Chapter 1, Emergence into the World
However, this fellow has been in our Nanyang Panheng for many days, and he is likely harboring ulterior motives. If we allow him to leave unchecked...
Jiang Feng felt a chill in his heart, not expecting that the young man could actually wield a magical weapon. It was unclear how profound his cultivation was. He suddenly leaned back sharply, sweeping his legs in a series of low, sweeping motions against the ground. A large amount of dirt and dust erupted violently, instantly covering the entire space, and in an instant, it transformed in the air into a massive earthen dragon that devoured all in its path, lunging forward with a thick, earthy scent that was almost suffocating.
The man, with a cold and stern expression, appeared slightly angry, yet his movements remained unchanged. He merely adjusted his body angle slowly, seemingly choosing the best posture to launch an attack. "Kid, you need not disguise anything; I know where you come from. Hmph, you overestimate yourself! How dare you have designs on our Nanyang!"
He stood up and shook off a layer of gray paper clothing from inside his outer garment. A layer that had already adhered to the pale yellow earthy glow of the paper clothing slowly fell away. Jiang Feng gradually took off the paper clothing.
Jiang Feng silently lamented, these two individuals possess remarkable skills, and it seems they have been tracking him for some time. No wonder he had not yet left the city when he sensed someone following him; had it not been for the multitude of people and distractions within the city, he feared the adversaries would have already taken action.
Hmph, this area is under our control. If he wants to slip away, it won't be that easy. Immediately issue the shadow drawing, and also release the spirit incense to mobilize the surrounding personnel; he won't be able to escape. The current situation in the city is not calm; we must focus our thoughts and strategies more on the city. A trace of fatigue appeared on the cold man's face, and he quietly wiped away a streak of blood from the corner of his mouth. With a desolate demeanor, he gestured to his subordinates to leave, then sighed, "A storm is coming."

The young man in black, whose face had turned ashen, seemed to finally react, filled with shame and anger. He wanted to pursue further, but was stopped by the cold-faced man, who said, "Let him go"
This is the earth-type magical power that was just countered by the opponent's punch, which shattered the earth dragon. If I had not been particularly cautious and worn this wooden paper garment crafted with considerable effort from the rare Luo Zhenhua, I would likely have collapsed on the spot
As Jiang Feng, who was solely focused on running, just managed to dash onto the riverside sidewalk, he suddenly felt that the sound of the wind around him had grown significantly louder, and even the raindrops hitting his body felt particularly painful. Just as he was taken aback, a surge of air collided with him head-on. In that moment, Jiang Feng felt as if his body had become weightless, as if he had suddenly soared straight up to the heavens.
This fellow possesses considerable martial skills, is equipped with talismans, and is exceedingly cunning. Reckless pursuit would only lead to greater losses. The cold-faced middle-aged man shook his head; if it were not for his subordinate being frightened by the earth dragon talisman released by the opponent, the Xuanji Qianteng Dart would surely have ensnared the opponent. Unfortunately, his subordinate's experience was still lacking, mistaking a mere earth dragon talisman for a genuine earth dragon technique.

