Chapter 1393: Raging Luo Xuanqing

Luo Xuanqing's face immediately turned ashen at the other person's words. A powerful aura surged around him, threatening to erupt at any moment. "Believe it or not, I'll cripple you right now!"

He had crushed all competition on his way to the Saint Son Hall. Who dared speak to him like that?

Even his elder brother, Zhang Chun, wouldn't dare.

"Cripple me? Go ahead and try!" Zhang Feng sneered. "While your strength surpasses mine, don't forget this is the Spirit Awakener Guild. As a Saint Son of the Guild, I can easily command countless puppets to fight you!"

The Spirit Awakener Guild was filled with puppets. Once awakened, anything could become a weapon. What good was the opponent's strength here? Here, merely possessing the Saint Son identity made one virtually invincible. Even an eighth-level Saint would have to retreat in defeat, daring not to act presumptuously!

Luo Xuanqing's breathing grew ragged with anger, and his teeth ground together.

"What about me?" Zhang Feng scoffed. "I earned my position in the Spirit Awakener Guild through my own strength, unlike you, who relies on being a member of the Luo Clan to act recklessly and cause destruction everywhere. If you weren't the Little Princess's biological brother, do you think our Zhang Clan, or even the Saint Son Hall, would have tolerated you until now? You'd probably have been chopped up and fed to the fish long ago!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Zhang Feng snorted coldly. "And tell the Little Princess that it's her great honor for the top genius of our Zhang Clan to marry her. If she dares to run around again, changing her appearance and name, don't blame us for being impolite!"

"Honor? Impolite? Heh!"

Before Luo Xuanqing could speak, Zhang Xuan, who was nearby, couldn't help but look over. "Come on, tell me exactly how great an honor it is, and how you plan to be 'impolite'?"

To be able to marry Luo Ruoxi was a blessing accumulated over lifetimes. That so-called genius was pretentious and didn't even show up. Forcing a marriage alliance and disregarding the feelings of those involved was already bad enough, but for someone from the Zhang Clan to actually say such words... It was utterly rude!

Originally, he thought Luo Xuanqing's destructive actions were a bit excessive, simply too careless. Even when he himself caused damage, he always did so with a sense of proportion. Like at the Seer Guild just now... Never mind, it's better not to mention it; that had nothing to do with him, it was the Library's doing!

It was understandable to scold Luo Xuanqing, but to speak of Luo Ruoxi like that was utterly intolerable!

"Who are you? Do you have the right to interject here?"

Zhang Feng hadn't expected to be interrupted by an unknown youngster while he was rebuking. His eyes narrowed abruptly.

"Never mind who I am," Zhang Xuan continued. "I just want to ask, if the Little Princess refuses to marry into your clan, how exactly will you be 'impolite'?"

"Hmph, do you think she dares to refuse?" Zhang Feng sneered. "Little Princess... Hmph, that's just a title for outsiders. It means nothing in our Zhang Clan!"

"Say that again..."

Luo Xuanqing's aura instantly erupted, a surge of energy shooting skyward as if tearing the heavens apart. It was one thing for the other party to mock him, but insulting his sister was absolutely out of the question!

"So what if I say it again?" Zhang Feng sneered. "What 'Little Princess'? Pure and untainted? That's just talk... Bah! She has a marriage contract with our clan's genius, yet she runs around outside, flirting with other men. She's a disgrace to her family!"

"You're full of nonsense!"

With a furious roar, Luo Xuanqing charged forward. His figure, like a cannonball, appeared before the other man in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

He seized the air with his hand, and a fierce power surged forth, causing the air before him to instantly explode.

"Hmph, this matter is absolutely true," Zhang Feng scoffed. "Your Luo Clan has already received the news; they sent several elders a few days ago. Unless something unexpected happened, the Little Princess should still be grounded right now."

Zhang Feng swayed, dodging the attack, and retreated with a look of disdain. "What, you can do it, but I can't talk about it? Only my brother, being foolish, thinks she's wonderful every day... If it were me, I would have run over to question her long ago!"

"You're asking for death!"

With bloodshot eyes, Luo Xuanqing moved swiftly. He pressed and pulled with his hand, and the surrounding air instantly solidified, compressing Zhang Feng so he could no longer dodge. A mighty force slammed into his chest. Zhang Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

Though his strength was decent, it was only comparable to Bai Hongyin's and others. Compared to Luo Xuanqing before his breakthrough, there was already a gap, let alone after. He was severely wounded in just one move.

"Luo Xuanqing, you're asking for death..."

Landing heavily on the ground, Zhang Feng scrambled to his feet, his eyes turning crimson. He seized the air with his hand. "Beat him to death for me!"

Whoosh!

Accompanying his command, more than a dozen puppets immediately appeared before him. These puppets were neither mechanical constructs nor refined artifacts, but rather special treasures that had been awakened. They didn't seem to have a specific rank, but their strength was exceptionally formidable. In particular, a four-meter-tall Flame Giant appeared, and the surrounding space became somewhat distorted from the heat upon its arrival. Another was a Steel Giant, forged from unknown materials and exceptionally durable. Even a high-grade Saint artifact would likely require immense effort to break through it.

