"So this is Heavenly Red Peak?"

In the distance, a massive peak emerged from above the Sea of Clouds. Bathed in the golden sun on the horizon, the entire mountain seemed to be cloaked in a layer of gold.

A faint rainbow arched across the peak, Spiritual Qi fell like rain, and ancient pines and emerald cypresses dotted the landscape.

"CAW CAW, Eighth Master likes this!" Eighth Master awoke from his nap, craning his avian neck to take in the view.

"CAW CAW! Wow, so much Spirit Medicine!" Eighth Master’s eyes went wide, and he nearly started drooling.

"CAW CAW, Eighth Master is about to strike it rich!"

From afar, specks of spiritual orchids dotted the greenery, and the medicinal fragrance was so dense it seemed to have materialized, forming a tangible, rolling mist. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

As he drew closer, a vast Celestial Pool Bright Lake appeared before Qin Feng’s eyes.

At the same time, an invisible force manifested before Heavenly Red Peak. Wisps of power intertwined to form a massive, unseen vortex-like barrier, and a shroud of mist enveloped the entire peak.

Countless specks of strange energy materialized within the Sea of Clouds, forming an ethereal mist from which a faint sense of danger emanated.

Flashes of golden light could be faintly seen bursting from within the clouds!

It was a warning!

’Peak Protection Prohibition!’

Qin Feng’s expression shifted as he glanced at it. An All Stars Token flew out from his waist—it was the control Gold Seal for Heavenly Red Peak’s Bibo Cave.

A ripple of golden light pulsed, and a grand path appeared through the mist. Qin Feng activated the control Gold Seal, and with a single step onto the golden avenue, he instantly appeared within Heavenly Red Peak.

"Who goes there?"

"Who dares trespass on Heavenly Red Peak? Such audacity!"

"Scoundrel! Surrender now!"

Qin Feng had not concealed his presence upon landing. Suddenly, piercing shouts and rebukes echoed from the distance as several figures pounced toward his position.

The weakest among them was at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Peak, and two were even experts of the First Secret Realm of the Condensing Vein Realm.

Without a second thought, the three figures shot through the air to kill, a vicious gleam in their eyes.

In just an instant, they were above Qin Feng, and three fierce torrents of power, thick with killing intent, came crashing down.

"How dare you invade our Heavenly Red Peak! Come and meet your death!" The three men unleashed their strongest moves almost simultaneously!

These men didn’t even ask for a reason, launching a deadly sneak attack from the very start. They were clearly intent on putting Qin Feng to death!

"CAW CAW, Boss, look out! They want to kill you!" Eighth Master shrieked, the black feathers on his head standing on end!

Eighth Master’s bloodline was special, making him exceptionally sensitive to the aura of death. He was the first to sound the alarm!

Qin Feng’s Spiritual Sense was abnormally powerful, and he reacted in a split second!

Qin Feng looked up and caught the fleeting, cold triumph in the eyes of his three assailants. ’They obviously know who I am.’

A blaze of fury erupted in his heart, and a tangible, cold glint surged in his eyes.

"Who are you?" Qin Feng roared. He never imagined that someone would dare to ambush him on Heavenly Red Peak. It was too late to dodge, so he hastily raised his Ancient Sword to block.

CLANG!

The next moment, three ferocious attacks slammed into the Ancient Sword. Three successive waves of immense force vibrated through the blade, and Qin Feng felt the hand gripping his sword go numb.

He was blasted back several steps, blood trickling from his hand. Qin Feng’s expression was utterly grim, the killing intent in his eyes practically bursting from their sockets.

"Who in the world are you?"

"The ones who are here to kill you!" A ferocious, venomous glint flashed in the triangular eyes of the gray-robed youth in the lead.

"Anyone who dares to trespass on Heavenly Red Peak must die!"

"Why waste words on him? No matter who he is, if he dares come to Heavenly Red Peak to poach, he deserves to die!"

The three figures pounced like cheetahs, their expressions full of cold malice, their smiles like those of venomous snakes and jackals.

Three faint, ghastly glints of blade light enveloped Qin Feng!

The stench of death washed over him. Qin Feng’s pupils narrowed to pinpricks; the faint glint of the blades sent a chill down to his very bones.

