The people present were the young elites of the Four Departnts of Capital City. In other words, they were a group possessing extraordinary martial power, far more formidable than mbers of the Flying Leopard. They understood better than anyone the terror of a true master, one whose power could utterly crush their own.
Once such a person got angry, no rules or regulations could restrain them. But if what Chen Fei said wasn't a joke, if he really intended to destroy Luo Qinghai's current Cultivation Realm, then this was no longer a simple matter, but a major incident of the highest order.
After all, he was a Mid Innate Ancient Martial Artist who had achieved True Qi Condensation, and he was so young! Even a behemoth like the Celestial Group, wealthy and powerful as it was, would never be willing to accept such a loss, right?
So, if Chen Fei really did it, he would truly be turning on them and tearing away all pretense. The resulting situation and its consequences would be unimaginable.
"Who the hell do you think you are? Don't think you can be so arrogant just because your cultivation is a little higher. You think you're so great? Destroy my Cultivation Realm? Do you know who I am? Do you have any idea what kind of behemoth stands behind ? Let tell you! The Celestial Group is behind ! The second-ranked of the Four Departnts of Capital City! The very ground you're standing on is Celestial Group territory! Do you believe that with a single word, I, Luo Qinghai, can take care of all you motherf..."
But Luo Qinghai had grown up within the Celestial Group and always had it easy. He had never faced any real setbacks. In fact, he had even left competitors like Sui Mingqi far behind, being the first to step into the Innate Middle Stage of Ancient Martial Artists. Naturally, this only fueled his arrogance and pride. So, even though Chen Fei had defeated him so miserably and utterly humiliated him, seeing that his opponent was still unwilling to let things go and instead pressed his advantage with threats, Luo Qinghai couldn't stop the arrogant fire from rushing to his head. He jumped up, pointed a finger at Chen Fei's nose, and cursed.
After all, what is my identity and status? I'm a mber of the Celestial Group! Not only that, I'm an elite of the younger generation, highly valued by the leadership and upper echelons! So even if I started it and lost badly due to my own weakness, there's no way he can actually do anything to . Otherwise, is the Celestial Group behind just a bunch of pushovers? No one has the guts or the right to act so presumptuously on our territory! To him, Chen Fei's threats and warnings were a complete joke, utterly powerless.
"Luo Qinghai, what the hell are you talking about..." Seeing that he was already so soundly defeated, yet was still foolishly pointing and cursing at a monster like Chen Fei, the more sensible mbers of the Celestial Group nearly jumped out of their skins, frantically trying to shut him up.
In their eyes, Luo Qinghai's current actions were completely brainless, as if his head had been slamd in a door. Even if this is our Celestial Group's territory, and even if you are one of our elites, the problem is you've already lost so miserably, without any chance to even fight back. In this situation, you're still mindlessly provoking him? Are you trying to test his bottom line? Are you using yourself as an experint to see just how much he'll tolerate? And if you push it too far, how will this situation ever be resolved?
Just thinking about it made Liu Chudong, Liuu Jinyun, and the others look at Luo Qinghai differently, as if they were looking at a complete idiot. This kind of brain-damaged guy is truly digging his own grave.
But their warnings ca too late. Upon hearing Luo Qinghai's familiar-sounding curses, Chen Fei's expression instantly turned grim.
"You think I'm nothing? Fine. I'll show you exactly what I, Chen Fei, am!" Chen Fei's eyes flashed with a terrifying cold light. Imdiately, a fierce gust of wind swirled up around him. Seeing this, everyone's pupils shrank. What is this!?
But before they could even react with astonishnt, they saw that a gray stone mirror had sohow appeared in Chen Fei's hands. The next mont, he had already thrown the stone mirror into the air.
"A Magic Artifact?" Upon seeing the gray stone mirror in Chen Fei's hands, Liu Chudong, who had only been slightly shaken before, was now completely astounded. The words escaped his lips in a cry of surprise. He hadn't expected Chen Fei to actually possess a Qi Practitioner's Magic Artifact. Then again, maybe it wasn't so unexpected. It was as if he had been ntally prepared for this.
WHOOSH!
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!
The stone mirror hung eerily suspended in mid-air. Strands of earthy-yellow light spread out from it like starlight, instantly forming seven or eight thick currents of energy. Swirling with an ominous black light, they fearlessly and violently surged toward Luo Qinghai, whose expression had already changed drastically. It was a shocking sight.
In an instant, the air filled with a dense brilliance and a piercing shriek. With a look of terror on his face, Luo Qinghai frantically counterattacked, his True Qi erupting violently.
SIZZLE! SIZZLE! SIZZLE!
