Rage!!

Everyone heard his words and looked astonished.

Although Huo Rulie hadn't officially surrendered, anyone with eyes could see he was clearly unable to continue fighting.

Qi Yunlong taking him away didn't strictly adhere to the established "rules," but it wasn't entirely inappropriate. Most people wouldn't have said anything, but this guy... he actually dared to challenge even the Qi Family Head. Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

Upon hearing his words, Qi Yunlong's expression instantly turned grim. The reason he'd suddenly taken Huo Rulie off the stage was partly because he couldn't stand his despicable methods, but the main reason was a telepathic message from Qi Qingyun, which made him disregard the "rules." He never expected this person to be even more arrogant than the rumors suggested!

To be directly questioned like this was something he hadn't anticipated at all...

"Shut up!" Just then, Wang Tianba suddenly stood up, his face dark as he berated Du Kongpo. He couldn't believe how Du Kongpo was acting like a madman today, biting everyone he saw.

He had emerged from the Wang Family's seating area, representing the Wang Family. Anyone with a brain would immediately think that their family had instructed him to stir up trouble, and that his current "confrontation" with Qi Yunlong was a form of retaliation for Qi Yunlong's passive-aggressive remarks after their late arrival, born from dissatisfaction.

After the Wang Family Head's reprimand, Du Kongpo immediately fell silent, like a snail...

"!!!" Seeing Du Kongpo's silence, Wang Tianba's expression darkened further. "You..."

"Heh heh heh... Well played, Wang Family Head! You silenced Du Kongpo with just one word. It seems you have considerable prestige within your family..." Qi Yunlong said sarcastically under his breath.

Wang Tianba wanted to explain, but he realized that explaining might only make things worse. He snorted and returned to his seat.

With a dark expression, he told the butler beside him, "After the competition ends, immediately kick that scoundrel Du Kongpo out!"

"Little sister, let me take a look..."

Xiao Feng approached the severely injured Huo Rulie and spoke softly to the crying young girl beside him.

"Okay..." The little girl timidly moved aside. Xiao Feng took out the antidote pill that Xiao Ling'er had given him from his spatial storage and fed it to Huo Rulie. He then gently placed his right hand over Huo Rulie's eyes, secretly activating his Bright Mystic Force.

Seeing Xiao Feng move his hand away, Situ Hao anxiously asked, "How is it? How's that kid Huo Rulie?"

"Xiao Feng's expression was grave: "This poison is extremely potent. He needs immediate medical attention. I'll take him back to the medical clinic for treatment."

Huo Rulie's sister said urgently, "I want to go too! Take me with you."

"No!" Before Xiao Feng could refuse, Situ Hao sternly stopped her. "Without me by your side, you're very susceptible to Abyssal Dust. I promised your parents I would take good care of you both. Huo Rulie is already severely injured; I can't let you get hurt too."

Situ Yao also comforted her from the side, "Don't worry, Huo'er. Brother Xiao is very capable; he'll definitely be able to cure your brother."

"Mmm... Okay," Huo Ling'er nodded, looking wronged.

Xiao Feng looked at Qi Qingyun, who had followed them over. Seeing her nod, he picked up Huo Rulie and prepared to take him back to the medical clinic for treatment.

But just then, an extremely irritating voice slowly drifted from the stage: "I've heard for a long time about a genius in Flowing Wind City who reached the God Tribulation Realm at the age of six and hasn't broken through since. I've always wanted to see for myself. Would you be willing to come up and let me have a look?"

Du Kongpo's expression was arrogant. While he claimed he wanted to "see," his face was filled with disdain.

As soon as he spoke, everyone's gaze shifted to Xiao Feng.

Feeling the collective attention, Xiao Feng's brows furrowed... Back then, after he broke through to the God Tribulation Realm, he had never competed with anyone. He never needed their approval, so he didn't need to prove anything to them.

Moreover, reaching God Tribulation at six was true, but not breaking through for twelve years was also a fact... It was an unchangeable reality unless he broke through.

After a slight pause, he ignored Du Kongpo. At this moment, Huo Rulie's injuries were clearly more important than engaging in a contest of pride.

"Heh heh heh..." Seeing that Xiao Feng had no intention of going on stage and was even preparing to leave, Du Kongpo sneered, "What, scared to go on stage? I thought you were supposed to be strong. The rumors were true after all. The so-called genius... Hmph, turns out to be just a cowardly piece of trash!"

