157: Chapter 157 Today, I fight against Foundation Establishment cultivators!

The next day, as the horizon just began to glow with the first light of dawn, the obsidian Central Square of the Hehuan Sect Outer Sect was already plunged into an unprecedented frenzy.

The Life-and-Death Arena, a bloody place that rarely opened even once in several months, was packed today by over a hundred thousand Outer Sect Disciples and Menial Laborers.

It was a sea of people, a black mass of heads, with noise, discussions, and cursing intertwined, soaring straight into the clouds, as if to shatter the floating clouds in the sky.

On a high platform with an excellent view at the front of the square, Proprietress Hao Shuang of Tongbao Bank was lazily leaning against a grand armchair covered with snow-white fox fur.

Today, she had changed into an even more provocative dark red dress with high slits. Her exquisite folding fan swayed gently in her hand, but her charming, watery eyes held a hint of suspicion and impatience.

"Manager Fu An, what time is it?" Proprietress Hao Shuang asked, her red lips parting slightly, without turning her head.

Manager Fu An, the chief steward standing to the side, hurriedly bowed obsequiously, glanced at the sky, and replied: "Answering you, Mistress, only one stick of incense remains until the appointed time for the life-and-death battle. However, not even a shadow of that Qin Feng has been seen."

"Hmph, it really is a lot of thunder but little rain."

Manager Fu An straightened up, his face full of schadenfreude and mockery, and said: "In my opinion, that kid threw four thousand Spirit Stones at our bank yesterday and boasted that he would kill Senior Brother Gou Dongxi in three moves, but it was all just bluffing! He probably packed up and ran away overnight..."

Proprietress Hao Shuang's fan-waving motion paused slightly, and her eyebrows furrowed.

"Ran away? If he really did run away, although those four thousand Spirit Stones are now ours, it's a bit disappointing to miss this great show."

Proprietress Hao Shuang chuckled, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the frantic crowd below the arena: "But it's normal. An ordinary Qi Refining Level 7 Disciple fighting against Senior Brother Gou Dongxi of the Foundation Establishment Stage, isn't that a fantasy? I guess after the wind blew last night, he sobered up and knew fear."

"It's just a pity. Signing the Life-and-Death Arena contract gives you time to regret, but it will never give you the opportunity to repent. If he doesn't come, the Law Enforcement Hall will kill him themselves..."

The surrounding Disciples were also whispering, and some even began to curse loudly.

"Why isn't Qin Feng here yet?! I bet he wouldn't last one move, and if he runs away, who am I going to collect my Spirit Stones from?"

"Damn, coward! He doesn't even dare to show up!"

"What kind of bullshit number one in the Servant District is this? Scared out of his wits when encountering an Outer Sect powerhouse!"

"Those from the Servant District are all damn trash!"

Just as the noise in the arena reached its Peak, at the very moment everyone thought Qin Feng wouldn't dare to accept the challenge:

"Boom—!!!"

A burst of violent, suffocating blood-colored true essence erupted from the outskirts of the square without warning!

Immediately after, a figure like a giant bird, accompanied by a piercing whistle that tore through the air, descended from mid-air with the momentum of Mount Tai crashing down, slamming onto the obsidian Life-and-Death Arena.

"Crack, crack—"

The incredibly hard obsidian ground was actually forced into two spiderweb-like deep cracks by the terrifying force of the descent!

Gravel splashed, and dust rose everywhere.

As the dust settled, a man wearing a gold-patterned brocade robe with a sinister face, exuding a thick Aura of blood and evil, stood proudly in the center of the arena.

The person who arrived was none other than Senior Brother Gou Dongxi.

"Hiss—what terrifying pressure. Is this the strength of a Senior Brother at the Foundation Establishment Stage?!"

"Too strong. Just his Aura alone is enough to make me unable to breathe!"

The crowd below the stage felt the tangible killing intent on Senior Brother Gou Dongxi and took several steps back in fear. The originally noisy square instantly became much quieter.

Senior Brother Gou Dongxi stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the surroundings, his eyes flashing with cruel and arrogant light.

"Where is that coward Qin Feng?!"

Senior Brother Gou Dongxi roared, his voice mixed with the thick true essence of the Foundation Establishment Stage, exploding like thunder from the Nine Heavens over the entire square, making the eardrums of some Disciples with low cultivation ache.

