Chapter 23: Kill to Display Dominance!
"Ling... Ling Feng repelled Senior Brother Xiao?"
"Oh god! Is it possible that Ling Feng's insight is even more extraordinary than that of Senior Brother Xiao?"
A searing heat flushed across Xiao Qingfeng's face as he locked his intense gaze onto Ling Feng, a surge of anger boiling within his chest.
"Why? Is it because being defeated by a mere ant like me has ignited a surge of humiliation and resentment in you?"
Confronting Xiao Qingfeng's cold and malicious stare, Ling Feng uttered calmly, "Do individuals of your kind truly merit the title of a genius?"
"Ling Feng!" Xiao Qingfeng's fists tightened, and he ground his steel teeth nearly to pieces. "Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to give me orders? It was only a momentary lapse on my part that allowed you to take advantage just now! Next time, I will make sure to kill you!"
"Coming again?" Ling Feng's gaze held a hint of cold arrogance as he extended a finger, casually waving it in front of Xiao Qingfeng. "You? Are you even worthy?"
Hiss!
With these words, the surrounding disciples all took a sharp breath, stunned by what they had just heard.
Ling Feng was truly fearless. Even if he had comprehended the Ninefold Ocean-Guarding Fist, he needed to understand who Xiao Qingfeng was.
He was at the eight level of Qi Formation
Was he, a cultivator of a mere fourth level of Qi Formation, truly considering defying the natural order?
"You're seeking death!" Xiao Qingfeng, never having endured such humiliation, swept his long sword, launching himself at Ling Feng like a famished tiger pouncing on its prey.
His once handsome face twisted into a terrifying mask of rage, Xiao Qingfeng's appearance turned ferocious and ominous. Despite the considerable distance, numerous disciples among the onlookers hastily stepped back, afraid of being caught in the fallout of this enraged "tiger".

Ling Feng remained calm, standing in place with ease and composure.
With the ability to present the sect leader's token and the safeguard of Duanmu Qingshan, what significance did Xiao Qingfeng really hold?
During this period, he dedicated himself not only to the cultivation of the Ninefold Ocean-Guarding Fist but also achieved mastery in the Starshatter Sword Technique.
With this sword technique and his own strength, there was no guarantee that he was inferior to Xiao Qingfeng.
Clang!
The long sword unsheathed, Ling Feng's clear eyes reflected the ferocious appearance of Xiao Qingfeng. The ominous figure in green came rushing, inducing a breath-catching sensation.
It happened too quickly!
Xiao Qingfeng's sword, seemingly morphing into the sinister hand of a demon, surged with a fierce aura. With a powerful leap, he brought it down forcefully, reminiscent of the strength needed to split a mountain.
This sword was Xiao Qingfeng's renowned move, the very blade that earned him his reputation. It was with this domineering and robust sword technique that Xiao Qingfeng became well-known within the sect.
"It's Senior Brother Xiao's most formidable killing move, Tiger Descends the Mountain!"
"Such a terrifying sword qi! Is Ling Feng really going to confront it head-on?"
"He's doomed, absolutely doomed!"
Ling Feng's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of annoyance in his heart. "This move was unleashed with full force and leaving no room for error. It seems like he wants to kill me!"
Since the other party harbored murderous intent, he wouldn't show any mercy either!
"Die!"
A cold glint flashed in Ling Feng's eyes as the first divine mark of the Heavenly Dao Eye activated. He had completely seen through Xiao Qingfeng's sword technique.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Feng gracefully sidestepped. Swiftly, he redirected his sword, grazing Xiao Qingfeng's blade. The resulting shockwave effortlessly diffused the ferocity of Xiao Qingfeng's sword technique. Sparks scattered as, with a single move, Ling Feng completely nullified Xiao Qingfeng's deadly strike, throwing his opponent's footwork into disarray.
"My turn!"
