Indeed, in the eyes of those from the Holy Fire Sect, Chen Fei’s series of actions—whether it was killing someone right in front of Junn Yuanyi and Elder Xue Hongxin or spouting such arrogant and reckless pronouncements—were simply too audacious. They couldn’t believe he dared to show such disregard for their sect! He was truly courting death!

”Arrogant junior! Do you know, it has been a long time since I’ve seen someone dare to kill a disciple of my Holy Fire Sect, especially right in front of me, Xue Hongxin!” the Old Man with Brown Spots, Xue Hongxin, said in an icy voice. His eyes, fixed on Chen Fei, were like those of a cold, venomous scorpion.

”Is that so? Well, now you’ve seen it,” Chen Fei replied with a faint smile. Interesting. He’s just a First-Class Ancient Warrior, and he really thinks he’s an Innate Expert? What a joke. Who is he trying to fool?

”Yes, now I have. Therefore, you must die. Take this!” Xue Hongxin’s voice was frigid. The Holy Fire Sect’s flame flared brilliantly in his hand as he suddenly lashed out with terrifying ferocity.

In an instant, a raging inferno surged toward Chen Fei. The deadly glint of the Holy Fire Token within the flames was especially menacing, lunging like a horrifying serpent. It carried appalling power, with fiery waves lashing from both left and right, aiming to cleave into Chen Fei’s ribs. The sheer force of the attack was several times stronger than that of the previous attackers!

”Is that all you’ve got?”

However, Chen Fei merely chuckled at the sight. He flexed his fingers like trembling claws before suddenly clenching them into fists. A dreadful aura, like that of a ferocious tiger, erupted like a tidal wave. It was as if the Yellow River had burst its banks as he threw a punch straight at his opponent’s head.

CLANG!

Sensing a grave threat, Xue Hongxin’s wrinkled face contorted. He forcefully halted his own attack to block, using the Holy Fire Tokens in his hands to clash with Chen Fei. The deafening impact sent a shockwave through the air, causing the expressions of the onlookers to change in alarm.

”He... he can actually fight Elder Xue Hongxin bare-handed?” Everyone present was stunned. Junn Yuanyi’s eyes, in particular, were filled with a mixture of disbelief, resentment, and jealousy.

Xue Hongxin was a genuine, bonafide First-Class Ancient Warrior! Yet now, Chen Fei, a young man in his twenties, was able to fight him bare-handed, trading blow for blow! Junn Yuanyi found this absolutely unacceptable, and his heart swelled with jealousy and humiliation.

He, Junn Yuanyi, was supposed to be the Holy Fire Sect’s genius, a talent seen only once in decades!

But now, this nobody, Chen Fei, who was about the same age, was more powerful, more skilled, and more talented than him! Didn’t this mean that he, Junn Yuanyi, was inferior? Inferior to a mere nobody?

No! Absolutely not! I, Junn Yuanyi, am the true genius!

In that instant, a sinister glint appeared in the eyes of the Young Master of the Holy Fire Sect. Junn Yuanyi stared intently at the battlefield where Chen Fei and Xue Hongxin fought, searching for an opening. Then, gathering all his strength, he struck with the speed of lightning!

BOOM!

He fully unleashed the enormous power of the Seventh Layer of the Divine Skill of the Holy Fire Token, amplified one hundred percent by the Exotic Weapon of the Holy Fire Token, and launched a sneak attack at Chen Fei’s back!

”Another sneak attack? You’re asking to die!”

Chen Fei felt the ”minuscule” threat from behind. While he could have easily ignored it, the act itself infuriated him. It was another sneak attack, and a ruthless one clearly intended to be a killing blow. His anger flared, and his eyes glinted with an icy light.

With a loud CLANG, Chen Fei threw a punch that sent the Old Man with Brown Spots, Xue Hongxin, flying backward. In the same smooth motion, he snatched the Exotic Weapon of the Holy Fire Token from his opponent’s grip. He grasped it tightly, swung it backward in a single slash, and everyone on the scene heard a sharp cutting sound!

CLATTER!

The Holy Fire Token weapon, now broken in two, fell to the ground. The sound caused everyone present, including Junn Yuanyi, to flinch, their eyes narrowing in shock. A chill ran down their spines, and their faces froze.

How is this possible? That was a sneak attack from the Young Master of the Holy Fire Sect, Junn Yuanyi, yet this man reacted so quickly and even snatched the weapon from Elder Xue’s hands!? Damn it, is this a dream!? This is too incredible!

”You’ve brought this upon yourself!” Chen Fei snorted with dissatisfaction, seeing that his strike had only severed the weapon and not the man. Gripping the broken weapon, he slashed forward. A milky-white light, imperceptible to the naked eye, shot out directly at his target.

”Stop! Stop! We are from the Holy Fire Sect, and he is the direct grandson of our Ancestor, a Half-Step Innate Powerhouse! Stop, now! If you commit such an irredeemable act, you’ll have nowhere to run, and no grave to call your own!” Xue Hongxin’s face paled as he roared.