These shameless individuals consume their own, drink their own, take their own, yet in the end, they still do not give themselves a clear answer. Don't they consider how easy it is for themselves? Now, it turns out that they ultimately have to go through a bidding process! If only they had said so earlier, I wouldn't have bothered to spend so much energy and money on this, these ruthless individuals!
Jiang Feng angrily cursed under his breath.
As soon as Jiang Feng stepped out of the bar, he felt the power of the autumn tiger. The oppressive and humid air by the river seemed to constrict his nostrils, and thick dark clouds loomed over the riverbank, heralding an impending thunderstorm
The young man in black executed a sideways flip, akin to a monstrous python turning over. The dart in his hand stirred up layers of intricate nets, and he lunged forward. In an instant, the withered vine connecting the dart sprouted countless lush green branches and tendrils, forming a bizarre network of leaves and vines that spiraled down upon him.
Crouching quietly at the edge of the forest, Jiang Feng pressed his ear to the ground and listened carefully for a long while, confirming that there were no abnormalities in the surroundings before he felt relieved. The wound on his shoulder throbbed painfully, but based on his experience, it seemed he had not been poisoned. Jiang Feng took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and poured out a handful of oil, carefully sprinkling it on the wound. Then, gritting his teeth, he vigorously rubbed the wound to allow the oil to penetrate as quickly as possible.
"Nonsense!" Seeing that his subordinates seemed to be terrified and lost their composure due to the sudden eruption of the chaotic earth dragon, the middle-aged man did not have time to explain. He strode forward, gripping his right fist horizontally, channeling his profound energy, a flush of red passing over his face, and suddenly struck out, "Break!"
As the sound of raindrops echoed, just as I stepped onto the street, large raindrops began to fall. Glancing around, I noticed that there were no taxis in sight on either side of the road. Jiang Feng silently cursed his luck and had no choice but to turn back, realizing that he would likely end up drenched in the rain.
Ah?
Completed! The terrified Jiang Feng knew without guessing that he had encountered a tornado. Every summer, the riverside experiences one or two such unusual weather events, and there are often witnesses to this spectacle. However, he never expected to find himself in such a situation. He hoped to land safely and, if he could emerge unscathed, he would definitely go to the temple to burn incense and pray to Buddha. This was likely Jiang Feng's last wish before falling into a coma.
"Kid, you can't escape! If you surrender, I guarantee you will receive decent treatment!" A middle-aged man, with an ordinary appearance but an exceptionally cold tone, bent his body slightly into a posture resembling a cat ready to catch a mouse, gripping a brightly colored serrated sword in his hand, exuding a chilling aura, his eyes like torches, firmly locking onto the target across from him
Even though there is a protective robe, it can only reduce the backlash of the returned magical power, but it cannot eliminate the force of the opponent's punch after shattering the Earth Dragon. Fortunately, after the Earth Dragon was shattered, the punch's force had weakened to a bearable level, resulting in slight internal injuries, which he could still endure. If the opponent's punch had been deeper, his ribs and internal organs would likely have been shattered. The Xuanhuang Dominating Fist is not something that just anyone can use, nor is it something that everyone can withstand.
A young man, dressed similarly, stood ten feet away, wearing a black outfit with thin trousers and soft-soled short boots. In his hand, he held a coiled withered vine whip, swaying gently, ready to launch an attack at any moment
On!
Recalling the signs of the opponent's empty grip, the middle-aged man felt a sudden chill in his heart. Could this be the trump card of this fellow? He quickly dropped to the ground and rolled to evade, while the opponent took advantage of the momentum to leap up, darting into the nearby forest like a swift swallow entering the woods
Jiang Feng did not respond, but quietly gathered his energy, pressing the tips of his toes deeply into the soil. The tips of his toes trembled slightly, as if they were doing something, while his hands formed a shape as if grasping an object.
The cold man suddenly leaped into the air, performing a strange aerial jump, like a fierce hawk pouncing on a rabbit, coming straight at me
Unexpectedly, he encountered a formidable opponent, which made him regard Nanyang's strength with a higher level of respect. According to his judgment, the other party should be a figure almost akin to the deputy of a military officer. To his surprise, this person was able to execute the renowned Xuanyuan Bajiang of the Liu family from Nanyang, forcefully shattering the earth dragon summoned by the talisman hidden beneath his feet. This individual should be a descendant of the Liu family, but Jiang Feng could tell that the opponent clearly had not yet mastered this secret technique passed down through the Liu family of Nanyang. The result of forcibly boosting his internal energy to deliver this punch was a backlash to his internal organs.

The intense pain caused Jiang Feng to involuntarily gasp, yet he struggled to restrain himself from making any sound, though he could not help but cough a few times.
Just as I managed to turn the corner, a torrential downpour suddenly poured down, enveloping the entire street in a thick mist of white water vapor
Suppressing the boiling blood within, a wave of metallic taste surged from his mouth. The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, ready to take another step, when he suddenly heard a sharp shout: "Look out for the escort!"
... ...
Not far ahead is the bar that just opened. This riverside bar enjoys great business due to its riverside view, offering an unobstructed panorama of the wide river surface. Despite the heavy rain pouring down, Jiang Feng did not notice the twisted vortex of air forming on the river surface, swiftly wandering across the water.
Ah?! The Chaos Earth Dragon?! The voice of astonishment was almost trembling, and the young man in black nearly turned to flee in panic.
The explosive force of the punch stirred the cyclone in the air, causing a strange howling sound as the torn air rushed forth. The seemingly ferocious earth dragon, under the impact of this unparalleled and overwhelming punch, had its dragon head shattered into a hollow, its magical power dissipating. The entire earth dragon then transformed into a whirlwind of yellow dust, counterattacking against the opponent.
"Dignified treatment? In the vast land of Nanyang, yet it is occupied by a group of arrogant fools. You might as well send your dignity to your mother!" Jiang Feng's eyes darted around, and with a slight exertion, the soil beneath his feet crumbled. Fortunately, this layer of soil shattered into powder, which could be put to good use.
One should not overthink; if one were truly a sorcerer or a mage, how could they possibly serve as a scout? When have you ever seen a mage or sorcerer engage in a direct physical confrontation with you? They would have long since invoked their spells to eliminate you.
