Chapter 656: Chapter 583: Pushing Too Far

"If there are no surprises, he will only use his Magic Cultivation against Cold Front and Emperor Bai," said a spectator watching the competition intently.

"That’s right. As of now, Jiang Ying has been disqualified from the subsequent matches, Wudang’s Yuan Feng and Shaolin’s Shi Yongsheng have perished, and it’s unlikely that the Supreme Heir of the Buddhist sect and the Lv Family demon will clash with him fiercely. Hence, only Cold Front and Emperor Bai are left," another spectator added.

After a brief silence, the Tian Shan Sword Sect plaza buzzed with excitement once more. Everyone looked at Ye Fan standing proudly on the stage, whispering and sharing their thoughts with one another.

In the spectator seats, many competitors had complex looks when they glanced at Ye Fan.

Xiao Selang, the Martial Arts genius of Tian Shan Sword Sect, felt this the most.

Three months ago, he had suffered a setback at the hands of Ye Fan, but instead of being crushed by it, he grew more determined and improved his strength.

Initially, he thought he could use the opportunity of the Qing bang competition to wash away his past shame. Now, it seemed an immense irony—Ye Fan, relying just on his Martial Arts Cultivation, could defeat the absolute dominator of the Half-step Gang Qi realm, securing a spot among the strongest of the younger generation!

Whoosh!

While everyone harbored their thoughts, Elder Gu moved with Qi Manipulation Flight, reaching Ye Hei’s side in an instant.

Ye Fan’s last punch, not only utilized the ’Qi Rushes to the Sky’ Third Level, but it also contained his terrifying physical strength, making the punch overwhelmingly powerful, causing serious injury to Ye Hei.

At this moment, Ye Hei had a split palm, various bones in his body displayed hairline fractures, and his internal organs were shaken.

"Here is a Nirvana Pill. Take it and use your Power to catalyze it for healing your internal injuries. For external wounds, just apply Golden Healing Pill powder," Elder Gu said as he descended, taking out a Nirvana Pill and a Golden Healing Pill, handing them both to Ye Hei.

"Thank you, Elder Gu," replied Ye Hei, who took the pills, immediately consumed the Nirvana Pill on the spot, then crushed the Golden Healing Pill, sprinkling its powder on his torn palm. The bleeding ceased at once, and the wound began to close at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

After treating his external injury, Ye Hei didn’t rush to catalyze the effects of the Nirvana Pill. Instead, he stood up, cupped his fists towards Ye Fan on the stage, and said, "Brother Ye’s combat experience is astonishing. I, Ye Hei, am thoroughly convinced by my defeat."

"You’re too kind," Ye Fan replied.

After previous matches, Ye Hei would throw down harsh words, threatening to assassinate his opponents in real life, but he did not do so to Ye Fan, which slightly surprised Ye Fan. However, he didn’t dwell on it and simply smiled and returned the gesture with a bow.

"Brother Ye, I look forward to your battle with Emperor Bai!" Ye Hei, seemingly penetrating Ye Fan’s thoughts, indirectly revealed this prediction, then without waiting for a response, he quickly walked to the side, picked up the Dark Sect’s treasure ’Dark Blade,’ and left the plaza straightaway.

Clearly, he was seeking a place to catalyze the power of the Nirvana Pill, to heal his injuries as quickly as possible to avoid being unable to recover and bring out his full strength for the later matches.

"Not only Ye Hei, but now everyone must be eagerly anticipating the life-and-death battle between the Evil Emperor’s Disciple and Little Saber King Bai Di, right?" a seasoned cultivator in the crowd said with a laugh, sparking agreement from the others. Everyone voiced their impatience, not willing to wait even a moment longer.

All this made Cold Front, who was seated in the spectators’ area, look a bit displeased.

As the top figure of the younger generation in the Yanhuang Organization, Cold Front was once hailed as one of the ’Twin Prides,’ alongside Emperor Bai. However, as Su Liuli demonstrated the strength of an entry-level Gang Qi cultivator and with Ye Fan’s dazzling performance, he gradually faded from people’s attention.

For the crowd, he was nowhere near as intriguing as Ye Fan, Su Liuli, and Emperor Bai!

This naturally irked him!

