Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Intimidating the Heroes
Over a dozen figures flickered into view, appearing beside Mister Yang.
Leading the group of young men in their twenties was Yang Tianlin; they were clearly his die-hard followers in the Imperial Capital.
Yang Tianlin, dressed in sumptuous black brocade, with a stately appearance and the air of a gentleman, radiated the aura of a powerful individual.
“Young Master Yang has arrived!”
“The genius of the Yang family, Yang Tianlin!”
“It’s said that Young Master Yang is the most likely candidate to become the Empire’s royal son-in-law, a true talent!”
The crowd exclaimed in surprise, their gazes suddenly all shifting towards Yang Tianlin.
Elder Star Plucking restrained his power, then said with a faint smile, “Since Young Master Yang has made his move, it wouldn’t be fitting for this old man to intervene.”
“Lin’er, kill this wretched boy for me!” commanded the Family Head Yang furiously.
After glancing at the severely wounded experts, Yang Tianlin’s icy gaze finally swept towards Feng Wuchen and he said arrogantly, “You mustn’t be weak to have injured so many, it seems.”
“Big Brother Yang, his cultivation is inscrutable and deeply concealed; don’t be careless,” whispered one of the men.
“Ni Han and the rest aren’t making a move! They truly don’t take Mister Yang seriously,” another man said in a deep voice.
Yang Tianlin cast a cold glance at Ni Han and the others, and said, “We don’t need to bother with them. Once I become the royal son-in-law, the Ni family will be the first I crush!”
Yang Tianlin was the prodigy of the Yang family, with formidable strength, and was the most likely to succeed in securing the title of royal son-in-law for the Empire!
Regrettably, Yang Tianlin had no idea whom he was currently offending, and his dreams of becoming the royal son-in-law were likely to be dashed.
“Elder Star Plucking, you seem to take this young man quite seriously. I have never seen you exert your full strength against a youngster before,” said Mister Liu in a low voice, his gaze fixed on Elder Star Plucking.
Hearing this, Elder Star Plucking said gravely, “This child is extraordinary. I can’t see the depth of his cultivation, nor can I see through him. With so many Yuandan Realm experts injured by him, yet he remains unscathed, his strength is very great, perhaps no less than Young Master Yang’s. I have never before seen such a junior in the Imperial Capital. This child is probably not from the Imperial Capital. It’s a pity that he has offended Mister Yang.”
Mister Liu nodded, and said no more.
“Ha!”
“Buzzing!”
Yang Tianlin suddenly shouted loudly, crazily stimulating his True Yuan. The power of the Fourth Layer of the Yuan Dan Realm erupted completely as brilliant blue light flashed across his body, the ground shook, and web-like cracks spread outward.
The momentum of Yang Tianlin was incredibly frightening, like a wild wind sweeping through, causing the surrounding crowd and soldiers to retreat in shock and fear.
“Worthy of the Yang family’s genius! Young Master Yang’s strength is truly terrifying!”
“No wonder so many people are optimistic about Young Master Yang. With such formidable strength, the royal son-in-law position is as good as his!”
“With such a strong power, ordinary Fourth Layer Yuandan Realm cultivators are definitely not Young Master Yang’s match!”
The crowd exclaimed in amazement, utterly intimidated by the power Yang Tianlin unleashed!
“Young Master Yang’s strength is indeed not weak,” Elder Star Plucking nodded in approval.
With a cold gaze aimed at Feng Wuchen, Yang Tianlin coldly asked, “Have you considered the consequences of offending my father?”
Feng Wuchen scoffed, “Then why don’t you tell me what consequences I’ll face.”
“Bang!”
Yang Tianlin’s eyes darkened, and with a stomp on the ground, a booming explosion echoed as he launched forward with tremendous momentum, at an astonishing speed.
“Profound Grade mid-level martial technique! Vajra Divine Fist!”
Yang Tianlin went all out from the start, unleashing a powerful martial skill, and in the blink of an eye, he ferociously smashed his fist towards Feng Wuchen.
