The slap was about to land when, suddenly, Qin Feng felt an overwhelming sense of danger.
Yu Fuchen lifted his head, a sinister glint in his eyes revealing that his plot had succeeded.
Qin Feng instantly pulled back his outstretched hand. His body twisted away at an impossible angle, moving like a Spiritual Serpent.
Yu Fuchen opened his mouth, and a dark gleam shot past the spot where Qin Feng had just been standing.
PSST!
The dark gleam pierced a massive boulder in front of Celestial One Mansion. As Qin Feng watched, the boulder instantly dissolved into a puddle of black liquid.
âSuch a potent toxin!â
Qin Feng gasped. A poison this virulent could kill even a Sea Reincarnation Strongman!
âWhat a treacherous bastard, hiding a Poison Needle in his mouth!â
A severe look flashed in his eyes. Qin Fengâs figure flickered, and in the next instant, he appeared before Yu Fuchen.
A flicker of panic crossed Yu Fuchenâs eyes. Qin Feng had actually dodged the Poison Needle!
âNo, I canât fight him directly. I have to outsmart him. Iâll retreat to Celestial One Mansion and use its Restriction Array and traps to grind him to dust!â
A vicious glint flickered in his eyes. With a jolt, Yu Fuchen shot into the air like a phantom, his soaring figure resembling a swimming dragon.
"You think you can run?!"
Qin Fengâs speed surged. In the next moment, he was behind Yu Fuchen. His fingers shot out like lightning and clamped onto one of Yu Fuchenâs legs.
He had caught the swimming dragon by its tail!
âNot good!â Yu Fuchenâs eyes widened in horror, the corner of his eye twitching violently.
A savage grin flashed in Qin Fengâs eyes. He gripped the leg with one hand and, with a deafening crash, swung him 180 degrees and slammed him into the ground!
As his body was flung into the air, panic and terror flashed through Yu Fuchenâs eyes.
For the first time, Yu Fuchen truly felt panicked.
THUD!
The heavy impact shook the very ground.
Yu Fuchen saw stars! An excruciating pain shot through his organs. Forcing himself to endure the agony, Yu Fuchen circulated his Water Attribute True Power, desperately trying to break free from the iron-like grip.
"Tough body! Letâs go again!"
With a chilling smile, Qin Feng gave Yu Fuchen no chance. He lifted him by the leg and once again slammed him into the ground.
THUD!
Yu Fuchen coughed up a mouthful of blood, his True Power dissipating as his headdress broke apart.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Again and again, Qin Feng held Yu Fuchen by one leg and swung him like a windmill. He charged into Celestial One Mansion, using Yu Fuchen as a human club to smash everything in his path.
Smashing people and objects alike!
Utterly savage and brutal!
The woman in the palace dress turned pale with fright.
With his strength alone, he flattened the entire Celestial One Mansion!
With a loud THUD!
A body crashed into the ground like a cannonball!
SPLAT!
Yu Fuchen tumbled to the ground like a dead fish. He lay there, motionless, his gaze vacant. His chest heaved as bloody foam dribbled from his mouth.
Even without looking, the woman in the palace dress knew that every rib in Yu Fuchenâs body was shattered and his internal organs were displaced.
Yu Fuchen would have been beaten to death, if not for his tenacious Life Force and the fact that, as a Concentrated Vein Strong Person, his physique was far stronger than an ordinary personâs.
With a flicker, Qin Feng appeared before the woman in the palace dress. Everything in Celestial One Mansion that could be broken now lay in pieces.
She was the only one left standing in Celestial One Mansion.
Qin Feng glanced at the now unconscious Yu Fuchen. His gaze, as cold and sharp as a blade, landed on the woman in the palace dress.
"Who are you to Yu Fuchen? Are you his lover?"
Qin Fengâs eyes held a menacing glint.
âLover?â
The woman in the palace dress took a half-step back, a flash of anger igniting in her beautiful eyes.
Just as she was about to erupt, the beautiful woman in the palace dress recalled the young manâs brutality. A flicker of unease crossed her face, and she forced herself to remain calm. "Please, donât misunderstand. I am Dongfang Qingli, the Lingbo Cave Master from Bibo Lake, located one hundred li from this mountain!"
"Yu Fuchen and I are merely passing acquaintances. I only came here to ask him for a thousand-year Water Spirit Pearl!"
Dongfang Qingli glanced at the motionless Yu Fuchen on the ground. A trace of pity crossed her face as she looked up and said.
"While I donât know what grievances exist between you and Yu Fuchen, we are ultimately fellow disciples. Why did you have to be so cruel?"
