Unable to Withstand a Single Move

No Match for a Single Move

"This sword strike... it's so strong!!"

Yu Feng asked himself and knew he could not take this strike. The power Nie Xiaoyue had unleashed in this sword had already surpassed her true strength.

The sword thrust out, its momentum fierce and raging, as if it could pierce the heavens!

"This Jiang Feng actually forced Nie Xiaoyue to such a state!"

Facing this ultimate sword strike Nie Xiaoyue thrust toward him, a faint smile instead surfaced at the corner of Jiang Feng's mouth:

"What, is this your limit?"

"So weak."

Nie Xiaoyue caught sight of the smile at the corner of Jiang Feng's mouth, and in that instant it was as if she had fallen into an ice cavern. Her whole body went cold, the chill sinking deep into her bones!

"He... can still be this calm!?"

"Nie Xiaoyue, the one destined to kneel today is you!" Jiang Feng gave a cold snort. Facing that life-stealing sword strike, he advanced instead of retreating.

Immediately after, amid the crowd's expressions of inconceivable terror, Nie Xiaoyue's longsword flew from her hand, drawing an arc through the air, while her entire body was sent flying backward and fell off the arena!

Defeated!

Nie Xiaoyue had been defeated!

Below the arena, the crowd instantly exploded into an uproar!

The proud daughter of heaven of Zhushan Town had actually lost to the former useless beggar!

This day should have been a glorious one for Nie Xiaoyue, who had become a Martial Artist at the age of fourteen, her radiance flaring ten thousand zhang, bravely seizing the Youth Ranking championship. Yet from that endless abyss, a dark horse of no name had charged out, cutting through each pass and felling each general, and in the end had actually held Nie Xiaoyue's advancing steps firmly in place, covering all the radiance of this proud daughter of heaven!

Jiang Feng!

A nameless youth who was also only fourteen, who had once begged in the marketplaces and clung to life in the human world, had truly shocked the world with a single cry!

"He is worthy of being Jiang Yunhai's son!"

"Jiang Yunhai, the former number-one expert of Zhushan Town. His son is extraordinary indeed."

In the stands, Nie Hu shot to his feet! The energy inside his body churned and surged, and his robes and hair snapped in the force of his aura.

"Jiang Feng, it was actually Jiang Feng!" He had never imagined that the one who covered Nie Xiaoyue's brilliance would actually be Jiang Feng!

At this moment, an indescribable feeling filled his heart!

Just now, when Jiang Feng had acted, others might not have seen it clearly, but he had absolutely seen it with perfect clarity!

Nie Xiaoyue's ultimate sword strike had actually been lightly flicked aside by two of Jiang Feng's fingers! In one-tenth of a breath, Jiang Feng had struck out with another palm, directly imprinting it on Nie Xiaoyue's chest and abdomen. The force of that palm was fast, ruthless, and precise!

Wei Changqing sat steady as a mountain, but everyone could feel the cold, sinister aura he was releasing. His eyes stared fixedly at Jiang Feng on the arena.

He had never expected that under Nie Xiaoyue's Sword Momentum, Jiang Feng would not only be able to handle it with ease, but could even casually defeat Nie Xiaoyue!

Although Wei Changqing sat steady as a mountain, he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles!

"He is actually strong to this extent!"

"This boy must be eliminated, no matter what methods it takes!!"

On the arena, Jiang Feng stood proudly. Defeating Nie Xiaoyue was merely a brief interlude on the road ahead of him!

To outsiders, Jiang Feng defeating Nie Xiaoyue was utterly shocking, but to Jiang Feng himself, it had been nothing more than plucking it up with a turn of the hand! Indeed, with his current strength, Nie Xiaoyue, at the second level of the Yellow Martial Realm, was like an ant!

Below the arena, Nie Xiaoyue lay faceup on the ground, the longsword that had flown from her hand stuck into the ground not far beside her. At this moment, her face was ashen, her eyes hollow, gazing mistily at the boundless sky above her!

She had thought victory was firmly within her grasp!

Yet Jiang Feng had given her a savage blow right to the head!

