King of Gods Chapter 1410 - Sneak Attack in the Night

Chapter 1410 – Sneak Attack in the Night

“Zhao Feng, tell me, how did all of you manage to resolve the crisis last night and push back the enemy?” Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance focused his gaze on Zhao Feng and immediately asked.

Defeat was clearly inevitable last night, and when he, the commander-in-chief, ran away, the Celestial Net Sect’s doom should have been even more certain. But the result was completely unexpected; not only did the Celestial Net Sect survive, it even defeated the Blazing Gold Race, and he heard that the Blazing Gold Race had suffered gruesome losses.

The Celestial Net Sect members who saw this sight couldn’t help but quietly chuckle.

When Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance and his son fled, the one who saved the Celestial Net Sect was naturally Zhao Feng. The fact that they still had the face to come back was admirable enough, but now, they were even questioning Zhao Feng?

“Last night, Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance, when you went to ‘get reinforcements,’ the Blazing Gold Race let down their guard. While the peak Rank Eight Ancient G.o.d was being careless, I made a sneak attack and killed him,” Zhao Feng said.

Strange looks appeared on the faces of the Celestial Net Sect members. There was nothing wrong with Zhao Feng’s explanation, but it almost sounded like he was praising Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance.

But this sort of praise only made Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance feel even more ashamed.

“You killed that peak Rank Eight Ancient G.o.d?” But Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance was more concerned about the last part, and he stared at Zhao Feng in shock.

Although he had seen Zhao Feng attack once last night and found Zhao Feng to have decent strength, killing a peak Rank Eight was completely unexpected.

Ancient G.o.d Ice Origin was even more shocked. Zhao Feng was capable of killing a peak Rank Eight?

“Right. Once Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance left, that giant man didn’t hold me in any regard, leading to such a result. Moreover, the members of the Celestial Net Sect put up a vigorous resistance to contend with the Blazing Gold Race. In the end, by relying on the sect-protecting array and the terrain, we were able to unite and kill Ancient G.o.d Darkcrow!” Zhao Feng added.

Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance dubiously accepted the first half, but when he heard that Ancient G.o.d Darkcrow had been killed, he was left dumbfounded.

“How could that be? It was all because Zhao Feng was so courageous and worked to reverse the tides!” the Celestial Net Sect Master immediately smiled and said.

Zhao Feng had done his utmost to minimize his contribution in his explanation and praise them. The upper echelon members of the Celestial Net Sect found themselves rather embarra.s.sed by all this praise.

All levels of the Celestial Net Sect developed an even better impression of Zhao Feng. He was strong, conscientious, responsible, and modest. Comparing him to Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance and his son was like comparing the heavens to the earth.

“Ancient G.o.d Darkcrow is dead?” Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance and his son were frozen to the spot, their minds blank.

There’s something fishy going on here! Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance’s expression dimmed.

How could a mighty Rank Nine Ancient G.o.d fall in a place like this? He guessed that Ancient G.o.d Darkcrow had not died and had actually fled while heavily injured or that reinforcements from the Spiritual Race had arrived and saved the Celestial Net Sect, but the Celestial Net Sect was unhappy over how he fled and made up these lies to intentionally infuriate him.

Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance had suffered a heavy blow, and he had lost the trust of the Celestial Net Sect. Even if he continued to ask questions, he wouldn’t learn very much. Even worse was that the Celestial Net Sect seemed to have developed an excellent relations.h.i.+p with Zhao Feng.

This kid… isn’t simple! Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance stared at Zhao Feng and pondered.

Someone who could kill a peak Rank Eight Ancient G.o.d would have around the strength of an ordinary Rank Nine Ancient G.o.d. Moreover, he sensed that Zhao Feng had played an important role in turning the situation at the Celestial Net Sect from a defeat into a victory.

But Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance was still the commander of this place and Zhao Feng still needed to follow his orders.

“It’s fine as long as everyone is okay. I will continue to command everyone in protecting the Celestial Net Sect, slaying the Blazing Gold Race, and making our names known throughout the Ziling Zone!” Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance loudly proclaimed.

Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance then brought Ancient G.o.d Ice Origin back into the Celestial Net Sect.

Inside their room:

“Father, why did we need to come back?” Ancient G.o.d Ice Origin felt utterly humiliated.

He was a genius of the Spiritual Race, and he had never done anything so shameful as fleeing in the middle of a battle and then having the nerve to come back.

“If the Celestial Net Sect had been destroyed, we would have just been considered as lucky survivors, but since the Celestial Net Sect is fine, if the matter of us fleeing in the middle of battle spread back to the Spiritual Race, we wouldn’t have the face to see anyone in the future. I’ve come back so that I can have this matter suppressed,” Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance immediately called out.

Ancient G.o.d Ice Origin nodded. His father was right. Right now, they were only ashamed in front of the Celestial Net Sect, but if they were humiliated in front of the entire Spiritual Race, his reputation would be in complete shambles.

“In addition, with this failed attack, the Blazing Gold Race definitely won’t attack again for the time being. By coming back, we can rest easy while still obtaining many contribution points.” Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance put on a crafty smile.

“Father is right!” Ancient G.o.d Ice Origin also smiled.

As members of the Spiritual Race, they only needed to guard important factions or strongholds to obtain contribution points. If they had the time, they could go to the aid of nearby factions and kill a few foes to gain even more contribution points.

Outside:

“Brother Zhao, why didn’t you tell the truth? I think that you’re more suitable for the position of commander!” the Celestial Net Sect Master whispered.

The miraculous victory from last night had made the Celestial Net Sect Master momentarily forget his unhappiness, but he hadn’t expected for Ancient G.o.d Blue Distance and his son to so shamelessly return.

Although Zhao Feng was young, he was powerful, responsible, and modest. He was confident that no one would object if Zhao Feng was made commander.

“I don’t like being commander. It’s too troublesome.” Zhao Feng chuckled before heading back into his palace.

He cared little for these achievements or benefits, so he couldn’t be bothered to a.s.sume such duties. He just wanted to stay on the battlefield and hone himself while gradually revealing his true cultivation.

“This person is truly open-minded and concerned about the overarching situation. If the Spiritual Race was to have an internal squabble while in the middle of this war…” The Celestial Net Sect looked at Zhao Feng’s back, feeling somewhat ashamed.

Upon entering his residence, Zhao Feng entered the s.p.a.cetime Robe.

At this time, Zhao w.a.n.g, Zhao Kong, and the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon were all cultivating within. Zhao Kong had long ago reached Rank Nine and had also smoothly taken control over that powerful pair of Eyes of s.p.a.cetime.

Zhao Feng also seated himself cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate.

Firstly, he split off a part of his mind to cultivate s.p.a.cetime Intent and Five Elements Intent. For every little bit stronger these Intents became, Zhao Feng’s Chaos Origin Divine Power would also get that much stronger.

After taking so many extremely precious Time resources, Zhao Feng had greatly boosted his ability to comprehend Time Intent. This, together with the help of the Ancestral Artifact fragment, meant that Zhao Feng comprehended Time Intent the fastest, and it had already reached the peak of Level Seven.

And Zhao Feng’s s.p.a.ce Intent was on the verge of reaching the peak of Level Eight, only requiring just a little longer.

Zhao Feng was in no rush. He preferred to take things step by step so that his foundations were firm.

Besides his strength, Zhao Feng also focused on his soul. The advantages conferred by the G.o.d’s Spiritual Eye allowed Zhao Feng’s soul to strengthen at a much faster rate than the ordinary person. His soul was his greatest advantage.

“My Soul Intent has already reached peak Rank Nine. If I get it a little higher, it will be even easier to deal with half-step G.o.d Lords!” Zhao Feng found himself rather antic.i.p.ating this development.

After taking several Lightning Soul Crystals, he began to refine his soul and increase the Lightning energy in his Lightning Soul Body.

Thirty days pa.s.sed within the s.p.a.cetime Robe, during which Zhao Feng completely absorbed the energy within the Lightning Soul Crystals and a portion of his soul cultivation resources.

