Chapter 236: Chapter 235: Talent of the Wolf
’Looks like this is a trap set for me. This Ao Shen must be one of Ao Kun’s men, and Li Zhuang was probably just dragged into this because of me!’
Watching Ao Shen’s cold and smug expression, Qin Feng’s gaze flickered, a trace of killing intent dancing in his eyes.
"Isn’t this Elder Qin Feng? What a rare sight!"
Just then, a sinister-looking, handsome young man in a Profound Robe walked over from the side.
A group of fierce Martial Artists in Black Robes followed, and the crowd automatically parted to make way for them.
From the hushed discussions in the crowd, Qin Feng learned the young man’s identity. His name was Zhao Xuanmeng, and he was a formidable War General of the Five Elements Team.
Zhao Xuanmeng approached slowly. He had a cold gaze, with green eyes and white brows. Behind him followed a group of tall young men, their eyes cold and filled with a cruel, murderous aura. These young Martial Artists had chilling gazes brimming with killing intent; the weakest among them was in the Condensing Vein Realm.
The aura of Zhao Xuanmeng, who led the group, surpassed everyone else’s. The pressure he exuded was exceptionally suffocating to Qin Feng.
A powerful aura pressed down on him, and Qin Feng sensed a terrible danger!
’This man is terrifying!’
Qin Feng felt that if he were to face this person head-on, there was an eighty percent chance he would be killed.
’A ten percent chance of escape, and a ten percent chance of killing him, but only after being severely injured myself.’
Qin Feng stared at him coldly. "Zhao Xuanmeng. One of Ao Kun’s men?"
Zhao Xuanmeng was polite and graceful. "Indeed. Brother Ao Kun is my sworn brother!"
Zhao Xuanmeng sized Qin Feng up, his sinister gaze landing on him. Qin Feng felt as if he were being watched by a venomous snake. Zhao Xuanmeng cupped his hands and spoke earnestly, "I have heard much about you, Your Excellency Qin Feng. I heard that you relied on your own strength to bully Young Master Ao Fang!"
"Although Young Master Ao Fang and Brother Ao don’t always see eye to eye, he is still Brother Ao’s brother. For you to show Brother Ao such disrespect... Brother Ao is magnanimous and doesn’t want to bicker with you, but as his brother, I truly cannot stand by and watch!"
"I heard this Li Zhuang has a close relationship with you, Young Master Qin Feng. I was originally planning to cut off this man’s head and present it to you as a gift. But since you’ve already come to the Martial God Arena, you might as well sign for this grand gift in person!"
Zhao Xuanmeng spoke in a slow, deliberate manner, his tone unhurried.
However, the meaning behind his words was utterly vicious and cruel.
Li Zhuang was one of Qin Feng’s few friends, yet Zhao Xuanmeng dared to target him!
Everyone has a line that cannot be crossed!
An irrepressible killing intent flashed across Qin Feng’s face.
Many students from the All Stars Academy looked at the man in terror and backed away as if from a flood or a ferocious beast.
"This Zhao Xuanmeng is so vicious and terrifying. With a temperament like that, he’s no different from a jackal or an evil ghost!" On a high platform in the Martial God Arena, a stunningly beautiful woman in white remarked, a hint of displeasure in her shifting gaze.
This woman in white was none other than the Ice Glacier Celestial Maiden, Lu Qingxue.
Several experts from Heaven’s Edge Sea Pavilion stood beside Lu Qingxue. Hearing her words, a pretty young woman in a goose-yellow palace dress spoke in a soft voice.
"Junior Sister Lu, this Zhao Xuanmeng is no simple character. He is an illustrious War General in the Five Elements Team. His strength is formidable, his temperament is vicious, and he is utterly unscrupulous. Combined with his cruel methods, he earned the title of ’Wolf King’!"
"Although his cultivation is only at the Second Secret Realm of Meridian Condensation, many experts at the Third and even Fourth Secret Realm have suffered at his hands. If you ever run into him, Junior Sister Lu, you must be careful!"
A trace of wariness flickered in Lu Qingxue’s eyes.
