Chapter 5: What are you barking about?

“What’s the matter? Too scared to talk now?”

The male disciple’s tone remained aggressive.

“Digging into your own sister’s Immortal Bone for power, and after being exposed, falling so low—this is a disgrace to Bai Shimei! If I were you, I’d have found somewhere to end it all long ago!”

Bai Feng saw through it clearly.

The other party was here just to provoke trouble, and most likely was one of her sister’s sycophants.

Damn it, I don’t dare mess with a Child of Destiny, but you, a sycophant, actually dare to act cocky in front of me?

If it were a sycophant of some other Child of Destiny, I might hesitate a bit, but this one is my sister’s lapdog—he’s asking for it!

“What kind of idiot are you? Such bad luck!”

Without a word, Bai Feng drew his long sword.

“Get lost now, or I’ll help you leave!”

“Alright, alright!”

The male disciple burst out laughing, clearly angered that Bai Feng dared speak to him like this.

“Looks like you don’t know the gap between us. Today, I’ll teach you a lesson in place of Bai Shimei!”

“Chen Shixiong, isn’t this going too far?”

Another disciple who came with him hesitated.

After all, Bai Feng was Bai Shimei’s brother.

As outsiders, it wasn’t really their place to interfere in internal family matters.

But Chen Shixiong didn’t listen.

Or rather, he had his own reasoning:

“It’s fine. He’s the one who wanted to dig into Bai Shimei’s Immortal Bone. Do you think she’d acknowledge someone like him?”

“Maybe Bai Shimei just held back because of the family. Then I’ll do the punishing for her!”

The thought that Bai Shimei might finally glance at him with some interest because of this, or even start paying attention to him, sent a thrill through his heart.

“Idiot! Chatting while fighting? Do you think I’m some NPC who can’t move during dialogue?”

Bai Feng suddenly appeared in front of Chen Shixiong, lifting his foot and kicking him away.

Chen Shixiong quickly spun in midair, landing steadily on the ground.

His face was filled with anger toward this shameless bastard, but also confusion—how did this Foundation Establishment novice kick him, a Peak Foundation Establishment, flying like that?

Seeming to notice his doubt, Bai Feng lifted his left foot and was suddenly right in front of him.

“Lingqi, kid!!”

Although his talent was mediocre, his family was rich.

Didn’t Chen Shixiong know the weight the Northern Bai Family carried?

If it weren’t for the fact that Lingqi couldn’t be used during the Foundation Establishment phase, Bai Feng would at least have a Half-Immortal Artifact for defense.

Chen Shixiong hurriedly raised his sword to defend.

Although the opponent was only Foundation Establishment early stage, he was pressured so hard he could barely breathe.

Bai Feng’s sword was not only fast but powerful, and Chen’s hands were numbing from the impact.

Out of Chen Shixiong’s sight, several talismans on Bai Ran’s body glowed gold, continuously boosting his speed and strength.

Coupled with the Lingqi all over him, dealing with a Foundation Establishment peak like Chen Shixiong was easy.

Retreating step by step, Chen Shixiong finally gave up his pride and summoned a breath of energy.

The aura of Peak Foundation Establishment burst forth, and the strong spiritual energy forced Bai Feng back several steps.

“Not bad. You’re pretty good.”

Chen Shixiong’s expression darkened.

He hadn’t expected to miscalculate.

This guy wasn’t as useless as rumors said.

His foundation was solid, completely unlike someone who forced their cultivation with Dan Medicine.

Thinking this, he squinted:

“You hid it well! If it weren’t for me, everyone would have been fooled. Those rumors about you being useless and relying on Dan Medicine to climb up—you’re the one spreading those, aren’t you? Looks like you still can’t let go of Bai Shimei’s Immortal Bone!”

Bai Feng:

“?”

Crazy!

Why would I spread rumors that ‘I’m useless’ when I have nothing better to do?

Besides, I did rely on Dan Medicine to reach Foundation Establishment, but I digested the medicinal power seriously and strengthened my foundation.

Many geniuses in sects do the same.

“Looks like one lesson won’t cut it. Don’t worry, for Bai Shimei’s sake, I’ll spare your life.” Chen Shixiong drew his long sword, sharp sword qi surging from him. “Come on, you’re not the only one in this world with Lingqi.”

Bai Feng rubbed his head.

Why did it feel like Tianjian Sect had gathered all the valuable things?

This is Qinghong City—what the hell are you barking at like a dog?

“I say, are you all just going to watch? Not going to stop him?” He turned to the nearby Tianjian Sect disciples. “If you’re not helping, then all of you attack. I’m in a hurry!”

Do you really think this Northern Bai Family’s eldest young master only carries low-grade Lingqi?

Just as these sect-born disciples with clear eyes hesitated, a voice suddenly came into their ears:

“Don’t help. You guys find a few people and go to the Bai family to call Bai Shimei over.”

Their faces brightened instantly:

“It’s Lin Shidi!”

“Oh right, Lin Shidi’s family is here too!”

Feeling like they had found their anchor, they quickly agreed, taking a step back and sending two people to rush to the Bai family.

Chen Shixiong’s anger deepened seeing his companions falter.

He turned toward the disinterested Bai Feng and snarled through gritted teeth:

“I can handle this useless guy alone!”

He stepped forward, sword flashing with sharp sword qi straight at Bai Feng.

Before Bai Feng could use a stronger move, a figure suddenly leapt out, blocking the attack with a sword.

“Chen Shixiong, bullying the weak—what kind of skill is that? How about I spar with you?”

Lin Yan landed, his broad long sword pointed at Chen Shixiong.

“You’re here too?”

Bai Feng pretended to be surprised, although he had known the other was hiding in the shadows.

“I’ve been watching quietly all along. Sorry for only stepping in now.”

Lin Yan apologized, then gave Bai Feng a thumbs-up.

“Bai bro, I really wasn’t wrong about you! Don’t worry, I’ve got your back!”

Bai Feng:

“?”

What do you know?

What’s wrong with the Tianjian Sect?

Even you, a Child of Destiny, are acting like this?

“Lin Yan!!”

Chen Shixiong was furious his move had been blocked by a fellow Tianjian Sect disciple.

“Are you sure you want to stop me?”

“I just can’t stand someone who doesn’t know better, bullying the weak.”

Lin Yan’s cultivation was only Foundation Establishment mid-stage, but facing a Peak Foundation Establishment he showed no fear.

After all, he had fought Peak Foundation Establishment disciples in the sect before.

“You think because you beat a few trash you can challenge me?”

Chen Shixiong raised his sword, pointing it forward.

“One last time—are you sure you want to stop me?”

“Too much nonsense. Fight or get lost.”

Lin Yan frowned.

This guy had truly lost his mind.

“Want help?”

Bai Feng toyed with his sword beside him.

“No need. I can handle him alone.”

Lin Yan smiled confidently.

“Then take this.”

Bai Feng tossed over a talisman he had drawn.

“Use it as you please, I have plenty.”

Seeing it wasn’t anything particularly precious, Lin Yan didn’t hesitate, reaching out to accept it.

“Then I won’t hold back.”

“Good, good!”

Chen Shixiong laughed bitterly at their indifference.

“Looks like it’s time for you to realize the gap between us.”

With that, he charged straight at Lin Yan.
