Not bad. At this moment, what erupted from Li Feng’s body was the aura of the Innate Realm. Of course, this did not mean that Li Feng was now an Innate expert. Instead, he was using his Innate Realm divine sense to forcefully release the aura of the Innate Realm.
However, this Old Qu was not an Innate expert and had no knowledge of divine sense at all. Even if he knew Li Feng possessed divine sense, he would never have imagined that Li Feng’s divine sense had actually reached the Innate Realm.
So right now, Old Qu was completely shocked by the Innate Realm aura coming from Li Feng.
Although he was at the Half-Step Innate level, he clearly understood the huge gap between Half-Step Innate and the true Innate Realm. All along, he had believed Li Feng was at most on the same level as him, a Half-Step Innate. But now, feeling the Innate Realm aura from Li Feng, he realised he had been wrong. This Li Feng was not Half-Step Innate at all. He was a genuine Innate expert.
“Hahaha, old man, do you think this is impossible? You are wrong. There has never been anything impossible in this world. Do you think I faced you two Half-Step Innate experts and five Acquired Ninth Layer ancient martial artists and still refused to leave? Do you take me for an idiot? Would I stay here and wait for death when I knew I could not win?” Li Feng gave a cold laugh. Old Qu’s reaction was exactly what he had expected, which made him secretly relieved.
Yes, this was Li Feng’s plan. He took advantage of the fact that Old Qu knew nothing about divine sense. By using divine sense to unleash the aura of the Innate Realm, he made Old Qu wary and hesitant to attack, buying time for his own strength to recover.
Even if he could only recover thirty percent of his true qi, he was confident he could kill him.
Of course, if Old Qu ignored everything and attacked without fearing his Innate Realm aura, then his plan would fail completely. He would have to abandon the idea of killing Old Qu and escape. Fortunately, he had never exposed his relationship with Ge Ying. Even if he ran away, the people of the Beiming family would not harm Ge Ying.
Old Qu’s expression turned extremely ugly. The Innate Realm was something he had always dreamed of, yet he never expected to sense the aura of the Innate Realm coming from Li Feng.
If it had been only Half-Step Innate, he would have been confident in killing him. But the true Innate Realm was completely different. Even someone who had just broken through to the Innate Realm possessed strength far beyond Half-Step Innate.
So Old Qu had never considered fighting an Innate expert, because that would be like an old man hanging himself, seeking death.
What should he do?
Old Qu did not want to die. He had worked so hard to reach Half-Step Innate. One more step and he would become a true Innate expert. Once he broke through to the Innate Realm, he could live for another hundred years or more. He still had a wonderful life ahead to enjoy. But if he died here, everything would be gone.
Thinking of this, Old Qu did not hesitate for a second. He turned and ran.
At this moment, face, the Beiming family, none of it mattered in his eyes. Nothing was more important than his own life.
“This…”
Li Feng was stunned. He had considered many possibilities, but he had never imagined that Old Qu would actually run away.
Did he really believe Li Feng was an Innate expert? Even if he was, was this reaction not a bit too exaggerated?
Now Li Feng felt troubled.
Originally, he had only planned to use the aura of an Innate expert to intimidate Old Qu, then recover his true qi and kill him. But now Old Qu had fled. Should he chase or not?
If he chased, with his current strength he could not possibly kill Old Qu. Worse, Old Qu might see through his bluff and counter-kill him.
If he did not chase, with Old Qu’s Half-Step Innate cultivation, he could investigate Li Feng’s identity. That would bring endless trouble later. Although he could kill Old Qu in a one-on-one fight in the future, the others from the Beiming family were different.
According to Ge Feng’s evaluation of the Beiming family, they were capable of anything. So if Old Qu later wanted to kill him, it was not impossible.
Therefore, the only solution was to kill him now. Only by killing him could the problem be resolved.
In that split second, countless thoughts flashed through Li Feng’s mind. In the end, he decided to pursue and kill Old Qu at any cost.
With that thought, Li Feng shouted loudly, “Old man, where do you think you’re going…”
Instantly, Old Qu was scared out of his wits. An Innate expert! This was not someone he could resist. Although he did not understand why Li Feng had not used his Innate strength to kill them earlier, he could not think about that anymore. He only wanted to escape. Only by escaping would he have a chance to live.
Moreover, Old Qu now believed Li Feng was an old monster who had returned to youth. The reason he looked young was because he had broken through to the Innate Realm. Such rejuvenation was not rare. Their Beiming family had several such cases.
If that was true, then Li Feng had not used his Innate strength from the beginning simply to toy with them.
Thinking of this, Old Qu felt even more terrified. People like that were psychologically twisted. Their every action was beyond normal understanding.
If Li Feng knew what Old Qu was thinking right now, he would probably laugh himself unconscious. But at this moment, Li Feng had no idea. He simply pushed the Phantom Nine Layers movement technique to its limit and chased Old Qu from behind at full speed.
