"Boom, boom, boom..."
Liu Nanfeng was awakened by a deafening roar.
"What's wrong?" Su Huamei sat up beside him, rubbing her eyes.
The blanket slid down, revealing her full chest. m..oΓg
Liu Nanfeng rolled out of bed, pulled the blanket back up to cover her, then went to the balcony and looked at the sky.
It turned out someone was attacking the Heavenly Gate again, and this time the commotion was even greater than yesterday.
Streams of red light shot up into the sky, igniting half of it.
Liu Nanfeng strained his eyes, and saw a figure standing in the sky, bare-chested, wearing loose-fitting trousers.
His entire body was crimson, even his hair, like a burning flame, with crimson runes flowing across his majestic form.
A massive scar stretched from his left shoulder to his right waist, appearing incredibly ferocious. Instead of detracting from his handsomeness, it only added a touch of wildness.
He punched the sky with both fists, constantly battering the Heavenly Gate. An invisible wave swept across the entire sky.
The gathering dark clouds were scattered by the impact.
But they quickly reformed, and lightning flashed within the clouds. Tendrils of lightning struck him, sending sparks flying, yet the mighty man seemed oblivious, unafraid, and continued to roar upwards.
"Huh? He's still alive?"
At some point, Su Huamei appeared beside him, looking up at the sky with surprise.
"You know him?"
"Don't you?" Su Huamei retorted.
Then, as if remembering something, she explained, "This is Daoist Chi Mei. He was famous throughout the land thousands of years ago and is one of the few remaining masters of the Tide Association."
"Tide Association?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Nanfeng's gaze fell upon the large scar on the man's chest, and he seemed to understand.
"But it was said he was already killed by you... by Feng Zhirun by the Huai River," Su Huamei added.
"Isn't Feng Zhirun known as the Peerless Sword Saint? He doesn't seem all that impressive," Liu Nanfeng remarked.
"Haha..." Su Huamei burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you for being jealous of yourself."
As they spoke, there was another movement in the sky. A massive Vermillion Bird Dharma manifestation appeared, letting out a melodious cry. The sound seemed to cleanse everyone who heard it, making them feel refreshed.
"No wonder," Liu Nanfeng said with a look of sudden realization.
It turned out that Daoist Chi Mei possessed the Vermillion Bird bloodline, which allowed him to escape death at Feng Zhirun's hands.
At that moment, Daoist Chi Mei, wielding his Dharma manifestation, charged towards the sky once more.
Liu Nanfeng raised his hand. Su Huamei saw it but did not stop him. However, Liu Nanfeng soon lowered it himself.
Daoist Chi Mei's final attack was incredibly powerful. With a mournful cry, a "boom" sound erupted, and the sky seemed to collapse. The entire sky appeared to ignite, as if he had punched a crack in it. A golden light shot out, falling onto Daoist Chi Mei's weakened body.
His depleted essence and spirit quickly recovered, and even the scorch marks left by the lightning began to heal.
"Haha..."
He let out a triumphant laugh. "Feng Zhirun, you still couldn't stop me in the end."
His voice echoed through heaven and earth, filled with immense pride and dominance, and overflowing with uninhibited joy.
"Heh heh..."
Liu Nanfeng let out a disdainful chuckle. He raised his hand again, his fingers transforming into a lotus. He reached out into the void, and his entire hand, up to his wrist, disappeared into the emptiness.
Su Huamei's mouth parted in surprise beside him. Then, she reacted and quickly looked up at Daoist Chi Mei in the sky.
Suddenly, a finger appeared behind Daoist Chi Mei and tapped his back.
The previously crimson Daoist Chi Mei was rapidly covered by a layer of frost. His fiery red hair instantly began to turn white.
Daoist Chi Mei was shocked and roared, "Who is secretly..."
Before he could finish, he reacted and leaped upwards, directly piercing through the crack in the sky and vanishing without a trace.
At this moment, several streaks of light shot up into the sky, attempting to follow him into the Heavenly Palace.
But just then, a colossal net of lightning descended, blocking their path. In that brief moment of delay, the crack in the sky healed and disappeared, leaving behind much regret.
"How did you do that?" Su Huamei turned to look at Liu Nanfeng, her expression filled with disbelief.
She was truly astonished now.
Although they could see Daoist Chi Mei attacking the Heavenly Gate, they were actually tens of thousands of meters away. Ordinary people couldn't even see a figure, only the celestial phenomena.
Yet, from such a distance, Liu Nanfeng had managed to strike him through the void. How powerful was that?
"It's very simple. I just used my hands," Liu Nanfeng said casually.
Su Huamei rolled her eyes. "You're just showing off, aren't you? Your progress is so rapid. How did you do it?"
"Actually, it's not my power that's so great, it's just technique," Liu Nanfeng said truthfully.
If it were a direct confrontation, Liu Nanfeng was 100% sure he would not be the opponent's match.
However, in terms of surprise attacks from a distance and skill usage, no one in this world could compare.
Because in his eyes, this world held no secrets. Many things, though not fully understood, did not prevent him from exploiting loopholes and rules.
"Were you trying to stop him the first time?" Su Huamei asked again.
Liu Nanfeng nodded.
"Then why did you stop?"
"Because the Heavenly Palace is not a good place. Earlier, the desolate beasts could enter the human world through the Heavenly Gate. And for so many years, there have been no divine manifestations. I suspect something has happened in the Heavenly Palace. It's good to have him scout the path ahead."
Su Huamei looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.
"Then why did you attack just now?"
Liu Nanfeng smiled.
"No matter what, Feng Zhirun was my past life."
"You really are a stubborn person," Su Huamei said with a helpless sigh.
While they were talking, the entire world had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Ordinary people were discussing the celestial phenomena, making all sorts of speculations.
As for cultivators, they were simultaneously excited and deeply surprised.
Excited because someone had finally broken through the Heavenly Gate and entered the Heavenly Palace.
Surprised that such a powerful being was still critically injured by a single finger and ultimately had to flee into the Heavenly Palace.
There were such powerful individuals on Earth.
Thus, a storm of speculation arose, with many wondering about the owner of that finger.
And at this moment, the owner of that finger sat at the dining table, propping his hands, awaiting breakfast.
"Are we going to the supermarket later?"
Su Huamei brought the prepared breakfast out of the kitchen and sat opposite him.
"Yes, we..."
Before he could finish speaking, a massive booming impact sounded from outside again, shaking the ground instantly. The entire building trembled as if an earthquake had struck.
Indeed, this world was beginning to become unstable.
