“You can comprehend it? Then why can’t I? Are you saying I’m inferior to you?”
“Hmph, in my view, you’re just protecting this kid, even lying to yourself,” Song Boqiu scoffed, still insisting he couldn’t sense any power from the treasure.
“Song Boqiu, what exactly are you up to?” At that moment, Liangqiu Chengfeng suddenly spoke up, though weak, his eyes pierced Song Boqiu like swords.
“He wants back the cultivation resources he gave me earlier,” Chu Feng interjected before Song Boqiu could respond.
When Chu Feng spoke, everyone’s expressions shifted, filled with surprise.
It wasn’t what he said that shocked them, but his demeanor.
With Liangqiu Chengfeng gravely injured, Song Boqiu was the strongest here, and now he was targeting Chu Feng, even Liangqiu Chengfeng couldn’t protect him.
Chu Feng was undoubtedly in grave danger, with no one able to help.
A normal person, even if not trembling in fear or panicking uncontrollably, would at least show some distress.
But Chu Feng, not only did he show no trace of panic, he acted as if he weren’t threatened at all, his face utterly calm.
Could this kid really be so fearless, his inner strength so great that he could remain unfazed in such peril?
“Hahaha…”
At that moment, a wild laugh erupted, it was Song Boqiu.
He threw his head back, laughing maniacally, exuding an air of dominating the world.
Suddenly, he stopped, fixing his gaze on Chu Feng, and said, “Since you know what I want, why bother asking?”
“I don’t want to bully a junior, so don’t force my hand, hand it over yourself.”
“Not bully a junior? Then what are you doing right now, Song Boqiu?” The Chu Heavenly Clan leader, dragging his weakened body, stepped in front of Chu Feng.
Though frail, he couldn’t let Chu Feng face this alone.
Even knowing it was like a mantis blocking a cart, he still stood before him.
“You can’t stop me,” Song Boqiu smirked disdainfully at the Chu Heavenly Clan leader, not taking him seriously at all.
“Song Boqiu, I advise you to think twice, if you harm the Chu Heavenly Clan leader and little friend Chu Feng today, I won’t let it slide in the future,” Liangqiu Chengfeng warned.
“Lord Liangqiu Chengfeng, if you weren’t injured, I’d naturally steer clear, but what can you do to me now?”
“I, Song Boqiu, dared to do this because I’ve considered your retaliation, and since I dare, it means one thing, I’m not afraid of you.”
Song Boqiu grinned eerily, his eyes flashing with menace as he continued, “Right now, you can barely protect yourself, so don’t disrespect me, or… I might do something disrespectful to you, my dear Lord Liangqiu Chengfeng.”
“How dare you threaten my senior brother?”
“Try laying a finger on him if you’ve got the guts, my master won’t let you off!” Liangqiu Hongyue pointed at Song Boqiu, furiously rebuking him.
“Hmph, there’s nothing in this world I, Song Boqiu, wouldn’t dare do, little girl, you think I won’t because your master’s stronger than me? Then why don’t you look at Li Taiyi?”
“Isn’t the Li Heavenly Clan leader stronger than me too?” Song Boqiu pointed at Li Taiyi.
“You…”
Liangqiu Hongyue was furious but also a bit intimidated.
Because Song Boqiu had a point, having injured Li Taiyi, he’d face the Li Heavenly Clan’s pursuit, though their strength didn’t match her master’s.
But she couldn’t be sure Song Boqiu wouldn’t act against them, so… she didn’t dare say more, fearing he’d go mad and harm her.
“Song Boqiu, if you want to hurt little friend Chu Feng today, you’ll have to step over me first,” At that moment, the weakened Liangqiu Chengfeng stepped in front of Chu Feng.
Though he lacked the strength to stop Song Boqiu, he showed his resolve to protect Chu Feng.
“Hahaha, Liangqiu Chengfeng, I used to respect you as a figure of note, but I didn’t expect you to be so foolish, do you think you can stop me in your current state?” Song Boqiu asked coldly.
By now, the others present had lost interest in the treasure, helplessly watching the scene unfold.
They all felt Chu Feng was doomed, with no one able to save him.
“Little friend Chu Feng, a wise man doesn’t court immediate loss, it’s just some cultivation resources, better than losing your life, hand them over.”
“Little friend Chu Feng, give them to him, it’s better than suffering, otherwise… it’s not just you, you’ll drag Lord Liangqiu Chengfeng and your clan leader down too.”
Out of options, people began urging Chu Feng.
After all, Song Boqiu hadn’t said he’d kill Chu Feng, if Chu Feng handed over the resources, he could avoid this disaster.
Yet, despite their pleas, Chu Feng shook his head, then stepped past the Chu Heavenly Clan leader and Liangqiu Chengfeng, facing Song Boqiu head-on.
Seeing this, the crowd sighed in relief, assuming Chu Feng was about to yield.
But the next moment, Chu Feng said something that stunned everyone, turning their faces pale.
“Song Boqiu, the sea of suffering is boundless, turn back and find shore, apologize to me now, and I’ll pretend nothing happened, otherwise… even if you kneel and beg, I, Chu Feng, won’t spare you,” Chu Feng said to Song Boqiu.
“Heavens, has he gone mad?”
At that moment, nearly everyone present thought so, even Li Taiyi, who wanted Chu Feng dead, agreed.
None of them expected Chu Feng to provoke Song Boqiu like this in such a situation.
Was he tired of living?
“I think you’re the one tired of living.”
Song Boqiu exploded with rage, roaring as he unleashed a powerful aura, ready to strike Chu Feng.
Feeling Song Boqiu’s pressure, everyone inwardly cried out, thinking Chu Feng was in for it.
Thud—
But suddenly, a muffled sound rang out, and everyone froze, eyes wide with shock.
Because they were stunned to see Song Boqiu, who was about to attack Chu Feng, now… kneeling before him!!!
