159: Chapter 159 Within Three Moves, He Perished!

"Ant, how dare you defy the Heavenly Dao?!"

An ancient reprimand, spanning the river of time and resounding like a great bell, exploded without warning from the mouth of the god-demon phantom behind Qin Feng.

"Hum—!"

The sound wave transformed into visible purple-gold ripples, spreading wildly in all directions with a force that crushed everything in its path.

The entire Life-and-Death Arena, crafted from obsidian, trembled violently under the terrifying pressure, and the hard ground began to crack with dense fissures.

Senior Brother Gou Dongxi, who had been charging with the killing momentum of a "Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain" and the unity of man and fist, bore the brunt of the impact!

Under the Soul-shaking roar of the god-demon, he felt his brain go blank with a "hum," and the Foundation Establishment Stage True Qi he had gathered froze for an instant. The lifelike Blood Evil Giant Tiger phantom, as if encountering something extremely terrifying, let out a whimper, and its light dimmed significantly in an instant.

"Th-this... what is this power?!"

Senior Brother Gou Dongxi's pupils contracted violently, and for the first time, undisguised terror appeared on his face, which had previously been full of arrogance.

However, there was absolutely no time for him to think or react.

"Die!!!"

Qin Feng moved; he simply and brutally threw his right fist out, meeting that Blood Evil Giant Tiger head-on!

The power of one punch caused the Void Realm to tremble!

This punch gathered the ultimate Physical Body power of the Heavenly Tyrant Body, carrying a violent will to destroy everything.

"Bang—!!!"

Qin Feng's flesh and blood body struck accurately against Senior Brother Gou Dongxi's fists, which were surging with monstrous momentum.

Time seemed to freeze completely at this moment.

Then— "Crack! Crack! Bang!!!"

The teeth-aching sound of bones shattering rang out suddenly. Senior Brother Gou Dongxi's pride and joy, his Foundation Establishment Stage protective True Qi, was torn apart instantly like fragile paper in the face of Qin Feng's unreasonable punch!

The Blood Evil Giant Tiger phantom exploded with a boom, turning into a sky full of blood light and dissipating.

"Ah—!!!"

Senior Brother Gou Dongxi let out a desperate and shrill scream. His arms shattered inch by inch the moment they made contact, turning into a spray of flesh and bone fragments.

But Qin Feng's fist did not lose momentum; after crushing the obstacles, it carried a terrifying, earth-shattering Qi and blood as it pierced fiercely through Senior Brother Gou Dongxi's chest.

"Puchi!" Blood sprayed wildly. The fist smashed straight into his chest, instantly turning his heart and internal organs into a pulp of flesh, before passing through his back.

The blood-Evil Qi dancing in the sky stopped abruptly at this moment.

Senior Brother Gou Dongxi was left hanging on Qin Feng's arm, his eyes filled with intense shock, fear, and disbelief.

"Yo-you..."

Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs constantly spilled from the corners of his mouth. He stared fixedly at Qin Feng's ice-cold black eyes, his lips moving with difficulty as if he wanted to say something, but the ebbing of his life did not give him the chance.

"Swish!" Qin Feng expressionlessly withdrew his arm.

Senior Brother Gou Dongxi's corpse teetered, finally falling to its knees on the arena with a "thud," before collapsing into a pool of blood, dying with his eyes wide open.

Within three moves, a Foundation Establishment Stage expert had perished!

Silence. A deathly silence.

In the vast obsidian plaza, the breathing of over a hundred thousand people seemed to have completely stopped at this moment.

He was dead... The dignified Outer Sect Foundation Establishment Stage expert, Senior Brother Gou Dongxi, had actually been killed on the spot within three moves by an ordinary Disciple at Qi Refining Level 7!

It simply overturned everyone's common sense regarding Cultivation.

"Hum, hum, hum—!" Just as everyone was still unable to extricate themselves from extreme shock, the stone tablet in the center of the plaza, which towered into the clouds and represented the highest honor of the Outer Sect, the "Outer Sect Foundation Establishment Ranking," suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.

Everyone's gaze was subconsciously drawn to it.

They saw that at the very bottom of the stone tablet, the light of the three characters "Senior Brother Gou Dongxi" quickly dimmed and peeled away.

Replacing them were three large, dazzling characters written in a vigorous, sweeping style—Qin Feng!

[Outer Sect Foundation Establishment Ranking, Rank 10086: Qin Feng. Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 7!]

"Hiss—!!!" The sound of gasps for air rose and fell across the plaza, like a hurricane blowing through.

"Qi Refinement Stage... With the cultivation of the Qi Refinement Stage, he actually made it onto the Outer Sect Foundation Establishment Ranking?!"

"A Prodigy, this is a true Prodigy. A Prodigy like him, why wasn't he directly recruited into the Inner Sect to Cultivate the Dao of Joy?!"

The entire scene instantly boiled over, and all the gazes directed at the black-clad figure on the arena were filled with awe and fanaticism.

In the crowded plaza, a woman wearing a pale blue dress, her face covered by a thin veil, was quietly watching Qin Feng, who stood on the arena like a demon god.

This woman was none other than Zhao Simin, who had been observing from the shadows.

The moment she saw this person on the ranking list, a dangerous, cold glint flashed in Zhao Simin's eyes. She clenched her fists slightly and thought to herself: 'A fine Qin Feng indeed. This lady's things are not so easily taken; just you wait!!!'

On the arena, Qin Feng casually flicked the blood off his fist. The god-demon phantom behind him slowly dissipated into his body, and his violent purple-gold Qi and blood returned to calm.

He didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground. He turned around directly, walked off the arena with a composed stride, and under the gaze of awe-filled eyes, headed straight toward the trading area.

… Tongbao Bank. Inside the bank at this moment, it was already in complete chaos.

News from the Life-and-Death Arena had spread throughout the entire Outer Sect as if it had grown wings.

Proprietress Hao Shuang crushed the teacup in her hand with a "bang," her originally beautiful face now pale as paper, devoid of all color.

"M-Master, what should we do? That brat won. According to the Heavenly Dao contract, at odds of one to two thousand, we... we have to pay him a full eight million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!" Manager Fu An was shaking all over in fear, his voice trembling.

Eight million Spirit Stones—they would have to sell the entire Tongbao Bank, along with the people and the land deed, to scrape together this astronomical sum.

"What are you panicking for?!" Proprietress Hao Shuang took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. A flash of ruthlessness and determination crossed her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said: "A mere brat at Qi Refining Level 7, even if his combat power is Heaven-Defying, he shouldn't think about taking even a single Spirit Stone from my Tongbao Bank. This is the trading area, not a place for him to run wild!"

"Manager Fu An, go immediately and invite Manager Niu Defa from the trading area, and tell him that I, Proprietress Hao Shuang, have a heavy reward for him!"

"Yes! Yes! This servant will go right away!" Manager Fu An scrambled out of the back hall.

Not long after. "Bang!" The magnificent door of Tongbao Bank was kicked open.

Qin Feng, in a black robe with his hands behind his back, strode into the hall, carrying a thick Evil Qi from having just killed someone.

The Disciples who were originally exchanging chips in the hall, seeing this god of slaughter who had just created a miracle on the Life-and-Death Arena, were all scared and retreated, clearing a wide path.

Qin Feng walked straight to the counter, scanned the area with cold eyes, and finally, his gaze landed on Proprietress Hao Shuang, who was putting on a brave front.