With the ability of the Heavenly Dao Eye, Ling Feng had complete knowledge of Xiao Qingfeng's sword techniques and footwork. Every weakness was glaringly exposed.
Executing the Flashing Steps to its utmost, Ling Feng's sword displayed an unpredictable and boundless dance. Like an oracle, he seemed to foresee every move of Xiao Qingfeng. Wherever Xiao Qingfeng dodged, Ling Feng's blade was already there, waiting for him. This left Xiao Qingfeng in a state of chaos, struggling to keep up.
Despite having a true qi cultivation far surpassing Ling Feng's, Xiao Qingfeng found himself restricted and unable to fully leverage the advantages of his superior true qi.
"How is this possible? That Ling Feng's sword technique is even more formidable than Senior Brother Xiao's!"
"It's impossible, I must be seeing things!"
The spectators, disciples, and even the stewards stood there dumbfounded, their minds echoing with the three words: "It's not possible."
"Kill!" Enraged by Ling Feng's disruption of the rhythm, Xiao Qingfeng couldn't contain his fury. With a thunderous leap, he swung his long sword in a wild frenzy, determined to bring down Ling Feng even if it meant sustaining injuries.
Unfortunately, Xiao Qingfeng's excessive anger clouded his judgment. With such a frenzied assault, he was unwittingly digging his own grave.
In no time, Xiao Qingfeng's qi was significantly depleted, while Ling Feng remained vigorous. Stepping forward with a lively footwork, Ling Feng executed the Starshatter Sword Technique. With a move called Heavenly Stars, he pierced through Xiao Qingfeng's right arm.
Clang!
Xiao Qingfeng's long sword fell to the ground as he clutched his right wrist, screaming madly in pain.
"My hand! My hand!"
For a swordsman, rendering his right hand useless was akin to destroying his life in the way of the sword.
"Ling Feng, you're quite audacious to actually sever Qingfeng's tendons!"
From the crowd, a steward from the main sect leaped out, glaring coldly at Ling Feng. His voice emanated like a chilling breeze from the depths of the underworld, sending shivers down the spine.
"Cripple his tendons?" Ling Feng showed no sign of retreat, meeting the gaze of the steward. He sneered, "If he wants to kill me, am I not allowed to fight back? I not only want to cripple him, but I also want to end him!"
Ling Feng, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, raised his hand and ruthlessly brought down his sword.
Swoosh!
A severed head shot into the sky as Xiao Qingfeng's body, partially kneeling on the ground, unleashed a fountain of blood from his neck, spraying over ten feet high.
The severed head rolled on the ground, coming to a perfect stop at the feet of the steward. With its eyes wide open in disbelief. Until the moment of death, he couldn't comprehend that Ling Feng had truly dared to take a life.
"Ahh!"
"He... he... he really killed Senior Brother Xiao!"
The nearby disciples quivered, and the shock was so intense that some female disciples directly fainted.
Boldly, Ling Feng wielded his sword and took a life before the eyes of everyone, including the steward of the main peak!
His audacity seemed to be a bit too much!
"Sinful pest! You seek death!"
Enraged, the steward quivered, and several other officials and stewards with significant positions in the inner sect joined him, surrounding Ling Feng in the center.
The accusation of harming fellow disciples was enough for them to capture Ling Feng on the spot, with no regard for his life.
"Whoever dares to touch a single strand of my hair can give it a try!"
Facing such a formidable lineup, Ling Feng remained fearless. He took out the sect leader's token from his bosom and said, "Open your eyes wide and take a good look. What is this?"
As soon as the sect leader's token appeared, those stewards remembered that not long ago, even the guarding elder had suffered greatly under the authority of this token. With their limited positions as mere stewards, how could they possibly bring Ling Feng to justice?
"Piss off!" Ling Feng raised the sect leader's token up high. "Whoever dares to be in my way will die!"
All the stewards and officials lowered their heads quietly. Even if they were unhappy, they could only retreat to the side as they were afraid of standing in Ling Feng's way.
