What Can You Do Besides Cover Me in Grass Clippings?

Outside Nuoding City, a gale raged.

A figure approached from the distance, moving so fast that a long trail of afterimages was left in the air.

It was an old man in blue robes with his hair and beard standing on end. His entire body was wreathed in violent blue electric arcs, and with every step he took, the ground beneath his feet was scorched black, his aura terrifying.

"Qin Feng, you brat! Get out here and die!"

The voice arrived before the man did.

The sound was like rolling thunder, carrying the supreme pressure of a Titled Douluo, slamming heavily against Nuoding City.

Inside the city, the citizens who had just been brimming with excitement suddenly felt a tightness in their chests under this pressure, as if crushed by a great mountain, making even breathing difficult.

"A... a Titled Douluo! It's a Titled Douluo from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan!"

"It's over, it's all over! We've really stirred up big trouble this time!"

Panic instantly overwhelmed the confidence that had just been built.

However, at that very moment, the calm and ripple-free voice of Red Queen rang out through the city-wide broadcast.

[High-intensity mental pressure attack detected.]

[Activating "City Mental Defense Field".]

"Hum—"

An invisible energy shield rose from beneath the city, instantly enveloping the entire area.

The citizens felt a sudden lightness, and the suffocating pressure vanished without a trace, as if it had only been an illusion.

"This... it's gone just like that?"

"Holy crap! Our city walls can even block the pressure of a Titled Douluo?"

"Awesome! Too awesome!"

The citizens, feeling as if they had survived a disaster, erupted into cheers even louder than before.

Outside the city, the blue-robed old man saw that his intimidation tactic had no effect, and his expression turned even uglier.

He was the number two figure of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, a level 95 Titled Douluo, and the younger brother of Yu Yuanzhen—Yu Luomian!

He had been ordered by his elder brother to come and capture Qin Feng to judge the heretic.

"Coward! If you have the guts, come out and fight me fair and square!"

Yu Luomian roared, raising his hand to unleash a violent lightning dragon claw, which he slammed toward the city gate.

"Boom!"

Blue electric light exploded against the alloy gate, yet it failed to leave even a single white mark.

"Old man, why are you so hot-headed?"

Qin Feng's voice drifted lazily from atop the city wall.

Yu Luomian looked up sharply to see the young man standing on the ramparts, looking down at him with not a hint of fear on his face.

"You are Qin Feng?" Yu Luomian narrowed his eyes, killing intent overflowing, "Do you know what kind of monstrous crime you have committed!"

"I don't." Qin Feng shook his head, "I only know that my delivery has arrived."

"Delivery?" Yu Luomian paused, thinking he had misheard.

"That's right." Qin Feng pointed at him, "You are the one delivering it."

"Bullshit!" Yu Luomian was so angry his beard bristled, "I am here to take your dog life!"

"No, you are here to deliver a package." Qin Feng corrected him very seriously, "And it's a very important one at that."

"As for taking my life..." Qin Feng smiled, "Based on you? You aren't qualified."

"Arrogant brat! You're courting death!"

Yu Luomian was completely enraged. The nine spirit rings beneath his feet lit up with a boom, and the black ninth spirit ring shone brilliantly!

"Ninth Spirit Skill, Ten Thousand Thunder Heavenly Prison!"

The sky instantly turned gloomy, and countless blue lightning dragons as thick as water barrels wove through the dark clouds. A terrifying aura of destruction made the air within a ten-mile radius turn viscous.

This was a terrifying spirit skill capable of leveling a small city!

The citizens inside the city were once again frightened pale by this world-ending sight.

However, Qin Feng merely raised his hand.

"Brother Wolf, time to work."

"You got it, Boss!" Grey Wolf's excited voice came through the communicator.

"'Orbital Kinetic Weapon System' ready! Target locked!"

"Give him a 'Rod of God' to wash his hair!"

Yu Luomian was just about to guide the thousands of thunderbolts down when he suddenly felt a fatal threat from above that made his very soul tremble!

He looked up abruptly.

High above at an altitude of ten thousand meters, a massive, burning black shadow was tearing through the clouds at an unimaginable speed, plummeting straight toward him!

