Chapter 1374: Martial Emperor

Outside the thatched cottage.

Chen Cangyun's hair was disheveled, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and his face was deathly pale. Anyone could see that he was on the verge of collapse, with no strength left to fight.

The three Martial Kings, with their terrifying insight, easily saw through Chen Cangyun's desperate struggle and continued to press forward, step by step, toward the door.

"Thud, thud..."

The steady footsteps were eerily clear in the dead silence, reaching the ears of the townsfolk of Qinghe Town who were watching from a distance. An indescribable sense of oppression made thousands of people hold their breath in fear!

Watching their city lord being forced to retreat step by step, everyone's hearts turned as cold as ice.

These three Martial Kings were ruthless. Even if the city lord were defeated, they would spare no one. Given their methods, this battle would undoubtedly end in a bloodbath spanning hundreds of miles.

Yecheng was finished...

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. Qinghe Town was also doomed to fall!

At this moment, as their tragic fate loomed, only the three Martial Kings achieved their desires, laughing wildly and unrestrainedly. Their laughter was so piercing that it made everyone grit their teeth, their hearts aching as if cut by a knife.

"Hahaha..."

"Chen Cangyun, your struggles are in vain!"

"From this day forward, the territory of Yecheng will belong to us!"

"No matter how famous you once were, you are now nothing but a dying man. Facing the combined assault of the three of us, even if you had countless elixirs, you wouldn't last. Even if the heavens favored you, there is no way out!"

...

Hearing such domineering words, the people's hearts sank into despair.

Chen Cangyun's expression also darkened to the extreme. He continued to retreat toward the wooden door of the thatched cottage, as if waiting for some opportunity, never showing despair in his eyes.

Finally.

The wooden door of the thatched cottage slowly opened.

"Creak..."

The soft sound was unmistakable in this life-and-death moment.

Almost everyone was stunned. The townsfolk of Qinghe Town were dumbfounded. No one expected Yi Feng to be so bold as to open the door and step out at such a critical moment.

Wasn't this just asking for death...

Wei Xiaowei and Xu Fengyue trembled, their faces pale with fear. They instinctively wanted to rush forward and pull Yi Feng behind them, but feeling the terrifying aura in the air, no matter how anxious they were, they couldn't take a single step!

The entire scene was filled with tension, the urgency palpable.

Chen Cangyun's body also stiffened, but he didn't dare to look back. He kept his head down, silent, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Regardless of what they felt, everyone's attention was drawn to Yi Feng's appearance.

Under the gaze of thousands.

Yi Feng remained calm, as if there was nothing unusual before him. Whether it was the thousands watching from afar or the Martial Kings standing before him, it was all just an ordinary scene.

He simply stood with his hands behind his back and spoke softly.

"Whatever grievances you have, don't cause trouble here. Classes are in session, and the children must not be disturbed. If you must fight, go somewhere else."

His words were light, his tone ordinary.

It sounded as if he were dealing with a few drunkards causing a scene, nothing out of the ordinary, just a common occurrence.

Hearing this, the three Martial Kings were momentarily stunned.

After scanning him with their spiritual senses, their eyes relaxed, and their faces gradually showed disdain. They coldly glared and shouted.

"Hmph, just a mere mortal."

"I thought he was someone important."

"Truly blind. How dare a lowly commoner like you comment on our actions?!"

The leader's eyes were cold, no longer bothering to look at Yi Feng. His murderous gaze was fixed solely on Chen Cangyun as he issued a chilling order.

"Pay no mind to other ants!"

"Don't let Chen Cangyun buy time to recover. We must kill him quickly. Fellow Daoists, let's attack!"

As the white-haired Martial King shouted, the three of them simultaneously unleashed their terrifying power.

In an instant.

Frightening spiritual energy surged around them. A fierce wind blew at the entrance of the schoolhouse, and the watching townsfolk were knocked back, cries of fear and despair echoing everywhere.

In just a few breaths.

The three terrifying spiritual energies merged into a river, like a surging tidal wave crashing toward the wooden door of the thatched cottage. Even the morning light was obscured by the vast sea of spiritual energy. Not only did the small wooden door of the cottage shake violently, but even the once-invincible city lord turned pale and staggered back!

Watching the overwhelming sea of spiritual energy rushing toward them, everyone trembled in fear, closing their eyes, not daring to look. Their hearts were filled with despair.

Wei Xiaowei's tears fell like pearls. She almost rushed forward without a care, but if it weren't for Xu Fengyue holding her back with gritted teeth, a tragedy would have surely unfolded.

With just a wave of their hands, they could stir the seas and rivers!

This was the terrifying power of a peak Martial King.

At this moment.

The entire Qinghe Town truly understood what despair felt like, forced to watch as tragedy unfolded before their eyes.

Just as the sea of spiritual energy was about to engulf them, even Chen Cangyun felt the breath of death. He quickly turned his head, his eyes filled with pleading.

Before he could utter a word, the terrifying sea of spiritual energy poured down!

"Boom!"

The overwhelming pressure stirred up a fierce wind, and the wooden door of the thatched cottage swayed like a leaf in the storm.

The brief peace and tranquility were utterly shattered. Even if one wished to avoid the chaos of the world, being in the mortal realm made it impossible to find true peace.

Yi Feng sighed helplessly and gently waved his sleeve forward.

Instantly.

No matter how vast the sea of spiritual energy was, it vanished without a trace.

With a single wave, all the terrifying power dissipated without a trace. The three concentrated spiritual energies were scattered by a gentle breeze, and only the morning light remained, shining as usual on the doorstep.

The wind was gentle, the sun bright, the sky clear.

The doorstep was once again peaceful and quiet, so serene that it calmed the heart, but at this moment, it felt somewhat eerie...

The sudden silence made the townsfolk of Qinghe Town, who had been gritting their teeth and bowing their heads, freeze. Feeling the warm and bright morning light, as if the storm had passed and the sky had cleared, many raised their heads in confusion and began to look around.

At this sight, shock began to spread through the crowd!

The wooden door was still there, and the city lord seemed unharmed. The terrifying scene from moments ago had vanished without a trace, as if it had all been a nightmare.

How could this be...

More and more people raised their heads in disbelief, staring in stunned silence.

The old clan leader's pupils trembled, as if he had witnessed something unimaginable in his life. He couldn't believe that the combined attack of three Martial Kings had been nullified in an instant!

"This..."

Behind him, Wei Xiaowei and the others had no idea what had happened. They simply stared at Yi Feng, who stood as calmly as ever, their minds unable to process what they had just seen.

The entire scene was frozen, almost petrified!

Only Chen Cangyun, standing at the doorstep, seemed to have survived a great calamity. He collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat, and instinctively let out a soft sigh of relief.

"Phew..."

At the doorstep.

The three opposing Martial Kings remained silent for a long time, but the trembling in their eyes was more evident than anyone else's. In their hearts, it was as if a massive boulder had been dropped into a lake, sending ripples of shock that refused to settle!

They had witnessed everything firsthand and were more shaken than anyone else.

With just a gentle wave, he had nullified the combined attack of the three of them. Such power was truly terrifying. Who exactly was this man?

At this moment.

Staring at the seemingly ordinary schoolteacher who showed no signs of power, they grew more and more wary. After a few moments of tense confrontation, their expressions darkened completely, and they dared not act rashly.

The white-haired Martial King, their leader, gritted his teeth and spoke words that shocked everyone.

"Sir, you have hidden your strength well. We were blind."

"Who would have thought that such a humble town would have a Martial Emperor in its midst? Your prowess is extraordinary. That single move just now was truly admirable!"

His solemn words sent shockwaves through the crowd!
