Xuanwu War Sovereign

Struck by a bolt of gray lightning, Su Mu was scorched black, his clothes in tatters.

Qin Feng laughed. "Elder Su, you’re looking great! Did you just get back from firing a kiln or selling charcoal? You’re so black you’re almost purple!"

Su Mu’s face was already scorched black, but upon hearing this, it darkened until it was practically purple with rage.

He shot Qin Feng an icy glare, then turned without hesitation. Transforming into a streak of light like a sharp blade, Su Mu shot toward the edge of the Chaos Divine Thunder Array.

Su Mu was incredibly fast. Even with his grievous injuries, he covered dozens of yards in the blink of an eye, on the verge of escaping the Array.

Su Mu was escaping!

"Elder Su is running?" Inside the Array, the other Martial Artists from the Medicine King Hall were dumbfounded.

’Can he really escape?’ A sharp glint appeared in Qin Feng’s eyes. There was no way he would let Su Mu get away!

Qin Feng activated the last of his Innate True Qi, and a pale gray Thunder Ball materialized in his palm.

"Go!"

The pale gray Thunder Ball shot out like a meteor tearing through the Void, appearing behind Su Mu in the next instant.

Su Mu’s face went deathly pale, and the hair on his body stood on end. His eyes revealed a trace of despair, fury, and indignation.

He was a master of the Fourth Secret Realm of the Condensing Vein Realm, yet he was about to die at the hands of a mere Martial Artist at the Tenth Heaven of Martial Arts!

"No!"

Su Mu’s eyes blazed red as he let out a final, furious roar.

Just as the pale gray lightning was about to engulf Su Mu, a smile touched Qin Feng’s lips. But in the next moment, his expression froze.

A figure seemed to squeeze out of the Void, materializing behind Su Mu. He reached out a fair, slender hand and, with a light grasp of his five fingers, caught the terrifying Chaos Thunder Ball in his palm.

It was a young man. He wore a black robe, and his loose, fluffy black hair cascaded down to his waist. His face was fair, giving him a very clean-cut appearance.

His eyebrows were a mix of black and white; a layer of fine, white down seemed to float over the black, as if he had two layers of eyebrows.

He didn’t exude the slightest aura of a master. His expression was languid.

Qin Feng’s pupils contracted. That terrifying Chaos Thunder Ball, powerful enough to annihilate a great figure of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, was like a common toy in this man’s hand.

"Chaos Divine Thunder... what a familiar scent!" As Qin Feng’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably, this terrifying being tossed the Chaos Divine Thunder in his hand, brought it to his nose to smell it, and then actually popped it into his mouth and swallowed it.

"A very pure flavor!" The man narrowed his eyes, seemingly reminiscing.

GULP!

Qin Feng’s throat bobbed. He sucked in a sharp breath.

’This is a Giant!’

’This man before me is definitely a Giant from All Stars Academy!’

’The battle here actually attracted the attention of a Giant!’

A flicker of unease crossed Qin Feng’s eyes. ’This has become a huge mess!’

The man’s gaze swept over Qin Feng, whose muscles instantly stiffened. He felt as if he were being stared down by some Taigu Giant Beast, completely unable to move.

Fortunately, the man’s gaze only lingered for a moment before moving elsewhere. After a brief pause, he chuckled. "Ah, so it’s a Chaos Divine Thunder Array. I see!"

The terrifying being’s gaze fell back on Qin Feng, his expression becoming indifferent. "Little one, why did you try to kill him?"

"Are you aware that fighting amongst fellow disciples is a great taboo at All Stars Academy?"

The man’s voice was faint, yet an immense pressure suddenly bore down on Qin Feng’s heart.

’It seems all my efforts will be for nothing.’ A bitter smile appeared on Qin Feng’s lips. In stark contrast to Qin Feng’s wry expression, Su Mu’s face was filled with unconcealable ecstasy.

Su Mu had escaped death!

Seeing the black-robed man challenge Qin Feng, Su Mu lifted his head and shot Qin Feng a venomous glare. He then turned to the black-robed man and pleaded in a sorrowful voice, "Senior, you must seek justice for our Medicine King Hall! This boy’s crimes are monstrous. He slaughters his fellow disciples at will and shows no respect for his elders. His wicked deeds are too numerous to count!"

Su Mu pointed at the unconscious Wei Qinghuang on the ground. "Senior, please look! That is an Inspector from my Medicine King Hall. Our Inspector was merely carrying out his duties when this little bastard ambushed and crippled him, captured and humiliated him, and even cut off his manhood! His cruelty is simply appalling!"

