"That's Qin Feiyang's voice!"
"Why is he shouting Ma Hongmei's name?"
"The sound is coming from the Elixir Palace."
"Could it be he's seeking revenge on Ma Hongmei?"
The small town instantly erupted. Those still sleeping in were awakened by the long shout. Everyone rushed out of their houses and flocked towards the Elixir Palace.
CLANG!
At the same time, the doors to the Elixir Palace opened, and two young men strode out.
"Qin Feiyang, you've certainly got a lot of nerve, daring to call Elder Ma by her name directly!"
"You've offended our Elixir Palace! It won't end well for you. Kneel and apologize immediately!"
From their position at the peak, they looked down on Qin Feiyang, their eyes filled with utter disdain.
"Kneel?"
Enraged, Qin Feiyang actually laughed. He stepped onto the stone stairs, ascending towards the peak one step at a time.
"How dare he ignore our command!"
"Qin Feiyang, it seems you're feeling particularly courageous today!"
The two young men were instantly furious.
Qin Feiyang scoffed, "May I ask, by what right do you order me around? Your status as Elixir Palace disciples? That's laughable."
"You..."
"Fine, Qin Feiyang! If you've got guts, don't you dare run today..."
The two were livid, charging furiously towards Qin Feiyang.
At that moment, several figures raced over. Upon seeing Qin Feiyang on the stone stairs, they were all filled with astonishment and doubt. These individuals were none other than the Martial Palace Hall Master, the Lin Family Head, the Zhao Family Head, and Lin Baili.
The Zhao Family Head was an old man in white, yet he was strong and robust, his face ruddy and brimming with vitality. He glanced at the two Elixir Palace disciples, then at Qin Feiyang, and asked puzzledly, "What is Qin Feiyang trying to do?"
The Lin Family Head said, "It's obvious. He's here to cause trouble for the Elixir Palace."
The Martial Palace Hall Master frowned. "Even my Martial Palace members wouldn't dare trespass in the Elixir Palace. Is he tired of living, provoking them so recklessly?"
Lin Baili remained silent, his gaze flickering incessantly. However, all four of them automatically ignored Uncle Yuan standing nearby. It wasn't entirely their fault; Uncle Yuan had currently retracted his aura, appearing much like an ordinary old man.
"Get the hell down!"
The two Elixir Palace disciples sprinted forward. As they met Qin Feiyang, they shouted in unison, simultaneously raising their feet, one from the left and one from the right, to kick at him. This scene was strikingly similar to the one five days prior. Back then, Ma Hongmei had kicked him down in just the same way!
All of Qin Feiyang's pent-up killing intent and fury erupted in that instant. His hands shot out, seizing their ankles and squeezing hard!
"AAAH!!!"
Both their ankles were instantly crushed, and they couldn't help but cry out in agony.
Then, Qin Feiyang took a step forward, standing on the same step as the two men. His hands, like hawk talons, clamped onto their necks. Dragging them like this, he continued towards the peak.
"UUHH... UUHH..."
The two men roared desperately, struggling with all their might! But the hands gripping their throats were like iron clamps, threatening to crush their windpipes at any moment!
"How is this possible?"
The Lin Family Head stared wide-eyed, filled with disbelief. The Zhao Family Head felt the same. Although the Zhao family held no grudges against Qin Feiyang, his reputation as a "waste" was widely known. But the reality unfolding before their eyes was the complete opposite. Could he really be a waste?
"This boy is certainly not simple," the Martial Palace Hall Master murmured.
As for Lin Baili, seeing the strength Qin Feiyang exhibited didn't surprise him in the slightest. Instead, he crossed his arms, a playful grin on his lips.
At that moment, Ma Hongmei and the Third Palace Master emerged from the main hall, one after the other. Seeing Qin Feiyang ascending the stone stairs, Ma Hongmei's eyes flashed with murderous intent. She shouted, "Not only did you trespass into the Elixir Palace, but you also injured our disciples! Qin Feiyang, do you wish to die?"
Qin Feiyang stopped and released his grip. The two Elixir Palace disciples lay sprawled on the stone stairs, their backs mangled and bleeding profusely.
"Third Palace Master, Elder Ma, please save us..." they wailed, begging Ma Hongmei and the Third Palace Master for help.
"Today, no one can save you." Qin Feiyang gave a cold smirk, then turned and kicked them. The two were sent tumbling downwards like footballs. Instantly, they were battered, their heads broken and bleeding. Their screams echoed to the heavens!
"This is a blatant provocation!" The pupils of the Martial Palace Hall Master and the others constricted. They truly couldn't fathom what backing Qin Feiyang had to act so audaciously in the Elixir Palace.
The town's residents also arrived one after another. Without exception, all were dumbfounded, their jaws nearly hitting the ground in shock. Ma Hongmei and the Third Palace Master's expressions became terrifyingly grim.
However, Qin Feiyang was not intimidated in the least. He turned, looking directly up at the two, and said, "You two, does this scene feel familiar?"
The Third Palace Master said in a low voice, "Qin Feiyang, do you know what you are doing?"
"Of course, I know," Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile. "Five days ago, wasn't this exactly how Ma Hongmei kicked me down? Now, I'm kicking them down. What's wrong with that? However, just because I survived doesn't mean they will. Tumbling from such a height? That's surely a one-way ticket to death!"
