Chapter 176: The End of the Farce, A Confused Xiao Qingge
Fu Bo saw this and also struck with his palm. The two energies collided in mid-air, and with a loud “boom,” everything returned to calm.
Chen Feng was affected by the energy and was forced back several dozen meters before he could stop. His face didn’t look good, and he clutched his slightly aching chest, looking somewhat dispirited. Fu Bo, however, stood in place as if nothing had happened, smiling at Chen Feng.
With this exchange, the outcome was clear!
“This…” Watching the two fight back and forth in mid-air, Xiao Qingge’s expression was colorful—shock, confusion, and bewilderment… She had never encountered such things before and didn’t know that martial artists existed in this world.
“Is it unbelievable?” Jiang Che glanced at her and asked in a calm tone.
“It is indeed a bit unbelievable…” Xiao Qingge nodded woodenly. She had never imagined that there were martial artists in this world.
“Who would have thought that this remnant of the Chen family would become so powerful…” Mother Xiao’s expression was also colorful. She had thought Chen Feng had hired a few actors to show off, but he really had significant background and terrifying martial arts skills.
In six years, he had grown from a small pawn to a powerful throne. Most people couldn’t understand what he had been through.
“Mr. Chen, do you still want to fight?” In mid-air, Fu Bo looked at Chen Feng with some surprise.
His previous moves hadn’t held back at all. For most martial artists, encountering his attack would mean serious injury or death. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng’s physical condition was so good that he only suffered minor internal injuries.
“Come on!” Chen Feng steadied his breathing, his eyes showing a bit of frenzy as he looked at Fu Bo.
The stronger his opponent, the more excited he became! In the Northern Territory, he had experienced countless life-and-death situations. Facing a stronger enemy didn’t make him afraid. It was this belief that had supported him through numerous dangerous situations.
Without further ado, Chen Feng conjured a blue sword beam from his palm and, at lightning speed, aimed it at Fu Bo’s heart. The speed was so fast that it left only a fleeting blue sword flower in the air.
However, Fu Bo caught the trajectory of the sword beam. To others, the sword beam was incredibly fast, but to him, it was as slow as a snail. With a wave of his hand, an invisible barrier appeared in front of him. As the sword beam approached, the barrier dissipated its force.
Fu Bo then unleashed a lightning-shaped energy strike towards Chen Feng’s heart. Chen Feng was shocked, sensing a deadly threat. His intuition told him that if he didn’t block this attack, he would die here today.
Without hesitation, Chen Feng gathered all his inner strength and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
“Thud!” With the sound of the sword energy entering his body, Chen Feng fell from mid-air and slammed into the ground.
This time, he struggled for a long time but couldn’t get up, his face turning extremely pale. The sword energy had almost hit his heart, and he narrowly escaped death once again.
“Young man, although you are one of the Northern Territory’s four thrones, there are some people you can never afford to offend. Give up and return to the Northern Territory.” Fu Bo landed in front of Chen Feng and sighed.
He hoped that such a young talent wouldn’t die at the hands of his young master. Judging by his age, Chen Feng was about twenty-five and had reached the late stage of Transformation. If he didn’t die young, he would surely become a great power. But this guy was too flamboyant, daring to provoke his young master.
The wind destroys the outstanding tree.
Sometimes, being too ostentatious is not good. If the Northern War God had come, he might have had the conditions for equal negotiation with his young master.
After saying this, Fu Bo didn’t say more and returned to Jiang Che’s side. His words were clear; whether Chen Feng could heed them was up to him. He had seen many young talents like Chen Feng—Chu Tian, Ye Tian, Xiao Fan—who all ended up dead because they provoked his young master.
Jiang Che only wanted him to teach Chen Feng a lesson, not kill him. Otherwise, Chen Feng would already be a corpse.
“Ding, the host let someone beat Chen Feng, suppressing his arrogance and changing the plot. Reward: 2000 villain points.”
“Ding, Chen Feng’s luck decreased by 2000, reward: 4000 villain points.”
“System, open the attribute panel.”

Looking at the more than fifty thousand villain points remaining, Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction. He had gathered enough villain points to upgrade again.
Jiang Che walked out of the living room and approached Chen Feng, who had been dragged out of the pit by the Shadow Dragon Guards, “Mr. Chen, it’s better not to be so arrogant next time. Otherwise, you might suddenly die without knowing why.”
With that, Jiang Che left with Fu Bo and the others. He wasn’t in a hurry to kill Chen Feng, who still had about ten thousand fortune points. He would wait until he had drained all his value. As for Xiao Qingge, there was no rush. Once Chen Feng’s injuries healed, he could use her to agitate him again. This fool probably still thought that he had been forcing Xiao Qingge all along.
“Lord Tiansha, should we leave as well?” After Jiang Che left, a Shadow Dragon Guard supported Chen Feng and asked.
“Leave, leave the Xiao family…” Chen Feng said weakly and then fainted.
His injuries were too severe; he had been holding on by sheer willpower. Thus, dozens of Shadow Dragon Guards carried Chen Feng away. They left as humiliated as they had arrived.
And so, the farce ended.
Xiao Qingge watched Jiang Che’s departing figure, her expression complex and her mood melancholic, feeling a sense of confusion. She didn’t know why Jiang Che didn’t take her away this time, nor what the future held for her. She only knew she had no way out now…