"Pah! You stinking rat! My Brother Xiao could beat you with one hand! He just doesn't want to stoop to your level. What are you pretending for, huh!" Before Xiao Feng could reply, Qi Panjian, standing nearby, spoke up first, defending Xiao Feng.

"Heh heh..." Du Kongpo let out a cold laugh. "Is that so? If he's really as powerful as you say, why doesn't he come up and spar with me? Beating me with one hand shouldn't... take too long, right?"

"You..." Qi Panjian felt like his lungs were about to explode. Being mocked by this stinking rat, he was about to go on stage himself to teach him a lesson, but Xiao Feng stopped him, gently saying, "Brother Pan, there's no need..."

He turned to face Du Kongpo, his eyes fixed on him, his tone calm yet powerful: "You want to challenge me, I can accept. But after this, later, after I take Brother Huo back to the medical clinic, I will naturally return. How about that?"

Du Kongpo heard this and fell silent for a moment, seemingly agreeing. But then, his eyebrows suddenly lifted in a teasing manner. "What if you don't come back then? Isn't it the same if you come up now?"

"Oh... I get it now." Before Xiao Feng could respond, Du Kongpo suddenly seemed to have an 'epiphany' and said annoyingly, "What... did you suffer some injustice and plan to go back to your lousy medical clinic to find comfort from your sister?"

As if feeling he hadn't added enough 'fuel to the fire,' he continued.

"But I have to say, your sister's figure... tsk tsk tsk... really something else!"

"It's just that her face is average..."

"But... hehehehe... it's all the same with the lights off. How about I visit your clinic next time and see what your sister tastes like?"

"Hahahaha!" He then burst into lewd laughter.

His laughter carried far and was exceptionally clear... because at that moment, not a single person around was laughing, nor was anyone speaking. All that could be seen were grim faces. Almost every one of them had received kindness from Xiao Ling'er... and she treated her patients exceptionally well.

To them, Xiao Ling'er was like an angel in their hearts, and Du Kongpo was insulting their angel. Right now, all they felt was rage.

Seeing that no one around was laughing, Du Kongpo's laughter seemed to abruptly stop due to awkwardness. However, as if he hadn't noticed the 'unusual' atmosphere around him, he continued to ask creepily, "Hey, tell me honestly, have you tried it?"

"Thump..."

"Thump..."

"Thump..."

Qi Panjian felt the increasingly icy aura emanating from Xiao Feng and quietly swallowed. He took large strides and slowly moved away from the grim-faced Xiao Feng.

He knew that although Xiao Feng appeared to have a gentle temper, Sister Ling'er was the most untouchable chord within his heart...

Looking at Du Kongpo, who was still laughing brazenly on the stage, he silently thought, May he rest in peace...

"Patriarch Si..." Xiao Feng directly threw Huo Rulie into his arms and said coldly, "Could you trouble someone to take Huo Rulie back to the medical clinic for me?"

"Alright..." This was the first time Situ Hao had seen Xiao Feng wear such an expression. He was clearly only at the God Tribulation Realm, yet his soul felt chilled.

He couldn't utter any superfluous words and numbly said to the person beside him, "Elder Si, go... take Huo Rulie to the medical clinic."

"Alright... this old man obeys." Elder Si heard his patriarch's words and, as if granted amnesty, quickly picked up Huo Rulie and left.

Only after leaving the Qi Family did he slowly let out a breath.

He shook his head and murmured, "That truly scared this old man to death!"

Recalling Xiao Feng's grim expression just now, Elder Si couldn't help but tremble inwardly. He quickly dismissed the thought and hurried with Huo Rulie towards the medical clinic, leaving this place that made his spine feel cold.

Xiao Feng ascended the martial stage. He wore a simple white robe and white boots. His expression revealed neither joy nor sorrow, but the ruthless glint in his eyes sent shivers down one's spine.

"Hahaha..." Seeing Xiao Feng arrive at the martial stage, Du Kongpo burst into laughter. "You coward, you finally dare to come up. Don't tell me you'll surrender and admit defeat like Huo Rulie when you can't win!"

