Venerable Martial Emperor

The cultivator cursed. Even now, he still had an arrogant look on his face. He still didn't think that Xu Feng was powerful.    

However, the faces of the few people behind him darkened. They said coldly, "I advise you to let him go. You can leave now. From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other."    

Xu Feng sneered. The corner of his mouth curled up and he said, "What if I don't let him go?"    

These people were clearly the ones who came to find trouble first, but now they wanted them to leave. It was really funny. If it was in the past, it would have been fine. But now, Xu Feng was in a bad mood, so he couldn't be blamed.    

"If you don't let them go, you're courting death!"    

One! A middle-aged man stood out. His face was filled with anger as he spoke coldly. They weren't people who should be provoked. It was rare that he didn't want to cause trouble, but Xu Feng didn't want to let him go. This really pissed him off.    

"Alright, I'll show you my death today!"    

Xu Feng roared furiously. The strength in his hand suddenly increased. It broke the bones of the cultivator's hand and sent him flying with a kick. The Qi on his body was like a surging ocean. His big robe fluttered even though there was no wind, making him look extremely mighty.    

"Argh!"    

Miserable screams came from the cultivator who had broken the arm bone. He spat out a mouthful of blood and endured the pain. He said with great resentment, "Help me kill him, help me kill him!"    

These cultivators were all Half-step Essence Returning Stage warriors. Naturally, they wouldn't be afraid of a Small Perfection of Spirit Essence Stage like Xu Feng. All of a sudden, they surrounded Xu Feng and stared at him coldly.    

"You really are courting death..."    

Zhao Loong shook his head slightly and said in his heart.    

Back when he was at the Late Period of Spirit Essence Stage, Xu Feng had used all of his strength to fight a Half-step Essence Returning Stage warrior. His strength could be said to be heaven defying. Now that he had broken through to the Small Perfection of Spirit Essence Stage, he was afraid that no one within the Spirit Essence Stage would be a match for him.    

However, those few men didn't have any premonition about the danger that was about to arrive. Instead, they stared at Xu Feng with a cruel expression. Their eyes were filled with arrogance, as if Xu Feng was a piece of meat on their chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered by them.    

"Attack!"    

The middle-aged cultivator seemed to be the leader of these people. After he shouted angrily, all the cultivators started to move. In an instant, Yuan energy surged above the desert, stirring up waves of sand and wind.    

"Water Drop Palm!"    

"Ghost Fist!"    

...    

All kinds of attacks swept across Xu Feng. Such an attack was akin to killing Xu Feng with a single strike. It was truly deadly.    

However, Zhao Loong and the others didn't make any moves because they knew that Xu Feng would be able to handle these attacks.    

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"    

Countless attacks landed on Xu Feng's body, producing violent explosions. Yuan energy rolled and space distorted, as if it was the end of the world, terrifying to the extreme.    

The explosions lasted for about fifteen minutes before the Half-step Essence Returning Stage finally stopped attacking. One of them sneered and said, "You overestimate yourself. I'm afraid that you have already been blasted into pieces!"    

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, revealing Xu Feng's figure. His shirt was torn, revealing his solid chest. The blood red and golden skin seemed incomparably overbearing, and his face was expressionless. It was as if he did not feel anything at all.    

"How is this possible?"    

The cultivators who had initially revealed joyful expressions were instantly dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief. They had never seen a Small Perfection of Spirit Essence Stage being attacked by so many experts. It was truly shocking that he could still stand in front of them as if nothing had happened.    

"Is that all you have?"    

Xu Feng looked at the few people in front of him with disdain. He made fun of them in a low voice. He didn't even try to hide the mocking look in his eyes.    

"Don't be too arrogant!"    

One! A cultivator was the first to regain his senses. He clenched his fist tightly and threw a punch. It brought up gusts of strong wind that were extremely overbearing. At the same time, he did not stop. His figure flew out in a flash. On his fist... It was as if there was a great path lingering around him. It was incomparably fierce, and it swept towards Xu Feng.    

If this cultivator was in the Central State, he would certainly be an expert that dominated a region. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the sect master of a big sect. However, in the Southern Ridge, he could only be an errand boy.    

Although his cultivation base had advanced, his strength was obviously inferior to Gu Xinann. After all, Gu Xinann was the head of the family and had countless cultivation resources. Even if they were at the same realm, they could still be considered as the strongest amongst the strongest.    

Since Gu Xinann had died in Xu Feng's hands, this cultivator in front of him naturally wouldn't pose any problem to Xu Feng.    

His eyes were fixed on Xu Feng rushing towards him. Suddenly, Xu Feng's figure disappeared. After breaking through to the Small Perfection of Spirit Essence Stage and using the Ghost Shadow Step, his speed had reached the maximum!    

"Little Luo, behind you!"    

Someone was shouting from the other side, but it was already too late!    

Xu Feng suddenly appeared behind the cultivator. He swept his body and broke the bones in the cultivator's legs. With a miserable shriek, the cultivator fell from the sky and started screaming again and again.    

"Trash!"    

He pointed his middle finger at those men, and the hot-blooded factor in Xu Feng's body was fully activated. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to fight and release the unhappiness in his body. That middle finger wanted their attacks to be fiercer.    

