Xiao Qingfeng’s anger flared up again. Every single person who had anything to do with Rong Zhuofan was trouble!
Xiao Hongyu stepped forward. “Miss, we don’t mean any harm. We’re just curious. After all, we’ve been staking this place out for two months…”
“Two months? Even if I gave you two more years, you still wouldn’t be able to handle what’s down there.” Feng Qingran’s posture was proud as she sneered.
Everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
“Does the young lady know what’s down there?” Baili Xuanqing asked.
“Of course I… don’t. I haven’t been down there. I just have a feeling that whatever is down there would wear you all out to death.” Feng Qingran was arrogantly blunt, as if she wasn’t afraid of offending anyone in the slightest.
“You!” Xiao Qingfeng’s hand trembled as he pointed at Feng Qingran.
Zheng! —
The sound of a sword being drawn.
Xiao Qingfeng’s voice was cold. “So arrogant, you clearly need to be taught a lesson!”
An imposing pressure radiated from Xiao Qingfeng, causing the faces of several clan leaders to pale slightly.
The strength of a mid-stage Void God Realm cultivator was truly terrifying!
Feng Qingran’s expression remained unchanged. With a flick of her wrist, a sword appeared in her hand. With a graceful spin, she easily deflected Xiao Qingfeng’s strike.
Feng Qingran wielded her sword, flourishing it into a decorative pattern. Her eyes turned slightly cold as she slashed out a sword aura.
The sword aura surged toward Xiao Qingfeng. Following up with a backflip, as light and graceful as a startled swan, she thrust out another sword blade.
The blade was as hard and cold as iron, while the sword aura was as soft and boneless as water.
A flicker of disdain passed through Xiao Qingfeng’s eyes. Such a slow sword aura, and she had the nerve to show it off.
Xiao Qingfeng raised his hand, holding his sword before his eyes to block the aura.
Bang! —
A powerful force exploded outward.
Caught off guard for a moment, Xiao Qingfeng was blasted backward.
Before Xiao Qingfeng could regain his senses, the sword blade grazed past the top of his head, slicing off a lock of hair.
Xiao Qingfeng’s pupils contracted violently as he watched the falling strand of hair. Cold sweat poured down his back, and his entire body went stiff.
Baili Xuanqing was even more shocked. She really is a monster!
Xiao Hongyu’s lowered hand trembled. The sword technique Feng Qingran had used was something he had never heard of.
But her current sword intent was clearly far beyond the Heavenly Man Realm.
In the world of sword cultivators, it wasn’t about how powerful the sword technique one cultivated was; the realm of sword intent was what mattered most.
The realms of Sword Intent were divided into: Entry, Mortal, Above Mortal, Lower Immortal, Upper Immortal, Heavenly Man, Immortal, Entering Sage, and Sage.
Once one’s sword intent could reach the Entering Sage realm, even if their cultivation base was a level lower, they would still have the strength to fight.
Just where did this freak come from?
Rong Zhuofan didn’t understand the intricacies of swordsmanship, but he knew that Feng Qingran had defeated Xiao Qingfeng.
Rong Zhuofan couldn’t help but feel relieved. Thank goodness I didn’t offend Feng Qingran, otherwise I’d be the unlucky one right now.
Seeing everyone’s eyes on her, Feng Qingran flicked her wrist, and the sword vanished.
She straightened her sleeves. “Sorry, I’m not one for causing trouble. I’m just passing through here and am interested in what’s down there…”
Upon hearing Feng Qingran’s words, everyone tensed up.
Feng Qingran said casually, “But, I won’t compete with you for what’s down there. I just want to see what it is.”
Hoo! —
Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Strong cultivators usually valued their reputation.
Since she said she wouldn’t compete for it, she surely meant it.
“Young lady, might I ask if you would be willing to help us deal with the strange beast down there?” The elderly man, over fifty, bowed respectfully towards Feng Qingran.
“I won’t get involved, but if someone gets injured, I can help.” Feng Qingran had an air of detachment, looking on with disinterest.
Only Panghu kept its eyes fixed intently on Feng Qingran.
That bad woman!
She wants to steal my thing!
“Why are you all staring at me? Aren’t you going to continue discussing your plan?” Feng Qingran folded her arms across her chest, looking leisurely prepared.
Xiao Hongyu’s sword-like brows furrowed slightly. Why does this girl give off such a strange feeling?
One moment, she was as indifferent as frost.
The next, she was lively and agile.
“Chief Rong, how about letting your contracted beast go down for a look?” Xiao Qingfeng glanced towards Panghu. Feng Qingran had praised it earlier!
“Chief Xiao, listen to yourself. Are you even speaking human language? You don’t want to go down, so what do you want it to go down for?” Rong Zhuofan retorted sarcastically.
“I would like to go down, but I have no common language with that beast down there. Communication between beasts is much smoother.” Xiao Qingfeng’s eyes flickered. Who can’t be passive-aggressive?
Rong Zhuofan patted Panghu. “He’s insulting you. Aren’t you going to bite him?”
Roar! —
Panghu roared towards Xiao Qingfeng.
At the same time, a terrifying pressure emanated from Panghu.
The pressure of a Sacred Beast was equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Integration Stage. Xiao Qingfeng naturally couldn’t withstand it. He summoned his own contracted beast.
A Netherworld Monkey appeared. The monkey’s eyes were crimson, its fur was jet-black, and it had three heads and six arms, looking extremely ferocious.
As soon as the Netherworld Monkey emerged, it faced off against the Saber-Toothed Tiger.
The pressure released by the two beasts made the cultivators present somewhat unable to bear it.
Only Rong Zhuofan and Xiao Qingfeng, protected by their contracted beasts, looked slightly better.
The others all chose to move away from the two beasts.
It was only then they realized that Feng Qingran was still standing where she was, as steady as a mountain.
The pressure from the two beasts seemed to have absolutely no effect on her!
At this, everyone was utterly shaken!
The pressure of the Integration Stage was something even Void God Realm experts couldn’t handle!
