Lin Feng’s figure flickered, appearing directly in front of the group of people. His gaze was cold as he swept across the crowd, finally landing on the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier.

“What did you say?” Lin Feng’s voice was icy, carrying a bone-chilling coldness.

The middle-aged man’s expression changed slightly. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to be so direct, but thinking of the power behind him, he immediately regained his composure and sneered, “I said, you’re nothing but a reckless fool who doesn’t know his place. Do you think that just because you have some strength, you can act arrogantly in the Holy City Central Continent? I advise you to be sensible and obediently hand over the treasures. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“Hand over the treasures?” Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth. “And who do you think you are?”

“Hmph, I am a disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress. My senior brother is the personal disciple of the Fortress Master, a powerhouse at the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better behave yourself.” The middle-aged man said proudly, a trace of arrogance flashing in his eyes.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd immediately stirred. The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress was one of the Nine Great Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses, incredibly powerful, with countless experts within. A personal disciple of the Fortress Master was definitely a top-tier figure among the younger generation.

“Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress?” Lin Feng’s gaze flickered slightly, but then he sneered, “So what? Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

“Arrogant!” The middle-aged man’s face darkened. “Since you refuse to see reason, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Brothers, seize him!”

As his voice fell, several figures behind him instantly rushed out, each radiating a powerful aura, clearly all experts at the Mysterious Martial Realm.

“Looking for death!” A cold light flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes. His figure moved, and he instantly transformed into several afterimages, appearing before those people like a ghost.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of dull thuds rang out. Those people didn’t even have time to react before they were sent flying, heavily crashing to the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

“What?!”

The middle-aged man’s pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with shock. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng’s strength to be so terrifying. Those were all experts at the Mysterious Martial Realm, yet they couldn’t even withstand a single move from Lin Feng.

“Now, it’s your turn.” Lin Feng’s gaze turned to the middle-aged man, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

“You... what do you want?” The middle-aged man’s face turned pale, and he involuntarily took a step back. He could feel the murderous intent emanating from Lin Feng.

“What do I want?” Lin Feng sneered. “I want your life!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Feng’s figure flashed, instantly appearing in front of the middle-aged man. His palm struck out, carrying a terrifying force as it slammed toward the middle-aged man’s chest.

“No!”

The middle-aged man let out a terrified scream, his face filled with despair. He could feel the power of that palm, enough to shatter his internal organs.

Just then, a cold snort suddenly rang out.

“Hmph, bold brat, how dare you!”

Following the sound, a figure descended from the sky like a bolt of lightning, appearing before the middle-aged man in an instant. He raised his hand and struck out, colliding head-on with Lin Feng’s palm.

Boom!

A deafening explosion sounded. Terrifying energy ripples spread out, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently. Lin Feng’s body shook, and he was forced back several steps before he could stabilize himself.

The person who came was a young man in his thirties, dressed in a golden long robe, with a sharp gaze and a powerful aura. He was clearly a formidable expert.

“Senior Brother!” Seeing the newcomer, the middle-aged man was overjoyed, as if he had found a lifeline.

“Useless trash!” The golden-robed young man glanced at the middle-aged man coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. Then, he turned his gaze to Lin Feng, a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes.

“No wonder you’re so arrogant, you do have some skill. But do you think that with just this little strength, you can act recklessly in the Holy City Central Continent?” The golden-robed young man said coldly.

“Act recklessly?” Lin Feng sneered. “I was just defending myself. Could it be that your Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress disciples can bully others at will?”

“Bully others?” The golden-robed young man’s eyes turned cold. “You killed my Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress disciples, and now you dare to quibble? Today, I will make you understand that the dignity of my Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress cannot be violated!”

As soon as his voice fell, the golden-robed young man’s aura suddenly erupted. A powerful pressure swept out, causing the surrounding crowd to change color.

“Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm!” Someone exclaimed in shock.

The golden-robed young man’s strength had actually reached the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm, which was already considered a top-tier expert among the younger generation.

“Is that so?” Lin Feng’s expression remained calm, a trace of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes. “Then let me see what you’ve got!”

“Arrogant!” The golden-robed young man snorted coldly. His figure moved, and he instantly appeared in front of Lin Feng. His palm struck out, carrying a vast and mighty force as it slammed toward Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. He didn’t dodge or evade, instead directly throwing a punch to meet it.

Boom!

The fist and palm collided, erupting with a terrifying energy storm. The surrounding ground cracked inch by inch, and the air emitted a sharp whistling sound.

Under this collision, both of their bodies shook, and they each took several steps back.

“What?!” The golden-robed young man’s expression finally changed. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng’s strength to be so powerful, actually able to match him head-on.

“Interesting.” A cold smile curled at the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth. The fighting spirit in his eyes grew even more intense. “Again!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Feng’s figure flashed, taking the initiative to attack. His fists roared like a violent storm, madly bombarding the golden-robed young man.

“Looking for death!” The golden-robed young man was enraged. He had never been so provoked before. With a furious roar, he also erupted with all his strength, engaging Lin Feng in a fierce battle.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two figures kept colliding in midair, erupting with deafening explosions. Terrifying energy ripples spread out, causing the surrounding crowd to retreat again and again, their faces filled with shock.

“Who is this young man? He can actually fight evenly with a personal disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress?”

