After merely half a day of waiting by Yi Feng...

"Crack!"

A thunderbolt split the clear sky!

A deafening roar echoed across the heavens!

"Who dares harm my son?!"

The voice seemed to descend from the clouds, yet also as if it came from a million miles away—aged yet brimming with unrivaled dominance!

Those who heard it paled in fear!

The weak-willed felt their blood churn, terror flooding the eyes of onlookers!

In the blink of an eye, the entire city was thrown into panic.

Inside the house.

Xu Kaihan suddenly perked up, bursting into arrogant shouts!

"Father?!"

"It's my father! Your doom is here! Hahaha!!!"

Though trussed up like a stuffed dumpling, he instantly became as energetic as if injected with adrenaline.

Truly the epitome of reckless confidence!

To an uninformed observer, $2e might have seemed like a madman.

And an utterly hopeless one at that!

Yet Yi Feng's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Such bravado meant this guy's father was indeed formidable!

At the very least, $2e must have some real skills!

Seems the kid wasn’t lying.

Good, perfect!

This is a sure bet.

Finally, someone worth meeting—hope for death is in sight!

Yi Feng immediately hoisted the human dumpling up and stepped out of his courtyard.

The streets ahead were now deserted, the sky roiling with dark clouds!

Then—space itself was torn apart!

A figure strode out of the void, hands clasped behind his back, glaring down from the sky with eyes ablaze with fury and supremacy, as if all beneath him were mere ants!

The special effects were maxed out, the grandeur unmatched!

That demeanor.

That entrance!

Damn!

A true master!

Just like the legendary experts from novels in his past life!

Yi Feng couldn’t help but voice his admiration.

"666!"

His eyes sparkled with anticipation and excitement, $2s if he’d just seen his savior!

Meanwhile, Xu Kaihan shouted desperately,

"Father! This madman has humiliated me! Please avenge your son!"

High above, $2u Xianzhi’s killing intent surged at the words!

As the sect master of the Moonview Sect, $2ow could he tolerate his son being disgraced?!

Just as his rage reached its peak, $2i Feng openly admitted it!

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!"

"I bullied your son! You’ve gotta teach me a lesson!"

As he spoke, $2e even pulled out a knife from who-knows-where and started waving it around his neck!

"If you don’t kill me soon, $2’ll execute him! I swear I’ll do it!"

Holy crap!

People threaten others to back off all the time, $2ut threatening someone to attack?

This was outright disrespect to the Moonview Sect!

"Boy, you’re playing with fire! You’re courting death!!!"

Xu Xianzhi’s fury exploded, and he wasted no more words!

No matter what backing this fool had, $2is crime was unforgivable!

Instantly, his divine sense locked onto Yi Feng!

With a flip of his hand, $2 colossal palm materialized in the sky, darkening the heavens as it descended with crushing force!

The phantom hand blotted out the sun, $2ooming like Mount Tai itself!

Winds howled!

Awe-inspiring might shook the world!

This single strike silenced the surroundings, as if time itself had frozen!

Such was the power of the Moonview Sect’s master!

At this moment, $2u Kaihan shed all traces of fear, his eyes brimming with arrogance!

Gazing at the dumbstruck figure before him, $2is expression overflowed with pity!

But little did he know—

Yi Feng looked up at the sky, $2is face filled with satisfaction, eyes alight with hope!

As if his dream had finally come true, $2e sighed in moved admiration.

"Freaking awesome......!"

At last, $2e was about to achieve deathlessness!

After all this struggle!!!

A flood of emotions surged in his heart.

Yi Feng spread his arms and closed his eyes in serene acceptance!

This audacious display only enraged Xu Xianzhi further!

The already devastating strike was unleashed with full force!!!

Its power multiplied!

The entire sky was swallowed by darkness!

Yet the next moment—

when the terrifying palm strike landed, $2t vanished like a mud ox drowning in the sea!

Not only was Yi Feng not reduced to dust, $2ut not even a breeze ruffled his clothes as he stood there, arms still outstretched!

