"Brother, I was wrong. I was blind — I failed to recognize your greatness. A great man like you shouldn't hold a grudge against a nobody like me. Can you let this toad go, please?"
When the man looked at the cold glare in Chu Feng's eyes, all his previous arrogance was gone, replaced by trembling fear.
"I don't care who you are."
"But if you dare disrespect my woman—"
"You will pay the price."
After Chu Feng finished speaking, he lifted his leg and stomped down. When his foot landed, the fan-wielding man let out a blood-curdling scream.
Because with that single stomp, his manhood had been crushed under Chu Feng's foot.
This didn't just destroy his body — it destroyed his soul.
Even the most powerful Spirit World Master would be unable to repair it. For the rest of his life, he would be nothing but a eunuch.
But after that stomp, Chu Feng had no intention of stopping. His cold gaze swept across the other disciples.
"Young master, I know I was wrong. Please spare me."
"It was Senior Brother Zhao who forced me to talk to that girl. It wasn't my own intention. Young master, please let me go."
The woman who had first approached Zi Ling was truly terrified. Not only were tears streaming down her face, but the hem of her skirt below her waist had been soaked from sheer fright.
"Young master, spare our lives! This has nothing to do with us."
As for the others, they were no better off than this woman.
One timid woman had already fainted from fright, while the others cried like wrecked souls.
Besides the fear of death, clear remorse could be written across their faces.
How could they not regret it?
This was no toad — this was a god of slaughter.
Had they known this beforehand, even if given the courage, they would never have dared act this way.
But even though the others had been reduced to this state, Chu Feng's gaze remained cold, without a trace of mercy.
He had no intention of letting them off so easily.
"Brother Chu Feng, let it go."
At that moment, Zi Ling spoke up.
Not only did she try to persuade him, she walked up to Chu Feng and took hold of his arm.
Normally, at this point, the best course of action would be to silence them all to eliminate future trouble.
After all, none of these people were good. Killing them wouldn't be a sin — it would be ridding the world of a menace.
But the problem was that people from other powers were also present.
These people had nothing to do with this matter, yet they had witnessed everything.
But he couldn't very well kill them all just because he didn't want word to get out, could he?
So this matter would inevitably spread.
He had already taught them their lesson. If he spared their lives, and if their masters were reasonable people, there might still be room for negotiation.
"Remember — there is always a sky beyond the sky, and a person beyond the person."
"Don't think that just because you have some ability, you can bully others."
"Today, I'll spare your lives. But you'd best never appear before me again. Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead."
After Chu Feng finished speaking, he led Zi Ling away and stepped through the barrier gate.
Passing through the gate, they returned to the forest.
But the scenery behind them was completely different from the path they had come by.
Fortunately, the way upward was very clear.
So Chu Feng and Zi Ling continued forward.
"Mm—"
After walking only a short distance, Zi Ling's expression changed drastically. Not only did her face contort with pain, but she lost the strength to even keep walking.
In an instant, she doubled over and collapsed to the ground.
