From Battle Through the Heavens Simulation to The Great Ruler

"Restore the country?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Isn't restoring the country just a form of rebellion?

That's a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family!

Even if people in the martial arts world don't care much about the government, not many dare to get involved in rebellion.

"What...what nonsense are you spouting? What restoration of the kingdom? How dare you smear my young master? You're courting death!!!"

Bao Butong was the first to come to his senses and immediately pounced on Xiao Fengfei, throwing a punch at his head, intending to kill him to silence him.

Although Bao Butong couldn't quite understand how Xiao Feng knew the Murong family was going to rebel, when faced with a problem that couldn't be solved, eliminating the person who raised the problem was not a bad idea!

Looking at Bao Butong, who wanted to kill him to silence him, Xiao Feng's eyes flashed with disdain, and his right hand swung out with lightning speed.

"Roar!!!"

With a deep lion's roar, a phantom blue lion's head faintly appeared in Xiao Feng's palm and slammed it hard onto Bao Butong's fist.

The moment their fists and palms collided, Bao Butong's expression changed drastically. He felt a violent force strike him, and he was forced to retreat several steps uncontrollably, leaving several clearly visible footprints on the ground.

Everyone present looked surprised upon seeing this.

Bao Butong had just fought with the Beggars' Sect members. Although he wasn't a top-tier martial arts master, he was able to hold his own against the Beggars' Sect elders.

As a result, Bao Butong couldn't even withstand a single palm strike from Xiao Feng. Could it be that this person's strength is already comparable to that of a top martial arts master?

How can this be?

After all, Xiao Feng is only about fifteen or sixteen years old. Even if he started cultivating from the womb, he couldn't possibly have such profound internal strength, right?

What the crowd didn't know was that Xiao Feng appeared calm and collected on the surface, but in reality, his entire right arm was numb, and he was just barely holding on.

Although the internal energy cultivated by a martial artist like Bao Butong is certainly not as good as the battle qi cultivated by Xiao Feng, he has cultivated it for a long time!

With decades of refined internal energy, the power unleashed by Bao Butong's punch just now was roughly equivalent to the full-force strike of a four- or five-star Dou Zhe.

Although Bao Butong was knocked back several steps by Xiao Feng's palm strike and seemed to be at a disadvantage, he actually took the opportunity to deflect most of Xiao Feng's palm force during the retreat, and only suffered minor superficial injuries.

While Xiao Feng stood still, appearing quite dashing, his right arm was actually sore and numb, and he had suffered a serious internal injury.

If it weren't for Xiao Feng's amazing recovery ability, he probably would have needed at least half a month to recover.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Xiao Feng is really no match for Bao Butong. He could easily use Phantom Step to dodge Bao Butong's full-force attack and then use Storm Dance to instantly kill Bao Butong.

Xiao Feng chose to confront Bao Butong head-on simply because he wanted to take the opportunity to understand the strength level of martial artists in this world!

Bao Butong was only considered a second-rate master in the martial arts world, but his strength was comparable to that of a four- or five-star fighter.

So, top-tier experts like Murong Fu and Duan Yanqing must have at least reached the level of a seven-star Dou Zhe or higher.

Top masters like Qiao Feng and Tianshan Tonglao are likely comparable to Dou Shi level experts.

As for the "Sweeping Monk," who is considered the strongest character in the original work, his strength should have reached the level of a high-star Dou Shi, or even a great Dou Shi.

"Good lad, I'll take you on!"

Just as everyone was amazed by Xiao Feng's acting skills, Feng Bo'e, who loved fighting the most, was overjoyed and immediately raised his single-edged sword and pounced on him.

To everyone's disbelief, Xiao Feng, who had just displayed great power, offered no resistance whatsoever and was cleaved in two by Feng Bo'e's blade.

"boom!!!"

Before the shock on everyone's faces could fade, Xiao Feng, who had been split in two, suddenly exploded, transforming into countless wind blades as thick as a thumb, which shot out in all directions.

