Chapter 120: Cross Strike

Huang Xiaoxian's smile froze. His pupils slightly constricted, and his expression turned grim. He couldn't believe he had been warned like this!

"What if it's a human city? We are still honored guests!" he declared, feeling angry inside but forcing a smile as he brazenly looked around at everyone.

"Now that all races coexist peacefully, there's no longer any distinction between regions and cities; that would only seem narrow-minded," Xu Wanyi interjected at the opportune moment. She wore a red evening gown that accentuated her curves, looking exceedingly glamorous and enchanting.

As expected, this woman was stirring up trouble. Chu Feng glanced at her disdainfully and said, "Miss Xu is so gracious and generous; perhaps you could dance with Mr. Huang as an apology on our behalf."

Xu Wanyi's face stiffened slightly, and her smile vanished. How could she possibly dance with Huang Xiaoxian? What kind of creature was he? She knew in her heart he was a weasel!

Even if his grandfather was a Beast King with terrifying power.

But if she danced with Huang Xiaoxian now, what face would she have left once the news spread? After all, she was the daughter-in-law of the Lin family from Heavenly God Biological.

Huang Xiaoxian smiled; he didn't mind dancing with a beautiful woman and said nothing.

Xu Wanyi politely declined, saying, "I'm not feeling well. Besides, it was that lovely young lady who offended Mr. Huang. I think it would be better for her to dance with him as an apology." She pointed at Ye Qingrou, still trying to divert the blame.

Chu Feng scoffed, "Oh, I saw you dance several times just now, and you were quite good. What's wrong, do you look down on Mr. Huang?"

Everyone looked over, their expressions changing subtly.

Xu Wanyi's face tightened slightly. She loathed Chu Feng, having never expected him to react so quickly and trap her like this.

Chu Feng continued, "So-called peaceful coexistence isn't achieved this way. Someone just humiliated you, and you still have to force a smile? Is that due to your personality, or do you think it's how things should be?"

This was tantamount to publicly shaming Xu Wanyi, practically accusing her of being servile.

"You..." Xu Wanyi was furious; she had never been so humiliated before.

Chu Feng had long found her distasteful. She had tried to kill him repeatedly and even sent people to harm his parents, touching his reverse scale. Now she dared to jump out again. Regardless of who she was, he certainly wouldn't speak kindly. In a different setting, he would have already attacked.

Lin Ye Yu walked over from a distance, giving Xu Wanyi a cold glance. He felt his wife was losing too much face today, completely making a fool of herself.

"Brother Chu shouldn't speak like that. The integration of all races is a major trend; please don't let personal prejudices interfere," someone from the host organization stepped forward and said.

He feared nothing. In his view, what if Chu Feng was the Ox God King? Could he compare to the descendant of a Beast King? Could he be mentioned in the same breath as the daughter-in-law of the Lin family from Heavenly God Biological?

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Yes, the integration of all races is a good thing, but nothing is ever entirely smooth. There needs to be a period of adjustment and transition. I got along very well with the descendant of the Silvermoon Wolf King earlier and became friends, so it's normal not to get along with Mr. Huang."

He was very calm and restrained, not wanting to make things difficult for those involved, but he absolutely disagreed with what this person said. Therefore, he mentioned the Silvermoon Wolf King's descendant to provoke and remind him.

As expected, the person looked a little embarrassed, his expression slightly darkened, and he refrained from saying more.

At this point, many people stepped forward to smooth things over, as no one wanted the atmosphere to become too tense; it wouldn't benefit anyone.

The hosts, in particular, apologized to Huang Xiaoxian, whispering something to him.

Additionally, someone approached Chu Feng and quietly told him not to say anything more.

Huang Xiaoxian smiled and said, "It's fine to let this pass, but he must come over and apologize to me!"

He pointed at Chu Feng. Although he was smiling, he seemed somewhat overbearing, his sharp chin lifted in extreme arrogance.

