Bang!

Zhuge Feng viciously smashed the heavy object he held aloft onto the ground, making the entire courtyard hum and tremble.

This scene drew countless eyes. Everyone looked toward Zhuge Feng, discussing him in hushed voices.

"Zhuge Feng? Who's that?"

"What's under that black cloth? Just that impact when it hit the ground—it must weigh over a thousand pounds, right?"

"Over a thousand pounds? Didn't he lift it with one hand just now? Hiss..."

"Judging by this, he didn't come with good intentions!"

"You bastard!" Old Master Ouyang flew into a rage, pointing at Zhuge Feng as he roared, "What the hell are you to dare cause trouble in my Ouyang Household? You're courting death!"

"Go! Kill him!"

The four guards beside him immediately drew their blades and stepped forward.

Clang—!

The clash of metal rang throughout the venue. The four of them swung their weapons at Zhuge Feng, yet they could not harm even a single hair on his body!

Bang!

Bang, bang, bang!!

Zhuge Feng raised his hand and struck out. One palm each sent all four men flying to the ground, vomiting blood before passing out.

The guests were utterly shocked and hurriedly retreated several steps.

"Hmph!" Old Master Ouyang snorted coldly and rose to his feet, his expression grave as he looked at Zhuge Feng.

The power Zhuge Feng had displayed just now was absolutely not something an ordinary person could possess!

The newcomer was actually a Qi Refiner!

Only immortal cultivators could ignore mortal weapons and possess strength that crushed ordinary people.

Even so, he was not afraid.

How could the Ouyang Estate have stood firm for decades without some foundation?

Leaving aside anything else, even he himself was an immortal cultivator!

"Who exactly are you, to dare run wild in my Ouyang Estate!"

Old Master Ouyang shouted coldly, his body slightly bent as he assumed an attacking stance.

"Hehe." Zhuge Feng bared his teeth in a soft laugh. A fierce glint flashed through his eyes, cold to the bone.

"The one who came to kill you!"

"You arrogant brat!" Old Master Ouyang barked furiously. He stomped the ground and leaped into the air, sweeping a whip-like kick toward Zhuge Feng's head.

Fourth-Level Qi Refinement!

"Whoosh~" Even the air became razor-sharp, as though it could rip apart space.

This move was called Soul-Severing Whip Kick, Old Master Ouyang's famous martial technique.

Though he had only reached the beginner realm, its might was astonishing. Ordinary immortal cultivators could not withstand it at all.

Yet in Zhuge Feng's eyes, it was still not worth mentioning!

Whoosh!

Facing Old Master Ouyang's attack, Zhuge Feng merely reached out, caught it, and flung him away with force.

Bang~

A dull thud rang out as Old Master Ouyang flew sideways and crashed heavily onto the seat of honor.

His face was full of astonishment as he stared blankly at Zhuge Feng, looking as though he had seen a ghost.

"You... you... Fifth-Level Qi Refinement!"

Such a young Fifth-Level Qi Refinement cultivator!

Old Master Ouyang's eyes widened, his face filled with utter disbelief.

He was already sixty years old and had spent countless resources just to barely enter the Mid-Stage Qi Refinement.

Yet Zhuge Feng looked to be under twenty, and he had actually reached Fifth-Level Qi Refinement!

"Who exactly are you? When did my Ouyang Estate ever offend someone like you?"

The expression on Old Master Ouyang's face finally became incomparably solemn as he asked in a deep voice.

He had always acted cautiously and knew how to read the situation. He would never offend anyone he could not afford to offend, especially such a young favored son of heaven!

"Who am I? Ouyang Shuai, have you forgotten me so quickly?" Zhuge Feng sneered as he walked to the center.

"Hm? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Ouyang Shuai froze, his face full of confusion.

The many surrounding guests were also stunned. Some were puzzled, while others were bewildered.

Yet no matter how they searched their memories, they could not find any impression of Zhuge Feng!

"My parents were beaten to death by the men you ordered!" Zhuge Feng spoke slowly, his tone chilling and cold.

"Your parents?" Ouyang Shuai still frowned, unable to remember who they were.

He had killed far too many people. If servants made even the slightest mistake, he killed them. If he was in a bad mood, he killed them casually. If he was in too good a mood, he killed them too...

