Strange Phenomenon

Xiao Ye excused himself from the banquet hall and went to fetch his finest wine.

But Xiao Ye had a sinister plan in mind. He was going to poison the wine with the Black Horn Venom.

The Black Horn Venom was extracted from the Black Horn Venomous Hornet, a deadly insect that could kill fourth layer cultivators instantly.

For ninth layer cultivators, the venom would not kill them right away, but it would weaken them gradually until they succumbed.

Xiao Ye clenched his teeth as he poured the Black Horn Venom into the Heavenly Nectar Wine.

He thought, "How dare these young punks humiliate me like this?"

Xiao Ye hated the two Golden Light Sect disciples with a passion. He did not care about Liu Mei, but he cared about his dignity.

Xiao Ye thought, "They think they can look down on me just because they are from a big sect?"

Xiao Ye sneered and thought, "I will not only kill them, but also rob them of their Spatial Rings. They must have some treasures inside."

He took out a Spiritual Herb from his Spatial Ring and swallowed it to protect himself from the venom.

Xiao Ye returned to the banquet hall with a smile and handed the tainted Heavenly Nectar Wine to Liu Mei.

Xiao Ye smiled and said, "Liu Mei, fill my cup and the cups of our esteemed guests with some Heavenly Nectar Wine. Let's toast to this auspicious occasion."

Liu Mei nodded weakly and filled their cups with wine.

Xiao Ye lifted his cup and drank it.

He laughed loudly. "Hahaha! This Heavenly Nectar Wine is amazing. I have never tasted anything like this before. It's a shame that this wine is so rare!"

Luo Yunfei's eyes sparkled and he also drank his cup. He felt intoxicated.

"Wonderful wine! This Young Master has never enjoyed such heavenly wine before."

Sun Tianfeng also became curious and drank his cup.

His eyes widened. "Brother Yunfei is right! This wine is divine. Only people of our status deserve to drink it!"

Sun Tianfeng also felt drunk.

He looked at Liu Mei with lust and said, "Wife, why don't you give your future husband a kiss?"

He puckered his lips and waited for Liu Mei to kiss him.

But nothing happened.

Sun Tianfeng frowned and thought, "Why isn't she kissing me? Damn! This is so humiliating. I can't ask her to kiss me or I will lose face."

Sun Tianfeng opened his eyes and Xiao Ye spoke for him.

"Liu Mei, what are you waiting for? You should kiss Sun Tianfeng. He is your future husband!"

Luo Yunfei also said, "Yeah! You should try kissing Brother Tianfeng. Haha!"

Liu Mei felt helpless and scared. She had no choice but to nod and close her eyes.

Her lips were trembling as they approached Sun Tianfeng's lips, but a cold voice stopped them.

"Sun Tianfeng! Enough of this farce!"

It was Chen Feng's voice, ringing through the hall.

Everyone turned to look at Chen Feng with shock.

Liu Mei's eyes also teared up. She did not expect Chen Feng to stand up for her.

She felt grateful to him, but she also felt scared.

"Chen Feng! It's okay. I can handle this."

Chen Feng scoffed and said, "No, you can't handle this! I have known you since we were kids, we are best friends! How can I not know what you feel?"

"You must hate this Sun Tianfeng!"

Sun Tianfeng was enraged by Chen Feng's defiance.

He said with a cold snort, "You insolent guard, how dare you meddle in my marriage? Kneel before me and beg for mercy!"

He used his Qi to press down on Chen Feng and force him to kneel.

Chen Feng felt a huge pressure on his body, but he refused to bend his knees.

He said through gritted teeth, "I, Chen Feng, will never kneel to a scoundrel like you!"

"I only kneel to my parents and the heaven and the earth!"

He then said weakly, "You are a villain who only knows how to bully the weak!"

Sun Tianfeng's anger reached its peak and he said coldly, "You are asking for death! I will make you pay for your words! I will crush your bones and make you watch as I take Liu Mei as my wife!"

He increased his pressure on Chen Feng ten times, and Chen Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, but he still did not kneel.

Sun Tianfeng sneered and said, "I want to see how long you can last."

Xiao Ye, Sun Tianfeng, and Luo Yunfei were all astonished that Chen Feng did not kneel even under Sun Tianfeng's pressure.

Sun Tianfeng exerted even more pressure on Chen Feng, and Chen Feng's bones began to crack, but he still did not kneel!

Chen Feng said faintly, "Liu Mei, don't be afraid. I will always protect you. Even if I die, I will not let him touch you!"

Liu Mei's eyes were filled with tears as she saw Chen Feng's suffering. She pleaded with Sun Tianfeng, "Young Master Sun, please stop! I can't bear to see Chen Feng in pain!"

Sun Tianfeng ignored her and decided to raise his pressure even more.

Chen Feng could not withstand the pressure anymore and passed out, but he still did not kneel before Sun Tianfeng!

At that moment, Sun Tianfeng vomited a mouthful of black blood.

Sun Tianfeng's eyes widened in shock. "What?!"

He tried to use his Qi, but he found that his Qi was chaotic and unstable.

He realized that he had been poisoned. He glared at Xiao Ye and said furiously, "Village Lord! How dare you poison this Young Master?"

Luo Yunfei was also shocked. He was too drunk from the Heavenly Nectar Wine to think clearly.

He also coughed up a mouthful of black blood and looked at Xiao Ye with horror.