“I don’t know, but his strength is definitely not simple. He’s probably a genius from some hidden force.”

“That’s right, to be able to fight a personal disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress to a standstill at such a young age, his background must be extraordinary.”

The surrounding crowd discussed animatedly, all shocked by Lin Feng’s strength.

At this moment, in the midst of the fierce battle, Lin Feng suddenly let out a long roar. His aura surged wildly, and a powerful pressure swept out.

“Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art!”

Lin Feng roared lowly, and a black demonic light burst out from his body, forming a huge demonic shadow behind him. The demonic shadow opened its mouth and let out a roar that shook the heavens, causing the expressions of everyone present to change drastically.

“What kind of technique is this?!” The golden-robed young man’s face changed dramatically. He could feel a fatal threat from that demonic shadow.

“Die!” Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He controlled the demonic shadow and struck out with a palm, carrying a destructive force as it slammed toward the golden-robed young man.

“Not good!” The golden-robed young man’s face turned pale. He hurriedly mobilized all his strength to block.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, the golden-robed young man’s body was sent flying like a cannonball, heavily crashing to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

“Senior Brother!” The middle-aged man’s face changed drastically, and he hurriedly rushed over to help the golden-robed young man up.

“You... you...” The golden-robed young man looked at Lin Feng with a face full of shock and anger. He never expected that he would be defeated by Lin Feng.

“Hmph, the dignity of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress? It’s nothing more than that.” Lin Feng said coldly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

“You... don’t be too arrogant!” The golden-robed young man was furious, but he didn’t dare to act rashly. He knew he was no match for Lin Feng.

“Arrogant? Hah, I’m just telling the truth.” Lin Feng sneered. “If you have the ability, call your Fortress Master. I want to see if the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress is really as formidable as the legends say.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding crowd immediately gasped. This young man was simply too arrogant, actually daring to provoke the Fortress Master of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress.

“You... you’re asking for trouble!” The golden-robed young man’s face turned ashen. He knew that if this matter reached the Fortress Master’s ears, even he would be punished.

“Whether I’m asking for trouble or not, you’ll find out soon enough.” Lin Feng said indifferently. Then, he turned around and prepared to leave.

“Stop right there!” Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out. Following the sound, several figures descended from the sky, blocking Lin Feng’s path.

The leader was an old man in his sixties, with white hair and a sharp gaze, exuding a powerful aura.

“Elder!” Seeing the old man, the golden-robed young man and the others were overjoyed, hurriedly stepping forward to pay their respects.

“Useless trash, you’ve disgraced my Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress!” The old man glanced at the golden-robed young man coldly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

“Disciple deserves death!” The golden-robed young man’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down.

“Hmph, get up!” The old man snorted coldly, then turned his gaze to Lin Feng, a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes.

“Young man, you have some skill. But do you think that with just this little strength, you can act recklessly in the Holy City Central Continent?” The old man said coldly.

“Act recklessly?” Lin Feng sneered. “I was just defending myself. Could it be that your Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress disciples can bully others at will, and others can’t even defend themselves?”

“Defending yourself?” The old man’s eyes turned cold. “You killed my Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress disciples, and now you dare to quibble? Today, I will make you understand that the dignity of my Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress cannot be violated!”

As soon as his voice fell, the old man’s aura suddenly erupted. A terrifying pressure swept out, causing the expressions of everyone present to change drastically.

“Peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm!” Someone exclaimed in shock.

This old man’s strength had actually reached the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm, only one step away from the Sovereign Martial Realm.

“Is that so?” Lin Feng’s expression remained calm, a trace of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes. “Then let me see what you’ve got!”

“Arrogant!” The old man snorted coldly. His figure moved, and he instantly appeared in front of Lin Feng. His palm struck out, carrying a vast and mighty force as it slammed toward Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. He didn’t dodge or evade, instead directly throwing a punch to meet it.

Boom!

The fist and palm collided, erupting with a terrifying energy storm. The surrounding ground cracked inch by inch, and the air emitted a sharp whistling sound.

Under this collision, Lin Feng’s body shook violently, and he was forced back several steps before he could stabilize himself. A trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

“Hmph, you’re just a mere ant, and you dare to act arrogantly in front of me?” The old man sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

“Is that all you’ve got?” Lin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

“What?” The old man’s expression changed slightly. He hadn’t expected Lin Feng to still be able to stand firm after taking his palm.

“If that’s all, then it’s my turn.” Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with a cold light. His aura suddenly surged, and a black demonic light burst out from his body, forming a huge demonic shadow behind him.

“Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art!”

Lin Feng roared lowly, and the demonic shadow opened its mouth, letting out a roar that shook the heavens. A terrifying pressure swept out, causing the expressions of everyone present to change drastically.

“What?!” The old man’s face changed dramatically. He could feel a fatal threat from that demonic shadow.

“Die!” Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He controlled the demonic shadow and struck out with a palm, carrying a destructive force as it slammed toward the old man.

“Not good!” The old man’s face turned pale. He hurriedly mobilized all his strength to block.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, the old man’s body was sent flying like a cannonball, heavily crashing to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

“What?!”

The entire scene fell into dead silence. Everyone stared at this scene with wide eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

Lin Feng had actually defeated a peak Heavenly Martial Realm expert with one move!

This was simply too shocking!
