Chapter 815: Chapter 837: Battle Against Qingtian City’s Powerhouses (Part 1)

The entire Qingtian City became tense as Jia Taibai, leading the experts of the City Lord’s Mansion and the leaders of several other great families, quickly hurried outside the city walls.

The shocking deeds of Chu Linfeng and Xiao Qiang soon spread throughout Qingtian City, attracting many people to rush to the city gates, creating a crowded and bustling scene.

Both the Lord of Netherworld and Elder Yao heard about a young man and a middle-aged man who had captured the City Lord’s son and killed several young masters of great families. Elder Yao was not particularly curious about this incident, considering it the act of a couple of delirious individuals. Since it had alarmed the City Lord’s Mansion and several great families, he believed the matter would soon be settled.

The only outcome for them would be execution, and this commotion was not worth much of his attention—better to enjoy a cup of tea at home.

The Lord of Netherworld thought differently. His intuition told him that this was the work of Chu Linfeng; only he could do such a crazed thing.

"Didn’t expect this guy to recover so quickly; he’s a monster indeed. I hope he can successfully defeat the experts in Qingtian City this time, saving me the trouble," murmured the Lord of Netherworld.

Princess Yiyi and Lin Ruoxi were still asleep, exhausted from the battle with Chu Linfeng, feeling as if their bodies were falling apart. Even wanting to get up was beyond their power.

Meanwhile, Chu Linfeng and Xiao Qiang were quietly standing in mid-air, accompanied by Jia Bao, who was now beaten to a pulp, looking less than human.

Soon after, City Lord Jia Taibai and several patriarchs from other families, along with some powerful experts, reached the city gate. Upon seeing Chu Linfeng and Xiao Qiang in the air, they all wore expressions of anger.

One patriarch, unable to bear the pain of losing his son, rushed into the air towards Chu Linfeng and Xiao Qiang, yelling, "Kid, give me back my son’s life!"

The moment he arrived, he unleashed a powerful Martial Skill attack, causing violent Energy Fluctuations in the sky above Qingtian City. The patriarch’s strength was about the Third Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm—insignificant in the eyes of both Chu Linfeng and Xiao Qiang.

"Xiao Qiang, I’ll leave this guy to you. Let’s see how many breaths it takes you to kill him. Don’t disappoint me," said Chu Linfeng lightly.

Xiao Qiang immediately showed a displeased expression and remarked, "Why is it always me who acts, while you just watch from behind? Isn’t that unfair?"

"Oh, then I’ll handle this guy, and you can take a rest. City Lord Jia Taibai, being a Fifth Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm expert, should be your responsibility later, right? You wouldn’t have any objections to that!" chuckled Chu Linfeng.

"Damn it, you actually want me to deal with a Fifth Layer expert? You’re asking for my life, aren’t you? I guess I’ll handle this guy, and you can take a break," replied Xiao Qiang with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Qiang suffocating, Chu Linfeng smiled and said, "You’re the one asking me to rest, so don’t complain later. I’ve been eager to see how much your strength has improved over the years."

Xiao Qiang easily withstood the attack from the patriarch, saying, "The great families of Qingtian City seem to have a reputation for nothing. I thought they’d be formidable, but it turns out they’re just this pathetic."

After Xiao Qiang finished speaking, Jia Taibai, the City Lord, and two other patriarchs, along with the experts they brought, flew into the air and gathered around the attacking patriarch. Xiao Qiang didn’t attack him at this moment.

"Our Qingtian City bears no grudges against you. Why must you resort to such brutality? Even if my child has offended the two of you, I ask for your forgiveness, considering my scant face," pleaded Jia Taibai. "Although you are a Fourth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm expert, I pay you no mind. As City Lord, I have always been eager to recruit talents, never expecting such a thing to happen.

I only hope you will return my son, Jia Bao, to me. As for your grievances with the other patriarchs, I will not intervene. You can think about it," proposed Jia Taibai.

"Returning your son is simple: you just need to submit to him. If you agree, I’ll release him immediately; if not, then death is his only fate," said Xiao Qiang nonchalantly.

Jia Taibai, hearing Xiao Qiang’s words, became furious: "How dare you threaten the City Lord? No one has ever dared talk to the City Lord like this in Qingtian City. Although I love recruiting talents, those who are disloyal to me end up in only one place—disappeared from this world."

Chu Linfeng laughed and said, "Who do you think you are, acting presumptuous before me? A mere Fifth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm ant has credentials to recruit? Let me make it clear today: those willing to submit to me may stay in Qingtian City; those wishing to test my strength will face only death."

"Hahaha! Kid, are you tired of living? You dare boast like that before the City Lord? Not even the Lord of Netherworld would say such words, let alone a yellow-haired kid reeking of youth. I grant you three breaths, and if you don’t release my son, I’ll kill you both right here," laughed Jia Taibai.

"City Lord, why waste words with this kid? Since they’ve killed my son, even if the City Lord wants to spare them, I won’t let them leave alive. Today, I want to see just how formidable a Fourth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm expert really is," another patriarch could not help but say, his eyes flaming with rage, eager to kill the two of them on the spot.

"Since you fail to recognize the situation, I won’t waste words either. You might as well all come at me and let me see just how powerful Qingtian City’s experts are. I recall someone wanting to contest the Lord of Netherworld for the Clan Leader position. Without sufficient strength, that’s impossible!" Chu Linfeng laughed, his face showing disdain.

"Kid, you’re seeking death!" The patriarch finally could not take it anymore and launched a palm strike towards Chu Linfeng.

Chu Linfeng rapidly unleashed the Demon-Breaking Fist, and immediately, the sound of Wind Thunder reverberated in everyone’s ears, the Attack Power matching that of the Qingtian City family’s family leader.

The crowd below erupted, witnessing Chu Linfeng attack the patriarch, believing he was just smashing an egg against a rock—a reckless, foolish act.

"Who is that kid, daring to attack the Yang Family’s patriarch, a Fourth Layer Venerable Martial Realm expert? It seems he won’t survive this attack."

"This boy, daring to boldly face our Qingtian City’s super experts, must have exceptional strength. Maybe he’ll escape from the Yang Family’s patriarch’s hands?"

"You’re all wrong. I happen to know that young man; do you know who he is? He’s the son-in-law of the Lord of Netherworld from Jiuyou City, reportedly possessing terrifying strength. Now that he’s boldly stepping forward, I’m sure he’s ready."

The crowd was full of discussions, some worrying about Chu Linfeng, while others deemed him deserving of death. Right then, Chu Linfeng and the Yang Family patriarch’s attacks collided instantly...
