changed his hand seal, and the sphere floating in the formation center suddenly opened up like a blossoming flower. A nine-colored lightning crystal sat at the center of the sphere. 

“That is my life stone. If I die, the contract will be automatically dispelled, though the cage will not be lifted right away. This is to prevent you from doing anything reckless. Don’t worry, you will still be freed in due time,” Chu Feng said. 

Seeing Chu Feng had made his mind up, Eggy looked at him with pitiful eyes. 

“Take me with you, Chu Feng. I have means that I have yet to reveal to you. I can help you save Little Fishy.” Eggy looked at Chu Feng pleadingly.

Chu Feng chuckled. “I know you have hidden aces, but I also know they are extremely risky and may endanger your life. I want to save Yu’er, but not at the expense of your life.”

“What nonsense are you spouting? Our lives have been tied together right from the start! We should be fighting alongside each other. What do you mean by this? Are you abandoning me right now?!” Eggy bellowed.  

But Chu Feng shook his head and turned away.

“CHU FENG!!!” Eggy roared. 

Pah!

Chu Feng felt like his heart was going to shatter. He reflexively glanced back, only to see Eggy kneeling in the cage with pleading eyes.

“I’m begging you, Chu Feng. Take me with you.”

Chu Feng couldn’t hold it in anymore. Tears streamed down his eyes. 

Having been through many tribulations and ordeals, he thought that he could control himself regardless of the circumstances. Yet, he couldn’t stop his tears from flowing when he saw Eggy kneeling before him with pleading eyes. 

He quickly turned around, not wanting Eggy to see his tears. He had already made up his mind, and he couldn’t let anything unravel his resolve!

How could he bring Eggy with him when he had zero confidence of returning alive? 

“Eggy, you are the most important person to me. You might curse me for the rest of your life, but I still want you to live on,” Chu Feng said with his back against Eggy.

He rose into the air and left.
