Chapter 354 You're Nobody [5k words, first update]

Xu Feng hooked Lei Bao's corpse with one foot and flung it towards Lei Jue Peak Master, laughing loudly, "Give him a proper burial! Hahahaha!"

Lei Fei's eyes blazed with fury, and lightning surged around his body, almost causing him to erupt on the spot!

"Lei Fei." Youquan's voice came coldly.

Lei Fei shuddered, suppressing his anger, and ordered his men to collect Lei Bao's corpse before gritting his teeth and sitting down.

Xu Feng stopped looking at him, turned to face Youquan and Lingfeng, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your Excellency, this battle is over. Does the Seventh Peak still belong to my command?"

Youquan gave him a deep look and slowly nodded: "Naturally, from this day forward, you are the Seventh Peak Master, and no one can question you anymore."

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

Xu Feng bowed and nodded slightly to Qing Xuan before leaping off the life-or-death arena.

Just as they were about to return to the Seventh Peak, Lei Fei's voice came from behind them.

"Peak Master Jinmu, please wait."

The people who were originally planning to leave all turned their heads to look in this direction.

Xu Feng turned around and looked at Lei Fei, who was walking slowly towards him. He was wary, but on the surface he smiled arrogantly and said, "What instructions does Peak Master Lei Jue have for me?"

Lei Fei walked up to him, scrutinizing him with deep eyes, and suddenly said, "Jinmu, you are strong and ambitious, which is a good thing."

He paused, then lowered his voice: "But you must remember, the waters of Little Green Sky Mountain are deeper than you imagine."

The red pheasant is dead. Qingxuan has high hopes for you, but that doesn't mean you can rest easy.

Xu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly: "I don't understand what Peak Master means."

Lei Fei smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm just reminding you that being too sharp is easy to break."

A glint of lightning flashed in his eyes: "If I discover you have any disloyal intentions—you will die a more gruesome death than the red pheasant."

Xu Feng stood still, his eyes cold as he smiled and said, "Lei Fei—are you giving me a warning or a reprimand?"

If you have any complaints about me, just say so!

If you suspect I'm a traitor, come and kill me now!

Why be as despicable and vile as those humans! Always resorting to underhanded tactics behind people's backs!

What kind of number one peak master are you?! In my eyes, you're just a ball!!!

Swish!

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Everyone stared at Xu Feng in disbelief, including Lei Fei.

madman!

This Kaneki is absolutely insane!

How dare they publicly insult Lei Fei, the First Peak Master—a top expert who is only half a step away from the Star God Realm and could break through at any time!

They even used highly insulting terms like "filthy and despicable" and "like humans"!

This is a complete breakdown of relations, leaving no room for compromise!

On the high platform, Youquan and Lingfeng frowned simultaneously.

Qingxuan's expression changed slightly.

Lei Fei stood still, the lightning around him initially flickering, then fluctuating violently, and finally coming to a sudden stop.

He slowly raised his head, and on his resolute face, there was no anger, only an extreme coldness.

But everyone could sense that beneath that cold exterior lay a volcano about to erupt!

"What did you say?"

Lei Fei's voice was very soft, yet it was like an icy blade in the dead of winter, scraping against everyone's eardrums.

Xu Feng's lips curled into a mocking smile: "If you doubt me, either produce evidence or kill me right now."

He stepped forward, his eyes like knives piercing Lei Fei: "But if you can't produce any evidence, and you're too cowardly to act, resorting only to underhanded tactics like a rat in a gutter, then in my eyes you're not even worth a ball!"

"Kaneki," Yuuki's voice was icy, "watch your words."

"You're asking for it!"

Lei Fei spoke slowly and deliberately, and lightning erupted from his body!

Rumble—!!!

The entire Tian Shu Peak was trembling!

The thunderclouds in the sky churned wildly, and countless thick purple lightning bolts struck down.

Instead of striking the ground, it seemed to be drawn towards Lei Fei!

In the blink of an eye, Lei Fei transformed into a colossal god, ten feet tall, formed entirely of lightning!

The colossus's eyes, like pools of lightning, gazed down at the minuscule Xu Feng, its voice booming like thunder: "Jin Mu, do you really think that with Qing Xuan and the envoy protecting you, I wouldn't dare kill you?!"

The terrifying pressure pressed down as if it were a physical force, causing the runic light shield around the life-and-death arena to tremble violently and emit a mournful cry of being unable to bear the burden!

The guests and stewards watching from below the stage turned pale and retreated one after another.

This is the true strength of the First Peak Master.

He was only half a step away from becoming a Star God, and he could summon the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth to use for his own purposes, his power comparable to the might of the heavens!

