Chapter 14: You Won't Cry Until You See the Coffin!

In an instant, the scene fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone stood there slack-jawed, their faces etched with shock!

None of them had expected Chu Feng to actually dare kill Zhang Yuan — and in such a brutal manner at that!

It was only when the longsword in Zhang Yuan's hand clattered to the ground with a crisp ring that Liu Hanyan snapped back to her senses and let out a piercing scream.

"Ahh!"

"Chu Feng, how dare you kill Senior Brother Zhang — you...!"

Just as Liu Hanyan was about to threaten Chu Feng, Liu Qing beside her hurriedly clamped a hand over her mouth.

"Chu Feng, everything that happened today was at Zhang Yuan's request. Please, be magnanimous and do not blame Hanyan!" Liu Qing said, his face full of fear as he apologized to Chu Feng.

"Grand Elder..." Liu Hanyan turned to look at Liu Qing in disbelief, unable to understand why he was so frightened.

"Shut up! If you don't want to die, don't say another word!"

Liu Qing silenced Liu Hanyan, then immediately turned back to apologize to Chu Feng once more.

The movement technique Chu Feng had used to kill Zhang Yuan just now was far too strange. Liu Qing hadn't been able to follow it, and he was certain he wouldn't be able to dodge it either.

If Chu Feng wanted to kill him, it would surely be just as easy!

"Chu Feng, don't kill anyone else!"

Seeing that Chu Feng still seemed intent on killing, Chu Tianyue hurriedly spoke up to stop him.

"Get lost," Chu Feng said coldly.

"Yes! We'll get lost right now!"

Liu Qing's heart flooded with relief at those words. He immediately grabbed Liu Hanyan and fled as though running for his life.

"Hold it!"

Just as Liu Qing and Liu Hanyan were about to step out the door, Chu Feng's cold voice brought them to a halt.

Liu Qing's body went rigid, and he slowly turned his head in dread.

Chu Feng walked to a nearby table, picked up a brush, and wrote a single large character — the character for "divorce" — then strode up to Liu Hanyan and slapped it hard across her face.

"It is not you who is casting me aside — it is I who am casting you aside!"

"From this day forward, we have no connection whatsoever. You had best never come to provoke me again, or I will certainly kill you." Chu Feng stared coldly at Liu Hanyan as he spoke.

Liu Hanyan's face burned with fury, and she was about to retort.

Liu Qing beside her quickly grabbed her arm and said humbly, "Understood. We will never dare disturb you again."

"Get lost," Chu Feng said coldly.

Liu Hanyan's heart was seething with rage and she wanted to explode, but in an instant Liu Qing had pulled her away at a brisk pace.

Watching Liu Qing and Liu Hanyan leave, Chu Tianyue turned to look at Chu Feng, his expression full of worry.

"Chu Feng, you were far too impulsive just now!"

"By killing Zhang Yuan, neither the Zhang family nor Lingxiao Pavilion will let you off — and they won't let the Chu Clan off either. What are we going to do?"

Chu Feng said lightly, "Don't worry. When the time comes, I'll deal with them myself."

"How will you deal with them?"

"Chu Feng, the Zhang family has cultivators at the ninth level of the True Spirit Stage."

"As for Lingxiao Pavilion, you know as well as I do — they have cultivators at the Earth Spirit Realm!"

"Unless you can regain the protection of the Qinglan Sect, there is simply no way to handle Lingxiao Pavilion's retaliation!"

Chu Tianyue paced back and forth, terrified that Chu Feng's actions would drag the entire Chu Clan to its destruction.

"If you're afraid, you can take the clan members and hide for a while. Once I've wiped out the Zhang family and Lingxiao Pavilion, you can come back out." Chu Feng said calmly.

Chu Feng might not yet have the strength to destroy Lingxiao Pavilion, but he believed it would not be long before he did.

"Wipe out the Zhang family and Lingxiao Pavilion? Chu Feng, you really are...!"

Chu Tianyue had been about to say that Chu Feng was boasting shamelessly, but then thought better of offending him.

He fell silent and instead began thinking about how to arrange for the Chu Clan's elite disciples to slip away and hide.

Boom!

Suddenly, a tremendous crash rang out from outside the Chu Clan compound!

Immediately after, a furious roar followed:

"Which one of you is Chu Feng?! Get out here!"

The voice was saturated with killing intent — clearly, whoever had come meant no good!

"Chu Feng, did you offend someone else outside as well?" Chu Tianyue's heart lurched with alarm!

Chu Feng said nothing. He simply turned and walked outside.

A short while later, Chu Feng arrived at the training ground outside.

There, a fierce-looking middle-aged man in grey robes was grabbing a Chu Clan member by the collar, bellowing furious questions!