"Xiaoyue!" Yu Feng rushed down from the arena and helped Nie Xiaoyue up, only to see that blood tears were actually spilling from Nie Xiaoyue's lifeless eyes!

Clearly, the Nie Xiaoyue at this moment was already close to the edge of a collapse of mind and spirit!

"Bastard!!" Yu Feng roared. "Jiang Feng, I'm going to kill you!"

Without waiting for the ruling, Yu Feng leaped onto the arena. The instant his feet landed, a vast and mighty aura surged out from his body, directly shattering his robes!

With his robes torn away, Yu Feng's muscles were revealed, as if they had been poured from steel bars.

At this moment, his flesh and skin were like blue-black ink, and his entire body seemed to have instantly grown three sizes larger. Powerful strength rolled through his body, as if it might burst apart at any time.

"What's going on with Yu Feng? How did his aura suddenly soar?"

"Heavens, judging from his aura, his current strength has probably reached the fourth level of the Yellow Martial Realm!!"

"Yu Feng is ignoring the rules! He didn't even wait for the ruling and directly attacked Jiang Feng. That's a violation!"

"Why is no one stopping him?"

Some people turned to look toward the stands. At this time, Wei Changqing, as the supervisor of the Zhushan Arena Tournament, should have stepped forward to stop Yu Feng.

In the stands, Wei Changqing stood up with a whoosh, brilliant light bursting from his eyes. "This Yu Feng actually has such a Forbidden Technique! Good, good, good!" Not only did he have no intention of stopping Yu Feng's rule violation, on the contrary, he placed intense hopes on Yu Feng.

"Kill Jiang Feng! You must kill Jiang Feng for me!"

On the arena, Yu Feng knew very well that if he did not use his Forbidden Technique, he definitely would not be Jiang Feng's opponent. So, borrowing the force of his fury, he directly unleashed the Forbidden Technique. He firmly believed that under his Forbidden Technique, Jiang Feng would undoubtedly die!

"Oh?" Jiang Feng exclaimed in surprise. "I never thought this Yu Feng could actually erupt with three times his strength!"

Yu Feng's bloodshot eyes bulged wide. The soles of his feet stamped hard on the arena, making the entire platform tremble. After that stomp, he shot out in a burst, his long spear aimed straight at Jiang Feng. The spear tip quivered, gathering all the strength in his body as it went straight for Jiang Feng's forehead!

"You want me dead?!" Jiang Feng gave a cold snort. "You're not qualified!"

This Yu Feng had actually conceived killing intent toward him merely because he had defeated Nie Xiaoyue!

Nie Xiaoyue wanted to kill Jiang Feng, and though that was also partly unreasonable, there was at least some grudge behind it. But this Yu Feng had hated Jiang Feng out of nowhere, and the moment he attacked, he wanted to take Jiang Feng's life. It truly made Jiang Feng feel disgusted!

Jiang Feng suddenly took one step forward. Without waiting for that spear to stab over, he seized the initiative and attacked first. With a simple, yet by no means ordinary, palm strike, he planted it directly on Yu Feng's chest!

For Jiang Feng, whose soul strength was extraordinarily powerful, completing this set of movements was not difficult at all!

Before anyone could react, they saw Yu Feng flying backward through the air. His long spear slipped from his hand, and his body crashed down at the edge of the arena.

"What!!?"

"What happened?"

"Yu Feng broke the rules and ambushed Jiang Feng, but Jiang Feng dismantled his attack in one move."

"Jiang Feng... Jiang Feng actually sent Yu Feng flying with one palm, even after Yu Feng unleashed a Forbidden Technique!!"

Pitiful Yu Feng. He never, ever would have imagined that the Forbidden Technique he had unleashed, the one that had filled him with confidence and pride, would fail to withstand even a single move in Jiang Feng's hands!

Just what level of strength did this Jiang Feng possess?

First he toyed with Lin Xian and smashed Wang Song, then made Xiang Pang willingly admit defeat, and then casually defeated the championship favorite, Nie Xiaoyue. And now, he had actually repelled Yu Feng, who had ambushed him and unleashed a Forbidden Technique, with one move!

