Chapter 217 - Feng Tianxia

“You! I’ll kill you!”

Facing Chen Fan’s ferocious attacks, Song Yang fell back repeatedly. He almost couldn’t believe Chen Fan was suppressing him.

Despite his long-standing pride and self-perceived superiority, he found himself yielding to someone at the second level. The frustration was unbearable, and he recognized this was the start of a lifelong grudge.

“Heaven and Earth Pagoda!”

As he roared furiously, robust primeval force erupted from his head, rapidly intertwining in the air to form a nine-layered pagoda.

The pagoda seemed to contain countless demons, and their agonized cries resonated amid the raging flames.

“You've pushed me this far—a grievous sin that will stain me forever. You shall no longer live in this world.

“I’ll suppress you, kill you, and extract your soul to be eternally tormented within this pagoda. No pleas for mercy, no release through death. You're the first witness to my Great Heaven and Earth Cultivation Technique.”

Song Yang's expression contorted hideously as he maintained the pagoda in hand, twirling it in the air. The wails of the demons and spirits became even more miserable and piercing to the ear as if the demons were clawing at the hearts of the onlookers.

“The upper-profound tier martial art, Great Heaven and Earth Cultivation Technique! It’s not our sect’s martial art, but the ultimate technique passed down within the Song Clan.”

“The Song Clan can be considered a prestigious clan even in the Great Chu Empire’s imperial city, with over a thousand years of heritage and rich foundations. Legend has it that mastering the Great Heaven and Earth Cultivation Technique allows one to materialize the Heaven and Earth Pagoda, wielding boundless power to subdue all.”

“Chen Fan actually forced Song Yang to use the Heaven and Earth Pagoda. I’m afraid he won’t be able to resist any longer.”

“......”

An unusual light shone in some expert disciples’ eyes, gaining a newfound admiration for Chen Fan.

His continuous surprises had kept them on their toes since the outset.

Chen Fan's actions, including the killing of three individuals, had stirred Song Yang to break his promise and confront him directly. Surprisingly, even he was pushed back and had to unleash his pagoda.

Amidst the turmoil, Chu Tiange remained composed, viewing the situation as a matter that could be resolved with a single stroke.

“That’s enough!”

A sudden cold shout interrupted the escalating conflict as Song Yang pushed the Heaven and Earth Pagoda to its limits.

Wang Hui, standing proudly in the air, pointed a finger. He summoned a sharp sword that swiftly descended upon the Heaven and Earth Pagoda and destroyed it.

Crash!

The entire Heaven and Earth Pagoda collapsed.

“Elder Wang Hui!”

“Elder Wang Hui showed himself and made a move.”

Wang Hui's intervention took the onlookers by surprise.

Song Yang spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, staring resentfully at Wang Hui. He roared, “Wang Hui, what do you mean by this? You dare attack me?!”

“Hmph, Song Yang, members from your society have broken the rules repeatedly and disregarded the Life and Death Hall’s rules. What audacity!

“I won’t argue with you about that on account of Feng Tianxia. Get lost from here and focus on cultivating. If you dare make another move, I’ll kill you on the spot!”

Wang Hui’s icy voice resounded, sending a shiver in everyone present.

“Hoho, Elder Wang Hui, are you not already breaking the rules by intervening?”

Suddenly, another cold laughter rang out.

With a rustling of the wind, a figure materialized—a man with a slender, sword-like brow and jade-like translucent skin, exuding a dignified aura. Yet, his narrow, wolf-like eyes revealed an uncompromising personality that tolerated no defiance.

This kind of person would often accomplish great things.

“Who is he?”

Chen Fan looked at this man, narrowing his eyes, as he sensed an overwhelming and oppressive force akin to an ancient divine mountain standing before him.

“Feng Tianxia!” said Wang Hui as his eyes also narrowed.

Feng Tianxia was the leader of the Tianxia Society, a holy disciple of the Spring Autumn Sect with an unparalleled cultivation level.

“Heavens, Senior Brother Feng Tianxia showed up in person.”

“Didn’t Senior Brother Feng Tianxia become a holy disciple ten years ago? I wonder how strong he is now.”

“I’ve never seen a holy disciple in person. It is my good fortune to see Senior Brother Feng Tianxia today. He does live up to his reputation, indeed. Even if he isn’t doing anything, I am having difficulty breathing.”

“......”

The onlookers broke out into a commotion, seeing Feng Tianxia.

The disciples of Spring Autumn Inner Sect were divided into four ranks: inner court, elite, core, and holy.

The holy disciples, however, were elusive figures rarely seen in person, their existence known mostly through rumors. Witnessing Feng Tianxia, a holy disciple, in the flesh left the spectators exhilarated.

“Feng Tianxia, when did your Tianxia Society start to force others to join you? Attacking those who refuse, seeking help when outmatched, and now, even the Alliance Leader shows up. Quite the spectacle,” Wang Hui mocked coldly.

Chen Fan was also shocked.

He didn’t expect this person to be Feng Tianxia, the leader of the Tianxia Society and a holy disciple.

The sheer aura emanating from Feng Tianxia indicated the vast difference between them. Even if Chen Fan unleashed all his strength, Feng Tianxia could kill him with a breath.

“Wang Hui, my Tianxia Society has never forced anyone! Certain individuals, however, exploit their status as Elder Wei's personal disciple to disregard my Tianxia Society, harm our members, and besmirch our reputation. As their leader, it is my duty to demand justice.

Wang Hui furrowed his brow and said, “Feng Tianxia, I can’t be bothered arguing with you. We both very well know the truth. Since you're here, take your members and depart.”

Feng Tianxia laughed and said, “Wang Hui, do you truly believe you can brush off this matter with a mere sentence? This sinful bastard killed my society members. This blood debt needs to be repaid with his blood.”

“What a joke. This is the Life and Death Hall, and they were in the life-and-death arena. Your society members died due to their incompetence in the arena against Chen Fan. Did you think you could disregard the rules of Life and Death Hall because you’re the leader of the Tianxia Society and a holy disciple?” Wang Hui said coldly.

Feng Tianxia said, “Since there are rules in the Life and Death Hall, why did you stop the fight earlier? Can you disregard the sect rules because you’re an elder? Or do you think my Tianxia Society is easy to bully and I, Feng Tianxia, am a pushover?”

A terrifying aura spread from Feng Tianxia, pressuring the people and nearly forcing them to their knees. The entire space froze at this moment.