Xu Feng laughed loudly, his face full of arrogance: "Hahaha!! Come on! Kill me!"

On the high platform, Youquan's face darkened: "Lei Fei!"

Lei Fei froze, taking a deep breath.

However, Xu Feng seemed not to hear him, still staring at Lei Fei with undisguised mockery in his eyes: "What? Didn't Peak Master Lei Jue want to reprimand or warn me?"

Am I just going along with what you want and being straightforward?

"Does Peak Master Lei Jue really enjoy listening to those empty, polite words? What's the difference between you and those other humans?"

He paused, then his voice suddenly turned stern: "I, Jinmu, have always acted with integrity and uprightness!"

I remember those who are good to me! I will kill those who try to harm me!

What does it matter if the water is deep or shallow, or if one's sharpness is easily broken? If I were afraid of these things, I wouldn't be standing on this stage of life and death!

"Lei Fei, let me tell you, I, Jin Mu, have survived to this day not because of anyone's protection or appreciation."

It's the knife in my hand, the blood on my body! If you suspect I'm a traitor, produce the evidence now and kill me in public!

If you have no evidence, stop making sarcastic remarks and making a fool of yourself! You're just as stupid as an idiot!

"you--!"

Lei Fei's body surged with lightning, and his terrifying Star God Realm aura erupted, causing the entire Life and Death Arena to tremble!

He was truly intent on killing!

This Kaneki not only insulted him in public, but also challenged his authority!

If he doesn't kill him on the spot, what face will Lei Fei have left in Little Azure Sky Mountain?!

"Lei Fei".

Just as Lei Fei was about to make his move, Ling Feng's voice rang out again, as cold as a knife.

"The battle on the Arena of Life and Death is over. Jinmu has won and will become the Seventh Peak Master. This is a settled conclusion."

As the leader of the first peak, you should be tolerant of others.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Xu Feng before returning to Lei Fei: "As for Jin Mu's inappropriate words—he is to be confined to his room for three days to reflect on his mistakes."

"The affairs of the Demon-Slaying Hall will be temporarily managed by Qingxuan. This matter concludes here."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire room.

Ling Feng's words, while seemingly blaming both sides equally, actually revealed a clear bias.

What kind of punishment is it to confine Xu Feng to his room for three days to reflect on his mistakes?

Lei Fei was publicly humiliated but received no explanation.

Lei Fei's face was ashen, his hands clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood.

He stared intently at Xu Feng, then at You Quan and Ling Feng, and finally, with his fists clasped, he squeezed out three words through gritted teeth: "I understand."

Having said that, he turned around, transformed into a bolt of lightning, and soared into the sky.

The suppressed killing intent emanating from his back sent chills down everyone's spine.

"Hahaha!" But before he had gone far, he heard Xu Feng burst into laughter on the spot.

It was as if they were laughing at his cowardice.

It was as if they were laughing at his incompetence.

It was as if they were laughing at him, saying he could only suffer humiliation!

All around the arena of life and death was deathly silent.

The way everyone looked at Xu Feng was complex—a mixture of awe, fear, pity, and schadenfreude.

Having offended Lei Fei, this newly promoted seventh peak master probably won't live much longer.

Xu Feng, however, seemed completely unconcerned. He put away the Chaos Pearl and bowed to Youquan and Lingfeng, saying, "Thank you for upholding justice, Your Excellency."

""

Youquan gave him a deep look: "Jinmu, you were too impulsive today."

Lei Fei is, after all, the number one peak master. Your humiliation of him will surely invite retribution in the future.

"Your Excellency is wise," Xu Feng said frankly. "It was not that I acted impulsively, but that Lei Fei went too far."

He secretly investigated his subordinates and repeatedly made things difficult for them. Today, he even allowed his retainers to challenge him, attempting to seize my position as peak master—if my subordinates give in again, wouldn't we be at the mercy of others?

He paused, his voice turning cold: "Our Golden Wing Clan has always been clear about gratitude and resentment."

Since he sees me as an enemy, I will treat him as an enemy in return. As for revenge—that's what I'll do next.

However, no matter what, we are all people of Xiaoqingqiong Mountain, and even in a fight, we should have some sense of propriety.

"Today's deadly fight was my fault. I will not act so impulsively again. Please forgive me, Your Excellencies."

Youquan and Lingfeng exchanged a glance and said nothing more.

"You'd better watch yourself." Youquan waved his hand and left with Lingfeng.

Qingxuan walked to Xu Feng's side and whispered, "You were too reckless today."

Lei Fei is a man who holds grudges and seeks revenge. You insulted him in public, and he will never let it go.