Everyone felt as though they had watched a play, a play deliberately directed by Jiang Feng, in which he displayed his strength step by step.

"Heavens, could this Jiang Feng already be a Martial Artist at the fifth level of the Yellow Martial Realm?"

"Fourteen years old, fifth level of the Yellow Martial Realm—such an achievement would probably be difficult even for the disciples of those large clans, wouldn't it?"

"This Jiang Feng... is he even human?"

"Look, he seems to be going to kill Yu Feng to vent his hatred!"

"That makes sense too. Yu Feng stuck his oar crosswise into the grudge between Jiang Feng and Nie Xiaoyue, and even unleashed a Forbidden Technique to try to take Jiang Feng's life. Even if Jiang Feng wants to kill him, it's justifiable!"

Yu Feng clutched his chest with one hand and propped himself up on the ground with the other, looking powerless as he stared at Jiang Feng.

Even after unleashing his Forbidden Technique, he could not block a single move from Jiang Feng and had been gravely injured outright. He knew full well that he had no chance of withstanding Jiang Feng's anger!

Jiang Feng slowly walked toward Yu Feng step by step, and the latter only felt a powerful aura slowly pressing in on him!

"You... you can't kill me!" Yu Feng cried in terror. "I admit defeat, I admit defeat!"

"Don't you think it's a little late to admit defeat now?" Jiang Feng pressed closer step by step.

In the stands, Wei Changqing's eyes abruptly narrowed, and a sinister viciousness leapt onto his face. He suddenly sprang up from the ground and shouted in a ringing voice, "Audacious brat, don't you dare act recklessly!"

With an angry roar, Wei Changqing leapt out from the stands. A massive aura followed his figure and pressed directly down on Jiang Feng in the arena.

Wei Changqing was an expert at the fifth level of the Black Martial Realm. In Zhushan Town, in terms of cultivation, he was second only to the town chief Nie Hu. With his strength, he reached the arena in the blink of an eye. His large hand formed a claw, five fingers like eagle hooks, and seized directly toward Jiang Feng's neck from behind!

An ambush—it was actually an ambush! The dignified Guard Captain was actually ambushing Jiang Feng, a junior!

With this grab, he was determined to cripple Jiang Feng then and there, to prevent long nights from breeding many dreams!

"So vicious!" In the stands, Nie Hu frowned. "So shameless!" Even he felt that Wei Changqing making a move against Jiang Feng at this moment was truly shameless!

Wei Changqing's intention was extremely obvious: he wanted to seize the chance to strangle Jiang Feng in the cradle!

Jiang Feng had shown clear killing intent toward Yu Feng, and that had given Wei Changqing even more of an excuse to act. As the Guard Captain and the actual supervisor of the Zhushan Arena Tournament, Wei Changqing had a duty to interfere in the youths' fights to the death.

But to use interference in a deathmatch as a pretext to get rid of Jiang Feng for himself was truly shameless!

However, aside from the few who could think this far, in everyone else's eyes, Wei Changqing was fulfilling his duty, and there was nothing to criticize.

Wei Changqing's heart turned ruthless. "Jiang Feng, don't blame me. If you must blame someone, blame yourself for having such astonishing talent yet being stupid to this degree. I'll first cripple your spine and turn you into a useless cripple. Let's see how you rise in the future!!"

The few who saw through Wei Changqing's intentions were angry but did not dare speak. After all, Wei Changqing had the Qi Family backing him. Moreover, Jiang Feng had a grudge with the Qi Family. If Wei Changqing strangled Jiang Feng in the cradle now, the Qi Family disciples might even heavily reward him. How would they dare stand out and stop him?

Even the Dragon Tower Master was hesitating at this moment over whether to stop Wei Changqing. The Dragon Tower Master could not interfere in struggles over power and profit. To a certain extent, he could not interfere with Wei Changqing killing someone.

"Ah, poor Jiang Feng. He had only just begun to reveal his brilliance, yet he has already invited strangulation."

Wei Changqing was solemnly certain that this claw would put an end to future troubles!
