Chapter 449: Fist and Foot Principles

The old man exploded, leaving behind a pile of ashes on the spot.

A dazzling ball of solar essence fire dispersed. The terrifying temperature from moments ago had made people's hearts palpitate, and even now, the air remained unbearably hot, with heatwaves rolling.

Chu Feng waved his hand, using mental energy to retrieve the Vajra Disk. It was pure white and lustrous, with a soft sheen, looking like a magnificent work of art.

The area was quiet, and everyone was stunned!

A Boundless Realm evolver had died just like that, with only one strike, incinerated into ashes, truly annihilated in both body and spirit!

Chen Sheng's face was ashen, completely drained of color. He clenched and unclenched his fists, his body twitching slightly, unsure if it was from anger or fright.

"You..." He stared at Chu Feng, his face full of resentment. His body trembled slightly, filled with hatred and anger, yet also a sense of dread and fear.

People from Penglai Island had always been arrogant, considering themselves orthodox. How could he possibly accept this now? The old man by his side had just been killed in public.

His face turned from ashen to livid; this was a profound humiliation for him.

"Brother Chu, what's going on?" Li Qing spoke. He wore ancient attire with a wooden hairpin in his topknot, which made him stand out among the many people dressed in modern formal wear.

He put down his stemmed wine glass and walked over, his expression slightly cold. They had agreed to cease hostilities and avoid bloodshed, but now someone had died.

As he moved, several other people approached immediately.

A woman in green, with flowing sleeves, also in ancient attire, approached. Her skin was exquisite, like congealed jade, and her hair was adorned with various ornaments, including golden hairpins.

"Saintess Li Lin, what do you suggest we do?" Li Qing asked her.

"This is a Saintess!?" Chu Feng was surprised.

Li Lin was exceptionally beautiful and possessed an outstanding demeanor. She was very composed, with divine light flashing in her eyes, and she now looked toward them with a hint of coldness.

"Saint Son Li Qing, Saintess Li Lin," Chu Feng said, looking at them. Among this group, these two held the highest status and possessed the greatest strength.

Chu Feng spoke calmly and unhurriedly, saying, "That old man intended to kill me and insult my character. I had no choice but to act in self-defense."

Many people nearby were speechless. To utter words like "self-defense" and incinerate someone to ashes—this was certainly a first.

Chen Sheng's face was grim as he launched his attack, saying, "You butcher, you're deranged! You publicly killed someone from my Penglai Immortal Island. How arrogant and conceited must you be to act like this? Do you think you can behave this way just because you're a chosen one? It's too despicable and tyrannical!"

Regardless, it was best to first label Chu Feng with a serious accusation. Even if his malicious provocation had led to this outcome, and even if he had indeed instructed the old man to kill Chu Feng just now, he absolutely could not admit it.

Chu Feng showed a strange expression, looking at Chen Sheng. Then he walked directly over without saying anything, and with a loud *slap*, he slapped him across the face.

"Ah..." Chen Sheng shrieked. His face was a mess, beyond recognition. He simply couldn't believe it; this person was even more overbearing than he had claimed when slandering him.

Everyone was speechless. Was this person truly arrogant to the extreme?

"Chu Feng, what are you doing?!" Li Qing exclaimed.

Li Lin also looked displeased, revealing a cold demeanor. Divine light shone from her eyes as she stared at Chu Feng.

Beside them were several other people, both male and female. Wisps of energy, very dense and of extremely high quality, overflowed from their bodies, proving their strength.

Furthermore, further away, a dozen or two extraterrestrial beings in the Boundless Realm were slowly strolling over.

"I'm reasoning with him," Chu Feng said.

Then, he watched as Chen Sheng, who had been slapped flying by him, got up from the grass. Looking down at him, he said, "You're the young master of the Chen family from Penglai, right? Do you think my reasoning is sound?"

"You... you're going too far!" Chen Sheng roared in anger. This was public humiliation; after being slapped, what "reasoning" was there to discuss?

He was the young master of a certain lineage from Penglai, one of the highest-status local evolvers, who prided himself on his noble bloodline, yet now he was being treated like this.

"Saint Son Li Qing, Saintess Li Lin, please uphold justice! This person is arrogant and tyrannical, repeatedly committing acts of violence. Please subdue him!"

The next moment, he flew sideways again, coughing up blood, his face filled with shock. He was almost exploding with rage, because it was still Chu Feng who had attacked, kicking him in the chest so hard that the sound of bones breaking could be heard, sending him flying backward.

"You motherf—..."

At this moment, Chen Sheng erupted, no longer able to endure it. He cursed loudly, having never suffered such a great loss or been publicly humiliated before.