"Brothers, kill him!"    

Although they didn't know why Xu Feng was so strong, they weren't good men and women to begin with. Now that they were provoked by Xu Feng, the fury in their bodies surged out. As soon as the middle-aged man's voice faded, the remaining four to five cultivators rushed out.    

Perhaps it was because his companion was injured by Xu Feng, or perhaps it was because Xu Feng was too arrogant. This attack was obviously fiercer than the first. There was even a lot of killing intent condensed within.    

However, none of this was of any use to Xu Feng. He twisted the Ghost Shadow Step and shuttled back and forth between the few of them at an extreme speed. As for those few people, they were in a state of chaos, totally at Xu Feng's speed.    

"Argh!"    

One of them let out a miserable shriek. In the next moment, both of his hands drooped down. However, Xu Feng had already appeared in another direction, looking at them with a smile on his face.    

"Who the hell are you?"    

The middle-aged man's face was gloomy. A Small Perfection of Spirit Essence Stage had easily crippled three Half-step Essence Returning Stage warriors. He even suspected that Xu Feng had hidden his true strength.    

As for the other cultivators, they looked at Xu Feng with fear. They didn't dare to step forward without permission. After all, the strength that Xu Feng had displayed was just too powerful.    

Initially, they didn't want to tell them his name, but Xu Feng thought about it. He had forced the Demon Sect's Sect Master to leave his hometown and come to Southern Ridge. The hatred he had for him was definitely not low. Since there was no way to find him now, he might as well take this opportunity. If he spread the news that he had come to Southern Ridge, perhaps he would take the initiative to find him!    

In an instant, Xu Feng thought of many things, so he said in a deep voice, "Xu Feng of Central State, if you have any ability, just use it!"    

"Xu Feng of Central State?"    

The middle-aged man looked at the young man in front of him with a gloomy face. He promised. He had never heard of this name before, but a young man as powerful as him... He should have some reputation in Southern Ridge, but why was he so unknown?!    

"That's right. Remember this name. Remember how I defeated you today!"    

After saying that, Xu Feng moved once again. He had a plan in his mind. He didn't plan to hide his true strength. He gathered his strength on his fist and waved it wildly. The sound of the Prison Suppressing Fist exploded in the sky.    

Bang! Bang! Bang!    

The sound became more and more urgent. When the eight explosions were finished, the few cultivators around screamed in pain and spat out a mouthful of hot blood. They directly fell out and fell into the desert, twitching continuously. Obviously, they were badly injured.    

"What!?"    

If Xu Feng's strength was beyond his expectation, then this time, he already felt that Xu Feng was an Early Period of Essence Returning Stage warrior!    

A set of martial arts, one punch each. Such strength, only an Early Period of Essence Returning Stage warrior could do it.    

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"    

Xu Feng looked at the middle-aged man with a smile that was not a smile and said softly.    

He didn't kill the other cultivators. After all, he still needed the help of the few people in front of him to spread his name. Furthermore, Xu Feng didn't have a life-and-death grudge with them, so there was no need to kill them.    

The middle-aged man didn't say anything. He looked at Xu Feng with a gloomy expression, but he was thinking about whether he should attack or not.    

If he attacked, he might end up in the same situation as the few people in front of him. If he didn't attack, he would just watch his brothers get beaten up and ignore them. He wouldn't be able to continue living in the future.    

"Afraid of you? Why would I, Hongliang, be afraid of you?"    

After making up his mind, the middle-aged man took a big step forward and arrived in front of Xu Feng. The two of them faced each other from afar, and a battle was about to break out.    

As the saying goes, once an expert attacked, one would know if he was there or not. The speed that Hongliang displayed just now wasn't slow. Xu Feng knew that this man was definitely a powerful cultivator, and was completely different from those ordinary people lying on the ground.    

"Hong Kou's men?"    

When Zhao Loong heard this name, he couldn't help but mutter.    

Hong Kou was another major power in Southern Ridge. Apart from the four major families, there were also countless smaller powers in Southern Ridge. The leaders of these people were all powerful people. If they didn't want to live under someone else's roof, they would establish their own sect.    

The leader of Hong Kou was said to be a genius of second-rate family. Later on, for some unknown reason, he had a falling out with his family. He immediately turned against his family and founded Hong Kou.    

"Kid, at least you know what's good for you. I advise your friend to let today's matter go just like that. We will have nothing to do with each other in the future. What do you think?"    

Hongliang thought that Zhao Loong knew how powerful Hong Kou was and wanted to find a way out. He hastily said - he really didn't want to fight Xu Feng!    

"This... My friend's temper is quite stubborn. You should prepare to fight him properly!"    

Zhao Loong helplessly waved his hand and looked at Hongliang with a helpless expression, indicating that he couldn't help him.    

Although he did not know what Xu Feng was thinking at the moment, he knew what Xu Feng was doing. As a brother, he had ten thousand supporters. Let alone Hong Kou, he wouldn't hesitate to beat up all the bandits. After all, it was the Zhao family. They were filthy rich in the Southern Ridge!
