6: Chapter 6: Feud at the Starfall Pavilion

Three people passed through the dense forest; two men and one woman saw a youth in a green robe squatting not far away.

His hands kept turning the golden-brown roasted meat, and the aroma of the meat spread.

"Eh, Senior Sister, the Tianmu Mountain Range is swarming with magical beasts. How can a youth be here all alone?"

The Young man in white, with a faint trace of arrogance between his brows, spoke disdainfully.

"It's not normal. The youth should be from a major power, coming to the Tianmu Mountain Range to temper himself. I just don't know which faction he's a disciple of."

The Man surnamed Wu pondered, narrowing his eyes as his gaze fell upon Hun Tiandi.

"Humph, even if he's from a major power, how can he compare to the prestige of our Starfall Pavilion? Since the Pavilion Master passed the position to my mother, our power has expanded many times over."

"Senior Brother, let me test him."

The Young man in white grinned, grabbing a nearby branch and condensing Dou Qi onto it.

The Blue-robed Youth and the Pink-robed Girl glanced at each other and did not stop him. Clearly, they felt that with the Starfall Pavilion's strength in the Central Plains, they had no need to fear anyone, regardless of their identity.

Whiz!

He threw the branch abruptly; like an arrow leaving a bowstring, it shot straight toward Hun Tiandi, who had his back turned to them.

"Humph, Starfall Pavilion..." Hun Tiandi snorted coldly in his heart. What a vicious nature.

In fact, when the three emerged from the forest, Hun Tiandi's sharp soul perception had already sensed them. He quietly mobilized his Dou Zhi Qi to prevent any accidents.

Unfortunately, while a man roasts meat by the fire, disaster comes from behind.

At the critical moment, Hun Tiandi suddenly leaned to the side, dodging the sharp branch as it flew past.

Lightning-fast, he reached out his right hand to grab the branch, then stood up and turned around in one fluid motion.

Sou!

Bolstered by Hun Tiandi's Dou Zhi Qi, the branch shot back at three times its original speed.

"How is that possible?" The Young man in white was shocked that a youth in a dirt-stained green robe could be so alert.

Just as the branch was about to pierce the youth's forehead, the young man beside him made his move.

Hmph!

The Blue-robed Youth's expression turned cold. Reaching out his right hand, he gripped the long sword on his back. As Dou Qi poured out and blue light flowed, he swung the sword, severing the branch that flew like a spear.

Sheathing his sword, he stepped toward Hun Tiandi.

"Little brother, please don't take offense. My Junior Brother is mischievous; please don't take it to heart." The Blue-robed Youth cupped his fists slightly and smiled.

If one looked closely, a trace of solemnity was hidden within that smile.

Clearly, the lightning-fast exchange just now had made the young man cautious.

Hun Tiandi remained silent upon hearing this. Without even glancing at them, he sat by the fire and quietly ate his roasted meat.

"Little brother, you're quite remarkable; your skills are good."

"Haha, to be so powerful at such a young age, you will surely be a powerhouse in the future."

The Pink-robed Girl and the Blue-robed Youth complimented him, while only the Young man in white beside them looked indignant.

"I am from the Starfall Pavilion. May I ask where you are from, little brother?" the Blue-robed Youth probed.

"Just a rustic from the mountains," Hun Tiandi replied, shutting down the conversation.

"Humph, don't be ungrateful. We are from the Starfall Pavilion. Hurry up and serve your roasted meat. This young master will give you a chance; if I'm in a good mood, I might even recommend you to join the Starfall Pavilion."

Seeing Hun Tiandi's blunt tone, the Young man in white flew into a rage. As the Young Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion, who would dare to be disrespectful to him wherever he went?

Today, in this deep mountain forest, he had actually encountered such an unreasonable scoundrel.

His mother was named Pavilion Master You Quan, the new generation's Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion. Thus, holding high status and power, he had developed an arrogant and domineering personality.

Having finished his meat, Hun Tiandi stood up and walked toward the depths of the forest.

"Senior Sister, he doesn't respect me..." the Young man in white said indignantly, looking at the Pink-robed Girl.

"Little brother, your roasted meat?" the Blue-robed Youth asked.

