"roar!"
A beastly roar resounded as the golden tiger pounced towards Gu Yifeng, causing the void to tremble.
"How domineering!" Everyone's faces showed surprise. As expected of the protector of the Heavenly Net Palace, he was so arrogant and domineering, completely relying on the strong to bully the weak.
"Buzz..." Strands of starlight swirled around him, and Gu Yifeng was bathed in starlight, dazzling and radiant, like a divine child. An incomparably powerful aura swept out, pressing down on the void.
Gu Yifeng lifted his foot and threw a punch. The space trembled, and a star halo flew out, expanding several times in an instant, transforming into a galaxy that engulfed the golden tiger, gradually annihilating it.
"This..." The onlookers were shocked by what they saw. Was the power of that star halo really that strong? It directly crushed the demonic aura of the golden tiger. It was practically invincible!
"This kid is actually so strong!" In the distance, Ouyang Huang's pupils contracted, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
This guy actually possesses such strength; it seems he underestimated this newcomer.
"So powerful!" Many people were shocked, and some even doubted whether they had seen it wrong. The power that Gu Yifeng displayed had far exceeded the level of humans of the same realm, and was definitely not comparable to the peak of the third level of the Yuanhuang realm.
Luo Kun's face was pale, and his gaze toward Gu Yifeng was filled with resentment. He cursed Gu Yifeng in his heart for being despicable and cunning, for deliberately pretending to be at the second level of the Yuanhuang realm and using external objects to launch a sneak attack. In reality, his strength had reached the fourth level of the Yuanhuang realm, and he hadn't even seen through it.
That bastard...
However, Gu Yifeng didn't care about Luo Kun's insults at all. His eyes were fixed on the old man in front of him, and he asked in a cold voice, "Are you sure you want to protect him?"
Upon hearing Gu Yifeng's words, the old man's face stiffened, and he felt a chill run down his spine and into his mind. He paused for a moment, then immediately changed his words, saying, "It's all a misunderstanding, please forgive me."
"Since it's a misunderstanding, then get out of here, or don't blame me for being ruthless!" Gu Yifeng glanced at the old man indifferently. The old man's expression suddenly froze, as if a sharp knife was held to the edge of his neck, ready to take his life at any moment.
"This guy is really arrogant. He actually dared to talk back to the Guardian in public. He's completely lawless!" The crowd was dumbfounded. Gu Yifeng's actions completely overturned their understanding. Was this the same person as before?
"You're very arrogant." The old man stared at Gu Yifeng with a livid face, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
"I've always been arrogant, and you only just realized it today?" Gu Yifeng mocked, extremely displeased with the old man's attitude.
"How dare you!" The old man was immediately enraged, his cloudy eyes revealing a hint of coldness.
However, Gu Yifeng ignored his anger and walked straight toward the boy.
"What do you want to do?" Luo Kun's expression tightened as he saw Gu Yifeng approaching, his eyes fixed on him warily, as if he were afraid that Gu Yifeng would make a move against him.
"Don't worry, I only need you to say one word." Gu Yifeng's gaze fell on Luo Kun, and he went straight to the point: "Are you willing to follow me in cultivation and become my follower? In the future, I will protect you, and you can enjoy half of my treatment."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding space fell silent.
All eyes turned to Gu Yifeng and Luo Kun, as if they were looking at monsters. Gu Yifeng's words were far too arrogant!
Although Gu Yifeng defeated Ouyang Huang's guards, Ouyang Huang was only at the fifth level of the Yuanhuang realm, while Luo Kun was at the sixth level. Gu Yifeng's demand for half the treatment clearly showed that he did not take Luo Kun seriously.
"Hmph!" Luo Kun was also enraged upon hearing this, and sneered, "I admit that you just displayed considerable combat power, but you think you can win me over with just a few words? That's ridiculous. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who's easy to fool?"
"If you agree to join my followers, I will spare your life and give you a generous reward. Otherwise, even if I leave here today, I will still send someone to kill you. If you don't believe me, try it." Gu Yifeng continued. He trusted his judgment. This Luo Kun was no pushover and had to be controlled with swift and decisive measures to stabilize the morale of the army.
Luo Kun's gaze shifted slightly, and his expression toward Gu Yifeng became more serious.
The young man was resolute in his words and firm in his attitude; he was clearly not joking. If he refused, he might really face retaliation.
"Well, have you thought it through?" Gu Yifeng looked at Luo Kun again.
Luo Kun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, as if he had heard the most foolish joke. He looked at Gu Yifeng with contempt and said, "Want me to be your follower? Wishful thinking!"
"Are you sure?" Gu Yifeng raised an eyebrow and asked again.
Luo Kun's eyes flashed with sarcasm as he said mockingly, "How could I, Luo Kun, be someone who covets power and wealth? What qualifications do you, a mere third-level Yuanhuang cultivator, have to rule over me?"
“Since you are so stubborn, I will not force you.” Gu Yifeng shook his head and sighed, then turned his gaze to the old man: “You may leave now.”
The old man paused, then asked, somewhat puzzled, "You don't intend to let him go?"
He knew that Gu Yifeng was exceptionally talented and that if he could subdue Luo Kun, he would surely lead Zifeng Tower to rise to prominence. Therefore, he did not want Gu Yifeng and Luo Kun to have too much of a falling out. However, Gu Yifeng did not seem to appreciate his efforts and even sent him away.
"Didn't you understand what I said? I told you to step back!" Gu Yifeng's tone suddenly turned sharp, and he swept his cold gaze over the old man. In an instant, the old man felt his soul tremble, as if he had fallen into an abyss.
"I... take my leave." The old man looked somewhat dejected, bowed, and then turned to leave.
"Haha!" Luo Kun suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so wildly that tears were almost streaming down his face.
He, a direct descendant of the Luo family, had actually been reduced to being scolded and driven away by a person at the third level of the Yuan Emperor realm, and in front of everyone.
This is the greatest humiliation for him!
Gu Yifeng looked at him indifferently, a cold smile on his lips. This Luo Kun didn't know what was good for him, and he was too lazy to be polite to him. Anyway, they were going to tear off the mask sooner or later, so why bother to show any mercy?
Ouyang Huang glanced at Gu Yifeng, a ripple of emotion stirring within him. He hadn't expected Gu Yifeng to be so decisive and ruthless, not even giving face to the Ouyang family, and directly ordering someone to get lost, right under his nose.
"What's your name?" Ouyang Huang asked, his gaze fixed on Gu Yifeng, his tone slightly softened.
“My surname is Qin,” Gu Yifeng replied.
Upon hearing this address, Ouyang Huang was taken aback. Who in this world would dare to speak to him like that?
Not only that, this man surnamed Qin also defeated Luo Kun.
“So it was you.” Ouyang Huang nodded, a look of realization flashing in his eyes. He remembered that Ouyang Yunze had mentioned a young man named 'Qin' last night, so this must be him.
