In the Golden Buddha Temple canteen.
“Big Brother, Big Brother, look quickly. A fourth-layer Innate has gone to cause trouble for that Young Master Feng,” the Fifth Ghost shouted.
“What, fourth-layer Innate? Damn it,” the Big Ghost’s expression changed. If this fourth-layer Innate snatched the Boxing King Tournament invitations, it would not be easy for them to rob them afterwards. Their brothers could handle third-layer Innate ancient martial artists, but they could not deal with a fourth-layer Innate.
“Damn it, what is this fourth-layer Innate doing here? Does he also want to participate in the Boxing King Tournament? Damn it, what do we do?” The Big Ghost’s ugly face became especially ferocious from anger.
“Big Brother, how about we act now?” the Fourth Ghost suggested.
“You idiot, acting now means you are looking for death?” the Big Ghost cursed loudly. Acting now would be snatching food from the grey-robed old man’s mouth. No one could tolerate that. He did not believe the grey-robed old man would simply watch.
“Then what do we do? Are we going to leave Golden Buddha Temple today with nothing?” the Fourth Ghost said unwillingly.
“If the Boxing King Tournament invitations are snatched by that grey-robed old man, we can only abandon today’s plan and find another way,” the Big Ghost sighed and said.
“Big Brother, do you still think that Young Master Feng might be able to deal with this fourth-layer Innate grey-robed old man?” the Fifth Ghost said in disbelief. “How is that possible? Fourth-layer Innate is already a mid-stage Innate powerhouse. Such people rarely appear, and when they do, there is nothing they cannot accomplish. That grey-robed old man already said the one who killed the Tianshan Twin Heroes beside Young Master Feng is only a third-layer Innate ancient martial artist. Although third-layer Innate and fourth-layer Innate differ by just one realm, it is the dividing line between early-stage Innate and mid-stage Innate. Even adding those two first-layer Innate, they might not be a match for that grey-robed old man.”
“Old Fifth, you are right. That third-layer Innate combined with two first-layer Innate might not be able to match this grey-robed old man, especially since one of them is injured,” the Big Ghost nodded. Then his tone shifted. “But I feel that Young Master Feng might have another hidden card.”
“What? A hidden card?” The Second Ghost and the others asked in disbelief. “Big Brother, do you mean that besides these three Innate experts by his side, Young Master Feng still has hidden experts in the shadows? How is that possible? What exactly is Young Master Feng’s background to have more experts nearby?”
“Haven’t you noticed how calm that Young Master Feng is?” the Big Ghost said.
“That is true,” everyone looked and could not help but nod.
“However, this is our opportunity. If Young Master Feng has a trump card and uses it to deal with this grey-robed old man, his trump card will be exposed. Then our chance of success in acting will be much greater,” a sharp glint flashed in the Big Ghost’s eyes as he said gravely, “If Young Master Feng has no trump card and gets killed by that grey-robed old man, then we stop the plan and find another way to get the Boxing King Tournament invitations.”
At the same time, the middle-aged man and woman on that large tree saw the grey-robed old man appear, and their expressions changed.
“It seems we will not get a spot,” the middle-aged man sighed.
“Yes, I did not expect a fourth-layer Innate to join the fun,” the woman named Lu’er said.
“It looks like we can only find another way. Lu’er, let us go,” the middle-aged man said.
“Wait, I want to watch a little longer…” Lu’er shook her head and said.
At this moment, in front of the steps at the entrance of the Great Hero Hall, the grey-robed old man looked at Li Feng with a sinister face, his eyes filled with chilling killing intent.
“Today I will let you see what I am capable of.” As soon as the grey-robed old man finished speaking, he struck with a palm. It was like a massive heavenly hand pressing down.
Whoosh!
The giant palm descended with overwhelming momentum, enveloping all directions.
Li Feng’s heart tightened. He felt as though his bones were about to be crushed by this pressure.
“Stop.” Nangong Wu’s eyes flashed with anger. He flashed forward to stand in front of Li Feng, coldly staring at the grey-robed old man while striking a palm towards him.
At the same time, a third-layer Innate aura surged from Nangong Wu’s body, resisting the grey-robed old man’s pressure.
“Overestimating yourself.” The grey-robed old man sneered. The giant palm descended and shattered the palm shadow almost effortlessly. The strength of fourth-layer Innate aura was enough to crush third-layer Innate Nangong Wu.
Bang!
Nangong Wu was sent flying by a powerful force.
However, Nangong Wu cultivated the Nangong family’s unique technique. In that instant, the true qi in his body circulated rapidly to withstand the invading force.
Even so, he was still sent flying and landed while spitting out a mouthful of blood.
So strong.
A grave look flashed in Nangong Wu’s eyes. This grey-robed old man was definitely not an ordinary fourth-layer Innate. An ordinary fourth-layer Innate would not injure him so easily.
“Kid, no one can save you today.” The grey-robed old man stepped towards Li Feng step by step, a ferocious smile curling on his lips. “In the face of absolute strength, everything is just trash and chicken feathers, not worth a single blow. Today, not only will I take your Boxing King Tournament invitations and the heavenly materials and earthly treasures on you, I will also tear you into ten thousand pieces.” With that, he prepared to strike.
