Overlord Sect, Zhang Yunfei

"I won't let you go! I swear, I'll have my brother grind your bones to dust and tear your corpse into ten thousand pieces!"

At that moment, Zhang Yaqin hid behind Mu Qianxue, glaring venomously at Xiao Yun with eyes that seemed ready to spit fire. Her face twisted viciously as she roared.

She, Zhang Yaqin, was a True Disciple of the Overlord Sect, a peerless prodigy who had stepped into the Forbidden Realm.

And her brother, Zhang Yunfei, was an unparalleled monster possessing the Five-Elements Divine Body. With such status and backing, who usually dared provoke her?

Yet today, she had actually been slapped in public. This was simply a colossal humiliation.

Zhang Yaqin was blazing with fury, trembling all over. Her once somewhat pretty face had become utterly distorted, and her eyes glared at Xiao Yun with poisonous hatred.

"Fine, I'll wait for your brother to come. Oh, right, my name is Xiao Yun. Remember to tell your brother not to seek out the wrong person," Xiao Yun said coldly, looking at Zhang Yaqin.

If they wanted to court death, he would not show mercy. Once they entered the True Dragon Nest, he would not mind going on a killing spree.

"You just wait..." Zhang Yaqin shot Xiao Yun a vicious glare, then immediately leapt away.

Mu Qianxue, standing nearby, looked at Xiao Yun as though she were looking at a dead man. She sighed softly. "You should not have acted. I was actually trying to save your life, but alas, such is your fate."

"So that was it. Fairy Mu wished to resolve this grudge and avert a massacre. No wonder everyone calls Fairy Mu a Bodhisattva reincarnated. She truly possesses great compassion!" someone nearby said admiringly.

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes. He was genuinely impressed by these people's way of thinking.

Looking at Mu Qianxue's sanctimonious pose, Xiao Yun snorted coldly. "So by your reasoning, if someone slaps my friend, we cannot strike back and can only swallow the loss?"

Mu Qianxue looked at Xiao Yun and said softly, "I know you feel unwilling and angry, but you should understand that sometimes, taking a step back opens up boundless seas and skies."

"Sorry, but I don't like taking steps back!" Xiao Yun snorted.

Mu Qianxue shook her head, seeming to sigh. "Stubborn impulsiveness can sometimes leave you battered and bloodied. Why go that far?"

Xiao Yun said coldly, "Perhaps my enemy will be rammed to death by me instead!"

"Confidence is good, but without strength to match it, it is merely grandstanding and inviting humiliation upon yourself." Mu Qianxue shook her head faintly.

Xiao Yun sneered. "How do you know I lack the strength to match it?"

Mu Qianxue brushed her hair lightly and said softly, "I would not dare claim to know all the heroes under heaven, but among the geniuses with special constitutions, throughout the entire Central Land, I know almost all of the younger generation. Yet among them, there is no one named Xiao Yun."

"Are special constitutions really that strong? Must ordinary bodies necessarily lose to special constitutions? I don't believe it!" Xiao Yun snorted.

Mu Qianxue looked at Xiao Yun and shook her head. "An ordinary body is ultimately just an ordinary body. It is born far inferior to special constitutions. This is universally acknowledged in the cultivation world; it cannot be refuted simply because you refuse to believe it."

Xiao Yun said coldly, "That only means your vision is shallow and your knowledge lacking."

His words angered the surrounding spectators.

"What an arrogant fellow!"

"He is simply too presumptuous!"

"He actually dared say Fairy Mu is shallow-minded. That is utterly outrageous."

"Once Zhang Yunfei arrives, let's see how he dies."

It had to be said that Mu Qianxue had quite a large crowd of admirers protecting her, making Xiao Yun the target of everyone's condemnation.

Xiao Yun could not be bothered with these nameless passersby whom even the author had not bothered to name. He turned to Tang Yunyun and asked, "Junior Sister Tang, are you all right?"

Tang Yunyun glanced at Mu Qianxue in the distance, then whispered to Xiao Yun, "Senior Brother Xiao, I caused you trouble. Hurry and leave. That Zhang Yunfei is very powerful."

Xiao Yun smiled faintly. "I have to go to the True Dragon Nest eventually. Even if I run now, how will I run once I am inside?"

Tang Yunyun froze, then her face filled with self-reproach. "It is all my fault that I harmed you!"

Xiao Yun shook his head with a smile. "You did nothing wrong, so how could you have harmed me?"

"She did nothing wrong, but you did!"

At that moment, an icy voice that pierced to the bone came from afar.

Everyone turned to look. A young man was striding over with the gait of a dragon and tiger. His black hair was like ink, his face looked carved by a blade, and his long brows reached into his temples. His eyes shone as brilliantly as stars, while an aura of supremacy over the world flowed from his entire body.

Behind him followed Zhang Yaqin, her face brimming with smug satisfaction. She held her head high, looking disdainfully over the crowd like a proud peacock.

But when Zhang Yaqin's gaze fell upon Xiao Yun, her face immediately filled with hatred, and her eyes turned venomous.

"Zhang Yunfei has arrived."

"Zhang Yunfei possesses the Five-Elements Divine Body. It is said that his strength already rivals the Holy Sons of those sacred lands, second only to that Space-Time Body from the Primordial Sacred Land."

"This kid named Xiao Yun is doomed."

Seeing the domineering figure beside Zhang Yaqin, the surrounding people revealed shocked expressions and cried out in alarm.

Some young geniuses in the distance also turned their gazes toward this place.

Originally, they had not paid Xiao Yun and Zhang Yaqin any attention. But now, not only was Mu Qianxue here, Zhang Yunfei was here as well, drawing their interest.

After all, both Mu Qianxue and Zhang Yunfei were among the foremost peerless monsters. Among this group of young cultivators, they could absolutely rank within the top ten.

"Who provoked Zhang Yunfei?"

"Interesting. Someone actually dared anger Zhang Yunfei. Was it a Holy Son from some sacred land?"

"There will be a good show."

Several geniuses surged toward the area.

These were all renowned powerhouses. Seeing them approach, the nameless spectators quickly made way.

In the field.

Zhang Yunfei's gaze was like lightning as he stared icily at Xiao Yun. With every step he took forward, an overwhelming pressure spread in all directions.

He had not deliberately released any powerful force. This was simply the aura he naturally gave off. Only truly peerless monsters could cultivate such an invincible bearing.

The surrounding air became incomparably oppressive, as though space itself had frozen. A terrifying aura swept out, making everyone feel as if a great mountain were pressing down upon them.

Zhang Yunfei's powerful aura moved the young geniuses who had rushed over, and shock appeared on their faces.

But when they looked at Xiao Yun again, they wore bewildered expressions. They could not understand how this seemingly ordinary "mortal" had the nerve to offend Zhang Yunfei.

"Do you regret it now?"

Suddenly, Mu Qianxue sighed softly beside him. She looked at Xiao Yun, seemingly wishing to see shock, fear, despair, and regret in his eyes.

She had encountered many, many people like this before.

Yet this time, she had misjudged him.

For there was not the slightest trace of fear or regret in Xiao Yun's eyes. He remained as calm and confident as ever.

Mu Qianxue had only seen such an expression in the eyes of peerless monsters.

"Zhang Yunfei? The Five-Elements Divine Body? Is it very strong?"

Xiao Yun gave Mu Qianxue an indifferent glance, then looked at Zhang Yunfei before him and said coldly, "I do not think you are very strong!"