Luo Xuanqing could easily crush Zhang Feng, but with over a dozen puppets suddenly appearing, he immediately became flustered and overwhelmed.

"Damn it!"

His face darkened, and with an angry roar, Luo Xuanqing no longer concealed the power within him.

Rip!

His Half-Step Void-Shattering realm strength was fully unleashed. The surrounding space became somewhat distorted, and rampaging true qi burst forth. The already collapsed area became even more chaotic under the impact of his immense power. Originally, he had intended to conceal his cultivation and unleash it suddenly when fighting Zhang Chun to utterly dominate him. But now, enraged by Zhang Feng, he could no longer hold back.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Although there was only one minor level between the Void-Shattering Realm and the Half-Void Realm, it was akin to two different worlds. When the power of a Half-Step Void-Shattering master was unleashed, the many puppets seemed to instantly fall into a quagmire. They struggled, but couldn't escape.

Crack!

With a downward press of his large hand, mountains fractured and rivers ceased to flow. More than a dozen puppets couldn't even withstand a single breath before they all uniformly collapsed to the ground. They roared incessantly but couldn't move an inch closer.

"You..." Zhang Feng's pupils contracted in disbelief, realizing the person before him had reached such a realm of strength. He hastily retreated.

"If you don't explain yourself clearly, do you think you can escape?"

With a long roar, Luo Xuanqing, like a humanoid dragon, took a powerful step forward. The space before him immediately rippled with countless waves, like water struck by a stone. The ripples struck Zhang Feng as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, and he spat out blood again, plummeting straight down from the air.

Whoosh!

After knocking him down from the air, Luo Xuanqing took another step, appearing before Zhang Feng in the blink of an eye. He kicked straight for his head. Judging by the speed and power, if that kick connected, Zhang Feng would be as good as dead. The insult to his sister had completely enraged him. He no longer cared about any rules or consequences. Like a dragon's reverse scale, anyone who touched it would face death!

"So fierce..."

Zhang Xuan had originally intended to intervene, but seeing his brother-in-law charge forward, he ultimately held back. He still found it inconvenient to reveal his identity, and besides... without summoning the Azure Dragon Beast, it wouldn't be easy to defeat this fellow. Of course, if his brother-in-law were to suffer, he would definitely find a way to eliminate this guy. Putting everything else aside, just for insulting Ruoxi, he deserved death countless times over; no one could save him!

"You..."

Seeing the power behind the incoming kick, Zhang Feng grew fearful. He no longer dared to hold back and instantly activated his bloodline power.

Boom!

Time seemed to slow down, or perhaps his speed had increased. His body suddenly contracted, appearing several meters away in the blink of an eye, barely dodging the furious kick.

Boom!

The kick landed on the ground, sending countless shattered rocks flying, and a massive pit, over thirty meters in diameter, appeared before everyone.

"Luo Xuanqing, are you insane..."

Zhang Feng cringed in fear, nearly falling from the air. Although this place was already collapsed, it could have been quickly rebuilt if enough skilled craftsmen were found. But with such a massive pit, the ground utterly destroyed, how could it be rebuilt now? It was completely ruined!

Too lazy to answer him, Luo Xuanqing completely disregarded whether the other party had activated his bloodline power. His figure flickered, appearing before Zhang Feng again, and with splayed fingers, he slapped forward. That palm strike seemed to obscure the entire space above them, as if it instantly pulled Zhang Feng into a special grotto-heaven. Zhang Feng felt his scalp tingle, and the qi within him was suppressed to the point of explosion. Even before the palm force landed, he spat out blood.

Even with his bloodline power activated, it still couldn't bridge the gap between their strengths.

"When did you break through? How can you be so strong..."

His scalp felt like it was bursting, and Zhang Feng was filled with regret. He had known all along that this guy would explode whenever his sister was mentioned. Why did he have to provoke him to his own doom? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

Activating his bloodline power, he recoiled again, finally dodging the incoming palm strike.

Boom!

A massive palm print appeared on the ground once more. The surrounding buildings that hadn't yet collapsed swayed a few times. Even the guardian stone statue that had stood at the entrance continuously trembled under the impact of the immense force, threatening to fall into the pit at any moment.

"Luo Xuanqing, I am a professional Saint Son!" Zhang Feng shrieked. "If you dare to harm me, you'll be going against this entire profession. You will face endless pursuit in the future, and even the Luo Clan won't be able to protect you..."

Seeing the other party still charging at him like a mad lion, Zhang Feng was truly terrified and shrieked with all his might.

"Let them pursue me then!" Luo Xuanqing roared again. "Even if they do, you'll die first..."

Boom!

Roaring once more, the space before Luo Xuanqing seemed to vanish again. In a flash, he reappeared before Zhang Feng, and another palm strike slammed down. This strike completely sealed off the surroundings. The space seemed to turn solid, making movement impossible. Even if Zhang Feng used his Zhang Clan's innate talent, he couldn't escape.

"Have you caused enough trouble, Luo Xuanqing? Don't push your luck!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as the palm was about to land on Zhang Feng's head, a loud shout rang out. Three elderly figures appeared before everyone, seemingly out of nowhere. One of them extended a hand, and a beam of light blocked Luo Xuanqing's power.
