Those Defeated by Me Have Never Been Worthy of Being My Opponents

Those Defeated by Me Have Never Been Worthy of Being My Opponents...

For a moment.

The atmosphere in Shoujing Hall gradually became somewhat subtle.

Song Daren and the others shot Qi Hao strange looks. They had not expected the eldest senior brother of Dragon Head Peak to harbor such thoughts?!

Guide Lin Jingyu into making a mistake?

Then make Dazhu Peak's Peak Master detest him?

Why would Qi Hao do that? Could it be because Lin Jingyu had offended him?

Or perhaps...

This eldest senior brother of Dragon Head Peak had sensed a threat from Lin Jingyu?!

Heh heh~

Come to think of it.

Qi Hao had cultivated for nearly a hundred years and had only reached the Jade Purity Ninth Layer. But what about Lin Jingyu?

He had cultivated for less than five years.

Yet he had already reached the Jade Pure Fifth Layer.

Perhaps in another ten years, he would catch up to Qi Hao?

By then.

Lin Jingyu would be a strong contender for Dragon Head Peak's next Peak Master...

Qi Hao would surely be wary of him.

Tian Buyi gave Qi Hao a deep look.

This man was deeply calculating.

He actually dared to scheme against and make use of a peak's master?

Heh heh~

As expected of that old thief Cang Song's disciple.

At that moment.

When Qi Hao heard Ji Changfeng's words, his expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to explain himself, Lin Jingyu, standing nearby with a frown, stepped forward.

"Ji Changfeng, what are you talking about?"

"How could Senior Brother Qi possibly harm me? Don't slander him for no reason!"

Lin Jingyu's words were rather harsh.

After all, he was a simple-minded youth, stubborn to the core. He had been schemed against without even realizing it.

Ji Changfeng could not be bothered to argue with him.

But an apology still had to be made...

Boom—

Ji Changfeng lightly raised his hand.

A massive Sword Intent erupted and bore down directly upon Lin Jingyu.

"Kneel and apologize to my master and mistress."

Ji Changfeng spoke blandly.

"You..." Lin Jingyu's face flushed red.

He had wanted to say something, but the sudden Sword Intent mercilessly crushed down upon him.

Forcing him to his knees on the spot.

Thud—

Lin Jingyu knelt on the ground, his face red as he tried to force himself to stand against the Sword Intent, but...

Was that possible?

Rip—

The sharp Sword Intent pierced his skin.

It left him completely unable to muster any strength.

Ji Changfeng slightly turned his head and looked calmly at Qi Hao.

"And you?"

"Is there anything else you wish to say?"

Qi Hao's heart jolted at those words.

That level of strength...

He was at least at the Jade Purity Ninth Layer!

It was hard to believe that Ji Changfeng had entered the sect only five years ago, yet already possessed the strength of the Jade Purity Ninth Layer?

Hiss—

Terrifying indeed!

As expected of a Monster-level Genius who had reached the Jade Pure First Layer overnight!

Without hesitation, Qi Hao dropped to his knees before Tian Buyi and his wife.

"This disciple, Qi Hao, failed in his guidance, causing Junior Brother Lin to violate Dazhu Peak's rules. I beg Uncle Tian and Aunt Su for forgiveness."

After saying that.

Qi Hao hurriedly looked toward Lin Jingyu and gave him a meaningful glance, telling him to quickly admit his fault...

There was no helping it.

The stronger side held the advantage.

Not to mention that Ji Changfeng had seen through all his little schemes.

"I won't! Why should I apologize? I refuse to apologize to this fat bastard!"

Lin Jingyu suddenly shouted, his face flushed crimson.

Though he had been pressed flat to the floor.

His mouth could still move!

Qi Hao's expression immediately changed at those words.

His little schemes were one thing.

Those were minor matters.

But Lin Jingyu calling Tian Buyi a fat bastard was no minor matter...

Sure enough.

After hearing Lin Jingyu call him a "fat bastard," Tian Buyi, who had remained silent all this time, immediately darkened.

But before he could speak.

Ji Changfeng's expression turned cold as he rebuked, "Insolence!"

As soon as he spoke.

Boom—

Sword Intent erupted violently from Ji Changfeng's body, sending Lin Jingyu flying straight out of Shoujing Hall without hesitation.

"Junior Brother Lin..."

Qi Hao's face changed.

Ignoring all etiquette, he swiftly rose and chased after Lin Jingyu.

He had come to Dazhu Peak under his master's orders to accompany Lin Jingyu on a visit to friends. If anything happened to Lin Jingyu, Qi Hao would not get off lightly either...

Whoosh!

Qi Hao flashed forward.

In an instant, he arrived behind Lin Jingyu and caught him.

