Chapter 210: Chapter 210: This Hall Will Make You Regret _1
The area of Pan County was no smaller than Yan Province.
The population was also comparable.
However, on the way to Pan County’s Imperial City, Qin Feiyang clearly sensed that Pan County’s overall strength was a tier above Yan Province.
This was because even an ordinary small town boasted hundreds of martial masters.
In contrast, Iron Bull Town, with all its martial masters combined, wouldn’t exceed fifty.
No wonder the old woman in green and her companion were so confident.
Pan County’s Imperial City was named King Pan City.
Its scale was similar to Yan City.
At this moment, atop King Pan City’s walls stood proud youths, some teenagers, some older.
The oldest among them was no more than twenty-five.
"Why haven’t the people from Yan Province arrived yet?"
"I’m getting antsy. I really hope they hurry up!"
"Don’t get your hopes too high. According to the princess, the people from Yan Province aren’t all that."
"Regardless, the princess ordered us to give them a show of force. We must carry it out!"
"That’s right! We need to make them pay double for the grievances the princess suffered in Yan Province!"
These individuals were the cream of King Pan City’s younger generation.
Right now, they were all full of vigor and high spirits.
To boot, a large crowd had gathered on the plains below.
"Look, someone’s flying over!" a person in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, pointing into the distance.
Everyone looked over.
A dazzling streak of light shot towards King Pan City at a speed difficult to discern with the naked eye.
WHOOSH!
The streak of light abruptly halted in mid-air, dozens of meters away.
It was Qin Feiyang and his group!
"Are these the young elites of Yan Province?"
"They don’t look particularly outstanding!"
"But those few women are rare beauties, indeed."
The group of young people on the city wall largely ignored Qin Feiyang and the men, their gazes fixed on Lo Qingzhu, Feng Ling’er, and the other women.
Meanwhile, the First Prince and his companions were also observing the people of King Pan City.
Their brows furrowed deeply!
Ling Yunfei’s lips curled into a playful smile. "Quite the welcoming committee. It seems we’re very popular!"
"Popular?" Xia Qianqian scoffed, not bothering to hide her sarcasm.
Qin Feiyang glanced at Xia Qianqian and chuckled. "You arranged this, didn’t you?"
"So what if I arranged it?" Xia Qianqian, far from denying it, stared defiantly at Qin Feiyang and his group. "If you can’t even handle them, you’re not qualified to enter King Pan City."
"Little errand girl, is this any place for you to speak?" the Rogue Wolf glanced at her disdainfully, a look that nearly made Xia Qianqian fly into a rage.
This accursed Rogue Wolf had been calling her ’little errand girl’ incessantly on the journey, and she had no patience left for him.
"You just wait!" Xia Qianqian glared furiously at the Rogue Wolf, then said, "Grandma Hua, let’s go over."
The old woman in green left Qin Feiyang’s group and flew towards the city wall with only Xia Qianqian.
Jiang Zhengyi chuckled. "Your Excellency, is this how Pan County treats its guests?"
The expressions on Jia Hei and Elder Lin’s faces had turned utterly grim!
"As Qianqian said, if the young people you’ve brought can’t even get past the city gate, then there’s no need to proceed with this friendly competition," the old woman in green replied without turning her head.
"Arrogant!" Jia Hei and Elder Lin seethed.
The First Prince and the others also clenched their fists, their eyes blazing with fury.
They had traveled thousands of miles to King Pan City, only to be barred at the gates. This was a blatant, naked humiliation!
WHOOSH!
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Zhengyi led Qin Feiyang and the others to land on the ground.
The crowd below quickly retreated into the distance.
Jia Hei scanned Qin Feiyang and his companions, then roared, "What are you standing around for? Go! Kill or cripple them, I’ll take responsibility!"
"AHEM!" Jiang Zhengyi coughed dryly. "Elder Jia, mind your image."
"They’re already trampling all over us! What image is there to mind?" Jia Hei was practically bristling, his beard quivering with rage as he glared. "Qin Feiyang! Rogue Wolf! Weren’t you two so arrogant in Yan City? How come you’ve turned into cowards now that you’re here? Show me that arrogance of yours!"
Qin Feiyang and the Rogue Wolf were somewhat taken aback.
Although they detested this old man, his current display was indeed quite domineering.
"So that’s Qin Feiyang."
"I heard he’s a top-grade Alchemist and has already opened the second layer of the Door of Potential. People from the state office even went to Yan Province personally to recruit him."
"Impressive, truly impressive. I just wonder if his skills are as formidable."
The surrounding crowd looked at Qin Feiyang curiously, whispering among themselves.
"Qin Feiyang, you dared to bully the princess! Today, I demand you kneel before everyone and kowtow in apology to her!"
A youth of about twenty, dressed in purple, leaped down from the city wall and strode arrogantly towards Qin Feiyang.
"Whoa, he’s got some nerve, huh?" the Rogue Wolf yelped.
"Brother Wolf, no need for you to intervene. I’ll handle him!" Ling Yunfei stepped forward, a wicked grin on his lips.
The youth in purple stopped, looked Ling Yunfei up and down, and said disdainfully, "And who do you think you are, to be qualified to fight me?"
"I’m your ancestor," Ling Yunfei chuckled.
"You’re courting death!" The youth in purple was furious. His aura exploded forth as he charged toward Ling Yunfei.
"Just a Nine-Star martial master?" A smirk touched the corners of the First Prince and the others’ mouths.
They had all witnessed Ling Yunfei’s strength. Within the same cultivation realm, he was absolutely invincible!
"Foul mouth! You deserve a slap!" As the youth in purple closed in, he threw a slap at Ling Yunfei, his demeanor arrogant.
