CHAPTER 499: CHAPTER 499: SCORN IN ALL DIRECTIONS_1

Xui Yang found himself in a predicament; he dared not fight, nor dared he speak out. However, if he were to simply back down now, he would lose immense face in front of everyone. He was truly at a loss as to what to do next. The atmosphere grew increasingly tense, and Xui Yang became more and more embarrassed.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, a figure materialized in the sky above the square.

"Qin Feiyang!"

Everyone present trembled from head to toe. Their fearful gazes and horrified expressions were as if they had seen a demon. A clear glint of apprehension also appeared in Xui Yang’s eyes.

"What’s going on?" Qin Feiyang glanced around, his face etched with confusion.

"Sis?"

However, when his gaze fell upon Ren Wushuang, his brow furrowed slightly. Then, seeing Xui Yang standing opposite her, his expression instantly darkened.

How audacious of Xui Yang to bully Ren Wushuang! He really has the heart of a lion and the gall of a leopard!

WHOOSH!

He took a step forward, landing before Ren Wushuang, and whispered, "Wait here. I’m going to cripple him!"

Ren Wushuang, taken aback, quickly stopped Qin Feiyang. With a bitter smile, she said, "It’s not about me."

"Not about you?" Qin Feiyang was stunned.

Ren Wushuang spoke softly, "It was Leng Ruoshuang beside me. She stood up for you and Xui Yang slapped her." Her voice was so low that only the two of them could hear.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feiyang turned to Leng Ruoshuang at his side and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"It’s nothing," Leng Ruoshuang managed a forced smile, but her gaze was icy.

Qin Feiyang said, "Tell me, what happened?"

Leng Ruoshuang quickly recounted the preceding events.

Meanwhile, Xui Yang, an unshakeable fear in his eyes, was heading towards the square below.

After listening to Leng Ruoshuang’s account, Qin Feiyang’s eyes flickered with a cold light. He glanced at Lu Xingchen, then locked his gaze on Xui Yang. "You think you can just hit someone and walk away? Is it that easy?"

WHOOSH!

Qin Feiyang took a step, leaving a trail of afterimages as he rapidly approached Xui Yang.

Xui Yang felt a chilling pressure on his back and retorted angrily, "I didn’t hit you! What’s it got to do with you?"

"She spoke up for me. Hitting her is no different from hitting me," Qin Feiyang snorted coldly.

BOOM!

A terrifying aura erupted from him.

"A Six-Star War Emperor!"

"He was only a Four-Star War Emperor half a year ago! How did he advance to Six-Star War Emperor so quickly?"

The crowd below was dumbfounded, utterly incredulous.

Xui Yang grew even more panicked.

When this man first entered the inner court, with just his Four-Star War Emperor cultivation, he’d beaten all of them until they were forced to drink his foot-washing water. Now that he’s suddenly a Six-Star War Emperor, wouldn’t his combat strength be even more terrifying!

"Wu Yan, help me quickly!" he turned to Wu Yan below, but Wu Yan didn’t dare to make a move.

"No one can save you today, no matter who comes!" Qin Feiyang sneered. In the blink of an eye, he caught up to Xui Yang and kicked out.

"AHH!" Xui Yang was sent flying, letting out a scream like a stuck pig.

"Weren’t you so arrogant just now? How come you don’t even have the courage to fight me now?"

"Bullying women—what kind of man are you?"

"Come on, I have time today. I’ll play with you until you’ve had enough!"

Qin Feiyang pursued him and threw another punch.

"Damn it! Do you really think you’re invincible?" Xui Yang, pushed to the extreme, spun around. His Battle Intent surged, and his Battle Art materialized, hurtling towards Qin Feiyang with terrifying momentum!

CLANG!!!

Qin Feiyang waved his hand. Crimson Sword Qi surged forth, instantly condensing into three sword phantoms. Their terrifying sharpness filled the air like a tempest!

