Chapter 1389: Killing A Chicken To Scare The Monkey

The situation changed so abruptly that Wei Donghai was almost dumbfounded.

What was supposed to be a respectful audience had inexplicably turned into a challenge. No matter how strong Brother Yi was, there was no way he could be a match for the Star Lord, right?

Such an impudent and arrogant challenge might provoke the Star Lord.

The consequences would be unimaginable!

What was supposed to be a great opportunity was about to turn into a disaster.

Wei Donghai couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly tried to dissuade Yi Feng.

"Brother Yi, you must not speak recklessly! Such rudeness is unacceptable. You must apologize to the Star Lord immediately!"

But no matter what he said, Yi Feng remained unmoved.

Wei Donghai, both anxious and angry, had no choice but to bow to Long Tian and apologize.

"Star Lord, please forgive us..."

"Brother Yi absolutely did not mean any offense. It's just that he has never met someone as extraordinary as you, and he couldn't resist the urge to test his skills. That's why he dared to issue a challenge. Please, Star Lord, understand!"

As he nervously clasped his fists and waited, Long Tian, who stood with his back to them, showed no signs of anger.

Instead, his handsome face revealed a faint, superior smile.

A mere ant dares to challenge me?

This was truly laughable.

Long Tian was one of the top geniuses of the demon race. How could he possibly take an ordinary human cultivator seriously? Even if the real Star Lord of Yunxing were here, he was confident he could defeat them.

However, since someone had the audacity to issue a challenge, why not take this opportunity to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys? This would intimidate the natives of Yunxing and make them spread the news more diligently, ensuring the plan's progress would be more efficient...

This was indeed a feasible strategy.

Thinking this, Long Tian slowly turned around, his jade-like face still wearing a faint smile.

He spoke in a calm tone, exuding the demeanor of a magnanimous expert.

"I admire young people with pride and ambition. Since he has such fighting spirit, it wouldn't hurt to give him some guidance."

Even though he had been challenged, he remained so composed and even willing to guide a junior. Such grace was truly befitting of a Star Lord!

Wei Donghai was overjoyed, almost completely won over.

"The Star Lord's grace is truly beyond our reach! Thank you for your mercy, Star Lord!"

Yi Feng, seeing the Star Lord's demeanor, couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.

Even though the Star Lord looked quite young, like a fresh-faced youth, his virtue was impeccable, truly worthy of his status as a senior expert.

Without a doubt, this person's cultivation must be incredibly strong.

This was the true number one in the galaxy!

Since the other party had agreed to a fight, Yi Feng no longer needed to find excuses to provoke him.

He clasped his fists in respect and stepped forward.

"Thank you."

"Yi Feng seeks your guidance!"

As the fight was about to begin, the atmosphere had noticeably softened, resembling a teaching session from a senior expert. This eased Wei Donghai's worries, and he stepped back to watch from a distance, filled with anticipation.

This battle would undoubtedly be a great fortune for Brother Yi. Even from a distance, he would surely gain many insights.

What an unexpected opportunity!

At the same time, Long Tian finally took a closer look at Yi Feng.

Initially, he had been somewhat dismissive, treating this as a simple act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. But after observing for a few moments, a faint trace of doubt flickered in Long Tian's eyes.

Something seemed off.

The young man before him appeared utterly ordinary, to the point where Long Tian couldn't even discern his cultivation level. There was no aura emanating from him, as if he were just a mortal.

This ordinariness felt strangely unsettling!

Could it be that this person possessed some special treasure or cultivation technique?

This person had come with Wei Donghai, who claimed he had profound cultivation. At most, he was probably at the Heavenly Rank—a slightly larger ant, nothing more.

But how could such an ant possess a treasure capable of blocking his perception?

That didn't make sense...

The more Long Tian looked, the more puzzled he became. Although Yi Feng didn't pose any real threat to him, this peculiarity was highly unusual. He found himself staring, momentarily lost in thought.

Unbeknownst to him, the two had been standing opposite each other for over ten breaths.

"Whoosh..."

A gentle breeze blew past, and Yi Feng began to feel uneasy.

The Star Lord showed no reaction, nor did he make any move to attack. His calm and confident demeanor was indeed fitting for someone of his status, but this couldn't go on forever.