Not even a single corner of his robe fluttered!

Instantly, $2u Xianzhi was stunned!

How... how is this possible?!

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths!

A full ten breaths passed.

Nothing had changed, as if nothing had happened!

Xu Xianzhi was utterly baffled!

Down on the street, $2i Feng, feeling nothing, grew impatient.

He couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.

Slow to provoke, fine.

But even a master’s ultimate move needs this long to charge?!

What kind of cast time is this?!

The ancestor of Death’s Chant or what?

Unable to resist, he opened his eyes—

only to find the old man frozen mid-air, hand still raised, $2is face twisted like he’d swallowed a fly.

At this moment, $2e looked less like a supreme expert and more like a waving lucky cat!

Yi Feng glanced around.

Xu Kaihan, cowering in the distance, $2ooked like a complete idiot, his mouth gaping wide enough to see his tonsils.

The ground seemed cleaner too...

But otherwise, nothing had changed.

This...

This is your so-called master?

Ugh.

Disappointing.

Yi Feng’s heart sank to rock bottom!

His face instantly fell.

After all that waiting, $2e’d thought he’d finally met a true expert!

But in the end, $2t was all flash, no substance.

Sure, there was something.

But not much......

This was no sage—just a fraud!

All that dramatic entrance, $2cting like the real deal.

And this is it?

Grandma crawling under the blankets—what a joke!

With a grimace, $2i Feng lost all interest.

He casually flicked his hand toward the sky—

"Thud!"

A dull impact!

The fake sage plummeted instantly, $2ticking to the ground like a squashed mosquito!

In the past, $2uch power might have thrilled Yi Feng.

But now, $2ccustomed to his own strength, $2e felt only crushing disappointment.

Why is dying so damn hard?!

Whatever. Might as well check if this guy has any spirit crystals—can’t let that slap go to waste.

Yi Feng heaved a long, weary sigh.

"Ah......"

That sigh carried boundless desolation.

His light footsteps seemed weighed down by unspoken resignation.

To those who heard it, $2t spoke of endless solitude.

In the crater below, $2u Xianzhi lay with broken bones, $2ot daring to make a sound—his heart gripped by terror!

As the footsteps drew near, $2is eyes filled with dread!

After that single strike, $2o matter how foolish he was, $2e now understood the terrifying depth of this man’s power!

Damn it!

He’s here to wipe us out!

"Ah......"

Another sigh, $2illed with the loneliness of standing at the peak.

Xu Xianzhi’s body tensed completely!

He realized now—

he’d provoked someone far beyond his reach!

The gap between them was like heaven and earth!

This man...

This man was at least a Demi-Saint!

Before such an existence, $2laying dead was pointless!

"Shh...... Shh......"

The footsteps drew closer.

Xu Xianzhi’s mind raced, scrambling for a way out!

A Demi-Saint!

A freaking Demi-Saint!

Damn it all!

How could we have offended someone like this?!

And worse—he’d attacked first!

This was the end!

Total annihilation!

Not just him—

even the entire Moonview Sect combined would be nothing but dust!

Against a Demi-Saint, $2ho could possibly matter?!

Unless...

Unless it was a true Saint...

A Saint?!

Suddenly, Xu Xianzhi saw a sliver of hope!

Struggling to rise, $2isheveled and battered, $2e mustered every ounce of courage to issue a desperate threat:

"Wait...!"

"Your power is unmatched—I admit defeat!"

"Though I have never set foot in the Holy Realm, I am kin to the White Emperor, bearing true Saint's bloodline. Even someone like you, sir, would have to think twice before acting against the White Emperor!"

"Why not sheath our blades and part ways here...!"

Xu Xianzhi clenched his teeth, mustering the performance of a lifetime, his words dripping with conviction.

As expected.

Yi Feng was momentarily stunned by the declaration.

He froze abruptly.

Then, under Xu Xianzhi’s hopeful gaze, $2i Feng finally halted his steps—even offering a faint, amiable smile.
