Huo Yuan Chen's eyes widened, and he slammed one hand onto the armrest!
Crack!
A piece of the armrest was directly smashed off.
However, such deterrence was clearly of no use to the twelve warriors before them!
"What do you mean by that? Or are you representing the authorities to deliver an ultimatum to my Huo family? Even if the authorities act, they shouldn't be so overbearing! My Huo family is merely in a cooperative relationship with Ji Dian Martial Arts. Now, even if the relationship is terminated, you shouldn't seal all our martial arts schools! My Jinmen Huo family has never suffered such unfair treatment!"
Huo Yuan Chen's imposing aura surged. Standing up, he began to advance step by step towards the twelve individuals.
The leading warrior frowned slightly.
"I do not represent the authorities..."
"No, you can represent the authorities."
A sudden voice echoed throughout the entire venue.
Huo Yuan Chen's footsteps abruptly halted, his entire body trembled, and he roared upwards, "Who?!"
Everyone also looked up!
They saw three figures descending gracefully from mid-air.
These three were none other than Ling Feng, Ji Yun Yue, and Li Tian Jiao!
The one who had spoken was naturally Ling Feng!
Ling Feng's words were extremely casual, as if a single sentence could decide the lives of all the Huo family members present!
With a light tap of his toes on the ground, Ling Feng appeared directly opposite Huo Yuan Chen!
"Huo family patriarch, is it? I am now officially informing you that from this day forward, all your Huo family martial arts schools will be closed!"
Every word was domineering and awe-inspiring!
Huo Yuan Chen, having lived for a lifetime, had never experienced such a powerful oppressive aura, even more terrifying than those he had knelt before in fear. The next moment, Huo Yuan Chen hurriedly retreated repeatedly.
After creating some distance from Ling Feng, Huo Yuan Chen gritted his teeth and furiously questioned Ling Feng, "Who are you? State your name!"
"Ling Tian Ci!"
Ling Feng calmly uttered his name.
Many people present wore bewildered expressions.
However, many of those seated could not help but gasp in shock.
Huo Yuan Chen's eyes widened even further, staring at Ling Feng in disbelief, and he gritted out, "You are the Zhen Bei Heavenly Venerable, Ling Tian Ci!?"
"It is I."
Ling Feng nodded, then pointed at the twelve warriors beside him.
"These are twelve warriors from my War God Regiment. Someone from your Huo family defeated my subordinate today. They possess some strength. Who is it? Step forward?"
As Ling Feng finished his introduction.
Huo Yuan Chen gasped again.
So they were warriors from the War God Regiment, this legendary terrifying legion that struck fear into all enemy nations in the Northern Territory. No wonder these twelve individuals dared to come to the Huo family to cause trouble!
The Huo family might truly struggle to deal with these twelve people!
Huo Yuan Chen's expression turned even more grim, and he subconsciously looked back.
At this moment, Huo Tian Zheng knew he could no longer hide. Taking a deep breath, he stood up, "It was me!"
"Oh? Another match then."
Ling Feng spoke indifferently, then said to the scarred warrior standing out, "You go out and fight. Don't be hesitant, fight with all your might!"
"Yes! I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
The scarred warrior stepped forward as if he were a fearless martyr.
Before him, there was only one path: to defeat his opponent. There was absolutely no room for retreat!
However, Huo Yuan Chen and all the Huo family members opposite them turned deathly pale or looked extremely grim!
What a joke!
Ling Feng's words made it seem as if he controlled the entire situation, completely commanding the Huo family to obey his orders unconditionally!
After all, Huo Tian Zheng had not yet agreed to continue the match!
Huo Yuan Chen frowned deeply and said coldly, "Your Heavenly Venerable, if there is any misunderstanding between us, perhaps we can sit down and talk. After all, we didn't open our doors when we established the martial arts schools before, and your soldier wasn't defeated too badly..."
"Defeated? My soldiers do not know defeat, only death!" Ling Feng directly interrupted Huo Yuan Chen.
Then, with a chilling gaze, he stared at Huo Tian Zheng and said, "I know you might have hidden some strength, but you should also know that if you go all out, you will be the one to die in front of everyone! It will not be my soldier!"
He was domineering and extremely assertive.
Huo Yuan Chen's mouth twitched repeatedly.
Huo Tian Zheng's anger surged, "In that case, the King of Zhen Bei is not here for a friendly match or to challenge us, but for a death match?"
"Very well, then I will spare your life. We will only determine the victor. If you dare not, then concede! All the commands my soldier stated earlier, your Huo family shall carry them out completely. With that, I can take my men and leave!"
Ling Feng's tone became casual, but his gaze towards Huo Tian Zheng held a hint of mockery.
Huo Tian Zheng's blood boiled; how could he concede without a fight?!
"Good, if that's the case, then let us fight!"
Huo Tian Zheng stepped forward, directly accepting the challenge.
Many people beside him also had flushed faces, clearly brimming with fighting spirit. They were truly unable to bear Ling Feng's suppression any longer.
However, Huo Yuan Chen in front frowned deeply and couldn't help but try to stop Huo Tian Zheng, "Tian Zheng..."
"Patriarch, this battle is unavoidable!"
Huo Tian Zheng directly interrupted Huo Yuan Chen's words, then fixed his gaze on Ling Feng and said word for word, "I accept the challenge today. If I win, we in the Huo family will pretend we never heard anything your people said! If I lose, then it is because my skills are inferior. However, I do not represent that our Huo family will submit to your tyranny. Unless my Huo family fights to the last man, we will absolutely not yield to you!"
This statement made Huo Yuan Chen slightly relieved and he nodded in approval towards Huo Tian Zheng.
Huo Tian Zheng's words also truly ignited the fighting spirit of the Huo family members.
They were not people who would concede without a fight!
And they were determined to fight until the very last moment.
"Don't act as if you're being bullied by me. Having ties with Ji Dian Martial Arts, not a single person in your Huo family is innocent!"
Ling Feng spoke indifferently, his gaze locked onto Huo Yuan Chen.
As expected, Huo Yuan Chen's pupils contracted. He could not face Ling Feng's sharp eyes and instinctively dodged Ling Feng's gaze to the side.
Ling Feng nodded slightly in his heart. With just this glance, Ling Feng could make a judgment.
Huo Yuan Chen was the one who truly knew all the truth. Whether the Huo family actively did something, cooperated with those behind the scenes, or directly took orders from them.
After this battle concluded, Huo Yuan Chen would inevitably have to explain himself!
Otherwise, today, Ling Feng would not mind leveling the Huo family and testing whether the people behind them truly cared about the Huo family.
If they truly didn't care, then Ling Feng would have underestimated these people.
However, in Ling Feng's opinion, such a result was absolutely impossible!
