# Chapter 2061: Battle Ji Shang Again
"Killing an Emperor!" The surrounding crowd watched as the Emperor's body was torn apart, their gazes instantly freezing in place. They had anticipated that this person's combat power would be formidable, that even if the Ji family's Emperor could win, it would be a brutal battle, a spectacular showdown. Yet they never expected the battle to be so violent.
The Ji family's experts were all stunned, staring at the Emperor torn to shreds, unable to believe their eyes. Such attack power...
But Lin Feng gave them no time to think. His black robe billowing, he stepped forward. Immediately, a Ji family expert's face turned pale as he roared, "Flee!"
"Dong!" Lin Feng took a step, his body shooting forward like a terrifying black arrow, directly at that man. His pitch-black fist swept out, and with a booming explosion, that man's body also shattered into pieces, unable to take even a single step. The speed was too fast.
The other Ji family experts felt as if the end of the world had come, their faces ashen white. That speed... no one could escape.
The crowd only saw a black phantom flickering through the void. With each punch thrown, an expert was crushed to dust. Soon, in that space, only Lin Feng remained standing, the veil beneath his bamboo hat gently fluttering. Yet everyone felt a bone-chilling cold. In that brief instant, every Ji family expert who had come was slaughtered, not a single one left.
Lin Feng's figure drifted, then landed atop the shattered wine tavern. He spoke calmly, "I will wait for Ji Shang at the Emperor List Questioning Grounds for three days. If Ji Shang does not come to fight, he might as well have his Enfeoffed King title stripped away. That title would be a disgrace to the word 'King.'"
With that, Lin Feng clasped his hands behind his back, stepped out, and departed, heading in the direction of the Emperor List Questioning Grounds. He had actually chosen that location to battle Ji Shang.
"This guy kills so many Ji family experts and still dares to challenge Ji Shang? How insane." The crowd's hearts trembled. They too flickered and moved toward the Emperor List Questioning Grounds. With such a challenge, if Ji Shang did not show, he would lose all face.
"I think this person might be a genius from some powerful force who has been in seclusion training, only now emerging. That's why he directly challenges Ji Shang, choosing the Emperor List Questioning Grounds as the venue. He wants to make a name for himself in one battle, rising straight to the top of the Emperor List."
"Once he defeats Ji Shang, he'll become the number two on the Emperor List. I wonder how the Ji family will handle this—will they deal with him directly, or let Ji Shang come out to fight?"
The crowd buzzed with discussion. The news quickly spread throughout Holy City Central Continent, reaching first the ancient saint clan, the Ji family.
At the Emperor List Questioning Grounds, since it was not a questioning day, there were naturally no questioning platforms. But this vast, open area stretched all the way to the Imperial Palace. Lin Feng sat at the location where the questioning platform would be, his expression calm as he waited quietly. He believed that what happened at the tavern would soon spread, causing quite a stir in Holy City Central Continent. He wanted to see, under these circumstances, whether Ji Shang would come out or not.
Some people followed Lin Feng, their figures scattered around, also waiting quietly. How would the Ji family handle this?
From the direction of the Imperial Palace, a group of figures drifted over, flickering through the air. A few of them were particularly eye-catching.
"Pei Donglai, Feng Shentian—these are the geniuses from the previous generation of the Emperor List. They're getting stronger and stronger. In a few more years, the current generation's Emperor List figures like Chu Chunqiu and Ji Shang will probably leave the Emperor List and step into the Emperor Realm." The crowd thought to themselves as they watched. On the path of martial arts, geniuses emerge one after another, each wave pushing the previous forward.
This martial world never lacked geniuses. The black-robed figure sitting there calmly was yet another rising star.
In the distance, another figure rolled in. This person was also draped in a black robe, exuding a cold, sinister aura. It was none other than Gui Li.
"It's Gui Li. During the last Emperor List Questioning, Gui Li suffered consecutive defeats and left directly. Now, he's finally appeared again."
"It seems he also heard that someone wants to challenge Ji Shang, so he came out. It's been a long time since the last Emperor List Questioning. These people are finally active again. Shi Yunfeng is here too." The crowd's gazes turned to another direction, where the stone man Shi Yunfeng descended.
"Unexpectedly, there's such a big commotion. News travels fast. Of course, this is also because of Ji Shang's name. If this person weren't challenging Ji Shang, it probably wouldn't have this kind of impact." The people spoke. Soon, this usually quiet Emperor List Questioning Grounds became exceptionally lively.
"The Ji family has arrived, but Ji Shang didn't come." At this moment, in the distance, a group of figures rolled in. It was the Ji family. Several Emperor Realm experts had arrived, their auras fierce as they stared at Lin Feng with cold expressions.
"Was it you who killed my Ji family's people?" An Emperor Realm expert stared coldly at Lin Feng and spoke.
"After Ji Shang defeats me, killing me would be fine. But if you make a move now, the Ji family's face won't need to be saved anymore." Lin Feng replied coldly, causing the Ji family experts' expressions to freeze. Their gazes inadvertently swept over the surrounding crowd. With such a commotion, if they, as powerful figures, directly killed Lin Feng, the Ji family would indeed lose all face.
