"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.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