Xui Yang was a Seven-Star War Emperor, and his Battle Art was high-grade. Although Qin Feiyang was only a Six-Star War Emperor, his Guiyuan Sword Art was a perfect Battle Art! Each of the three sword phantoms possessed the destructive power of a perfect Battle Art.

The first sword phantom whistled out, colliding with Xui Yang’s Battle Art, and both were annihilated. Immediately after, the second and third sword phantoms slashed towards Xui Yang, breaking through his defenses as if they were made of paper!

"Don’t, don’t kill me!"

"Wu Yan, save me quickly!"

The bone-chilling sharpness rushed towards him, terrifying Xui Yang out of his wits. He screamed for Wu Yan’s help again. Simultaneously, he once again manifested his Battle Art, blasting it towards the second sword phantom.

However, Wu Yan didn’t come to his aid. Instead, he was retreating towards the entrance of the Elixir Fire Palace.

He knew Qin Feiyang wouldn’t let him off either, so he planned to use this chance to slip away. As long as he hid in an Alchemy chamber, Qin Feiyang wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.

His plan was sound, but reality was harsh. From the beginning, Qin Feiyang had been keeping an eye on Wu Yan’s movements.

With a wave of Qin Feiyang’s hand, one of the two sword phantoms targeting Xui Yang wheeled in mid-air and slashed towards Wu Yan with lightning speed!

"Damn it!" Wu Yan cursed inwardly, retreating while conjuring his Battle Art. A terrifying aura, like an erupting volcano, enveloped the area.

Meanwhile, the other people in the square leaped into the air, distancing themselves to avoid being caught in the collateral damage.

CLANG!!

BOOM!!

The two sword phantoms and the two Battle Arts collided violently, the impact momentarily eclipsing the sky and earth!

All three men were sent flying.

Yet, with a step into the void, Qin Feiyang instantly stabilized himself. He activated Phantom Step, and in a few strides, he was before Xui Yang.

SLAP!

Without any mercy, he raised his arm and viciously slapped Xui Yang across the face.

CRACK!

All of Xui Yang’s teeth shattered on the spot, spraying out mixed with blood!

Then, Qin Feiyang leaped up and stomped on Xui Yang’s chest, driving him downwards with extreme speed. Finally, with a thunderous BOOM, they crashed onto the square. The ground erupted, and Xui Yang was driven deep into the earth. Countless bones in his body had undoubtedly shattered, and blood gushed from his mouth uncontrollably!

Qin Feiyang remained standing on Xui Yang’s chest. He looked down at him and asked disdainfully, "Did you enjoy bullying a woman?"

Xui Yang’s heart trembled. He hurriedly pleaded, "I was wrong! I’ll never do it again! Please, just let me go this once!"

"Let you go?" Qin Feiyang smirked. He lifted his head to look towards the entrance of the Elixir Fire Palace, where Wu Yan had already run in and disappeared from view. But he didn’t pursue him. Instead, he turned to Leng Ruoshuang and asked with a smile, "How do you want me to deal with him? Or perhaps you’d like to do it yourself?"

Everyone turned to look at Leng Ruoshuang.

Leng Ruoshuang glanced at the pathetic Xui Yang and said, "I’m afraid I’d dirty my hands. You can decide what to do."

"Indeed." Qin Feiyang nodded. He stepped off Xui Yang, then turned, grabbed Xui Yang by his clothes, lifted him up, and kicked him squarely in the lower abdomen.

"AHH..."

Instantly, Xui Yang curled up in agony like a shrimp and shot away like a cannonball, his screams echoing through the sky.

The onlookers’ pupils contracted.

"A Seven-Star War Emperor is utterly powerless before him. This guy truly lives up to his reputation as a jinx!"

WHOOSH!

Then, Qin Feiyang moved again, his target the Elixir Fire Palace.

"Hmm?"

"Looks like Wu Yan is in trouble too."

"This brutal guy is not someone to be provoked!"

