Fang Yunshi had already reached Chu Feng's position, but he was pinned to the ground beneath Chu Feng's foot.
Not only was he pinned down—Fang Yunshi's face was a battered, swollen mess, and as he wailed with his mouth open, every one of his teeth came tumbling out.
It was a truly miserable sight!!!
Judging by the state of him, this was no simple matter of being knocked to the ground. His face had clearly taken several solid punches.
In the span of a single instant, just what had happened?
Why was the Fourth-grade Supreme Fang Yunshi utterly helpless before Chu Feng?
Hadn't the rumors said that Chu Feng was only a First-grade Supreme?
Boom— Just as everyone was gripped by confusion, a wave of oppressive might erupted outward, blanketing the heavens and earth.
That oppressive force slammed directly into the Southern Sparrow Academy disciple who had been stepping on Song Xi, blasting him away.
The impact was so devastating that he smashed straight into the cliff wall of the mountain and slumped unconscious.
Everyone else broke out in cold sweat, trembling in place.
Because at this moment, the aura Chu Feng was emitting was not that of a First-grade Supreme—it was the aura of a Sixth-grade Supreme.
"A Sixth-grade Supreme—Chu Feng, you…"
Forget about anyone else; even Song Xi stared at the oppressive force radiating from Chu Feng in utter shock.
But Chu Feng paid no attention to Song Xi. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Hei Yao.
"Hei Yao, you're a disciple of the Northern Mysterious Academy, aren't you?"
"Standing by while someone dies wasn't enough—you dared to frame a fellow disciple?"
The moment Chu Feng finished speaking, his oppressive force descended from the sky. With a heavy thud, Hei Yao was driven flat onto the ground.
The blow was no light thing—it crushed Hei Yao so hard that he coughed up great mouthfuls of blood, spraying it out again and again.
"Junior Brother Chu Feng, spare me—please spare me!"
"I had no choice! Behind Fang Yunshi is Senior Brother Xia Ran—we can't possibly beat them! I was only trying to protect myself!"
Hei Yao begged desperately, heedless of the blood spilling from his mouth. Tears even streamed from his eyes.
"Song Xi, how to deal with him—your call."
Chu Feng turned to Song Xi.
"Let him go."
Song Xi glanced at Hei Yao, then said to Chu Feng.
"Fine."
Chu Feng withdrew the oppressive force pinning Hei Yao down.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Chu Feng—thank you, Junior Brother Chu Feng!"
Hei Yao scrambled to his feet and hurriedly thanked Chu Feng.
That was the nature of a lowly wretch. When Chu Feng had shown him respect earlier, he'd found every excuse to make things difficult. Now that Chu Feng had beaten him, he still had the gall to express gratitude.
And yet, that was precisely the kind of person too many arrogant people turned out to be—bullies who cowed before the strong and preyed on the weak, unworthy of any respect.
As for Chu Feng, he had encountered far too many of Hei Yao's type to even bother with him.
So he ignored Hei Yao entirely and turned his cold gaze to the Southern Sparrow Academy disciples.
"Just now—any one of you—did you lay a hand on anyone from my Northern Mysterious Academy?"
Chu Feng's eyes were frigid as he spoke in a piercing tone.
"No, no—we didn't touch anyone!"
The Southern Sparrow Academy disciples shook their heads frantically. Many of their voices trembled as they spoke.
"I, Chu Feng, settle debts and return kindness in full. Since none of you struck anyone, I won't make things difficult for you."
"But mark my words—not just Song Xi. From now on, every single person in the Northern Mysterious Academy is someone none of you can bully."
"If any of you ever dare lay a finger on my Northern Mysterious Academy people again, you'd best hope I, Chu Feng, never find out. If I do…"
At this point, Chu Feng suddenly raised his foot and stomped down hard on Fang Yunshi beneath him.
He stomped twice. Each time his foot came down, in addition to Fang Yunshi's heart-rending scream, there was a sickening crunch.
One of Fang Yunshi's arms and one of his legs were snapped clean through by Chu Feng's stomp.
"Him—this is what awaits you."
Chu Fang pointed down at the wailing Fang Yunshi beneath his foot.
"We wouldn't dare—we wouldn't dare!"
