"You dare say we're not qualified?"
"Can't you see whose name is written on the Snow Domain Divine Palace?"
"This Snow Domain Divine Palace belongs to Lord Dugu Lingtian, and Lord Dugu Lingtian belongs to our South Sparrow Academy."
Xia Ran pointed at the plaque on the Snow Domain Divine Palace and said to Chu Feng.
"I can see it, but unfortunately, you're the ones who don't have the right to enter. However… we do."
Chu Feng said.
"Huh?"
As soon as these words left Chu Feng's mouth, not only were Xia Ran and the others baffled, but even Song Xi and her group were equally confused.
"Senior Sister Song, you go in."
Chu Feng said to Song Zhiliao beside him.
"Me? I'm supposed to go in?"
Song Zhiliao was also at a loss.
"Senior Sister Song, you'll definitely be able to get in."
Chu Feng said.
"Alright, then… I'll give it a try."
Song Zhiliao was half-doubtful, but she still walked toward the Snow Domain Divine Palace.
"Stop! You're not qualified to enter."
But before Song Zhiliao could even get close, Xia Ran blocked the way in front of the Snow Domain Divine Palace's barrier gate.
With Xia Ran blocking the path, Song Zhiliao was put in a difficult position.
In truth, her strength was far beyond what Xia Ran could handle — he couldn't stop her at all.
But Xia Yan was standing behind him, backing him up. Song Zhiliao wasn't afraid of Xia Ran, but she didn't dare to offend Xia Yan.
For a moment, they were at a stalemate.
Whoosh— But right at that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly streaked over.
It was Chu Feng. Chu Feng appeared beside Xia Ran and, without a single word, threw a punch straight into Xia Ran's abdomen.
Chu Feng had raised his cultivation at this moment. With the divine-grade lightning runes surging on his forehead, his cultivation had reached the seventh rank of Supreme.
The punch landed squarely on Xia Ran's stomach, and he simply couldn't withstand it.
With a splurt!!
Xia Ran collapsed to his knees in agony, blood, saliva, and vomit all spewing from his mouth at once.
"Chu Feng, you — what are you doing?!"
Seeing that Chu Feng had struck Xia Ran outright, everyone was startled.
Bi Jingjing angrily shouted at Chu Feng.
Earlier, when Chu Feng and Xia Ran had sparred, Xia Ran had indeed lost to Chu Feng.
But that had been because Xia Ran started it first. When he was being aggressive, Chu Feng had fought back — that was understandable.
This time, however, Chu Feng had attacked unprovoked, and the force behind that punch was no small matter.
"Senior Sister Bi, I already told you."
"Just now, I let him off entirely for your sake. But if he doesn't know when to stop, I absolutely will not hold back."
"That punch was already going easy on him."
After saying this, Chu Feng grabbed a fistful of Xia Ran's hair and yanked him to his feet by force.
Compared to gripping him by the throat, grabbing him by the hair was far more humiliating.
"Xia Ran, remember this. If you dare provoke me again, it won't be as simple as one punch."
Having said that, Chu Feng swung hard and slammed Xia Ran violently into the wall of the Snow Domain Divine Palace.
The impact was tremendous. Xia Ran's head spun, and the contents of his stomach came pouring out even more abundantly.
Seeing Xia Ran injured, a large number of South Sparrow Academy disciples rushed forward.
They supported Xia Ran with concern, Bi Jingjing among them.
And Fang Yunshi pointed viciously at Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, you're dead! You dare lay hands on Senior Brother Xia? The Wulong Martial Sect won't tolerate you anymore!"
"Won't tolerate me?"
Chu Feng let out a cold laugh. Then, in a flash, he appeared right in front of Fang Yunshi.
"Y-you… what are you going to do?"
Seeing Chu Feng materialize before him, Fang Yunshi's face twisted in terror.
"What did you just say?"
"Did you say the Wulong Martial Sect won't tolerate me?"
Chu Feng didn't strike Fang Yunshi directly. Instead, he stared him down at close range with those icy, piercing eyes.
"I… I…"
Fang Yunshi couldn't even look Chu Feng in the eye. He suddenly regretted it.
He regretted saying those words — the ones he'd used to curry favor with Xia Ran and threaten Chu Feng.
He felt killing intent. Killing intent so cold it pierced through his body, pierced through his very soul.
He didn't dare say another word. He felt that if he said even one more thing wrong, Chu Feng might actually kill him.
And what would happen then?
In the grand scheme of the Wulong Martial Sect, he was nothing but a minor character.
Chu Feng had dared to strike Xia Ran — killing him would be nothing at all.
"I… I…"
Fang Yunshi was truly terrified. His voice trembled as he spoke.
He had crumbled. He wanted to apologize, but for the sake of his pride, he was caught in an agonizing struggle.
"KNEEL DOWN!!!"
But suddenly, Chu Feng bellowed.
That furious shout rang like a clap of thunder, detonating inside Fang Yunshi's body.
Fang Yunshi's entire frame shuddered, his legs went weak, and then with a thud, he truly knelt before Chu Feng.
Not only did he kneel — tears streamed uncontrollably down his twisted face.
The sight left everyone dumbstruck.
Chu Feng being angry and making Fang Yunshi kneel — people could understand that.
But that Fang Yunshi actually went through with it — that was something people couldn't quite comprehend.
Was Chu Feng really that terrifying?
But in truth, he was exactly that terrifying.
Only right now, Fang Yunshi was the only one who truly felt it.
