“He’s not dead?”
Looking at the old Taoist in the void above, everyone had to accept the fact that the old Taoist was not dead.
But if anyone was shocked, it was Ghost Face Heavenly Master, for it was he who had struck that blow.
If this man was not dead, didn’t that mean he had been deceived?
“Ghost Face, Mule Camel.”
“You two dare to so brazenly oppress my disciple.”
“Today, you won’t leave alive.”
The old Taoist said with a cheerful smile.
“He’s actually threatening Ghost Face Heavenly Master and Master Mule Camel?”
Although people were surprised that the old Taoist was still alive, hearing him say these words left them incredulous.
After all, in their minds, the old Taoist was still a nobody.
Yet Master Mule Camel and Ghost Face Heavenly Master were, aside from Saint Master Enlightenment, among the strongest realm spiritists in the Saint Light Galaxy.
How could such a nobody dare to speak this way to such figures?!
“Clueless fool.”
“Escaping once by luck, and instead of fleeing, you dare come out to court death?”
Ghost Face Heavenly Master’s face darkened, his killing intent surging. He was ready to strike at the old Taoist again.
And this time, he would ensure no chance of survival.
Swoosh.
But suddenly, the old Taoist struck first.
His hand reached out, grasping lightly toward Ghost Face Heavenly Master across the void.
A wail followed.
Ghost Face Heavenly Master showed pain, his hands clawing desperately at his throat, as if trying to break free.
Upon closer inspection, people saw an invisible, powerful hand gripping his neck, nearly twisting it apart.
His anguished expression showed not just physical pain but torment of the soul.
At this sight, the crowd was horrified. Even experts like Master Mule Camel and Fairy Mu Zhi showed panic in their eyes.
They all knew the one gripping Ghost Face Heavenly Master’s neck was none other than the old Taoist they had previously scorned.
“Ghost Face, don’t blame me for being merciless.”
“This is truly your own doing.”
The old Taoist smiled at Ghost Face Heavenly Master.
With those words, his hand clenched tightly. A crack sounded, and Ghost Face Heavenly Master’s neck was broken.
As the old Taoist released his grip, Ghost Face Heavenly Master collapsed motionless to the ground.
Dead. This first-grade Martial Exalted expert, who had comprehended the fourth level of Dragon Transformation, a powerful realm spiritist, was dead.
The old Taoist had killed him as easily as crushing a chicken.
“This guy!!!”
Many turned pale with fear.
Bang.
Suddenly, a muffled sound rang out, and a figure vanished.
It was Master Mule Camel.
Seeing things go wrong, he crushed a teleportation talisman, hoping to escape.
Buzz.
But almost as he crushed it, the world shifted.
Dazzling light and invisible force poured down from the heavens, enveloping the vast expanse.
It was the dual pressure of martial power and barrier techniques.
“What a powerful barrier technique. Could that be the fifth level of Dragon Transformation?”
Everyone could feel the strength of the barrier technique.
And equally, the strength of the martial power.
The old Taoist had finally revealed his true power to all.
He unleashed the barrier power of the fifth level of Dragon Transformation.
And also the pressure of a second-grade Martial Exalted.
“This old thing, has he regained his former strength?”
“Such a genius truly makes one jealous.”
Sensing the old Taoist’s current aura, Master Tang Chen was overjoyed.
Though he had been close friends with the old Taoist for years and had stayed in contact since the old Taoist was ambushed long ago, the old Taoist had lost everything back then. His current cultivation and barrier techniques were essentially rebuilt from scratch.
At their last meeting, the old Taoist hadn’t yet reached this level of power.
And now, his strength surpassed even his peak from years ago.
Back then, he was only a first-grade Martial Exalted, but now he was a second-grade Martial Exalted.
A scream suddenly rang out.
Then, a figure appeared in the distance.
It was Master Mule Camel.
He hadn’t escaped successfully but was intercepted by the old Taoist’s dual powers.
At this moment, Master Mule Camel struggled frantically, beginning to plead desperately.
“Brother, it’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding.”
“My words may be harsh, but I meant no harm to young friend Chu Feng. Brother, you mustn’t kill the innocent.”
Master Mule Camel, known for his fiery temper, now had none of it left. His cowardly appearance was almost tearful.
It was hard to blame him for his fear.
Having witnessed Ghost Face Heavenly Master killed so easily, how could he, also named, not be terrified?
“Regret now? Why act in the first place?”
“Mule Camel, today’s events are your own doing. Blame only yourself for provoking my disciple.”
With those words, the old Taoist struck with a palm.
The space trembled, and a massive palm descended from the sky.
The power within that palm surpassed the pressure of a second-grade Martial Exalted. It was a martial skill.
The palm descended slowly, yet Master Mule Camel neither dodged nor fled.
Not because he didn’t want to, but because he was bound by the old Taoist’s pressure.
“Spare me, I’ll give you all my treasures.”
Master Mule Camel’s pleas carried a sobbing tone.
But the old Taoist was unmoved.
The giant palm descended, making Master Mule Camel’s figure seem as small as an ant.
Boom.
The earth shook, cracks spreading.
A bottomless pit appeared before the crowd.
Master Mule Camel’s figure was gone.
But his cosmos sack and other treasures lay at the pit’s bottom.
Undoubtedly, Master Mule Camel was dead, and his death was even more gruesome than Ghost Face Heavenly Master’s.
At least Ghost Face Heavenly Master left a corpse.
But Master Mule Camel was reduced to ashes.
Hiss.
Looking at the smoking pit, many gasped in shock.
The image of that descending giant palm lingered in their minds.
Its momentum, its power, its strength.
It made them realise that if he wished, not only would Master Mule Camel die, but everyone present could be killed by that palm.
This was the power of a second-grade Martial Exalted.
A power surpassing supreme-grade martial strength, surpassing even a first-grade Martial Exalted.
“Too terrifying. This is Chu Feng’s master?”
“Who would have thought the Saint Light Galaxy hid such an expert?”
Looking at the old Taoist now, people no longer felt disdain but were filled with fear and awe.
This old Taoist was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
Not only was his strength formidable, but his methods were ruthless.
While others killed with blank faces or grim ferocity, he was different. He maintained a casual smile throughout.
As if killing figures like Ghost Face Heavenly Master and Master Mule Camel, renowned in the Saint Light Galaxy, was a trivial matter.
The old Taoist reached out, and a surge of suction pulled the treasures from Ghost Face Heavenly Master and Master Mule Camel into his hand.
“The two troublemakers have been dealt with.”
“But those of you who insulted my disciple earlier, don’t you owe an explanation?”
After collecting the treasures, the old Taoist scanned the vast crowd below with his narrowed eyes, billions of beings.
“Oh no.”
At his words, the crowd paled, feeling doomed.
Could it be that this old Taoist intended to kill them too?!!
