At this moment, Zheng-Fu's cultivation level had already reached the fourth level of the Immortal stage. A martial cultivator below the fifth level was no longer his opponent. Even the black-robed man who had mobilized dark Qi energy until his level had risen to the fourth level of the Immortal stage could not be equated with him.

"Ha ha ha! Now, no one can stand in my way anymore!" The black-robed man thought that Zheng-Fu was dead, so he made a furious announcement. His sly gaze swept over everyone who was hiding, including both young women, the cheating-looking young man, and those who had been his underlings.

When everyone around him heard him say that, their faces became visibly pale, because, at this moment, there was no one who had the energy level strong enough to deal with him at all. Even Jin-Tian was unable to defeat him, although it had the same cultivation level as he did. However, Jin-Tian also suffered a serious leg injury, making it unable to fight at its full potential.

If it actually entered into a fight, it might even be able to defeat the black-robed man, but it might even die as well. This was what it already thought; it would sacrifice its life to fight to the death against the man who killed its master. Dong-Kuang and the Ten Young Demigods Squad also thought they would invade and fight, exchanging their lives with the black-robed man.

But at that moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"Will it be true as you said!?"

"Huh...!?"

"Young Master!!!"

"Master!!!"

"Son!!!"

"Young Master Zheng-Fu!!!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison, even though they were still not sure if it was him or not. And when the floating smoke faded, all they could see was the golden bell that was revolving around Zheng-Fu's figure, but they were unable to sense him, despite seeing him still there.

"Im...impossible!!!" The black-robed man shouted in disbelief in his eyes when he saw that Zheng-Fu was not dead yet and was still in perfect condition.

Whirrrl!!!

Argh!!!!!

Zheng-Fu suddenly dissipated his Golden Bell Armor Qi, along with releasing the pressure of his true energy level, sending it to press on the black-robed man's body. When the black-robed man was subjected to the intense pressure of Zheng-Fu, his body sank to the ground with a huge gulp of blood.

"Fou...fourth level of... of Immortal stage!? B...but...but why is the pressure so strong!?" The black-robed man was stunned. He did not know why Zheng-Fu's cultivation was only at the fourth level of the Immortal stage like him, but the pressure and density of energy were so intense. It was much more intense than the fourth level of the Immortal stage.

Whoosh!!!

Zing!!!

Aaaaah!!!

Zheng-Fu did not reply. He contracted his finger to mobilize energy and shot it out into the man's right arm. His arm was instantly cut off, along with a loud scream of so much pain that it was hard to describe.

Whoosh!!!

Slash!!!

Aaaaaah!!!!

And before he could recover from the pain or do anything else, another wave of energy was emitted and shot towards his left arm, instantly cutting it off. And as his left arm was cut, the pain intensified. His scream grew louder and louder, and people in a radius of several hundred meters could hear it.

"Do you know at what point you went wrong?" At that moment, Zheng-Fu had already appeared in front of the black-robed man with a questioning voice, without anyone noticing.

"Damn it! You deserve to die and let the worms eat you!!!" the black-robed man shouted with the most hatred. But he was unable to do anything to Zheng-Fu or anyone right now because he was not only suppressed by the pressure but both of his arms were also severed.

"Your mistake is that you use dark Qi energy to deal with me. If the ball was not dark Qi energy but normal Qi energy, it might have caused me serious injury. Unfortunately, it's not like that... Anyway, I have to thank you. I was able to advance to the next two levels at the same time with that savage ball." Zheng-Fu lowered his head beside the man's ear and spoke in a very low voice.

It was so low that only he and the black-robed man could hear the conversation.

"What… what are you talking about!!?" The black-robed man had a dazed look. He really did not understand what Zheng-Fu was talking about. What did Zheng-Fu absorb from his savage ball?

"You don't need to understand that... Let's just say it's now time for you to say goodbye to your being a cultivator!"

Thump!!!

Argh!!!

Finished speaking, Zheng-Fu slammed his fist that contained profound energy into his stomach, which was the Dantian, or his energy realm. And the punch that hit him had shattered his energy realm. This was called 'breaking the cultivation.' And once the cultivation was ruined, he was no different from a very weak ordinary person.

Thump!!!

Aaaaaah!!!!!

"What… what happened?" Lao-Ying-Ba, who was standing in the distance looking worriedly, asked.

"I don't know, but it's probably over because that black-robed man's cultivation has been ruined!" Elder Yan, who was standing beside him, also worried, explained as he knew.

Ruin the cultivation!?

