Chapter 269 - 269 269 Terrifying Strength

Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Terrifying Strength Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Terrifying Strength Seeing Feng Wuchen’s icy gaze, the senior members of the Xiao family were all startled.

Xiao Qingshan’s face was filled with fear, a fear of Feng Wuchen.

Even Xiao Ran felt a surge of wariness in his heart.

Xiao Tianchen now felt endless regret. If only he hadn’t been so heartless that year, even if he had major grievances against Feng Zhengxiong, he should have found time to visit Feng Wuchen. The grudges of the previous generation should not have been passed on to the next. After all, wasn’t Feng Wuchen his own grandson?

If Xiao Tianchen hadn’t been so heartless back then and had taken the time to visit Feng Wuchen, perhaps the relationship between the two families would not have deteriorated to this extent.

Moreover, the Xiao family could have been the envy of countless others because of Feng Wuchen’s existence, and they might even have become the overlords of Jiuzhou.

Xiao Tianchen had a bitter expression on his face, looking as though he had aged decades, the taste of regret making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Sigh…” The Great Elder Xiao Yuanshan sighed helplessly and shook his head.

The Xiao family had brought this situation upon themselves and had no one to blame but themselves, let alone Feng Wuchen.

“Such talent, so many transcendent forces would compete to have him, yet the Xiao family did such a foolish thing. The old Family Head must regret it so much that his guts are green,” the Sect Master of the Fenglan Sect shook his head.

“Not even recognizing his own grandson, it’s no wonder Feng Wuchen has severed ties with the Xiao family.”

“So heartless and ungrateful, if it were me, I would also sever ties with the Xiao family,” another commented.

“Not to mention Feng Wuchen is his grandson, Xiao Qingqing is also his biological daughter. To expel his own daughter from the Xiao family is too cruel.”

On the second floor private rooms, many family heads and high-level figures from various powers were discussing animatedly.

Although the Feng family had severed ties with the Xiao family, as long as the Xiao family did not make a move, Feng Wuchen would not act against them.

Regardless, that was still Xiao Qingqing’s family. Even if Wuchen was as cold-blooded and ruthless as they come, he would not destroy the Xiao family, as he wouldn’t want Xiao Qingqing to suffer because of them.

Without a response from the Xiao family, Feng Wuchen was too lazy to waste more words.

Xiewang Sect stood down, the Xiao family remained silent, and Feng Wuchen had no grudges with the Fenglan Sect. Now, his greatest enemies were Zangling Valley and Murong Tian.

Behind Murong Tian was the powerful Nangong family.

Murong Tian, being the grandson of the Nangong family head, was known to all the powers in Jiuzhou. And they also knew of his terrifying strength—one of the proud prodigies of the Kyushu Heavens, ranked second among the young generation!

The strongest talent in Jiuzhou was none other than the Fenglan Sect Young Sect Master, universally recognized as the most powerful prodigy in Jiuzhou. His cultivation had reached the fifth layer of Tianyuan Realm, his strength nearly on par with the Fenglan Sect Master!

The fact that Murong Tian ranked second just goes to show how strong he was.

“Feng Wuchen, make your move!” With a ferocious gaze fixed on Wuchen, Beiming River coldly shouted, his terrifying aura of killing intent spreading continuously.

“Whoosh!”

With a cold laugh, Feng Wuchen’s figure flew out of the auction, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in the skies above Divine Pill City.

Beiming River, along with Beiming Kong and the top powerhouses and prodigies, also appeared in the sky one after another.

None of them wanted to miss the battle between Feng Wuchen and Beiming River.

All the powerhouses in Jiuzhou wanted to see just how terrifying Feng Wuchen’s strength was.

However, in the hearts of the crowd, not many actually believed Feng Wuchen could defeat Beiming River.

Beiming River’s reputation resounded throughout Jiuzhou, and there weren’t many who dared to provoke him!

Within the auction house, powerhouses from families and powers all across Jiuzhou emerged like ants from their nest, swarming out in a dense mass.

