"You didn't even use your cultivation abilities, how could you be stronger than me?" Yu Zhongfu exclaimed.
Chen Jie, awakening from his enlightenment, felt an unprecedented comfort in his body. An explosive energy was accumulating within him, desperately needing release.
"Cultivation? What cultivation?" Gu Yue asked, puzzled by Yu Zhongfu's words.
Chen Jie grinned, "Thank you for helping me break through. Now, can you tell me your identity?"
At the same time, Chen Jie threw a punch.
It landed on Yu Zhongfu.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Yu Zhongfu was sent flying backward, knocking over several pillars.
He coughed up blood.
Severely injured.
"You..."
Yu Zhongfu was both shocked and enraged.
"What? Do you still think I'm your property?" Chen Jie strode towards Yu Zhongfu.
Yu Zhongfu's face changed drastically.
If he took another punch from Chen Jie, his body would be torn apart.
"Tai Xu Finger!"
Yu Zhongfu decisively cast a spell, shooting out five beams of spiritual energy towards Chen Jie.
The speed was so fast that Gu Yue gasped; if it were her, she would have been unable to block it.
But the next second, Chen Jie waved his hand, and his bronze sword appeared. He then slashed and chopped, none of the Tai Xu Finger beams escaping his cuts.
The speed of his sword strikes formed a blur, making it impossible for even Gu Yue's keen eyes to follow.
"Spiritual energy projection, and you call that a spell? Then I can do it too! Take this!"
Chen Jie extended his hand, and a terrifying true qi shot out from his fingertip, directly striking Yu Zhongfu.
Its speed was even faster, and its power was even greater.
Yu Zhongfu didn't even have time to react before his body was pierced.
"You, you..."
Yu Zhongfu pointed at Chen Jie, "How could you injure me with just true qi? This is simply impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible! Tell me your purpose, or you die now!"
Chen Jie said with coldness in his eyes.
"You think you're worthy of knowing my identity? Dream on!" Yu Zhongfu lunged at Chen Jie.
But Chen Jie, with a single palm strike, made Yu Zhongfu's body sound like an exploding thunderclap.
Blood gushed from his mouth, unable to stop flowing.
Chen Jie clenched his fist.
Only now did he feel a sliver of the explosive energy within him being depleted.
Yu Zhongfu pointed at Chen Jie, unable to speak due to his severe injuries.
"Trash! Are you looking for death? How dare you touch my dad!"
At this moment, Yu Feng had finished dealing with all the experts from the Wen family.
He had initially planned to subdue Jiang Xue and Lin Shuang after finishing these people, then spank them in public to tame these two wild horses.
But seeing his father severely injured, he was greatly shocked.
He could no longer care about Jiang Xue and Lin Shuang.
While shooting a dagger at Chen Jie, he charged towards him.
"Chen Jie, be careful!"
Chen Jie had his back to Yu Feng during this process.
Jiang Xue cried out when she saw this.
The dagger was aimed directly at the back of Chen Jie's head; if it hit, he would surely die.
However, it was as if Chen Jie had eyes in the back of his head.
He simply tilted his head. As the dagger flew past the side of Chen Jie's head, it stopped.
It turned out that Chen Jie had caught the dagger between two fingers.
The next second, Chen Jie exerted force with his fingers, directly snapping the dagger.
The power of his martial arts was terrifying.
"My Glazed Dagger!"
Yu Feng's heart was bleeding with pain.
It was a magical artifact his father had gone to great lengths to obtain for him from their sect.
There were six of them, and when all the hilts were used together, their power increased significantly.
Now that one was broken, his Glazed Dagger could no longer unleash its full power. It was natural for him to feel distressed.
He rushed in front of Chen Jie. Chen Jie turned around, his gaze sharp as he looked at him.
"Heh, do you want to kill me? Do you dare? Do you know who I am?"
Yu Feng knew that the current Chen Jie was not someone he or his father could contend with.
He simply sneered.
Chen Jie's heart stirred, "Why wouldn't I dare? Who are you?"
"You're not worthy of knowing who I am, but I'll tell you this: if my father and I fall into your hands today, you will suffer a terrible fate for eternity! Heh heh..."
Yu Feng sneered repeatedly.
Chen Jie didn't get angry. Instead, he said, "If you don't tell me your identity, I won't just let you two go because you bluff. Don't forget that neither of you treated me as human earlier. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, you will surely die today."
Yu Feng thought about it and agreed.
He immediately said, "Heh, it's not a problem to tell you. We are actually from the Qingcheng Sect!"
"What? Qingcheng Sect?"
Gu Yue exclaimed in surprise.
She quickly came to the side of the two and asked Yu Feng, "Are you really from the Qingcheng Sect?"
"You have some knowledge, it seems. So, are you still going to kill my father and me?"
Yu Feng crossed his arms and sneered. Seeing Gu Yue's reaction, he knew she wouldn't dare to make a move against him and his father anymore.
"We originally only intended to spar with you as ordinary people, but we were forced to reveal our extraordinary identities. It can't be helped; this is our mistake! This is the first setback in my experience traveling down the mountain, and I have grown today!"
Yu Feng said with a hint of helplessness.
"Miss Gu, you know the Qingcheng Sect?" Chen Jie asked in surprise.
Gu Yue said gravely, "Chen Jie, I do know. The Qingcheng Sect is listed as an evil sect by our ancient families because the cultivation methods they practice are contrary to heaven and earth, and are not tolerated by them!"
"You're spouting nonsense!"
Yu Feng said angrily, "What do you know? The cultivation method our Qingcheng Sect practices is a path to immortality!"
"The reason we're called an evil sect is because your ancient families are jealous of our cultivation methods and deliberately spread rumors! It's precisely because we have infinite potential and can dominate the world that you jealous dogs spread rumors in the secular world! Portraying us as an evil sect!"
Chen Jie asked in surprise, "Miss Gu, is the Qingcheng Sect very powerful?"
Gu Yue's expression was solemn. "They are not just strong; everyone who emerges from them can stir up trouble. Even we ancient families have to treat them with caution."
Chen Jie understood.
He had a general idea of the Qingcheng Sect's strength.
Then Chen Jie looked at Yu Feng and said, "Then tell me, why did you target me?"
"That's not something you should know! I advise you not to ask too many questions about things you shouldn't know. If you know, you know, and I won't say more. If you don't know, it's also fine. Because it involves too much, those who understand will understand, and those who don't, well, that's how it is!" Yu Feng said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jie grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
"I advise you to organize your words carefully, as this will determine your life or death!"
"Chen Jie, wait! The identities of these two are extraordinary. If you offend the Qingcheng Sect, the consequences will likely be severe," Gu Yue advised with concern.
