Li Feng frowned , feeling the powerful grip on his hand as he glanced at the figure who had appeared out of nowhere.

Looking at those thick, powerful muscles and the fierce aura radiating from the man , Li Feng felt a rare warning rise from his instincts....this closed-eyed fellow was dangerous.

"Hmph." With a low sneer , Li Feng exerted his strength through his hand and body.

HMM…!

CRACK…! CRACK…!

The ground below began to crack as rocks slowly floated upward, and a powerful aura radiating from between the two figures.

The surrounding air seemed to twist from their silent contest of sheer strength.

Grip!

"…!?" Li Feng's eyes widened slightly , still feeling the firm grip on his hand.

He wasn't able to move it any further toward Mo Shuyan.

Then he heard Mo Shuyan's casual voice , as if teasing him.

"It's useless~, Brother Bai Qianlong is not only a genius Body Tempering cultivator but also one of the top inner disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect."

After Mo Shuyan finish his words, the closed-eye figure raised his leg and kicked hard toward Li Feng's abdomen at a terrifying speed.

BAM! A shockwave rippled through the air from the impact.

Li Feng was hit and sent flying , crashing heavily into the ground as a huge crack spread out , sending dust and debris everywhere.

"...And in terms of raw strength, he stands at the top of his generation, Junior Brother Li~."

Mo Shuyan smiled and explained gently , already guessing based on the man's reaction ,this guy was probably the Junior Brother Li that the female cultivator from before had mentioned.

.....But despite his casual tone, Mo Shuyan couldn't help but tilt his head slightly as he noticed something felt off.

' Is this really the strength of a Qi Refinement cultivator? ' he thought , feeling the powerful aura that had erupted between Li Feng and Bai Qianlong. 'And that speed of his attack… I couldn't even follow it.'

BOOM!

After his words ended , a terrifying burst of aura exploded from where Li Feng was , as the dust instantly cleared.

Li Feng could be seen standing up normally while he frowned and caressed his abdomen.

'That actually hurt…'

This was the first time Li Feng had felt pain ever since he upgraded his Starforge Body to 30 Stars.

But something else was currently overwhelming him more than the pain , as Li Feng gritted his teeth hard , feeling a rush of anger after hearing what happened to Fen Ziyan.

Then his face and eyes suddenly turned cold.

If someone who knew Li Feng back on Earth saw this , they would have already created some distance, because whenever Li Feng became like this… it meant someone was about to have a bad day.

'So this guy is an inner disciple from another sect ?' Li Feng inwardly thought after recalling what Mo Shuyan said.

Instead of fear or caution , Li Feng was already prepared to fight this guy.

Even though he sensed that this man was powerful and dangerous… it wasn't an impossible fight.

'Goldie , go and try to capture that Mo Shuyan guy… and let me personally kill him.'

He silently gave the command to Goldie.

But before he could finish his thought, he instinctively threw his fist forward with full strength.

And suddenly , Bai Qianlong's face appeared right in front of his punch.

WHOOSH!

Yet the punch still missed as a fierce gust of wind blew out.

"…!? " Li Feng felt the world slow down as his eyes glanced downward — Bai Qianlong was already bending low , his fist already clenched tightly.

BAMM!

"Ughh ! "

Li Feng was struck from below the chin by a powerful rising fist.

The punch then shifted fluidly , as the man's elbow bending before shooting forward like a spear straight toward Li Feng's chest.

BAAM!!

SPURT!

The strike landed squarely on Li Feng's chest.

He spat out a mouthful of blood as his body was launched like a cannonball straight toward a nearby tree.

CRACK! CRACK!

The impact echoed as his body smashed through several trees before finally crashing into a huge boulder.

BOOM!

CRACK!

The boulder split apart like a spider web from the impact.

Then Mo Shuyan's voice echoed again, calm and teasing , as if he were simply commenting on the weather while watching the fight unfold.

" Ohh, and Brother Bai isn't just a genius in Body Tempering… he's also a powerful Late-Stage Foundation Cultivator~."

Li Feng, hearing this , gritted his teeth and stood up , wiping the blood from his mouth.

Feeling the lingering sting of pain from Bai Qianlong's elbow strike against his chest , Li Feng stared seriously at the imposing figure before him.

'So this guy's a Foundation Establishment cultivator too… hmph.' He sneered and spat out the blood from his mouth.

For some reason, instead of fear, his fighting spirit began to rise.

Mo Shuyan , who was smiling from a distance froze, as he suddenly noticed something.

Soon after the dust cleared, he saw Bai Qianlong's head bending slightly, and his cheek had curve inward as if it had just been hit hard.

"…What ? " He looked in confusion, and through his spiritual control, he quickly realized what had happened.

....Just before Li Feng's body was sent flying , he had actually managed to counter with a punch.

Bai Qianlong then calmly tilted his head back and looked toward Li Feng.

Seeing that subtle curve of his cheek on that handsome and calm face.

