Chapter 276: Half-Body Combo First
The atmosphere was incredibly tense and ominous.
Ren Feng stood outside the villa, while all the other experts not far away had fallen to the ground, completely silent.
Although it was still late summer and should have been somewhat hot, it felt as cold as a winter's day.
Ren Feng's words were even more arrogant, leaving not a shred of mercy.
Inside the villa, silence fell. Ren Feng squinted his eyes; he knew the opponent was right at the door.
"Not coming out?" Ren Feng wore a cold smile: "Then I'll go in."
Just as Ren Feng was about to lift his foot, suddenly, a cold snort came from inside, followed by a huge Qi Force that shattered the door and directly surged toward Ren Feng's face!
To cultivate Qi Force meant that this person was at least at the Celestial level.
Ren Feng immediately assessed the opponent's level. Qi Force is a broad term; the True Qi that Ren Feng cultivated could also be called Qi Force, but martial arts vary greatly across regions. However, at this level, Qi appears in the body, so it's all referred to as Qi Force.
The palm wind coming directly at him was incredibly strong, seeming as if it wanted to flip Ren Feng over.
Appearing before Ren Feng was a sinister, short old man; he looked like an Asian but was not from Huaxia, probably from Southeast Asia.
Ren Feng showed no fear on his face and similarly raised his hand, directly meeting the opponent's palm with his own.
As the palms clashed, it was as if terrible Qi Forces collided, and the whirlwind directly blew the dust on the ground around them clean.
"I'm a four-star master; I may not actually fear you, King of Mercenaries."
The old man's face was grim, while Ren Feng's face was calm and collected.
The two were madly exchanging palms, their internal True Qi and Qi Force locked in competition.
The old man's internal Qi Force was being desperately drawn out, pressing toward Ren Feng. At this moment, he felt as if he were suppressing Ren Feng.
Looking at the nearby Ren Feng with a sinister gaze, the old man coldly said: "Since you've chosen to oppose us, I'll cut off your head and bring it back to Qingdaofu. That way, I can be promoted to a five-star master."
"Is that all the strength you have?"
Ren Feng asked calmly.
The old man was taken aback, as a cold smile appeared on Ren Feng's lips: "I haven't even exerted my strength yet; thinking you can take my head is overly ambitious."
As he finished speaking, an enormous amount of True Qi, as if devastatingly overwhelming like an Inverted Sea, burst out from his palm.
At that moment, the True Qi, unstoppable like wildfire, seemed poised to destroy anything in its path, and it looked like the old man's arm couldn't block it at all.
The True Qi directly penetrated from the palm to the arm, and at that instant, the old man felt as if his right arm had been swept by catastrophe; all the tendons, along with the bones, were shattered together!
"Ah!"
The old man let out a distorted cry of pain, unable to withstand the tremendous force, and was blasted back into the villa.
Ren Feng said calmly: "Four-star master? Just around Celestial level twenty at most, and you want to kill me?"
The old man, his face twisted, flew out again, and he had only met Ren Feng and had already lost an arm, with his combat power greatly diminished.
"Do you think just because I've lost an arm, I can't fight you?"
The old man's face was sinister.
Ren Feng stood calmly at the villa's entrance: "I'll let you strike first."
"In that case, I won't be polite."
The old man's aura rallied once more, as if gathering strength for a full-force strike.
Ren Feng's expression remained unchanged, waiting for him to strike.
After all, facing a full-force bite from an ant wouldn't require more than a finger to crush.
Ren Feng's strength currently slightly surpassed the Celestial level but had not reached the next realm.
Dealing with these Celestial level masters was really no pressure.
This was Ren Feng's confidence.
"I won't go easy on you. Are you ready?"
"Go ahead, I'm going to win anyway."
"Alright, then I'll fulfill your wish!"
Suddenly, from the old man's left hand appeared a swirling small round bead, which he tossed to the ground.
At that moment, the small round bead exploded, and black smoke began to spread.
Ren Feng frowned and stepped back, preparing to strike, but found that the old man had not attacked.
He looked up and found the old man was rapidly fleeing in another direction.
What the—what is this?
Ren Feng was momentarily stunned—was this an escape?
At that moment, a sinister smile appeared on the old man's face. Luckily, he had distracted him earlier; otherwise, he wouldn't even have had a chance to escape.
He never expected Ren Feng's strength to be so terrifying. With such strength, only a five-star master could stand a chance against him.
He had to flee quickly; this hideout was as good as destroyed.
But suddenly, a faint voice sounded beside his ear: "Where do you think you're going?"
The old man's heart tightened, almost reflexively intending to strike, but then he felt a pain in his body.
"Get down!"
Ren Feng's icy voice came, and then the old man felt a huge force hit him, his whole body uncontrollably hurled back.
"Cough, cough!"
The old man coughed, blood trickling from his mouth. He looked up, seeing Ren Feng walking toward him.
"No need to struggle, you won't get a chance to run, because you're still of use to me."
Ren Feng stepped on the old man's chest, and the immense force made him spit out another mouthful of old blood.
"From now on, I ask and you answer, any objections?"
Ren Feng's expression was very cold.
The old man sneered, "King of Mercenaries, you've offended us, and your days are numbered. Don't think you're untouchable just because you carry the title of King of Mercenaries. Let me tell you, those more powerful than you..."
Slap!
Before he could finish, Ren Feng slapped the old man across the face.
Then he kicked him up, tying him to a tree nearby.
"Today, I happen to be in the mood, so I'll have some fun with you."
Ren Feng smiled, then sealed his acupoints with True Qi and got a branch.
"Is that all?"
The old man sneered coldly.
"Of course not."
Ren Feng smiled brightly, "Perhaps you don't know, but I have hundreds of ways to torment someone. I plan to take my time with you."
As he finished speaking, the old man felt a chill below his waist, realizing his pants had been ripped off.
"W-What are you doing?"
The old man was surprisingly flustered.
"Oh, don't worry, I'm not going to spank you. Let me first introduce you to these branches; they contain a substance that greatly attracts ants."
Ren Feng grinned brightly, using True Qi to extract the substance, then sprinkling it on the old man's backside and legs.
"First, you'll experience the half-body package, and then it's the full-body package." Ren Feng stood before the old man, his smile radiant.
"By the way, I forgot to remind you. I tapped a few of your acupoints, which enhances your senses a hundred times. When the ants start biting, I guarantee you'll never forget that feeling."
The old man looked at Ren Feng's smile, and suddenly, his heart trembled.
This was a demon.