"Due to Yuan Feng’s death in a previous match, Emperor Bai’s battle with Yuan Feng is declared a walkover, granting Emperor Bai a direct victory and 3 points," Elder Gu announced, returning to the stage after Ye Fan had left, and spoke in a solemn tone. "Next, the fourth match will commence between Yanhuang Organization’s Cold Front and Lv Family’s Lv Zhan. Please, both contestants come to the stage!"

"Brother Lv, give it your all," someone shouted encouragement.

Ye Fan smiled and patted Lv Zhan on the shoulder, offering encouragement.

"I’m not as freakish as you guys are, I can only do my best."

Lv Zhan forced a smile, bitterness lacing his expression. Leng Feng was much stronger than him; the possibility of winning seemed near impossible, but he would fight with all his might.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lv Zhan stood up, ready to leap onto the stage.

However—

Before Lv Zhan could make a move, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly echoed throughout the venue.

"You’re not even worthy to be my opponent!"

Leng Feng spoke without stirring from his seat. He sat upright with his chest out, slowly speaking without once glancing at Lv Zhan.

At this moment, Leng Feng exemplified arrogance to the fullest extent!

He was using this method to tell everyone that he was among the most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation in the Yanhuang Organization, one who could contend with Emperor Bai as part of the pair of prodigies!

"Leng Feng, what do you mean by that?"

Lv Zhan glared at Leng Feng and shouted angrily.

He didn’t believe he had offended Leng Feng, yet Leng Feng was humiliating him in public like this—it was something he couldn’t tolerate!

Not just Lv Zhan, even Ye Fan frowned. There’s an unspoken rule about not hitting someone in the face and not ridiculing their weaknesses, yet Leng Feng showed no regard for Lv Zhan’s dignity!

"It’s nothing personal, just stating a fact. Also, a reminder for you that this battle doesn’t need to happen, to spare you from seeking further embarrassment," Leng Feng said nonchalantly as if discussing a trivial matter, his arrogance clearly on display.

"Leng Feng, you’ve gone too far!"

Upon hearing this, Lv Zhan roared and with a push against the ground, he leapt onto the stage in two steps.

With his actions, he was telling Leng Feng and everyone else that he would not admit defeat!

"If you wish to be humiliated, then I’ll fulfill your wish."

Observing this, Leng Feng’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He then chuckled, stood up, took a step forward, and Gang Qi surged forth, forming a vague shadow of a True Dragon circling behind him, which made him appear both mysterious and powerful.

Whoosh!

After one step, Leng Feng stood on the stage. His body radiated terrifying War Intent, making him seem like a war king descending to earth, sending shivers down the spines of onlookers.

Even before the match began, he used the characteristics of the Yanhuang Fist to instantly amplify his aura and War Intent to the limit.

In an instant, the terrible aura and War Intent merged, rolling towards Lv Zhan with crushing force.

It was a strategy to subdue the enemy without fighting!

This was the highest realm of War Intent.

Although Leng Feng hadn’t yet comprehended this level, at this moment, he was attempting to use his aura and War Intent to overpower Lv Zhan into admitting defeat in public.

Lv Zhan felt like there was a mountain pressing against his chest, an extremely uncomfortable sensation.

"Think I’ll concede? No way!"

Lv Zhan bellowed, his aura surging dramatically as he resisted Leng Feng’s oppression. His expression furiously cold as he glared at Leng Feng, he looked as if he was prepared to fight to the end.

"Three breaths for preparation time."

Witnessing the scene unfold, Elder Gu, fearing a life-and-death battle between the two, hastily interjected. Then, without waiting for the three breaths to pass, he immediately announced the start of the match.

Whoosh!

As Elder Gu’s voice fell, Lv Zhan, seething with anger, flashed forward, wielding the Lv Family’s Inheritance Spear, and charged directly at Leng Feng.

Leng Feng stood proudly, one hand behind his back, exuding the demeanor of a formidable contestant.

"Take this, Grandpa’s spear!"

In the blink of an eye, Lv Zhan had closed the distance to less than fifty meters from Leng Feng and suddenly bellowed.

After the roar, Lv Zhan’s momentum reached its peak. With one step, he charged forward like a general in the ancient battlefields, half man, half horse, his right hand transforming into a spear, thrusting with all his might!

Heaven Piercing!

