No probing, no preamble—he would stand before it immediately, granting it no chance to flee!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the thing did not seem to want to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-clad figure turned and “looked” at him, then charged back with even fiercer momentum, showing him not the slightest respect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A clash of needle against wheat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Air currents engulfing the entire city exploded and surged through the skies above Fenghuai, tiles flew, trees snapped, and those below could barely stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his descent, the Immortal Lord had never before faced such power head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had often bestowed this feeling upon others—watching them crumble beneath his fist—yet now, for the first time, he himself felt the impact of a mountain charging at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muscles of his punching arm were stretched and deformed; had they been less resilient, they would have shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was violently thrown backward, instantly returning to the tower where he had stood moments before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dug his claws into the wall to halt his retreat, but the wall crumbled like tofu beneath his grip—he drifted backward several zhang before finally stabilizing in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Muzhou shook his black robe, and the scattered energy slowly flowed back into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Tianlou’s “Heaven and Earth Share One Force” punch—the first time since the Immortal Lord’s giant claw had stepped onto this tower that he had been pushed beyond the borders of Fenghuai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Immortal Lord gazed at the black-clad elder far away; in his energy vision, the man blazed like a radiant sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Muzhou waved his hand, and the thousands of furious azure flames shattered like fireworks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he did not look at the Immortal Lord—he lowered his head, coughed twice, and opened his palm toward a street below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>North Bridge Head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, the sky was as dark as dawn; the wind pressed Pei Ye’s loose hair and robes tightly against his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shoved the copy into his waistband, swung onto his horse, and rode grim-faced toward the county office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s arrived,” the black cat said beside him, watching the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This sudden change in weather—he caused it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. Such power… clearly Tianlou. Mingqi Heaven cannot stop him,” the black cat said. “But good news—he’s preparing to destroy the city, not heading straight for the office. That means he hasn’t found the ‘Binglu.’ We must hurry—get Xie Wuchou out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ye did not think this was good news, but he too wanted to get the old man out quickly, so he spurred his horse harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hooves thundered; the streets were empty. Suddenly, a drop of rain splattered on his face—Pei Ye jolted. The rain was viscous, and this familiar sensation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cheek burned sharply; a tiny azure flame had vaporized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat raised a fire shield, enveloping man and horse; every raindrop that struck it hissed and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry,” it urged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ye glanced up at the sky, his heart sinking—how many had already been poisoned by the dragon’s saliva, scattered this way across the city?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he rode, a house beside the road suddenly opened its door. A girl peeked out, wrapped in a large coat, calling two small black dogs back inside from the eaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ye’s sharp eyes caught it—the two black dogs had already been drenched. Their pupils and paws were stained azure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Close the door and get inside!!” he shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl startled, peering at him blankly—her ears filled with wind and rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then the two dogs turned, their four golden eyes cold and merciless, crouching to pounce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl reacted with startling speed, as if she’d seen this before—in the instant she saw their azure faces, she yanked her arms shut, slamming the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late—a claw of azure flame shot through the crack, and with the girl’s scream, the dog violently forced its way in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ye reined his horse, hand on his sword, ready to leap—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t waste time!” the black cat snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bullshit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black shadow shot forth like lightning, smashing through the window into the room; after but a breath, blue flames erupted within the doorway, blasting out two charred forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black shadow flashed out, smashing through the window—within a breath, blue fire erupted inside the house, blasting out two charred forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Limbs twitched faintly; embers still glowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat leapt back onto the horse: “Don’t slow down! Go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ye spurred his horse harder—but moments later, he yanked the reins to a sudden stop in the middle of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black cat did not urge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man and cat sat in silence, staring upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the direction of the county office—just two streets away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the sky had torn open, golden sunlight poured through—and from that light, a black-clad figure slowly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the winds and clouds of the city surged toward that black robe, like a hundred birds bowing to the phoenix—even the flame flowers rushed toward it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monstrous, terrifying form, squeezing the air into explosion, charged forward; even the mightiest human, before this size, seemed a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its speed and momentum felt capable of shattering even a mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the black-clad figure turned his head, raised one hand—and all the dark qi around him condensed into that fist. He shot forward with equal ferocity, meeting the charge head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One punch—sent the roaring form hurtling back faster than it had come!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ye breathed lightly, gazing—familiar, yet strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Autumn chill bit hard, rain and wind lashed—yet the old man wore only a thin black robe, now soaked through. His posture stood straight, like a resilient pine wrapped in black cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked down sideways, toward the rider two streets away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[70] The old man gazed at the boy below, panting, head raised, eyes wide with confusion and worry, and smiled: “Bring me your sword. Today, I’ll teach you how to use this weapon.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1291,"2026-06-20T13:17:09.438Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","bd863425e486ecf6c67b8ad99810cc907ac9980016968e3a0040e9bcb7a5d690","lord-of-the-immortal-food-chapter-84","lord-of-the-immortal-food-chapter-82",771,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flord-of-the-immortal-food-cover.jpg"]