After that, Zhao Feng set his sights on another combat skill in the fourth level of the Chaos Heaven Void Origin Technique: the Chaos Heaven Void Ring.

In contrast to the Chaos Origin Divine Sword, the Chaos Heaven Void Ring was a defensive skill. The Chaos Heaven Void Ring had another trait besides its defensive in that its devouring effect was even stronger. It could devour all the energy converging onto it and use it to strengthen itself.

“This Chaos Heaven Void Ring is more suited for group battles. I can instantly absorb the energy of the surrounding attacks and use it to strengthen the Chaos Origin Divine Sword so I can give my foes a fatal strike!”

Moreover, battles during a war were more chaotic, and Zhao Feng had long ago ceased to have the advantage of a st.u.r.dy physical body. This made cultivating the Chaos Heaven Void Ring an extremely appropriate choice for his situation.

With this idea in mind, Zhao Feng began to cultivate.

Several days pa.s.sed in the s.p.a.cetime Robe.

A chaotic barrier of turbid silver energy appeared around Zhao Feng, suffused with a devouring forcefield that absorbed the energy of the world around him.

Buzz! Bzzz!

This dark silver barrier appeared to become even more solid.

“Not bad! It can absorb other energies to strengthen its defenses.”

The time ratio in the s.p.a.cetime Robe was now 50 to 1. Two days pa.s.sed in the outside world, which was one hundred days in the s.p.a.cetime Robe.

On the night of the second day:

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

Several incredibly well-hidden energies entered the Celestial Net Sect.

“Our intelligence reports indicate that, after Zhao Feng entered the war zone, he went to the Celestial Net Sect.”

“Do we need to be so sneaky? Why not just attack the place and seize Zhao Feng?”

Four blurry figures appeared in the air. Their four auras were so well-hidden that they seemed to be one with the darkness and the air, practically unnoticeable.

Powerful Divine Senses from the Celestial Net Sect would occasionally sweep by, but they failed to notice them.

“I heard that the Blazing Gold Race dispatched a Rank Nine Ancient G.o.d to attack this place, but the Celestial Net Sect is still here, meaning that the Rank Nine Ancient G.o.d failed. Thus, this Celestial Net Sect is somewhat difficult to deal with,” an emaciated old man, his body as pitch-black as a shadow, said.

“That’s right. The order given to us by Ancient G.o.d Iceflame was only to capture Zhao Feng. There’s no need to make things complicated,” a tall and bulky man said, his eyes cold and vicious. Although he was suppressing it, there were still ghostly flames rising from his body.

Ancient G.o.d Darkcrow’s attempt to take the Celestial Net Sect had happened only a few days ago and had not fully spread. Only an extremely small number of people knew the full details of that battle.

This group of people had come on Ancient G.o.d Iceflame’s order. They had set off immediately after learning Zhao Feng’s location.

“I’ve found the kid! I’ll make a sneak attack, and then the rest of you should immediately move to suppress him, and then we’ll run,” the elder said, taking up the position at the very front.

All of them had complete faith in the methods of this Ancient G.o.d Shadow Death. Ancient G.o.d Shadow Death was a Rank Nine Ancient G.o.d who Ancient G.o.d Iceflame had become acquainted with in her travels. He was skilled in pursuit and a.s.sa.s.sination.

It was rumored that the blood of the 18th ranked Shadow Race flowed in the veins of Ancient G.o.d Shadow Death. Although it was a rather thin bloodline, it was enough for him to freely travel in darkness and kill without leaving a trace.

Thwis.h.!.+

The group silently approached Zhao Feng’s residence.

“Get ready!” Ancient G.o.d Shadow Death called out, and then he transformed into a shadowy stream that attacked the air to force Zhao Feng to come out.

Swis.h.!.+

Before Ancient G.o.d Shadow Death could even attack, a straight-backed silver-haired youth suddenly appeared in the palace, a nonchalant look on his face. “Were all of you dawdling around for so long because you were looking for this Zhao?”
