“You bastard!”
“You’ve infuriated me!”
Gao Feng drew the magical sword in his hand. The entire blade was blue, covered with shimmering runic patterns that radiated treasure light, clearly of decent quality. For an outer sect disciple, wielding a low-grade magical sword could already be considered extravagant equipment.
However, Ziyun stepped forward, fixing him with icy eyes.
“I’m here to deal with that old man, not you. I know you’re highly regarded by the elders, but don’t push me!”
“If you know what’s good for you, then get out of my way right now!”
Gao Feng wanted to deal with Su Bai, but he had no desire to make an enemy of Ziyun. What he couldn’t understand was why Ziyun and Lin Xiaoyue both insisted on protecting such an old man in his seventies or eighties. Could it be that this old fellow truly had some extraordinary qualities?
“The one who should get lost is you.”
“I’m in a good mood today and don’t want to lower myself to your level.”
“Hurry up and apologize to Senior Su, then get out of here.”
Ziyun didn’t draw her sword, yet the oppressive aura she radiated alone was enough to inspire fear.
Gao Feng was still holding on, since his cultivation wasn’t weak. But the dozen or so lackeys he had brought with him were already trembling all over. Ziyun was the second young genius of the Azure Cloud Sect outer sect after Lin Xiaoyue. Someone like her was far beyond their ability to contend with.
Gao Feng thought to himself, I’m covered in magical artifacts—can I really not handle a little girl? So what if her talent is high?
Right now, he only wanted to deal with this girl first, then beat Su Bai viciously to vent his anger.
“Thunder Sword!”
Gao Feng unleashed the divine technique taught to him by Elder Yujian. Elder Yujian was one of the three great elders of Lingjian Peak and had already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. Even if he ranked lower among the elders, he was still an old monster who had lived for nearly a hundred years. A divine technique passed down by such a person was naturally terrifying in power.
But what Gao Feng didn’t expect was that the moment the lightning struck Ziyun, it was bounced away by a streak of emerald-green light.
Ziyun sneered. The Jade Bracelet on her wrist was a mid-grade magical artifact, far superior in quality to Gao Feng’s sword. This was a gift personally given to her by Senior Su, so its power was naturally extraordinary.
“Ziyun, don’t waste words with this guy. Just use a talisman and finish them off.”
Su Bai sat there calmly, roasting a chicken wing. He casually pulled a paper talisman from his robe and handed it to Ziyun.
The moment Ziyun took it, her eyes lit up.
True Divine Flame Talisman! You are reading on g.com, the official source.
This kind of talisman was anything but ordinary. A Qi Refining Realm cultivator would have absolutely no ability to resist it.
Ziyun was deeply shaken. What kind of existence was Senior Su? Such a precious talisman, taken out as casually as if it were just some ordinary item—this was the true foundation of a reclusive expert.
It wasn’t just Ziyun who was stunned. Gao Feng was dumbfounded as well.
Damn it.
Using a True Divine Flame Talisman against a Qi Refining Realm cultivator?
That’s like using a cannon to kill a mosquito!
Are you burning money for fun?
This is beyond wasteful—this is insanity.
Following Elder Yujian, Gao Feng’s cultivation resources were already plentiful. Ordinary outer sect disciples received only 1 Spirit Stone per month, while he got 10. But a True Divine Flame Talisman of this quality was worth at least 100 Spirit Stones!
Those 100 Spirit Stones would be enough to support him cultivating all the way to the 7th stage of the Qi Refining Realm and entering the inner sect!
Yet Su Bai had casually taken out such a talisman just to deal with them. This level of waste hurt Gao Feng more than being beaten.
Ziyun flicked her finger, and the yellow paper talisman instantly burned to ashes. As the ashes scattered, a mass of golden flames appeared in her palm. With a casual wave, the fire engulfed an area over 30 meters ahead.
“Not good! Retreat, now!”
Before Gao Feng could even speak, his lackeys had already fled in panic. Those who ran too slowly had their clothes and hair scorched.
Gao Feng had it the worst. Because he was too close to Ziyun, he couldn’t retreat in time and was completely engulfed in flames. His protective robe and ring flashed repeatedly, releasing streaks of multicolored light to resist the True Divine Flame. Even so, his defensive spells were instantly evaporated.
“If you don’t want to die, then bark like a dog a few times right now. If I’m in a good mood, I might spare you today.”
Su Bai continued roasting his chicken wing, leisurely sprinkling on some seasoning.
Listening to Su Bai’s slow, aged voice, Gao Feng was seething. He had come to cause trouble for Su Bai, yet now he was being forced to bark like a dog!
I, Gao Feng, am a man of pride. If I bark like a dog for you, where would my dignity go? Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!”
“Senior Su, I submit! Please withdraw your divine technique!”
Clearly, Gao Feng was someone who understood the times. Compared to his life, this bit of pride meant nothing.
Ziyun raised her hand, and the flames shot straight into the sky, dispersing into the clouds.
Freed from the burning flames, Gao Feng barely managed to keep his life. Even so, his entire body was charred black, especially his face, which was pitch-black and made him look like an ape.
“Get lost.”
“If you dare come looking for trouble again, I’ll be waiting.”
“But next time, it won’t be so easy to keep your life.”
Su Bai let out a cold laugh, so frightening that Gao Feng’s legs went weak and he dropped to his knees.
“I wouldn’t dare!”
“It was my fault for being blind. I’ll never dare do this again!”
Forget about next time—Gao Feng already regretted this deeply. He really must have been out of his mind to come provoke Su Bai over such a small amount of money. Even with the Spirit Beast Garden position, he would only earn an extra 2 or 3 Spirit Stones per month. Risking his life for that was absolutely not worth it.
Gao Feng and his group left in disgrace. At the same time, a System Notification Sound echoed in Su Bai’s ears.
[Host has successfully gifted: True Divine Flame Talisman.]
[Obtained 100x Critical Return: Chaos Fire Seed.]
Su Bai’s heart stirred. The talisman he had given Ziyun was merely a casual gesture, yet it had once again triggered a Critical Return. And this time, the reward far exceeded his imagination.