"This Senior Brother is already here. Didn't that little bastard threaten to take my life? Why is he hiding like a coward now, not even daring to show his face?!"

The smug Senior Brother Gou Dongxi laughed wildly, his tone full of disdain and mockery: "What a piece of trash! Daring to challenge the majesty of the Foundation Establishment Stage. If he dares to come, this Senior Brother will definitely peel his skin, pull out his tendons, and crush his bones to ashes in front of the entire sect today!"

Dazhuang and Erzhuang, who were below the stage, jumped out like two loyal dogs upon seeing this, shouting loudly in agreement:

"Senior Brother Gou is mighty! That Qin Feng is just a piece of trash who can only run his mouth!"

"If he dares to show up, Senior Brother can crush him with one finger."

Facing Senior Brother Gou Dongxi's domineering entrance and crazy shouting, the surrounding crowd completely boiled over.

"It seems Qin Feng really doesn't dare to come!"

"Nonsense, coming is just seeking death, who would be that stupid?"

Proprietress Hao Shuang on the high platform also closed her folding fan uninterestingly and shook her head: "Let's go, Manager Fu An, the show is over. Go put the four thousand Spirit Stones into storage. This kid is, after all, a spineless coward."

However, just as Proprietress Hao Shuang stood up, just as everyone was preparing to disperse, and at the critical moment when the arrogant smile on Senior Brother Gou Dongxi's face reached its Peak.

"What's the rush? Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"

A calm, lazy, yet incomparably arrogant voice drifted slowly from the back of the crowd without warning.

The voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a strange magic, clearly reaching the ears of the over one hundred thousand people present.

"Swish—!"

Over one hundred thousand gazes turned in unison towards the direction the voice came from, like a tidal wave.

I saw that at the end of a path automatically cleared by the crowded people, Qin Feng was wearing a black robe, with his hands behind his back, walking with a leisurely pace, unhurriedly approaching the Life-and-Death Arena.

His face was handsome as if carved, and in his deep, abyss-like black eyes, there was not a trace of fear of death, nor any hesitation in the face of a Foundation Establishment Stage powerhouse.

All that remained was an indifference and disdain, as if looking at a dead person, deep into the marrow.

"He's here... He's here... He actually really walked here?!"

"My god, Qi Refining Level 7 versus Early Foundation Establishment Stage, this kid is truly impressive!!"

"He has guts. Just for this courage, I respect him as a man."

Under the shocked, stunned, and unbelievable gazes of the whole audience, Qin Feng walked up the steps of the Life-and-Death Arena, step by step, and finally stopped steadily at a place less than ten zhang away from Senior Brother Gou Dongxi.

"Is it you who killed my brother, really?"

Senior Brother Gou Dongxi narrowed his long, narrow eyes, sizing up the young man in front of him.

When he confirmed that the other party's cultivation was indeed only at the Qi Refining Level 7, the killing intent and contempt in his eyes instantly soared to the extreme.

"I won't mince words, I killed him."

Qin Feng glanced at him faintly and said: "Gou Changgen, like you, looks really disgusting."

"Little bastard, still stiff-lipped when facing death. Extremely arrogant! Die for me—!!!"

The roar echoed in all directions, and the 《Blood Evil Technique》 within Senior Brother Gou Dongxi was instantly driven to the extreme.

A thick, nauseating blood-colored true essence surged out from his body like boiling magma.

"Hum—!"

Senior Brother Gou Dongxi stomped his feet on the ground violently, and his whole person, like a bloodthirsty mad tiger coming down the mountain, rushed away with a terrifying sonic boom that tore through the air!

When he was still several zhang away from Qin Feng, he clenched his right fist violently, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi frantically gathered towards his fist.

"Fierce Tiger Mountain-Opening Fist!!!"

Accompanied by Senior Brother Gou Dongxi's roar.

The thick blood-colored true essence actually faintly condensed into a huge, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, vivid blood tiger phantom on his fist!

The blood tiger roared, carrying a violent momentum capable of shattering mountains and breaking rivers, locking onto Qin Feng's Qi, and smashed down on his head!

"What a terrifying punch!"

"If this hits, let alone Qi Refining Level 7, even a Peak Qi Refining Level 9 expert would be instantly blasted into meat paste!!"

The crowd below the stage let out bursts of exclamation, and many female Disciples even closed their eyes in fear, unwilling to see the tragic scene of flesh and blood flying next.