“If you want to kill me, I am afraid you do not have the ability.”
Li Feng sneered coldly, his gaze icy as he looked at the grey-robed old man. A powerful divine sense began to condense in his sea of consciousness.
“Such strong divine sense fluctuations.” As soon as Li Feng began condensing his divine sense, the grey-robed old man sensed it. His eyelid twitched, then he sneered and said, “I did not expect such strong divine sense. It seems this old man underestimated him.”
Although he was somewhat surprised, it was only surprise.
“Hmph, so what if your divine sense is strong? What matters now is cultivation, not divine sense.” The grey-robed old man snorted coldly. In his view, divine sense was just a useless appendage with no offensive power. Li Feng wanting to use divine sense against him was simply overestimating himself.
“In the ancient era, with such strong divine sense, you might have been a genius. But now you are just trash.” The grey-robed old man sneered ferociously. His palm flipped and turned into a giant palm striking towards Li Feng.
“Stop.” Nangong Wu’s expression changed drastically. If Li Feng died, it would bring no benefit to the Nangong family. After all, the Nangong family had just become Li Feng’s vassal family. If Li Feng died right after, and word spread, it would do them no good.
Moreover, if the power behind Li Feng learned that Li Feng had encountered danger today and he had not acted, they would definitely not spare him or the Nangong family.
He had thought that after dealing with the Tianshan Twin Heroes, there would be no more trouble today. But unexpectedly, a fourth-layer Innate old fellow had appeared.
The grey-robed old man sneered. A mere third-layer Innate could not stop him at all.
“Young Master Feng.”
“Young Master Feng.”
Blood Shadow and Lu Shuang’s expressions changed greatly. They both lunged forward. When the grey-robed old man and Nangong Wu had clashed earlier, they had not reacted in time. Now, seeing Li Feng in crisis, their alarmed cries rang out.
“This kid is finally going to die,” a rogue cultivator who had not gotten a Boxing King Tournament spot sneered.
“What a pity!” Many rogue cultivators sighed inwardly.
Fourth-layer Innate was mid-stage Innate. Such experts were not something ordinary people could resist. Even among these rogue cultivators, fourth-layer Innate powerhouses were rare to see even in decades, let alone withstand an attack from one.
“Damn it, this Young Master Feng is really going to die.” The Big Ghost’s face turned ashen. If Li Feng died, the Boxing King Tournament invitations and those heavenly materials and earthly treasures would all become the grey-robed old man’s possessions.
“It seems if we want to participate in the Boxing King Tournament, we must find another way,” the Fourth Ghost’s expression also changed.
“Hua Jieyu, what do we do now?” Chen Miaoling asked Hua Jieyu with a deathly pale face. To participate in the Boxing King Tournament and get a spot from Li Feng, she had paid a huge price. But if Li Feng died, not only would she fail to join the Boxing King Tournament, she would also lose the heavenly material and earthly treasure she had spent several years obtaining.
“I do not know either.” A trace of confusion flashed in Hua Jieyu’s eyes. At this moment, she truly did not know what to do. The appearance of the fourth-layer Innate grey-robed old man was beyond her expectations. If the wooden box she had given Li Feng fell into the grey-robed old man’s hands, the consequences would be something she could not bear.
On the large tree, the middle-aged man said, “It is over.”
“Yes, it is over.” Lu’er sighed and could not bear to watch, closing her eyes.
At the same time, the divine sense in Li Feng’s sea of consciousness had already condensed into a spear. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Seeing the sharp glint in Li Feng’s eyes, the grey-robed old man inexplicably felt a tremor in his heart.
“Die.” Li Feng’s gaze sharpened. He shouted fiercely, “Soul Spear, annihilate.”
Buzz!
A light pattern appeared between Li Feng’s brows. The light pattern flashed and instantly turned into a vortex, pitch-black and profound, as if it were a passage connecting to the gates of hell. At the same time, a terrifying aura spread from it, so powerful and horrifying that it made the entire soul tremble in fear.
“What is this thing?” The grey-robed old man’s face showed terror. A strong sense of unease rose in his heart.
Before the grey-robed old man could react, a powerful long spear shot out from the vortex between Li Feng’s brows.
This was a spear about one metre long, condensed entirely from divine sense. The Soul Spear was covered in continuously flashing light patterns. These light patterns contained mysterious profound meanings and emitted a terrifying aura.
At the same time, the grey-robed old man’s giant palm continued to press down towards Li Feng.
Bang!
The Soul Spear tore through the void. The flashing light patterns turned into a streak of black light that instantly pierced through the giant palm formed of true qi and shot straight towards the grey-robed old man’s brow. The terrifying aura fluctuations made the grey-robed old man’s mind tremble.
The grey-robed old man’s pupils contracted. Instantly, a breath of death surged through his entire body. He wanted to resist, but found he could not even move. He could only watch helplessly as the Soul Spear pierced through the void, heading straight for his brow.
