Chapter 12: Punching the Junior Sister

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Eldest Brother!”

“Brother Bai!”

Amidst the exclamations of the disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley, Bai Canghai’s body was thrown high into the air. He flew out like a tattered cloth bag and fell uncontrollably at the other end of the light bridge.

Thud!

The sound of something landing heavily was only heard after a few seconds. The long bridge shook and divine light shone everywhere. A vast stream of light kept surging out to fill the space above the endless abyss.

“Eldest Brother! Are you alright!”

The youngest girl who had been hiding behind Bai Canghai did not think twice when she saw this. Her eyes turned slightly red and she rushed towards that direction without a thought.

Feng Xia did not try to stop her, but took a step forward calmly.

“You—”

“What are you trying to do?”

The expressions of everyone from the Thousand Autumn Valley changed.

Everything had happened so fast!

Most of them could not even make out what had happened when they saw the Qingfeng Sword shatter. Immediately after that, they saw the powerful eldest disciple, Bai Canghai, being sent flying by Feng Xia!

At this moment, when they saw Feng Xia walking over, they felt an indescribable sense of oppression. It was as if an ancient divine mountain had descended, making it difficult for them to breathe. Even their hearts seemed to be about to stop beating.

“Dao Platform… Eldest Brother just said… Dao Platform Realm?”

“How is that possible? Anyone who is of the Dao Platform Realm can be conferred the title of Champion. Even in the entire Xuanwu Kingdom, there are only a few of them…”

“The Hundred Nether Sect demoness has a follower who’s a Champion?”

Eyes filled with horror fell on Feng Xia.

When Feng Xia’s gaze swept over them, they involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

At this moment, there was only one thought in everyone’s minds.

“Who is he!!”

“Such a young Champion can’t be an unknown person!”

If it was only the Hundred Nether Sect demoness who had just broken through to the Inception Realm, they may still be able to fight it out with her since they outnumbered her, plus their Eldest Brother was only one step away from the Inception Realm…

However, with a Champion of the Dao Platform Realm around, they would not have any chance of winning!

Oh.

Actually, your Eldest Brother said that too.

—Feng Xia wanted to curse at them, but he knew he had to be serious when it was time to be serious. At least, now was not the right time to ruin the mood.

“Champion… As long as one reaches the Dao Platform Realm, one can be known as a Champion?”

Feng Xia could not help but shake his head when he recalled how the group of people talked about the Dao Platform Realm with reverence that came from the depths of their souls.

Patriarch, times have changed!

A period of 3,000 years could allow a race to develop from nothing into a glorious civilization.

Yet, it could also witness a civilization performing a thousand-meter dive to its perfect death on the spot.

Are you surprised? Are you shocked?

“So whatever that is written in the novels about the present time being worse than the past are not lies…” Feng Xia opened his mouth, a myriad of emotions rising to his lips, culminating in a single sentence. “Now you answer whatever question I ask.”

“Well…” They all looked at one another.

“If you can’t give me satisfactory answers…” Feng Xia’s gaze suddenly turned to the Divine Light Bridge as a meaningful smile appeared in his eyes.

Everyone shuddered involuntarily.

Their strongest Eldest Brother, Bai Canghai, and their youngest but most talented junior sister were both in that direction. If Feng Xia attacked them, would they be able to withstand it?

“Everyone, don’t be fooled by him!”

Seeing that the entire group seemed to be showing signs of giving in, Feng Xia’s lips were curling up slightly when suddenly, a voice that was full of determination sounded from within the Thousand Autumn Valley group.

Immediately after, a grayish-yellow ancient talisman flew out. It rippled with some unknown aura, making one feel as if one’s soul would be sucked away just by looking at it!

“Eh, what’s this…”

Zhu Youniang looked over curiously. In the next moment, her body swayed slightly and she became silently fixated like a clay statue.

“I’ve seen a true Champion of the Dao Platform Realm before. His aura and methods are completely different. This kid is at most at the Inception Realm, but he’s definitely not a Champion!”

“Quick, while they’re immobilized by the Soul Absorbing Talisman, this is the best chance to deal with them!”

“Kill them! Take revenge for Eldest Brother—”

The voice spoke very fast, but in an extremely clear manner. It conveyed every detail into everyone’s ears and immediately made them very agitated.

The disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley started breathing very quickly. When they looked at Feng Xia and the girl again, there was a different look in their eyes.

It was no longer a look of awe, but the look of a hunter sizing up his prey!

“As mentioned, his Dao Platform is really too small. If a Champion’s Dao Platform is so small, it’s probably the weakest Dao Platform Realm in history!”

More importantly…

The Soul Absorbing Talisman!

That was a rather precious talisman. If one was careless and got hit with it, even a Divine Power Realm expert would become temporarily dazed. If he was a true Champion of the Dao Platform Realm, the Soul Absorbing Talisman naturally would not have any effect on him.

But was this mysterious young man a Champion?

