"Whoosh~~" Endless air waves surged wildly in all directions, tables and chairs around were sent flying, crushed by the overwhelming oppression into infinite fragments.
At that moment, Shangguan Qianqian’s True Essence shattered completely. Shocked, Shangguan Qianqian exclaimed, "How could this be!"
Shangguan Qianqian, who had been practicing high-level martial arts from a young age, the Xuanshui Triple Heaven, had three layers of force, each stronger than the last. But before even the first layer of force could erupt, Ye Feng crushed it as if smashing tofu with ease.
How could Shangguan Qianqian not be shocked? For a moment, she was utterly unable to accept what had happened.
However, this was not the end. Ye Feng’s palm turned into a claw and reached directly for Shangguan Qianqian’s throat, lifting her with ease as if she were a mere chick.
Shangguan Qianqian had no power to resist and was firmly grasped in Ye Feng’s hand.
"How could this be!" Shangguan Qianqian, shocked, looked at Ye Feng, her heart completely unable to accept this reality.
Shangguan Qianqian asked, "Are you from the Hidden Families, the Ye Family, or the Long Family?"
Ye Feng spoke coldly, "I am not from any Hidden Family; I come from the Southern Border!"
"Impossible! So young, yet possessing such strength, if not someone from the three great families of the Hidden Families, then who could it be? A mere mortal group of waste, how could there be a young powerhouse like you!" Shangguan Qianqian said in shock.
Ye Feng looked disdainful, "A genius from the Hidden Families, that’s all you are. Now, tell me, what is your purpose for being here?"
Shangguan Qianqian sneered, "Boy, I advise you to let me go. By killing a member of the Shangguan Family, my family can deal with you leniently. Otherwise, prepare to face the endless pursuit of the Shangguan Family!"
"As if I wouldn’t dare to kill you just because you are a woman!" Ye Feng raged, murderous intent erupting.
That terrifying murderous intent, like endless icy blades, relentlessly pierced into Shangguan Qianqian’s body.
Shangguan Qianqian felt her body as if it were being torn apart, in unbearable pain. Deep in her heart, she felt as though she was facing a bloodthirsty Killing God from hell, whose fierce murderous aura made her heart tremble incessantly.
Shangguan Qianqian was shocked. It was the first time she realized her Shangguan Family’s name was of no use, her own Grandmaster strength entirely futile, and she experienced what it was like to be truly afraid.
"You... what are you going to do?" Shangguan Qianqian looked at Ye Feng in shock, her voice trembling.
"Hurting my fellow Dragon Country citizen, scorning life, I shall see you on your way..." Ye Feng’s calm voice sounded like the final declaration from a desperado sending Shangguan Qianqian into despair.
"Master, please show mercy!" It was at this time that Liu Shengyuan exclaimed loudly.
Ye Feng then stopped and looked at Liu Shengyuan, "Why do you plead for her?"
Liu Shengyuan said, "Master, the Shangguan Family is one of the three great Hidden Families. The Shangguan Family Ancestor, Shangguan Haonan, once helped the Southern Border repel foreign enemies, slaying two Legendary realm experts from country E, and made contributions to Dragon Country. The Shangguan Family has always had good relations with the major war zones of Dragon Country. For the sake of the Shangguan Family Ancestor, please spare Shangguan Qianqian."
After hearing Liu Shengyuan’s words, Ye Feng nodded, "All right then!"
Following that, Ye Feng tossed Shangguan Qianqian out as if she were trash.
This was a huge blow to the pride of Shangguan Qianqian, who had always been treated with high respect. Being treated like trash was something she had never experienced before, and she found it unacceptable.
Keep in mind that Shangguan Qianqian was indeed a daughter of the Hidden Family, standing at the pinnacle of the younger generation in Dragon Country. How could everyone not show her the utmost respect? Yet, Ye Feng was the first to dismiss her as if she were nothing.
Ye Feng looked at Shangguan Qianqian, "Speak, what is your purpose in coming here?"
Knowing that Ye Feng was even more arrogant than herself and didn’t take the Shangguan Family seriously, Shangguan Qianqian had no choice but to compromise, "Last month, the physician of the Shangguan Family passed away, leaving the position vacant. My family sent me to the mundane world to find a highly skilled physician to take on the role in the Shangguan Family.
I heard that today a Traditional Chinese Medicine exchange competition was being held here, where the four Great Saints and the Divine Doctor were gathering. Therefore, I came here, only to see that none of you five had made a move. Anxious, I injured the spectators to see how good your medical skills were, so as to select one for the Shangguan Family’s physician position."
When Ye Feng heard Shangguan Qianqian’s words, he was infuriated, "If not for your Shangguan Family Ancestor’s contributions to Dragon Country, I would have certainly turned you into a lost soul beneath my blade today!"
Shangguan Qianqian glared at him angrily, "Then kill me if you dare! My Shangguan Family will stop at nothing against you!"
"Fine, I’ll grant your wish!" said Ye Feng coldly. To someone like Shangguan Qianqian, who showed such a disregard for life, Ye Feng had no intention of showing mercy.
Just as Ye Feng prepared to take her life, Shangguan Qianqian stared back at him, fearless in her rage.
"Seniors, something terrible has happened!" At that moment, Han Yi came rushing over frantically.
"Something terrible, seniors! There are several victims who are gravely injured; I’m afraid they won’t make it," Han Yi said with urgency.
"Let’s go! Take me to see!" Ye Feng immediately immobilized Shangguan Qianqian’s movements, picked her up, and headed towards the injured.
There, around forty injured individuals lay on the ground, suffering from wounds all over their bodies due to the explosion, bleeding profusely.
Especially the four people on the far right, their blood kept pouring out, with shocking gashes across their chests.
"This is not good; the wounds are too large, they’re losing blood too fast, I’m afraid it’s hopeless," said President Han and Wang Xunfeng helplessly after seeing the situation, feeling utterly dismayed.
However, at that moment, Ye Feng took out his silver needles and said to Liu Shengyuan and the three others, "I’ll remove the shards from their bodies and stop the bleeding. You take care of the rest and save their lives!"
"Yes!" The four Great Saints responded almost simultaneously, their eyes shining with excitement.
Since Ye Feng had spoken, it meant he was confident in saving them. If Ye Feng had had no confidence, he wouldn’t have bothered to waste his time and effort.
Ye Feng approached the first victim. He gathered his True Essence in his hand and gently tapped the victim’s chest. Instantly, the fragments in the victim’s chest flew out, and just as the blood was about to gush out, Ye Feng’s silver needles swiftly penetrated the wound to stop the bleeding.