’Such outrageous audacity, to ambush and try to kill a Cave Master!’

’This is open rebellion!’

To be met with this situation the moment he arrived, Qin Feng was beyond furious! If it had been an ordinary Martial Arts Eighth Layer Middle Stage Martial Artist, that sneak attack just now would have been fatal!

"Innate Tide Extinction Fifth Sword!" Killing intent exploded in his eyes as a terrifying sword light erupted from his entire body! Like a rampaging tyrannosaurus, he advanced instead of retreating, meeting the three blade lights with a terrifying blast of his own sword.

The vast Innate Sword Qi was like a violent tide in the ocean.

He thrust out his sword, and it was as if the Star River itself had inverted, a colossal tide thundering forward.

The terrifying, tide-like Sword Qi tore through the three men’s blade lights as if they were rotten wood.

Under Qin Feng’s gaze, which was filled with a dazzling killing intent, the Sword Qi surged forward and violently slashed down upon the three men!

Caught in the terrifying torrent of Innate Sword Qi, the three men were like lone boats on the verge of being smashed to pieces at any moment.

"He’s this strong?!"

A trace of horror appeared in their eyes. Suppressing their shock, the three men hurriedly brandished their blades to protect themselves, pouring all their power into their weapons in a desperate attempt to block the blow.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

However, the three had still underestimated Qin Feng’s sword light. The light flashed, and the surging Innate Sword Qi crashed into them with the force of a tidal wave, sending them flying like cannonballs!

BAM! BAM! BAM!!

One after another, the three figures slammed into the stone cliff like cannonballs.

All three were grievously wounded!

"My turn!" A savage, cold light flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. His figure flickered like a wisp of wind, moving like a shadow. In the next breath, he caught up to the black-robed Martial Artist at the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Peak.

A chill ran down the black-robed Martial Artist’s spine as he felt a thick aura of death envelop him. He turned his head to see the black-robed youth had already appeared behind him.

The black-robed Martial Artist was scared out of his wits, his pupils dilating wide. He let out a furious roar, "Get away from me!"

A pitch-black, sinister blade light slashed out!

Qin Feng sneered. With a slash of his sword, he tore through the blade light. A faint sword light then streaked across the black-robed Martial Artist’s neck, and his Six Yang Leader flew into the air as a fountain of blood burst from the headless corpse.

It was a bloody, utterly shocking scene!

THUD! The black-robed Martial Artist’s head fell to the ground, his eyes wide open in death, filled with an expression that was hard to discern as shock or regret.

After finishing off the weakest of the three with a single strike, Qin Feng turned his savage gaze upon the remaining two.

’So fast!’

’Such ruthless methods!’

’How can a Martial Arts Eighth Layer Martial Artist this terrifying exist in this world?!’

The two men on the ground were stunned. But when they saw Qin Feng’s gaze fall upon them, their scalps tingled with fear, and they cried out in unison.

"Cave Master, spare us! We are Outer Disciples of Heavenly Red Peak’s Green Water Cave! Please be merciful, Cave Master! We thought an enemy was invading! This is all a misunderstanding!"

Their eyes darted about as they spouted lies and sophistry, attempting to bluff their way to safety.

"Spare you? Impossible! Don’t tell me you didn’t know my identity. This Heavenly Red Peak is surrounded by a Prohibition. Besides me, the Cave Master, who else could enter so openly and legitimately? And yet, you still attacked. You are courting death!!!"

He advanced on them step by step, his tone as tangible as ice. How could Qin Feng possibly spare these two? ’They are clearly being deceitful while harboring malicious intent. Sparing them will only bring me endless trouble!’

Seeing no hint of mercy in Qin Feng’s expression, a look of fear and resentment flashed in the eyes of one of the gray-robed youths on the ground. He blustered, "Qin Feng, you can’t kill us! We are Outer Disciples of the Medicine Garden! The All Stars Academy strictly forbids disciples from killing one another! If you kill us, once it’s discovered, you’ll also die without a proper burial!"

"Who said I killed you? It’s obvious the three of you got into a heated argument and ended up killing each other!" Qin Feng laughed, gripping his Longsword.

As they watched with expressions of absolute terror, two streaks of sword light flashed past. Both men were sliced in two at the waist!