Although Old Qu was Half-Step Innate and extremely fast, he was no match for Li Feng’s Phantom Nine Layers. He was quickly caught up.
“Die.” Li Feng shouted loudly and threw several flying knives towards Old Qu.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The flying knives moved like lightning and reached Old Qu’s back in an instant. Old Qu’s expression changed. He turned and struck out with a palm.
Bang, bang, bang…
Palm energy exploded outward, instantly knocking away several flying knives.
Old Qu was stunned. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. This Li Feng was supposed to be an Innate expert. Why was his attack power so weak? It was even weaker than before. Could this guy not be an Innate expert after all?
Impossible. If he was not an Innate expert, how could he possibly release the aura of an Innate expert? Old Qu had never heard of any Acquired Realm ancient martial artist who could unleash the aura of an Innate expert.
But then what was with this weak attack?
Before Old Qu could figure it out, Li Feng had already arrived in front of him. However, what Li Feng now held in his hand was not the large blade from before, but a dagger.
A dagger?!
Old Qu was stunned. He could not understand why Li Feng had suddenly switched to a dagger. Did he plan to kill him with a dagger?
In the moment of Old Qu’s confusion, Li Feng suddenly thrust the dagger forward.
The moment the dagger moved, the sky and earth changed colour. The surrounding void trembled. A terrifying, heart-shaking aura shot straight into the clouds.
“This is…” Old Qu’s eyes widened. The aura around his body was instantly suppressed, as if his entire being had been locked in some kind of spatial prison.
He stared fixedly at Li Feng. His pupils contracted sharply. With a face full of disbelief, he said, “You… you actually have a spiritual weapon.”
“Too bad you realised it too late.” Li Feng’s eyes gleamed with killing intent. As he poured his true qi into the dagger, a terrifying aura surged out from it. In that instant, Li Feng felt as if all the true qi left in his body had been completely drained.
“Die.”
Li Feng roared and swung the dagger. It struck out like lightning. The cold light flashed, tearing through the void like a roaring dragon shaking heaven and earth.
A simple move, yet it surpassed Li Feng’s strongest attack at his peak. It was unmatched, shattering the sky.
Although Old Qu was Half-Step Innate, he could not help but tremble in fear at this moment. This move was fierce, overbearing, and incomparably sharp. It sent an icy chill deep into his bones.
At this point, even if Old Qu wanted to run, it was already too late. Li Feng’s terrifying strike carried boundless power and descended from above his head like the splitting of heaven and earth, unstoppable.
“Ah…”
In this life-or-death moment, Old Qu also went all out. Ignoring whether he could block it or not, he roared and circulated his true qi to the maximum. He punched upward to meet the countless beams of cold light falling from above.
Boom!
The cold light descended and sliced Old Qu’s fist apart like cutting tofu from top to bottom. Then it struck his head, splitting his skull in two.
This was the power of the dagger. This was the might of a spiritual weapon.
Seeing the dead Old Qu, Li Feng finally let out a long breath.
It was finally over…
While chasing Old Qu earlier, he had been thinking about how to kill him. With the little true qi left in his body, even his Profound Grade martial skill Dragon Roar Palm would be useless because he lacked enough true qi to activate it.
Using a gun, even a sniper rifle, might not guarantee a kill. So he thought of this dagger.
This dagger was the spiritual weapon he had obtained last time in the underground city of the Ancient Martial Artists Association. He had never used it before and did not know its true power. But now he had no choice, so he took it out to try.
A spiritual weapon was an existence far beyond ordinary weapons. In the Ancient Martial Artists Association, even if someone bankrupted themselves, they could not exchange for one. Apart from those who already owned spiritual weapons, no one knew their true power.
But even Li Feng had not expected the dagger to be this shockingly powerful. Even with almost no true qi left in his body, the attack he unleashed with this spiritual weapon was comparable to his strongest move at full strength.
“So this is a spiritual weapon. It’s too powerful.” A trace of shock flashed in Li Feng’s eyes. At the same time, he secretly felt lucky. The spiritual weapon’s overwhelming power had finally allowed him to kill Old Qu. Otherwise, if Old Qu had escaped, the consequences would have been endless trouble.
“If I had a spiritual weapon blade instead, could I then kill a true Innate expert?” A sharp glint appeared in Li Feng’s eyes. The incredible power of the spiritual weapon filled him with anticipation for such treasures.
“But this spiritual weapon consumes far too much true qi. Probably only someone in the Innate Realm can truly afford to use it. Luckily, most of the Beiming family members have already been dealt with. Otherwise, even an ordinary person could kill me right now.”
Li Feng felt as if every ounce of strength had been drained from his body. He was so weak he could not even lift a finger. He gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
However, at this moment, Li Feng did not notice that behind him, a pair of ice-cold eyes were staring at him. Overwhelming killing intent was slowly enveloping him.