This was because he wasn't afraid of any Ox God King. After carefully watching that movie, he had already judged Chu Feng's strength, estimating it to be inferior to King Kong and the Silverwing Heavenly God, relying only on a large bow.

Chu Feng scoffed, ignoring him, and simply turned away.

"You..." Huang Xiaoxian's face darkened, and he strode forward.

Nearby, someone advised Chu Feng, "Brother Chu, why bother? Just humble yourself and let it go."

"I can't do that," Chu Feng replied, turning to look at the person who advised him, then sweeping a contemptuous glance at Huang Xiaoxian. At this point, it was already commendable that he hadn't made a move.

"Then I'll teach you how to apologize to me!" Huang Xiaoxian said coldly, pressing closer.

The surrounding people stared in disbelief. Was he going to attack just because of a disagreement? Everyone had a premonition that something big was about to happen!

From beginning to end, the other young foreign powerhouses remained silent, watching with cold eyes.

Golden light flared brightly in Huang Xiaoxian's pupils as he directly threw a punch at Chu Feng. With arrogance and disdain, he thought nothing of the Ox God King, planning to break his bones and tear his sinews with a single blow.

*Bang!*

A man with a buzz cut walked over. His skin was bronzed, giving him a tough appearance. He was handsome and very valiant. He grabbed Huang Xiaoxian's hand.

"Brother Yuan?" Huang Xiaoxian had been about to get angry, but when he turned and saw the young man, his face immediately broke into a placating smile, and he lowered his aggressive posture.

The sturdy, bronzed young man looked at him calmly and said, "What kind of place is this? Do you intend to fight here?"

"Yuan Feng, from Mount Song!" someone whispered.

Instantly, everyone guessed his origin. Yuan Feng was likely a descendant of the old ape from Great Forest Temple. The fact that he could immediately subdue Huang Xiaoxian upon his appearance indicated his extraordinary status.

Kong Sheng, who had been silent, now spoke and walked forward, saying, "Yuan Feng, you're here too." He was a descendant of the Peacock King, possessing an extraordinary status, with many people gathering around him like stars orbiting the moon.

"Yes, I just arrived," Yuan Feng nodded, released Huang Xiaoxian, and walked over.

"I actually needed to talk to you about something," Kong Sheng said. His appearance was exceptionally handsome, truly rare, with purple hair flowing loosely and a slender build. His aura was remarkably distinguished.

Despite his handsomeness, he wasn't effeminate; he carried a slight air of authority because terrifying power lay dormant within him, and even faint traces of its aura made people feel pressured.

"What is it?" Yuan Feng asked, simultaneously glancing at Huang Xiaoxian and adding, "It's not appropriate for him to act recklessly in this setting."

Huang Xiaoxian felt awkward and did not make another move.

Kong Sheng smiled, and his face instantly became incredibly radiant, like the blooming purple dawn.

He said, "These are minor matters. That person was right; during the integration of various races, friction and clashes are inevitable. There needs to be a transition period. Let them resolve it themselves. Can you and I intervene once, or twice, or three times?"

"This..." Yuan Feng started to say something, but Kong Sheng pulled him aside.

Huang Xiaoxian smiled. Kong Sheng's words gave him full confidence, making him unafraid of escalating the situation.

Chu Feng's heart jolted. Could the Peacock King truly be the terrifying entity that controlled the Azure Wolf King and the Eagle King? And did Kong Sheng already know he had killed the Azure Wolf King?

It was clear that Kong Sheng harbored no goodwill towards him and intended to let Huang Xiaoxian act as he pleased.

"Brother Yuan Feng!" Miao Fei, the foreign woman, called out sweetly. She had refreshing short hair and eyes like gemstones, occasionally flashing with an eerie yet beautiful green glow.

Yun Fei, a descendant of the Cloud Leopard King, also stepped forward to greet Yuan Feng.