"It's yours!" After Hun Tiandi's figure disappeared, a calm voice drifted back.

"Humph, how nonsensical," the Young man in white snorted.

"Junior Brother, that youth's strength is not inferior to yours. If you underestimate him, you will pay a price. I even sensed a trace of danger from him," the Blue-robed Youth said solemnly.

"Senior Brother..." The Pink-robed Girl's beautiful eyes flickered, her fair face filled with shock.

"Mhm. Once we get the huitian spirit fruit, we must leave the Tianmu Mountain Range quickly. Fortunately, we meant no harm. There must be a Dao Protector behind that youth. If we were to anger them..."

The Blue-robed Youth decided not to voice the rest, but the Pink-robed Girl understood.

The three of them shared the roasted meat.

Having left, Hun Tiandi decided to stay away from them. Unless necessary, he would not provoke the Starfall Pavilion for now.

The most important thing was tempering himself, clearing his mind to build up his great undertaking of slaughter.

Unfortunately, up until now, he had yet to encounter a Second-rank magical beast.

After walking for a kilometer, Hun Tiandi encountered three waves of magical beast attacks.

Even small mosquitoes are meat; all were killed by his Half-Step Crushing Fist.

On the way, he encountered some medicinal herbs and collected them into his storage ring, such as Lily Fruit and Star Grass...

While Hun Tiandi was immersed in the slaughter, two people were watching from a high mountain nearby.

"Eh, is that kid the person the Young Mercenary Leader is looking for? Green robe, youth?"

The two mercenaries were surprised and took out a portrait to compare carefully.

"That's right, it's this kid. He actually came to the Tianmu Mountain Range. If we capture him, the Young Mercenary Leader's reward will be substantial."

A burly man said in a booming voice.

"Big guy, don't do anything reckless. You follow him, and I'll go report to the Young Mercenary Leader."

"Don't mess up; if you ruin the Young Mercenary Leader's plans, you know the consequences..." the thin man beside him warned.

"Alright!" Hearing this, a trace of fear flashed in the burly man's eyes as he spoke.

The thin man nodded in satisfaction and left toward the edge of the mountain range.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, you two go look for the huitian spirit fruit. I'm weak and won't be of any help, so I won't follow you!"

Having finished the roasted meat, the Young man in white suddenly spoke up.

"That's fine. Junior Brother, wait for us obediently." The Pink-robed Girl nodded. Obtaining the spirit fruit would surely involve a fight, and she would have to be distracted to look after him then.

"Senior Brother..." The Pink-robed Girl looked at the Blue-robed Youth.

"Let's go!" the Blue-robed Youth said, turning to leave, with the Pink-robed Girl following closely behind.

"Hehe!" The Young man in white grinned and chased after the direction Hun Tiandi had gone.

An hour later, the Young man in white finally caught up to Hun Tiandi.

"Kid, let's see where you can run now!" The Young man in white smiled wickedly and attacked fiercely.

Hun Tiandi shook his head slightly, looking at the youth swinging a fist at him. The crimson Dou Qi was scorching hot, intending to injure him.

He raised his hand and punched. As the fists collided, surging energy spread out, blowing away the fallen leaves on the ground.

Thud... thud...

The Young man in white's fair face changed. A massive force struck him, causing his figure to retreat. His footprints left marks on the ground as he stepped back five times.

"How is this possible?" After failing to achieve anything with one move, the Young man in white's eyes widened, and he was greatly shocked.

Earlier, Senior Brother Wu had said that this youth's strength gave him a slight feeling of danger.

He hadn't believed it because Hun Tiandi looked a few years younger than him.

At fifteen or sixteen years old and at the Ninth stage of Dou Zhi Qi, he was known as a genius in the Starfall Pavilion.

There were even rumors that he held the title of Young Pavilion Master.

Again!

The Young man in white refused to accept it, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Hun Tiandi narrowed his eyes, his dark gaze containing a cold killing intent.

Bang!

In the lush green forest, two figures crisscrossed, colliding and leaping like apes.

The violent energy was like ten thousand arrows firing at once. Nearby leaves were shaken loose, and tree trunks as thick as arms were forcefully shattered.

Finally, they were snapped in half.