Everyone who heard Elder Yan's words had an extremely shocked expression on their faces since they knew very well what would happen if the cultivation was ruined. If lucky, one might return to cultivating as a martial cultivator again. But if he was unfortunate, he would be crippled and unable to become a martial cultivator again.

"City Lord, please, I entrust you to deal with him!" Suddenly, Zheng-Fu shouted, telling Lao-Ying-Ba to deal with the black-robed man on his behalf because he had to go to look after Jin-Tian's condition as it was seriously injured.

"Alright!!!"

As for Lao-Ying-Ba, after responding willingly, he, Commander Lu-Su, and the troops immediately headed towards the black-robed man who was squirming to have the soldiers arrest him.

Thump!!!

Huff!!!

As soon as Zheng-Fu appeared next to the injured Jin-Tian, it let out a soft groan and glared at him, trying to move closer to him, but Zheng-Fu raised his hand to stop it. He took out a body-healing pill and threw it into its mouth.

Gulp!!

Whirrl!!!

When the pill entered Jin-Tian's mouth and flowed down his throat, it immediately took effect. The previously large and deep wounds had quickly been cured. And soon, all its wounds had completely healed, as if nothing had happened before.

Flop!!

Mlem Mlem!

"Don't! I'm all wet, can you see!?" Zheng-Fu immediately pushed his giant meow's head away. Since it was healed, it came over and licked his face. Then Zheng-Fu said, "Okay, let's go. Everyone has been waiting." Finishing his words, Zheng-Fu used his energy, causing Jin-Tian's saliva to evaporate, and then he walked towards his clan.

Thump, thump, thump!!!

"Zheng-Fu, my son!"

When Kong-Shi saw his son walk in, he called his name and walked slowly towards him before continuing, "Are you alright?" with a warm concern on his face.

"I'm fine, Father... You see, my arms, legs, and head are all still in place!!!" Zheng-Fu casually teased his father. His actions made the surroundings that had been previously unspeakably uncomfortable much better.

"Ha ha ha! You are getting better and better day by day, Brother Zheng-Fu!!" Hai-Gang, who stood beside his father, teased Zheng-Fu while walking towards him and patting him on the shoulder warmly and gently.

"Brother Hai-Gang, you admire me too much. I'm not that good," Zheng-Fu said, raising his hand to scratch his head and grinning embarrassedly. But after a while, his face turned serious again, and he continued, "But now, we should detoxify everyone first; otherwise, they would all die." Zheng-Fu said, pointing his finger at the groaning people.

"That's right! But where are we going to find so many antidotes that can cure all of them?" Hai-Gu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"For that matter, I can handle it, but I need to use a lot of water. And the water must be very pure too," Zheng-Fu said, tightly frowning.

"Leave this responsibility to me!" Suddenly, Lao-Ying-Ba's voice rang out as he walked towards them with Commander Lu-Su and the soldiers holding the black-robed man behind them.

...!!!?

"As for the pure water you need, behind my family's mansion lies a small pond with very pure water, which should be as much as you want," Lao-Ying-Ba hurriedly explained when he saw Zheng-Fu's puzzled look.

"Oh… so that's great. City Lord, can you take me there?" Zheng-Fu asked with a friendly smile.

"I must apologize to you that I cannot take you right now. But... my daughter can take you. She will guide you to that pond," Lao-Ying-Ba denied that he was unable to take him there.

Instead, he threw this errand into his daughter's duty to be the one to take Zheng-Fu to that pond with a sly smile before turning to his daughter, who was peeking at him with a shy expression in the corner of the pillar, and saying, "Su-Su!"

"Ye...yes...yes, sir,...Father," Su-Su heard her father's call, and she immediately flinched before answering, stuttering.

"Could you take Young Master Zheng-Fu to the pond behind our family manor?" said Lao-Ying-Ba with a meaningful smile at his daughter.

"Ye...yes…, sir, father!" the girl replied, embarrassingly lowering her head.

As for the others who saw the City Lord's action, they immediately knew what he wanted to do. It was very easy to guess, but no one said anything. They just put a smile on their faces. Zheng-Fu also knew what Lao-Ying-Ba wanted to convey by having his daughter take him instead. But he did not deny it or say anything because, right now, people's lives were the most important matter.

"Then, Miss Su-Su, please guide me!" Zheng-Fu turned to Su-Su and said politely and humbly. His handsome face, plus his long, sleek black hair, made him look even better. And that caused Su-Su, who was staring at him, to instantly heat up in her face, her heart pounding.

"Ye...yes..., sir. The...then... Master Zhe… Zheng-Fu, ple...please follow me," Su-Su immediately walked in front of him without waiting for Zheng-Fu or caring for anything else.
