"Chu Feng, you..."
Gongsun Elder was stunned by Chu Feng's words. He had never expected that at the brink of life and death, Chu Feng would not cower behind him but instead step forward with such courage. This kind of character truly caught him off guard.
"Elder Gongsun, this matter has nothing to do with any of you. Since I was the one who caused this trouble, I should be the one to bear it. But please, trouble yourself to look after this friend of mine — he has nothing to do with any of this."
Chu Feng handed Li Lei, who was still slung over his shoulder, to Elder Gongsun. Then, regardless of Elder Gongsun's reaction, he walked around to stand in front of him and smiled calmly at Han Qingyu.
"The people of your Han Family — I killed them. If you've got any tricks, bring them all at me alone."
"You've got some nerve, kid. But the way I see it, you probably know that the Sect Master has proclaimed you to be the hope of our Qingmu South Forest. You're counting on the fact that I wouldn't dare lay a finger on you, and that's why you're acting so brave?"
Han Qingyu sized Chu Feng up as he spoke, the killing intent in his eyes growing clearer by the second. Suddenly, he let out an angry roar and thundered:
"I'm telling you, if that's what you think, you're dead wrong. Today, no one can save you. Even if the Sect Master wants you, as long as you dare touch anyone from my Han Family, I'll kill you without hesitation."
"Heh, think what you want." Chu Feng smiled again, not a trace of fear on his face. He was skilled at reading people, and he had already figured out that although Han Qingyu was domineering, judging from his very first reaction upon seeing Chu Feng, there was still a deep-seated fear of the Sect Master lurking within him.
It was true that Han Qingyu had used absolute force to defeat Elder Gongsun and the others — fellow family elders — and it certainly looked like he intended to kill Chu Feng.
But in reality, he was merely making an example. The whole display was meant to preserve his Han Family's dignity. If he actually caught Chu Feng, he probably wouldn't dare kill him. At most, he would torture and terrify him.
In Chu Feng's view, then, if he kept letting Elder Gongsun and the others protect him, they would only continue to be humiliated. As family elders, being beaten in front of countless disciples would severely damage their prestige and reputation.
It would be better to step out early. Even if it meant suffering a bit of torture and humiliation himself, at least he wouldn't drag Elder Gongsun and the others down with him.
After all, Chu Feng had grown up surrounded by mockery and all manner of bullying. He wasn't afraid of any of it — as long as he could stay alive, sooner or later he would grind those who had tormented him into the dirt and pay them back a hundredfold for every humiliation they had dealt him.
"Chu Feng, today is the day you die!" Han Qingyu bellowed in a frigid voice. As he spoke, he released the full pressure of his ninth-level Martial King cultivation, causing the very void around them to shudder and quake.
But despite the trembling of space, Chu Feng stood rock-steady. He didn't even bother to answer Han Qingyu's declaration, merely maintaining a faint smile at the corner of his lips.
"Damn you, you still dare to smile? Kneel and admit your wrongs!" Chu Feng's attitude clearly enraged Han Qingyu. With a sweep of his massive sleeve, the invisible pressure sealing the heavens and earth condensed into a razor-sharp blade that slashed toward Chu Feng's legs.
Ssss.
Two sprays of blood erupted from Chu Feng's legs as the blade cut through them, exposing the white bone beneath.
Thud. Thud.
Even so, Chu Feng only swayed slightly. He did not kneel. Instead, he remained standing firmly in place, and there was not a hint of pain on his face — as though he could not feel the agony in his legs at all.
But what truly shocked everyone was that Chu Feng, having endured Han Qingyu's attack, simply smiled again and looked at Han Qingyu.
"You want me to kneel? You don't have the right."
"Oh, you little brat from the Southern Sea — I don't have the right? Today I'll make you kneel before me whether you want to or not!"
