# Chapter 1509: The Qi Family's Desperate Situation
The boundless fist intent surging from Qiao Chifeng's body dispelled everything, awakening him. Then, overwhelming demonic intent descended upon him once more. The divine spirit manifestation radiated a powerful and terrifying light. Suddenly, around Qiao Chifeng's body, a fist-light barrier formed, seemingly capable of shattering the heavens, breaking through everything.
"Chi!" The peerless sword formed by Lin Feng's arm descended at the same moment, tearing through that light barrier, piercing through the terrifying fist radiance, and continuing to slash toward Qiao Chifeng's body.
"Get lost!" Qiao Chifeng stomped his foot, and endless fist radiance surged from his body, as if countless divine fists were breaking through the air. But the hastily condensed fist radiance could not stop the power of that sword. All resistance became futile, completely destroyed and obliterated. However, Qiao Chifeng himself understood this in his heart, so as the endless fist radiance broke through the air, he himself withdrew, trying to evade this terrifying sword.
The sword annihilated everything, breaking through all obstacles. But seeing Qiao Chifeng's retreating figure, a terrifying demonic light suddenly flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. His palm trembled slightly, and instantly that sword suddenly changed direction, slashing out with sky-covering sword radiance, chopping toward Qiao Chifeng.
Qiao Chifeng could no longer gather his strength. He casually threw a punch, and then his palm shattered, blood dripping profusely. His body was struck by the sword radiance, flying tens of thousands of meters before barely stopping. His entire body was bathed in blood, with a long sword scar on his body, as if he had nearly been split in half and killed by the sword.
This scene sent a cold sweat down Qiao Chifeng's back. His face was slightly pale from the injury, with bean-sized beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks. But his eyes remained sharp, staring at Lin Feng's figure not far away. How could he possess so many abilities? And each one was extremely powerful.
A person's time and talent were limited. Lin Feng didn't seem very old. To cultivate powerful strength within a limited age, one must achieve extremely high accomplishments in a certain divine ability domain, spending most of their time on it. As for so-called highly talented geniuses, they could achieve astonishing accomplishments in a certain divine ability domain within a short time, or within the same time as others, they could obtain powerful abilities in different domains. But Lin Feng — his swordsmanship was terrifyingly powerful, his demonic path was heart-shaking, and he was even proficient in curse techniques, Death Essence, Demonic Essence, and many other essence powers, able to integrate them into his attacks.
Such talent was inevitably shocking. Not only Qiao Chifeng, but the other Holy City disciples also showed unusual expressions after seeing Lin Feng's power. In a small world, encountering such a monstrous young prodigy was truly somewhat terrifying.
Lin Feng did not pursue Qiao Chifeng to kill him. The Eight Wastelands and Nine Nether Lands were merely a small world of the strong. Only once every hundred years did an opportunity arise to leave and enter the Holy City Central Continent. Entering the great world had enormous restrictions. Conversely, stepping from the Holy City Central Continent into this small world was also far from easy. Otherwise, the Eight Wastelands and Nine Nether Lands would not only occasionally discover Holy City Central Continent disciples moving about here when the centennial period arrived.
Clearly, these people who came to the Eight Wastelands all had extraordinary family backgrounds and carried life-saving trump cards. Zhou Tianruo was like this, and Qiao Chifeng, being stronger than Zhou Tianruo, naturally had them too. There was no such deep hatred between him and Qiao Chifeng that required death. On the contrary, his hatred toward the Qi family was deep enough. And today, he came here to target the Qi family, not these Holy City disciples.
His figure flickered slightly. Lin Feng did not continue to pay attention to Qiao Chifeng but instead turned his gaze to the other Holy City disciples and spoke: "Today is the day for my Heavenly Terrace and the Qi family to settle our grievances. If you all wish to exchange martial arts, we can certainly arrange another time. I believe my senior brothers would be very willing. Martial arts exchanges don't need to be like life-and-death enemies here. Please, step aside!"
Lin Feng had already defeated two people. Qiao Chifeng's strength made him feel somewhat strained. Among the seven people standing before him, several were definitely not weaker than Qiao Chifeng. Even Gu Li was unfathomably deep. If they truly chose to fight as a group, even if the Heavenly Terrace people could win, they would certainly pay a heavy price. Lin Feng did not want the Heavenly Terrace senior brothers, who could easily crush the Qi family, to encounter any accidents at the hands of these Holy City disciples. It wasn't worth it. After experiencing the baptism of the Heaven-Seizing Gate, the Heavenly Terrace people might not be weaker than these people in the future. Lin Feng understood very well that these Holy City disciples were products nurtured under excellent resources.
"Good, it's settled!" Xia Tianfan nodded slightly to Lin Feng. Seeing Lin Feng's formidable combat power, there was indeed a trace of battle intent burning within him. But as Lin Feng thought, he and these Holy City disciples were not life-and-death enemies. Even if they wanted to exchange martial arts, there was no need to stand on absolute opposing sides. After the Heavenly Terrace and Qi family matter was settled, he could have a good battle with the Heavenly Terrace people.
"I withdraw!"