On the ground nearby lay more than a dozen Chu Clan disciples, their fates unknown.

Not far behind the grey-robed man stood Liu Hanyan and Liu Qing.

It was unclear whether they had simply not left yet and stayed to watch the spectacle, or whether they had been the ones to summon this grey-robed man to avenge Zhang Yuan.

"Elder Lin, that's him — that's Chu Feng!" Liu Hanyan spotted Chu Feng and immediately pointed him out to the grey-robed man.

"Boy, so you're the one who killed my disciple Zhang Yuan?" The grey-robed man fixed Chu Feng with a vicious glare!

The grey-robed man was Zhang Yuan's master — Lin Tiancheng, an Inner Sect Elder of Lingxiao Pavilion!

This time, Lin Tiancheng had brought Zhang Yuan out for field training, and Zhang Yuan had brought Liu Hanyan along.

Not long ago, Liu Hanyan had learned that Chu Feng had been expelled from the Qinglan Sect, and had begged Zhang Yuan to help her come to the Chu Clan to break off the marriage engagement.

Zhang Yuan had long harbored feelings for Liu Hanyan, and he had agreed with great enthusiasm.

At Zhang Yuan's urging, Lin Tiancheng had also agreed to accompany them.

However, Lin Tiancheng felt that breaking off a marriage engagement was too humiliating an affair for him to be involved in, so he had waited outside the Chu Clan compound.

He had never expected that Liu Hanyan would come rushing out moments ago to tell him that Zhang Yuan had been killed by Chu Feng — his head blown apart!

Lin Tiancheng felt as though a bolt of lightning had struck him from a clear sky. He flew into a rage and charged into the Chu Clan compound, intent on tearing Chu Feng to pieces and avenging Zhang Yuan!

Chu Feng paid no attention to Lin Tiancheng. He turned to look at Liu Hanyan and said coldly:

"Liu Hanyan, I told you that if you came to provoke me again, I would certainly kill you. It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin!"

"Chu Feng, with Elder Lin here, you still dare to act so arrogantly? I'd say you're the one who won't cry until you see the coffin!"

"Let me tell you — Elder Lin is an Inner Sect Elder of our Lingxiao Pavilion, and his cultivation is at the ninth level of the True Spirit Stage!" Liu Hanyan declared, her face full of haughty pride.

"What?! An Inner Sect Elder of Lingxiao Pavilion? Ninth level of the True Spirit Stage?"

Chu Tianyue, who had followed Chu Feng outside, went pale with terror upon hearing Liu Hanyan's words!

Chu Feng's cultivation was only at the first level of the Spirit Entry Stage — the gap between that and the ninth level of the True Spirit Stage was enormous. He was simply no match for Lin Tiancheng!

Chu Tianyue had only just been thinking about relocating the Chu Clan's elite disciples, and yet here was an Inner Sect Elder of Lingxiao Pavilion already at their door!

There was no time to relocate anyone. He was immediately gripped by the fear that the Chu Clan would be annihilated in one fell swoop!

"Elder Lin, what happened earlier was a misunderstanding. Please spare the Chu Clan — we are willing to pay any price!" Chu Tianyue said, his face full of dread.

For the sake of the Chu Clan, Chu Tianyue had no choice but to grovel and beg for Lin Tiancheng's forgiveness, hoping to secure a path of survival for the clan.

Hearing Chu Tianyue's plea, Chu Feng shot him an irritated glance.

This Chu Tianyue had absolutely no faith in him whatsoever — the fight hadn't even started, and he was already begging for mercy.

"Chu Feng is the Young Clan Master of the Chu Clan. Since he dared to kill my disciple, there is no need for the Chu Clan to continue existing!"

"Not one of you will escape today!" Lin Tiancheng said coldly.

With that, Lin Tiancheng drew his sword and charged at Chu Feng.

Lin Tiancheng's sword momentum was like rolling thunder. The technique he employed was the same Thunder Sword Art that Zhang Yuan had used before.

But in Lin Tiancheng's hands, its power was far more terrifying.

The sword had not yet reached him, yet from a distance Chu Feng already felt the sword's might pressing down on his body — it already carried the embryonic form of sword qi!

The gap in cultivation was too vast. Chu Feng did not attempt to meet Lin Tiancheng head-on, instead using the Phantom Shadow Step to continuously evade his attacks.

In a short while, Lin Tiancheng's sword might had carved countless deep gashes into the ground, yet it had not managed to touch Chu Feng even once.

Suddenly, Lin Tiancheng's sword struck Chu Feng's body.

Just as Lin Tiancheng was thrilled, thinking he had finally cut Chu Feng down, Chu Feng vanished without a trace!

Immediately after, a fist came crashing down onto Lin Tiancheng's head!

Crack!

His skull shattered. Brain matter splattered in all directions!