The fist flashed with blue light, containing extremely terrifying power; seeing such a fierce momentum, Feng Wuchen would unquestionably spit blood if struck.
Facing such a vicious assault from Yang Tianlin, Feng Wuchen remained calm, showing no sign of panic or fear.
“Overestimating oneself!” Ni Han shook his head.
“Boom!”
“Buzzing!”
As Yang Tianlin’s fist thundered down, Feng Wuchen reached out with his right hand, and with a booming sound, he grabbed Yang Tianlin’s fist. The terrifying force caused the ground to buzz and vibrate as cracks as thick as arms burst forth from beneath their feet.
“What?” Yang Tianlin’s face suddenly changed drastically, his eyes widened to their limits in sheer horror at the sight of Feng Wuchen.
“Hiss…”
The crowd of onlookers and soldiers inhaled sharply in fear and shock!
Yang Tianlin exerted his full strength and used a powerful martial technique, but he was unable to shake Feng Wuchen in the slightest!
Feng Wuchen blocked Yang Tianlin’s fierce attack without so much as furrowing his brow.
“How is this possible!” Yang Tianlin was immensely shocked, unable to believe that Feng Wuchen could so effortlessly block his full-force attack.
What shocked Yang Tianlin even more was that Feng Wuchen had not stimulated any True Yuan; he had blocked all his power with sheer physical strength alone.
Mister Liu stood dumbfounded, shockingly muttering, “I… I can’t believe it.”
“This young man’s strength really surpasses Young Master Yang’s! He must be at the Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm! Who in the world is this person?” Elder Star Plucking exclaimed in shock, his old face extremely moved.
Elder Star Plucking finally understood why Feng Wuchen was not afraid of them — because Feng Wuchen had the strength to back it up!
The surrounding crowd were so scared they couldn’t utter a word; their rigid faces seemed frozen in place.
Yang Tianlin’s dozen or so followers were all dumbstruck!
“Is this the consequence you mentioned?” asked Feng Wuchen coldly.
“You… Who exactly are you?” Yang Tianlin asked in terror, now feeling somewhat uneasy.
Feng Wuchen did not speak; he grabbed Yang Tianlin’s fist and arm and violently pulled back. Yang Tianlin’s face changed abruptly as his body suddenly leaned forward.
“Boom!”
“Pfft!”
As Yang Tianlin’s body leaned forward, Feng Wuchen threw a punch out. The violent power caused Yang Tianlin to spit out blood, his figure turning into a black streak shooting out.
“Lin’er!” Mr. Yang’s face changed dramatically, and he shouted in panic.
“Young master!” The soldiers were all extremely alarmed.
“What kind of power is this?” Yang Tianlin was terrified beyond measure, and the intense pain in his chest nearly suffocated him.
Yang Tianlin had not anticipated that Feng Wuchen’s strength would be so terrifying that, with the mere flesh of his body, he could deal such a heavy blow with a single punch!
If he were to use True Yuan, wouldn’t that be enough to kill him with a single punch?
Yang Tianlin, who had been sent flying, had sustained severe injuries!
With such terrifying strength that one punch could heavily injure someone at the Fourth Layer of the Yuandan Realm, even Elder Star Plucking was shocked, a hint of apprehension flashing across his old eyes.
The entire venue was as still as a carved wood, this outcome beyond everyone’s imagination.
“You little bastard! How dare you harm my son!” Mr. Yang was furious beyond measure, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins as he roared, “Kill him! What are you standing around for?”
Even with Mr. Yang’s fury, the soldiers and imperial guards present dared not rush forward.
Who would dare to seek death, knowing that a single punch had dealt serious injuries to the Yang family’s genius at the Fourth Layer of the Yuandan Realm?
If Elder Star Plucking himself was stunned, could these soldiers and guards possibly be stronger than Elder Star Plucking?
