Elder of the Yellow Sand Sect at Ninth Level of Qi Refining

"Ah!"

The remaining few finally snapped out of their bloodthirsty frenzy. Terrified out of their wits by the scene before them, they fled with shrill screams.

At last, Zhuge Feng turned around, his gaze fixed firmly on Ouyang Shuai, who had yet to make a move.

"Today, no one can stop me from killing you!"

"A year ago, you killed my parents. Now, I'll let you taste the despair of being killed!"

"Die!!!"

As Zhuge Feng's voice rang out, his body shot toward Ouyang Shuai like lightning.

With a flicker, he appeared before Ouyang Shuai.

"Pfft!"

His iron staff swept out, incomparably swift, like racing thunder. Its trajectory could not be seen at all.

Yet in the face of this ferocious strike, not only was there no fear on Ouyang Shuai's aged face, a cold smile even appeared.

"Whoosh!"

A flying sword shot out from the depths of Ouyang Estate at extreme speed, hurtling toward Zhuge Feng.

Zhuge Feng reacted quickly, raising his iron staff horizontally to block the flying sword.

"Boom!"

The flying sword collided with the massive iron staff, and explosive force swept through the surroundings.

A huge boulder nearby was sent flying, crashing down in the distance with a rumble as dust filled the sky.

Even Zhuge Feng was forced back several steps by that immense force, his hands going slightly numb.

"Haha! Little bastard, how was that? You want to kill me? Not a chance!"

Seeing the flying sword drive Zhuge Feng back, Ouyang Shuai threw back his head and laughed.

"You think my Ouyang Household was able to grow this large and powerful without any hidden trump cards?"

"You're merely at Fifth-Level Qi Refinement. No matter how heaven-defying your strength is, it is ultimately limited. Do you really think you can turn the heavens upside down?"

Hearing Ouyang Shuai's mockery, Zhuge Feng slowly raised his head.

However, he did not look at Ouyang Shuai. Instead, he stared into the depths of Ouyang Estate.

Two figures were slowly approaching from there.

One was an old man with white hair and beard.

The other wore lavish brocade robes and had the appearance of a young master from an Aristocratic Clan.

"Late Qi Refining!"

Zhuge Feng stared intently at the old man. He had not expected such an expert to be stationed behind the Ouyang Household!

"Hmph, if you want to kill my father, I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"

"Master, kill him!"

The young master glanced at Zhuge Feng and curled his lip disdainfully. Then he turned to the Late Qi Refining old man and said respectfully.

"Hehe, thank you for killing so many of my enemies. The strength of my Ouyang Household can now increase by more than double!"

Ouyang Shuai also walked over. Looking at Zhuge Feng with a sinister expression, he sneered.

Then he bowed to the Late Qi Refining elder. "Fortunately, Elder Huang was here with my worthless son. Otherwise, this old man would have been doomed today."

Hearing this, Elder Huang said indifferently, "For the sake of my disciple's father, I can act. However, once this is over, the immortal art belongs to me, and your Ouyang Household must also give me one thousand taels of gold."

At those words, the flesh on Ouyang Shuai's face twitched slightly, but he did not reveal it. He still said with a fawning smile:

"Elder Huang, you jest. Since you are willing to help this time, my Ouyang Household will certainly remember it in our hearts. One thousand taels of gold will definitely be delivered to the Yellow Sand Sect."

Elder Huang nodded indifferently in reply.

Ordinary people could be killed at will before the Ouyang Household, with no rights whatsoever.

But before the Yellow Sand Sect, the Ouyang Household was merely a money-making dog raised by the roadside!

"Yellow Sand Sect?"

Zhuge Feng frowned slightly. He had heard of this sect. It was the overlord of several towns within dozens of miles around Yellow Earth Town.

Its strength was even somewhat greater than that of the White Wolf Sect!

He had not expected the Ouyang Household to have dealings with the Yellow Sand Sect!

"Bang!"

Elder Huang stepped forward, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body, instantly locking onto Zhuge Feng.

He was no ordinary Late Qi Refining cultivator.

He had reached the Ninth Level of Qi Refining!

A full four minor realms above Zhuge Feng!

Such strength was already comparable to some of the Lingxiao Sect's stewards!

"This old man is an elder of the Yellow Sand Sect. Boy, you are quite good. If you hand over the immortal art, this old man can consider sparing your life."

Elder Huang stared coldly at Zhuge Feng.

Zhuge Feng gripped his iron staff tightly and said nothing, merely glaring fiercely at Ouyang Shuai and Elder Huang.

"Cultivation is not easy. Why suffer like this?" Elder Huang shook his head.

"Whoosh!"

The moment his words fell, he stomped fiercely on the ground. His entire body turned into an afterimage as he charged toward Zhuge Feng.

So fast!

Zhuge Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. He only had time to hold his iron staff horizontally before his chest.

Elder Huang formed hand seals with both hands, condensing them into a seal before smashing it viciously onto the iron staff.

The next moment, Zhuge Feng felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his entire body was sent flying.

"Bang!"

Zhuge Feng's body slammed into the courtyard wall, smashing a large hole through the thick wall.

"Pfft!"

The moment he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.

He possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root and had the aid of a spiritual artifact. He could defeat Sixth-Level Qi Refinement cultivators across realms, and might even have had a chance against Seventh-Level Qi Refinement.

But before Ninth Level of Qi Refining, he had no power to fight back at all!

Ninth Level of Qi Refining was terrifying beyond measure!

"Hehe...!"

Seeing this, a savage smile spread across Ouyang Shuai's face.

A mere Fifth-Level Qi Refinement cultivator was less than fart before an elder of the Yellow Sand Sect at Ninth Level of Qi Refining!

"Hm? A spiritual artifact?"

After his strike, Elder Huang looked at the completely unscathed iron staff in Zhuge Feng's hand. A trace of surprise appeared in his eyes, followed by greed.

A spiritual artifact was a Foundation Establishment realm treasure that even the Yellow Sand Sect's sect master did not possess!

With a spiritual artifact, his strength could increase by another thirty percent!

Its value could no longer be measured in gold!

He had to obtain such a treasure at any cost!

"Little bastard, obediently offer up the spiritual artifact!"

The next moment, Elder Huang burst forward. In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Zhuge Feng, extending his right hand to seize him, certain of success.

"Buzz!"

At that moment, a trace of madness appeared in Zhuge Feng's eyes, and the massive iron staff in his hand swept out horizontally.

"Clang~!"

The next instant, Elder Huang's right hand was struck by the iron staff, producing a crisp sound.

He gave a muffled grunt and rapidly retreated, his expression uncertain as he stared at Zhuge Feng.

This boy's strength had risen far too much in an instant!

Zhuge Feng slowly rose to his feet and stared fixedly at Elder Huang. In a low voice, he said, "Will you also block my revenge?"

His voice was icy to the extreme, as though even the air had frozen into frost!

Elder Huang's pupils suddenly contracted.

He could sense that Zhuge Feng was extremely dangerous now!

"Seventh-Level Qi Refinement? This aura... it is an Explosive Qi Pill that temporarily stimulates one's potential!"

"No wonder, no wonder your strength suddenly increased so much!"

A hint of apprehension appeared in Elder Huang's eyes, but there was even more greed.

The Explosive Qi Pill was powerful, but it was only a pill. Its duration was limited!

And even if he had reached Seventh-Level Qi Refinement, so what?

Elder Huang was at Ninth Level of Qi Refining. In terms of realm, he had Zhuge Feng completely crushed beneath him!

"Now, I need five thousand taels of gold."

Elder Huang said in a low voice, naming a new price.
