Yuwen Xiong was thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention. He was about to defeat Gu Qingfeng in front of everyone, reclaiming his dignity.
With such a blatant act of favoritism, even the successor of the Immortal King is participating in the competition. What gives you the right not to?
What others dare not say, I will say! What others dare not do, I will do!
At that moment, a minister nearby spoke up with difficulty, "Young Master Yuwen, Lord Gu is the most honored guest of our Seven Stars Ancient Nation, and his strength is also plain for all to see..."
"Plain for all to see?" Yuwen Xiong snorted coldly. "If it's so plain, why doesn't he dare to enter the competition? If he wants to enter the Feixian Forbidden Zone, he'll have to ask me, Yuwen Xiong, for permission!"
"But... not long ago, weren't you defeated by Lord Gu using just a single finger..." The minister didn't finish his sentence, but the implication was crystal clear.
After all, he was a minister of the Seven Stars Ancient Nation and naturally understood Gu Qingfeng's status in the eyes of his own monarch.
Although the Chongming Clan was not to be offended lightly, a few veiled barbs were perfectly acceptable.
Yuwen Xiong's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
The surrounding onlookers timely let out several snickers, whispering and discussing among themselves.
Seeing the people's suppressed laughter, Yuwen Xiong felt his face burning with shame. He angrily retorted, "That was on the street! I was afraid of harming innocent bystanders, so I didn't use my full strength. Otherwise, someone like him would be no match for me!"
His explanation only made things worse. The murmurs around him grew louder, even accompanied by waves of jeers.
Yuwen Xiong's face flushed red and then pale. He suddenly roared, "Gu Qingfeng! You want to enter the Feixian Forbidden Zone without participating in the martial contest? What kind of hero are you? If you have any guts, come out and fight me!"
His voice rumbled like thunder, rolling out in all directions.
......
"Someone seems to be calling you..." Gu Ling'er said, her pretty face flushed red.
Gu Qingfeng paid her no mind.
"Can you... stop for a moment and go see what's happening?"
"Be quiet."
"But... but..."
"No buts."
.......
At the Seven Stars Dharma Assembly, Yuwen Xiong stood high on the ritual platform, shouting and roaring like a fool, yet no one paid him any attention.
Growing increasingly furious, he began to yell even louder.
"Gu Qingfeng, you cowardly turtle, you..."
BOOM!
Before anyone could react, a streak of demonic light descended from the sky, landing on the ritual platform. It directly created an enormous crater, sending dust and debris flying everywhere.
Yuwen Xiong's voice was abruptly cut off.
A breeze blew, slightly dispersing the dust to reveal a figure of extraordinary grace and handsome bearing.
Upon seeing this figure, the crowd erupted, as if beholding their idol.
"It's the Heavenly Tribulation Emperor!"
"Lord Gu!"
"To finally see him in person today!"
Gu Qingfeng ignored them. With a disdainful sweep of his eyes, he scanned the surroundings. "Who was the dog barking just now?"
He looked around but didn't see anyone. Then, glancing into the massive crater behind him, he saw the pitiful, bloodied figure of Yuwen Xiong embedded in the pit. A look of understanding dawned on his face. "Isn't this the little brat from the Yuwen family? Haven't seen you in a few days, fallen on hard times?"
As the saying goes, enemies see red upon meeting. Yuwen Xiong violently flew out of the crater. Under a flash of immortal light, his wretched appearance instantly restored itself. His fierce eyes glared death at Gu Qingfeng.
"Gu Qingfeng! You bastard, you actually ambushed me!"
"Oh, so it was you doing the dog barking."
"Hmph! Gu Qingfeng, you didn't participate in the competition, yet you seized a spot to enter the Feixian Forbidden Zone. What right do you have? I refuse to accept this! Unless you defeat me, don't even think about entering the Feixian Forbidden Zone!"
Gu Qingfeng was directly amused to laughter. "Since when do my actions require your approval? As for the right?"
He turned to address everyone present. "You tell me, do I have the right or not?"
"YES!!"
"If Lord Gu doesn't have the right, then no one in this world does!"
The crowd's voices roared like a tidal wave, echoing across the entire grounds.
Yuwen Xiong's face instantly turned ugly, somewhat flustered and exasperated. "They only say that because they want you to help them transcend their tribulations! That doesn't count!"
Gu Qingfeng sneered. "If you have the skill, you go help people transcend their tribulations. No one's stopping you."
Transcend your mother!
Yuwen Xiong was frantic. He couldn't win the argument, the onlookers were all mindlessly taking sides, offering no advantage in public opinion. The only option left was to fight.
"Enough with the empty talk! If you want to enter the Feixian Forbidden Zone, you'll have to get past me first!"
Yuwen Xiong directly swung his palm, chopping towards Gu Qingfeng like a blade.
BOOM!
The palm wind was like a blade, carrying dazzling immortal light, resembling a heavenly saber cleaving through the air, shaking heaven and earth.
That terrifying strike could easily slay an ordinary peak Golden Immortal.
Clearly, Yuwen Xiong knew Gu Qingfeng's strength and immediately attacked with his full power.
Faced with this move, Gu Qingfeng merely shook his head slightly. The current him had long since ceased to need weaklings like Yuwen Xiong to provide attributes.
Since gaining the ability to cultivate, his power had skyrocketed. Especially his right hand, which had transformed into a True Immortal physique, was utterly indestructible. Therefore, facing this strike, Gu Qingfeng casually threw a punch.
BOOM——!
The fist imprint was supremely sinister and evil, dark and deep like blood, resembling an inverted river of blood, stirring up a foul wind and a rain of gore. It made him appear like a demon god striding out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, his demonic aura soaring to the heavens.
The fist imprint met the palm blade. The two collided, immortal radiance splashing and flames of light erupting everywhere.
The next moment.
CRACK!!
The palm blade shattered with a sound. Yuwen Xiong's expression changed drastically, feeling an excruciating pain shoot from his hand.
However, the remaining force of Gu Qingfeng's punch was undiminished, seemingly able to shatter anything in its path. It proceeded to snap Yuwen Xiong's entire arm, piece by piece.
"Ah!"
Yuwen Xiong screamed in agony, his body rapidly retreating to put distance between them.
He had originally intended to test the waters first, weaken his opponent, and then unleash his trump card. Who would have thought Gu Qingfeng's punch would be so terrifyingly powerful?
He could no longer afford to test. If he didn't use his trump card now, there would be no fight left.
"Gu Qingfeng! I admit you are strong, but under the gaze of these eyes of mine, no amount of strength will be of any use!" Yuwen Xiong roared.
Hearing these words, Gu Qingfeng finally showed a slight flicker of interest. He knew the greatest strength of the Chongming Clan lay in their Double Pupils.
Immediately after, Yuwen Xiong let out a great roar, then violently extended two fingers, stabbing them fiercely towards his own Double Pupils.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
