"Take my own life?" White Bone Master laughed in extreme anger. "Do you know who you're talking to? I am the chief of the four guardians of the Blood Demon Cult, the strongest below the Innate Realm Master!"
"And who do you think you are? There should be a limit to your ignorance!"
With these words, White Bone Master struck in anger. He extended his right palm, concentrating his tough qi within it. The air within a ten-meter radius seemed to be instantly sucked away. In his palm, a terrifying vortex of energy spun rapidly, filled with suppressed power.
Then he struck with his palm!
This anger-fueled palm strike was truly earth-shattering!
Suddenly, it was as if a fierce wave of energy exploded from nowhere, with force like collapsing earth and falling rocks, evil waves filling the sky, its power shaking all directions.
The might of this palm strike caused everyone's expressions to change drastically, as if the sky was falling.
This was the first time everyone had seen White Bone Master strike with full force. His status as the strongest in the Tough Qi Realm below the master level wasn't just empty talk.
Elder Xing, who was also at the Tough Qi Realm, couldn't help but tremble at seeing this palm strike, for it had nearly reached the realm of a master. It became clear that when White Bone Master had fought him earlier, he hadn't been using his full power, but merely toying with him.
How would Gu Qingfeng respond to such a powerful strike? Could he really block it?
Everyone's hearts were suspended in anticipation, for Gu Qingfeng was now their only hope. If he fell, they would all die!
Gu Qingfeng, who stood at the center of the palm wind's storm, remained calm with his hands behind his back, showing no movement at all, as if completely ignoring the strike.
The ferocity in White Bone Master's eyes grew more apparent. He couldn't gauge Gu Qingfeng's true ability, but given his opponent's confident attitude, he must have something to rely on. Therefore, he attacked with full force from the start, holding nothing back.
At his level, he understood well the principle that even an eagle uses its full strength to catch a rabbit.
Seeing Gu Qingfeng's arrogant stance, neither dodging nor evading but choosing to take the hit head-on, he couldn't help but laugh coldly inside.
This palm strike contained decades of power - how could you possibly withstand it?
Even an Innate Realm Master wouldn't dare to take this strike without any defense!
The next moment!
The terrifying qi-laden palm wind struck Gu Qingfeng's body like a missile!
BOOM!!!
An earth-shaking explosion rocked the heavens and earth, tearing through the night sky!
Like a bomb explosion, with Gu Qingfeng at its center, earth and rocks flew everywhere, dust rising several meters high!
Gu Qingfeng's figure was completely buried in the dust.
"Hehehe..." White Bone Master's eerie laughter echoed across the field.
"No one, no one can take this without any defense..."
"Had enough?"
Suddenly, a calm voice emerged from the dust.
White Bone Master's laughter stopped abruptly, as if he were a duck being choked.
His expression changed drastically, looking at what was before him with utter disbelief, as if he'd seen a ghost.
As a mountain breeze blew, dispersing the dust, a figure stood there, emanating an almost solid golden light.
That figure was looking at White Bone Master with a composed smile.
Within a ten-meter radius around him, the ground had collapsed nearly thirty feet deep, littered with corpses and bones.
Those were White Bone Master's zombies.
And the unfaltering figure was none other than Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng walked out from among the corpses and bones, and under everyone's shocked gazes, slowly spoke: "Is that all you've got?"
His tone was calm, but carried a hint of disappointment.
"Impossible!!!" White Bone Master roared madly, for the scene before him severely challenged his worldview. After decades of bitter cultivation, even willingly becoming a demon in pursuit of power, now when he thought he had obtained great strength, his full-force strike was nothing but a joke before this young man.
"Who exactly are you?!" White Bone Master roared frantically.
He might not have noticed that his voice now carried a trace of fear.
"Me?" Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly: "Let me introduce myself. I'm Gu Qingfeng, a trainee Demon Eliminator from the Demon Suppression Bureau of Wutong Prefecture."
Silence!
The scene fell into an eerie quiet once again.
These were the same words Gu Qingfeng had spoken twice, but the effect they produced was entirely different.
The first time had earned eye rolls and mockery, but this second time, no one dared to look down on the title of trainee Demon Eliminator.
Si Wei couldn't help but look questioningly at the Head Guard, as if asking with her eyes: "Didn't you say trainee Demon Eliminators were weak?"
The Head Guard was too shocked to speak.
How could someone with this level of power be a trainee Demon Eliminator!? He must be a Heaven-rank Demon Eliminator!
"What nonsense, you think you've won?" White Bone Master roared again, believing Gu Qingfeng was deliberately mocking him.
"Innate Realm Master? So what? Today I'll destroy a master!"
White Bone Master now regarded Gu Qingfeng as an Innate Realm Master, as there was no other way to explain how he could emerge unscathed from his full-power strike.
In his view, Gu Qingfeng must be an old monster with a youthful appearance due to some age-preserving technique, definitely an Innate Realm Master, and surely one of the strongest among them. Nothing else made sense.
In fact, not just White Bone Master, everyone present thought the same, except for Si Wei, who knew nothing of martial arts.
Hearing White Bone Master's words, Gu Qingfeng became excited - did this mean he had more tricks up his sleeve?
White Bone Master's full-power strike had just increased Gu Qingfeng's defense by +100+100+100... Now he clearly felt that his defense had once again reached some kind of limit.
Just like when he first broke through his limits to gain Bronze Skin Iron Bones, and when he was attacked by zombies to gain the Diamond Body, it was happening again. He just needed one final push - perhaps just one more point of defense would break through the boundary for another advancement!
So Gu Qingfeng eagerly anticipated White Bone Master's trump card.
"Go ahead and use whatever techniques you have. I hope you can make this more enjoyable for me."
"Fine! You forced me to this!" White Bone Master suddenly shouted: "White Bone Demon Fire!"
With his command, a bone-white flame suddenly appeared in White Bone Master's hand!
The flame was extraordinarily sinister, as pale as bone throughout, with a grinning skull seemingly laughing wickedly within it.
As soon as this fire appeared, everyone felt a wave of heat assault them, and the surrounding temperature rose by dozens of degrees!
White Bone Master's figure, illuminated by the flames, appeared strangely distorted.
For the sake of his unrequited love, his ex-girlfriend abandoned him at the altar, indirectly causing the death of his parents. Just when he thought his life was plunged into darkness, a clueless yet beautiful girl unexpectedly took him in. Looking back, he realized how many hidden gems had always been by his side. A childhood friend who had secretly loved him for over a decade, a stunning but socially clueless school beauty, a mischievous and playful girl who lived for chaos... His ex, filled with regret, pleaded: "I was wrong—can we go back to how things were?" Before he could respond, the girl stepped in front of Ye Shuang and coldly declared, "If you didn’t cherish him, then he’s mine now." Also known as: "After Losing My Job, I Was Picked Up by a Hidden Gem," "The School Beauty I Raised," and "Oh No, I’m Surrounded by Rich Girls."