Two figures moved to the side, giving up their positions. After seeing Lin Feng's combat power, they were not confident they could defeat him. On the contrary, if they truly fought Lin Feng, they would likely be defeated to a large extent. Since that was the case, there was no need to lose face. Moreover, Lin Feng had given them a way out, so why not take it?
"I never planned to fight!" the handsome young man said with a low laugh, then also walked away.
Gu Li calmly glanced at Lin Feng. Interesting. Previously at Qi Yan's wedding banquet, he had somewhat looked down on Lin Feng. In his view, although Lin Feng had defeated a Ninth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm expert at that time, if he faced him, he would certainly be easily defeated. But every time he encountered Lin Feng afterward, his combat power always exceeded expectations. This made Gu Li find it increasingly interesting. Such a character was truly meaningful!
Soon, in the space before Lin Feng, only one person remained — Qi Yuchen. It was he who had brought everyone to the Qi family. But now, not a single one of these people gave him face; all abandoned him.
This made Qi Yuchen feel very displeased. Now facing the Heavenly Terrace crowd alone, especially after seeing Lin Feng's strength, Qi Yuchen still felt a trace of unease. He was caught in a dilemma. If he didn't retreat, would he face so many Heavenly Terrace experts alone? Even if he was very confident in his own strength, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to do that!
Lin Feng looked at Qi Yuchen standing alone and took a small step forward. This man was surnamed Qi. He had brought everyone to the Qi family, claiming to be half a host. And he knew those Holy City disciples. This inevitably made Lin Feng speculate. The Qi family seemed more extensive than he had imagined!
"Forget it!" Qi Yuchen thought to himself. His figure trembled slightly as he retreated to the side. There was no need to throw himself into this matter. Let's see how the Eastern Emperor and Qi Emperor would resolve it!
Seeing Qi Yuchen retreat, a faint smile appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. The corner of his mouth curled into a strange arc. He cast a slightly provocative gaze toward Qi Qianxing and Qi Emperor's direction. Now that these Holy City disciples had withdrawn, who in the Qi family could still accept the challenge?
Indeed, Qi Emperor and Qi Qianxing's expressions were not too pleasant. Lin Feng's strength had become even more terrifying. At this rate of progress, it was only a matter of time before he stepped into the Invincible Sovereign Lord realm. Moreover, Lin Feng might not even need to borrow the power of Law and Destiny to step into the Martial Emperor realm. Just Lin Feng alone, if allowed to grow freely, would become a huge threat.
"Qi Qianxing, is the Qi family going to arrange someone to accept the challenge? If no one accepts, then according to the rules I set, the twelve disciples of Heavenly Terrace will directly enter the Qi family to sweep through!" At this moment, Mu Chen's indifferent voice suddenly rang out, causing the expressions of the Qi family members to stiffen.
"Yu Emperor, are you bringing the Heavenly Terrace people to commit inhumane acts in front of all the emperors?" Dan Emperor stood at a corner of the void, speaking coldly.
Yu Emperor raised his head and glanced faintly at Dan Emperor, saying: "When Qi Emperor, Heavenly Dragon Emperor, and Sikong Martial Emperor descended upon Heavenly Terrace to attack my small world, why didn't you, Dan Emperor, ask them about it? Now, from what position are you accusing me?"
Dan Emperor's lips moved, but he couldn't find words to refute Yu Emperor. With so many emperors descending here, any words seemed somewhat pale. If their side were stronger, they wouldn't be so passive. He really didn't know how Yu Emperor managed to invite so many Martial Emperors to come together.
"Moreover, Dan Emperor, your words are insulting the Qi family for having no one. Heavenly Terrace only has twelve disciples!" Yu Emperor revealed a meaningful faint smile, leaving Dan Emperor even more speechless. Twelve disciples of Heavenly Terrace, yet they rendered the entire vast Qi family powerless, as if Heavenly Terrace had taken a great advantage.
"Mu Chen, give the Qi family half an incense stick's time. If they still can't produce someone to accept the challenge, then let your junior brothers experience the strength of the Qi family's heroes. Remember, our Heavenly Terrace is not a bloodthirsty sect. Those below the Heavenly Martial Realm will not be killed!" Yu Emperor's indifferent voice made everyone's expressions stiffen. Below the Heavenly Martial Realm... meaning everyone above the Heavenly Martial Realm would be wiped out. In that case, the Qi family would truly become an empty shell!
"Old Imperial Ancestor, are you sure you want to interfere?" The Eastern Emperor's gaze swept toward the Undying Heavenly Palace's old Imperial Ancestor. The Eastern Emperor understood very well that what determined both sides' combat power was the Martial Emperors, but the real deciding factor was actually at the Mid-rank Emperor level. If the Undying Heavenly Palace's old Imperial Ancestor withdrew, even if they were slightly fewer in number of Martial Emperors, he could still sweep the other side.
"In today's battle, if Martial Emperors want to fight, then fight Martial Emperors. If Martial Emperors participate in the younger generation's conflict, all emperors will jointly strike them down!" The old Imperial Ancestor used a single voice to express his stance. The Qi family was almost forced into a desperate situation!
