I'm This Strong-Shouldn't I Have a Big Mouth?

Not only did he have a Sage Remnant Soul as his master, but Ou Haochen himself also had top-tier talent.

Saint-grade Low Grade Aptitude—across the entire Eastern Domain, he stood like a pyramid's peak.

If he grew normally, his future achievements would be limitless!

He could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Holy Sons of the holy lands!

Saint-grade Low Grade Aptitude—aptitude fit for a Sage!

Thirty thousand years ago, in the era of Great Emperor Xuanhuang, this sort of talent wasn't hard to find.

The top geniuses of the Supreme Dao Holy Land were mostly destined to become Sages!

But in the current Age of Dharma's End, aptitude fit for a Sage was incredibly rare. You might not find one in a million!

Because the Heaven and Earth Law suppressed them, people who might have been born with the aptitude to become Great Sages or even Quasi-Emperors thirty thousand years ago were now suppressed to Saint-grade Low Grade Aptitude!

Born in the wrong era, and it affected your whole life.

To change that, the Age of Dharma's End would have to pass. Only then might their aptitude improve!

The system's requirements were simply too high. In Hua Yunfei's own opinion,

aside from the inheritor of Dao Origin Peak, it was enough for the other disciples to have Dao-grade aptitude.

The requirements were so high that finding anyone suitable was too difficult.

However...

He'd finally found someone!

Ou Haochen!

Hua Yunfei stared at him, but his brows slowly furrowed.

"This man..."

He realized that despite this man's outstanding talent, his character was terrible. He was a despicable wretch.

Hearing Ou Haochen's words, Lin Yang sneered. "What does your identity have to do with me?"

Ou Haochen snorted, then suddenly smiled as he said,

"Actually, they aren't bandits... They're disciples of the Blood Spirit Sect! Righteous disciples!"

He emphasized "righteous disciples" to deliberately remind Lin Yang.

"I was the one who ordered them to slaughter everyone in Qingyang Town!"

Lin Yang flew into a rage. His eyes turned bloodshot as he glared at Ou Haochen. "Why would you do this? What do you gain from it?"

"Why?"

Ou Haochen smiled mockingly. "Ants have no right to ask why!"

"If I want you dead, then you die!"

"If I want you alive, you won't be allowed to die even if you want to!"

"That's what strength gets you. You frogs at the bottom of a well will never understand."

"Hahaha!"

Ou Haochen's words pierced Lin Yang's heart like needles, stabbing him with the cruel truth.

Qingyang Town had been wiped out, and every member of the Lin Family had died, all because they were weak.

When the strong raised their butcher's knives, they had been powerless to fight back.

"It seems you still haven't tasted true despair!"

"Go grab the woman with him. I want to defile her in front of him, until he kneels and begs for mercy!"

Ou Haochen said with a cold laugh.

The bandits, who were disguised Blood Spirit Sect disciples, leered as they advanced on Lin Yang.

Just then,

Hua Yunfei appeared in the middle of the scene. His powerful aura instantly sent all the Blood Spirit Sect disciples surging toward them flying!

With a casual wave of his hand, every Blood Spirit Sect disciple disguised as a bandit—including the Purple Mansion Realm bandit leader—turned to flying ash. Not a trace of their bodies remained!

"Who are you?"

Ou Haochen warily fixed his gaze on Hua Yunfei. He couldn't even tell how this man had appeared.

And judging by the strength he'd displayed, he seemed powerful!

"Young Master, this man is dangerous!"

Two elders in blood-red robes suddenly appeared, shielding Ou Haochen.

They were elders of the Blood Spirit Sect, secretly tasked with protecting the young master!

Someone with Saint-grade Low Grade Aptitude was worth any sacrifice the Blood Spirit Sect could make.

If he grew up safely, then even if he didn't reach the Sage Realm, attaining the Lin Dao Realm would bring unimaginable benefits to the Blood Spirit Sect.

Hua Yunfei looked at Ou Haochen, deeply disappointed and regretful.

He'd finally found someone with the right aptitude, only to discover that he was rotten to the core, with abominable character.

Someone like him wasn't worthy of becoming Hua Yunfei's disciple.

He wasn't worthy of becoming a disciple of the Kaoshan Sect, either!

Even if his aptitude were Saint-grade Top-tier, it would make no difference.

"You two, come here."

Hua Yunfei beckoned Lin Yang and Mu Qingqing over.

"Senior."

Lin Yang hesitantly stepped forward. He sensed no malice from Hua Yunfei and felt he could trust him.

"Stand behind me. I'll protect you."