If the Star Lord continued to hold back out of courtesy, Yi Feng would never achieve his goal of seeking death.

It seemed he needed to stoke the fire a bit more!

With this in mind, Yi Feng spoke up, his voice steady and his gaze focused. "Star Lord, I have always respected only the strong, and I never strike first. Today, I am grateful that you agreed to this duel. To show my respect, I will let you make the first move."

"Please, Star Lord, do not hold back. I wish to witness your true strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Donghai's expression turned complicated, and his anxiety returned.

While Yi Feng's cultivation was indeed impressive, how could he possibly be a match for the Star Lord?

To challenge the Star Lord directly and then demand that he strike first—such audacity was too much. This repeated rudeness was truly inappropriate.

Wasn't this just asking for death?

He nervously watched from a distance.

Yet Long Tian still showed no anger. Instead, his eyes flickered with a hint of surprise, and he nodded with a smile.

"Oh?"

"How interesting. It's been a long time since I've encountered a junior with such fighting spirit. Since you have such a resilient Dao heart, I will give you a small taste of my power."

His words were calm and gentle, but his heart was filled with dark intentions.

Long Tian had already been somewhat puzzled by Yi Feng's peculiarity. Now, hearing Yi Feng's arrogant words, he felt a surge of killing intent. He would personally crush this ignorant and presumptuous ant, using this act to intimidate the entire Yunxing planet!

This act of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys was absolutely necessary!

His scheming mind was as deep as the ocean, and not a trace of it could be detected by outsiders.

Wei Donghai, however, took Long Tian's words as genuine praise, further deepening his admiration for the Star Lord's magnanimity. He stood at a distance, repeatedly expressing his awe.

Yi Feng, too, was filled with anticipation. He stood calmly opposite Long Tian and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Very well!"

"Please, enlighten me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Tian's smile remained, his expression seemingly calm. But the power gathering in his right hand was no ordinary Dao force—it was the terrifying and profound power of the ancient wasteland!

"Prepare yourself for this strike."

With a soft whisper, he flicked his sleeve, and a palm strike was unleashed!

The force was incredibly pure, condensed with the power of the ancient wasteland. Not a single wisp of energy was wasted, and the control over the strike was nothing short of perfection, reaching the pinnacle of mastery!

From a distance, there were no visible signs of the attack—it was as if only a gentle breeze had passed. Only those who were present could sense the terror within.

As the palm force surged forward, Long Tian's expression remained calm, but inwardly, he sneered. He could already imagine the scene: Wei Donghai, watching from the side, would be utterly shocked. News of this event would spread among the cultivators, leaving the entire planet in awe.

The power of the ancient wasteland was beyond the comprehension of mere Saints. No matter what tricks this strange young man had up his sleeve, there was no way he could withstand a single strike.

The gap in their cultivation levels was insurmountable, and no amount of tricks could bridge it.

After this strike, the entire Yunxing planet would be completely subservient.

Combining kindness with authority was the way to control people. Long Tian, who was well-versed in human psychology, had everything under control. This was his true terrifying nature!

On the distant sandy ground, Wei Donghai, still under the impression that the Star Lord was being gentle, nodded in silent admiration.

"Even after being challenged repeatedly, the Star Lord is still patiently offering guidance. Such benevolence and high moral character are truly a model for us juniors. Brother Yi is incredibly fortunate to receive such guidance..."

Under his watchful gaze, Yi Feng also paused for a moment, but inwardly, he felt a bit skeptical.

That seemingly weak palm strike didn't look powerful at all. The Star Lord was being too polite, as if he was too embarrassed to actually strike with force.

Could it be that his attempt to seek death was going to fail again?

In the next moment, the gentle palm breeze brushed past his ear.

"Whoosh..."

Aside from a slight coolness, Yi Feng felt nothing. He looked down at himself, checking carefully, but found no injuries whatsoever.

Everything was exactly as he had expected.

The attack had no effect at all.

Not only had it failed to kill him, but it might not even have blown off a single hair.

This Star Lord must not have used any real force!

He sighed inwardly, feeling a bit frustrated, and prepared to provoke the Star Lord again.

But just as he raised his eyes, he noticed something strange.

The Star Lord, standing not far away, was staring at him with wide eyes, as if he had seen something unbelievable. His expression had become extremely peculiar!