’A man with such a temperament is truly terrifying.’
Zhao Xuanmeng saw the killing intent on Qin Feng’s face and chuckled. "Brother Qin seems eager to kill me. I’d advise you to give up on that idea. You’re no match for me. Though you are the new Elder of Cyan Dragon Academy and have a great reputation, to experts like us who have experienced true slaughter, you newcomers are far too green. You’re like lambs. If we were in the jungle, killing you would be effortless!"
There wasn’t the slightest hint of contempt on Zhao Xuanmeng’s face; he spoke as if stating a universal truth.
Qin Feng muttered to himself. ’An arrogant psycho. He thinks that just because he’s killed a few experts and mastered some techniques, his ego can inflate to the heavens. People like you call themselves experts, but in reality, you just *think* you’re an expert. You’ve let power cloud your mind and allowed greed and slaughter to control your will. Your Heart Demon has already seeped into your very organs. You will never be able to break through to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm in this lifetime!’
Qin Feng didn’t get angry. He had met many psychos with inflated egos like this before.
Admittedly, such paranoid maniacs were indeed powerful. Their obsession often allowed them to achieve things in a specific domain that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
"Qin Feng, your efforts are futile. Do you think you can shake my will with just that? That I would spare Li Zhuang’s life? You’re too naive. No matter what, Li Zhuang will not escape death today!"
Zhao Xuanmeng narrowed his eyes and glanced at Qin Feng. His demeanor remained nonchalant, but his gaze grew colder, like a starving wolf in the mountains revealing its killing intent.
Several youths from the Tutu Institute turned pale. Terrified of Zhao Xuanmeng’s power, they didn’t dare to speak up.
"That’s not necessarily true!"
A cold smile touched his eyes. Qin Feng turned and fixed his gaze on the Martial God Arena.
At this moment, the battle between Li Zhuang and Ao Shen in the Martial God Arena had reached a white-hot stage.
Li Zhuang’s weapon was a long saber. He swung it desperately, defending with all his might, using a High Tier Human Martial Level Saber Technique, the Gentle Wind Slash.
Li Zhuang was now at a complete disadvantage. He was only at the Martial Arts Fifth Layer Heaven Realm.
Ao Shen was a Martial Artist at the Peak of Martial Arts Sixth Realm and held an overwhelming advantage.
Moreover, Ao Shen had also mastered a number of his family’s Secret Techniques.
In the arena, Li Zhuang was already severely injured. His blood-soaked clothes covered mangled flesh, and he had coughed up blood several times. He fought like a man possessed, mechanically executing the Gentle Wind Slash. For the moment, Ao Shen couldn’t get close to him.
But all the experts present knew that as soon as he finished this Saber Technique and his momentum faltered, he would become fish on Ao Shen’s chopping block.
Ao Shen’s expression was unhurried. His body moved like a swimming dragon, weaving through Li Zhuang’s saber strikes. He was like a seasoned hunter toying with his prey, even having enough spare attention to watch the situation with Zhao Xuanmeng.
His gaze occasionally fell upon Qin Feng, filled with a trace of cruelty and mockery.
He was extremely pleased with himself!
Watching this scene, Zhao Xuanmeng nodded slightly, his probing gaze landing on Qin Feng.
"Well, Your Excellency Qin Feng? Are you satisfied with this little welcome gift of mine?"
"You’re celebrating too early. So what if he’s at the Peak of Martial Arts Sixth Realm? Although Li Zhuang is at a disadvantage, it’s not like he has no chance of winning!" Qin Feng shook his head.
"Believe it or not, he can kill Ao Shen with a single slash!"
A faint smile played on Zhao Xuanmeng’s lips. "You’re dreaming!"
In the arena, Ao Shen heard Qin Feng’s words. He glanced at the black-robed youth with a sneer, his heart filled with disdain. ’What Elder? He’s just full of hot air. This Li Zhuang punk? I could let him use one hand and he still wouldn’t be able to touch a hair on my head. This so-called Elder is nothing special. His reputation is completely undeserved!’
