“I do not understand what you are talking about.” Shen Kongxuan’s expression changed. He knew that since he had appeared here, Li Feng must already suspect him. But so what if he suspected? As long as he did not admit it, what could Li Feng do to him?
“You do not understand? This sentence would be clear even to an idiot, yet you claim you do not understand. It turns out you are even worse than an idiot.” Li Feng was not surprised at all. If Shen Kongxuan had simply admitted it right away, he would not have earned the nickname Gentleman Sword. Most of those called Gentleman Sword were hypocrites anyway.
“You…” Shen Kongxuan’s face turned livid. His eyes burned like fire as he glared at Li Feng.
Li Feng sneered inwardly. Shen Kongxuan, oh Shen Kongxuan. Today you wanted to challenge me, did you not? I will let you know what it means to reap what you sow.
“Not only is Shen Kongxuan an idiot, but all of you here are idiots one by one.” Li Feng looked at the rogue cultivators with a cold laugh and said, “Did none of you see that I was on a date with Hua Jieyu? Not only did you disturb my date, but you also claimed I had a spot for the Boxing King Tournament. Just because someone said so, you believed it?”
“What? A date?”
“He is with the Flower Demon Hua Jieyu?”
“How is that possible? The Flower Demon Hua Jieyu has a man?”
“I remember now. When the Flower Demon arrived earlier, the first person she looked for was him.”
“Yes, yes, it was right before the Pursuit King appeared.”
After hearing Li Feng’s words, the rogue cultivators began to look uncertain and doubtful. Could it really be as he said? Was he truly on a date with Hua Jieyu?
“Do not listen to his nonsense. Hua Jieyu and the others came to trade the Boxing King Tournament spot with him. It is definitely not a date.” Hearing the crowd’s murmurs, Shen Kongxuan’s expression changed drastically. The words slipped out before he could stop them. But as soon as he spoke, he realised his mistake. His face turned ashen.
“Hua Jieyu and the others were trading the Boxing King Tournament spot with me? Shen Kongxuan, Gentleman Sword Shen Kongxuan, how exactly did you know about this? I am very curious.” Li Feng sneered. As expected, Hua Jieyu was a taboo topic for Shen Kongxuan. The moment her name was mentioned, he could no longer hold back.
“I… I was with Hua Jieyu earlier, so naturally I knew.” Shen Kongxuan said.
“What do you mean? Did Hua Jieyu tell you herself that they came here to trade the Boxing King Tournament spot with me? Or did you see Hua Jieyu and the others trading with me here, which is why you went around telling everyone that I had a spot?”
At this point, Li Feng sneered again and continued, “Or perhaps you saw me on a date with Hua Jieyu here, felt jealous, and so you spread rumours that I had an invitation to the Boxing King Tournament. You wanted everyone to come and disturb my date with Hua Jieyu, even using others to kill me indirectly, all to achieve that unspeakable goal of yours.”
Hearing Li Feng speak about Shen Kongxuan like this, Leng Rubing’s expression changed. She was about to speak up, but Hua Jieyu pulled her back.
Leng Rubing looked at Hua Jieyu in confusion.
Hua Jieyu shook her head at Leng Rubing. She was the most furious hearing Li Feng say these things. But what could anger do? Although she had not known Li Feng for long, Hua Jieyu felt that this man was capable of anything. If she tried to stop him now, not only would it have no effect, but he might say even harsher things.
At the same time, Hua Jieyu felt ashamed of Shen Kongxuan’s behaviour. You provoked Li Feng yourself, failed to complete the trade, and then did something like this. How could I have treated you as a friend?
Because of all this, Hua Jieyu decided to watch quietly for now.
But what Hua Jieyu did not expect was that her attempt to stop Leng Rubing actually made Leng Rubing suspect her relationship with Li Feng.
Could it be that Sister Hua really has something going on with this Young Master Feng?
Thinking of this, Leng Rubing’s eyes darted around, lost in thought.
“You are talking nonsense. What unspeakable goal could I possibly have?” Shen Kongxuan snorted coldly and said, “Young Master Feng, there is no need to frame me here. Now you only need to take out the invitation in your hand.”
“Hahaha, Shen Kongxuan, after all this talk, you just want the invitation in my hand.” Li Feng sneered, took out an invitation from his space bag, and held it up. “Indeed, I do have one invitation here. As long as any of you tell me who told you that I had an invitation, I will give this invitation to that person.”
“It was me.”
“It was me.”
“Nonsense, it was me.”
One by one, the rogue cultivators raised their hands. However, out of fear of Li Feng and Lu Shuang, they did not make a move. Their eyes were filled with greed as they stared at the invitation in Li Feng’s hand.
“Was it you?” Li Feng pointed at a rogue cultivator in front of him.
“Yes, it was me.” The rogue cultivator pointed at showed a look of delight and quickly nodded.
“Really?”
“Yes, yes, yes, it is true.” The rogue cultivator nodded repeatedly.
“Then do you know who I am?” Li Feng asked again.
“You are Young Master Feng.” The rogue cultivator answered.
