Chapter 196: A Late-Night Visit!

"You... Who are you?"

The young man in purple trembled with fear, hastily seeking refuge behind several guards. His eyes widened in disbelief as he observed his writhing subordinates on the ground, before turning his gaze towards Ling Feng. It was clear to him that he had kicked an iron plate[1] this time.

"Hmph, let me tell you. This is my big brother, Ling Feng!"

With his head held high, Ouyang Jing strode over confidently, a subtle smirk forming at the corners of his mouth.

What kind of character was Ling Feng? Even an expert at the tenth level of the Pulse Formation Realm couldn't withstand a single move from him. This random lackey from an unknown family was simply like a person lighting a lamp in a dung heap, someone seeking death[2]!

"Ling Feng?" The young man in purple cursed loudly. "I don't care what your name is; dare to lay a hand on me, and I'll..."

Midway through his words, he suddenly seemed to recall something, his eyes twitched, and he exclaimed, "You... You're that Ling Feng? The one ranked thirty-fifth on the leaderboard?" Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

You see, those in the top one hundred of the leaderboard were the elites among elites, and Ling Feng's name, particularly due to his talent in sacred-tier true qi, had been widely spread, making him a prominent figure.

Although this young man in purple came from a respectable family background, he was only ranked in the three hundred range on the leaderboard, a far cry from Ling Feng.

"Gulp." The young man in purple swallowed hard. He forced out a very unattractive smile and attempted to flatter, "So, it's Big Boss Ling! I... hehe... I..."

"Get lost!"

A hint of disdain flashed in Ling Feng's eyes; he genuinely looked down on such a cowardly and arrogant individual.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The young man in purple dared not even utter a word. He hastily ordered his servants to tidy up the room for him, and departed in embarrassment.

As he turned away, a hint of resentment flickered in his narrow eyes.

Ling Feng took it all in. Having just enrolled today, he didn't want to cause trouble. However, if this young man in purple didn't know his place, Ling Feng wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

Turning his gaze to Jiang Xiaofan, Ling Feng addressed him casually by saying, "Xiaofan, you're no longer just a peasant. In the martial world, strength reigns supreme. Without the heart of the strong, no amount of perseverance or determination will amount to anything."

Jiang Xiaofan's eyes sparkled with excitement as he echoed softly, "The heart of the strong..."

"Very well, I trust you'll grasp the concept," Ling Feng said with a faint smile. "Let's go, we should also tidy up our quarters."

The Primordial Lock was indeed formidable, but with the suppression and blockade of true qi, the difficulty of cultivation undoubtedly increased several times. Without Ling Feng's ability to unlock the human dao divine inscription, it would have been difficult for his cultivation to make any progress.

"It seems that this Qi-Refining Primordial Lock is somewhat like a secret technique tailor-made for me."

Ling Feng exhaled a sigh of foul air. He was ready to dedicate the latter half of the night to cultivating the True Art of Xuanyuan, aiming for another breakthrough soon.

Just then, a shadow flickered past his window, followed by what seemed like a gust of wind, and Ling Feng's door opened automatically.

"Who's there?"

Frowning, Ling Feng quickly activated his Heavenly Dao Eye to expand his Boundless Vision.

Everything around him became clear in his mind. He distinctly saw a figure, moving at incredible speed, flash from the courtyard and dart into his room.

"Who are you!?"

Drawing his sword in a swift motion, Ling Feng unleashed the Blood Lotus Sword Song, slashing down fiercely.

Ding!

A clear, crisp sound echoed as the intruder flicked a finger, effortlessly deflecting Ling Feng's full-force strike of the Eradicator of Realms, as if it were nothing.

"Not bad, kid. You actually managed to detect my presence. Your eyesight is impressive!"

A very familiar voice suddenly sounded in Ling Feng's ear.

Ling Feng's eyes twitched as he suddenly remembered where he had heard that voice. This voice was unmistakably that of that old lunatic, Yan Cangtian, he had encountered before!

"Senior Yan?" Ling Feng retracted his Eradicator of Realms, surprised. "Why are you visiting at this late hour?"

"Hehehe..." Yan Cangtian grinned, reaching out and grabbing Ling Feng's shoulder. "I'm taking you to a good place!"

Before Ling Feng could respond, he was dragged out of the room by Yan Cangtian. Yan Cangtian's speed was so incredible that Ling Feng could only catch a blur with his eyes.

Then, with a sweep of his sleeve, Yan Cangtian closed all the doors and windows in an instant, as if nothing had happened...

1. Thinking that someone else is an easy target to bully, but finding out that the other person is more formidable than oneself. ☜

2. Although the author used the word "death," they actually meant "trouble," as "death" (Si) and "trouble" (Shi) sound similar. ☜