Hearing this, Luan Xiaochuan, Xu Jie, and the others grew frantic. Luan Xiaochuan stepped forward and retorted loudly, "Su Mu, you’re spouting nonsense and twisting the facts! Our Cave Master..."

"Silence!"

BANG! The black-robed man swept his wide sleeve, and an invisible blast of wind wrapped around Luan Xiaochuan, sending him flying several yards.

He landed with a thud.

BLECH!

Luan Xiaochuan’s face paled as he spat out a mouthful of blood!

Seeing this, Su Mu was overjoyed. He tilted his head, his venomous and triumphant gaze on the black-robed youth so intense it was almost tangible.

The black-robed man’s indifferent gaze landed on the youth, who was also dressed in a black robe. "Do you have anything else to say?"

Qin Feng sighed, his expression neither servile nor overbearing. "Senior, you are a wise judge. As a Giant of our All Stars Academy, your eyes are like torches. I trust that this disciple need not explain the details, as nothing that has happened here could have escaped your notice!"

His eyes noncommittal, the black-robed man sneered. "So you’re saying you’re innocent?"

Qin Feng looked directly at the black-robed man. "Right and wrong are for you to decide, Senior. This disciple need not say more!"

Qin Feng was making a gamble—betting that this powerful, black-robed master had already witnessed everything.

Qin Feng believed the appearance of this black-robed master was no coincidence; he must have noticed this place long ago!

The black-robed man stared intently at the composed, black-robed youth before him, his expression growing colder and colder. Anyone else would have been scared into a panic; even a braver person would have a racing heart, a flushed face, and cold feet.

But Qin Feng’s expression remained calm and collected.

The black-robed man’s gaze grew ever more severe, and the atmosphere on Heavenly Red Peak grew heavy.

The mood was turning increasingly grim!

’Cave Master, just explain it to this great master!’

Luan Xiaochuan, Xu Jie, Zhao Yuan, and the other Medicine Boys felt their mouths go dry. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Su Mu and his men, however, looked excited, their eyes growing colder.

’This brat actually dares to talk back to a supreme master like him.’

’He’s simply courting death!’

After a moment, a smile suddenly bloomed on the black-robed man’s face, like ice melting away. "Little one, your composure is quite good. To think you can meet my gaze without flinching!"

"Your mind isn’t bad either. You must have guessed that I’d already arrived!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"You guessed correctly. Several days ago, after I arrived here, nothing in this area, big or small, has escaped my notice. That includes you castrating this Wei Qinghuang. I saw it all!"

As the black-robed man’s oppressive aura lifted from him, Qin Feng wiped his sweaty palms and breathed a sigh of relief. Although his willpower was extraordinary, his Cultivation was still low. After withstanding the pressure from this Giant for so long, his body had nearly reached its limit.

If it had gone on for another moment, Qin Feng definitely would have been disgraced.

Qin Feng looked up and said earnestly, "You praise me too much, Senior. Your Divine Techniques are unparalleled, so of course nothing here could escape your discerning eyes. The truth of the matter has always been clear to you!"

Qin Feng felt a bit awkward. In his past life, he was always the one being flattered. It was his turn to speak such insincere words now.

Nearby, listening to their conversation, Su Mu was starting to feel that something was wrong.

"Alright, that’s enough. I’ve been hearing that kind of talk for hundreds of years, and I’m a bit sick of it!"

With a faint smile, the black-robed man reached out and clenched his hand in the Void. Su Mu, who was behind him, was suddenly lifted as if an invisible hand had seized him by the neck. His legs kicking in the air, he was swung around to face the black-robed man.

Staring at the terrifying black-robed man before him, Su Mu’s face was a mask of utter horror. He gaped like a dying fish, unable to speak.

The black-robed man’s white brows twitched. His cold gaze fell upon Su Mu. "You worthless piece of trash. You really don’t know what’s good for you. I show a rare moment of kindness in centuries to save your life, and you try to play me for a Monkey!"

"Your death would be no loss!" The black-robed man opened his mouth and spat out a pale gray Chaos Thunder Ball.

"Here, you can have this back!" The black-robed man grabbed the Chaos Thunder Ball and forcibly shoved it into Su Mu’s open mouth!

Casually tossing Su Mu aside, the black-robed man flickered and vanished from Heavenly Red Peak.

Su Mu knelt on the ground, his face dazed. After a moment, a bitter smile formed on his lips. He had tried to be clever, but it had backfired spectacularly. He had brought this upon himself!

The next moment, Su Mu’s body crumbled, turning into drifting ash!