Though he had killed many, he had his own principles.

That was, everyone he killed was a servant. Those people were nothing but lowly commoners; there was no way they could seek revenge on him.

"One year ago, at your fifty-ninth birthday banquet, right here, a woman accidentally broke your teacup. Do you remember?"

"That was my mother. My father came to reason with you, and you had him beaten to death in the street as well. I was the ant you had disdained to kill back then!"

Zhuge Feng spoke coldly, every word ground out through clenched teeth.

Smack~!

Ouyang Shuai's entire body shook violently as if struck by lightning. He instantly remembered something and cried out, "It was you!?"

"How is that possible? One year ago, you were nothing more than a frail, pathetic mortal. How could you have cultivated to Fifth-Level Qi Refinement in such a short year!"

He did not believe it. He simply could not accept this reality.

Because it was simply too inconceivable.

One year—from a mortal to Fifth-Level Qi Refinement!

What kind of joke was this!

"You never expected it, did you? The ant you looked down on a year ago has come to seek revenge today!"

Zhuge Feng spoke indifferently. Terrifying cold light burst from his eyes, and killing intent spread through the air, suffocating everyone present.

"Today, Ouyang Shuai, you'll accept this grand gift whether you want to or not!"

With a wave of Zhuge Feng's hand, the black cloth was lifted away, revealing the "gift" within.

When the crowd saw that "gift," their faces changed drastically, and they stood dumbfounded!

It was an iron coffin!

Sending a coffin on someone's birthday celebration!

This was a fight to the death, with no end until one side perished!

"All irrelevant people, leave immediately. After three breaths, everyone remaining in this courtyard will be buried with them!"

Zhuge Feng's voice was low, as though it came from the Nine Nether Hell, brimming with killing intent.

Rustle~

As his words fell, the entire Ouyang Estate instantly sank into dead silence.

"Run!"

Some maids and servants trembled as they hurried out with their heads lowered. Zhuge Feng did not make things difficult for them.

After all, they were innocent people!

Every grievance had its debtor and every debt its creditor. Though his killing intent had surged wildly, he was by no means someone who slaughtered innocents indiscriminately.

However, just as a wealthy merchant was about to leave, a pebble suddenly struck his thigh, sending him to the ground howling.

Crack~

Thud!

He screamed miserably, clutching his thigh as he lay on the ground convulsing.

"When my parents were beaten to death a year ago, you were laughing beside them. How could I forget?"

Zhuge Feng's gaze was as cold as Ten-Thousand-Year Black Ice, radiating bone-piercing chill that made people tremble in terror.

This scene made some people shudder all over, because they too had been present one year ago, smiling and laughing just as they were today!

Back then, they had watched the servants get beaten to death with smiles on their faces, as though they were enjoying one farce after another.

Now, was it their turn?

"Everyone, are you really going to run?"

Ouyang Shuai suddenly spoke, narrowing his eyes as he stared at the guests.

"This brat cultivated to Fifth-Level Qi Refinement in only one year. Either he obtained a heaven-defying opportunity, or he acquired supreme Immortal Arts."

"All of you are outstanding figures from your respective regions. Either you possess exceptional skills, or you have powerful guards at your side. With so many of us, are we supposed to fear him alone?"

"As long as we kill him, we can divide the opportunity and Immortal Arts on him equally. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Ouyang Shuai spoke coldly, tempting them. "Everyone, you are all heroes of your own domains. Why fear a mere one person!"

Upon hearing his words, the guests hesitated at first, but then their hearts were moved.

That was right. No matter how strong Zhuge Feng was, he was only one man!

If he truly had heaven-defying Immortal Arts, then they would strike it rich!

Men died for wealth, birds died for food!

Fifth-Level Qi Refinement was indeed powerful, but there were quite a few Qi Refiners present as well. He had not yet reached the point of being invincible!

"What the Ouyang family head says is absolutely right. If we join forces, we will surely be able to kill him!"

"That's right. As long as we unite, there's no way he'll leave alive!"

At this, the other guests all voiced their agreement, greed flashing in their eyes.

As Zhuge Feng looked at the people around him, his expression grew colder and colder.

"I originally only planned to teach you a lesson. Looks like you're seeking death now."
