"Qin Feng!"
###
"You're asking for death!"
###
Tang San let out a furious roar and instantly launched into the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. His whole body blurred into an afterimage as he charged straight at Qin Feng.
###
His right hand brushed his waist, and several cold glints flashed.
###
They were his Hidden Weapons.
###
Bone Piercing Nails!
###
Every one of them was coated in deadly poison, aimed straight at Qin Feng's throat, heart, and other vital points.
###
So this was Tang San's idea of a sparring match: every move was a lethal attack.
###
"Lost your temper because you couldn't take it?"
###
Qin Feng stood right where he was, not even moving.
###
Just as the Bone Piercing Nails were about to pierce him,
###
he extended his right hand.
###
It looked slow, but was actually faster than the eye could follow.
###
Clang! Clang! Clang!
###
A string of crisp metallic impacts rang out.
###
A faint golden glow covered Qin Feng's palm—the shield formed by Soul Power released outside his body.
###
The Bone Piercing Nails, each powerful enough to pierce metal and shatter stone, were casually swatted to the ground as if he were batting away flies.
###
Then,
###
Qin Feng turned his hand and slapped him.
###
Smack!
###
The slap was as quick as lightning. Even Tang San's prized Purple Demon Eye failed to catch its trajectory.
###
A sharp crack rang out.
###
Tang San spun through the air like a top, turning three times before crashing heavily to the ground.
###
Half his face swelled up like a risen bun, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
###
"You..."
###
Tang San clutched his face, his eyes full of disbelief.
###
He was a control-type Soul Master, and he had the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eye to bolster him. How could someone his own age slap him flying?
###
He hadn't even had a chance to fight back?
###
Qin Feng looked down at him, as if he were nothing more than an ant.
###
"That's all you've got, and you think you can kill someone to silence them?"
###
"Go back and train some more, Little Scumbag."
###
It had all happened too fast.
###
Even Tang Hao hadn't expected his son to lose so cleanly and decisively.
###
His son was a genius with Twin Martial Souls!
###
A flicker of shock crossed Tang Hao's eyes, swiftly followed by an even more intense killing intent.
###
This boy's talent was far too terrifying.
###
If he were allowed to grow, he would become a great threat to the Clear Sky Sect!
###
"Good!"
###
"Very good!"
###
"Qin Feng, not only have you spread lies and insulted our ancestors, you've also dared to hurt someone right in front of me."
###
"If I don't cripple you today, I, Tang Hao, am no man!"
###
Tang Hao stepped forward.
###
Rumble!
###
The ground cracked instantly, and a terrifying wave of air blasted out in every direction from him.
###
This was the true might of a Titled Douluo.
###
He had no intention of wasting any more words. Taking what he wanted by force was the only sensible option.
###
Just as Tang Hao raised his fan-sized hand, preparing to slap Qin Feng,
###
a sinister green light shot over from the distance and blocked Tang Hao's path, stopping in front of Qin Feng.
###
"Tang Hao!"
###
"You shameless old bastard!"
###
"Picking on a junior—is that how the Clear Sky Sect does things?"
###
As the angry shout rang out, three figures descended from the sky.
###
The one in front was tall and thin, with long, dark green hair falling loose behind him. His eyes were an eerie green as well.
###
It was none other than Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.
###
Behind him were Dugu Yan, looking anxious, and Ye Lingling.
###
"Grandpa!"
###
After landing, Dugu Yan didn't even spare Tang Hao a glance. She rushed straight to Qin Feng and looked him up and down.
###
"Qin Feng, are you all right?"
###
"Did that crazy old man hurt you?"
###
As she spoke, she reached out and tenderly straightened his collar.
###
Ye Lingling didn't say anything, but she stood beside Qin Feng, her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul flickering into view, ready to heal him at any moment.
###
Seeing the concern in the two women's eyes warmed Qin Feng's heart.
###
He took the opportunity to wrap an arm around Dugu Yan's slender waist and gave her a cheeky grin.
###
"Don't worry. The two of them can't hurt me."
###
"But what are you doing here?"
###
Feeling his hand around her waist, Dugu Yan's face flushed, but she didn't pull away.
###
She rolled her eyes at Qin Feng.
###
"Grandpa sensed a Titled Douluo's aura over here and was afraid something might happen to you."
###
As she spoke, Dugu Yan's gaze suddenly fell on Qian Renxue behind Qin Feng.
###
Though she wore a veil, her otherworldly air and the faint outline of her breathtaking features made Dugu Yan's heart skip a beat.
###
A woman's instincts told her this was a formidable rival.
###
"Who's she?"
###
There was a distinct note of jealousy in Dugu Yan's voice as she eyed Qian Renxue warily.
###
"With that figure and that air about her, why hide herself away? Is she afraid to show her face?"
###
Qin Feng cleared his throat and laughed it off.
###
"Oh, she's a friend of mine."
###
"We just met. I haven't had a chance to introduce her yet."
###
Dugu Yan looked at Qin Feng suspiciously, then glanced at Qian Renxue.
###
"A friend?"
###
"A female friend?"
###
"Or the kind of friend you just met and already went shopping with?"
###
The look in Dugu Yan's eyes clearly said, Do you really think I believe that?
###
Qian Renxue watched Dugu Yan acting like a possessive little kitten, and a hint of amusement flickered in her eyes.
###
She said nothing, simply standing quietly behind Qin Feng. Somehow, that only made her seem even more composed, like the lady of the house.
###
Ye Lingling gently tugged at Dugu Yan's sleeve.
###
"Yanzi, stop it."
###
"This isn't the time for that."
###
"Look over there."
###
Everyone's attention returned to the center of the scene.
###
Dugu Bo now stood with his hands behind his back, facing Tang Hao with a dark expression.
###
He might have been on the weaker side among Titled Douluos, but his deadly poison was enough to give anyone a headache.
###
Even Tang Hao had to be cautious.
###
He wasn't afraid of poison, but Tang San lying on the ground and Ma Hongjun, who had already passed out, were.
###
If they really drove Old Poison to the brink and he unleashed a city-destroying attack, even Tang Hao wouldn't be able to protect everyone.
###
"I was wondering who it was."
###
"So it's Old Poison, Dugu Bo."
###
Tang Hao narrowed his eyes, his muscles tensing all over. He hadn't summoned his Clear Sky Hammer, but his aura had already locked onto Dugu Bo.
###
"What's this? After all these years, you've started playing nursemaid to people?"
###
Dugu Bo snorted, the green in his eyes flashing coldly.
###
"What a grand show of authority, Clear Sky Douluo."
###
"Instead of hiding in your rat hole, you've come to Heaven Dou City to bully my granddaughter's husband. Do you really think so little of me, Dugu Bo?"
###
"Granddaughter's husband?"
###
Tang Hao paused, then looked at Qin Feng in surprise.
###
"You mean this kid?"
###
Dugu Bo nodded proudly.
###
"That's right."
###
"Yanyan likes the boy, and I've taken a liking to him too."
###
"With me here today, no one's laying a finger on him."
###
Tang Hao furrowed his brows.
###
He hadn't expected Qin Feng to have Dugu Bo backing him.
###
But it made sense. Qin Feng was a Soul King at such a young age, and he'd even slapped Xiao San flying. His talent really was astonishing. It was no wonder Dugu Bo had taken an interest in him.
###
Hearing that, Tang San, still on the ground, grew even more jealous.
###
Dugu Yan was a well-known beauty at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, with a fiery figure and excellent talent.
###
And she liked Qin Feng too?
###
Why?
###
Other than being a little more handsome and a little stronger, how could Qin Feng possibly compare to Tang San?