"Fellow disciples?"
Qin Feng laughed. He suddenly pointed at Yu Fuchen at his feet. "Why donât you ask him? When he was scheming against me, turning others against me, did he ever once think about us being fellow disciples?"
"Young Emperor Jin, Ao Fang, Wei Qinghuang, and that powerful expert who inexplicably tried to ambush and kill me with the Chaos Divine Song... If I werenât so capable, Iâd probably have been mysteriously killed by now!"
"And even then, Iâm left with endless trouble! Thereâs a whole mob of powerful experts outside that he lured here, all waiting to pounce on me!"
"So you tell me, how could I possibly let this scumbag off easy?!"
A violent aura seethed within Qin Feng. If it werenât for Yu Fuchen, he wouldnât be in this much trouble.
And now, the troublesome Ao Kun was out there, constantly plotting against him!
Still not satisfied, a fierce light erupted in his eyes. Qin Feng strode forward, seized Yu Fuchen, and slammed him viciously into the ground again.
CRUNCH!
A huge boulder was shattered. Yu Fuchen, covered in blood, collapsed limply amidst the rubble.
Dongfang Qingli fell silent.
Dongfang Qingli was speechless. Had she been the one schemed against in such a manner, she wouldnât have let the matter rest either.
âAh, Yu Fuchen. I warned you long ago. Schemes and plots are trivial pursuits; personal strength is the Wang Dao. But you refused to listen, priding yourself on your cleverness and acting with impunity!â
Sighing to herself, Dongfang Qingli moved to the side.
Qin Feng shot the beautiful woman a cold look, his eyes flashing with brutal rage. "Good. You know your place."
If she had dared to say a single word in Yu Fuchenâs defense, Qin Feng would have crippled her on the spot.
Qin Feng glanced at Yu Fuchen.
All Stars Academy strictly prohibited infighting and killing among its students. He could severely injure the man, but killing him would undoubtedly attract the academyâs attention.
Qin Feng would be mired in trouble then.
This was one of the unwritten rules of All Stars Academy.
A Martial Artist could not lack courage, nor could they shy away from conflict. But they were absolutely forbidden from engaging in Slaughter. Otherwise, All Stars Academy would pursue the matter relentlessly.
Yu Fuchenâs Life Force was exceptionally tenacious. His previously vacant gaze slowly focused, locking onto the youth in the Black Robe. The venom in his eyes was as sharp as a starlit dagger. Though his voice was faint, Yu Fuchen mustered his remaining strength to let out a low, furious growl. "Qin Feng, I, Yu Fuchen, swear that for what youâve done today, this wonât be over until one of us is dead! Itâs you or me!"
"We were already at that point. No need to make empty threats."
A vicious glint flashed in his eyes. Qin Feng strode forward. A wisp of pitch-black Abyssal Demon Qi emerged from his Abyssal Demon Map and coalesced in his palm. He stepped up, pressed his hand onto Yu Fuchenâs head, and quietly infused the Demonic Qi deep into his soul.
Once this Abyssal Demon Qi entered the depths of Yu Fuchenâs soul, it would slowly give birth to a Heart Demon over time.
Troubled by this Heart Demon, Yu Fuchenâs cultivation would come to a complete standstill, unless he could somehow find a way to eliminate it.
Qin Fengâs grim eyes met Yu Fuchenâs venomous gaze for a moment, then he casually tossed the boneless body to the ground.
Without a second glance at Dongfang Qingli, Qin Feng swept his gaze across Celestial One Mansion, his eyes finally settling on Hongyu, who lay unconscious on the ground.
Hongyu had been struck by Qin Fengâs sword, but she was only heavily injured and had fainted.
Qin Feng found two other particularly beautiful Mermaids, gathered the three of them, and transformed into a black streak of light, shooting straight out of Celestial Water Lake.
"Yu Fuchen, Iâm taking these three Mermaids as compensation for your little schemes. If you ever dare to plot against me again, youâd better watch your pathetic life!"
Forced to watch as Qin Feng took Hongyu and the two most beautiful Mermaids, Yu Fuchen was so enraged he spat out blood. He couldnât care less about the other two, but Hongyu was the Furnace Tripod he had spent more than a decade cultivating! For over ten years, she had remained a virgin, using a Secret Technique for Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Essence. Hongyu had offered herself to him on multiple occasions, but he had always restrained himself. And now, she had been carried off by Qin Feng!
Yu Fuchenâs face turned purple. He abruptly coughed up a mouthful of black blood and, unable to bear the shock, finally passed out.
