Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 1317 - 1416: Beyond Expectations

A disciple from the Xifu Sect finally registered the disturbance and immediately cried out. However, before the sound had fully registered with those nearby, a blur streaked towards the central tent and ripped it open. Inside, two guards, established figures within the True Yuan Dynasty realm and part of Lan Yue’s Xifu Sect affiliation, were present.

"Gentlemen, your assignment has concluded," Qin Feng declared with a chilling smirk. As he spoke, he moved with lightning-like swiftness, launching a ferocious attack on a disciple of the West Buddha Sect. This sudden onslaught caused the West Rune Sect disciple to instinctively retaliate with a powerful punch. However, the sheer force of Qin Feng’s assault far surpassed his opponent’s expectations. Upon their initial clash, the Xifu Sect disciple’s face turned ashen, he let out a pained groan, spat blood, and his body sailed through the air in a parabolic arc.

"It's that brat who jumped off the cliff! Kill him!" As the Xifu Sect disciple was sent flying by the impact, he urgently shouted to his bewildered comrades amidst the sudden turn of events. Yet, before his words had even finished, Qin Feng astonishingly reappeared, executing a backward somersault.

Mid-air, a shadow flashed out. As he passed the Xifu Sect disciple, his elbow connected sharply with the latter's throat. Suddenly, a 'crack' echoed through the desolate forest.

"You're alive!" Seeing it was Qin Feng, Lan Yueliang, who had been seated, abruptly stood up in astonishment. (/\) Her weariness was still etched on her face, now overlaid with disbelief. She had poisoned Qin Feng twice previously. Considering he had fallen from the cliff after that, Lan Yueliang had always assumed Qin Feng would perish in the descent, facing greater peril. To her surprise, Qin Feng had not only survived but had also reappeared so swiftly to save her! The man who consistently evoked a sense of distinctiveness and intrigue within her was truly no ordinary individual!

"You wished for my demise?" Qin Feng lightly touched his nose and inquired with a smile.

Lan Yueliang was just about to respond when she abruptly turned her head to observe. The entire contingent from the West Gate was advancing, led by Xie Xuan, who had previously sealed the exit.

"You impudent brat, how dare you still breathe!" Upon recognizing Qin Feng, Xie Xuan’s face contorted with fury. He instinctively touched the empty sleeve of his right arm.

"You desire my death? Can this piece of trash even accomplish such a task?" Qin Feng scoffed. With his current strength, he held little regard for Xie Xuan and his ilk. Even accounting for Lan Yueliang's safety, he felt confident he could dispatch these clowns with minimal effort.

"Your confidence is truly commendable, haha," Xie Xuan responded, a smile playing on his lips as he addressed Qin Feng, his tone hinting at a hidden agenda.

Qin Feng met Xie Xuan’s self-assured and arrogant gaze, his own expression placid, his voice devoid of any emotion: "Why don't you attempt it?"

"Worry not, you are already as good as dead!"

Xie Xuan took a deep swig of wine and advanced menacingly. The immense spiritual power within him surged forth explosively. The potent spiritual energy caused a slight shift in Qin Feng’s demeanor.

"He has cultivated the Voodoo Body technique. Within three years, he could return to the Yuan Country. His cultivation speed far surpasses imagination. Be cautious!" Lan Yueliang quickly offered, a note of surprise in her voice.

"No wonder their breakthrough was so rapid. He is about to reach the fifth level of True Essence," Qin Feng mused inwardly, his heart quickening. He had been somewhat careless. His initial assessment was that even if Xie Xuan broke through, he would only marginally reach the fourth level of True Essence. However, achieving the fifth level of True Essence is a distinct leap from merely reaching the fourth. Xie Xuan's current spiritual power was comparable to his own. Defeating him would be simple now; however, overcoming him while ensuring Lan Yueliang's safety presented a considerable challenge.

After all, numerous disciples from the Xifu Sect had already surpassed the Virtual Meta stage.

"I understand. I will act tonight. After I rescue Lan Yueliang, I will deal with these individuals!" Qin Feng declared with a sigh.