That was no spirit skill!

It was a ten-meter-long metal rod, forged entirely from high-density tungsten alloy, its surface glowing crimson from the intense friction with the atmosphere!

Fast!

It was too fast!

It was so fast that Yu Luomian didn't even have time to react!

His pride and joy, the Myriad Thunder Heavenly Prison, was as fragile and laughable as a child's firework in the face of that metal rod descending from the heavens!

"No--!"

Yu Luomian let out a scream of extreme terror. He desperately tried to dodge, but the metal rod seemed to possess a built-in locking function, pinning his aura down firmly!

"BOOM--!!!"

There was no explosion, only a dull, heavy thud of impact!

The metal rod landed precisely less than half a meter in front of Yu Luomian.

The terrifying kinetic energy was released in a single instant!

The earth heaved violently, like the surface of a drum struck by a giant's hammer!

Immediately following, a circular shockwave, carrying millions of tons of soil, spread wildly in all directions!

Yu Luomian bore the brunt of it; his protective lightning aura was more fragile than paper in the face of such pure physical kinetic energy.

"Pfft!"

Like a ball swatted away, he spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward for over a hundred meters, carving a deep trench into the ground.

The thunderclouds in the sky, having lost their master's control, dissipated instantly.

The sky cleared once more.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Only the bottomless crater, over fifty meters in diameter outside Nuoding City, and the metal rod still glowing red in its center, served as proof of what had just occurred.

The entire scene fell into a deathly silence.

On the city walls, the citizens who had just been trembling with fear stood with their mouths agape, staring blankly at the massive crater, their minds completely blank.

What... just happened?

That arrogant Title Douluo who was going to strike everyone down with lightning...

Was just... taken out in a second by a stick that fell from the sky?

"Cough... cough cough..."

A series of violent coughs echoed from the distant ruins.

Yu Luomian struggled to crawl out of the dirt. He didn't know how many of his bones were broken, and his luxurious blue robe had been reduced to rags; he looked as wretched as one could possibly be.

He looked at the giant crater, then at the unscathed young man on the city wall. The arrogance and fury in his eyes had vanished, replaced only by deep shock and bewilderment.

What kind of attack was this?

Why couldn't he sense even a trace of spirit power fluctuation?

"Now, can we have a proper talk about the issue of signing for your delivery?" Qin Feng's voice drifted over leisurely once again.

Yu Luomian's body stiffened.

Only then did he remember that the rod from earlier had grazed his scalp.

If... if it had been half a meter closer...

He didn't dare to think any further.

"What... what exactly do you want?" Yu Luomian's voice was hoarse, carrying a tremor he didn't even notice himself.

"It's simple." Qin Feng snapped his fingers.

On the city wall beside him, an alloy panel slid open, and a mechanical arm extended, tossing a silver metal bracelet to Yu Luomian's feet.

"Put it on."

"What is this?" Yu Luomian eyed the bracelet warily.

"A tracker," Qin Feng said indifferently. "It also monitors your heart rate and blood pressure, just in case you get too excited later and die of anger."

"Don't even think about it!" Yu Luomian roared. "A man would rather die than be humiliated!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Qin Feng replied noncommittally.

He simply spoke into his communicator: "Brother Wolf, prepare to launch the second Rod of God."

"Don't!!"

Terrified out of his wits, Yu Luomian didn't even think; he lunged like a starving tiger, snatched up the bracelet, and quickly strapped it onto his wrist.

"Click."

The bracelet locked automatically, and a row of green indicator lights lit up on its surface.

[Ding! Courier identity successfully bound!]

[Biological signs stable, emotional state agitated, physical cooling recommended.]

"Very good." Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"Now, you can get lost."

"Tell Yu Yuanzhen that I accept the 'judgment' he wants."

"Three days from now, I will personally go to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan to sign for my 'package'."

"Tell him to have everything ready and wash his neck clean, waiting for me."

"If he is unwilling..."

Qin Feng paused, pointing toward the bottomless giant crater nearby.

"This will be the future ancestral graveyard of your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan."

"That is what I said."