"Oh..." Xiao Feng replied with suppressed anger, "Hearing your words, I must also remind you: Don't end up being beaten like a stray dog, unable to bear the burden, and surrender to go home to your master."

"Heh heh... Arrogant!" Du Kongpo let out a contemptuous laugh upon hearing Xiao Feng's response.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he slapped his forehead and exclaimed in realization, "You didn't say it, and I almost forgot. Didn't Young Master Qi just say you could beat me with one hand? Indeed, if you're that powerful, I might be even more arrogant than Divine Doctor Xiao if I were you..."

While it sounded like praise, anyone with discerning eyes could tell he was being sarcastic.

One was a rat with a notorious reputation, and the other was a healer who saved lives. If they had to choose, they would undoubtedly side with Xiao Feng, and thus worry about him even more... Now, Du Kongpo deliberately emphasized this matter. Although it wasn't Xiao Feng who said it, if he couldn't achieve it, wouldn't it make him look foolish?

Seeing Xiao Feng's consistently grim expression, he chuckled, "Heh heh, I won't make it too difficult for you. If you can defeat me within ten moves, oh no... twenty moves. If you can defeat me within twenty moves, I'll believe your strength. How about it?"

Seeing Xiao Feng remain silent, he provocatively asked, "Tsk tsk tsk, you... you don't even dare to do that?"

"This is too much!" Boss Wang, who had been treated by Xiao Feng before, couldn't help but scold, seeing Du Kongpo's face full of provocation.

It wasn't just him; many people frowned upon hearing Du Kongpo's words.

Both were at level 10 of the God Tribulation Realm, and the gap between them wouldn't be too large. For Xiao Feng to defeat him within twenty moves was simply a fantasy, yet Du Kongpo deliberately set this condition, coupled with the 'boasting' from Qi Panjian earlier... If Xiao Feng refused, he would appear incompetent, and if he accepted but couldn't achieve it, he would be utterly humiliated.

"Heh..." Just then, a very clear scoffing sound reached everyone's ears, including Du Kongpo, whose face was currently beaming with laughter.

Hearing that Xiao Feng still dared to scoff, the smile on his face froze. Xiao Feng could actually still laugh!

He pressed, "What, Divine Doctor Xiao, have you decided whether to accept my condition?"

"Of course, since you've 'given me a discount,' why wouldn't I accept?" Xiao Feng replied.

"No, Divine Doctor Xiao, how can you agree to him?" As soon as Xiao Feng finished speaking, the crowd in the audience began to worry for him.

"Hahaha..." Seeing Xiao Feng agree, Du Kongpo burst into unrestrained laughter again. "Then it's settled. I hope Divine Doctor Xiao will show mercy then, hahahaha..."

Seeing that both sides were ready, Qi Yunlong stood in the center of the martial stage, cast a barely perceptible glance at Xiao Feng, and then announced loudly, "Begin!"

As soon as the word "Begin" fell, in an instant, Du Kongpo surged forward, arriving before Xiao Feng in a flash. Mystic Force gathered, and a massive fist shadow instantly appeared.

"Shattering Sky Fist!"

With a low growl, the colossal fist shadow slammed down towards Xiao Feng's forehead.

Xiao Feng, however, seemed stunned, showing no signs of dodging.

"Dodge!"

"Exactly, why isn't Divine Doctor Xiao dodging!" "Shattering Sky Fist is Du Kongpo's signature technique! Legend has it that when cultivated to the Mahayana realm, it can shatter the sky with a punch..."

"This... Divine Doctor Xiao, has he only treated illnesses and never seen such fist power, and is he stunned by its might?"

Hearing someone say this, everyone was instantly dumbfounded. His words actually made some sense...

Before Xiao Feng could even worry, the audience in the stands was already anxiously concerned for him.

But the subsequent scene made their pupils contract sharply, because they saw Xiao Feng, facing the approaching fist shadow, finally move. However, he merely slowly raised his right hand and extended three fingers!

"Three fingers? Does he intend to catch the Shattering Sky Fist with three fingers? He... is he crazy!" The crowd in the audience gasped in shock at Xiao Feng's action.

Du Kongpo, seeing Xiao Feng not dodge or defend, merely extend three fingers as a formality, his face lit up with joy. He thought to himself, Originally, I thought I'd need help... This is good too. Let me destroy you with my own hands!!

