Fang Yunshi had already reached right in front of Chu Feng, yet he was stepped on by Chu Feng and pinned to the ground.
Not only was he trampled underfoot, Fang Yunshi was also bruised and swollen all over his face. While he opened his mouth to wail in pain, all his teeth fell out.
What a miserable sight!
Looking at him like this, it was clearly not as simple as just being stepped down. His face had obviously been punched several times hard.
In just an instant, what exactly had happened?
Why would Fang Yunshi, a Fourth Rank Venerable, be so powerless in front of Chu Feng?
Was it not rumoured that Chu Feng was only a First Rank Venerable?
Boom!
While everyone was puzzled, a surge of pressure burst out and covered the entire area.
That pressure directly sent the Nanque Academy disciple who had been stepping on Song Xi flying away.
The force was so strong that he slammed straight into the mountain wall and passed out.
The others were also drenched in cold sweat, trembling with fear.
Because at this moment, the aura Chu Feng released was not that of a First Rank Venerable, but a Sixth Rank Venerable.
“Sixth Rank Venerable, Chu Feng you…”
Not to mention the others, even Song Xi was stunned when he felt the pressure coming from Chu Feng.
But Chu Feng ignored Song Xi and turned his gaze toward Hei Yao.
“Hei Yao, are you a disciple of Beixuan Academy?”
“You did nothing to save someone in danger, and you even dared to frame a fellow disciple?”
As soon as Chu Feng finished speaking, overwhelming pressure descended from above. With a thud, Hei Yao was forced flat on the ground.
The pressure was no light matter. It made Hei Yao cough up large mouthfuls of blood one after another.
“Junior Brother Chu Feng, spare me, please spare me.”
“I had no choice. Fang Yunshi has Senior Brother Xia Ran backing him. We cannot fight them. I only wanted to protect myself.”
Hei Yao begged bitterly, not caring about the blood flowing from his mouth. Even tears streamed down his face.
“Song Xi, how to deal with him is up to you.”
Chu Feng looked toward Song Xi.
“Let him go.”
Song Xi glanced at Hei Yao, then said to Chu Feng.
“Fine.”
Chu Feng withdrew the pressure that had been crushing Hei Yao.
“Thank you, Junior Brother Chu Feng, thank you so much.”
Hei Yao hurriedly got up and thanked Chu Feng repeatedly.
This is how spineless people behave. Earlier, when Chu Feng treated him with respect, he made things difficult at every turn.
Now that Chu Feng had beaten him, he still had to thank Chu Feng.
Yet this is exactly how many arrogant people act.
They bully the weak and fear the strong. They do not deserve respect.
As for Chu Feng, he had seen far too many people like Hei Yao.
So he paid no attention to Hei Yao at all. Instead, he looked toward the disciples of Nanque Academy.
“Which of you just attacked someone from my Beixuan Academy?”
Chu Feng asked coldly, his gaze sharp.
“No, no, none of us did.”
The Nanque Academy disciples shook their heads frantically. Many of their voices trembled as they spoke.
“I, Chu Feng, distinguish clearly between kindness and grudges. Since none of you acted, I will not make things hard for you.”
“But remember this. Not just Song Xi. From now on, no one from Beixuan Academy can be bullied by people like you.”
“If any of you dare to bully anyone from Beixuan Academy in the future, you had better pray I, Chu Feng, do not find out. If I do find out…”
At this point, Chu Feng suddenly raised his foot and stomped down hard on Fang Yunshi beneath him.
Chu Feng stomped twice. Each time, besides Fang Yunshi’s heart-wrenching screams, there was also the clear sound of cracking bones.
One arm and one leg of Fang Yunshi were directly broken by Chu Feng’s stomps.
“He is your example.”
Chu Feng pointed at Fang Yunshi, who was writhing and wailing under his foot, and said.
“We dare not, we dare not.”
The Nanque Academy disciples shook their heads repeatedly.
Even the disciples from Donglong Academy and Xihu Academy were sweating coldly, scared into stepping back.
Some of the more timid ones simply left the scene and ran away.
They were afraid of getting involved.
Although they came from Donglong Academy and Xihu Academy, their cultivation levels were generally not high. Many were even weaker than Song Xi and Fang Yunshi.
Disciples at their level were naturally very afraid of Chu Feng.
After saying his piece, Chu Feng raised his head and looked toward the top of Tianfeng Peak.
“It seems I cannot go back up.”
Chu Feng gazed at the peak summit. He could feel the pressure he had sensed at the base of Tianfeng lingering above him.
It appeared that Tianfeng could only be descended, not ascended.
It really was a teleportation array. Whatever level it sent you to became the highest level you could reach.
“Chu Feng, I’m sorry…”
But suddenly, Song Xi’s voice sounded.
If it had been his normal voice, that would have been fine. But at this moment, Song Xi’s voice carried a sobbing tone.
Chu Feng looked over and saw that Song Xi had already knelt on the ground. The person he was kneeling to was Chu Feng himself.
Song Xi’s kneeling left the onlookers very confused.
Chu Feng had clearly stood up for Song Xi, which showed they had a close relationship.
So why was Song Xi kneeling to him?
But Chu Feng knew exactly why Song Xi was kneeling.
“There is no need. Get up.”
“If I blamed you, I would not have helped you.”
As he spoke, Chu Feng waved his hand and used his power to lift Song Xi up.
But right after being lifted, Song Xi thudded down again and knelt once more in front of Chu Feng.
This time Song Xi cried even more intensely. His mouth opened wide, and his chin kept twitching.
Tears poured down like rain, and even snot flowed out.
He cried miserably.
“Chu Feng, believe me. You have been so good to me, and I, Song Xi, know it.”
“I have always kept your kindness in my heart.”
“I have never forgotten it, but…”
“I refused to admit it. I refused to admit you were stronger than me.”
“I always thought I had far surpassed you.”
“I was wrong. I was really wrong.”
“Actually… I have always looked up to you as my role model. I always wanted to become someone like you, someone who helps those weaker than himself when he has the ability.”
“To become a loyal and righteous friend in the eyes of friends.”
“To become a hero who saves the suffering in the eyes of ordinary people.”
“But I found it too hard. Once a person reaches a certain position, all kinds of fake flattery come rushing in.”
“When you receive all that praise and support, it is really hard to stay true to yourself.”
“You cannot tell which flattering words are real and which are fake. You cannot tell who around you is genuine and who is not.”
“But… even if I knew they might be fake, I still wanted to hold onto them before.”
“I did not want to lose the feeling of being lifted up, the feeling of being respected.”
“I was afraid. I was afraid your arrival would make me lose my position in Beixuan Academy.”
“I was afraid I would go back to being the Song Xi everyone looked down on. I was afraid of losing everything here.”
“So I became obsessed…”
“Obsessed, I did things I should not have done, shameful things.”
“You were clearly my benefactor. I should have repaid you, but instead I did things that wronged you.”
“Actually, it was me. I deliberately changed the quota so you would not come to this trial.”
“I’m sorry, Chu Feng. You treated me so well, yet I treated you like this.”
“I have let you down. I have let you down so much.”
“I am scum. I am an ungrateful bastard.”
After saying this, Song Xi began to kowtow fiercely to Chu Feng. The force was so strong that he knocked his own forehead until it bled.
