Night fell, pitch-black, only illuminated by the dazzling spiritual energy soaring into the sky.

Compared to yesterday’s ocean of people, with its deafening noise, today’s gathering has clearly thinned out! Yet those daring to stay and watch the battle are clearly much more formidable than yesterday’s crowd, all being extraordinary figures.

The prowess of these extraordinary figures, even giant fiends like the Giant Wolf Head of the Celestial Demon Sect, can’t help but regard them with respect, their expressions shifting from calm to cold, then from cold to solemn...

”People from the Zhengqing Sect are here, a few from the Desert Navigator are here too, and even that old witch from the Underworld River is present...”

Beside the Giant Wolf Head, the Giant Eagle listed these names as if counting his treasures, his gaze steady.

The more he spoke, even he felt his lips growing dry with shock. Such a lineup is so vast that if chaos erupted, only forces of the ’Two Sects, Three Sects’ magnitude might be able to suppress it!

Does today’s battle possess such terrifying allure?

But upon careful thought, it’s not surprising; after all, even that old fox Li Baizhou was severely injured, or rather poisoned, by just a scouting corpse-refiner yesterday!

If even a scouting beast is this formidable, one can only imagine how strong and powerful the real protagonist must be. Moreover, this involves both the White Snake Sect and the White Bone Sect, two major ’Two Sects, Three Sects’ level forces. Beneath the Fourth Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm, nobody can stay idle.

The Giant Wolf Head frowned slightly and kept silent, his gaze tightly scanning Emerald Lake over and over...

One quarter-hour, two quarter-hours, three quarter-hours...

”Is Chen Fei really coming?” As time slipped by, the Giant Wolf Head seemed to be running out of patience, grumbling irritably, but just then, his eyes slightly squinted, and he swiftly teleported to the entrance of Emerald Lake.

”Has he arrived!?” His gaze flickered, filled with uncertainty.

Not only him, but cultivators on the surrounding boats from various sects began to stir restlessly as well, their eyes quickly locking onto the entrance area of the Emerald Lake ships, a buzz of murmurs rising.

”Arrived? Is it him?”

”A person I don’t recognize... but so young!”

”Seems it’s truly him, Chen Fei of Jiangnan!”

”He actually had the guts to come? Even if the experts of the White Snake Sect have left, those two brothers of the White Bone Sect are both at the peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm!”

”Daring to come, not fleeing in battle, even if he loses today, he’s already considered quite the character!”

”Heh... a character? A dead man talks of character? Do you think the White Snake Sect and White Bone Sect will spare him?”

...

What was once a calm and serene Emerald Lake now erupted like a boiling pot, as various old monsters, experts, and mighty figures from different sects and factions couldn’t resist whispering amongst themselves.

Words exchanged back and forth, rendering the scene lively.

And at the next moment, under the night sky dotted with starlight, a seemingly ordinary wooden boat leisurely sailed into the Emerald Lake.

A young man dressed in a black robe sat leisurely on the bow, with a resolute and handsome face, his jet-black eyes, as clear as glazed meteors, were unfathomably deep, stirring the hearts of those who beheld them.

Is he Chen Fei? Seeing him today, he appears no different...

Can such a person truly have the qualifications to challenge such enormous demon forces like the White Snake Sect and the White Bone Sect?

Many inside were skeptical, seemingly waiting to see Chen Fei mocked, or even getting killed!

”Are you the Chen Fei?” At this time, Hex Jinxiong, one of the Two Hex Brothers from the White Bone Sect, who was seated on a small boat at the center of the lake, slowly stood up, his eyes flickering as he looked towards the distant small boat, the lake surface echoing with the sound of great waves.

”Naturally, it’s me...” On that small boat, the young man in black clothing slowly raised his head, looking at the cold faces of the Two Hex Brothers, he said coolly: ”What, are you two dissatisfied with my way of making an entrance? Aside from me coming today, who else is there?”

”You...” Hex Jinxiong’s expression stalled, and he coldly stared at Chen Fei, saying: ”You killed our White Bone Sect’s people for no reason. Shouldn’t you give us an explanation?”

”Explanation?” Chen Fei sinisterly smiled, his face indifferent: ”In all my life, Chen Fei has never needed to explain himself to anyone. If you are dissatisfied, does tonight’s battle not give you an opportunity? But, is it just the two of you?”

Wow!

The crowd’s eyes contracted, some looks turning surprised.

Only because Chen Fei’s words at this time seemed somewhat too arrogant, even facing a peak Third Heavenly Layer powerhouse like Hex Jinxiong, he has the guts to act so recklessly?

Does he really have that strength, or is it all just bluster!?

The crowd remained silent, eagerly awaiting what would come next.

”Do you seem confident in your strength?”

At this point, Hex Jintu, the other of the Two Hex Brothers, finally slowly stood up beside Hex Jinxiong, removing his bamboo hat, he looked coldly at Chen Fei and spoke.

”Do you want to try?” Chen Fei calmly watched him, and said.

”Do you think I dare not?”

Hex Jintu’s expression darkened, and an enormous sound, akin to thunder and fire, erupted from within his body.

The next moment, a chilling reverberation violently erupted across the Emerald Lake.

”The dignity of the White Bone Sect cannot be insulted! Today, if you can defeat the two of us, we will henceforth avoid you by a hundred miles. But if you lose, leave your life here, how about that?”