"Yuan Feng, I want to trade some things with you for the pollen and fruits of the Vajra Bodhi Sacred Tree," Kong Sheng said.

"You came to me for this?" Yuan Feng asked, his expression grave. "What are you offering in exchange?"

The Vajra Bodhi Sacred Tree, a millennium-old ancient tree on Mount Song, was currently the most precious exotic tree. Its Vajra Bodhi fruits possessed miraculous effects, enabling rapid evolution!

Kong Sheng said, "Although Mount Song's Vajra Bodhi Tree is called a Sacred Tree, it certainly isn't fully one yet. It needs time to gradually recover. Rest assured, what I offer in exchange will be no less valuable than its current pollen and fruits."

"You want to break through and become one of the King-level beings?" Yuan Feng asked him.

Kong Sheng smiled, appearing even more enchanting and handsome, his purple eyes deep. He said, "You and I are the same. Presumably, the Ape King has already prepared the pollen and sacred fruits needed for your evolution. It won't be long before Mount Song gains another King."

The two conversed openly, and many people overheard, their hearts filled with shock!

Exotic fruits were incredibly rare, and others struggled to even become awakened beings, yet these two were picking and choosing, aiming to become Beast Kings!

Was this the benefit of occupying renowned mountains across the land? It was simply maddening!

"The ancient Bodhi tree produces too few fruits; I may not be qualified to enjoy them," Yuan Feng shook his head.

"The Old Ape King doesn't need that many for now. He's already unparalleled; he'll surely consider letting you break through," Kong Sheng smiled faintly.

The surrounding people listened with bated breath, gradually understanding.

The descendants of Beast Kings entered human settlements to gain experience, learn various human knowledge, and broaden their horizons.

For these unusual beings, many aspects of human civilization were worth learning.

Furthermore, this mortal world, with its intricacies and human relations, was a treasure trove for them. If they could master these aspects, their mental states would vastly improve.

Otherwise, terrifying entities like the Peacock King and the Old Ape, who could find the rarest exotic fruits, could have allowed them to break through already.

Beast Kings had their own considerations. Their descendants hadn't undergone centuries of trials and tribulations like them, so their accumulation wasn't deep enough.

They wanted their descendants to integrate with humanity, to experience the bustling mortal world, and to drift through the "great dyeing vat" for a period!

Many were astonished; the descendants of Beast Kings truly were uniquely blessed, destined to break through to higher levels, their path already laid out!

In fact, Huang Xiaoxian was also indignant. Although he was also a descendant of a Beast King, his fate was different. Their ancestor had only recently broken through to the Beast King level, so how could they care for them adequately?

Moreover, the place their lineage occupied wasn't considered a renowned mountain. They had only seized a moderately famous peak in the north, with few exotic trees, making it likely difficult to support a second Beast King.

Therefore, Huang Xiaoxian grew increasingly indignant. A fire burned in his heart; he already disliked Chu Feng, and now he wanted to kill him even more.

"Gentlemen, let's talk this over. We can sit down and discuss it," someone said, sensing trouble and wanting to dissuade them.

Huang Xiaoxian was lean, with yellow hair and a very sharp chin. His eyes gleamed, and his smile at this moment was repulsive.

He smiled without warmth, saying, "I'm very easygoing, it's nothing. Just let this beautiful lady dance with me as an apology." He pointed at Ye Qingrou.

Ye Qingrou's expression changed. She now guessed this person's origin. Being forced to dance with a weasel spirit would definitely make her a laughingstock afterward.

Then, Huang Xiaoxian, at his leisure, pointed at Ouyang Qing and Du Huaijin, saying, "Also, these two are an eyesore; make them get lost!"

"You!" Ouyang Qing and Du Huaijin were furious, repeatedly targeted, making them incredibly angry.

Chu Feng naturally knew he was being deliberate. While outwardly targeting Ye Qingrou and Du Huaijin, he actually intended to humiliate Chu Feng, seize his female companion, and rebuke his friends, acting arrogant and tyrannical.

