Fox Demon: The villain at the beginning

Chapter 405 Anticipating the Enemy's Moves
The lightning feathers on Ji Wuji's wings transformed into countless bolts of lightning, shooting out.

Amidst flashes of lightning, the scene unfolded like a sky full of blossoms, filling the entire field of vision.

Faced with this fierce attack, Jin Renfeng flipped his hand, and surging flames immediately erupted from his palm, transforming into a wall of fire that blocked the lightning.

Thump thump thump thump————

Like rain pattering on banana leaves, lightning collided with flames, producing a continuous roar.

"Well done! Senior Brother Wuji! Keep him pinned down like that!"

"Don't give that guy a chance to fight back!"

Seeing that Ji Wuji had gained the upper hand, the Deng family members immediately cheered.

Jin Renfeng, holding a flame, quietly observed Ji Wuji's actions, thinking to himself,
"The Ji family's Divine Wind Wings are truly excellent. They are good at both offense and defense, have a fast flight speed, and can be combined with other spells. They are extremely suitable for my Divine Volcano Manor."

The Qi Dao Alliance is home to numerous powerful families, and its members possess a wide variety of flying and leaping techniques.

If he simply wanted to find a movement technique, he wouldn't need to set his sights on the Divine Wind Wings.

While ordinary spells can increase flying speed, they cannot be combined with other spells.

For example, the Wen family's lightning magic can fly at a speed no less than the Divine Wind Wings, but due to the limitations of the spell, it can only be used by lightning.

It is almost completely incompatible with the divine fire of Shenhuoshan Manor.

Even if you copy it over, it will be of no use.

In contrast, the Ji family's Divine Wind Wings do not have this problem.

Due to its unique abilities, it can be integrated with almost any kind of magic.

Ji Wuji could fuse it with thunder magic to create a Divine Thunder Wing, so if he got his hands on the Divine Wind Wing, creating a Divine Flame Wing shouldn't be a problem either.

In this way, even foreign spells can be applied to all the disciples of the manor, and they can master them all after a few days of practice.

Before long, the strength of the entire sect will be enhanced as a result.

Seeing that the barrage of lightning from his wings was ineffective, Ji Wuji swiftly stepped forward, his wings transforming into two long swords, intending to engage in close combat.

At that very moment, the Qi circulation route of the Divine Thunder Wing also came into Jin Renfeng's view, forming a complete whole.

"Finally, the copying is complete!"

Jin Renfeng muttered to himself.

He memorized the method, and as he watched Ji Wuji rushing towards him, his eyes flashed with a change of expression. With a stomp of his foot, he appeared in front of Ji Wuji.

With a seemingly swift yet deliberate movement, his right hand reached out and gripped the other person's throat.

Like an eagle snatching a chick, Ji Wuji was thus suspended in the air.

"I lost!"

With his throat constricted, Ji Wuji dared not move again and quickly admitted defeat.

"Concession!"

"Release him," Jin Renfeng said calmly, clasping his hands in a gesture of respect.

Unlike at the beginning, after several challenges, defeating these ordinary members of the Masked Gang no longer stirred any emotions in him.

wow——

The Ji family members gasped in surprise.

"Senior Brother Wuji was defeated so easily?"

"Wasn't Senior Brother Wuji in the lead before? How come he lost so suddenly?"

"What kind of sorcery did that guy use?"

"It's almost like he could predict the future."

Everyone was talking about it.

Jin Renfeng remained calm.

For him, dealing with Ji Wuji was hardly a troublesome matter.

Under the Heavenly Eye Technique, he had a complete understanding of all of Ji Wuji's magical power.

Combined with the unique anticipation of the enemy's moves in the Dugu Sword Technique, Ji Wuji's every move could not be hidden from him.

Even before he made a move, Jin Renfeng could predict his next action.

In this way, no matter how fast Ji Wuji is, defeating him will be a piece of cake.

"Is there anyone else who dares to step forward and accept the challenge?"

Jin Renfeng asked.

"I come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thin disciple stepped forward.

Jin Renfeng looked up and saw Ji Wushuang, who was there during the newcomer martial arts competition.

"I regret that I did not get to meet Brother Jin during the Newcomer Martial Arts Tournament."

Ji Wushuang clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"Today I can finally relieve the pent-up frustration in my heart!"

Jin Renfeng nodded, said nothing more, and raised his hand to signal him to make the first move.

Ji Wushuang took a deep breath, and her magical power surged forth, transforming into two 10-foot-long azure wings on her back. She then took flight.

