Chapter 109 - The Silent Ruthless Character
Chapter 109: The Silent Ruthless Character
Zhou Feng shut his mouth and didn’t speak upon hearing Gong Qu’s words. He just quietly looked at Gong Qu.
Spewing nonsense was never his cup of tea.
As long as he didn’t speak, it meant that he was ready to make a move at any time.
Fighting was allowed in the blessed land, and one could even directly kill without being held accountable.
However, no one would choose to kill under normal circumstances.
Firstly, those who could enter the blessed land were either powerful or had connections.
Killing someone would bring them trouble without any special circumstances.
Secondly, once Gong Qu killed Zhou Feng, it would be easy for others to reject him.
However, this was only an unspoken rule.
“Are you mute? Don’t tell me you still dare to make a move?”
Gong Qu stared at the silent Zhou Feng, still looking arrogant.
This wasn’t to say that Gong Qu didn’t have a brain or that Gong Qu was always this arrogant.
This was because targeting Zhou Feng was the intention of the person behind him. All of this was just to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys.
At present, the competition for the Sect Leader position was very intense, and some people were already unable to keep appearances. They didn’t care about Leng Maner’s attitude and would take a stand first.
In order to intimidate the other competitors, Zhou Feng became the chicken that would die to warn the monkeys.
Gong Qu’s arrogance was only for the others to see.
As for what Zhou Feng thought, it didn’t matter from the beginning to the end.
A mere Grade-8 Soul Apprentice Pill Master couldn’t possibly turn the sky upside down, right?
“Interesting! I wonder how this person will handle this matter.”
“It looks like he’s preparing to make a move!”
“This just so happens to be someone establishing his authority! But do you think Gong Qu will succeed?”
“This person seems to have some secrets. Otherwise, Eldest Senior Sister wouldn’t have dragged him into the blessed land!”
“I wonder what Eldest Senior Sister will do when she finds out about this matter.”
“…”
Many of the onlookers returned to their senses.
Gong Qu’s performance was different from usual. Obviously, all of this was done for them to see.
Zhou Feng, a Grade-8 Soul Altar small figure, was completely a supporting role in this big show.
Facing the clamoring Gong Qu, Zhou Feng frowned slightly and remained silent.
Seeing him like this, Gong Qu was certain that he didn’t dare to attack him. A disdainful smile appeared on his face.
“If you dared to attack me now, I would still respect you as a man! Unfortunately…”
Gong Qu’s clumsy performance caused Zhou Feng’s tightly furrowed brows to relax slowly.
Seeing Zhou Feng like this, Gong Qu felt that he still didn’t dare to attack him. He smiled again and prepared to see the expressions on the others’ faces.
After all, putting aside the person behind Gong Qu, just the comparison of Gong Qu and Zhou Feng’s strength on the surface alone made many people think that Zhou Feng wouldn’t make a move.
Gong Qu was a Grade-5 Soul Altar cultivator, his soul power pure and enormous. He did not lack top-grade soul artifacts, Gus, and dao arts.
Just as Gong Qu turned his head and looked elsewhere…
‘An opportunity!’
Zhou Feng’s eyes flashed with a bright light.
Demon-Devouring Battle Art!
Surging Demonic Qi condensed into a long spear, and the tip of the spear pierced through the air.
Relying on his extraordinary perception, Zhou Feng seized this opportunity and stabbed at Gong Qu from a tricky angle.
And this was the moment when Gong Qu’s attention was relaxed.
Previously, Zhou Feng had not made a move because he was waiting for an opportunity.
Although Gong Qu had acted so arrogantly just now, his entire body was in a tense state. His attention had also been on Zhou Feng, ready to counterattack at any time.
It was only at that moment when he thought that Zhou Feng did not dare to make a move that his mind relaxed a little.
As such, Zhou Feng seized this opportunity and launched a sneak attack.
“You! You’re courting death!”
Gong Qu revealed a twisted expression as he had been under the impression that Zhou Feng wouldn’t dare to make a move.
The long spear condensed from Demonic Qi stabbed into his chest.
Fortunately, he had a top-grade armor and magic weapon on him, which blocked the attack.
However, a trace of Demonic Qi still penetrated Gong Qu’s body through the Armor-Piercing Spear’s passive effect.
“Peerless strength!”
To Gong Qu, Zhou Feng making a move was akin to that looking down on him and the person behind him.
Earlier, he had assumed that Zhou Feng did not dare to make a move, but now, he did so without saying a word.
Wasn’t this a huge slap to his face?
Thus, Gong Qu activated the Peerless Gu in his body, not intending to leave any leeway.
Gong Qu cultivated the Peerless Gu, and cultivators who used the Peerless Gu as their Vital Gu would put almost all their energy into their physical bodies.
Violent Blood Qi erupted from Gong Qu’s body like a turbulent wave as he roared.
A suffocating and terrifying aura spread out in all directions.
Along with the eruption of power, Gong Qu appeared in front of Zhou Feng in a flash.
“As expected, the Peerless Gu’s power is still as exaggerated as before!”
“That’s right! Just by relying on the power of flesh and blood of the body, it is enough to crush most cultivators!”
“But what I didn’t expect was that this person called Zhou Feng actually dared to make a move!”
“And he didn’t even say a word. He is a ruthless character!”
“…”
Gong Qu suddenly unleashed a punch, and Zhou Feng only lightly jumped back to dodge it.
Furthermore, he dodged it by a hair’s breadth.
Thanks to the superior senses given by Master Hunter, coupled with Battle Instinct, Zhou Feng was able to predict Gong Qu’s attack easily.
The moment he dodged, the spear in Zhou Feng’s hand stabbed again.
Naturally, Gong Qu ignored this stab because such an attack wouldn’t even be able to break his skin.
Gong Qu’s armor was called Peerless Armor, a top-grade soul artifact.
Normally, it would not appear on his body.
Once it entered battle, it would reveal itself. Its defense was unparalleled.
Not to mention Gong Qu’s body was powerful because of the Peerless Gu. He could even shatter a soul weapon with his bare hands when he used all his strength.
Unfortunately for him, Zhou Feng’s Armor-Piercing Spear allowed him to pierce through these layers of defense easily.
A trace of Demonic Qi once again entered Gong Qu’s body.
‘Impossible! What kind of attack is that?’
Gong Qu’s expression changed slightly, and he began to feel that something was wrong.
How could Zhou Feng’s attack ignore his defense?
Previously, he had thought it was an illusion, but this time, he was certain that Zhou Feng’s attack actually ignored his defense.
The tingling pain was very obvious.
Zhou Feng did not care about what the other party thought. He just kept his head down and attacked fiercely.
“Ah!”
Gong Qu went berserk. The Blood Qi on his fist started to burn, and he started to wave it wildly.
However, he was not powerful just because he shouted loudly.
Gong Qu looked terrifying, and anyone could sense his explosive raw power.
Still, one’s strength would be useless if they couldn’t hit their opponent~