"Trash," Ling Yunfei uttered softly. Executing the Return to Origin Step, he moved like a phantom, instantly appearing behind the youth in purple.
Then, he lifted his foot and kicked the youth’s backside.
BANG!
Instantly, the youth in purple fell face-first into the dirt, getting a mouthful of mud.
"This..." The surrounding crowd was dumbfounded.
The elites on the city wall were also stunned into silence.
He lost just like that? Keep in mind, Ling Yunfei hadn’t even truly attacked yet!
"Impossible!" the youth in purple roared, scrambling to his feet.
SMACK!
Just as he got up, Ling Yunfei stepped before him, arm swinging, and delivered a vicious slap across his face.
The sound of the slap was exceptionally loud!
The youth in purple’s face contorted instantly. Teeth, mixed with blood, sprayed from his mouth.
His entire body was sent flying once more, crashing hard onto the ground, and he screamed in agony.
"Well hit!" The First Prince and the others roared with laughter.
Their opponent had wanted to slap Ling Yunfei, but ended up being slapped himself. Nothing could be more satisfying!
Ling Yunfei turned to Jia Hei and asked, "Elder Jia, if I kill or cripple him, will you really take responsibility?"
"I will!" Jia Hei nodded without hesitation.
"In that case, I won’t hold back!" Ling Yunfei muttered.
He whipped his head around to look at the youth in purple. His entire demeanor changed in an instant!
A horrifyingly murderous aura enveloped him! This aura had been slowly cultivated through countless life-and-death battles alongside Qin Feiyang.
Seeing this, the old woman in green’s expression changed drastically. She shouted, "The victor is decided! Do not take his life!"
SWIPE!
However, Ling Yunfei paid her no heed. Using the Return to Origin Step, he was before the purple-robed youth in two strides.
"You dared to demand Qin Feiyang kneel in public? You truly are tired of living!" Ling Yunfei was seething. He lifted his foot, True Qi erupting, and aimed a fierce kick at the purple-robed youth’s chest!
"I’ll kill you!"
But just then, the youth in purple suddenly flipped over and threw a punch. The terrifying force was like a mountain crashing down; he had clearly used a Martial Arts Technique!
And indeed, it was a perfect Martial Arts Technique!
"Not good!" The First Prince and the others’ expressions changed.
A cold glint flashed in the green-robed old woman’s eyes. Ling Yunfei’s kick was indeed fierce; if it landed, the purple-robed youth would undoubtedly die. But however fierce, it was just an ordinary kick, possessing only the strength of nine Savage Elephants. The purple-robed youth’s punch, however, amplified by a perfect Martial Arts Technique, carried the force of thirteen Savage Elephants. It was more than enough to severely injure Ling Yunfei, perhaps even cripple his leg! And this strike was so sudden; she didn’t believe Ling Yunfei could dodge it.
However, in the very next moment, her eyes bulged, her aged face filled with disbelief.
Yet, as if Ling Yunfei had anticipated it, his kick suddenly changed direction, evading the punch and striking the youth’s lower abdomen!
"AH..."
With a miserable scream, the youth in purple shot backward like a cannonball, slammed into the city wall, then tumbled to the ground, dead on the spot!
The green-robed old woman leaped down. Seeing the youth in purple was dead, her aged eyes instantly glinted with a cold light.
She whirled around, glaring at Ling Yunfei!
With a wave of her aged hand, a dazzling surge of Battle Intent, filled with overwhelming killing intent, shot towards Ling Yunfei.
But at the same instant, another surge of Battle Intent emerged, sweeping past Ling Yunfei and effortlessly neutralizing the old woman’s attack.
The one who intervened was Jiang Zhengyi!
He smiled faintly. "When your man threw that punch earlier, I didn’t see you call for a stop. Since it’s a matter of individual skill, please refrain from interfering."
The green-robed old woman looked at Jiang Zhengyi and said, enunciating each word, "You won’t regret this!"
"If you dare to attack again and try to kill anyone from my Yan Province, *I* will make you regret it," Jiang Zhengyi replied with a calm smile.
His tone was mild, yet it carried an astonishing killing intent! Calm on the surface, but bone-chillingly murderous!
Such was the presence of Yan Province’s Grand Pavilion Master.
The green-robed old woman stood up, gave Jiang Zhengyi a cold smile, and shouted, "Wang Chuan, come down!"
A youth in black leaped down, his entire being exuding a chilling, deathly aura.
"A one-star Martial Ancestor?" Jiang Zhengyi frowned and said, "Lin Hao, you go!"
"Yes." Lin Hao nodded.
But just as Lin Hao took a step forward, Ling Yunfei said without turning his head, "Young Master Lin, just watch from there. I alone am enough for a minor character like this."
"Hm?" Both Lin Hao and Wang Chuan raised their eyebrows.
Lin Hao stepped back to his original position and sneered, "If you dare embarrass Yan Province, I’ll be the first to deal with you!"
"With him?" Ling Yunfei snorted dismissively.
Where does his confidence come from? Qin Feiyang frowned. Wang Chuan was a one-star Martial Ancestor, his strength far surpassing Ling Yunfei’s, a gap that not even a perfect Martial Arts Technique could bridge.
So that’s how it is. However, upon careful thought, Qin Feiyang had an epiphany. His frown smoothed, and a faint smile touched his lips.
However, the people of Pan County were furious.
A mere Nine-Star martial master, daring to be so arrogant before a Martial Ancestor—he was truly courting death!
"Wang Chuan, kill him quickly!"
"That’s right, don’t hold back! Smash his head in with one punch! Let those Yan Province folks witness our power!"
"Exactly! We must completely disgrace them, make them flee Pan County like dogs with their tails between their legs!"
The surrounding crowd and the people on the city walls all roared in anger, their murderous cries shaking the heavens!