“Young Master Feng?” Li Feng sneered and continued, “Then do you know my real name? How old I am? As long as you tell me, I will give you this invitation.”
“I… I…”
“Hmph, you do not even know who I am. How could you possibly know that I have an invitation? So it was not you. Unfortunately, this invitation cannot be given to you.” Li Feng sneered.
“I think you just do not want to give it at all. Everyone, do not listen to him. Just snatch the invitation.” Seeing that Li Feng refused to give him the invitation, the rogue cultivator flew into a rage. He stomped on the ground and lunged toward Li Feng.
“Seeking death.” Li Feng sneered and threw a punch.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the rogue cultivator was directly blasted apart by Li Feng’s punch. His body turned into chunks of flesh and blood that scattered in all directions.
“This is what happens when you make a move. Whoever wants to try, come ahead.” Li Feng looked at the restless rogue cultivators. A cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Thud thud thud…
Seeing the murderous Li Feng, the few rogue cultivators in front stepped back in fear, staring at him in horror.
“Young Master Feng, killing so brutally at the slightest disagreement. Do not think I do not know what you are planning. I think you simply do not want to hand over the invitation.” Shen Kongxuan’s expression changed. The rogue cultivator just now had the strength of the eighth level of Houtian, only one realm below him, yet he was blasted to death by Li Feng’s single punch. Did this not mean Li Feng’s strength could also overpower him?
At this moment, Shen Kongxuan’s heart was filled with unwillingness, anger, and jealousy.
Why? Why does this Young Master Feng have an invitation to the Boxing King Tournament? Why is his strength so terrifying? Why is Hua Jieyu so close to him?
“Shen Kongxuan, did you not say I would not hand over the invitation? Fine. Right here, I swear in the name of the Great God Pangu. Whoever says I have an invitation, I will give this invitation in my hand to that person.”
Li Feng swore in the name of the Great God Pangu, then looked at the crowd and said, “Of course, if any of you dare to swear in the name of the Great God Pangu that you were the first to tell others I had a spot in the Boxing King Tournament, then this invitation in my hand will go to you.”
“This…”
“In the name of the Great God Pangu…”
“What do we do? Who was it really?”
The rogue cultivators who had been clamouring for the invitation now looked at each other, at a loss. For these ancient martial artists, swearing in the name of the Great God Pangu was not something done lightly. If broken, it could easily become a heart demon and affect their cultivation.
Originally they could have robbed him, but now Li Feng could blast an eighth-level Houtian cultivator with one punch. Add to that his strange movement technique and Lu Shuang, who had killed the Pursuit King Xiang Kanghai beside him, they no longer dared to act.
Moreover, Li Feng had just said he would hand over this invitation. When the time came, they could simply rob whoever received it. That way, there would be no need to offend Li Feng, this major enemy.
With these two thoughts, the rogue cultivators suppressed their restless hearts and continued to wait.
At the same time, Shen Kongxuan’s expression kept changing unpredictably.
Shen Kongxuan never expected Li Feng to swear in the name of the Great God Pangu. If Li Feng had sworn by any other name, he would not have believed it at all. But swearing in the name of the Great God Pangu, unless Li Feng truly wanted to create a heart demon, he would not go against his oath.
Did this not mean that if he admitted it was him who said Li Feng had a spot in the Boxing King Tournament, he could obtain the invitation in Li Feng’s hand?
Thinking of this, Shen Kongxuan’s heart surged with excitement. This invitation to the Boxing King Tournament came with ten spots to participate. If he got the invitation and sold the remaining nine spots like Li Feng did, would he not make a huge profit?
However, Shen Kongxuan also knew that while obtaining the invitation, he would face endless danger. Once these rogue cultivators saw him receive the invitation from Li Feng, they would not let him go.
But the temptation of the invitation was simply too great. Countless people wanted it right now. Could he really just watch it slip away and give up?
No, absolutely not. Why could Li Feng have an invitation while he could not? He was Gentleman Sword Shen Kongxuan. Did he need to fear those rogue cultivators?
Raising his head, he looked at Hua Jieyu standing beside Li Feng. Shen Kongxuan’s gaze sharpened.
He felt that the reason Hua Jieyu ignored him and grew close to Li Feng was precisely because Li Feng had an invitation to the Boxing King Tournament. As Hua Jieyu’s friend, he knew very well that this time, Hua Jieyu was determined to participate in the Boxing King Tournament and enter the Dark Prison Island no matter what.
If he obtained the invitation in Li Feng’s hand, Hua Jieyu would no longer have the chance to trade with Li Feng. Then, would she not have to come begging him?
For Hua Jieyu, for the invitation to the Boxing King Tournament, what were a few dangers? In the worst case, he could let Hua Jieyu and the others help him. He would give them one free spot. With Hua Jieyu and the others’ strength, plus his own, could they not handle those rogue cultivators? Moreover, would those rogue cultivators really dare to target him? Would they not fear his master?
Yes, that was the plan.
Thinking of this, Shen Kongxuan gritted his teeth and spoke, “It was me who told everyone. Young Master Feng, you were selling spots for the Boxing King Tournament here. I can swear in the name of the Great God Pangu.”
