Daoist Li's brow furrowed slightly, but then a cold, mocking smile appeared on his face. "It seems the master of Flying Eagle has taught a megalomaniac."
"Not only did you fail to show the proper respect to an elder, but you're also boasting here."
"I don't mind teaching you a good lesson on behalf of that old man."
"And perhaps your old man never told you, but when he picked you up back then, he intended to cause trouble for me. Instead, he suffered a loss at my hands, even sustaining some hidden injuries. On his way back, he coincidentally picked you up, a stray dog."
"Although the annihilation of your Mu family has little to do with our Alliance, since you've become that old man's disciple, it's impossible for us to coexist peacefully."
Hearing this, Mu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't rush to attack, wanting to see how much useful information this old man could reveal.
The two consecutive events had already provided him with a lot of information.
At least the mystery of why his old master suddenly arrived in this city had been solved.
No wonder his old master never told him, it turned out he had suffered a loss at this man's hands back then.
Daoist Li let out a cold laugh at this moment. "I should have killed him back then. I never expected a single wrong move to result in that old man teaching such a monstrously talented disciple."
"My disciple died by your hand, and as his master, I will surely seek justice for him today."
"That old man Flying Eagle suffered a loss at my hands back then, and he probably hasn't fully recovered his peak strength. After all, the hidden injuries I left him aren't easily resolved."
"As for you!"
Daoist Li wore a disdainful smile. "You can be understood as me not taking you seriously at all. A young man like you, with some strength, dares to bark at us elders."
"You will pay the price for your arrogance and presumption."
He decided he would no longer speak with Mu Feng.
He twirled the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, creating a sword flower, and then thrust it directly towards Mu Feng's Dantian Qihai acupoint.
He didn't intend to kill Mu Feng directly but rather to cripple him first, then personally take Mu Feng to Flying Eagle.
Mu Feng's eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flashing in his pupils.
As the old man made his move, he had already guessed the opponent's intentions.
At this moment, the opponent was indeed underestimating him.
"I originally wanted to get more information from you, but you clearly don't intend to say anymore. Then we'll talk slowly after we fight."
"I've heard that the older people get, the more they fear death. I wonder if this holds true for you."
Daoist Li's expression turned colder. "You still want to kill me? I think you're looking for death!"
As his voice fell, the blade in his hand suddenly accelerated, thrusting towards Mu Feng again.
A cold light appeared on Mu Feng's face. Just as the blade was about to reach him, a dagger appeared in his hand.
The blade of the dagger reflected no light and was as thin as a cicada's wing.
The moment they clashed, the three-foot-long Qingfeng sword was instantly sliced off a section.
Daoist Li was slightly stunned but immediately reacted, withdrawing his sword. A solemn expression appeared on his face. To this point, he still couldn't sense Mu Feng's internal energy circulation.
His eyes were filled with astonishment. "What cultivation technique are you practicing? Even that old man, your master, couldn't hide himself this deeply from me."
"How can you hide from my perception?"
"Even if we were of the same realm, you would definitely not be my opponent. I have been stuck in this realm for over thirty years."
"Even that old man, your master, was no match for me. You must be using some treasure."
Upon saying this, his eyes were filled with greed.
"If you didn't have any treasures, you absolutely couldn't have reached your current cultivation level at such a young age."
"Hand over the treasure today, and I'll spare your life."
A smile appeared on Mu Feng's face. "You're truly greedy beyond measure. No wonder you wanted to attack me the moment you heard about that medicine, even though only a hint of that medicine had appeared, and it hadn't even been confirmed yet, you already made your move."
"Have you lived your life to the dogs at your age?"
"You're over a hundred years old and still haven't learned to curb your greed. You deserve what's coming to you."
As his voice fell, the dagger in his hand transformed into a black lightning bolt.
His figure also instantly appeared before Daoist Li.
Daoist Li hastily raised his sword to block.
His speed and reaction were quick, but he forgot that his long sword was of no use against Mu Feng.
The long sword was directly severed.
At the critical moment, he shifted his stance backward.
He merely dodged the vital point.
The sharp dagger blade directly grazed his shoulder, severing his tendons.
The broken blade fell to the ground, and his eyes were filled with unbelievable shock.
In that instant, he felt Mu Feng's aura. He felt like he had become a lone boat, while Mu Feng was a towering wave that could engulf him at any moment.
"How is this possible?"
"You're clearly only in your twenties, and you were picked up by that old man seven years ago."
"You've been cultivating for at most seven years, so why have you reached your current cultivation in such a short period of seven years?"
"It's absolutely impossible, who are you?"
His voice even carried a hint of madness. The scene that had unfolded had delivered a huge blow to him.
He had cultivated for over a hundred years to reach his current realm, and it was only when his lifespan was nearing its end that he broke through to the legendary Innate realm. Yet, facing this young man in his twenties, it had completely shattered his confidence.
Mu Feng's lips curved into a cold arc. "Perhaps it's talent. However, my old master was injured, so he passed all of his cultivation to me."
"I don't know what cultivation technique my old master practiced, but he told me that after transferring his strength to me, he wouldn't become a cripple, nor would he lose his lifespan because of it."
"And that old man is now constantly asking me to take over his responsibilities because of this."
A smile appeared on Mu Feng's face. Thinking of the moments he spent with his old master, he felt a gratitude that he would probably never be able to repay in this lifetime.