"If you seek death, how could my Ji family not grant your wish?" A Ji family expert said coldly. Their figures flickered, and from behind them in the distance, a figure stepped forward. With each step, terrifying air currents rolled forward like a fierce wind, overwhelmingly powerful. A dreadful Emperor might spread, as if it would crush heaven and earth.
This was an Emperor Realm expert. His gaze was sharp, domineering and unmatched, as if it could pierce through a person's eyes. The majesty in his eyes was terrifying to the extreme, as if it would shatter the void itself.
The newcomer: Ji Shang!
Ji Shang, Emperor Realm.
"Ji Shang has broken through to the Great Emperor Realm. No wonder those Ji family experts were so confident, saying the black-robed man was seeking death."
"Enfeoffed King Ji Shang, stepping into the Emperor Realm, his strength has multiplied several times. Although the black-robed man's combat power is terrifying, he is still at the High-rank Emperor Realm. He will surely die. There's no way he can defeat Ji Shang."
The crowd was quite shaken. Ji Shang had finally stepped into the Emperor Realm. As expected, he and Ying Cheng were the two great geniuses of Holy City Central Continent, one after the other entering the Great Emperor Realm.
An Enfeoffed King who had stepped into the Great Emperor Realm, even if he had just entered, would have terrifying combat power. How could an Emperor Realm cultivator fight him? This was the common thought of everyone.
After all, Ji Wang Shang, Enfeoffed King of the academy, had few rivals even when he was still at the Martial Emperor Realm. Chu Chunqiu and Lin Feng were both monstrous geniuses, but with Ji Shang stepping into the Great Emperor Realm, even they probably couldn't fight him anymore.
Ji Shang, with his Emperor Realm, declared his powerful return. He wanted to wash away the shame of his two previous defeats. Enfeoffed Kings all had extraordinary talent, at least able to reach the peak of Heavenly Emperor Realm achievements.
Finally, Ji Shang stepped forward and arrived before Lin Feng. His expression was cold, his gaze looking down from above at the black-robed Lin Feng. He said coldly, "I have entered the Emperor Realm and should not have to personally kill you. But since you killed my Ji family's experts, you deserve death. Considering that you killed them with your own strength, cripple your own cultivation and scram."
Ji Shang's voice was calm, as if giving Lin Feng a chance to live—cripple his cultivation.
But at this moment, beneath the black veil, a head slightly lifted. A pair of pitch-black pupils seemed to pierce through space, colliding directly with Ji Shang's gaze.
Ji Shang, Great Emperor Realm. No wonder he spoke so arrogantly.
"You were once at the peak of High-rank Emperor Realm and were defeated by a Mid-rank Emperor. Now that you're at the Great Emperor Realm, you dare to speak such arrogant words. Your memory really isn't that good." Lin Feng's calm voice carried a hint of hoarseness, laced with sarcasm. The Ji family experts frowned. This man really talked big.
The crowd also showed strange expressions. This man, seeing Ji Shang had entered the Great Emperor Realm, was still so arrogant. Did he have such strong confidence to fight Ji Shang at the Great Emperor Realm?
Killing intent radiated from Ji Shang. Lin Feng's words were the greatest shame of his life.
"In the future, I will wash away that shame with Lin Feng's life. But today, I'll destroy you first." Ji Shang said indifferently. Then, Lin Feng's body slowly rose, lifting his head to look at Ji Shang.
"Dong!" Ji Shang stepped forward. Instantly, Emperor might suppressed heaven and earth. A terrifying collapse force seemed to explode directly on Lin Feng's body. But Lin Feng still stood there calmly, looking at him.
"Such a strong physical body. Ji Shang had already launched a collapse attack, but his body didn't waver at all."
Ji Shang snorted coldly. Then, his palm swept across. Instantly, a collapsing Azure Dragon opened an ancient path, about to explode on Lin Feng's body. It was almost an instantaneous attack. Such was the might of a Great Emperor—a sweep of the palm, and divine ability descended.
But the black-robed man raised his fist. Space force tore through the void as he punched out directly. The ancient path shattered, the Azure Dragon's body exploded. This scene made the crowd's gazes freeze once more. Such attack power was terrifying, and he did it so effortlessly, as if it were nothing.
"Not bad." Ji Shang said coldly. Then, his palm continuously swept through the void. One Azure Dragon ancient path after another was born, the chaotic force of collapse shaking heaven and earth, madly bombarding Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng's fists continuously punched through the void, shattering the ancient paths, tearing apart the Azure Dragons. Both were equally relaxed, their every move containing terrifying power.
Finally, Ji Shang stopped attacking. He looked down at the figure below with a hint of appreciation and said, "This is my first battle since entering the Great Emperor Realm. Although I'm not yet familiar with it, I've exerted some force. For you to withstand it is indeed rare. Unfortunately, you are destined to fall here today."
With that, Ji Shang's Emperor might pressed down madly. The spatial currents seemed to collapse and explode.
Lin Feng's expression grew colder. Killing intent began to spread. The pupils beneath the veil became icy and boundless. He said indifferently, "I haven't even started yet!"
