"Yan Haotian, I heard you have a good relationship with that boy. I hope you won’t interfere in this matter, do you understand?"
Wu Kun was somber, his authority emanating as he swept his gaze toward Yan Haotian.
In the villa of Xiangxie Garden, it wasn’t until nearing noon that Xiao Yifeng awakened from his cultivation, his eyes twinkling with a sharp gleam.
Overnight, he had absorbed dozens of Blood Crystals, significantly enhancing his strength and bringing him just a hair’s breadth away from the Qi Condensation Realm. However, breaking through that hair’s breadth would require a specific opportunity to arise.
Stepping out of the room, Ye Yashi was sitting on the villa’s sofa.
"Brother-in-law, I’m hungry. Shall we go out to eat?"
Ye Yashi looked at Xiao Yifeng and quickly said.
Xiao Yifeng nodded and led Ye Yashi out, with Tian Tu and Jian Yun following behind them.
"By the way, Brother-in-law, I had that Pagani shipped over to Yanjing. You should drive it."
Ye Yashi suddenly said to Xiao Yifeng.
"You had it shipped over to Yanjing!"
Xiao Yifeng was somewhat surprised.
"Yeah, I originally wanted to drive to school by myself, but then my sister feared for my safety and wouldn’t let me. Instead, she arranged for someone to personally take me to and from school."
Ye Yashi said with a hint of helplessness.
Soon after, Xiao Yifeng saw that limited edition Pagani sports car. Along with Ye Yashi, Tian Tu, and Jian Yun, he left Xiangxie Garden and headed to the city to find a place to eat.
Choosing a decent restaurant, Xiao Yifeng booked a private room, and the four of them started eating.
However, midway through the meal, the door to the private room was abruptly opened. A man wearing a plain white robe with shoulder-length hair entered—it was Jing Shangcheng.
Xiao Yifeng’s gaze swept toward him.
"Jing Shangcheng, the one here to take your life!"
Jing Shangcheng stated decisively, a fierce killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes narrowed as he spat, "Sent by the Wu Family?"
Jing Shangcheng’s figure flickered, with no time wasted talking, he burst toward Xiao Yifeng, launching a palm strike that unleashed a tremendous force of True Qi, sweeping towards Xiao Yifeng.
Tian Tu suddenly darted forward, throwing a punch that intercepted Jing Shangcheng’s strike. The terrifying power erupted, instantly shattering everything in the room, including the table, into pieces.
Tian Tu’s body staggered back five or six steps, shattering the floor beneath him.
Tian Tu’s gaze fixed on his opponent, then his eyes filled with excitement.
Tian Tu’s body burst forward again, his entire power erupting as he launched a comprehensive attack on Jing Shangcheng.
Facing Tian Tu’s onslaught, Jing Shangcheng’s expression remained calm throughout, his hands parried, enduring the ferocity of the attacks.
Jing Shangcheng’s strength indeed surpassed that of Wuu Yaohua, having reached the late stage of the Entering Saint Realm.
Another dull thunderous boom sounded, Tian Tu’s body was again forced back repeatedly, clearly no match for Jing Shangcheng.
"You’re not from the Wu Family, are you?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Jing Shangcheng and couldn’t help but say.
"I don’t want to kill you, but for my woman, you must die!"
Jing Shangcheng looked at Xiao Yifeng with a cold expression.
Then, Jing Shangcheng charged at Xiao Yifeng once again.
"Thinking of killing the Young Master? Dream on!"
Tian Tu suddenly roared fiercely, all his power erupting from within him as the Jiuyou Witch Knife appeared in his hand. He viciously slashed towards Jing Shangcheng, the terrifying blade aura seeming to obliterate heaven and earth.
With one strike, Jing Shangcheng was forced to continuously retreat, his body hitting the wall with a muffled sound.
Tian Tu’s roar resembled that of a fierce beast. His massive frame wielding the Jiuyou Witch Knife, he hammered down ferociously at Jing Shangcheng once more, the blade gleaming brilliantly, releasing a formidable blade aura.
The strike missed as Jing Shangcheng dodged it, the blade shattering a wall within the room and alarming everyone in the restaurant.
Tian Tu, like a war machine, wielded the Jiuyou Witch Knife, gathering all his strength, channeling the power of his bloodline, and launching a frantic attack at Jing Shangcheng.
With the aid of the Jiuyou Witch Knife, Tian Tu resembled an ancient War God—his combat power soaring. Even though Jing Shangcheng was two realms higher, he didn’t dare to face the blade head-on.
Finally, after several exchanges, Jing Shangcheng pulled out his own weapon—a silver long spear.
The spear flickered like a Jiaolong emerging from the sea, aiming directly for Tian Tu’s critical point.
A sharp, ear-piercingclang resounded as the two weapons collided, unleashing powerful forces that pushed both men back.
However, Jing Shangcheng’s spear trembled violently after the strike, clearly no match for the Jiuyou Witch Knife, a heritage from the ancient Witch God. The opponent’s spear, merely a Medium-grade Spiritual Weapon, stood no chance against it.
Tian Tu roared again, concentrating all his strength into the Jiuyou Witch Knife, sweeping out with terrifying force, and slashing down with a bright blade aura that spanned like a rainbow.
Jing Shangcheng’s spear waved continuously, countless spear shadows bursting forth, eventually forming a silver Jiaolong that swept towards the blade aura.
The blade aura and the spear aura Jiaolong collided, a formidable wind sweeping in all directions, instantly demolishing the entire room. Xiao Yifeng, Ye Yashi, and Jian Yun were all forced to retreat repeatedly.
Under the strike, both men spat blood, their bodies continuously retreating, neither seeming to gain much of an upper hand. However, Tian Tu, merely at the Initial Stage of the Entering Saint Realm, managed to fight on par with a Late Stage expert, proving his formidable power.
"That’s enough, stop fighting!"
Just as Jing Shangcheng was about to make another move, Yan Haotian appeared.
Xiao Yifeng approached Yan Haotian, speaking.
Jing Shangcheng looked at Yan Haotian and called out.
"Shangcheng, I understand your feelings, but him, you cannot kill, or Yanjing would surely be thrown into chaos," Yan Haotian sternly said to Jing Shangcheng.
Jing Shangcheng wanted to say something but was immediately interrupted by Yan Haotian.
"I know what you want to say, though I don’t know how your girlfriend was injured, but the one who can save your girlfriend isn’t necessarily only from Medicine King Valley."
"Moreover, although the Wu Family has ties with Medicine King Valley, whether they can invite a real Alchemy master to treat your girlfriend is uncertain, yet here we have someone who might be able to save your girlfriend," Yan Haotian said.
