Chapter 27: Directly Maxing Out Hatred

The people of Longtan Peak all changed their expressions upon seeing this, and even Li Mu furrowed his brows.

Is this Zhao Jianfei, who is registered in the Heaven's Dao Treasure Scroll?

Truly arrogant!

At the Martial Arts Conference, he openly declared he would cripple Zhou Rusong?

"How arrogant!"

Below, Qiu Ning Shui's pretty face also showed a hint of anger, and she coldly said: "The Martial Arts Conference is for exchange; who would so casually cripple someone?"

Qiu Ning Shui's words fell.

The other disciples of Longtan Peak were also filled with indignation, all shouting accusations at Zhao Jianfei on the stage.

Zhao Jianfei stood on the stage, turning a deaf ear, slowly raising three fingers toward Zhou Rusong, his smile growing more playful.

"I give you three breaths to consider!"

"One!"

"Two..."

Zhou Rusong's face suddenly flushed red, his fists clenched tightly, and his body trembled slightly from anger.

Although he felt countless resentments inside, after sensing Zhao Jianfei's overbearing aura of the Ninth-Grade Refining Qi Realm, he could only reluctantly lower his head.

"I admit..."

Zhou Rusong finally chose to concede, and everyone present felt no surprise at the result.

Without Yao Mengzhen, Zhou Rusong managing to defeat one person from Xuan Yue Feng is already quite good.

Especially conceding to Zhao Jianfei, a genius ranked thirteenth on the Heaven's Pride Ranking, is nothing to be ashamed of.

However.

But what happened next shocked everyone present, causing them to stare wide-eyed and jump to their feet.

All that could be seen was that the word 'lose' on Zhou Rusong's side had just reached his lips.

But Zhao Jianfei, standing opposite him, gave a sinister chuckle.

Immediately after, his figure became like a black leopard!

He instantly turned into a black afterimage, appearing instantly before Zhou Rusong.

His clenched right fist, like a cannon fresh from the barrel, bore immense force and slammed into Zhou Rusong's chest.

"Ah!"

Zhou Rusong immediately let out a wail, flying straight off the stage; by the time he landed on the ground, he was bleeding from seven orifices and unconscious.

"Whoosh!"

The entire venue fell silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed and speechless at all of this!

No one would have expected that, even after Zhou Rusong had chosen to concede, Zhao Jianfei would still strike him so viciously.

All that could be seen was that Zhao Jianfei on the stage didn't even glance at the fallen Zhou Rusong; he slightly raised his chin, his gaze sweeping over the Longtan Peak disciples with a contemptuous smile.

"Here with me!"

"Trash!"

"You don't even have the right to surrender!"

"As long as you're trash!"

"Even being alive is a waste of sect resources; it'd be better to become a cripple, thus lightening the sect's burden!"

Humiliation!

Naked humiliation!

Seeing this, the Longtan Peak disciples all had bloodshot eyes, clenched fists, and anger filling their chests.

The essence of the Martial Arts Conference is merely martial exchange between cultivators, with both sides stopping at a touch.

But Zhao Jianfei!

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he launched a barrage of insults, humiliating Longtan Peak in every way!

Moreover, even though Zhou Rusong had clearly conceded, he still dealt such a vicious blow!

Such conduct undoubtedly slapped everyone from Longtan Peak in the face on their own turf!

Zhao Jianfei simply didn't regard Longtan Peak at all!

"Bang!"

Sun Chengwu, seeing this, immediately slammed the table and glared at Qin Siwu: "Qin Siwu!".

"What do you Xuan Yue Feng people mean?"

"It's just a Martial Arts Conference, yet you dealt such a vicious blow!"

"Aren't you afraid I'll report today's events to the sect leader!"

However.

Faced with Sun Chengwu's angry questioning, Qin Siwu merely lifted his eyelids lazily and let out a disdainful snort from his nose.

"Sun Chengwu!".

"Don't slam the table and glare at me!"

"You're not worthy!"

Besides, the Martial Arts Conference isn't child's play; on the stage, fists and feet have no mercy, so it's inevitable that some can't withstand the force and get crippled.

If you feel dissatisfied, you can also let your Longtan Peak disciples cripple our Xuan Yue Feng disciples on the stage.

"I guarantee, no second words!"

"Finally, forgive my bluntness..."

Qin Siwu narrowed his eyes; his voice wasn't loud, yet under the stimulation of his inner force it was transmitted word for word to everyone present's ears.

I think what Zhao Jianfei just said also makes some sense.

Trash!

Even being alive is just wasting sect resources; it'd be better to become a cripple, at least that would lighten the sect's burden.

I believe that after the sect master learns of this, he will not only not blame me,

He might even praise my actions highly!

Hahaha...

For a moment.

Qin Siwu and the Xuan Yue Feng disciples behind him— that piercing laugh suddenly swelled countlessfold!

Moreover, Zhao Jianfei on the stage disregarded the unsightly faces of Sun Qingwu and the other Longtan Peak disciples, stepping forward a pace with an arrogant aura.

Today!

I, Zhao Jianfei, shall be crowned king of martial arts, having won this martial arts assembly!

If any of you disagree, feel free to come up and seek instruction!

He paused, then continued: "If not!"

From today onward, your Longtan Peak shall take my Xuan Yue Feng as supreme!

