In Ma Hongjun's eyes, Qin Feng was already a dead man.
With Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao backing him, Ma Hongjun wasn't afraid of anyone anymore.
Qin Feng gave a scornful laugh.
"Mind your own business?"
"When you see injustice, someone will step up to right it. A piece of trash like you is wasting air just by being alive."
"Since that so-called Third Brother of yours failed to teach you properly, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents today."
Ma Hongjun flew into a rage.
"Bullshit!"
"I'll cripple you first!"
"Phoenix Fire Line!"
Ma Hongjun opened his mouth and spat out a streak of purple-red flame, sending it straight toward Qin Feng's face.
He might have been a lecherous scumbag, but he had the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul. The power of those flames was not to be underestimated.
The surrounding townsfolk scattered in terror.
Qian Renxue was about to make a move, but Qin Feng reached out and stopped her.
"Someone like him would dirty your hands."
Qin Feng stood perfectly still, not even bothering to dodge.
Just as the flames were about to singe his eyebrows—
Whoosh!
A pair of enormous, bone-white wings suddenly unfurled from Qin Feng's back.
Bone Spirit Fire Dragon Wings!
The bone-white flames surged instantly. They gave off no heat; instead, they radiated a bone-chilling cold.
The moment Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line touched those bone-white flames, it was like a mouse meeting a cat. It was swallowed up completely.
"What?!"
Ma Hongjun's face paled in shock.
Before he could react—
The bone wings on Qin Feng's back snapped forward.
Whoosh!
Two bone-white fire dragons roared out. They were fast as lightning, but they weren't aimed at Ma Hongjun's vital points.
They were heading straight for his lower half.
"Since your Evil Fire is raging and you can't keep your lower half under control..."
"I'll help you cool it down, so this trouble never comes back."
Qin Feng's voice was cold as ice.
Ma Hongjun felt a chill in his crotch, followed by a searing pain that burned deep into his soul.
The bone-white flames clung to him like maggots burrowing into bone, burning through his pants in an instant.
"Ahhh—!!!"
A bloodcurdling scream rang out along the entire street.
Everyone could clearly smell the acrid stench of roasting meat.
Ma Hongjun clutched his crotch and rolled frantically on the ground, his screams worse than a slaughtered pig's.
"My... mine..."
"It's gone! It's all gone!"
Ma Hongjun was in so much pain that snot and tears streamed down his face. His whole body convulsed.
It was the combined effect of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's poison and Bone Spirit Cold Fire. They hadn't merely destroyed his flesh; the poison had instantly wrecked every nerve and eliminated any chance of recovery.
From then on, the Evil Fire Phoenix had become a Fireless Grass Chicken.
Standing behind Qin Feng, Qian Renxue watched the scene. A flicker of satisfaction passed through her eyes, but it was outweighed by her shock at Qin Feng's methods.
How ruthless.
He'd turned the man into a eunuch just like that.
Just then—
Two powerful auras suddenly descended.
"Little Fatty!"
A blue figure dropped from the sky and caught Ma Hongjun as he writhed on the ground.
It was Tang San.
Behind him, a tall figure in a ragged cloak slowly emerged, radiating a terrifying pressure that made it hard to breathe.
Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.
When Ma Hongjun saw Tang San, he clung to him like a drowning man clutching at a lifeline, grabbing his arm and wailing:
"Third Brother! Save me! Please, save me!"
"Qin Feng... that animal crippled me!"
"I'm a eunuch now! Third Brother, you have to avenge me!"
Tang San looked at the charred mess between Ma Hongjun's legs. A flash of shock crossed his eyes, then turned into a surge of fury.
He looked up and glared at Qin Feng, wearing an air of righteous indignation.
"Qin Feng!"
"We're all students of a Soul Master Academy. Even if you had a grudge against him, you went way too far!"
"Hongjun may be a bit unruly, but he didn't deserve this. You've ruined his entire life!"
"With your cruelty, you're nothing but a disgrace to the Soul Master World!"
Qin Feng beat his bone wings and looked down at Tang San, a disdainful smile curling his lips.
"Unruly?"
"Forcing a girl to go with you is just being unruly?"
"If no one had stepped in today, that pig would have ruined that girl's life."
"What, your friends can set fires, but ordinary people aren't allowed to light a lamp?"
"Tang San, drop that sanctimonious act of yours. It makes me sick."
Tang San was momentarily stumped, but quickly recovered. His gaze fell on the bone wings behind Qin Feng.
Mysterious patterns shimmered across the bone-white wings. Even from far away, their aura made the Eight Spider Lances inside Tang San tremble.
That was a hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone!
Greed flashed through Tang San's eyes, but he wore an expression of deep anguish.
"Qin Feng, not only are your methods cruel, you're also abusing your power with this hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone."
"If such a peerless treasure of heaven and earth fell into the hands of an evil man like you, it would only bring disaster to the continent."
"You don't deserve to own this Soul Bone."
"Only in the hands of someone righteous, using it to punish the wicked and uphold justice, can it serve its true purpose."
"Kid, hand over the hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone, and I might spare your life for old times' sake."
After delivering that speech, even Tang San felt entirely justified.
That's right. I'm doing this for justice.
Only if I have the Soul Bone can I use it to stand against Spirit Hall and protect Xiao Wu. That's the righteous path!
Qin Feng actually laughed in disbelief.
"A righteous person? You mean yourself?"
"Tang San, if you want to steal my Soul Bone, just say so. Don't hide behind some grand banner of justice."
"Is your idea of justice to brand whatever you want as evil, then snatch it away with a clear conscience?"
"You think you're worthy?"
At his side, Tang Hao raised his head.
His cloudy old eyes suddenly blazed with a startling light.
He stared fixedly at the bone wings behind Qin Feng, his breathing growing heavier.
A hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone!
And a pair of dragon wings, no less!
Back then, he had paid an immeasurable price for Ah Yin's Soul Bone—even sacrificing his entire sect.
And now, a hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone, countless times more precious than Ah Yin's, stood right before him.
If Little San could absorb it, his future would be limitless!
He might even surpass who I was back then!
Listening to Tang San, Qin Feng felt as though he'd just heard the funniest joke in the world.
He couldn't help bursting out laughing.
"Tang San, I used to think you were shameless. I didn't realize your face was thick enough to bend around a city wall."
"How do you manage to drool over my Soul Bone while making yourself sound so righteous?"
Qin Feng clapped his hands and pointed at the townsfolk peeking out from around them.
"Why don't you ask everyone here? Can you really call stealing someone else's things upholding justice?"
"Should I take a fancy to your Clear Sky Hammer someday and tell you that swinging it might crush the flowers and plants? Would you obediently cripple your Martial Soul and hand it over to me?"
Tang San's face stiffened, but he quickly resumed his compassionate expression.
He shook his head, seemingly saddened by Qin Feng's stubborn refusal to see reason.
