Chapter 770: Ancestor Shangguan

When dozens of level-10 powerhouses appeared before the Shangguan family’s door, Shangguan Hongtao had no idea which deity he had offended. Looking up, he saw not only the Sword Emperor, whose strength was second only to that of Tian Dao, but also two elders—Zhen Wu. It was then that he noticed Bu Sou.
“Elder Bu Sou, what are you doing here…” Although shocked that Bu Sou had brought so many level-10 powerhouses, Shangguan Hongtao believed he was in no wrong regarding Ye Feng. After all, Ye Feng had killed his descendants whom he had nurtured for so long, so it was only natural for him to seek revenge.
“We’re just here to watch the show,” Bu Sou said, pushing Ye Feng forward.
“Mr. Shangguan.” The Ye Feng before him was no longer the same as before. Among the human faction, aside from Tian Dao, no one could match him, so there was no need to be subtle around Shangguan Hongtao. “I wonder if you still remember me.”
“You are…” Shangguan Hongtao carefully examined this level-9 powerhouse before him. He couldn’t recall meeting such a person before, yet he felt a sense of familiarity. After a while, he suddenly slapped his forehead. “Are you Ye Feng?!”
“It seems you still remember me,” Ye Feng said with a smile.
“How did your cultivation level…?” Shangguan Hongtao gasped in shock. He never expected that in just a few years, Ye Feng, who had once been active in the main realm, would have reached the same level as him.
“My cultivation level has always grown rapidly,” Ye Feng said with a slight smile. “I’m here today to completely resolve the conflict between me and your Shangguan family.”
“What? You, a guy who just reached level 9, dare to challenge me?” Shangguan Hongtao didn’t consider Ye Feng to be his opponent.
At his words, many of the level-10 powerhouses couldn’t help but laugh.
“I think you’re overthinking it,” Ye Feng said helplessly, glancing at the crowd behind him, inwardly cursing them as a bunch of nosy uncles and aunts.
“I’m overthinking it? Then tell me, how should we resolve this?” Shangguan Hongtao thought Ye Feng was too afraid to fight him and was about to make concessions. He crossed his arms and patiently waited for Ye Feng’s reply.
“Starting today, give up your plans to attack the Situ family. As for our grudges, you’d better forget about them too, starting today. That’s all I have to say. Whether you agree or not is up to you.” Ye Feng’s expression didn’t seem like a joke at all, leaving Shangguan Hongtao stunned for a moment.

“What do you mean?” Soon, he realized what was going on. “You killed my successor and still want to interfere in the Situ family’s affairs? I might as well tell you straight—killing my successor is something I can tolerate; I can always spend some time finding another later. But that woman named Situ Xuan, I will never give her to you. I arranged that marriage not for my worthless descendants, but for myself. That woman has a body of utmost yin and softness; she’s my chosen partner for cultivation together. That marriage was just to cover our tracks. With just a few sessions of cultivation with her, reaching the level of a top-tier warrior will be just around the corner. Of course, everyone knows that a body of utmost yin and softness isn’t very effective for reaching that level, otherwise I wouldn’t be revealing this now. Cultivating with her is also a blessing for that girl—her cultivation level will rise rapidly as well to that of a top-tier warrior…”

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold murderous intent spreading uncontrollably from him. “You deserve to die!”

“What, are you also interested in that girl?” Shangguan Hongtao saw Ye Feng’s furious expression and then realized, “No wonder you’re standing up for the Situ family… I see! Well then, out of respect for Senior Immortal, I’ll go easy on you this time. Let me use her first; once I reach the level of a top-tier warrior, I’ll give her to you. Although the effect won’t be as good as the first time, it should still be enough for you to reach that level…”

“Shangguan Hongtao, I originally didn’t want to kill you. I came here just to make you stop, so that our grudges could be settled. But it seems now that you must die!” Ye Feng stepped forward, his fists clenched tightly.

Shangguan Hongtao had no idea what was happening.

“Shangguan, we can’t help you with this,” Zhenwu, dressed in a purple robe, finally spoke up. “Ye Feng and that Miss Situ have already been privately engaged. By insulting her fiancée, even we can’t speak in your defense.”

“Senior Zhenwu…” Shangguan Hongtao finally realized he had said the wrong thing, but he quickly reacted. “Senior Zhenwu, are you sure you won’t help me?”

Zhenwu nodded, and the Sword Emperor beside him also nodded.

“What about you, Senior Immortal?” Shangguan Hongtao asked. “If I accidentally harm your descendant, do you promise not to attack me?”

Immortal shrugged and smiled, crossing his arms as he shook his head. “If I don’t intervene, whether he can be hurt depends on your own abilities.”

“Then I’m relieved…” Shangguan Hongtao smirked viciously before turning to look at Ye Feng.

“Any last words?” Ye Feng asked coldly.
“It should be me asking you that question.” Shangguan Hongtao’s expression darkened instantly; the other party’s attitude was simply too arrogant. Although Buxiu had said he wouldn’t intervene, it was impossible to guarantee he wouldn’t step in when it came time for him to kill. So, the battle had to be resolved as quickly as possible.
“Then there are none.” Ye Feng’s expression remained icy, his fierce killing intent surging forth like a tide, instantly dominating the situation and overwhelming Shangguan Hongtao in terms of momentum.
Shangguan Hongtao tried his best to strengthen his own momentum but could never surpass Ye Feng’s. He still didn’t believe the other party was stronger than himself; he was merely at a disadvantage. With no other choice, he struck first.
He extended a claw and unleashed his level 103 divine power with full force. A smile played on his lips, but inwardly he thought, “You, a guy who’s just reached level 9, having a divine power at level 80 is already impressive. How dare you be so arrogant in front of me…”
As this thought arose, Ye Feng threw a punch, its power exceeding anything he had ever seen from anyone else. Shangguan Hongtao’s expression instantly shifted from arrogance to terror. He tried to dodge, but the punch had already reached him.
With just one punch, Ye Feng shattered Shangguan Hongtao’s dantian, causing everything within it to collapse. The last thing Shangguan Hongtao’s remaining consciousness saw was Ye Feng’s fist piercing his abdomen—his final sight in life.
A level 430 divine power was beyond Shangguan Hongtao’s reach. With just one punch, Ye Feng ended the battle completely.
Seeing that Ye Feng remained silent for a long time, Buxiu finally spoke, not to Ye Feng but to the members of the Shangguan family below.
“Shangguan Hongtao committed many injustices and has now been slain. Your Shangguan family should disband from now on!”
Hearing Buxiu’s words, chaos arose among those below.
In just a short while, many people packed up their belongings and left quickly. The rest also began to gather their things.
“This matter is settled. As for your affair with that girl from the Situ family, decide on it. Then focus on your cultivation to prepare for the next great battle.” Buxiu patted Ye Feng’s shoulder, turned around, and gave a signal to the other ten powerful warriors, who then dispersed one by one.