Boom—

But at that moment, the Sword Intent clinging to Lin Jingyu shifted and charged directly at Qi Hao.

"Hm?"

Qi Hao's expression tightened at the sight.

Whoosh!

He hastily raised the Cold Ice Sword and cast a spell, forming an ice wall before him.

Rumble!

The Sword Intent struck the ice wall and shattered it at once...

Qi Hao glanced worriedly at Lin Jingyu.

Fortunately, Lin Jingyu was not hurt.

But even if Qi Hao had not caught Lin Jingyu, he would have been fine.

Ji Changfeng had not used much force. The earlier Sword Intent had merely sent Lin Jingyu flying...

"Ji Changfeng! You've gone too far!" Lin Jingyu's face was flushed.

Holding his Artifact, he charged straight at Ji Changfeng, looking as though he intended to fight to the death.

"Junior Brother Lin..."

Qi Hao reached out to stop him.

But he carelessly failed to grab hold of Lin Jingyu.

"Heh heh~" Ji Changfeng smiled faintly. He looked indifferently at Lin Jingyu and Qi Hao, his tone rather cold. "The two of you can come at me together."

After saying that.

Ji Changfeng waved his hand first, sending out a streak of Sword Qi that knocked Lin Jingyu unconscious on the spot.

"..." Everyone was dumbstruck.

Zhang Xiaofan hurried out in concern. "Jingyu..."

On one side was his Seventh Senior Brother, who often guided him. On the other was his childhood companion. Zhang Xiaofan was deeply conflicted.

He did not know which side to help.

At that moment.

Qi Hao's expression was grave.

He glanced into Shoujing Hall and saw Tian Buyi's indifferent expression. He seemed to have no intention of intervening.

Qi Hao gritted his teeth.

He held the Cold Ice Sword upright and cupped his hands toward Ji Changfeng. "Then I ask Junior Brother Ji for guidance."

Both of them were at the Jade Purity Ninth Layer.

He refused to believe he could not defeat the other man...

So what if he was a Monster-level Genius?

He had only cultivated for five years.

How could he compare to Qi Hao?!

Ji Changfeng held the two Divine Swords, Ink Snow and Dragon Slayer, in his arms and merely smiled without speaking.

Jade Purity Ninth Layer?

That was not even enough to qualify him to draw his sword.

"Why does Junior Brother Ji not draw his sword?" Qi Hao frowned.

Ji Changfeng smiled faintly instead of answering. "Senior Brother Qi, make your move."

Why did he not draw his sword?

Because you were unworthy!

Qi Hao's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. He said coldly, "In that case, Junior Brother Ji, be careful."

As soon as he spoke.

He raised the Cold Ice Sword and cast a spell. Ice spikes abruptly appeared one after another, then rapidly shot toward Ji Changfeng.

Whoosh—

Ji Changfeng casually waved his hand and softly called out:

"Two Sleeves of Azure Serpents!"

The moment his words fell.

An immensely powerful Sword Intent erupted.

It instantly crushed the incoming ice spikes into powder.

Rumble!

The Sword Intent rang out clearly.

Two Sleeves of Azure Serpents seemed to transform into a lithe, dancing Green Snake.

It swept toward Qi Hao in an instant.

"Not good..." Qi Hao's face changed.

He hurriedly raised the Cold Ice Sword to defend himself, but...

That Sword Intent was too fast.

It reached him in the blink of an eye and blasted him away.

Since it was merely a spar.

Ji Changfeng had not used much strength.

Besides, Qi Hao was Cang Song's disciple. Even if he had done wrong, Ji Changfeng could not strike too heavily.

They still had to give Uncle Cang Song some face.

After all...

In recent years, Cang Song had treated Ji Changfeng exceptionally well, calling him "Nephew Changfeng" at every turn. He was practically closer to him than to his own disciples.

"Junior Brother Ji..."

"Excellent swordsmanship."

Qi Hao rose to his feet somewhat unsteadily.

He looked at Ji Changfeng with a hint of fear in his eyes. He had not expected his strength to be this formidable.

Could it be...

that he had already broken through to the Supreme Purity Realm?

Impossible, right?

Qi Hao had his doubts.

With an unpleasant expression, he cupped his hands toward Ji Changfeng and said, "I lost this sparring match. I hope that at the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament, I'll be able to compete with Junior Brother Ji again..."

At that, Ji Changfeng smiled faintly.

He calmly turned around, leaving Qi Hao with a proud, solitary back. His indifferent voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Compete with me? Heh..."

"Those I have defeated have never been worthy of being considered my opponents. I'll give you time to catch up..."

"Until you can no longer even glimpse my back!"
