Boom boom boom boom boom—
Right now, outside Chu Feng's residence, thunderous booms rang out ceaselessly as ripples of energy ravaged heaven and earth.
Those were naturally caused by the battle between Wang Qiang and Kong Ruozeng.
Fighting rarely broke out within the Kong Heavenly Clan. Even when the younger generation sparred, they had special arenas for that purpose.
This was the guests' living quarters. On ordinary days, there would virtually never be any fighting. Now that such a battle had erupted here, it naturally drew crowds of onlookers.
At this moment, outside the residence, not only had many members of the Kong Heavenly Clan gathered, but quite a few guests who had come seeking the spectacle had arrived as well.
Perhaps it was also because the Divine Thunder had struck twice in succession without causing any real destruction, so people were no longer as worried about it. As a result, they actually found this spectacle rather entertaining.
"As expected of a heaven-blessed genius. This Wang Qiang — he must be the prodigy who obtained Master Kaihong's inheritance alongside Chu Feng?"
"Incredible. Judging by his age, this Wang Qiang should be far younger than the Kong Heavenly Clan's young fighter, yet his cultivation is vastly superior. If not for the Kong Heavenly Clan's young fighter having a Heaven-grade bloodline to prop him up, he wouldn't stand a chance against Wang Qiang."
"Amazing, truly amazing. Truly worthy of being hailed as a genius who can rival Young Master Li Ming."
The onlookers watched Wang Qiang and Kong Ruozeng clash, heaping praise without end.
However, the majority favored Wang Qiang, and the compliments directed at him were practically unending.
"You bastard — you were hiding your cultivation!" Kong Ruozeng had already unleashed the Thunder Wings and Thunder Armor, the signature techniques of the Heaven-grade bloodline.
At this point, his cultivation had risen from the ninth rank of Half Martial Ancestor all the way to the second rank of Martial Ancestor.
Combined with his ability to fight three ranks above his level, he was currently quite formidable.
However, he still could not defeat Wang Qiang.
Because right now, Wang Qiang's cultivation was no longer at the first rank of Martial Ancestor, but at the second rank.
And Wang Qiang likewise possessed the ability to fight three ranks above his level.
"Hiding my cultivation?"
"Hmph, your grandpa here has never stooped to such tricks. Your grandpa just… just made a breakthrough in seclusion, that's all." Wang Qiang said with a grin.
What Wang Qiang said was true — he had indeed broken through during seclusion. After all, he had that spittoon containing the Martial Dao. All he had to do was gain a bit of comprehension from it, and he could successfully break through. This second rank of Martial Ancestor was the benefit he had reaped from that Martial Dao spittoon.
However, Kong Ruozeng did not believe a word of it and said with cold mockery, "A breakthrough in seclusion? How long were you even in seclusion to go from the first rank of Martial Ancestor to the second?"
"Heh heh… just… just a waste like you could never understand the loneliness of a genius like your grandpa!" Wang Qiang retorted with his own mockery, mentally tormenting Kong Ruozeng nonstop while his attacks never slowed.
At this moment, both of them wielded half-finished Ancestral Weapons. Their cultivation was equal, their combat power was equal, and their battle raged fiercely with neither able to gain the upper hand.
"Kong Ruozeng — stop this at once!!!"
Just then, a furious shout rang out — it was Kong Shunlian.
The moment Kong Shunlian appeared, all the members of the Kong Heavenly Clan immediately straightened up with deference.
They had all heard about how Kong Ruozeng had provoked Chu Feng before and suffered the punishment of the Medicinal Torture.
So they all knew that Kong Shunlian was fiercely protective of Chu Feng. With him here now, Kong Ruozeng was probably going to be in trouble.
"Brother Shunlian, it's merely a spar between the younger generation. Why must you fly into such a rage?" However, at that moment, Kong Moyu arrived right behind Kong Shunlian, stepping in to block him.
Kong Moyu now shared Kong Yuehua's suspicion that Chu Feng was the intruder. And since Kong Yuehua had set this trap, he naturally would not allow Kong Shunlian to interfere.
"Heh heh, elder, it's… it's fine. We're just sparring." Wang Qiang said cheerfully to Kong Shunlian.
"See? Even this young friend has no objections. Why must you interfere? A spar between juniors is hardly a big deal," Kong Moyu said to Kong Shunlian.
However, when Wang Qiang delivered his next line, the look on Kong Moyu's face was not quite so pleasant.
"Don't worry — I won't kill him. At most, I'll beat him until he's incontinent and unable to take care of himself." Wang Qiang said with a smug expression.
He didn't treat this place as the Kong Heavenly Clan at all, nor did he have any regard for the members of the Kong Heavenly Clan. He said whatever he pleased — and that was simply Wang Qiang.