"What does he mean?"
"Could it be that five days ago, Qin Feiyang didn't fall by accident?"
The crowd below immediately began to speculate.
"Utter nonsense!" Ma Hongmei snapped.
"If you don't want it known, don't do it in the first place." A slight grin touched Qin Feiyang's lips as he continued towards the peak.
A murderous glint flickered in Ma Hongmei's eyes.
The Third Palace Master said gravely, "Qin Feiyang, bring them back immediately and cut off one of your arms. Do that, and I'll let this matter slide. Otherwise..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, the screams abruptly ceased!
Qin Feiyang turned his head and saw that the two Elixir Palace disciples showed no signs of life.
They died just like that? He was somewhat stunned. They were too frail!
He turned back to Ma Hongmei and the Third Palace Master, a grin revealing his white teeth. "My apologies, they've fallen to their deaths. If you want their corpses, I'd be happy to assist."
"Has this kid gone mad?"
"He killed Elixir Palace disciples and, instead of kowtowing and begging for mercy, he's still provoking the Third Palace Master!"
"It seems he's dead set on dying today."
The clamor of the crowd filled the area. But Qin Feiyang remained unperturbed, calmly continuing his ascent.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from the Third Palace Master. Glaring murderously at Qin Feiyang, he said, "Now, you have only one chance to live: sever both your arms and gouge out both your eyes!"
"Then you're going to be disappointed," Qin Feiyang replied with a grin.
Undoubtedly, the Third Palace Master was utterly enraged. He descended the stone stairs step by step, his entire being consumed by a towering rage!
Seeing this, Ma Hongmei sneered, looking down at the Martial Palace Hall Master and instigating, "Martial Palace Hall Master, Cao Lang was killed by Qin Feiyang. Are you planning to let this account slide? Remember, Cao Lang was your Martial Palace's foremost genius!"
"Cao Lang was killed by Qin Feiyang?"
"How is that possible!"
"Cao Lang was a one-star martial master!"
The crowd was horrified. The Lin and Zhao Family Heads were especially shocked.
The Martial Palace Hall Master looked up at Ma Hongmei, then strode to the foot of the stone stairs. Standing on a step, he said, "Qin Feiyang, you have no way out now. If you do as the Third Palace Master says, I will not pursue the matter of Cao Lang's death."
Just then, Lin Yong, the Lin family's steward, hurried to the Lin Family Head's side. After glancing up at Qin Feiyang, he whispered a few words in the Family Head's ear.
"Damn it!"
"Qin Feiyang, you actually killed Lin Gu and Lin Guo!"
The Lin Family Head erupted in fury. He looked up at Qin Feiyang, his eyes filled with chilling murderous intent!
"What?"
"Even Lin Gu and Lin Guo were killed by Qin Feiyang?"
"This can't be true, can it?"
Disbelief filled the eyes of the surrounding crowd.
"It's true," Lin Yong shouted loudly. "A few days ago, Lin Gu and Lin Guo disappeared without a trace. I had people search the nearby deep mountains but found no sign of them. Last night, it suddenly occurred to me that Lin Gu and Lin Guo seemed to have a feud with Qin Feiyang. I wondered, could their disappearance be connected to him? So, I led people to Qin Feiyang's residence last night to search. And indeed, we found their bodies buried in a slope near the entrance! Tell me, if Qin Feiyang didn't do this, who did? Furthermore, Lin Shi and Lin Feng of my Lin family were also killed by him!"
"He actually killed so many people!"
"He's utterly deranged!"
"We must kill him today, to prevent him from further harming our Iron Bull Town!"
"Kill him!"
The crowd roared in anger, their murderous shouts shaking the heavens!
The Lin Family Head also walked over to stand beside the Martial Palace Hall Master, glaring coldly at Qin Feiyang above.
"Haha..." Qin Feiyang swept his gaze over the crowd below. Seeing their murderous glares, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"What's he laughing about?" people frowned.
"That's right, I, Qin Feiyang, killed them all!" Qin Feiyang declared forcefully. "But my conscience is clear!" Raising his head towards Ma Hongmei, he shouted, "Today, I swear I will take your head and let your blood dye the Elixir Palace red!"
With that, he charged towards the peak like a maddened lion! As for the Third Palace Master swooping down, Qin Feiyang ignored him completely.
"Let's see if you have the ability to make it up here then," Ma Hongmei sneered. The Third Palace Master was a Nine-Star martial master! With him present, Qin Feiyang trying to charge up was simply a fool's dream! At the same time, Qin Feiyang's attitude was like pouring oil on the fire, further enraging the Third Palace Master!
"Qin Feiyang, if I don't kill you today, what face will my Elixir Palace have left in Iron Bull Town!" He was truly moved to kill!
"Die!"
As he neared, he roared, True Qi gushing from his palm as he struck at Qin Feiyang's head!
At this moment, everyone believed Qin Feiyang was doomed.
But just then, Uncle Yuan, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, finally moved! He transformed into a streak of divine light, soaring skyward. In barely the blink of an eye, he landed before Qin Feiyang. Then, with a seemingly light palm strike, his palm collided with the Third Palace Master's.
"AAAH..."
Instantly, a painful scream rang out. The Third Palace Master shot away like a meteorite, smashing onto the stone stairs further up. Blood gushed wildly from his mouth!