Compared to Ji Wuji's Divine Thunder Wings, what he used was the authentic Divine Wind Wings.

Like a gust of wind, Ji Wushuang left several afterimages in her wake, and arrived in front of Jin Renfeng in an instant.

He raised his hands, and two curved blades appeared in his palms without him noticing. He slashed straight at the man's neck, one in front and one behind.

Faced with the double swords attack, Jin Renfeng remained calm, flicked his finger, and a burst of energy shot out, striking the first blade squarely.

when--

A crisp sound rang out, and with the force of the impact, the curved blade was instantly flung away.

Jin Renfeng seized the opportunity and entered, lightly extending his ape-like arm and twisting his wolf-like waist, easily and skillfully grabbing Ji Wushuang's throat.

Just like Ji Wuji before him, Ji Wushuang was also subdued by Jin Renfeng in the blink of an eye.

However, Ji Wushuang did not stop. She turned her blade around and slashed at his chest.

They were actually trying to force Jin Renfeng to stop by fighting a mutually destructive strategy.

Jin Renfeng smiled with admiration. To be able to think of a desperate strategy when one's life is at the mercy of others—this move alone shows that Ji Wushuang's combat experience far surpasses that of Ji Wuji.

Jin Renfeng raised his finger, golden light swirling around it, and with a flick of his wrist, the blade was sent flying again.

Without her magic weapon, Ji Wushuang was immediately powerless to resist.

"I have lost!"

Ji Wushuang answered honestly.

Jin Renfeng loosened his grip and released his hold.

Ji Wushuang gave a bitter smile.

He never imagined that in just a few years, the gap between the two of them would have reached such a level.

In the newcomer martial arts competition that year, although he was weaker than Jin Renfeng, the gap was not too large.

Even if they couldn't defeat him in a head-on fight, it would take at least a hundred moves before they were defeated.

Now, several years later, he can't even withstand a single move from him, and is like an infant in his hands.

"Who else dares to fight me?"

Jin Renfeng shouted loudly.

The Ji family members exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Ji Wushuang and Ji Wuji are already the two most outstanding figures in their Ji family, and even they are no match for him. Who else could defeat Jin Renfeng?
Seeing that none of the Ji family disciples responded, Jin Renfeng turned his gaze to the group of elders standing with their hands behind their backs on the cliff.

"None of the younger generation dares to make a move. Would the elders be willing to step in and offer some guidance?"

Jin Renfeng spoke provocatively.

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Ji family couldn't help but show their unease.

During this period, news from the Deng family gradually reached their ears, and thus they learned about everything that had happened in Ironstone Valley.

The head of a first-rate family, along with nine elders, unleashed their clan-protecting formation with all their might, yet they were still nearly reduced to ashes. Had Elder Li not intervened, the Deng family might not even exist today.

In terms of strength, the Ji family is still inferior to the Deng family. Even the Deng family's Ten Buddha Formation was no match for Jin Renfeng, so they, alone, would naturally not fare well.

If we act rashly, we are very likely to lose face completely.

They were, after all, elders of powerful families. Even if they weren't in danger of dying, if a junior beat them to a pulp in front of everyone, they would lose all face.

Thinking of the consequences, the elders were hesitant and dared not step forward.

"What, are all the elders of the Ji family a bunch of cowards?"

Jin Renfeng made a sarcastic remark.

"You don't even dare to lay a hand on me, a junior?"

Like the Deng family, the Ji family is also a direct descendant of the Wangquan family, and can be considered a member of the opposing faction of Shenhuo Mountain Manor.

He had no scruples when it came to his enemies; if he could taunt them, he would do his utmost to do so.

"This guy really has the potential to be a villain!"

Seeing Jin Renfeng's behavior, Li Muchen curled his lip and said.

Huai Zhu smiled, it was the first time she had seen her senior brother like this, and she found it quite amusing.

On the other side, seeing a junior so provocative, the elders of the Ji family were furious.

"Jin Renfeng, what's there to be so proud of? You're just relying on having a top-tier demon king's magic weapon, aren't you?"

An elder shouted angrily.

"Without your magic weapon, how much strength do you have?"

"That's right, I do have such strength because I possess a great demon king's magic weapon."

Jin Renfeng said calmly,

"But tell me, among the human race, who doesn't fight using magical weapons?"

"Could it be that you don't possess any inherited magical treasures?"

The old man's expression changed, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.

As an elder of a first-class family, he naturally possesses a family heirloom treasure.

"Since you also possess magical treasures, then what makes you accuse me of relying on the power of those treasures?"