The moment Lv Zhan made his move, he unleashed his strongest Killing Move!

Whoosh!

Qi Rays surged from the tips of Lv Zhan’s fingers, morphing into a massive spear that shimmered with light and emitted terrifying energy fluctuations, whistling as it pierced towards Leng Feng.

"Even rice grain pearls shine!"

Faced with Lv Zhan’s strongest Killing Move, Leng Feng didn’t dodge; instead, he snorted coldly and threw a punch!

A wild burst of Gang Qi erupted from Leng Feng’s right fist, transforming into an ancient battle car, stretching five meters long and three meters wide, and collided head-on with the incoming spear.

This punch wasn’t imbued with ’Yanhuang’s Fury’ from the Yanhuang Fist, but it was still extremely terrifying. Not only did it manifest a Gang Qi Battle Car, but it also contained an overwhelming War Intent.

In an instant, the spectators felt as if they had been transported back to the Bronze Age, witnessing the war scenes of that era.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed as the Qi Ray Spear punched a hole through the Gang Qi Battle Car, then exploded into pieces.

The shattered Gang Qi Battle Car completely disintegrated into nothingness, but it helped Leng Feng block the sweeping Energy Wave.

Whoosh!

At the same time, Lv Zhan quickly withdrew, dodging the Energy Wave.

"Your attack ends here!"

Witnessing this scene, Leng Feng let out a cold laugh, and then, completely ignoring the still lingering Energy Wave, he charged straight towards Lv Zhan – the epitome of dominance!

Crackle and pop!

The next moment, Leng Feng’s body crashed into the Energy Waves that had yet to dissipate, and all were dispersed by his Protective Aura, the sound of shattering continuously ringing out!

"..."

Witnessing this scene, whether it was the cultivators outside the ring or the competitors in the audience stands, everyone was dumbstruck!

Even the strong people showed signs of being moved!

Leng Feng was far stronger than they had anticipated!

"Heaven Piercing!!"

Seeing Leng Feng rapidly approaching, Lv Zhan roared, intending to use his Killing Move again.

"You want more?"

Leng Feng shouted explosively, his speed suddenly surged. Before Lv Zhan could swing his spear again, Leng Feng appeared in front of him and launched a punch!

Bang!

With one punch, Gang Qi surged around Leng Feng’s right fist, striking Lv Zhan squarely in the chest and shattering all of Lv Zhan’s Protective Aura.

The next moment.

Leng Feng didn’t wait for Lv Zhan’s body to fly back; his left hand lashed out like lightning, snatching Lv Zhan’s neck as easily as reaching into a bag, and hoisted him up like a little chicken.

Slap!

Before Lv Zhan could struggle, Leng Feng slapped his face forcefully.

This slap was meticulously controlled by Leng Feng: he did not burst Lv Zhan’s head, nor did he make Lv Zhan’s face cave in—just left five clear finger marks.

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

...

After one slap, it seemed Leng Feng was not yet satisfied. His right hand swung back and forth like a father punishing his son, delivering several more resounding slaps in an instant.

"Enough! This match is considered Xiao Zhan’s loss!"

In the audience stands, the Lv Family Patriarch, Lv Yuan, could no longer stand idly by, he abruptly stood up and shouted.

"Slap–"

Upon hearing these words, not only did Leng Feng not stop, but he also sneered and intensified his slap, directly hurling Lv Zhan off the ring.

"Leng Feng, you’re going too far!"

This time.

Before the Lv Family Patriarch Lv Yuan exploded in anger, Ye Fan stood up and roared furiously.

With his keen eyesight, he could tell that Leng Feng was deliberately humiliating Lv Zhan— given Leng Feng’s strength, he could have ended the match with a single close-range punch!

But Leng Feng deliberately chose not to do so. Instead, he controlled his Gang Qi just right, only breaking Lv Zhan’s Protective Aura, then lifted Lv Zhan and ferociously slapped his face.

Because Leng Feng did not use Gang Qi when slapping and also carefully controlled his physical strength, according to the rules, Elder Gu could not intervene—only when a competitor’s life was in danger would Elder Gu step in to stop the match!

"Going too far? He asked for it!"

Leng Feng sneered coldly, and then, seemingly provocatively, said, "If you’re not convinced, feel free to come up and fight!"