To get a better view of the battle, many powerhouses quickly made their way to the tops of buildings. In less than a minute, a vast array of cultivators almost filled every building in Divine Pill City.

Divine Pill City was teeming with powerhouses!

“Beiming Kong, if you gang up against us, don’t blame me for not remembering our past acquaintance!” Shen Dan Master shouted angrily from the sky at Beiming Kong.

Although Shen Dan Master’s cultivation was only at the second layer of Tianyuan Realm, far inferior to Beiming Kong and the others, he still had the energy to speak out!

“Shen Dan Master, I alone am more than enough to kill Feng Wuchen!” Beiming River said coldly, very confident in his own strength.

“Buzz buzz!”

An extremely terrifying force suddenly burst forth from Beiming River’s body, his entire being shining with dazzling white light, waves of energy churning the heavens. The intimidating force reverberated through the void, and his powerful aura was full of deterrent power.

The formidable strength of the fifth layer of Tianyuan Realm was fully unleashed!

Seeing Beiming River’s vicious posture, it was clear that he intended to make quick work of the fight, to defeat Feng Wuchen as swiftly as possible.

“Indeed, Beiming River’s strength is not simple; there are not many among his peers who can defeat him. Feng Wuchen is undoubtedly courting death,” Nangong Tianhen praised, holding Beiming River in high esteem.

“Having secluded himself for nearly a year, Beiming River has improved his strength by quite a bit!” Xiehun Sect Master frowned, his mind filled with trepidation.

“Sect Master, Beiming River’s strength may be no less than yours. This presence is extraordinary,” the Great Elder of Xiewang Sect furrowed his brows, shocked by Beiming River’s strength.

Xiehun Sect Master did not reply, but his expression grew even more solemn.

Shen Dan Master frowned deeply, worriedly saying, “With Mr. Beiming River’s strength so formidable, I’m afraid the Divine Elixir Emperor may not be his match!”

“That remains to be seen. The Divine Elixir Emperor has no fear of Zangling Valley. If he didn’t have the strength, why would he settle accounts with Zangling Valley now?” Chu Changkong spoke seriously, eyes fixed on Feng Wuchen’s undaunted expression. Chu Changkong actually had some confidence in Feng Wuchen.

The Xiao family’s upper echelon was silent, but their eyes were fixed on Feng Wuchen, equally curious about the extent of his strength.

The numerous cultivators watching the battle in Divine Pill City were frightened into cold sweats by the terrifying power of the Beiming River, filled with utter terror.

“Beiming River’s strength is so terrifying, Wuchen is absolutely no match for him.”

“The only one who could possibly contend with Beiming River is probably Nangong Tianhen!”

“Wuchen killed Beiming Kong; his strength should not be underestimated. He dares to face Beiming River—perhaps he truly has such strength!”

The countless cultivators expressed their views, eagerly anticipating this battle and Wuchen’s strength.

In the high sky, the fearsome strength of the Tianyuan Realm Fifth Layer spread with the momentum of a landslide and a tsunami, causing the void to howl with fierce winds.

An extremely vicious killing intent emanated from within Beiming River.

“Wuchen! Today is your day of death!” Beiming River shouted angrily, confident in his ability to kill Wuchen even without seeing his cultivation level.

Wuchen didn’t speak, but his aura began surging rapidly!

“Buzz buzz!”

The Dragon Clan’s bloodline power was fully stimulated, spreading an exceedingly strong aura.

“The Tianyuan Realm Second Layer!” Feeling Wuchen’s aura, the powerhouses from various forces were greatly astonished.

Wuchen is merely at the Tianyuan Realm Second Layer? How could he possibly contend with Beiming River with such strength?

“A Tianyuan Realm Second Layer cultivation, even if capable of killing Beiming Kong, certainly couldn’t face Beiming River. Wuchen is courting death!” Nangong Tianhen said with a face full of astonishment.