Junn Yuanyi was the beloved grandson of their Ancestor. If something happened to him under Xue Hongxin’s watch, then even with his status as an Elder of the Holy Fire Sect, he would face immense trouble. Even ten thousand deaths would not be enough to atone for his failure.

However, Chen Fei couldn’t be bothered to listen. With a casual flick of his wrist, blood sprayed into the air as an arm went flying. Junn Yuanyi’s face turned deathly pale, his eyes trembling with shock.

His arm had been severed by Chen Fei.

”HISS!”

Everyone present gasped in unison, their faces masks of utter shock.

That was the Young Master of the Holy Fire Sect! The grandson of a Half-Step Innate Powerhouse! Yet this man had, without any hesitation, casually chopped off his arm! How could this be happening!?

”You... you... you actually dared to sever my arm!?” Junn Yuanyi stammered, clutching the bleeding stump. His face was as white as a sheet, his expression one of pure disbelief.

His arm had been cut off by Chen Fei!

His arm was gone!

His strength would surely plummet as a result.

”If you continue to spout nonsense in front of me, I won’t mind aiming for your neck or your heart next time,” Chen Fei said, glancing at him dispassionately. In truth, his previous strike had been aimed at a vital point. Unbelievably, his opponent had managed to dodge at the last possible second, which was why he had only lost an arm.

Even so, Chen Fei had no intention of striking again. The man had sneak-attacked him once, and he had returned the favor. It was tit for tat. The fact that Junn Yuanyi had managed to dodge meant he was either lucky or strong enough that fate had not yet decreed his death.

”Who in the world are you? Our Holy Fire Sect has not offended you, has it?” Witnessing the scene, the Old Man with Brown Spots, Xue Hongxin, couldn’t help but ask, his tone extremely grim. He finally realized that Chen Fei was far too strong for him to handle. Daring not to act rashly again, he chose to be cautious.

”Who am I? Ask him,” Chen Fei said, gesturing toward Junn Yuanyi with a cold smirk.

”I... I’ve never seen you before! How could this be my fault!?” Junn Yuanyi roared fiercely. He would swear to the heavens that he had never laid eyes on Chen Fei before. How could he be the cause?

”Never seen me? Oh, that’s right, you haven’t. But you should know the name Hua Zhinan, shouldn’t you? The one you had He Che secretly deal with. He is my brother,” Chen Fei said, his initial light smile twisting into a fierce, cold expression.

”What? Him?”

Junn Yuanyi’s eyes constricted, his face a picture of absurdity.

What? It was because of him? Because of that ordinary person, he, Junn Yuanyi, had suffered such a disaster and had his arm cut off!?

No, this can’t be possible!

”I recall having someone send you a message, didn’t I? I told the Hex Family of Macau to release my brother. But what did you do? You had He Che detain him for another night? Hmph! Such arrogance!” Chen Fei sneered again.

”But sir, even if that’s the case, this matter is, at most, a misunderstanding. After all, we didn’t know that young man was your friend. Yet now, you’ve killed three of our Holy Fire Sect disciples and even severed Yuanyi’s arm! Was it necessary to be so ruthless over such a minor issue, a simple misunderstanding?” Elder Xue Hongxin couldn’t help but question.

He knew about the Hua Zhinan affair. If the young man truly was a friend of the formidable person before him, then their side had indeed gone a bit too far.

But even so, it was a minor incident—a misunderstanding, to put it plainly. Was it necessary to take things to such an extreme? To immediately kill three of their disciples and even cut off the arm of their Young Master, Junn Yuanyi! Wasn’t that going too far!?

”Ruthless?”

Chen Fei gave him a strange look and said slowly, ”To be honest, I didn’t come here today planning to kill anyone. But what did you all do? You attacked me without a word, even tried to kill me. So, in the end, it’s my fault?”

Hearing this, Junn Yuanyi and the others stared blankly, completely dumbfounded. It seemed... it seemed that was exactly what had happened.

”Him, him, him... and you.”

Chen Fei pointed to each of the three men on the ground, their lives hanging by a thread. Finally, his finger landed on Junn Yuanyi. With a calm and indifferent expression, he said with a faint smile, ”Those three, and you, each of you sneak-attacked me once. And I felt your killing intent. So, I returned the favor to each of them in kind, without restraint. Do you see a problem with that?”

At these words, the faces of everyone present, including Elder Xue Hongxin and the Young Master of the Holy Fire Sect, Junn Yuanyi, turned so grim and ugly they froze.

Yes, if they hadn’t launched unprovoked, lethal attacks and ambushes against Chen Fei from the very beginning, they wouldn’t be in this situation: three dead and one severely injured. And he, the dignified Young Master of the Holy Fire Sect, had lost an arm. Not only was his vitality greatly damaged, but his strength would likely plummet as a result. It was a complete and utter loss.

Their actions perfectly proved an old saying: They brought this upon themselves.

They got what they deserved.