Jin Renfeng sneered.

"Could it be that you believe yourself to be so powerful that you can do without the help of magical treasures?"

He flicked his sleeve and said calmly.

"How about we both give up our inherited magical treasures and have a real fight?"

At this point, Jin Renfeng casually cupped his hands in a gesture of challenge.

Upon seeing this, the old man looked panicked, his legs went weak, and he dared not answer.

During the fight just now, the opponent did not use any magic weapons and easily defeated Ji Wuji and Ji Wushuang, who had the power of a demon king.

He is now old and frail, and his entire fighting strength depends on his magical artifacts. Without the support of his artifacts, he would probably be no match for two young men.

In this situation, how could he dare to step down and fight?

What's more, the person in front of him was Jin Renfeng, who had a notorious reputation and had almost killed the entire Deng family.

Given this guy's strength, if he were to enter the arena, he would probably be killed on the spot immediately.

"What? You were speaking so enthusiastically just now, why don't you dare to participate now?"

Jin Renfeng shouted and cursed loudly.

"A coward, a spineless dog, are you only capable of barking and howling from the sidelines?"

The Ji family members all turned their gazes toward them. Disdain, contempt, and all sorts of other expressions filled the air.

Being publicly insulted and pointed at, the old man felt increasingly ashamed, but whether he had the courage to step forward and fight was another matter.

He immediately tried to dodge backwards and disappear into the crowd.

However, none of the elders behind him dared to confront Jin Renfeng's provocation, so they put him in front of them.

The situation remained deadlocked for a time.

"Alright, stop pressuring him. Since you wish to fight, I'll gladly oblige."

Suddenly, an old voice rang out, breaking the deadlock.

An elderly man in white robes and with blue hair flew over from the manor, landed in the air, and stood in front of the Ji family elders.

"Homeowner!"

Upon seeing the patriarch appear, the Ji family elders were overjoyed.

"So it was the head of the Ji family in person."

Jin Renfeng laughed,
"It's not easy to see you, sir."

When he challenged the major clans before, their patriarchs always appeared immediately. Only the Ji family sent a group of elders to deal with it. He didn't even get to see the Ji family patriarch.

"Even if it wasn't easy, Elder Jin still managed to force me out, didn't he?"

"Ji Liang, the head of the Ji family, said coldly."

He had originally planned to hide in the manor and avoid this challenge, but after all the commotion, he still had to step in.

It seems I have a special connection with the Ji family, which is why I was able to bring out the family head!

Jin Renfeng chuckled and slowly drew the Xunli sword from his waist.

"I know perfectly well why you have come!"

The head of the Ji family didn't hesitate, pulling out two short blades from his sleeve and saying simply,
"Let's stop talking nonsense and get started."

Jin Renfeng smiled and said,

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer!"

The Ji family patriarch nodded, and surging magical power burst forth from his body. In the blink of an eye, two azure wings burst forth from behind him.

whoosh-

With a flap of his wings, he shot out like an arrow.

The speed is so fast that it is difficult to see with the naked eye.

clang--

Before anyone could react, a clang of metal clashing rang out. Looking up, they saw Jin Renfeng had somehow raised his longsword, deflecting an attack from a short sword.

"So fast!"

Li Muchen was stunned.

In that attack, she only saw a flash of blue light before their weapons collided.

Having missed his first strike, the Ji family patriarch turned and soared into the air like an eagle, appearing behind Jin Renfeng and thrusting the sharp blade in his hand straight at Jin Renfeng's back.

As if he had foreseen the future, Jin Renfeng turned around in advance and thrust his long sword forward, aiming straight for the chest of the Ji family patriarch.

If this sword strikes, the head of the Ji family will surely die on the spot.

Realizing the danger, the head of the Ji family immediately retreated to avoid the attack. Then, taking advantage of his agility, he soared into the air and thrust downwards from above.

Jin Renfeng stepped back to dodge the attack, and slashed out with his Xunli sword, aiming straight for the man's neck.

Left with no other option, the head of the Ji family could only block the way with his sword.

clang--

A sound of metal clashing was heard.

The head of the Ji family let out a muffled groan, his body flying backward like a torn sack. He flew for several miles before finally regaining his footing.

Although he was extremely fast, his strength was ultimately far inferior. Therefore, in a head-on collision, he still suffered a considerable loss.

"Concession!"

Jin Renfeng chuckled and casually twirled his sword.

Seeing that he was at a disadvantage, the Ji family patriarch looked grim. He took a deep breath and charged forward again.