"Oh, so you've finally stopped pretending?" Chu Feng calmly watched him and added, "I'm still reasoning with you."

Then, without waiting for others to question or challenge him, he directly reprimanded Chen Sheng.

"Do you think you can casually sow discord and use your glib tongue to call black white, and dead people alive? Just now, you maliciously provoked me, wanting that old fellow to kill me. In fact, that old bastard even brought an iron chain for tethering animals to put on me, humiliating and targeting me like that, hoping I'd resist so he could kill me. And you describe such behavior as righteous and reasonable, feeling a great sense of accomplishment, don't you?"

Chu Feng paused slightly at this point, then said, "So, you spout your 'reasoning,' while I use my fists and feet to deliver mine."

"You..." Chen Sheng's face was grim, almost distorted, as he pointed a finger at Chu Feng.

With a *bang*, Chu Feng raised his leg again and kicked out. The result was a *crack*, and Chen Sheng's finger bone fractured. He shrieked, his arm trembling wildly as he stumbled away.

"You pointed your finger at me, humiliating me like that," Chu Feng said. "I can only reason with you."

"Enough, Chu Feng, aren't you being too arrogant!" This time, before Li Qing or Li Lin could speak, a red-haired man, over a *zhang* (approximately 3.3 meters) tall, shouted from the side. He was very imposing, with beams of light shooting from his eyes like searchlights, making him sharp and intimidating at this moment.

"Actually, I don't want to say too much; it's quite boring," Chu Feng said. "Many of you have evolved to the Boundless Realm, with keen divine senses. You should have sensed what just happened. If not, there are cameras over there, surveillance. Go take a look at what happened."

A group of people stared blankly, *Could it be like this?* Even surveillance cameras were brought up. These were all evolvers here; did he really think this was a street brawl between ruffians that required reviewing surveillance footage after being caught?

"I still think you're arrogant!" The tall, red-haired man, with an intimidating aura, approached, looking down at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng was calm and said, "What's your name, and which galaxy are you from? I don't know you, do I? Don't be like Chen Sheng, always quick to label people. It's a bad habit."

Around them, the local evolvers were astonished. They felt Chu Feng was truly fearless and too casual. He faced extraterrestrial beings of the Boundless Realm without changing expression, even speaking with a tone of questioning and warning.

Many had seen that not long ago, this imposing red-haired man had been chatting pleasantly with Chen Sheng and the old man. Chen Sheng had invited them to be guests on Penglai Immortal Island.

At this moment, the red-haired man heard Chu Feng's words, and his smile turned slightly cold as he said, "Quite a temper you have. Remember, my name is Zhu Chengkun."

"Zhu Chengkun, what are you doing?!" Saint Son Li Qing looked at him, realizing Zhu Chengkun was about to make a move.

Zhu Chengkun smiled and said, "Nothing. I see that the Chosen One has extraordinary bearing and a fiery personality, which suits my taste perfectly. I'd like to have a little spar with him."

"Stop, don't move!" Someone next to Saint Son Li Qing also spoke up, intending to stop Zhu Chengkun.

"Oh, it's just a spar, not a fight to the death. It's harmless," someone nearby said, taking Zhu Chengkun's side. "We all want to witness the prowess of the Chosen One from Earth."

That was a man with a crocodile tail, a wide mouth, and fangs. He looked almost like a humanoid crocodile, with chillingly cold eyes. This was a being from Crocodragon Star.

At the same time, several others agreed, expressing a desire to see Chu Feng's abilities.

Li Qing and Li Lin exchanged glances. They knew that even though a consensus had been reached earlier not to target Chu Feng at this stage, there were still some who disagreed, harboring hostility, eager to immediately sever his head to exchange it for a Saint's Bronze Medallion. It was clear they intended to cause trouble now.

Zhu Chengkun's smile became more pronounced, no longer appearing cold. He was very tall, and in a few long strides, he approached Chu Feng, intending to "gauge" him.

Even without Chen Sheng, he would have found trouble with Chu Feng; moreover, now he had a ready-made excuse.

Because he had emerged from the starry path of Mount Zhongnan, he was Zhu Wuque's trusted subordinate, ordered to kill Chu Feng, the Chosen One among the natives.

Who was Zhu Wuque? Yin Jiuque's very favorite descendant, who possessed the demeanor of a Sub-Saint from back then, and was cold and cruel by nature.

Most importantly, Yin Jiuque had once manifested by borrowing the power of the Sub-Saint Golden Wolf, and contacted his descendant Zhu Wuque, instructing him to definitely kill Chu Feng.

