Midnight, around three in the morning.
Chu Feng slowly stood up from between Ah Yin and Zhu Zhuqing, preparing to go to the bathroom.
In the past few hours, Chu Feng had still maintained his gentlemanly conduct; he had only gone all the way with Ah Yin, but not with Zhu Zhuqing.
After all, taking advantage of someone while they were healing wasn't right, and he didn't plan on defining his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing just yet.
Bang!
Suddenly, there seemed to be some movement outside. Chu Feng looked out through the window.
At this moment, the moonlight was bright, accompanied by a slight breeze; the atmosphere was quite nice.
Unfortunately, such a good time couldn't be enjoyed any longer; someone had come looking for trouble.
Unsurprisingly, it was likely the same group associated with Zhu Zhuyun, but the difference was that their strength was far more formidable.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to rescue Zhu Zhuyun right under Chu Feng's nose, but in reality, this was a chance to live that Chu Feng had given them.
However, these fellows with their heavy aristocratic mindset would never be rational; they had already started making a move on the hotel.
Exactly, it was the same old trick: using fire to achieve their goal.
But before the torches could even be lit, just as they showed their heads in the darkness, Chu Feng stood directly in front of them.
Then, with a simple crack of his knuckles, the group fell into a pool of blood.
The combat power of the Allied Forces was indeed vulnerable, but Chu Feng hadn't taken them seriously to begin with.
The most important thing was their leader; that dense, Demonic Aura of his smelled like aged, stinking algae fished out of a sewer.
"Speak, who is it?"
Chu Feng randomly found a guy with only one breath left and asked.
Blood frothed at the corners of the man's mouth, making his speech unclear, but Chu Feng already understood.
"Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo?"
When Chu Feng mentioned this name, he became slightly interested.
After all, Dugu Bo was world-renowned for his poison, and his deterrent power was among the top tier of the former Titled Douluo; he likely gained quite a few advantages after the descent of spiritual energy.
His appearance here was within reason, as in the original work, he was thick as thieves with Tang San.
"How dare you call our Vanguard General by his name? This is insubordination."
It was Dugu Bo's personal guards shouting; they didn't seem fearful at all despite the losses the Allied Forces had suffered.
Furthermore, their spirit power levels were indeed quite high, all around Level 110, and they all possessed unorthodox Beast Spirits.
This also indicated that the power system Chu Feng had previously established was breaking down; the changes brought about by Taoist techniques exceeded his original imagination.
Of course, for now, Chu Feng only needed to consider how to deal with these nuisances; he would definitely hold them accountable for disturbing his sleep.
"You have killed more than twenty people from our Allied Forces; this is a capital offense. You had better surrender quietly."
Someone continued to shout in the distant darkness, speaking in clichés that were utterly uninteresting.
Chu Feng replied calmly, "If you want to die, stop talking nonsense. I'll say it again: disclose the purpose of the Allied Forces, and I can let you die more comfortably."
Obviously, saying this was useless, so after finishing, he walked toward the alley on the east side of the town.
At the same time, he channeled his Primordial Chaos Aura to protect the Rose Hotel; he still had to go back to sleep after finishing this.
"He's coming, he's coming!"
The faint sounds were like the rustling of mice; Chu Feng heard their conspiracy clearly.
Needless to say, there was definitely a trap beneath Chu Feng's feet, though he had entered it voluntarily.
"Poison?"
Chu Feng knew it would be poison; immediately after, his lower body was drenched in a cloud of green mist.
Based on his perception, this poison was mixed with a bit of demonic energy; it wasn't something that could be formed by ordinary spirit power.
To be more precise, once this poison penetrated the surface, it would start devouring blood like a snake and infect the entire body, eventually causing it to explode.
However, Chu Feng smiled coldly. "Can your poison break through my Immortal Astral Qi?"
"Why not? Everyone, increase the intensity!"
Several sturdy young men with black hoods jumped out, each summoning their Spirit, all of which were extremely poisonous creatures.
Cobra, Datura, Crystal Orchid... these Spirits could release massive amounts of toxins, and their spread was even enough to corrode thick brick walls.
Then, the air was instantly filled with a bloody scent; this had nothing to do with Chu Feng but came from the nearby innocent civilians.
"Is he dead?"
Someone asked tentatively because they saw Chu Feng standing there stiffly without moving much.
"Asking me? You'd better worry about yourselves first."
Chu Feng suddenly moved, and then he raised a sheet of fire, burning these pieces of trash alive.
Then, Dugu Bo charged out; having observed for so long, he finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Jade Phosphor Serpent, Triple Absolute Poison Technique!"
Dugu Bo pressed his hand to the ground, and several small snakes slithered in all directions with him as the center.
Instantly, the toxicity within a hundred-meter radius increased several times over, seemingly even capable of weakening divinity.
"I can see that your poison is indeed extraordinary."
Chu Feng showed a hint of appreciation; there were very few people who could even slightly affect his aura, and Dugu Bo did have some skill.
But in essence, he said this entirely because he wanted to fish for information.
Dugu Bo then replied, "Hmph, I know you're not ordinary either. For this, I specifically cultivated for several days, severing several meridians in my body so the poison could more perfectly permeate my internal organs, and I've supplemented it with the God Realm Spiritual Water bestowed upon me by God King Tang to increase its effect, specifically to deal with you."
No wonder Dugu Bo was so confident the moment he appeared; he had come prepared.
Furthermore, he had already established a quite deep 'friendship' with Tang San, and he seemed particularly proud of it.
Chu Feng continued to smile and replied, "So what? Could it be that the formation of the Allied Forces was also aimed at me? Since when did I become such a thorn in your side?"
"Hmph, you are not yet qualified to be a target of God King Tang's attention; he has far more profound considerations than someone like you could ever imagine."
Since Dugu Bo said that, Chu Feng understood; the establishment of the Allied Forces was likely just a front.
So Chu Feng said, "Very well, in that case, I can deal with you easily. Now I'm curious if the God King Tang you speak of will value you."
There was a hint of flippancy in Chu Feng's tone.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo retorted, knowing it was a mockery, and roared, "You're practically a dead man; where do you get the nerve to speak so arrogantly to this old man?"
"Do you know who I am? You've become the vanguard of the Allied Forces, yet you don't know a single thing about me?"
As Chu Feng spoke, a rosy glow began to flow over his body. Although it was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, Chu Feng wanted to leave a 'good impression' on Tang San.
"You... you couldn't be, impossible."
Dugu Bo's incredibly surprised expression said it all; he didn't recognize Chu Feng, but he might have heard certain rumors, so he found it hard to believe the subject of those rumors was right before his eyes.
