Goddess Painting

Inside the main hall, the dust settled.

Three figures stood atop the ruins, their bodies radiating spiritual light that illuminated the dimly lit hall.

The three men were as follows: the one in the middle had a refined appearance but a sinister look in his eyes, named Luo Yun; the one on the left had a red face and a thick beard, and a fiery temper, called Elder Liehuo; the one on the right was as thin as a rake, with shifty eyes, and was Elder Kumu.

The three people's spiritual senses swept over every corner of the hall like a tidal wave.

No!

There wasn't even the slightest hint of a peerless master!

Elder Luo Yun frowned deeply, his gaze finally settling on the young couple in the center of the hall.

Who are you?

His voice was cold and scrutinizing:

"Judging by your attire, you're not a disciple of my Crimson Cloud Peak, are you?"

Qin Feng took a step forward, shielding the still-shaken Lin Wan'er tightly behind him.

He stood ramrod straight, meeting the oppressive aura of the Marrow Opening Realm expert head-on, neither humble nor arrogant:

"My name is Qin Feng, the peak master of Tian Shu Peak."

"I've come specifically to... seek justice!"

"The Peak Master of Tian Shu Peak?"

Elder Luo Yun paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something, a hint of contempt and surprise flashing in his eyes:

"Oh...you're that child from the Qin family?"

"What? You weren't playing in the mud on your Tian Shu Peak, but came to my Chi Xiao Peak to cause trouble? And you want justice?"

"What a joke!"

He whirled around abruptly and shouted sternly at the group of timid, groaning disciples outside the main hall:

"Can anyone tell me! What on earth happened here?!"

"Are all the people dead?!"

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

Zhao Mang clutched his chest and limped out.

Of all the disciples present, he was the only one who wasn't seriously injured.

"Reporting to...Reporting to the Elder..."

Zhao Mang knelt on the ground, trembling, cold sweat dripping down his nose.

"It's...it's Senior Brother Tianyang."

"Senior Brother Tianyang has taken a liking to Peak Master Qin's wife... who is also the second young lady of the Lin family..."

"He insists on taking her as a concubine..."

"That's why Peak Master Qin has come up the mountain to fight his way up..."

"Nonsense!!"

The red-faced Elder of Blazing Fire stomped his foot, and the ground instantly cracked:

"This is utter nonsense!"

"As a direct disciple, what kind of woman can't you have? Why are you trying to steal a married woman!"

"If word gets out, what will become of Crimson Cloud Peak's reputation?!"

Elder Luo Yun's face was also gloomy, and he snorted coldly:

"Where is that bastard Zhao Tianyang? He's caused such a huge mess, where is he hiding?!"

"Get him out here!"

Zhao Mang trembled, raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion and fear, and pointed to the center of the hall:

"It's right there... right there..."

"We were just inside the main hall...we didn't go out at all..."

The three elders were taken aback and looked in the direction Zhao Mang was pointing.

The place was deserted; apart from Qin Feng and his companion, there was only…

A stark white skeleton!

"this……"

Zhao Mang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his voice became shrill and distorted:

"This...this can't be Brother Tianyang, can it?!"

"What?!"

The three elders were terrified. They moved like lightning and instantly teleported to the side of the skeleton!

Spiritual awareness probes in!

"This aura..."

Elder Luo Yun's hand trembled violently, and his face instantly turned deathly pale, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying:

"It really...it really is Zhao Tianyang!!"

"It's over!!"

Elder Kumu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his voice trembling:

"We're doomed!"

"Zhao Tianyang... he's dead?!"

"How could he die?! How dare he die?!"

The three people's reactions were somewhat outrageous.

Qin Feng watched from the side with a furrowed brow.

Even if Zhao Tianyang was a direct disciple and a relative of the peak master, his death was certainly a big deal. But these three were at least elders in the Meridian Opening Realm. Why were they so frightened?

The terror in his eyes was not feigned at all!

It's like... disaster is imminent!

The three looked at each other, their lips barely moving as they frantically transmitted their thoughts:

"This is terrible! Utterly terrible!"

"Zhao Tianyang is related to that lord."

"Now we're dead, not even ashes remain! If that lord punishes us... none of the three of us will survive!!"

"We have to find someone to take the blame! We have to give that official an explanation!"

After a few words were exchanged telepathically.

All three of them turned their heads at the same time and stared intently at Qin Feng!

Insidious!

Ruthless!

It looks like it's going to eat people!

"Qin Feng!!"

Elder Luo Yun suddenly stood up, pointed at Qin Feng, and roared fiercely:

"How dare you!!"

"Although Tianyang was at fault for taking a concubine, it doesn't warrant the death penalty!!"

"How dare you slaughter your fellow disciple in broad daylight, reducing his bones to ashes! The cruelty of your methods is nothing short of demonic!!"

"If we don't capture you today, what will become of our clan rules?! What will become of justice?!"

Qin Feng: ? ? ?

He was so angry he laughed:

"Are the elders blind?"

"He was already just a skeleton before I came in!"