“Has this kid gone mad? Daring to make a move at the Tianyuan Realm Second Layer? Does he have a death wish?” The Xiehun Sect Master was also taken aback, shocked that Wuchen would dare to fight Beiming River despite the great disparity in their cultivation levels.

“Hmph! I thought this kid was somewhat strong, but he’s just at the Tianyuan Realm Second Layer. I want to see how he dies!” Xiao Ran sneered disdainfully, taking pleasure in Wuchen’s predicament.

“This… this…” Chu Changkong and others were instantly dumbfounded, unable to articulate their thoughts.

“This is troublesome!” The Shen Dan Master became extremely worried. Chu Changkong’s previous confidence in Wuchen instantly disappeared; they had not anticipated Wuchen to be only at the Tianyuan Realm Second Layer.

“Wuchen is only at the Tianyuan Realm Second Layer? He’s literally seeking death!”

“I… I’m not seeing things, right? The Tianyuan Realm Second Layer?”

“Has Wuchen lost his mind? To dare engage Beiming River while only at the Tianyuan Realm Second Layer?”

“Can’t say for sure! Beiming Kong was at the Tianyuan Realm Third Layer, his strength comparable to the Fourth Layer; if Wuchen could kill him, his strength must be extremely formidable!”

The countless cultivators were also in a state of shock, none of them had expected Wuchen to be merely at the Tianyuan Realm Second Layer—facing the terrifyingly powerful Beiming River was like hitting a stone with an egg.

Where did Wuchen get the confidence from? To dare fight against the Tianyuan Realm Fifth Layer while at the Second Layer?

“Hmph! Is this the best you can do?” Beiming River scoffed, his eyes filled with contempt.

But just as everyone was shocked by Wuchen’s apparent weakness, an even more fearsome power erupted from within him.

“Buzz buzz!”

The power of the Supreme Body Second Stage surged forth, and a strange, bloody aura rose up around Wuchen’s body, which was then also enveloped by blood light.

Wuchen’s aura skyrocketed crazily, instantly surpassing the Third Layer of the Tianyuan Realm, swelling massively and vastly.

Feeling the extreme, violent, and immense power coming from Wuchen, the whole place instantly fell silent.

Everyone stared in shock, amazed by the terrifying power Wuchen had unleashed.

“Wuchen’s strength has increased by a whole level!” Exclaimed the Family Heads and other top powerhouses, utterly shaken.

The Xiehun Sect Master said in alarm, “This isn’t True Yuan power! Wuchen’s combat power is definitely on par with the Tianyuan Realm Fourth Layer!”

“An extraordinary aura! It seems Wuchen is not as weak as we imagined!” The Fenglan Sect Master said gravely.

Murong Tian’s expression became slightly stern, as he thought to himself, “Wuchen’s strength has also increased significantly; deploying the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower might enable him to contend with Beiming River.”

The disdain in Beiming River’s eyes vanished at that moment, his brow furrowing slightly.

Just as the crowd was shocked by the sudden surge in Wuchen’s cultivation, the next scene shocked them even more!

“Kylin Armor!” Wuchen uttered in a low shout, summoning the Kylin Armor.

A pair of black wings appeared out of nowhere on Wuchen’s back, emanating a horrifying aura of brutality and bloodthirst, instilling fear in those who felt it.

Once the Kylin Armor was summoned, Wuchen’s combat power surged once again, his aura becoming even more terrifying, and he reached the level of the Tianyuan Realm Fourth Layer!

“Wuchen’s power has risen again!”

“Is that a magical artifact? How else could he increase his combat power so substantially?”

“Wuchen can still boost his combat power? Is he a monster?”

The crowd erupted in shock, their exclamations thunderous, as Wuchen’s released power scared everyone in Divine Pill City witless.

The upper echelons of the five major forces, the Shen Dan Masters, and Chu Changkong were so astonished they nearly popped their eyes out.

Wuchen’s combat power had increased by two whole levels!

“Combat power of the Tianyuan Realm Fourth Layer!” On Beiming River’s face now appeared shock and disbelief.