A colossal sound rumbled across the entire Emerald Lake, sweeping like a violent storm, shaking many people’s eardrums as if they were about to burst, teetering on the edge. Blood dripped profusely!

”Leave my life here?” Chen Fei smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with sharp brilliance, ”But have you thought about what your fate will be if you lose?”

”If we, the two brothers, lose, we will bow our heads and submit, how about that?” Hex Jinxiong beside him said coldly! His aura surged wildly, overpowering, and in an instant, completely locked onto Chen Fei, just waiting for the battle.

”One kneel for a life, you are quite clever, but never mind, go ahead... If I make the first move, I’m afraid you won’t even have a chance to strike back, and that would be meaningless, wouldn’t it?”

Chen Fei stood proudly on the wooden boat, his bold words echoed between heaven and earth, causing the onlookers’ eyes to constrict.

In the distance, Old Master Xuu and others heard Chen Fei’s bold words and were visibly shaken, ”This kid, what audacity! But he must win, come on...”

”Meaningless, is it? So be it as you wish, my brother and I will learn from your superior skills!”

”Boom!”

Hex Jinxiong’s face was cold, his eyes fierce, taking a step forward onto the water surface.

Instantly, a massive force was unleashed within a circular shockwave! Like a monstrous tide, terrifying ripples overturned the waters of the lake, turning the world upside down.

Hex Jintu was even more unwilling to speak, lifting his foot, his whole body shot out like an arrow, and in a flash, the surface of the lake roared and shuddered. A white tornado, extending hundreds of meters, split the lake surface like a hurricane, with wild Spiritual Energy surging skyward!

”Hiss! So this is the current strength of the Two Hex Brothers? How terrifying... They truly are at the peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm...”

People gasped, their eyes frozen! Even the formidable existence of the Giant Wolf Head of the Celestial Demon Sect was startled by the power displayed by the Two Hex Brothers, their hearts agitated.

”Sir, you want to test the capability of the two of us, but I wonder if you can endure even one move from us?” Hex Jinxiong sneered coldly with a gloomy gaze.

Chen Fei extended a hand, raised a finger, and smiled faintly, ”Didn’t I say? You have one move’s time, so, do your best!”

”Wow! This man...” People’s eyes constricted again, looking at Chen Fei with suspicion and even ridicule. Does this person have a problem with his brain? Daring to so lightly dismiss two at the peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm, does he truly consider himself a True Immortal, peerless and invincible?

”Good, very good indeed!” Hex Jintu was so infuriated by Chen Fei that his face turned red, his eyes bloodshot, and terrifying ferocity emerged from within him.

”Why waste so much talk with him? Whose strength prevails will be shown by their true skills!” Beside him, Hex Jinxiong said coldly. Though his words were thus, the ferocity in his eyes conveyed everything.

The emotions in his heart at this moment were far from calm!

”Since you are so confident, then take this!”

”Gilded Demon Extinguishing Finger!”

Hex Jinxiong’s eyes turned fierce, and with a booming shout, hundreds of streams of Spiritual Light burst forth from within him, soaring into the sky, dazzlingly bright, blinding to behold!

The next moment, that densely packed formidable Spiritual Light swiftly condensed into a brown-gold, glass-like finger, exuding boundless mighty power, as it thunderously crushed down towards Chen Fei from the sky!

In an instant, the skies shook, and the immense force pressed down on the surface of Emerald Lake, creating a vast hollow!

”Humph!”

Seeing this scene, Hex Jintu snorted coldly and also no longer held back! Stamping his foot, the lake surface within a radius of several tens of meters seemed to be struck by a massive shockwave, forcibly collapsing to form a semicircular void.

And utilizing this rebound force, his figure shot out like a phantom. In a single breath, he appeared in front of Chen Fei, whereupon tremendous, terrifying ripples surged forth from his hands.

”Try this move, Sky Splitting Hammer!”

Hex Jintu’s eyes flashed with ferocity, his first move being his famous, formidable skill! Shaking the clouds, tearing the firmament, its reverberations even more terrifying than Hex Jinxiong’s ’Gilded Demon Extinguishing Finger’ by several degrees...

”Mad, truly mad!” Witnessing the combinative might of the Two Hex Brothers’ divine skills, all present were parched, their scalps tingling, feeling as though their spirits were about to be shocked out of their bodies by the terrifying ripples!

This is the power they held after successfully breaking through to the peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of the True Person Realm?

Utterly insane, unbearably fearsome to the extreme.

However, when they gazed once more at Chen Fei, wanting to know how he would respond, they were involuntarily stunned, for they found Chen Fei completely motionless, allowing the terrifying assaults to sweep towards him...

In the next moment, Chen Fei’s silhouette was directly engulfed by the terrifying power...

The next second, a deafening roar erupted from the lake surface!

”What’s the result? Is that kid dead or alive!?” Everyone stepped forward several paces, eyes fixed intently on that region, eager to know if Chen Fei was alive or dead?

But in the following moment, every face was overwhelmed with extreme shock and incredulity, mouths agape, lips trembling, unable to believe... even Hex Jintu and Hex Jinxiong were no exception.

”What, what? This is impossible!?” The two brothers’ eyes were fixed rigidly on that region...

As the smoke cleared, one figure and one boat remained unscathed, as if they had experienced a dream-like illusion.

The figure slowly raised his head, a faint smile following.

”Is that all? That doesn’t seem to be enough.”