Xu Feng looked at her and suddenly smiled: "Does Peak Master think that if I hadn't done this today, Lei Fei would have let me go?"

Qingxuan was taken aback.

"No," Xu Feng answered himself, "Since he already suspects me, he will not stop investigating or suppressing me."

The more I back down, the more he will take advantage of me.

17

His eyes were icy: "Rather than letting him hide in the shadows and use those dirty tricks, it's better to force him into the open."

At least for now, everyone knows that he and I are mortal enemies.

If he wants to do anything to me again, he'll have to consider the consequences and the attitude of his superiors.

Qingxuan was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "You're right—I was worrying too much."

She looked at Xu Feng, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes: "However, you have now completely offended Lei Fei. If he breaks through to the Star God realm, the first person he will kill will definitely be you."

Xu Feng smiled faintly: "Then let's see what he's capable of."

Qingxuan's pupils contracted.

Xu Feng said nothing more, nodded slightly to her, and turned to leave.

Wherever he went, the crowds parted automatically, and everyone looked at him with awe and fear.

In this battle, Kaneki not only won, but also utterly crushed Raikou!

His strength is probably already enough to make him the number one person below the top three peaks!

The seventh peak, the Golden Roc Hall.

As soon as Xu Feng landed, Xiao Feng, Chi Xu, and the others surrounded him, their faces filled with worry.

"Brother, what happened today—"

"It's alright," Xu Feng waved his hand, "Lei Fei won't dare to touch me for the time being."

However, the Seventh Peak must now be placed under the highest level of security; no retainer may leave the peak without my permission.

He looked at Xiaofeng: "Also, intensify the exploration of the ruins. Within three days, I need to have a general grasp of 'Xu' City."

"Yes!" Xiaofeng accepted the order.

Xu Feng then looked at Chi Xu: "Go to Qingxuan Peak and borrow a batch of defensive array flags and guard puppets from the Qingxuan Peak Master to deploy in key locations throughout the Seventh Peak."

"clear!"

The group acknowledged the order and withdrew.

Xu Feng entered the secret room alone, deactivated all the formations, and sat down cross-legged.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

What appears powerful today is actually dangerous.

If Ling Feng hadn't intervened at the last minute, with his current strength, he would have been at a disadvantage against Lei Fei without being able to use his many hidden methods.

"My strength is still not enough." Xu Feng looked inward at himself.

With golden skin and jade bones, only the skull remains; only the final step is needed.

My Qi and Blood value is stuck at 20, which is the limit of the War God Realm. Without breaking through to the Star God Realm, it cannot increase further.

"I must complete the skull tempering as soon as possible, and then—condense my domain and break through to the Star God realm!"

He took out the last Hundred-Refined Golden Body Pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

Once the elixir entered the stomach, it transformed into a gentle yet resilient torrent of medicinal power, surging towards the skull.

The skull has 22 bones, a complex structure that protects the brain.

The tempering process must be carried out with utmost care, as the slightest mistake could damage one's mind.

Xu Feng held his breath and focused his mind, using the "Heavenly Roc Fighting Dragon Technique" to guide the medicinal power, allowing it to penetrate, nourish, and strengthen the body bit by bit.

Time passed little by little.

The secret room was silent, with only the faint golden aura around Xu Feng slowly circulating, forming mysterious patterns under his skin.

Meanwhile, Lei Juefeng.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A dull thud echoed from inside the hall, accompanied by Lei Fei's suppressed roar.

After a long while, the sound stopped.

Lei Fei sat on the broken, lightning-struck wooden platform, his body crackling with lightning, his face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

This humiliation is something he has never suffered since becoming the number one peak master!

In front of everyone, he was called a "ball" by a junior, called "filthy and despicable," and said to be "just like humans."

But he couldn't kill him on the spot!

Frustrated! Angry!

A murderous intent surged!

"Kaneki—you must die!" Lei Fei gritted his teeth.

The palace doors slid open silently, and Lei Ying walked in slowly, kneeling on one knee: "Peak Master."

"How's the investigation going?" Lei Fei asked coldly.

"According to the news from the Wumeng Mountains, the Golden Winged Tribe split into three branches a thousand years ago."

Indeed, a remnant clan was scattered throughout the Wumeng Mountains, and Jin Yuyi's clan was one of them.

Furthermore, because their race was massacred by humans, there is not much evidence left, so this matter... cannot be investigated.

"It's alright," Lei Fei said in a deep voice. "His identity is no longer important. What's important is whether this person can be used."

You must immediately report to the envoy. My Little Azure Sky Mountain will definitely react to the death of the Red Pheasant. I will personally lead the army to Great Xia to get revenge.

This time we won't set a target; we'll just go wherever the enemy takes us, without a large army, and move with ease.

