Chapter 556 555: The Blade Exposed, Extreme Rigidity Leads to Fracture
WHOOSH!
The wind carried Ye Feng's voice to everyone present.
Immediately, the area plunged into dead silence, engulfed in an oppressive stillness. Everyone stared at him with incredulous eyes, as if looking at a fool!
To actually say he would make Qin Xuantian his Servant!
Inconceivable! It was truly too unbelievable!
Did this kid have the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard? After witnessing Qin Xuantian's strength, he still dared to utter such words. He was simply courting death!
The strength Qin Heng had just displayed had thoroughly shocked everyone. With just a glance, he had disintegrated the golden flame arrow shot from the Saintly Arms. With a casual palm strike from afar, he caused the Yuan family's Semi-Saint to explode in mid-air; blood rained down, leaving no flesh or bone behind!
Such a powerhouse was practically invincible in the mortal world!
Now, some fellow had suddenly appeared, claiming he wanted Qin Heng to be his Servant. It made everyone wonder if they were hearing things!
"This guy must be crazy!"
"He's really courting death. He must be sick of living!"
"This is hilarious! Doesn't he take a good look at himself? How dare he say such things to Qin Xuantian!"
Many people started whispering among themselves, pointing at Ye Feng, their voices tinged with mockery.
To these people, Ye Feng was clearly a fool; his mind wasn't right. Otherwise, how could he possibly say such things to an existence as powerful as Qin Xuantian? Did he want to die?
Lu Jianjia and Qu Linglong were also stunned upon hearing Ye Feng's words, looking at him with faces full of disbelief.
"This man... he must be Ye Feng, the True Disciple of Tianshi Sect. The latest update from Myth has his information: twenty-six years old, stepped into the Innate Realm three years ago... Where does he get this courage!?"
"How is that possible? If he only stepped into the Innate Realm three years ago, reaching Innate Grand Completion by now would be quite an achievement. But even if he were at the peak of the Innate Realm, he'd still be no match for Qin Heng!"
Now, the two of them had completely shed their earlier anxiety for Qin Heng. They believed Qin Heng's power had reached a supreme level; unless a true Saint descended, no one could possibly be his match.
This person before them, at most, was at the peak of the Innate Realm. Against Qin Heng, who could obliterate a Semi-Saint with a distant palm strike, such strength was akin to an ant's!
Did he no longer wish to live?
"Qin Xuantian, I'll give you three minutes to consider," Ye Feng said, completely unconcerned by the others' stares. He stood there, looking proudly at Qin Heng. "Life or death, it all depends on your decision!"
"True Disciple of Tianshi Sect?" Qin Heng's eyes narrowed as he looked at Ye Feng and said indifferently, "Does your Tianshi Sect wish to be annihilated?"
"Hahahaha! Such a grand temper!" Ye Feng laughed uproariously, looking at Qin Heng as if he were an amusing toy. "Qin Xuantian, I truly hope you still have this temper when you're in my lab!"
"Heh." Qin Heng couldn't be bothered with him. He gave a cold laugh and ignored him. His gaze, flickering with a faint purple light that seemed to pierce the endless void, turned elsewhere. "Zi Can," he said, "you've watched for so long. Aren't you coming over?"
"You dare ignore me!?" Ye Feng was momentarily stunned, then his face turned ashen with extreme anger. Pointing at Qin Heng, he gritted his teeth and said, "Qin Xuantian, do you really have a death wish?"
"Hmm?" Qin Heng's brows furrowed slightly as he glanced indifferently at Ye Feng.
HUM!
That single glance instantly caused the land and mountains within a several-hundred-meter radius to shake; even the void vibrated. A terrifying force condensed in the void from Qin Heng's gaze, forming an invisible giant hand that suddenly crashed down! Furious winds exploded. The sky for over a thousand meters was obscured by dust and sand, and an immense pressure swept down, making the many Semi-Saints present tremble with fear!
My god! Qin Xuantian merely glanced, yet such terrifying power erupted! What level of existence was he? He was simply too strong! Everyone was shocked!
At the same time, their gazes towards Ye Feng were filled with pity. This True Disciple of the Tianshi Sect—who knew what wire was crossed in his head—actually dared to provoke Qin Xuantian! He must be tired of living!
BOOM!!
With an ear-splitting blast, the invisible hand formed by Qin Heng's gaze descended, striking Ye Feng precisely!
"Qin Xuantian, you will pay for what you have done!" Facing the attack, Ye Feng showed no fear. Instead, he chuckled coldly and raised his palm!
HUM!
The void trembled lightly, and streaks of golden light flowed from the back of his hand! These were tens of thousands of golden runes, interwoven row by row and column by column, forming a golden protective light screen that enveloped his entire body. It completely blocked the invisible giant hand, leaving him without a scratch!
He blocked it! Ye Feng had actually blocked the terrifying power contained in Qin Xuantian's gaze! How was this possible? Everyone present was shocked, looking at him in utter disbelief. It was too astonishing!
"Qin Xuantian! Do you see the three runes on my hand?" Ye Feng sneered, lifting his head to look at Qin Heng with contempt. He raised his right hand, displaying the three runes drawn on it, and said with immense pride, "See these? These are the Three Secret Curses bestowed upon me by the Saintly Sect Leader of Tianshi Sect—Golden Light, Curse Arrow, and Lightning Trace! These Saint Realm Secret Curses grant unbeatable defense, unbeatable attack, and unbeatable speed! Qin Xuantian, now you know why I said, 'Who dares claim invincibility, who dares speak of being undefeated?' Because, in this world today, below the Saints, I, Ye Feng, am invincible!"
CLANG!!
At that very moment, the cry of a sword echoed, like an eagle's screech piercing the sky. A bright yet paradoxically dark light, filled with contradiction, swept over from the horizon in the blink of an eye!
BOOM!
As if the heavens were collapsing and the earth shaking, the dark yet bright light tore through Ye Feng's golden shield as effortlessly as ripping through paper!
RIP!
With a sound like something being torn apart, a brilliant spray of blood flashed across the sky, interweaving with the dark light. The hand, inscribed with the three Saint Realm Secret Curses, flew into the air, caught by the dark brilliance and sent soaring high!
"Ah! AAAHHHH!!" Ye Feng screamed. He clutched the stump of his severed right hand tightly with his left, watching in horror as blood spurted out. He fell to his knees with a thud, screaming and crying to the heavens, "My hand! My secret curses! Who! Who did this! Give me back my hand!!"
"So noisy. My old ears can hardly stand it!"
An aged voice, tinged with mockery, came from above the clouds. Yet, it carried an utterly terrifying presence, as if a Dominator of heaven and earth, a supreme king, had descended!
The crowd was first taken aback, then quickly looked up, all stirred with excitement. It was Zi Can, with his crane-white hair yet youthful face, dressed in black imperial Mianfu robes and wearing a tasseled Mian Guan crown! The King of Shang, Zi Can! A Semi-Saint from the Heavenly List!
"This is what's wrong with young people: they're too fond of showing off. Don't you understand the principle of keeping a low profile? The more you shine, the easier you break. As an old man, I've seen plenty of it."
Zi Can chuckled as he looked at Ye Feng, holding the bloody right hand, the three Saint Realm Secret Curses on it faintly glowing. Then, he turned his gaze to Qin Heng and smiled. "Don't you think so, Qin Xuantian?"