"If I had killed him, would I be stupid enough to stand here and wait for you to arrest me?"

"shut up!!"

Elder Liehuo was engulfed in flames, clearly in a hurry:

"Still dare to argue?!"

"There is no one else in this hall besides you two!"

"If you didn't kill him, did he perhaps cut himself into bones?!"

They knew perfectly well what was going on in their hearts.

That terrifying pressure just now was definitely not something a mere Divine Power Realm kid like Qin Feng could produce.

There must be some experts here!

But the masters have vanished!

Now that Zhao Tianyang is dead, if we don't catch the "murderer" and bring him back to report, who will bear the wrath of that official?

Qin Feng.

That would be the perfect scapegoat!

"This kid must be captured! Hand him over to that person for disposal!"

Elder Luo Yun's eyes revealed a murderous intent:

"Qin Feng! Considering this is your first offense, if you surrender and come with me to the Hall of Law Enforcement to confess your crimes, perhaps I can spare your life!"

"Otherwise... I'll make sure you bleed on the spot today!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrifying pressure from the three Meridian Opening Realm cultivators was like three towering mountains, pressing down fiercely on Qin Feng!

The disciples of Chixiao Peak around them held their breath, their eyes filled with pity.

"It's over..."

"Qin Feng is really finished this time."

"With all three elders attacking simultaneously, he has no chance of escape!"

however.

Qin Feng, who was at the center of the storm, did not kneel down and beg for mercy as everyone expected.

He shielded Lin Wan'er behind him, his back ramrod straight, a mocking sneer even playing on his lips:

"really……"

"Is this how Chixiao Peak behaves?"

"Since you're being unreasonable, don't blame me for being uncivilized!"

"You want to take me?"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes:

"You three old geezers...you think you're worthy?!"

"Arrogant!!"

"court death!!"

The three elders were completely enraged!

How dare a mere Divine Strength Realm expert humiliate a Meridian Opening Realm expert like this?!

"Do it!!"

Elder Luo Yun roared, his five fingers forming claws, and with a piercing shriek that tore through the air, he aimed straight for Qin Feng's throat!

Elders Liehuo and Kumu also flanked Qin Feng from both sides, blocking all his escape routes!

This strike is bound to succeed!

Just when everyone thought Qin Feng was bound to be captured.

"roar--!!!"

A deafening roar, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, suddenly exploded in the hall!

Followed by.

Behind Qin Feng, the "calf" that was originally only the size of a water buffalo and inconspicuous suddenly grew to a huge size!

Purple lightning instantly filled the entire hall!

A terrifying and ferocious power erupted like a tsunami!

Its body, originally the size of a water buffalo, transformed into a moving small mountain in the blink of an eye!

Its thick limbs are like pillars supporting the sky, and its single horn is crackling with lightning, exuding an aura of destruction!

Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino!!

Complete body! !

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The attacks of the three elders landed on the thick scales of the Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino, only causing a few sparks to fly, without even leaving a white mark!

On the contrary, the enormous force of the backlash caused the three of them to churn with blood and qi, and retreat repeatedly!

"This...this is..."

Elder Luo Yun steadied himself and stared at the enormous creature before him, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino?!"

"A fully grown Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhinoceros at the Meridian Opening Realm?!"

"How is this possible?!"

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone was stunned!

Qin Feng... actually has a demonic beast at the Meridian Opening Realm as his bodyguard?!

What kind of configuration is this?!

"Moo!!"

The Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino snorted, and two bolts of lightning shot out from its nostrils. Its huge beastly eyes stared at the three "dwarfs" in front of it with a mocking look.

Qin Feng reached out and patted the Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhino's thick thigh, his gaze sweeping over the beast's body as he coldly looked at the three pale-faced elders:

"Now……"

"Can we talk this out calmly?"

Elder Luo Yun's face turned pale and then red.

We're in a bind!

I thought he was an easy target, but I ended up kicking a hornet's nest!

With this Earthly Fiend Thunder Rhinoceros at the Meridian Opening Realm around, the three of them would be lucky to take down Qin Feng, if not dead!

but……

If we don't take down Qin Feng, how will we explain Zhao Tianyang's death?

"Qin Feng!!"

Elder Luo Yun gritted his teeth and roared, his voice sharp but his tone weak:

"You think you can act with impunity just because you have a beast?!"

"This is the Qingyun Sect! Your act of condoning the monsters' violence only amplifies your crime!!"

"I refuse to believe that this beast can protect you forever!!"

As he spoke, he secretly transmitted his thoughts to the other two:

"Form ranks!!"

"Activate the protective formation! I refuse to believe we can't kill this beast!!"

Just as tensions were running high and a major battle was about to break out.

"well……"

An aged yet infinitely majestic sigh suddenly drifted down from the heavens, clearly penetrating everyone's ears.

Followed by.

The clouds parted.

A figure slowly descended.

"Junior Brother Luo Yun..."

"Bullying the weak with their superior strength, and even having to use the protective formation to deal with a junior..."

"Is this... how things are done by your Crimson Cloud Peak?"