From now on, when you see our Xuan Yue Feng disciples, you must tuck your tails and walk around them obediently!

Otherwise...

His whole body boiled with killing intent as he roared: "Still such a person!"

At this moment.

Sun Qingwu and the disciples behind him all clenched their fists, the not-so-sharp nails digging into their flesh as if they felt nothing.

Though they felt unwilling and angry in their hearts,

yet they dared not speak out.

With Zhao Jianfei's ruthless method of maiming anyone who disagrees, who would dare step onto the stage to challenge him now?

Especially, Yao Mengzhen, the number one of Longtan Peak's Outer Peak, who is in seclusion, makes it so that no one dares to provoke him.

The situation at this moment!

That truly is: those who follow prosper, those who oppose perish.

Could it be...

Today, are we Longtan Peak to be nailed to a pillar of shame, thus humiliated by Xuan Yue Feng?

Countless Longtan Peak disciples present felt a surge of sorrow, yet facing the ferocious, arrogant Zhao Jianfei,

who could still turn the tide?

This is nothing but the kind of plot found in storytellers' tales!

Like the scenario where, at the critical moment, a single person appears to turn the tide and reverse the outcome.

In real life, where would such a thing happen?

Hehe...

It's merely a clown from Xuan Yue Feng, yet he dares to speak wildly on our Longtan Peak's turf?

Just because of you?

You're still far short!

Just then.

A young voice rang out within the venue; though not loud, it let everyone hear it clearly.

Upon hearing it, everyone was greatly startled!

Even though they knew Zhao Jianfei was in a rage, someone still dared to provoke him with words, heedless of death.

Hearing his words!

It seems he didn't even regard Zhao Jianfei at all!

Such wild talk, even Yao Mengzhen wouldn't dare say!

Who exactly is it?

For a moment.

In the vast martial arts field, everyone's gaze instantly gathered on the youth beside Wu Peipei.

This youth looks only about thirteen or fourteen, clearly a new disciple who has just joined Longtan Peak.

How dare he speak out to provoke Zhao Jianfei?

He truly doesn't know how to write the word 'death'!

Are you crazy?

Still won't shut up!

Wu Peipei beside him, at this moment like a cat with its fur bristling, hastily reached out and grabbed Li Mu.

Just what kind of person is Zhao Jianfei?

Even his elder brother Wu Chengfeng wouldn't dare provoke him!

Moreover, Zhao Jianfei is currently flying off the handle.

To step forward now—this isn't seeking death, what is it?

As for Wu Chengfeng, he merely cold‑sneered in his heart!

This Li Mu kid is nothing but a greenhorn!

Even now you still haven't seen the situation—Elder Zhang and Sun Qingwu of your Longtan Peak aren't speaking, yet you still want to be the one who sticks his neck out?

And after the venue fell into a brief silence, it instantly erupted with a tremendous uproar.

I never expected that, even after Zhao Jianfei had publicly crippled someone, someone would still dare to step up and challenge the platform.

Fellow cultivator, what do you think?

What do you mean, 'how do you see it?'

I came to the training ground before dawn to grab a seat, hoping to learn at least something.

As a result, after just watching one bout, Zhao Jianfei flipped the table and quit.

What else is there for me to watch?

Don't rush!

Hasn't Longtan Peak already sent a disciple to fight? This kid looks unfamiliar; he might be a dark horse from Longtan Peak!

You're overthinking!

What dark horse?

I've heard of this person; he's Li Mu, the newly recruited Outer Peak disciple of Longtan Peak this year!

Wanting to fight Zhao Jianfei, who ranks thirteenth on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, I'm afraid he won't last even a single round against him!

Indeed!

If Zhao Jianfei can't end the fight in one round, I'll eat my words!

I disagree!

This Li Mu is no ordinary Outer Peak disciple; he grasped the Dao before the Dao-Inscription Stele and succeeded instantly!

Moreover, he defeated Qin Zhixiang, the newly risen genius of Xuan Yue Feng, with overwhelming strength in the Heaven Peak Ridge Main Hall, his cultivation reaching the third-grade Refining Qi Realm.

Even if there's a gap, it's not that large!

So...

Based on your esteemed view, fellow cultivator, this Li Mu...

I'll bet on two rounds!

……

As the discussion about Li Mu grew louder inside the training field, almost everyone held the same view.

That is, Li Mu has now stepped forward!

That's basically just sending him to his death, right?

Even the vast majority of Longtan Peak's disciples think so in their hearts.

If we're being honest, we can't blame these Longtan Peak disciples for lacking confidence in Li Mu.

After all.

Zhao Jianfei and the entire Xuan Yue Feng crowd have already been riding on Longtan Peak's neck, defecating and urinating.

Li Mu being able to step forward at this critical moment has already moved countless Longtan Peak disciples deeply!

But this feeling can't fill your stomach!

As for this guy Zhao Jianfei, he's strong as a ghost!

After searching all of Longtan Peak, only Yao Mengzhen is qualified to clash with him.

As for this Li Mu?

His cultivation and battle strength are completely on a different level from Zhao Jianfei's.

And Qin Siwu, sitting on the high platform, let out a cold snort after seeing this.

Li Mu!

I originally planned to draw your lot later, but I didn't expect you, kid, to come forward on your own.

This actually saves me a lot of trouble, unseen.
