Upon hearing this, Qin Feng looked at the burly demon with a cold gaze, his face expressionless as he silently stared at him.
The burly demon was utterly fearless, meeting Qin Feng's gaze directly with a contemptuous smile, and taunted, "What? Did you really think you repelled me on your own just now?"
"Hehe, Xiong Jingyun, I advise you to stop provoking Palace Master Qin, or you won't even know how you died," Lin Zhendong couldn't help but warn.
After all, they are now an alliance, facing a powerful enemy like the Soul Eater Clan. If internal conflicts arise, it could negatively impact the upcoming battle.
"Yes, Xiong Jingyun, Palace Master Qin's strength is far beyond your imagination. I advise you to be sensible." At this moment, the one who spoke was the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Extreme Immortal Sect, the woman who looked exactly like Ling Xueyan, named Ye Qingxin!
In addition, those who had witnessed Qin Feng's true strength firsthand also spoke up to dissuade Xiong Jingyun.
However, Xiong Jingyun looked disdainful, dismissing everyone's advice as nonsense and scoffing at it.
Even if someone at the peak of the Ancestral Emperor Realm is powerful, how powerful can they possibly be?
Xiong Jingyun looked around and let out a cold snort. "Stop praising him!"
"I don't believe that someone at the peak of the Ancestral Emperor Realm could have much ability."
"Hmph, just keep your eyes peeled and watch how I defeat the so-called peerless genius you speak of!"
Then, Xiong Jingyun turned his gaze to Qin Feng and said provocatively, "Kid, do you dare to fight me head-on?"
Lin Zhendong gave a helpless bitter smile and sighed softly, "It's no use trying to reason with a damned devil. Oh well!"
Ye Qingxin and the others also showed helpless smiles. Since Xiong Jingyun was determined to die, their persuasion was meaningless.
Qin Feng's lips curled up slightly as he looked at Xiong Jingyun with a hint of mockery, and said disdainfully, "You? Don't be ridiculous, you're not even qualified to fight me!"
"However, since you are determined to die, I will grant your wish."
After speaking, Qin Feng's aura instantly became sharp, and a powerful aura emanated from him, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
Completely oblivious to the approaching danger, Xiong Jingyun scoffed disdainfully, "I think you're just bluffing!"
"I was just careless for a moment, but now, I will never give you the same chance again!"
"I will use all my strength to deal with you and show you what despair is!"
However, just as Xiong Jingyun finished speaking, Qin Feng suddenly appeared in front of him like a ghost.
Before Xiong Jingyun could even react, he was struck by Qin Feng's fist.
Immediately following, a loud "bang" was heard, and Xiong Jingyun's body instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, without even a chance for his primordial spirit to escape.
He paid the price of utter destruction for his arrogance.
When everyone saw this, except for those who had witnessed Qin Feng's true strength before, everyone else stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
They couldn't understand how a cultivator who was merely at the peak of the Ancestral Emperor Realm could so easily kill a powerful figure like Xiong Jingyun.
Someone muttered to themselves, "He... is merely at the peak of the Ancestral Emperor Realm. Even if he launched a sneak attack, he couldn't possibly have killed Xiong Jingyun so easily!"
Another person exclaimed in amazement, "But he actually did it!"
Lin Zhendong and the others frowned. They hadn't expected Qin Feng to be so ruthless, killing Xiong Jingyun outright.
If the demon race investigates, it could cause serious trouble.
The great war with the Soul Devouring Clan is about to begin. If they were to clash with the demon race at this time, it would be a bad thing for them.
Qin Feng remained calm and composed, his face showing no emotion. He looked at the crowd before him and said indifferently, "Gentlemen, do you think I was too ruthless and shouldn't have killed Xiong Jingyun?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded subconsciously.
In their view, Qin Feng was too ruthless. It was just a verbal dispute; a lesson would have sufficed. Was there any need to kill him outright?
Moreover, with the great war against the Soul Devouring Clan about to begin, they all felt that Qin Feng's actions were suspected of undermining the alliance.
Xiong Jingyun is, after all, an important figure in the demon race. If Qin Feng kills him, the demon race will surely hold him accountable.
At this critical moment, all races in the Outer Heavens need to unite against the Soul Devouring Clan. If this matter leads to a breakdown in relations between the two sides, it will have a significant impact on the entire war situation.
Therefore, people are worried and dissatisfied with Qin Feng's actions.
Qin Feng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Hehe, if I don't kill him, will he still look down on me and think I'm easy to defeat as before?"
"Perhaps he will provoke me even more, trying to prove his strength."
"And all of this is because he misunderstood my abilities."
"So, what about you? Will this incident make you doubt my abilities and cause trouble like that guy did?"
His gaze swept over the crowd, his eyes carrying a penetrating insight into people's hearts.
It was as if they could see through the deepest thoughts and doubts in their hearts.
He knew that this battle was not only a contest with the enemy, but also a psychological game with others.
Only by making everyone realize his true strength can he earn respect and trust.
Everyone remained silent, unable to refute Qin Feng's words.
After all, Xiong Jingyun had clearly suffered a loss in front of Qin Feng, but instead of restraining himself, he continued to provoke Qin Feng.
If they were Qin Feng, what would they do?
Seeing this, Qin Feng continued, "I know what you're thinking."
"However, I, Qin Feng, have always had my own principles. If Xiong Jingyun dares to provoke me in this way, he must pay the price."
Just then, an old demon lord strode out from the crowd. His steps were steady and powerful, each one seemingly striking the hearts of everyone present.
His eyes were cold and sharp, like two sharp swords piercing straight at Qin Feng.
He snorted coldly and said in an icy tone, "Hmph! Isn't this just your way of establishing your prestige? Why bother with such high-sounding words!"
The old demon's words were like a cold wind, making the surrounding atmosphere tense.
His gaze was fixed on Qin Feng, as if he wanted to see right through him.
Then he continued, "You killed our demon race members. No matter what, you must give our demon race a satisfactory explanation!"
"Otherwise, this matter will never be left unresolved!"
Upon hearing the elder's words, Qin Feng's expression instantly turned cold.
His eyes flashed with a sharp killing intent, like a lion that had been provoked.
He stared coldly at the old demon, asking each word slowly and deliberately, "Then what kind of explanation do you want?"