"Dangdangdang..."

Feng Bo'e had not expected such a turn of events, and could only swing his sword as fast as he could to defend himself, barely managing to block several wind blades that were aimed at his vital points.

The remaining dozens of wind blades left dozens of bloody wounds on Feng Bo'e's limbs and body.

At this moment, Feng Bo'e was in a particularly disheveled state, and with his tattered clothes, he looked even more like a beggar than a member of the Beggars' Sect.

Feng Bo'e, who was nearly killed by the wind blade, ignored his injuries and glared fiercely at Xiao Feng, who was several feet away. He shouted angrily, "What kind of evil martial art is this? If you have the guts, come and fight me head-on!"

"Noisy!"

Xiao Feng impatiently raised his hand and waved it, and a half-meter-long cyan wind blade appeared out of thin air and shot towards Feng Bo'e, whose expression had suddenly changed.

Chapter 22 The Terrifying Honey Trap

"when!"

Sensing a deadly threat, Feng Bo'e instinctively tried to block the wind blade with his single-edged sword, but the moment they touched, the sword was sliced ​​in two by the wind blade.

"hold head high--"

Just as Feng Bo'e was about to be cleaved in two by the cyan wind blade, a high-pitched dragon roar suddenly rang out, followed by a somewhat illusory golden dragon shadow that appeared out of thin air and forcefully blasted the cyan wind blade apart.

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, turned to look at Qiao Feng who had stepped in to save the man, and said with displeasure, "Chief Qiao, what is the meaning of this?"

"Please forgive me, Young Master Xiao, but what you just said is too shocking. I cannot conclude that the Murong family intends to rebel based on your one-sided account."

Qiao Feng first cupped his hands to Xiao Feng, and then said with a hint of probing, "Moreover, our Beggar Clan's Vice Chief Ma died not long ago from his own signature move, and some people already suspect that it was done by Young Master Murong."

If we allow another member of the Murong family to die here today, then regardless of whether Vice Chief Ma was killed by Young Master Murong, our Beggars' Sect will have an irreconcilable feud with the Murong family.

If there really is some misunderstanding, wouldn't that play right into some people's hands?

"..."

Xiao Feng was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and said, "So Chief Qiao suspects me of having ulterior motives?"

"Please forgive me, Young Master Xiao, but the timing of your appearance was just too coincidental, leaving me no choice but to overthink it."

It's no wonder Qiao Feng suspected Xiao Feng; given the strength he just displayed, he couldn't possibly be unknown in the martial arts world.

Unless Xiao Feng had never been in the martial arts world before, given the Beggars' Sect's intelligence network, it was impossible that they hadn't heard of his name and reputation.

In addition, Xiao Feng's timing was inappropriate. It was just when the Beggars' Sect's Deputy Leader Ma was killed and was preparing to seek an explanation from the Murong family, when he suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Therefore, Qiao Feng had reason to suspect that Xiao Feng was plotting something and wanted to deliberately sow discord between the Beggars' Sect and the Murong family.

Given the status of the Beggars' Sect and the Murong family in the martial arts world, if the two sides were to actually fight a war, the entire martial arts world would be thrown into turmoil, and many ambitious people would take the opportunity to rise to power.

Looking at Qiao Feng's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Xiao Feng shook his head with a hint of amusement and said, "Chief Qiao, you are quite competent as the leader of the Beggars' Clan. It's just a pity that your Beggars' Clan disciples are busy plotting to overthrow you!"

"Bullshit! How could we possibly betray our leader?"

"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?"

"This person is definitely trying to sow discord and plot something sinister..."

Upon hearing this, the Beggars' Sect disciples present immediately launched into a tirade of curses.

If it weren't for their fear of Xiao Feng's displayed strength, some Beggar Clan disciples probably wouldn't have been able to resist attacking him.

"Chief Qiao, if you don't believe me, you might as well ask the four Beggar Clan elders present."