'So he actually felt that?' Li Feng's lips curled into a sharp smirk as he wiped the last trace of blood from his mouth.

'He's strong… but not invincible. And I still have a few trump cards left too.'

Slowly, he adjusted his breathing as he prepared to fight, and the wound on his chest had already started healing, invisible to the eye.

Mo Shuyan , who saw all of this , finally began to feel that something was strange about this Li Feng guy.

"Bai Qianlong, kill him…," so he order coldly.

Hearing the serious order , Bai Qianlong froze a bit before a huge pressure radiating from his body as he began to get into his stance , stomping his leg hard onto the ground and spreading his leg then lowering his body.

CRACK!

One of his hardened fists clenched at the waist while the other pointed straight toward Li Feng.

His long black wavy hair danced rhythmically in the wind.

Hmmm…

A suffocating aura spread out from him as the ground start cracking, the air trembling, with debris rising and quivering from pressure.

Li Feng's short hair also fluttered from the sheer force emanating from the figure in front of him..

Sensing the rising dangerous sensation that he felt for the first time , he slowly channeled all of his strength as he prepared to go all out.

The 30 Stars inside his body , as if sensing their master's intention, started to burn brighter and brighter, sending their energy toward Li Feng's body.

Slowly , a faint silvery aura began to appear surrounding his body , creating its own pressure to push against the suffocating force.

A clash of silvery aura against colorless aura twisted the air between the two figures.

And then , without a word…

Both figures vanished at the same time.

CRACK…!

The earth beneath their feet split apart , a network of fissures crawling outward like angry veins.

BOOOM!!

Two fists collided , creating a storm-like shockwave from the impact.

Then Li Feng suddenly was pushed a few steps back , while Bai Qianlong, like an unstoppable force, went forward and threw another powerful punch.

BAMM! BAMM!

Two powerful impacts resounded loudly as the earth below cracked.

Li Feng got hit squarely on the cheek, spitting out another mouthful of blood.

…but Bai Qianlong was in a similar state, his head tilted with a similar dent on his cheek, just like Li Feng.

Both had managed to land a hit on each other.

Without a pause, both figures fixed their posture and went for another attack , like beasts dying to tear each other apart.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

Each collision sounded like thunder tearing through the sky.

Their fists blurred like a storm of blows , shattering the ground beneath them and sending waves of dust, tinged with blood, rolling out in all directions.

But despite this seemingly even fight , Li Feng appeared at a disadvantage , as most of the blood spurting out in this storm of blows… belonged to him.

BAM!

Li Feng, who had been hit in the abdomen, gritted his already-bloody teeth and countered with a solid punch toward Bai Qianlong's face.

BAM!

But without caring about the hit, almost immediately, Bai Qianlong's powerful, relentless fist shot straight toward Li Feng's head.

And Li Feng managed to block it with his arm, which had already begun to turn numb.

SWISH!

BAM!

Without a moment's break , a powerful leg shot straight toward Li Feng's thigh.

"Ugh—!"

Li Feng groaned in pain, feeling as if his bone had broken and losing his balance slightly as his body lowered.

And like a beast seeing fresh blood , Bai Qianlong's steel-like fist lunged toward Li Feng's face again.

BOOM!

But Li Feng barely managed to dodge, causing the fist to slam into the earth and explode.

Li Feng immediately grabbed Bai Qianlong's lower head and thrust his knee toward it , but Bai Qianlong's hand shot up like a viper , catching Li Feng's thigh before the knee could connect.

CRACK—! His fingers dug into Li Feng's muscle and flesh like iron hooks.

With a sudden twist , Bai Qianlong lifted Li Feng's entire body and slammed him into the ground with enough force to make the earth quake.

BOOM!!!

A crater exploded beneath them as Li Feng's body sank into the shattered soil , with dust bursting outward like a wave.

"Ghh—!" Li Feng groaned , blood splattering from his lips as the impact rattled through his bones.

Before he could even regain his breath, Bai Qianlong's shadow loomed above him.

The man raised both fists overhead like a hammer.

BAMMMM!!

The blow came down like a collapsing mountain, the strike once again making the ground explode.

Meanwhile , Mo Shuyan , who was watching the storm of blows being exchanged , couldn't help but look in amazement.

"Wow… could it be Junior Brother Li is like that guy? "

His thoughts drifted toward the memory of a man that even he didn't even want to mess with,

.....The Second Emissary, also known as The Lone Harbinger, a battle genius who could fight across major realms yet always chose to move alone.

Then he shook his head. " No.... Junior Brother Li might be impressive , but he still falls a bit short… That guy is a monster among monsters, after all… And do you think I'm blind? "

Just as he finished , a huge looming shadow fell toward him.

BOOM!

Mo Shuyan smiled as he looked in a direction and saw a huge fist blocked by his tree vine.

His gaze follow the arm and saw a massive figure cloaked in an oversized, ragged robe, its golden-lit eyes staring straight at him through the vine.

Mo Shuyan then noticed something and muttered with interest.

"Oh ? …a puppet ?"
