Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Stepping onto the Stairs

Regarding Hou Boss’s assurance, Zhu Fei was noncommittal.

He merely nodded slightly, then as if a thought had suddenly struck him, couldn’t help but ask, "By the way, where did you first hear about me obtaining the Dao Fruit?"

After asking this question, Zhu Fei’s gaze abruptly sharpened, causing Hou Boss, who had just relaxed, to feel his heart violently seized with apprehension.

"Rep... Reporting to Big Brother, that piece of news, I also learned it from someone else. However, rumors say that it seems to be Young Master Ao from Wind God Valley, and Young Master Yan from Bright Moon Sect who spread it. It really has nothing to do with me."

Hou Boss swallowed hard, then continued to say, "Moreover, in that piece of news, besides you, Fairy Xuan Yue and Young Master Mo seemed to be involved as well, allegedly possessing the same Dao Fruit as you."

"It’s just that their identities are extraordinary. Under normal circumstances, not many would dare to target them, and your, well, that’s why..."

At this point, Hou Boss finally dared not continue.

He wasn’t clear on Zhu Fei’s background and was terrified that, should he misspeak, he might offend him once again.

"Heh, it seems that Ao Feng and Yan Xu, those two fellows, have really put a lot of effort into this."

Zhu Fei’s eyes flickered, but his expression became increasingly icy.

He had decided that if he encountered Ao Feng and Yan Xu again next time, he definitely would not let them go. Did they really think he was incapable of killing them if they schemed against him like this?

With this thought, Zhu Fei had already collected his emotions and turned to Shui Biyun next to him:

"Biyun, if there’s nothing else, shall we go over there and have a look now?"

Shui Biyun obviously knew the place Zhu Fei was referring to and smiled and nodded in response, "Okay, I’ll have to trouble Brother Zhu then."

"Hehe, no need to be polite."

Zhu Fei said with a smile, shaking his head slightly. After speaking, he led Shui Biyun with Hou Boss guiding them directly towards the supposed invisible stairway.

...

About half a day later, under the personal guidance of Hou Boss, Zhu Fei and Shui Biyun arrived beside a spacious mountainside.

Pointing to the void ahead, Hou Boss turned his head and ingratiatingly said to Zhu Fei, "Big Brother, according to my previous memory, that space is the invisible stairway I talked about."

After a short pause, Hou Boss continued to say, "As long as you, Big Brother, step on it, real steps will appear in the void, with each step you take, another one will emerge out of thin air."

"Oh, is that so?"

Zhu Fei looked at Hou Boss with a somewhat teasing expression, his face full of amusement.

Hou Boss’s gaze flickered, but he still forced a smile on the surface, "Correct, if you don’t believe me, Big Brother, I can personally demonstrate for you."

"Heh, no need for a demonstration."

Zhu Fei’s smile suddenly vanished, and his eyes revealed a deadly intent as he said, "Initially, if you had been honest, I might have actually spared your life. But you shouldn’t have tried to be cunning in front of me. What, did you think I couldn’t see right through that Killing Array we’ve passed?"

Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Hou Boss was instantly filled with terror. He then showed a fierce look in his eyes and, without wasting another word, flew towards the void in front of him!

"Hmph! Ignorant fool! Thinking you can still run now? It’s too late!"

Zhu Fei’s eyes turned cold as he suddenly clapped his hands together with force.

The next second, Brother Zhu saw Hou Boss, who had already pounced toward the void in front of him, suddenly let out a scream!

What was once calm and still space suddenly filled with countless black pillars of destruction. In just an instant, those black pillars had riddled Hou Boss’s body with innumerable holes!

Watching this scene, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but curl his lips into a disdainful sneer, addressing Hou Boss, who now had only his Primordial Spirit remaining, "Your biggest mistake was trying to use arrays against me, let alone thinking you could deal with me by using the Killing Array that had been set up here earlier. Heh, it’s just too stupid."

"Aaaaah...!"

Hou Boss’s teeth were about to shatter from clenched frustration, and he kept uttering extremely tragic screams, his eyes brimming with fear and regret.

But Zhu Fei paid no more attention to Hou Boss’s desperate pleas and simply flicked his finger.

With a "hum", the already violent and formidable black pillars of destruction instantly swelled again, relentlessly striking against Hou Boss’s Primordial Spirit.

In no time at all, Hou Boss’s Primordial Spirit was obliterated by those black pillars, reduced to nothingness!

After killing Hou Boss, Zhu Fei put away his storage ring and a black Array Plate flew into his hands from the void ahead.

Having examined the black Array Plate briefly, Zhu Fei then tossed it to Shui Biyun beside him.

"Biyun, this Level 6 Killing Array Plate is for you. While it’s of no use to me, it still holds some value for you."

"Uh..."

Shui Biyun held the Level 6 Killing Array Plate, momentarily dumbfounded.

However, she soon came to her senses and without any more politeness with Zhu Fei, she casually put away the Killing Array Plate.

On their journey, Shui Biyun had come to know something about Zhu Fei’s character and knew that it was best not to refuse things he offered.

"Zhu... Brother Zhu, was what you said earlier about the path to the third layer untrue?" she asked, her tone tinged with slight disappointment as she looked at the space ahead.

Zhu Fei was startled at first, then he understood, and couldn’t help but laugh with self-mockery, "Biyun, who told you that was false?"

"But just now...?" Shui Biyun was somewhat puzzled, inevitably inquiring as she looked at Zhu Fei.

With a slight smile, Zhu Fei said, "It’s nothing. What happened just now was merely a move prepared earlier by Hou Boss and his people; it has no direct connection to the Invisible Staircase."

With that, Zhu Fei stopped explaining and stepped forward.

At the next moment, Shui Biyun was amazed to find that when Zhu Fei stepped forward, the space that was previously empty suddenly rippled with waves.

Immediately after the ripples spread, in just a moment, a white stairway appeared!

This...? Shui Biyun was shocked in her heart, but Zhu Fei, standing on the stairway, clearly felt a very strong shockwave that penetrated directly through his flesh and rushed into his Primordial Spirit!

The shockwave seemed clearly intent on scattering his, Zhu Fei’s, Primordial Spirit!

So that’s how it is, interesting, truly interesting.

A smile appeared on Zhu Fei’s lips, and without using any Divine Soul Secret Skill, he simply operated the Five Elements Creation and Transformation Skill.

The next moment, the five Primordial Spirits within him vibrated slightly, and the shockwave that was attempting to destroy his Primordial Spirit was thus effortlessly nullified by Zhu Fei into nothingness!