I want to see just how much this Great Xia human race is really worth. Without the Star God Realm cultivators appearing, who can do anything to me!

By the way, tell the envoy that I plan to hunt down one or two human geniuses on this trip, and I'll have Jinmu assist me.

"Yes!" Raikage flashed away from the main hall.

The seventh peak, the secret chamber.

Xu Feng sat cross-legged, his expression slightly somber.

He seemed to win the battle against the thunderstorm easily, but in reality, he didn't expend much energy.

"The thunderstorm's strength is weaker than expected." He adjusted his breathing for a moment, and his condition almost returned to full strength.

The recovery ability of the Heavenly Roc Dragon-Slaying Technique is indeed formidable.

"However, this battle has thoroughly offended Lei Fei. With his position as the seventh peak temporarily secured, Lei Fei will not dare to openly provoke him again in the short term."

But I suspect they'll create a lot of obstacles behind the scenes...

I had planned to focus on exploring "Xu" City and refining my skull, but given the current situation, it seems that won't be possible.

He looked toward the end of the secret chamber, where it led to the Ling Shu ruins.

"We need to deal with Lei Fei, this potential threat, first."

A cold glint flashed in Xu Feng's eyes.

Lei Fei had already become suspicious, and now he was also intent on killing her, so it was necessary to strike first.

"Perhaps—we can use Xu Feng's help."

A plan slowly took shape in his mind.

at the same time.

On the outskirts of Xiaoqingqiong Mountain, in a hidden cave.

Huang Sen squatted by the fire, roasting several plump pheasants. The fat dripped into the fire, making a crackling sound, and the aroma filled the air.

The Shadow Blade team members sat around a table. Although they were in a dangerous situation, they had worked together for a while and were well-fed by Huang Sen.

The atmosphere within the team was much more relaxed.

"Old Huang, your skills are amazing! You can even make something that smells so good in this godforsaken place."

Ling gnawed on a chicken leg, speaking indistinctly.

"Not only that, the attack we encountered yesterday by that alien lord squad would have left other low-level war gods in a panic."

But Old Huang remained calm and even dismembered the guy who almost escaped in the chaos on the spot.

That butcher's knife technique is truly ferocious! What kind of secret method is that?!

Huang Sen chuckled: "Hehe, I may not be good at anything else, but my mouth and my hands are amazing."

As for that secret technique, haha, to be honest, it was created by my brother.

Ying suddenly said, "Speaking of which, the command center just sent an encrypted message."

They said "that person" might be planning something big soon, so we should be prepared and ready to cooperate at any time.

Everyone's expression turned solemn.

They all knew who "that person" referred to—Xu Feng.

Huang Sen put down the kettle and asked in a deep voice, "The specific details?"

"It's unclear at the moment. They only told us to keep our communication channels open, and that there might be 'phishing' missions coming up soon."

Ying said calmly.

Huang Sen rubbed his hands together, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes: "Are you going to cause trouble again? Good, good, I'm itching to get out of here."

Ying glanced at him, said nothing, but a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes.

Their target was behind enemy lines, and every step they took was fraught with danger.

This proactive request for cooperation likely indicates an intention to target a significant objective.

"Attention, all personnel," Shadow stood up, "Starting today, we are entering a state of first-level combat readiness."

Cease all field reconnaissance missions and ensure that communications devices are always available.

T

"yes!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Huang Sen handed the last roasted chicken to everyone, wiped his hands, and looked at the dark night outside the cave with a hint of worry.

Old Xu, Old Xu—don't let this fire burn too brightly and set yourself on fire.

He knew that there was a huge gap in strength between him and Xu Feng.

All we can do now is stay here and watch over him.

at the same time.

Base Nine, core training ground.

On the massive alloy arena, two figures are engaged in a fierce battle.

No, it can't be called a confrontation; it's more like a one-sided teaching session.

"Sink your waist! Relax your shoulders! Your punches should flow like a dragon, not that you should actually writhe like a dragon!"

-

Li Wen's voice was as cold as iron.

With one hand behind his back, he easily blocked Li Tianlang's storm-like attacks using only his right hand.

Li Tianlang was covered in sweat and panting heavily, but his eyes burned with an indomitable spirit.

He gritted his teeth and charged forward again, delivering a powerful punch to Li Wen's face!

However, Li Wen simply turned slightly to the side, his right hand reaching out like a nimble snake, gently placing it on Li Tianlang's wrist, guiding and pulling it.

Li Tianlang felt an irresistible, gentle force coming from him, and his whole body involuntarily lunged forward, crashing heavily onto the edge of the ring.

"Grass!"

He cursed under his breath and stood up awkwardly.
