Li Feng executed a swift turn and appeared behind Wang Jinkun.

Then, he raised his fist and aimed it at the spine on Wang Jinkun's back. The spine is the second brain of the human body. If it breaks, the lower half of the body would be instantly paralyzed.

When it comes to combat agility, Wang Jinkun doesn't stand a chance against Li Feng.

Wang Jinkun may seem dominant, but in reality, he's relying entirely on physical strength for his attacks. In terms of combat experience, he's lacking tremendously compared to Li Feng.

Though Wang Jinkun hired many sparring partners, they were all just doing it for money, none dared to truly strike hard.

Even though Wang Jinkun was trained by Xingyun for two days, that short time was far from enough to bring about any change, let alone compare to Li Feng who had ten years of battlefield experience skirting the edge of life and death.

This punch would be enough to settle the battle.

No matter how strange the opponent is, a broken spine can't allow miracles to happen.

But just when Li Feng's fist was about to strike Wang Jinkun's spine, a sudden change occurred.

The tattoo on Wang Jinkun's back seemed to come to life, suddenly opening a gaping mouth, attempting to swallow Li Feng's fist.

In an instant, Li Feng's hair stood on end, he forcefully stepped back, simultaneously twisting his waist, causing his spine to crackle, surprisingly recovering his thrusting fist mid-air.

Li Feng knelt on one knee, his back tingling with chills, and cold sweat poured from him.

Wang Jinkun slowly turned around, looking at Li Feng with a smile: "You noticed?"

Li Feng raised his eyes to Wang Jinkun.

"What the hell?"

Wang Jinkun let out a cold laugh: "That's not something you need to know. Anyway, since you must die, I might as well tell you, I'm not the only one who wants you dead."

Upon hearing Wang Jinkun's words, Li Feng immediately recalled the appearance of his grandfather, along with some things Li Wenlong had later told him.

His grandfather had faked his death and changed his identity to hide from a particular family. His grandfather's recent appearance was to warn Li Feng that this family had come.

And the family's attitude towards Li Feng was either to kill or capture him; none of it boded well for Li Feng.

Even his grandfather, an elder of Xinglin in the Ancient Martial World, had to stay away from them, which indicates the power they possess.

This explained why something so horrifying had happened to Wang Jinkun in just two days.

The ghostly spider on his back was not something worldly.

"Gu King Ghost Spider."

Mo Nan from Kunlun squinted his eyes, showing a sharp glint, as the Ghost King Ghost Spider was forbidden.

In the secular National Martial Arts Circle, Kunlun was only seen as an edge sect. Despite its long history, Kunlun never meddled in worldly affairs.

Located on Yan Country's plateau and surrounded by uninhabited lands, Kunlun became mysterious and unfathomable.

As a disciple of Kunlun, Mo Nan knew far more secrets, as Kunlun connects the Three Realms.

Kunlun itself is one of the Top Three Sects among the Three Sects Nine Sects Ten Families of the Ancient Martial World. He descended the mountain because his master foresaw something, sending him down to the world.

However, his master's instructions were vague, only saying that he would know when the time was right. Mo Nan was irked by his master's cryptic prophecies and annoying words.

No hints were given, only statements that he would know when it was time. If he never found out, would he never return his entire life?

Perhaps most people didn't see that moment, but for someone like Mo Nan, whose senses surpassed the common, that fleeting glance was enough.

No wonder Wang Jinkun suddenly became absurdly stronger; it was due to the Ghost Spider's possession, implying someone from the Ancient Martial World was meddling.

Mo Nan didn't relate it to Li Feng, only the presence of the Ghost Spider denoted that someone from the Ancient Martial World had broken the rules by entering the secular world, which was forbidden.

As the Kunlun Immortal Palace of the Ancient Martial Top Three Sects, it naturally bore the responsibility.

The motives of the person behind this were unknown, whether Wang Jinkun was an exception or one of many, and what their overall objective was.

Mo Nan contemplated a lot at once.

"Do you know that thing?"

Zhang Sanfeng looked at Mo Nan.

"Hey man, share what you know. We've gotten close these past few days, plus I saw it just now; what's on Wang Jinkun's back is definitely not something decent."

"Don't worry, what I hear stays with me, and maybe, if you tell me, I could lend you a hand."

Mo Nan rolled his eyes, but he knew this Zhang Sanfeng was persistent. The guy never stopped talking, and anything he was interested in, he pursued relentlessly.

"He's got a Gu King Ghost Spider, a very powerful parasite that, once possessed, forms a symbiotic relationship with the host. The host supplies sustenance to the spider, and in return, the spider greatly enhances the host's physical abilities, making them stronger."

"Likewise, the Ghost Spider is also a man-made parasite, so it can be controlled, meaning the host is actually a puppet."

"This is somewhat akin to the Miao Clan's Holy Daughter's witchcraft in the Southwest."

"Yes, but the Gu King Pill's power far exceeds that witchcraft. The creator of the pill was executed long ago, and the Gu King Pill he created was classified as forbidden. I never thought I'd encounter it today."

Mo Nan explained.

Zhang Sanfeng exclaimed with interest: "Hey, seems like fun is in store. I think Wang Jinkun hasn't had the Ghost Spider for long, probably just these past two days."

"Then, what's the intention of the one behind the scenes?"

"Ah, looks like the Ghost Spider will be exposed."

"Oh?"

Lin Wan'er made a sound and turned to look at her cousin.

"I just saw the Kunlun's Mo Nanfeng. This guy is a disciple of the Kunlun Immortal Palace of the Top Three Sects, unexpectedly incognito participating in this secular Martial Arts Tournament."

"Kunlun Immortal Palace's once-in-a-century genius, mastering sword control at just over twenty years of age, Sword Sect's Mo Nanfeng?"

Lin Wan'er naturally knew who Mo Nanfeng was. His reputation in the Ancient Martial World was significant—his genius status was legendary.

"I always insisted on taking direct action to eliminate Li Feng. You insisted on this roundabout way, and now trouble has arisen instead."

Lin Wan'er huffed. If the use of Forbidden Pills was discovered by the righteous and principled Kunlun Immortal Palace, it'd be no small issue; not even their family might protect them.

The young man took out his phone, sending a message to Xingyun.

"If those two die together, no one will discover anything, and I don't think anyone knows our true target is Li Feng."

The young man stated.

In the stands of the Grand Martial Arts Arena, upon receiving the message, Xingyun stood up and left his seat, heading to an empty room beneath the arena.

The room had a window facing the martial stage.

Xingyun lifted his eyes to the view outside. In the next second, his eyes rolled back, leaving only the whites, carrying a hint of enigma.