"Hahaha, are you intimidated by my charge?" Xie Xuan guffawed wildly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation of revenge for his severed arm. "Fear not, I shall torment you slowly before delivering death." Seeing Qin Feng’s grim expression, Xie Xuan couldn't suppress his laughter. He suddenly lunged forward, his palm striking out fiercely, generating violent winds. His feet pounded the ground as he moved like lightning before Qin Feng, unleashing a ferocious claw attack that unfurled like a vast net, aimed at engulfing Qin Feng.

"That's more like it!" Faced with the onslaught from Xie Xuan and his associates, Qin Feng shielded Lan Yue with one hand while rapidly clenching his other fist. In an instant, the spiritual power within his body converged with the initial gust of wind, then unleashed itself with explosive force.

"Boom!"

As their fists and palms collided, Xie Xuan's expression drastically altered.

"Ah!"

An unwilling groan escaped, and under everyone’s astonished gazes, Xie Xuan charged forward. His speed, though significant, was no match as he was struck by Qin Feng’s fist, ultimately crashing onto the ground more than ten meters away and staggering back five or six steps before regaining his balance in an awkward pose.

Though he remained standing, it was evident to all that Xie Xuan’s hand was trembling uncontrollably. Clearly, he had suffered a substantial setback in this exchange.

"You little scoundrel, you’re putting on an act. Your physical strength has improved dramatically!"

Xie Xuan glared at Qin Feng, his eyes bloodshot, his hatred surging to an unbearable peak. He had believed that having reached the fourth level of True Essence, he could defeat Qin Feng and exact his revenge even with just one hand. To his utter shock, the opponent’s cultivation level was not only equal but superior to his own!

"Did I ever claim I couldn't defeat you?" A dismissive smirk played on Qin Feng’s lips as he turned to Lan Yueliang beside him. "Beautiful lady, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to hold out a little longer, right?"

"Ah?"

Without affording Lan Yueliang a chance to reply, Qin Feng suddenly embraced her.

Holding the beautiful woman tightly in his arms, Qin Feng charged directly at Xie Xuan, who was just recovering from his earlier stumble.

Although carrying someone significantly hampered his speed, Qin Feng’s body technique was exceptionally agile. Sensing Xie Xuan’s sudden surge in speed and ferocity of attack, Qin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. Even though he was merely beginning to grasp it, he couldn’t fully unleash the power of the Divine Skill. Nevertheless, it was a Divine Skill, and Qin Feng dared not hesitate for even a moment.

"You can take me on too!"

With the first gust of wind, Qin Feng’s every move anticipated Xie Xuan’s claw strikes. His timing was precise, striking exactly when the claw winds were weakest. This time, his strike landed precisely as the claw wind transitioned from weak to strong, a moment of maximum vulnerability!

In every clash, Xie Xuan’s expression grew progressively more serious. After ten rounds of intense combat, his face was now etched with complete solemnity.

Despite unleashing his most potent, Divine Level skills, they inflicted no damage whatsoever on Qin Feng. The latter’s composed demeanor caused Xie Xuan’s own face to fall completely.

"I refuse to believe that cultivating the Voodoo body still makes me no match for you!"

Amidst thunderous roars, Xie Xuan’s expression turned icy as he pivoted, lunging towards Lan Yueliang, who was held in Qin Feng’s arms.

He understood that while Qin Feng could easily fend off direct assaults, any attack targeting his companion would put Qin Feng in a predicament. Defending his charge while fighting would make them both far more vulnerable.

Xie Xuan’s strategy was clear. Lan Yueliang, cradled in Qin Feng’s embrace, trembled with indignation.

This was the man who claimed to be fond of her. Thankfully, she wasn't deceived and had never shown him any favor.

Despite her anger, a strange warmth bloomed in Lan Yueliang’s heart, her beautiful face involuntarily pressing against his sturdy chest. While Xie Xuan hadn’t hesitated to employ assassins for his own gain, this man, in a life-or-death struggle, willingly endured a massive drawback to his combat effectiveness, steadfastly guarding and protecting her.

There was simply no comparison between the two.

Qin Feng’s brows also furrowed at Xie Xuan’s petty maneuvering, forcing him to exert his full effort. His fists and claws interlocked in a deadly dance. Through his intricate footwork and calculated advances and retreats, he ensured Lan Yueliang remained completely unharmed, causing Xie Xuan’s complexion to grow increasingly ashen.