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
The seven or eight thick currents of black energy had already slamd into the True Qi swirling around Luo Qinghai, producing a dull, teeth-grinding sound of corrosion. Almost at the mont of contact, the protective True Qi in front of Luo Qinghai seed unable to bear the assault, making a gritty, grinding sound as the streams of black energy washed over it.
Instantly, Luo Qinghai's expression changed dramatically, his face flushing an unnatural, bloody red.
CLANG!
However, before Luo Qinghai could even panic, a piercing, intense buzzing rang in his ear. The surging True Qi protecting him trembled violently. A thumb-sized gap, visible to the naked eye, was instantly sliced into it by the dark light. The panic on Luo Qinghai's face intensified, now mixed with a clear trace of horror.
"Did you really think I was joking with you?" Chen Fei's pitch-black eyes stared him down, his gaze turning instantly cold and sharp. His voice was like the edge of a blade as it suddenly chilled. "Since you don't believe , I'll show you right now. I'll show you whether I, Chen Fei, dare to cripple your cultivation right here in the Base of the Celestial Group!"
He calmly pointed a hand toward the stone mirror floating in mid-air. His other hand moved rapidly, forming a certain Seal Gesture. All at once, the wind howled, and an unbelievably dense aura surged up from the earth itself, filling the air. It astonishingly coalesced into a massive, earthy-yellow serpent several ters long.
HISS!
The earthy-yellow serpent raised its fearso head to the sky and let out a hiss. A terrifying pressure instantly radiated outwards. With a single movent, its massive body lunged from mid-air, its gaping maw opening wide to swallow Luo Qinghai, whose face had already turned deathly pale from shock. The sight left everyone utterly stunned.
GASP!
"What the hell is that!?"
This bizarre and shocking thod of attack sent a chill surging up from the depths of everyone's hearts. It was simply too terrifying, making them gasp in utter disbelief.
"This kind of technique is..." Not far away, under a lush, leafy tree, Sui Mingqi of the Celestial Group, dressed in a yellow long-sleeved T-shirt, looked on in amazent. He turned to Liu Jinyun beside him and spoke with incredulity.
"That's right. It's one of their techniques." Liu Jinyun's face was filled with shock as he muttered, his eyes deep in thought. "If I'm not mistaken, that gray stone mirror in his hand must be one of the legendary Magic Artifacts of the Qi Practitioners. I never imagined that kid was actually a Qi Practitioner. Could it be he ca from *over there*? Is that how he knows Liu Chudong?"
It was clear he knew about Qi Practitioners, which was why he recognized the origin of the Mystic Stone Mirror in Chen Fei's hand at a single glance. Even so, the profound shock deep in his eyes, along with a hint of envy, was impossible to suppress.
It couldn't be helped. What did the legendary Qi Practitioners represent? They were transcendent beings, on a higher level than even Ancient Martial Artists! Even elites of the Four Departnts of Capital City like them could only look up in admiration. Only the absolute best of the best had even a sliver of hope of being selected and sent *over there* to beco a reserve mber. But now, a legendary Qi Practitioner from a level higher than Ancient Martial Artists had appeared right before his eyes, in the flesh. That feeling, that experience... the shock and awe in his heart was simply beyond words. In short, his feelings were incredibly complex.
Only soone like Liu Chudong, who had just returned from that place, had an expression that wasn't nearly as shocked. He was also one of them and possessed similar offensive thods; he just wasn't as formidable as Chen Fei. The power of a Magic Artifact in a Qi Practitioner's hands depends on two things: the artifact's grade and the Cultivation Level of the Qi Practitioner wielding it. And from the current situation, it's clear that Chen Fei's Cultivation Realm far exceeds my own.
"Humph! Such audacity! How dare you cause trouble on the territory of my Celestial Group?"
Just as the Earth Dragon ford from the Mystic Stone Mirror was about to swallow the petrified Luo Qinghai, a cold snort filled with chilling nace suddenly echoed. From not far away, a terrifying fluctuation of True Qi seed to rush over, shattering the raging winds in the blink of an eye.
The earthy-yellow serpent ford by the Mystic Stone Mirror was also forced back. An aged figure then shot forward, appearing beside Luo Qinghai in an instant. When soone got a clear look at the newcor's face, they cried out in shock, "Second Elder!?"
It turned out that the person who had suddenly intervened was none other than the Celestial Group's second-highest-ranking elder. This ranking was determined by strength, aning this Second Elder was the second most powerful among all the elders. This alone was a testant to his formidable power.
This point was further proven by his ability to casually repel the earthy-yellow serpent. This old man had, at the very least, reached the Late Stage of the Innate Realm of Ancient Martial Artists—equivalent to sss Level
