# Chapter 1550: Three Times Humiliating Zhou Tianruo
Seeing Lin Feng's strange smile, the purple-robed Martial Emperor's expression froze there, feeling that something was off about Lin Feng.
Qi Yuchen's gaze also fell on Lin Feng, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes. Lin Feng, daring to step onto the battle platform, was he really seeking death?
Not only Qi Yuchen, but also those who knew Lin Feng—Zhou Tianruo, Qiao Chifeng, Xia Tianfan, and others—all cast their gazes toward Lin Feng. When they had gone to the Eight Wastelands, they had witnessed Lin Feng's domineering nature. But now that Lin Feng was under the control of the Mind Confusion Lord of Qi Tian Fortress, how could he still dare to step onto the battle platform? Was he not afraid that the people of Qi Tian Fortress would take his life?
Lin Feng's eyes swept across the crowd, a faint smile on his face. Divine Feather Martial Emperor had told him that leaving in such a dejected manner would be too stifling.
Originally, Lin Feng had planned to hide within Qi Tian Fortress, continuously cultivating to increase his strength, and then find an opportunity to leave later. However, since Divine Feather Martial Emperor had said so, if he, Lin Feng, didn't cause a good commotion, he would be letting down the anger he had been holding in his heart these past days. Divine Feather Martial Emperor actually dared to let him do this—what did Lin Feng have to worry about? Divine Feather Martial Emperor was an expert who had arrived together with Inverse Dust Martial Emperor.
Although Lin Feng didn't know exactly who Divine Feather Martial Emperor was, it was clear that his status was no lower than that of Inverse Dust Martial Emperor!
"Lin Feng, get down here!" At this moment, the purple-robed Martial Emperor's expression had completely turned cold. Lin Feng's actions had exceeded the limits of what he could tolerate.
"Sir, why be so angry? Our Qi Tian Fortress has many experts, but on the battle platform, there is only a motley crew. This truly damages the reputation of our Qi Tian Fortress. I hope you will calm your anger." Lin Feng looked at the purple-robed Martial Emperor and spoke with a faint smile. That smile no longer carried the dullness and gloom of before, but was replaced by confidence and pride, as if he should be standing there, as if he deserved to enjoy this brilliance.
The purple-robed Martial Emperor's face was ugly. Even Qi Yunsheng and the other Azure Emperor Mountain cultivators had cold expressions. They still knew the rules of Qi Tian Fortress. Lin Feng was someone controlled by the Mind Confusion Lord, and his actions had to follow the arrangements of Qi Tian Fortress. Qi Tian Fortress would not give them any opportunity to leave. But this Lin Feng seemed to have slipped out of control. Could it be that the Mind Confusion Lord's control over him wasn't strong enough?
Lin Feng slowly stepped forward, his gaze falling on the direction of Question Heaven Fortress, where Inverse Dust Martial Emperor was located.
"Senior, on the battle platform, could you give me some time? It would also serve to prove what I have said!" Lin Feng said loudly, his voice upright and straightforward.
Seeing Lin Feng directly approach Inverse Dust Martial Emperor, the crowd thought to themselves that this man was quite clever. Given Inverse Dust Martial Emperor's status, it would be very difficult for him to refuse a young cultivator's request to prove his strength on the battle platform.
"Agreed." Inverse Dust Martial Emperor had a faint smile on his face. Just as the crowd had thought, he could not refuse such a request from a junior, nor was there any need to refuse.
Seeing that Inverse Dust Martial Emperor had nodded, the people of Qi Tian Fortress had even uglier expressions, especially the purple-robed Martial Emperor. His body was even trembling slightly. How outrageous!
Today, his face had been completely lost because of Lin Feng. Moreover, if Lin Feng was truly valued by Azure Emperor Mountain, things would become even more troublesome.
"Thank you, Senior!" Lin Feng slightly bowed to Inverse Dust Martial Emperor to show respect, his smile warm and brilliant.
Then, his gaze fell upon the eighteen young experts standing in front of the nine corridor passages on the battle platform. Among these top eighteen seats, some forces occupied several positions, but none were completely empty. Each of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses had at least one person. However, Question Heaven Fortress, Medicine King Immortal Palace, and Thunder Punishment Immortal Palace had a few more, while the other forces only had one each.
Lin Feng's eyes moved across the crowd, and then his gaze landed on the direction of Great Zhou Immortal Palace.
"Zhou Tianruo!" Lin Feng's smile was rich, but his pupils were cold, carrying a strong sense of irony.
An ancient saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late, ten years is not too long. But that is merely self-consolation. When one truly has the ability to take revenge, they do it immediately. And Lin Feng, when he had the opportunity to take revenge, would never let that opportunity slip away. Zhou Tianruo's strength was insufficient, and after being humiliated by Lin Feng, he had called his Martial Emperor elder brother Zhou Tianxiao to kill him. How could Lin Feng forget that?
"Is your Great Zhou Immortal Palace so lacking in talent that a waste like you can stand up here?" Lin Feng spoke indifferently. Instantly, everyone from Great Zhou Immortal Palace had their expressions freeze. Sharp gazes pierced through the void toward Lin Feng, but Lin Feng ignored all of them, slowly walking toward Zhou Tianruo.
Seeing Lin Feng approaching him, Zhou Tianruo's face was very ugly. He was somewhat afraid of Lin Feng. After being humiliated twice by the same person, it was difficult to muster much courage in front of that person. Zhou Tianruo had been humiliated by Lin Feng twice, and the second time was even worse and more violent than the first. So, Zhou Tianruo had asked Zhou Tianxiao to deal with Lin Feng for him.