Therefore, Zhu Chengkun initiated the conflict; he would have found a reason even without an excuse. His heart was filled with killing intent, wanting to cut down Chu Feng, as he was from Yin Jiuque's lineage.

Some extraterrestrial beings in the Boundless Realm supported Zhu Chengkun in gauging Chu Feng. This naturally made Li Qing frown as well. With divided opinions, he also hesitated slightly.

At this moment, all the local evolvers looked at Chu Feng. In such a tense and critical moment, what would Chu Feng do?

Qi Honglin from the Pre-Qin Research Institute opened his mouth and whispered, "Brother Chu Feng, perhaps you should step back."

Jiang Luoshen also frowned, transmitting mentally, "If you confront them head-on like this, you'll suffer greatly."

Young Xingyi Grandmaster Xu Qing, Princess Lin of the Primordial Magnetic Immortal Cave, and a large group of people who knew Chu Feng all looked over. Some sent mental messages, others showed strange expressions.

In their view, if Chu Feng encountered problems and continued to be so unyielding, he would likely face great trouble.

Chu Feng smiled without saying anything. Since he dared to come to Mount Putuo, he would not retreat. If he were afraid, he wouldn't have come!

In Chu Feng's view, these people wouldn't just let him retreat if he wanted to. They had already set their sights on him, and ultimately, it would come down to true strength.

They spoke nicely about ceasing hostilities and avoiding bloodshed, but Chu Feng believed that some among this group definitely yearned to sever his head.

If he had known these were people from Yin Jiuque's lineage, specifically targeting him, Chu Feng wouldn't have needed to overthink; he would have simply initiated combat.

And now, he didn't delay for too long, saying, "Then make your move!"

"Oh, it's just a spar. Why would I fight Brother Chu to the death?" Zhu Chengkun chuckled.

But deep in his eyes, cold killing intent simmered; he had come for murder. His powerful body exuded terrifying dark mist and fiery light as he bore down on Chu Feng.

He wasn't too worried about Chu Feng activating Mount Putuo's domain, because this purple bamboo forest area had long been cleared by extraterrestrial beings.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Earth and stones flew. Since Chu Feng had made his choice, he naturally wouldn't hold back. In an instant, he threw out four brass pillars, sealing the area.

The four Dragon-Locking Stakes surrounded even him, let alone Zhu Chengkun, who was directly engulfed in mist.

"Hm?!" Zhu Chengkun was slightly annoyed and quickly made his move. He lunged towards Chu Feng's remembered position, feeling that he was within arm's reach and could definitely strike him with one blow.

However, everything changed once the four Dragon-Locking Stakes were driven into the ground. His palm struck nothing.

This was no longer the simple "ghost wall" of the past. After multiple refinements in the Grand Supreme Eight Trigrams Furnace, two layers of the brass pillars' mystery had been unveiled. They were currently far stronger than before, most suitable for trapping people and forces.

As a domain researcher, although Chu Feng was also within the formation, it wouldn't cause him any trouble. He was proficient in the domain symbols here and also possessed fiery golden eyes, able to see through everything. How could he possibly be trapped within an upgraded ghost wall?

An dark-red long spear appeared in Chu Feng's hand. This had been seized from Saint Son Yu Feng's group from the Hundred Transformations sect. At that time, he had plundered several secret treasures, yielding abundant gains.

He used the dark-red spear as a large club, swinging it directly onto Zhu Chengkun's face, leaving it a bloody mess and his facial muscles twitching.

Even a Boundless Realm evolver, suddenly struck in the face with a large metal club, could not endure it; the pain was unbearable.

The next moment, he was struck again on the head, making his body stagger, his skull feeling as if it would split, and almost sending him crashing to the ground.

"Creatures of the Boundless Realm truly are resilient!" Chu Feng sighed. Within the domain displayed by the Dragon-Locking Stakes, he was unaffected, moving freely, and his eyes saw everything clearly.

"How dare you!" Zhu Chengkun was furious. To be struck twice, once on his face and once on his skull, was truly humiliating.

"Thud!"

The next moment, a cold spearhead thrust toward him, nearly entering his mouth, making his hair stand on end. This domain was too strange; his divine senses had vanished, and he hadn't even known danger was approaching.

"Ah..." he shrieked, quickly retreating.

Chu Feng swung the long spear again, striking him on the back of his head with astonishing force. This time, a faint *crack* could be heard, creating a crack in the skull at the back of his head.

Outside, a group of people were dumbfounded, and felt a slight chill run through their bodies.

"Ah..."

Zhu Chengkun screamed, regretting his initial decision. He was beaten to the ground, almost passing out. This filled him with shock and rage, feeling immense humiliation, but also a sense of powerlessness. He had been thoroughly defeated.