At those words, Lin Yang and Mu Qingqing nearly wept with joy. They hurriedly said, "Thank you for saving us, Senior. We'll repay you in the future..."

Hua Yunfei waved a hand. "There's no need to thank me. It was a small effort."

If Lin Yang's aptitude hadn't been decent and Mu Qingqing's acceptable, he probably wouldn't have shown up at all.

"Senior,"

Lin Yang said, "the other side is the young master of the Blood Spirit Sect, and those two beside him may be elders of the sect. You..."

"The Blood Spirit Sect? Just a second-rate bunch."

Hua Yunfei clasped his hands behind his back, completely unconcerned.

A second-rate sect like that could be dealt with using nothing but its public strength. He could wipe out a whole crowd with a breath. It wasn't worth worrying about.

"What a big mouth!"

Ou Haochen stepped past the two elders and stared coldly at Hua Yunfei. "You don't look much older than me, yet your mouth is even bigger than mine!"

"I'm this strong. Shouldn't I have a big mouth?"

Hua Yunfei looked at Ou Haochen, the corner of his mouth curling into a smile as he replied.

"You! I..."

Ou Haochen was so thoroughly choked up by that one sentence that he didn't know what to say.

"Damn it!"

He'd never seen anyone so shameless. Who praised himself so brazenly?

"Watch your arrogance, young man."

One of the elders spoke, cold light glinting in his eyes.

"This old man is an elder of the Blood Spirit Sect. If you leave now, I can pretend none of this happened. Otherwise, I'm afraid things won't end well for you."

Hua Yunfei gave him a cold glance.

Pfft!

At that single glance, the elder who'd spoken burst like a watermelon.

Chunks of his corpse splattered across Ou Haochen and the other elder.

The two of them were dumbfounded.

D-dead?

The remaining elder's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly said,

"Senior... We meant no offense... Please spare us. We'll leave right now... immediately!"

As he spoke, he pulled Ou Haochen, trying to get him to leave.

"Let go."

There was a Sage Remnant Soul inside Ou Haochen, giving him immense courage. He wasn't afraid of Hua Yunfei at all.

He refused to believe this man could be stronger than a Sage Remnant Soul!

"Young Master! Don't bring ruin upon yourself!"

The elder was nearly crying. He knew that if they didn't leave now, they wouldn't get away!

But he couldn't abandon Ou Haochen and flee on his own. Otherwise, the Blood Spirit Sect would never forgive him!

Hua Yunfei saw what Ou Haochen was relying on and gave a contemptuous smile. "A mere Sage Remnant Soul dares to put on a brave front?"

Ou Haochen was shocked. "How do you know...?"

The anxious elder froze. A Sage Remnant Soul?

The entire Blood Spirit Sect hadn't known that Ou Haochen was hiding such a huge secret!

He suddenly grew excited. Their young master had Saint-grade Low Grade Aptitude, and with a Sage Remnant Soul to guide him, wouldn't he lead the Blood Spirit Sect to the peak of the Eastern Domain one day?

Hua Yunfei didn't bother with words. He flicked a finger, sending a streak of light into Ou Haochen. At once, Ou Haochen cried out in agony, his face twisted in pain.

"Don't hurt the young master!"

The elder shouted in alarm. His Perfection Level Purple Mansion Realm aura burst forth, and he charged at Hua Yunfei with gritted teeth.

Pfft! Before he could even get close, Hua Yunfei's aura shook him into a heap of minced flesh. He died on the spot without making a sound!

"This senior is truly terrifying!"

Lin Yang and Mu Qingqing stared in shock, their mouths hanging open.

Two elders at Perfection Level of the Purple Mansion Realm—one had died from a glare, and the other had charged into an aura and been killed!

Just how freakishly powerful did someone have to be to do that?

Lin Yang's breathing quickened as he stared at Hua Yunfei's back.

All he'd ever wanted was for a powerful expert like this to teach him!

And now he'd found one!

"Boy, how did you know this Sage existed?"

A fiery red phantom appeared above Ou Haochen, floating in the air. It was an old man with white hair and a sharp gaze. He stared at Hua Yunfei, scrutinizing him again and again, but couldn't see through him at all.

Even someone in the early stage of the Lin Dao Realm would have struggled to escape his perception. Why couldn't he make out anything about this young man?

He instantly grew wary!

The man looked young, but he could be an Old Monster thousands of years old, with unfathomable cultivation!

Perhaps he was in the late stage of the Lin Dao Realm!

If so, they were in grave danger!

He wasn't yet strong enough to face a late-stage Lin Dao Realm expert of the current era!

He roared at Ou Haochen, "Disciple, flee at once! I can't beat him!"