"You now have two choices. The first is to roll back to the viewing platform of Great Zhou Immortal Palace on your own. The second is for me to blast you back!" Lin Feng stopped in front of Zhou Tianruo, his arrogant words causing the crowd's eyes to stiffen. Let Zhou Tianruo roll back on the ground? Or, I'll blast you back—choose one!
Just as everyone expected Zhou Tianruo to explode in rage and kill Lin Feng with his Golden Sacred Sword, they saw Zhou Tianruo was unusually quiet. His fists were clenched tightly, his Golden Sacred Qi condensed but not dispersed, and his face was slightly twisted with anger. Yet he didn't move at all. This gave everyone a strange feeling—was Zhou Tianruo afraid of Lin Feng?
"Roll, or I'll make a move?" Lin Feng said mockingly. Zhou Tianruo's entire body blazed with dazzling Golden Sacred Qi, making him look as if he were clad in a suit of Golden Sacred Qi armor, radiant beyond measure. Even if Zhou Tianruo feared Lin Feng, he could not possibly roll back to Great Zhou Immortal Palace. What kind of humiliation would that be? How could he bear it? Therefore, he had no choice but to fight.
On the viewing platform of Great Zhou Immortal Palace, Zhou Tianxiao's eyes turned golden, as if trying to pierce through Lin Feng. His face was ugly. Although Zhou Tianruo's strength had increased considerably compared to before, he was probably still unable to cross the hurdle that was Lin Feng. Not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of mental state. Last time, he had humiliated Lin Feng, which had calmed Zhou Tianruo's mind somewhat. But now that Lin Feng had appeared again, if he were to humiliate Zhou Tianruo once more, he feared that Zhou Tianruo's martial arts heart would be shaken from then on.
Just as he was thinking, Lin Feng had already taken a step forward. This step was like a powerful whirlwind, with Void Essence and Wind Essence moving together. The footwork seemed to have peculiar patterns, and in an instant, his figure appeared before Zhou Tianruo.
"Zhou Tianruo!" Lin Feng let out a sharp shout. Zhou Tianruo's eyes involuntarily looked up at Lin Feng, and then a pair of Death Demon Eyes pierced through his pupils, descending together with a curse, causing Zhou Tianruo's life force to be gradually drained away. His divine sense trembled violently, and the Golden Sacred Qi on his body was shaken.
"Boom crack!" The Heavenly Derivation Sacred Art manifested a pitch-black giant sword. Within the giant sword was an incomparable heaviness, with Earth Essence and Demonic Dao Essence's weight fused into it, coupled with a seven-hundred-fold momentum, making the black giant sword seem as if it would forcefully explode the void. That terrifying sense of heaviness suffocated Zhou Tianruo, and his Golden Sacred Qi was completely crushed, as if it had lost all its sharpness.
Zhou Tianruo's eyes were pierced by the Death Demon Light, and he was afflicted by the power of the curse. His life force was being drained, and his strength was instantly and absolutely suppressed. Now, with the black giant sword pressing down with terrifying might, he was immediately covered in cold sweat, his face pale. But Zhou Tianruo's Golden Sacred Qi still roared defiantly as a massive Golden Sacred Sword condensed and crashed toward the dark giant sword.
With a loud bang, the battle platform beneath Zhou Tianruo's feet trembled. His body was forcibly crushed down by this terrifying force, one knee hitting the ground, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Such violent power!" The crowd's hearts trembled slightly. This man had suddenly appeared on the battle platform, walking out from Qi Tian Fortress, clad in purple robes. He should be someone from a small world controlled by Qi Tian Fortress.
"Every ten thousand years, the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses compete for control of the small worlds, each going all out to gain control. The benefits involved are enormous. The people who come out of the small worlds are the most talented batch from that world, and their talent even surpasses the geniuses of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses. Just like what is happening before our eyes, Zhou Tianruo is a genius from Great Zhou Immortal Palace, yet he was crushed by absolute force by the other party. It has to be said that many of the people who come out of these small worlds are extremely monstrous."
Among the crowd, there were many who knew the situation. In this border region connected to the small worlds, many people knew a great deal about the small worlds.
"You are still this weak." Lin Feng fiercely kicked Zhou Tianruo's body, and Zhou Tianruo's body flew up, heading toward the direction of Great Zhou Immortal Palace. Lin Feng returned the humiliation that Zhou Tianxiao had given him back to Zhou Tianruo. Of course, if one day he had the strength to return it to Zhou Tianxiao, he would not hesitate to crush Zhou Tianxiao as well!
Zhou Tianxiao had already stepped forward, catching Zhou Tianruo's body, and his cold, golden, icy gaze stabbed toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at Zhou Tianxiao and said calmly, "In the past, Zhou Tianruo was humiliated by me twice. You, with your Martial Emperor strength, came to suppress me, wanting to teach me what martial arts means. I want to say, if I am not worthy to speak of martial arts, then under your Great Zhou Immortal Palace's Martial Emperors, who is worthy?"
Hearing this, the crowd understood. No wonder Lin Feng had targeted Zhou Tianruo. It turned out that in the small world, he had clashed with Zhou Tianruo, but Zhou Tianruo was no match, so he had his elder brother Zhou Tianxiao take revenge on Lin Feng. That was why this scene was happening now.
In the world of martial arts, there is no right or wrong—only strength speaks. Zhou Tianxiao was a Martial Emperor, so he naturally looked down on Lin Feng. But Lin Feng stood on the battle platform, looking down on the younger generation of Great Zhou Immortal Palace as having no one worthy. I am not worthy to speak of martial arts—then who among the younger generation of your Great Zhou Immortal Palace is!
