Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Hmph! He's just a mere cultivator at the ninth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, yet he dares to huff at Lu Feng. He's practically courting death!"

However, compared to the disdain of most people present, Ren Xuanfei, who was watching from the sidelines, was very optimistic about Lu Feng and did not think that Zeng Jin, one of the Killer Brothers, could win.

After all, Lu Feng had not only saved her from danger several times in the past, but he was also the most outstanding young genius of Falling Star Academy in nearly a hundred years. His strength was far beyond that of ordinary martial artists!

"Brother Lu hates nothing more than people showing off; it seems this guy is about to suffer a lot..."

Like Ren Xuanfei, Ren Lingyun also shook her head slightly at Zeng Jin's provocative face-to-face contact, her face showing a hint of pity.

As the current crown prince of Dongyun Kingdom and one of Lu Feng's former fellow disciples, Ren Lingyun was fully aware of the former's strength, background, personality, and temperament.

Given Lu Feng's temperament, if Zeng Jin had kept quiet and stopped showing off, he would have simply lost a match.

Now that Zeng Jin dares to provoke Lu Feng in public, his final fate is inevitable, and he will most likely suffer a terrible fate!

...

In the center of an unnamed valley, in front of a huge clearing

"A soft persimmon?"

Lu Feng glanced at Zeng Jin, whose face was full of arrogance, but remained calm, merely grinning, "It seems you're quite confident in your abilities?"

"Hmph! Dealing with someone as easy as you is a piece of cake for me, Grandpa is naturally confident of victory!"

With another cold snort, Zeng Jin's arrogance remained undiminished. He cracked his neck, producing a series of popping sounds, and said, "Kid, I don't have time to waste words with you here!"

"If you don't want to get beaten up for nothing, you'd better surrender obediently, lest you say Grandpa didn't give you a chance...!"

"Hey, what a coincidence."

Faced with Zeng Jin's arrogant threats, Lu Feng grinned again, "I don't have many flaws, except that I always get itchy skin every now and then. If you're so kind, how about you help me loosen up my muscles?"

"You sharp-tongued brat! How dare you make fun of your great-grandfather...!"

Seeing that Lu Feng still had a grin on his face and didn't take him seriously at all, Zeng Jin was furious and suddenly raised his hand to punch the former in the chest!

Whoosh! Bang!

Just as Zeng Jin's full-force punch was about to strike Lu Feng's vital chest, the latter also raised his hand and struck out with a palm, as if using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, instantly knocking Zeng Jin back without causing him any harm!

"You're a really strange person. Why did you suddenly attack before you even finished speaking?"

"Could it be that you two notorious scoundrels are also a bunch of treacherous villains, only capable of resorting to sneak attacks?"

With a single palm strike, Lu Feng easily repelled Zeng Jin. Instead of pursuing him, he stood with his hands behind his back, a mocking smile on his lips, seemingly not in a hurry to make a move.

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

Upon seeing this, Zeng Jin was also furious, his face turning ashen.

After all, he was one of the infamous Fiend Brothers, known in the martial arts world as the Great Fiend, and his cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Spirit Soul Realm. He had never suffered such an injustice before!

"Big brother! Stop wasting time talking to this kid, kill him!"

"Let's show this kid what our 'Demon Brothers' are all about...!"

Not far away, a short, thin man with a scar near his eye also roared in fury, staring at Lu Feng in the center of the battlefield with hostility. He seemed to be Zeng Jin's younger brother, one of the Fiend Brothers, "Little Earthly Fiend" Zeng Jue.

Although Zeng Jue's own Yuan Power cultivation was slightly weaker, only at the eighth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, thanks to the infamous reputation of the Fiend Brothers, he was also invited by the Ancient Buddha Sect of the Southern Yue Kingdom to be an external aid, and at the same time participate in the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament held every twenty years.

As for your question about why the old bald monks of the Ancient Buddha Sect would associate with ruthless killers like the Evil Star Brothers?

Then I can only say that, driven by absolute self-interest, even a virtuous Buddhist monk cannot escape worldly desires in the end.

"Second brother, just you wait and see! This brat won't last three moves against me!"

Faced with the encouragement of his younger brother, Zeng Jin's morale soared. He pounced on Lu Feng like a hungry tiger, throwing a punch at the same time!

"Well done!"

Seeing Zeng Jin's furious attack, Lu Feng did not confront him head-on. Instead, he lightly touched the ground with his feet and instantly landed to the side like a dragonfly skimming the water, dodging the opponent's full-force punch.

"His strength is not bad, but his speed is too slow. No, no, he's still far from good enough...!"

"If that's all you've got, you can't possibly beat me..."

Easily dodging Zeng Jin's attacks, Lu Feng's smile remained unchanged as he waved to the former, as if this was not a battle, but an old man teasing a child.

"You brat, stop your arrogance!"

Having missed his punch and been mocked by Lu Feng, Zeng Jin's eyes widened and his veins bulged. He roared and his Yuan Power surged out like a tidal wave, as if he had completely decided to kill!

"Heavenly Fiend True Qi, protect my Dao body, unleash!"

As a large amount of Yuan Power surged out, a strange white mist slowly condensed on the crown of Zeng Jin's head, emanating a sinister aura that seemed to be the Heavenly Fiend True Qi derived from pure Yuan Power.

Moreover, this Heavenly Fiend True Qi is different from ordinary Yuan Qi. Not only is its destructive power more domineering, but its defensive power is also astonishing, making it a perfect combination of offense and defense!

"Heavenly Fiend True Qi? It's Big Brother's Heavenly Fiend Iron Head Technique!"

Seeing a large, eerie white mist suddenly emerge above Zeng Jin's head, Zeng Jue, who was watching the battle, also curled his lips into a slight smile, followed by a sinister grin. "Hehehe, Big Brother never uses this technique lightly. This brat surnamed Lu is doomed today...!"

"This is... a low-level Xuan-grade cultivation technique?"

Lu Feng, also noticing the strange white mist above Zeng Jin's head, raised an eyebrow, his expression showing surprise. "I didn't expect this bald guy to have some treasures..."

After all, Zeng Jin was only a martial artist at the ninth level of the Spirit Soul Realm, yet he currently possessed a low-grade Xuan-level cultivation technique. It must be said that he had indeed encountered many fortuitous opportunities!