Xiao Ye smiled coldly and said, "That's right. I dare to poison two worthless worms. It's your own fault for acting so arrogantly in my village."

Sun Tianfeng laughed crazily and took out a Detoxifying Pill from his Spatial Ring and ate it. Luo Yunfei did the same.

Xiao Ye mocked them. "Do you think that will save you?"

"I don't doubt that the Detoxifying Pill can neutralize the Black Horn Venom in your body, but it will take some time for it to work."

Sun Tianfeng sneered and said, "So what? Do you think you can beat two Golden Light Sect outer disciples with your pathetic eighth layer Qi Condensation cultivation?"

Xiao Ye nodded and said, "Yes, I do."

As soon as he said that, he used his movement technique, the Wooden Monkey Steps, and appeared in front of Sun Tianfeng.

He unleashed his Bloodthirsty Claw, and a bloody aura enveloped Sun Tianfeng.

Both Sun Tianfeng and Luo Yunfei were astonished. "Two higher Yellow Grade techniques!"

But then they noticed something else. The bloody aura was not only violent and fierce, but also sinister and corrupt. It was a sign of a demonic cultivation technique!

Sun Tianfeng and Luo Yunfei gasped in horror. "A demonic cultivator!"

Sun Tianfeng spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Haha! Liu Fengshen, you are doomed! You don't know who you are messing with! My big brother is an inner disciple of the Golden Light Sect! He will not let you get away with this!"

Luo Yunfei warned, "If you kill Sun Tianfeng, his brother, who is an inner disciple of the Golden Light Sect, will hunt you down!"

"Liu Fengshen, if you spare Sun Tianfeng, his brother might show you some mercy!"

Xiao Ye did not care about their words and slashed his Wind Chaser Saber across Sun Tianfeng's chest.

Xiao Ye slashed through Sun Tianfeng's flesh and bones, and blood sprayed out from the wound.

Sun Tianfeng shrieked in agony and terror, but he could not resist Xiao Ye.

Luo Yunfei shouted in fear, "You dare?!"

Xiao Ye then used the Wooden Monkey Steps again and appeared behind Luo Yunfei.

He swept his Wind Chaser Saber and chopped Luo Yunfei's neck, cutting off his head from his body.

Luo Yunfei's eyes bulged in disbelief, and his head soared in the air, leaving a stream of blood behind.

The two never imagined that Xiao Ye would dare to kill them, but they died!

Liu Mei, who was also in the banquet hall, fainted as soon as she saw Xiao Ye's brutal killing.

Xiao Ye said to himself as he stole the two Spatial Rings, "I need to absorb their Blood Essence first, then I will escape from Qingfeng Village."

Xiao Ye went to his chamber and used the Red Lotus Devouring Technique to absorb the Blood Essence of Sun Tianfeng and Luo Yunfei. Their Blood Essence was rich and pure, as they were both peak ninth layer Qi Condensation cultivators.

[A/N: Red Lotus Devouring Technique is the Hong Lianhua Devouring Technique.]

Xiao Ye felt a surge of energy in his body as he absorbed their Blood Essence. Xiao Ye felt his Qi grow stronger and more refined.

It took Xiao Ye three hours to completely absorb their Blood Essence and break through to the ninth layer of Qi Condensation.

Xiao Ye stood up and decided to head to the Hundred Beasts Forest. He was familiar with that area, and he knew that the forest was vast and deep.

Xiao Ye quickly packed his belongings and left Qingfeng Village. He did not say goodbye to anyone, nor did he care about the aftermath of his actions.

He was aware that after he slaughtered the two Golden Light Sect disciples, someone stronger would come to take revenge on them.

They might even wipe out the entire Qingfeng Village, but Xiao Ye didn't give a damn.

He entered the Hundred Beasts Forest and used his Wooden Monkey Steps to move swiftly among the trees.

Xiao Ye quickly searched the Spatial Rings of the two disciples and he was astonished. "This is incredible. I have a much higher chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm now. There are two Foundation Establishment Pills in their Spatial Rings!"

Xiao Ye felt a surge of joy and excitement. He had been stuck at the Qi Condensation Realm for a long time, and he had been longing for a breakthrough. He had never expected to find such a treasure in the hands of these two disciples.

But before he could celebrate, he heard five thunderous roars that shook the sky.

Xiao Ye felt a sharp pain in his ears. He covered them with his hands, but it was useless. The roars were too loud and powerful.

He looked up and saw a splendid spectacle. He saw five Divine Beasts made of pure lightning soaring in the sky.

Boom! Boom!

Heaven and earth trembled at the power of the five Divine Beasts!

Each Divine Beast was colossal, spanning more than ten thousand kilometers in length!

They were unleashing dazzling bolts and claps of thunder.

There was a Dragon, a Qilin, a Roc, a Tiger, and a Snake.

The aura that these five Divine Beasts radiated was peerless and made Xiao Ye feel insignificant.

Xiao Ye could tell that the core of these five Divine Beasts was Qingfeng Village, and he couldn't help but wonder what happened.

Then, the five Divine Beasts made of lightning began to move. The Qilin, the Roc, the Tiger, and the Snake ascended into the sky, leaving behind streaks of light. They disappeared into the clouds, as if they were returning to their celestial realms.

Only the Dragon remained. It gazed down at the earth, as if it was looking for something. Then, it opened its mouth and let out a final roar.

It plunged down towards the earth, like a comet falling from the sky. It smashed into the ground, vanishing.