Obviously, he was not…

“Eh, what is this piece of paper?”

Feng Xia suddenly reached out and grabbed the talisman that was floating in the air. He sized up the talisman curiously. “Can this thing fly by itself? If I put a few more pieces on my body, can I fly out even without the Divine Light Bridge?”

Swoosh—

The talisman in his palm suddenly ignited and turned into ashes that dissipated into the air.

Only tiny wisps of gray smoke, indiscernible with the naked eye, rose from the ashes and headed straight between Feng Xia’s eyebrows!

“What the hell? Why did it suddenly ignite? Is it a matchstick?”

A faint light flashed in Feng Xia’s eyes, as if the shadow of a lotus had appeared. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

The wisps of gray smoke exploded and dispersed unwillingly in the air.

“Eh, why did I…” Zhu Youniang’s body shook as she looked around in surprise.

“What—”

“What happened? The Soul Absorbing Talisman didn’t work!?”

“Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!”

The disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley were completely horrified.

They had even sacrificed the precious Soul Absorbing Talisman to subdue him, but in the end, that mysterious young man just destroyed it?

“Speaking of which…”

No matter how slow Feng Xia was, he had already regained his senses by now.

He turned slowly and walked over to them, his gaze like a torch beam sweeping over everyone from the Thousand Autumn Valley.

“We…”

Someone from the group wanted to retort. However, every step the young man took was like a step on their hearts, causing them to swallow all their words. Only the sounds of their beating hearts became more and more intense.

Thump thump!

Thump thump thump thump thump!

“I was dying to ask just now …”

Feng Xia’s tone was a little strange as he slowly walked past the Thousand Autumn Valley disciples. He did not have any powerful aura, but everyone lowered their heads uncontrollably.

“If… if you want to attack… you’ll have to step over my… corpse…”

A handsome young disciple finally squeezed out a sentence and tried to stop Feng Xia from hurting his fellow disciples.

“You have good looks. You’re a prime candidate for cross-dressing.”

Feng Xia patted him on the shoulder and walked past him without looking back. He stepped onto the Divine Light Bridge and headed towards the far end.

“Yes… that seems interesting?”

At this moment, Zhu Youniang seemed to realize something as well, and looked enlightened. “The human race is really a strange species.”

On the Divine Light Bridge.

Seeing the figure walking over resolutely, Bai Canghai’s face turned ashen and his breath weakened. However, after coughing a few times, he still forced himself up and pulled his youngest junior sister behind him to protect her.

“Eldest Brother…” The little girl trembled as her eyes filled with tears.

“Junior Sister Ling… Cough cough! Don’t worry, I’ll protect you…”

Bai Canghai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and straightened his body again. He raised his hand to untie the other sword at his waist and looked firmly at the person walking over. “Senior, it’s my fault for attacking you earlier. I hope you will be generous…”

“How old are you?” Feng Xia asked unexpectedly.

“Ah? I’m 24 this year…” Bai Canghai replied subconsciously.

“I’m 23, so you’re older.”

At this point, Feng Xia suddenly exerted strength under his feet. He suddenly appeared in front of Bai Canghai, as if he was trying to squeeze in, and reached out to grab the little girl!

“Stop—” Bai Canghai’s eyes almost popped out.

“Ah!”

The little girl, Junior Sister Ling, also screamed in a state of panic.

“I was already very curious just now… Your Eldest Brother clearly didn’t want to attack, and even when he did, he was subdued by me… But you repeatedly encouraged the rest to attack. Could it be that you want to make me enraged enough to go on a killing spree?”

Kaboom—

Feng Xia clenched his fingers into a fist and punched down mercilessly.

“Junior Sister Ling—” Bai Canghai wanted to turn around and save her, but he was still a step too late.

He had never expected this mysterious Champion to be so deranged. Not only had the man severely injured him, but he was also about to attack the youngest Junior Sister Ling!

Bang!!!

Right before his eyes, Junior Sister Ling’s body suddenly exploded, turning into countless fragmented black shadows that spread out like a mess of living black sand, dodging Feng Xia’s fist!

“How dare you… eh?”

Bai Canghai stood there in disbelief.

The situation in front of him made him think of a name—

“Thousand… Thousand Spiders Ten Thousand Poison Technique! You’re not Junior Sister Ling! You… You’re…”

“Hehehe… I really didn’t expect to be discovered…”

A frivolous laugh rang out. At the same time, the black shadows gathered together in the distance and condensed into the image of a slender woman. She had black hair and white eyes, and she wore a black veil. Even though they could only hear her laughter, it sent ripples through the calm of their hearts.

Bai Canghai’s pupils constricted and he felt his heart sink.

“I’m really curious… How did you manage to discover me?”

The woman’s eyes were fuzzy and she took a dainty breath as she smiled at Feng Xia.

Feng Xia stared at her like she was an idiot. “You didn’t hide yourself well right under my nose. Do I even need to try?”

“Are you stupid or am I blind?”