“Is there anyone else?” Feng Wuchen asked coldly, “You hold such a high office, are these all the people you have? You want to kill me, but even a thousand more would be useless; didn’t you want to make a big fuss? Then call over everyone you possibly can.”
“Blasphemy!” The severely injured Yang Tianlin gritted his teeth in anger, his fierce gaze staring menacingly at Ni Han and the others, and Yang Tianlin shouted, “Why aren’t you taking action!”
Hearing this, Ni Han replied coldly, “Your own death wish has nothing to do with the Ni family.”
Upon hearing Ni Han’s words, Mr. Liu frowned deeply, his gaze unavoidably taking another look at Feng Wuchen.
“The Ni family is right within the Imperial Capital. They would never stand by idly if Mr. Yang were in trouble. However, why is Ni Han so wary of this kid, and why isn’t the Family Head of the Ni family showing up?” Mr. Liu wondered, a sense of unease beginning to rise in his heart.
Elder Star Plucking regained his composure from his shock and then slowly stepped forward, saying, “Let this old man test your strength.”
“Buzz, buzz!”
As he finished speaking, a terrifying power burst forth once again, the ground shaking.
Elder Star Plucking was a powerful subordinate of Mr. Liu and, although wary of Feng Wuchen, had no other choice given that Mr. Yang held higher office.
“Old man, wouldn’t it be better to stay quiet and not speak?” Feng Wuchen said coldly as he glanced at Elder Star Plucking.
Elder Star Plucking stated gravely, “How dare you run wild in the Imperial Capital? Your defiance against your superiors is already a capital offense!”
“Defiance against my superiors? A capital offense?” Feng Wuchen’s face revealed a disdainful cold smile.
“Swoosh!”
Suddenly, Feng Wuchen’s figure disappeared with a flash, leaving behind a strong whirlwind where he had stood.
“Boom!”
“Pfft!”
The instant Feng Wuchen vanished, a bizarre incident occurred. Suddenly, with a loud explosion, Elder Star Plucking was seen spitting out blood, his body flying away like a cannonball, slamming into the city wall and creating a huge crater in it.
When Feng Wuchen appeared again, Elder Star Plucking had already sustained severe injuries.
Once more the scene grew deathly quiet, each person frightfully silent, all the fear-filled gazes falling upon Elder Star Plucking.
When had Feng Wuchen made his move? How was Elder Star Plucking struck and sent flying?
No one knew, no one saw it.
Elder Star Plucking at the Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm had been heavily injured by a single strike from Feng Wuchen!
If even the Fifth Level of the Yuandan Realm could not withstand a single strike from Feng Wuchen, how terrifying must that power be?
“The Grand Commander’s strength is becoming more and more fearsome,” Ni Han murmured with a frown, his eyes filled with deep wariness.
Since when did the Empire have such a terrifying young man?
Everyone present was frantically guessing which young man in the Empire could be this terrifying?
The answer to this question was not difficult to guess.
It had been just over a month since the Genius Battle Rankings ended, and Feng Wuchen’s name had already shaken the Empire.
Now everyone in the Empire knew that Feng Wuchen, the first place winner in the Genius Battle Rankings, was the Empire’s Grand Commander!
The Grand Commander, being the State Preceptor and the Royal Prince’s master, held a transcendent status in the Empire, second only to one and above ten thousand others!
Even the Empire’s Crown Prince had to be respectful in front of the Grand Commander.
What’s more terrifying is that under the Grand Commander’s leadership, the Empire’s strongest sect, Tianyun Sect, had been wiped out!
After the news spread, the entire Empire had come to know that it was Feng Wuchen who led the Imperial army to extinguish the Tianyun Sect!
At this moment, as the onlooking crowd and soldiers seemed to have guessed Feng Wuchen’s identity, they were all petrified.
“He… he is the Grand… Grand Commander!” someone gasped in terror, trembling all over, his face devoid of any color.
“The Grand Commander? He… He is the Empire’s Grand Commander?” Fear and despair flooded the faces of Mr. Yang and Mr. Liu as panic began to set in.
What do you think?
