The youth had a slender build.
His brows were like distant mountains, his eyes like cold stars.
The moonlight spilled down, plating his body in a layer of silver radiance.
The night wind whipped his sleeves, snapping loudly, yet it could not disperse the biting murderous aura emanating from him.
He looked for all the world like an immortal descended to the mortal realm.
Who else could it be but Chen Changqing, who had fought his way up from the foot of the mountain?
Upon seeing Chen Changqing, Dai Hai's pupils dilated in shock.
"Father! It's him!"
"He's the one who struck me at the tavern today."
Dai Hai clutched his swollen face, his eyes filled with venomous resentment.
He never would have imagined it.
That Chen Changqing would actually dare to come to Black Wind Stronghold all by himself.
"Hmm?"
Hearing what Dai Hai said, Dai Xiongfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and took a closer look at Chen Changqing.
At this moment, Dai Hai let out a sinister laugh and spoke coldly:
"Kid!"
"I hadn't even gone looking for you yet."
"And here you are, delivering yourself to my doorstep."
Earlier, Dai Hai had been sullen and worried that Chen Changqing might have slipped away.
If he couldn't catch Chen Changqing, then the beating he took today would have been for nothing.
At the same time, Dai Xiongfeng probed him and discovered that Chen Changqing's cultivation was merely at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
"A mere Foundation Establishment, yet you dare to run wild in my Black Wind Stronghold?"
"And you dare to strike my son."
"I think you're looking for death!"
Dai Xiongfeng's gaze was as cold as a blade, sweeping directly over Chen Changqing.
Earlier, when Dai Hai returned from outside, all his teeth had been knocked out.
Upon questioning, Dai Xiongfeng learned the truth.
It turned out someone had laid hands on his son.
Although Dai Hai said the opponent was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, Dai Xiongfeng had felt some hesitation.
He didn't immediately take men to avenge Dai Hai.
Instead, he quietly sent people out, wanting to find out the other party's background.
He had originally thought that someone who dared to hit his son must be some kind of expert.
But looking now, it was just a junior in the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Hearing the arrogant words of the Dai father and son, Chen Changqing said with an indifferent expression:
"Tonight, it is you who will die!"
As he spoke, Chen Changqing's gaze swept across the crowd of Black Wind Stronghold bandits in the main hall.
"Haha!"
As soon as he said this, the hall erupted into raucous laughter, followed by mockery:
"Ridiculous."
"Where did this Foundation Establishment brat come from, daring to speak such nonsense?"
"Kid, is there something wrong with your head?"
"Don't you know how much you weigh?"
"Just a Foundation Establishment cultivation, who gave you the courage to storm my Black Wind Stronghold?"
"You're the one looking for death!"
"..."
The crowd mocked him incessantly.
They didn't take Chen Changqing seriously at all.
After all, their Great Chief was at the Core Formation realm; killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be easier than crushing an ant, wouldn't it?
Even though the Fourth Chief had died at Chen Changqing's hands.
However, his cultivation was merely at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Chen Changqing did not take the mockery from the members of Black Wind Stronghold to heart.
At this moment, Dai Xiongfeng gave a disdainful smile and let out a cold snort.
"Hmph!"
"You truly do not know the meaning of death!"
"Since that is the case."
"Second and Third, go and send him to meet the King of Hell!"
As Dai Xiongfeng finished speaking, two men stepped out from behind him.
These two were one fat and one thin.
The moment they appeared, a tyrannical aura radiated from their bodies; both were actually Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators.
In Dai Xiongfeng's view, with these two taking action, Chen Changqing could be easily slaughtered.
"Brat, to act so recklessly in my Black Wind Stronghold, leave your dog life behind today!"
As the words faded, the fatter cultivator chose to strike directly.
"Boom!"
His figure flashed, rapidly dashing toward Chen Changqing, and as he lunged, he swung his hand down in a palm strike.
Seeing this, the thinner cultivator was not slow either, attacking Chen Changqing with a palm strike from the other side.
"Boom!"
In less than an instant, the two Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators took Chen Changqing from the left and right.
Under the force of their violent palms, the air itself crackled with explosive sounds.
Facing the two incoming Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators, Chen Changqing's expression remained indifferent.
"Thunder Fist!"
Seeing the two about to strike, he gathered spiritual power in both hands and threw a punch to his left and right respectively.
"Boom! Boom!"
As the punches were thrown, lightning erupted from his fists.
"Bang! Bang..."
The violent power of the thunder instantly collided with the palm forces of the two Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators.
A deafening sonic boom echoed throughout the hall.
Looking again, one could see the palm forces of the two men disintegrating instantly under Chen Changqing's Thunder Fist.
The remaining force of the punches did not dissipate, piercing straight through the chests of both men, sending flesh and blood flying.
Tendrils of lightning energy coiled wildly around their bodies, crackling incessantly.
The two Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators did not even have time to scream before they were reduced to charred corpses, slamming heavily onto the ground!
This scene happened far too suddenly.
Everyone in the hall was caught off guard, standing there dumbfounded.
"What?"
"This?"
"How is this possible?"
"The Second and Third Chiefs are just gone like that?"
"..."
After their stupor, the members of Black Wind Stronghold finally snapped back to reality, their pupils dilating in sheer horror!
No one had expected this.
Chen Changqing was actually this formidable.
With one punch from each hand, he had instantly killed two Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators on the spot.
"Ah?"
Seeing this, Dai Hai was completely stunned.
Just a moment ago, he had been high and mighty.
He had thought that Chen Changqing daring to come to Black Wind Stronghold was no different from throwing himself into a net.
Who would have thought that with just a slight display of power, he would have already killed the Second and Third Chiefs of Black Wind Stronghold.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, Dai Xiongfeng's expression sank abruptly, becoming extremely unsightly.
"What kind of existence did Hai'er provoke out there?"
"He appears to only have the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, yet with a single move, he instantly killed two cultivators of the same rank?"
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Dai Xiongfeng felt.
He then set aside his contempt for Chen Changqing and said with a grave expression:
"Kid."
"Who exactly are you?"
In Dai Xiongfeng's eyes, Chen Changqing's ability to so easily slaughter two peers while only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage meant he was by no means an ordinary cultivator!
Chen Changqing slowly raised his eyes, staring coldly at Dai Xiongfeng, and said indifferently:
"Dead men don't need to know so much!"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Changqing's figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.
"Bang!"
When they looked again, a member of the Black Wind Stronghold not far away had already had his body blown apart by a single punch.
Chen Changqing's figure flashed once more.
Wherever he passed, sword light flickered, and heads flew high into the air, one after another, before crashing heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, the cultivators of the Black Wind Stronghold were all thrown into a panic.
If even a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator could be instantly killed by Chen Changqing, what chance did they, at the Body Tempering and Qi Refining levels, have?
"Bang, bang..."
"Puff! Puff, puff!"
Alas, before these cultivators could even flee, they had all perished at the hands of Chen Changqing.
At the same time, the system's notification sounds rang out incessantly in Chen Changqing's mind:
[Ding!]
[Killed Black Wind Stronghold bandit, AFK Points +20.]
[Killed Black Wind Stronghold bandit, AFK Points +20.]
[Killed Black Wind Stronghold bandit, AFK Points +9.]
[...]