Xiao Feng ignored the agitated Beggar Clan disciples and instead addressed the angry Qiao Feng, saying, "Ask them if they believed Quan Guanqing's lies that you colluded with Murong Fu to kill Ma Dayuan and are planning to join forces to take you down today and remove you from your position as Beggar Clan leader?"

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Qiao Feng abruptly turned to look at the four elders. Noticing their somewhat guilty expressions, he couldn't help but angrily retort, "Could it be that in the eyes of the four elders, I, Qiao Feng, am such a despicable person who would harm my own brothers?"

"This this……"

Faced with Qiao Feng's questioning, the four elders were like ants on a hot pan, anxious to explain but not knowing how to do so.

"Alright! Chief Qiao, you don't need to press them for answers."

Xiao Feng suddenly spoke again: "The masterminds behind this are Quan Guanqing and Kang Min. They are just fools who were used as pawns!"

"Kang Min?"

Qiao Feng's expression changed slightly, and he frowned deeply, asking, "Young Master Xiao, what does this have to do with your wife?"

"The reason you suspect that Murong Fu killed Ma Dayuan is precisely because he died from his own signature move, the throat-locking grappling technique, isn't it?"

Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "But what you don't know is that Ma Dayuan was drugged by Kang Min and was completely unable to move when Bai Shijing crushed his neck so that he could frame Murong Fu for it."

"Impossible! Elder Bai is the enforcement elder of the Beggars' Sect, and he has always been impartial and incorruptible."

Qiao Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he retorted without thinking, "Besides, he has no grudge against Deputy Chief Ma, so how could he possibly kill Deputy Chief Ma?"

It should be noted that Qiao Feng's favorite thing to do was to become sworn brothers with others, and Bai Shijing was one of his sworn brothers. Of course, he was unwilling to believe that Bai Shijing was such a person.

"As the saying goes, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Although Kang Min is a fallen woman, she is still a rare beauty."

Xiao Feng stopped mid-sentence and pointed at the Beggars' Sect disciples present, asking, "Everyone, ask yourselves honestly, when you saw Kang Min, did any of you secretly steal a few glances at her?"

If Kang Min uses her beauty to seduce you, how many of you will be able to resist?

"When the time comes, all she needs to do is orchestrate a situation where Deputy Gang Leader Ma discovers your affair with a woman. Will you choose to commit suicide to atone for your sins, or will you conspire with that vicious woman to kill Deputy Gang Leader Ma and silence him?"

"..."

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, everyone exchanged glances, their faces revealing a mixture of guilt and lingering fear.

Although no one wanted to admit it, when they recalled Kang Min's seductive and alluring appearance, very few people dared to guarantee that they could resist her seductive tactics.

"If Chief Qiao still refuses to believe it, I can let you see for yourself just how terrifying a honey trap can be!"

A hint of mockery flashed in Xiao Feng's eyes. He turned to Duan Yu, who was not far away, and asked, "Young Master Duan, if Murong Fu were killed by the Beggars' Sect, and Miss Wang offered herself to him in exchange for your help in killing Chief Qiao, would you agree?"

"Of course I..."

Upon hearing this, Duan Yu instinctively wanted to say no.

But when Duan Yu saw Wang Yuyan's pretty face, he seemed to be bewitched, and the words that were on the tip of his tongue just wouldn't come out.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng was not surprised at all. Instead, he smiled at Qiao Feng, who was as calm as still water, and said, "Chief Qiao, now you should understand how terrifying a honey trap can be, right?"

Qiao Feng hadn't expected his newly sworn brother to be so despicable, but this also made him somewhat believe Xiao Feng's words; Bai Shijing was probably a honey trap.

"Young Master Xiao, there is still one thing I do not understand."

Qiao Feng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xiao Feng and said, "I have no grudge against my sister-in-law... that poisonous woman Kang Min, why would she want to harm me like this?"