"Hurry up and come here!" Huang Xiaoxian lifted his chin, golden beams of light blossoming in his eyes as he looked at Ye Qingrou. He used his mental power, intending to forcibly control her to approach him.

His mental power was terrifyingly strong. Many people nearby felt dizzy and were affected, let alone Ye Qingrou, who bore the brunt of it.

Her face paled, and her body swayed.

"Scram!" Chu Feng roared, his voice infused with the Manic Ox Roar, which also contained a mental attack, forcibly breaking Huang Xiaoxian's mental restraint.

*Boom!*

Huang Xiaoxian's face turned cold, and he threw a punch that sounded like thunder, directly striking at Chu Feng.

*Bang!*

Chu Feng raised his hand, blocking it directly, and gazed at him coldly.

"Gentlemen, please don't do this. Can't you both take a step back?!" The hosts were anxious, and many people rushed over, trying to separate them.

"Let's fight on the rooftop; don't disturb others," Chu Feng said. He had been restrained enough today, but now he had no choice but to act.

"Life and death are fated," Huang Xiaoxian chuckled, very relaxed and not taking Chu Feng seriously, as he hadn't even used full strength just now.

In an instant, the banquet hall emptied. Everyone followed them to the rooftop of the Qilin Building, where the space was wide enough for the two to fight.

Stars twinkled, and the night was soft.

The building's rooftop was quiet; even with many people standing there, there was no chatter. Everyone watched from a distance.

Huang Xiaoxian stood in the center of the rooftop, very conceited but not careless. At this moment, brilliant golden light surged in his eyes, and he roared at Chu Feng, "Aren't you going to come here and kneel!"

His mental power was incredibly terrifying. The moment he made his move, he used this almost supernatural ability, intending to manipulate Chu Feng's mind, forcing him to kneel publicly and suffer humiliation.

Chu Feng felt a sharp pain in his brain, realizing he was under a mental attack.

He slowly shuffled his feet forward, his body seeming to bend.

Huang Xiaoxian laughed heartily, feeling utterly satisfied. He thoroughly enjoyed this sensation of controlling others' wills and dominating everything.

"Boss!" Du Huaijin and Ouyang Qing's faces turned ashen, and they shouted loudly.

Ye Qingrou also felt a pang of distress. If Chu Feng were humiliated here, it would be worse than killing him; the consequences made her feel equally miserable.

"Chu Feng!" Chen Luoyan called out, trying to rouse him.

At this moment, even Jiang Luoshen couldn't bear to watch. Although she had wanted to beat Chu Feng up earlier, she didn't want him to be humiliated in front of these exotic beings. She opened her mouth as if to say something.

Kong Sheng was very calm, standing motionless, his waist-length purple hair fluttering in the night breeze. His handsome face showed no emotion.

"Is this alright?" Yuan Feng whispered.

"There's always a period of transition and adjustment; let them resolve it themselves," Kong Sheng said, glancing at him.

Many people sighed. This scene was indeed uncomfortable, especially since the person about to be humiliated was Chu Feng, a human.

Xu Wanyi was smiling, feeling an inner delight. She had finally waited for this day and almost burst out laughing.

"Very good, very obedient," Huang Xiaoxian smiled, the golden light in his eyes growing even more intense. He felt he could control anyone's life and death.

He noticed that Chu Feng's waist seemed to have lowered a bit more, and he greatly enjoyed this moment.

*Boom!*

However, the next moment, thunderous wind explosions erupted as Chu Feng suddenly moved, throwing a punch as fast as lightning!

Earlier, his slow forward shuffle was merely to close the distance, and his slight bend was to gather strength for his punch!

"You..." Huang Xiaoxian shrieked.

He couldn't dodge at all; the opponent's speed was too great, reaching supersonic levels.

He could only quickly extend his arms to block and then counterattack.

