CHAPTER 660: CHAPTER 152: SKY WING CITY LORD

"Lian Lian, wasn’t that strike too harsh? He seems to be dead," observed the female Mages nearby as they watched Feng Tian collapse, feeling somewhat perturbed.

On regular days, they would, at most, sideline a newcomer, but they had never personally killed a colleague before.

If the elders were to find out about this, they might all be expelled from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp.

"Why worry? Feng Tian has offended many people; being assassinated in the streets is nothing unusual," Chen Lianlian said nonchalantly.

Feng Tian was arrogant and extremely ruthless when competing in the Arena; he had injured numerous competitors before, so his being killed was not particularly surprising.

She carefully removed Feng Tian’s Magic Wand, wiped the blood off it, checked Feng Tian’s breath to confirm he was indeed dead, and then calmly left the scene with the two women.

However, Chen Lianlian was unaware that her earlier actions had all been witnessed by someone from a private room in a tavern.

That person was seated by the window, holding a wine glass in his hand.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties with a beautiful beard.

He was neither tall nor slim, his eyes expressed authority without anger.

Sitting opposite him was Manager Chu.

"Such ruthless acts occur within Sky Wing City as well?" the middle-aged man glanced at the fallen Feng Tian.

Beneath Feng Tian, blood continued to ooze out; before long, he would bleed out, and not even Divine Medicine could save him by then.

The man did hold some admiration for the young man.

Earlier at the crucial moment between life and death, the young man did not beg for mercy at all.

"That woman is from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp; it seems to be an internal struggle among them," Manager Chu frowned displeasily.

She also recognized Chen Lianlian as the woman who had earlier appeared in the Treasure Pavilion.

Who would have thought that she, acting all fragile and delicate in front of the Eldest Young Master, was such a ruthless person behind the scenes?

Such a person, if she were to truly marry into the City Lord Mansion, would likely cause chaos there in the future.

Manager Chu was already thinking that under no circumstances should Chen Lianlian deceive the Eldest Young Master out of that stone.

"Well, since we have witnessed this matter, let us save the young man," said the middle-aged man, and with a flash of his movement technique, he instantly moved from the third floor to a dark alley.

Death, so this is what it feels like.

When Chen Lianlian plunged the Magic Wand into Feng Tian’s chest, he could feel his Life Force slowly ebbing away.

When he was completely engulfed in darkness, Feng Tian felt an icy chill all around him.

Just as Feng Tian thought he was going to die in the streets today, a strong surge of fighting spirit entered his body.

The heart that had stopped beating started to beat once again.

When Feng Tian woke up, he saw two unfamiliar faces.

These two individuals, clearly no ordinary people, Feng Tian could not remember when he had made the acquaintance of such figures.

One of the middle-aged men had just withdrawn his hand from his body; it was this man who had infused Inner Strength into him.

"Why did you save me?" Feng Tian’s first words were not of gratitude, but rather held a hint of blame.

Having been defeated by Ye Beiming in front of countless people, Feng Tian felt he had lost all his dignity and no longer wanted to live, otherwise, his Magic Power would not have been completely lost, and Chen Lianlian would not have had such an easy time succeeding.

The beautiful lady beside him disapprovingly said: "What kind of tone is that? The City Lord personally saved you, and you dare to question him?"

The only individual in Sky Wing City who could be referred to as the City Lord was the Sky Wing City Lord himself.

Feng Tian couldn’t help but glance sideways.

"Are you Tianyi Venerate, the Sky Wing City Lord?"

The Sky Wing City Lord is well-renowned across the continent, and together with the Ghost Prison Elders from the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp, they are hailed as the two greatest Martial Emperors of the continent. It is rumored that both individuals are at the pinnacle of Martial Emperor and could break through to Martial God at any moment.

Since he seldom appears on the continent, very few have seen Tianyi Venerate in person.

Feng Tian found it difficult to associate the middle-aged man before him with the prestigious Tianyi Venerate.

"How audacious, to address the City Lord by his name unpermitted," the middle-aged beautiful woman accompanying Tianyi Venerate, who was Manager Chu of the Treasure Pavilion, exclaimed.

The whereabouts of the Sky Wing City Lord are often unpredictable, and upon returning to the city not long ago, he learned that his eldest son, Tian Yitu, was drunk in a tavern.

Initially, he came with Manager Chu to reprehend his son, but unexpectedly, they encountered the scene just now.

"Lan Lan, it’s alright," the Sky Wing City Lord waved his hand.

"Young man, your injuries are not severe, but you harbor a desire to die. Tell me, why do you no longer wish to live?" The Sky Wing City Lord had already noticed during his treatment that Feng Tian, despite his young age, was remarkably skilled in cultivation.

This young man, as long as he perseveres, will undoubtedly become one of the top Mages on the Wuji Continent in the future.

"I’ve lost. In all my life, Feng Tian has never tasted defeat. Having lost, I no longer harbor any thoughts of living a mediocre life," Feng Tian said dejectedly.

"Victory and defeat are common in battles. You lost this time, you can win next time," Tianyi Venerate couldn’t help but feel amused by the youth’s mentality.

"Can’t win; that person is too strong," blurted out Feng Tian.

If Ye Beiming were only an ordinary Martial Artist, Feng Tian would still have absolute confidence that he could defeat him in the future.

However, the words Ye Beiming whispered in his ear that day sent chills down Feng Tian’s spine.

Being able to unravel the Secret Magic Space-time Lock at the age of eleven, Ye Beiming is undoubtedly no fraud. He...

Is not only a Martial Artist but also a Mage.

A Dual Cultivator of Magic and Martial Arts, Ye Beiming is indeed a Dual Cultivator.

Realizing this, Feng Tian’s last bit of confidence was utterly shattered.

"Oh, perhaps I can give you some guidance. You are a Mage, and there might be a place that could boost your Magic Power," the Sky Wing City Lord whispered into Feng Tian’s ear.

Upon hearing this, Feng Tian’s brows furrowed slightly.

"Is what the City Lord said true?"

"It is indeed true. Once you make your way there, you will understand," said Tianyi Venerate, and without further ado, he and Manager Chu disappeared into the alley.

Feng Tian was left deep in thought.

While Feng Tian was immersed in his thoughts, he felt a sudden surge of activity in his Magic Soul within him.

Feng Tian, puzzled, took a closer look and his expression suddenly turned joyful.

This feeling was all too familiar to him.

Breakthrough, he was about to achieve a breakthrough. The impasse that had lasted two years while trying to break through as a Sky Mage had suddenly been understood amidst this bout of tragic defeat and brush with death.

Seizing the right moment for a breakthrough is crucial, and missing it might require a much longer wait. Feng Tian, unwilling to hesitate any further, immediately sat down cross-legged in a quiet alley outside the noisy streets and started meditating.