The surrounding Disciples were all terrified.

"AHH..."

A moment later, Wu Yan came tumbling out of the Elixir Fire Palace’s main gate, screaming in agony. He was drenched in blood! He lay on the ground, on the verge of death, completely immobile.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

With firm, deliberate steps, Qin Feiyang walked out of the Elixir Fire Palace. He scanned the crowd in the sky and said coolly, "Anyone else want to deal with me? Step forward now!"

However, wherever his gaze fell, no one dared to meet his eyes; all lowered their proud heads.

This brat... Ren Wushuang silently cursed. He doesn’t show up for ages, and when he does, he throws the inner court into chaos! What am I supposed to do with him?

However, seeing her ’adopted’ younger brother effortlessly suppress the crowd and act so majestic and commanding also made her quite happy. Regardless of how arrogant Qin Feiyang was, he had at least established a firm foothold in State City, and even in the entire Spirit State. Now, no one would dare to look down on him anymore.

"Weren’t you all trying to take me down earlier? Why isn’t anyone stepping up now?"

"Is this the backbone of you so-called geniuses?"

Qin Feiyang surveyed the entire assembly, exuding an aura of peerless dominance like a War God descended.

"Qin Feiyang, don’t overstep your bounds."

"There’s always someone better. Though you’re strong, there are those who are even stronger."

"That’s right! If you’re truly capable, go challenge the three Kings!" someone shouted out in defiance.

"The three Kings?" Qin Feiyang was puzzled.

Aren’t there supposed to be only two Kings in the inner court? How did three suddenly appear?

"What are you acting so arrogant for when you don’t even know about the three Kings?"

"Let alone the other two Kings, even the newly promoted King, Senior Brother Dong Zhengyang, could beat you until you flee with your tail between your legs!" someone sneered.

"Dong Zhengyang?" Qin Feiyang was taken aback. Dong Zhengyang is the newly promoted King? Could it be that once a Disciple of the inner court reached the War Ancestor realm, they could become a King of the inner court?

WHOOSH!

Xui Yang arrived, hurtling through the sky. His body was covered in wounds, blood streaming nonstop as he roared at Qin Feiyang, "Weren’t you so arrogant before? If you have the guts, go challenge them!"

Qin Feiyang’s eyes turned cold as he retorted, "You still have the energy to bark here. Seems like my lesson wasn’t harsh enough!"

BOOM!

As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted his arm, his index finger pointing into the void.

"Brother Qin, stop!"

Lu Xingchen swooped down, landing before Qin Feiyang. "Brother Qin," he said, "you should have vented enough anger. Please, be merciful where you can."

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow, his gaze, sharp as a razor, falling upon Lu Xingchen.

"Looks like they’re going to fight too."

"Absolutely."

"Qin Feiyang and Lu Xingchen have always been rivals. Now that Lu Xingchen is trying to stop Qin Feiyang, there’s no way Qin Feiyang will back down."

A few people began to whisper amongst themselves.

But in the end, Qin Feiyang lowered his arm. He nodded and said, "Fine, I’ll give you face this time."

"Huh?"

The crowd above was dumbfounded.

What is this all about? Weren’t these two mortal enemies? Why are they behaving like old friends now?

Ren Wushuang and Shen Mei were also deeply puzzled.

WHOOSH!

「Just then,」 a black figure streaked through the air, coming to a halt above the Elixir Fire Palace.

The moment this person arrived, a terrifying aura, vast as the ocean, surged out in all directions!

"Dong Zhengyang!"

Everyone present, except for a few like Qin Feiyang, trembled physically and mentally. A profound fear gripped their hearts. However, amusement quickly flickered in many eyes.

Qin Feiyang was single-handedly responsible for the Dong Family’s destruction. Dong Zhengyang’s appearance now definitely means he won’t let this go! A good show is about to start!

Xui Yang and Wu Yan, in particular, couldn’t help but gloat inwardly.
