Chapter 483: Taunting

"Heh heh, I am digging a grave, but... it's for you." Ye Yuan said with a smile, completely unperturbed by Jin Feng's threat.

"What a sharp tongue. Let's see if you can still be so stubborn later!"

A large ring-blade suddenly appeared in Jin Feng's hand, and his killing intent surged skyward without concealment.

The martial artists below, enveloped by this powerful killing intent, retreated one after another.

But Ye Yuan, standing opposite Jin Feng, seemed oblivious, as if Jin Feng's killing intent simply filtered past him.

Seeing this, Jin Feng's expression turned grave.

Jin Feng had become the City Lord of Xinyang City through his own strength, earned through real combat.

"This young man is formidable, but still too reckless! Jin Feng has killed countless people in his life, and his killing intent is almost tangible. He's on a completely different level from Yu Qing!"

"I heard that before becoming City Lord of Xinyang City, Jin Feng had already killed countless people. Back when he was at the sixth level of the Sea of Qi, he came alone with his ring-blade to challenge the previous city lord. That city lord was a seventh-level Sea of Qi expert, yet Jin Feng killed him, crossing levels, and became the new city lord. That shows how strong he is!"

"Jin Feng has now been at the seventh level of the Sea of Qi for many years, and his strength is no longer on the same level as before. Now, even a ninth-level Sea of Qi might not be his match!"

"Yes, he hasn't personally fought in Xinyang City for many years. No one knows how strong he is now. But just this killing intent alone can shake the minds of ordinary martial artists, making it impossible for them to even use martial skills, right?"

Fighting across a small sub-level was as easy as eating and drinking for Ye Yuan, but for ordinary martial artists, it was as difficult as reaching the heavens.

That Jin Feng could kill a seventh-level Sea of Qi when he was at the sixth level showed that his comprehension of artistic conception was extremely powerful.

But when it came to artistic conception, Ye Yuan surpassed the entire Boundless Realm.

"Kid, I see you have some skill, immune to my killing intent! But... my Annihilating Heavenly Sound Blade is not so easy to break! Die obediently!"

Jin Feng sneered coldly, shook his blade, and a series of metallic clangs emanated from it.

Once the sound was emitted, it drilled into the ears of every martial artist like demonic music.

The martial artists below, not expecting this, desperately covered their ears with their hands.

But even so, their faces were filled with agony.

Even Ye Yuan, upon hearing this eerie demonic sound, became dazed.

Seeing this, Jin Feng swung his blade at Ye Yuan!

But before his eyes, Ye Yuan's figure vanished!

Startled, he felt his blade blocked by something, unable to cut down!

Looking closely, Jin Feng was scared out of his wits.

Ye Yuan had somehow appeared before him, clamping his ring-blade between two fingers!

The blade's momentum stopped, and the sound attack immediately dissipated. The martial artists below quickly recovered, but when they saw Ye Yuan holding Jin Feng's blade with his fingers, their jaws dropped.

"You've got to be kidding? Such a fierce blade strike, and he... he caught it with his fingers, unharmed?"

"Who is this young man? How is he so powerful? Catching Jin Feng's ring-blade with his fingers—even a peak ninth-level Sea of Qi wouldn't dare, right?"

"Too... too strong! They're not on the same level at all! It's a complete crushing! First-level Sea of Qi crushing seventh-level... How can this happen?"

Ye Yuan's sword intent was far stronger than Jin Feng's blade intent; Jin Feng's blade intent couldn't harm Ye Yuan at all.

What others dared not do, Ye Yuan did without any hindrance.

"You, you, how are you unaffected by the sound attack?" Jin Feng stammered in shock.

"That pathetic trick of yours couldn't hurt me even if you practiced for another thousand years!"

Ye Yuan said calmly, but his sword intent burst forth.

With a "bang," he sent Jin Feng flying.

Ye Yuan had indeed been affected by the sound attack earlier. This sound attack targeted not only the martial artist's hearing but also their soul, making it hard to defend against.

But when the attack reached Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, the nameless black bead floating there gave a slight tremor, dispersing the attack before Ye Yuan could even actively defend.

The most formidable aspect of this sound attack was the soul attack. Once the soul attack was broken, blocking hearing with yuan power rendered the sound attack useless.

Struck by the sword intent radiating from Ye Yuan, Jin Feng felt his internal organs churn, instantly suffering severe internal injuries.

"Who is this kid? How is he so strong? He hasn't even launched a proper attack yet!" Jin Feng was shocked.

He could sense that Ye Yuan was just toying with him; otherwise, that last move would have killed him!

Just by releasing powerful sword intent, he could cross levels and injure a seventh-level Sea of Qi martial artist. How strong would he be if he used martial skills?

At this thought, Jin Feng shuddered.

How could such a powerful being suddenly appear in Xinyang City?

Seeing Ye Yuan approaching, Jin Feng got up and flew toward the city lord's mansion.

Ye Yuan smiled slightly and followed.

He was much faster than Jin Feng and soon caught up.

"Bang!"

Sword intent surged, and Jin Feng was sent flying again.

Thus, Ye Yuan chased Jin Feng all the way to the city lord's mansion.

"Lord Dai, save me! Lord Dai..." Jin Feng's roar echoed through the mansion.

"Bang!"

Jin Feng's body crashed through the mansion's main gate and flew inside.

Ye Yuan leisurely walked into the mansion, looked at Jin Feng lying on the ground covered in blood, and said calmly, "You father and son have been tyrannizing Xinyang City, defying the Nethercloud Sect, and willingly becoming pawns of the Purple Firmament Sect. You deserve to die!"

Jin Feng was shocked, looking at Ye Yuan in disbelief. "You, you, you are... How is that possible? Why didn't I receive any news of your arrival in Xinyang City?"

Ye Yuan smiled. "If you had received news, how could I have come to Xinyang City? Well, thank you for leading the way. Now... you can die."

"Ah! No!" Jin Feng cried out in despair.

Ye Yuan ignored him, formed a sword with his fingers, and sent a sword qi speeding toward Jin Feng.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared between the two.

The person lightly waved his sleeve, and the sword qi was dispersed!

Seeing the figure's back, Jin Feng exclaimed excitedly, "Lord... Lord Dai, thank you for saving my life!"

Ye Yuan looked at the person before him, his expression turning grave.
