Chapter 148:
"Feng Yue! The madman Feng Yue!"
"It is said that he is extremely ruthless and once roasted an enemy alive over a fire for three days and nights before letting them die!"
"This man is extremely narrow-minded and vindictive. We better leave quickly and not provoke him!"
The two martial artists who were about to get angry heard the name Feng Yue and felt the terrifying power of Feng Yue's Fourth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm. Their faces changed, and they left one after another.
The requirements of the Void Spirit Hall were for cultivators below the Saint realm, and there were many martial artists who came to explore. After all, while the Void Map was precious, it circulated not only in the Tianxuan Empire but also in other empires, and the total number was not small. Some families with enough spiritual stones could even purchase it through various channels. The Void Map itself was not an extraordinary treasure; it was only considered a treasure in the Nine Lakes County.
However, the Fourth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, especially someone like Feng Yue, who had a fearsome reputation in the Nine Lakes County and even had the Sole Sword Sect and other major forces giving him face, was undoubtedly a powerful individual among the many martial artists exploring the Void Spirit Hall.
That was why Feng Yue dared to act so arrogantly.
Of course, before landing, he roughly sensed the cultivation of Su Zhan and the others below, and then said without any scruples, ordering the others to leave.
Indeed, his intimidation was quite effective. Of the three people on the small island, two had already fled.
Chu Xuanyi hesitated for a moment and said to Su Zhan, who hadn't moved, "Fellow Daoist Su, this man's terrifying reputation has spread throughout the Nine Lakes County. He is powerful among the Fourth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm. Let's go; it's just a place to rest and nothing more."
Su Zhan glanced at Chu Xuanyi with some surprise. He hadn't expected this person to actually remind him to leave, which was rather unexpected. With a slight smile, Su Zhan replied, "If Fellow Daoist Chu wants to leave, then go ahead. This is just a place to rest; it's not Feng Yue's territory. They have no right to make me leave."
Chu Xuanyi sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Fellow Daoist Su, I'm afraid you are inexperienced in the world. In this world, who cares about reasons? I see that you are so young; it would be a pity if you die. Don't you know that only the living have the qualification to talk about reasons?"
"Let me advise you; a moment of losing face is nothing. We martial artists are much younger than Feng Yue. Revenge can be taken after ten years!"
"Why are you two still chattering? Aren't you leaving?"
Feng Yue, seeing that Su Zhan and Chu Xuanyi were still not leaving but instead chatting, as if they were treating him as air, immediately became angry.
"Fellow Daoist Su, I've said enough. I am only a mere Third Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm. Although I have some methods, I only want to display my abilities in the Void Spirit Hall. For now, please take care, Fellow Daoist Su!" Chu Xuanyi hesitated for a moment but still chose to leave. He and Su Zhan were just strangers, although they felt a bit of affinity, so they exchanged a few more words. However, it was impossible for him to risk his life and step forward to help a stranger.
"Take care, Fellow Daoist Chu," Su Zhan said, not surprised by Chu Xuanyi's decision.
If Chu Xuanyi had chosen to stay and confront Feng Yue with him, a stranger whose strength and background he didn't know, Su Zhan would have found it odd. It would have seemed like Chu Xuanyi either had a death wish or had some ulterior motive.
"When you were cultivating earlier, I clearly sensed that you were only at the Second Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm. If you still don't leave, do you find life too long?" Feng Yue looked somewhat surprised at Su Zhan.
"You can stay here if you want, but you don't have the qualification to make me leave. Your parents should have taught you this basic principle. Do I need to remind you again?" Su Zhan said calmly.
Earlier, when he had quietly exchanged words with Chu Xuanyi, many people had not heard them. However, this time, the curious martial artists who had been watching Su Zhan turned to him when they heard his words, and then they chuckled.
They all thought, "How could there be such a naive person in this world? Talking about reasoning? Ridiculous!"
On a nearby island, a middle-aged man in Daoist robes sneered, "Ignorant child, you actually tried to reason with Brother Feng Yue. Should I teach this little brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth a lesson on behalf of Brother Feng Yue?"
"Oh, it's Brother Xie Yun. When I visit the Green Jade County, I'll be sure to have a cup of tea at your Xie family's place. As for this ignorant kid, Fellow Daoist Xie, you don't need to bother with him!" Feng Yue glanced at the familiar middle-aged man of the Fourth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm and coldly snorted. He then thrust his palm toward Su Zhan.
"Brother Xie, do you think Feng Yue is that foolish? Allowing you to use this opportunity to make him owe you a favor?" Another martial artist next to Xie Yun said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter; I'm just trying it out," Xie Yun replied, "To be honest, in the area around the Nine Lakes County, there are almost no more people daring enough to provoke Feng Yue. This kid is only at the Second Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, yet he dares to challenge Feng Yue. Could it be that he has some powerful background?"
"Probably not! The core geniuses of those major forces who travel outside wouldn't be without protectors, right? The kid is going to almost beaten to death, and no one is coming to help."
"True, but if I had directly attacked and killed him just now, Feng Yue wouldn't have been able to ignore it in front of so many people. If I ever need his help in the future, it would be easier to ask for his assistance. I overthought it and hesitated, sigh!" Xie Yun sighed, feeling that he should have just directly attacked and killed Su Zhan earlier.
Chu Xuanyi landed on the water's surface, circulated his true qi, and stood still, observing with curiosity. His eyes revealed some interest.
A Fish-Dragon Realm Second Transformation with such confidence. Could it be that he really had the strength to confront Feng Yue?
Just as this thought surfaced in his mind, he saw a dazzling starlight suddenly appear on Su Zhan's body.
Sensing Su Zhan's aura of blood and qi, Chu Xuanyi's gaze sharpened. Body cultivation!
Among the many cultivation paths of martial artists, sword cultivation and body cultivation were the two strongest in direct combat capabilities. And usually, body cultivators were even stronger than sword cultivators of the same realm because there were too many sword cultivators with mixed abilities.
The path of body cultivation was extremely difficult, and each body cultivator had an extraordinarily tenacious willpower to persevere on this path. If he was a body cultivator and mastered some extremely powerful body-refining techniques and fist techniques, coupled with his physique being specially tempered, it wouldn't be impossible for him to have the chance to confront Feng Yue.
After all, the Second Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm was just the beginning of the body cultivation's dominance.
As Chu Xuanyi was still thinking this way, the scene before him erased that thought instantly. In fact, his brain temporarily blanked out because the scene he witnessed was so shocking.
In front of him, Su Zhan activated the Limitless Stellar Body and threw a punch.
Then, the previously arrogant and domineering Feng Yue was sent flying backward with even greater speed than when he charged towards Su Zhan!
Like a meteor, he crashed heavily into a reef hundreds of meters away.
"Boom!"
The reef instantly shattered, and Feng Yue's body sank into the lake below!
Strands of blood surged, dyeing a small portion of the lake's surface red.