However, he had underestimated Chu Feng from the very beginning. After taking the first punch, his face turned ghastly pale.

"Crack!"

With the first blow, his right arm was directly fractured, broken by Chu Feng.

"Crack!"

When Chu Feng's second punch landed, his left arm also broke, bending unnaturally and emitting chilling sounds of bone snapping.

*Boom!*

Chu Feng delivered a third powerful punch, striking his chest.

"Crack!"

Huang Xiaoxian's chest caved in, four of his ribs fractured, and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood as he flew horizontally through the air.

*Whoosh!*

Chu Feng followed up with terrifying speed, causing the air to explode with a loud bang. He caught up to Huang Xiaoxian, who was flying through the air, then delivered a kick that swept against his left ribs with a thud, causing the bones there to crackle as a section of his ribs broke.

Only then did he stop, standing motionless.

"Ah..."

Only then did Huang Xiaoxian let out a shriek. With multiple bone fractures throughout his body, the intense pain was unbearable. He fell onto the rooftop with a thud, writhing on the ground and continuously spitting foamy blood.

Everyone was stunned. No one spoke; they all stared ahead, disbelieving.

Chu Feng was too ferocious; ending the battle so cleanly and swiftly was truly shocking.

"Too brutal, too wild, but I like it!"

After a long silence, Ouyang Qing finally let out a strange yell.

Hearing this, others involuntarily wanted to nod. They all felt the same way, finding it exhilarating, and felt a sense of satisfaction only after Huang Xiaoxian had been swept aside so brutally.

As fellow humans, many had long found Huang Xiaoxian an eyesore, but they dared not speak their anger, unable to show it.

Now that someone had stepped forward and attacked him so decisively, it brought great satisfaction!

The few foreign beings remained expressionless.

"You deserve to die!" Huang Xiaoxian shrieked. He was indeed a weasel, naturally possessing powerful mental energy.

This creature was often called "Huang Daxian" in many places because there were too many legends about them, the most famous being their ability to control people's minds, which was very strange.

After Huang Xiaoxian evolved, this ability naturally became even stronger, yet he suffered such a crushing defeat.

In fact, Chu Feng admitted that Huang Xiaoxian was very strong, at least at or above the eighth stage of the Awakening Realm. If it had been anyone else, they would definitely have fallen for his trick.

Even the formidable Ye Qingrou had been unexpectedly controlled by Huang Xiaoxian's mind.

If Chu Feng hadn't mastered the Ox Demon Roar, which contained mental attack methods, dealing with him would likely have taken some effort; it wouldn't have been so clean and swift.

"Kill!" Huang Xiaoxian screamed.

*Whoosh!*

A dazzling beam of light suddenly shot up from Huang Xiaoxian, cutting towards Chu Feng.

"Oh my god, it's a flying sword!" someone gasped in astonishment.

It was indeed a short sword, only palm-sized, gleaming blindingly as it slashed towards Chu Feng's neck.

"It's not just Mount Shu that has sword manipulation techniques; our lineage is also proficient," Huang Xiaoxian sneered inwardly. This was his greatest reliance: powerful mental energy that allowed him to control objects and kill.

*Rumble!*

However, Chu Feng's performance was utterly formidable. His left hand formed a dragon shape, his right hand a tiger shape, and the Dragon-Tiger Hegemony ultimate move of Xingyi Quan instantly burst forth.

*Clang!*

His hands came together, and at the most critical moment, he directly clamped down on the dazzling flying sword.

"Crack!"

He twisted his hands, and with the Dragon-Tiger Hegemony, a divine sound erupted, shaking the rooftop. The spiraling force burst forth, directly tearing the flying sword to pieces.

"How is that possible?" Huang Xiaoxian paled in shock. The flying sword's material was extremely rare, yet it had been torn apart like this.

The next moment, Chu Feng came closer and stepped forward with a kick!

"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking rang out.

"Ah..."
