Chapter 674 - 664: Not Worthy to Die by My Hand

"I, the Grand General, know you are at the Nascent Soul Stage as well."

The Grand General frowned coldly and said, "But I, the Grand General, have experienced countless battlefields. No matter if it’s spiritual power or battle experience, I am far above you; you are no match for me, the Grand General."

"I advise you not to make a move, lest you lose your life."

"Is that so?" Gu Chenfeng’s lips curled into a dangerous arc, and a more terrifying oppressive aura instantly overwhelmed the Grand General.

The Grand General’s face changed dramatically. Before he could react, he was already pinned fiercely to the ground.

"How is this possible?" The Grand General said with a face full of terror and disbelief, "How can this kid’s cultivation be so powerful?"

"Grand General!" The leader was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

The Black Banner Army and Iron Cavalry were all left dumbfounded, petrified.

No one could believe that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid’s cultivation was actually above the Empire’s Grand General.

"Such powerful strength! I knew it; the Grand General is no match for him. This person was able to slay the Martial King back then and freeze Martial King City; he’s definitely even more terrifying now."

"How frightening! Just with oppressive aura, he can forcefully suppress the Grand General!"

"What level of cultivation does he have? This is too strong, isn’t it?"

Upon witnessing this terrifying scene, the cultivators on the street were all shocked and exclaimed with their eyes widened to the extreme.

Only a few who had seen Gu Chenfeng before knew that his power was incredibly formidable.

Looking at the extremely frightened Grand General, Gu Chenfeng smirked slightly, "Is this all the Empire’s Grand General can do? All those years of battlefield experience, a complete joke."

"Who exactly are you?" The Grand General asked in terror, "It’s impossible for such a genius to exist in the Empire."

"You’re not qualified to know." Gu Chenfeng replied disdainfully, then slowly walked toward the terrified Grand General.

Under the extremely terrified gazes of everyone, Gu Chenfeng struck the Grand General’s skull with his palm.

"Poof!"

With a single strike, the Grand General spat out a mouthful of blood; the spiritual power within him rapidly dissipated at this moment.

The Grand General’s face drastically changed, extremely terrified, "You dare destroy my Sea of Qi!"

He was, after all, the Empire’s Grand General.

How dare Gu Chenfeng cripple him?

While terrified, an overwhelming fury erupted as he snarled menacingly at Gu Chenfeng, "You brat! You have great courage! How dare you destroy my Sea of Qi! I will spare you no mercy!"

"Is that so?" Gu Chenfeng chuckled coldly, not taking the Grand General’s threat seriously at all.

"The Grand General’s Sea of Qi was destroyed by him..."

"This can’t be true, can it? He... he actually crippled the Grand General! Doesn’t he want to live?"

"Who is this kid exactly? Besides the Empire, the Grand General also has the Heavenly Dao Sect behind him. How dare he cripple the Grand General?"

The cultivators on the street looked at Gu Chenfeng both shocked and terrified.

No one dared to believe, nor did they expect, that Gu Chenfeng would actually cripple the Empire’s Grand General!

Indeed.

Gu Chenfeng’s palm destroyed the Grand General’s Sea of Qi and directly crippled him.

His cold gaze then swept over the frightened leader of the Iron Cavalry, and Gu Chenfeng waved his hand without hesitation.

"Boom!"

A terrifying burst of Qi Force instantly turned the Iron Cavalry leader into a cloud of blood mist!

This scene terrified the soldiers to their very core.

The cold gaze then turned to the horrified Grand General, and Gu Chenfeng said chillingly, "You are unfit to be the Empire’s Grand General and are not worthy to die at my hands."

Gu Chenfeng coldly left these words and directly walked past the Grand General.

This was no longer just disdain; it had escalated to humiliation.

This was the result Gu Chenfeng wanted – to cripple him in front of everyone, leaving him to live in regret and pain for the rest of his life.

As Gu Chenfeng spoke, the street fell into a deathly silence.

The soldiers looked at Gu Chenfeng as if they were seeing a demon, not daring to make a sound.

After Gu Chenfeng disappeared at the end of the street, the soldiers hurriedly ran to check on the Grand General’s condition.

"Immediately investigate for me! Lock down Celestial Wave City at once! He must not be allowed to escape!" The Grand General roared furiously.

"At your command!" The soldiers replied respectfully.

At this moment.

A passerby hurriedly said, "Grand General, I just heard, he is the one who killed the Martial King and froze Martial King City back then!"

"What? He’s the kid who killed the Martial King?" The Grand General was shocked, his face turning to stone instantly.

An Iron Cavalry soldier said fearfully, "He... he is Gu Chenfeng?"

"No way? He’s Gu Chenfeng?" The soldiers were dumbfounded.

The one who killed the Martial King, annihilated the Martial King’s Mansion, and froze Martial King City was actually that young man just now.

"Grand... Grand General, he... he is Young Master Feng!" An Iron Cavalry soldier said in terror, "The Young Master Feng who commands respect in the Cultivation Realm! The Young Master Feng from the Medicine God Hall! We can’t afford to offend him! The entire Empire can’t afford to offend him!"

Another soldier said fearfully, "Grand General, I’ve heard that Gu Chen... Young Master Feng is already the strongest in the Cultivation Realm."

"Young Master Feng..." The Grand General was paralyzed with fear, "The Young Master Feng who commands respect in the Cultivation Realm... the strongest in the Cultivation Realm..."

Just moments ago, he wanted revenge, but after learning Gu Chenfeng’s identity, his soul was scared away.

How foolish he was to think of revenge.

Not even the Empire, let alone the Heavenly Dao Sect, would stand a chance and would be killed instead.

If the Grand General can survive, it would be like the sun rising from the west.

He should be thankful that Gu Chenfeng only crippled him and didn’t kill him.

Offending Gu Chenfeng, the Grand General could only admit his misfortune.

Shortly after.

At the entrance of the Xiang Family Mansion.

A guard saw Gu Chenfeng and quickly whispered to the guard beside him, "Look quickly! Isn’t that Young Master Feng?"

The other guard quickly looked over and then said joyfully, "That’s right! It’s Young Master Feng! Young Master Feng has come to our Xiang Family, hurry to welcome Young Master Feng, I’ll report to the Patriarch and Young Master!"

"Patriarch! Young Master! Young Master Feng has arrived!" one person rushed into the mansion, shouting loudly.

One person ran up quickly, suppressing his joy respectfully, "Welcome, Young Master Feng. Please come inside, someone has already gone to inform the Patriarch and Young Master."

"When did Xiang Wentian start cultivating?" Gu Chenfeng asked with a smile.

The guard thought for a moment and answered respectfully, "Two months ago, someone from the Medicine God Hall delivered elixirs. The Young Master started secluded cultivation to avoid disappointing Young Master Feng and just emerged a few days ago, having broken through to the Golden Core Stage!"

Gu Chenfeng nodded and smiled, "Reaching the Golden Core Stage in two months, his cultivation speed isn’t bad."

The guard happily replied, "Indeed, although the Young Master’s talent is not as great as Young Master Feng’s, it’s not much worse than other geniuses. Now with the help of the Medicine God’s elixirs, breaking through the Golden Core Stage was naturally not a problem for the Young Master."

"Not just the Young Master, but our own cultivation levels have also advanced rapidly, greatly strengthening the Xiang Family’s power!"

At that moment.

"Young Master Feng!" Xiang Wentian’s excited shout came from within the Xiang Family Mansion.