"Pfft~"

The fist shadow descended. There was no blood splashing, no dust billowing; there were only pairs of eyes widening in disbelief.

"This... this..."

The crowd in the audience stammered, unable to speak. They saw Xiao Feng form his three fingers into a claw and effortlessly catch Du Kongpo's Shattering Sky Fist steadily!

Even Du Kongpo's expression changed drastically. Seeing his Shattering Sky Fist caught, he lost his composure in disbelief and stammered, "This... how is this possible!"

"Three fingers... caught it. This... what kind of strength is this?" Everyone was dumbfounded, staring as if in a dream, lost in thought for a long time.

Clearly, they were both at level 10 of the God Tribulation Realm, yet Xiao Feng had caught that terrifying fist shadow with just three fingers.

The majestic fist shadow, before him, was like... foam, as if anyone could casually catch it.

Xiao Feng sneered, "Don't worry, you'll have a good 'time'!"

He exerted force with his three fingers...

"Crack!"

In an instant, the fist shadow was easily crushed by him!

"!!!" Du Kongpo's eyes widened in shock. Just as he was about to retreat and create some distance, Xiao Feng's hand instantly gripped his. He tried to break free, but Xiao Feng's hand felt like a branding iron; he couldn't budge it even an inch!

Xiao Feng sneered, "Why the rush to leave?"

As he spoke, he tightened his grip. Instantly, the protective Mystic Force on Du Kongpo's body was crushed by Xiao Feng!

Then, he gave a forceful twist...

Crack!

A crisp sound of bone breaking reached everyone's ears. They were shocked to realize that Xiao Feng's casual twist had completely bent and deformed Du Kongpo's entire arm!

"Ahhhhhhh...!"

At this moment, a wretched scream reached everyone's ears. The pain of his entire arm being broken instantly caused Du Kongpo to let out a miserable howl.

Xiao Feng, however, seemed oblivious. He forcefully channeled Mystic Force into Du Kongpo's arm. In an instant, Du Kongpo's entire arm exploded, his meridians and bones pulverized!

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

The explosions continued, and blood and shattered flesh splattered wildly across the martial stage.

"Ughhhhhh!"

An even more piercing scream followed. Clutching his crippled right arm with his left hand, he crouched on the ground. The arrogance on his face had vanished, replaced by the contortion of extreme pain.

Hearing Du Kongpo's agonizing screams, the audience shivered, instinctively gasping.

"I surrender..."

After just one exchange, Du Kongpo knew he had no chance of winning. While he was surprised by Xiao Feng's strength, he couldn't think about that now. All he wanted was to surrender and escape the agony of broken bones and shattered meridians.

But before he could finish speaking, his vision was suddenly blocked by a pair of white boots, which then grew closer...

Bang!

With a muffled explosion, his head, along with his body, was forcefully kicked to the ground, lying on his back.

Foul-smelling blood instantly flooded his mouth. He ignored his injuries and was about to shout "surrender" again, but suddenly the space above him darkened...

Bang!

Like a cannonball, Xiao Feng's white boot stomped down hard on his face. Instantly, the martial stage itself cracked like a spiderweb under the pressure of Du Kongpo's head!

"Ugh... I surr..." He tried to shout surrender again, but suddenly felt the boot on his face twisting back and forth, forcing dirt into his mouth...

"Wuwuwu—!"

He had never suffered such humiliation. Just as he was about to channel Mystic Force to 'fight to the death' with Xiao Feng, the pressure on his head suddenly increased, and the cracks on the ground widened. The Mystic Force he had just summoned was mercilessly crushed by Xiao Feng's foot!

His struggles lessened. He began to wonder why Xiao Feng's Mystic Force, which was clearly at Level 10 of the God Tribulation Realm, possessed such immense power. He couldn't understand!

Xiao Feng stared at Du Kongpo, pinned beneath his foot, his expression fierce, devoid of any victor's joy or a shred of sympathy... He let out a devilish growl, "You refuse to accept a face, Du Kongpo. Let me tell you..."

"You can insult me, and I might spare you some dignity. But insult my Ling'er, and you touch my... anger!"

The entire venue fell silent. They were both at Level 10 of the God Tribulation Realm, and should have been evenly matched.

Even if not, they should have lasted a few moves. But this... this was a complete and utter... annihilation!
