140: Chapter 140 Ning Feichi, Slay him!

The number one Supreme of any country is essentially the top-tier Martial Artist of the current age.

Yet, according to Ning Feichi's words, he explicitly stated that he could single-handedly deal with the number one Supremes of two nations.

Such strength was enough to frighten Yan Louchuan and the others.

Most of Da Shun's Ninth-Grade Supremes were a notch below Amber Sovereign.

Facing an even more powerful Martial Artist, they had no possibility of putting up a fight.

As he spoke, Ning Feichi took another step forward.

"Li Yuan, in my view, you are more valuable than Amber Sovereign.

This value isn't about how many resources you can offer as tribute; people who can do that are as common as ox hair.

Your value lies in yourself."

Ning Feichi looked at Li Yuan as if he were looking at an object.

"So young, yet able to step into such a Realm.

To be honest, you almost compare to some of the geniuses of Tianqiong Continent.

I've already decided to take you back and let the Sect Elders study you thoroughly.

To see whether it's a special Physique or if you picked up some advantage in your cultivation."

As his voice fell, Ning Feichi turned his gaze toward Yan Louchuan nearby.

"Yan Louchuan, come here and kneel.

You shall hold the title of the Shun Kingdom's number one Supreme for now."

In just a few words, Ning Feichi seemed ready to replace the Shun Kingdom's number one Supreme.

He even intended to take Li Yuan back to that Tianqiong Continent of theirs.

This so-called 'study' would likely cause immense damage to Li Yuan.

Even if there were no damage, why should he let others study him?

Should he let the people of that Tianqiong Continent inspect and observe his entire set of skills at will?

"Before speaking such big words, it's best to first demonstrate your top-tier strength.

Otherwise, listening to you only makes us want to laugh."

Li Yuan spoke up to remind him, and upon hearing this, Ning Feichi nodded calmly.

"You're right, I indeed should first take action to subdue you.

Lest I say so much and you still think I'm just fooling around or speaking nonsense to deceive you."

Ning Feichi possessed absolute confidence; he accepted Li Yuan's reminder with composure.

As his voice fell, a folding fan appeared in Ning Feichi's hand.

By the looks of it, this folding fan was his weapon.

"Today, I will first teach you some rules: when you see someone from Tianqiong Continent, you must kneel.

Getting used to this rule early will be good for you.

Lest you encounter other Sovereigns from Tianqiong Continent in the future and offend them, then you'll blame me for not teaching you well."

As his voice fell, Ning Feichi moved.

His folding fan seemed to be coated with a layer of drifting blade edges.

This method of shaping Qi into forms was not something Li Yuan was seeing for the first time.

However, Ning Feichi was indeed very proficient in using this technique.

Li Yuan could feel that Ning Feichi was drawing upon Internal Energy to execute these Moves.

His martial Internal Energy was clearly different from that of Yan Louchuan and Amber Sovereign.

It was more refined and more mellow.

But what Ning Feichi didn't know was that Li Yuan cultivated the Tai Xuan Divine Art.

Compared to his martial Internal Energy, the martial Internal Energy stored in Li Yuan's body was several times more powerful.

The Tianqiong Continent where Ning Feichi came from perhaps had a deeper martial foundation.

This was why his martial Internal Energy was so distinctly different from those in this region.

But unfortunately, the advantage Ning Feichi took pride in still had a gap compared to Li Yuan.

Yan Louchuan and the others felt their bodies go weak and a chill run through them as they watched this scene.

They truly felt Ning Feichi's terror.

This casual Move required them to use their full strength just to resist.

All signs indicated that Ning Feichi wasn't lying or using empty threats.

He was indeed extraordinary, not a mere fish swimming in the pond of the Shun Kingdom...

Following Yan Louchuan and the others' shock, the sword in Li Yuan's hand rose to meet the attack.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan did not fall into a disadvantage.

Li Yuan's cultivation was more stable and profound than Ning Feichi's.

That bit of martial Internal Energy provided no suppression at all.

Instead, in that instant, Li Yuan's sword edge flashed with a sharp silver light, suppressing his opponent's Qi.

As their Moves collided, Ning Feichi also sensed something was wrong.

He had fought with the number one Supremes of many countries and had never seen such a situation.

Even if those number one Supremes had some clever tricks, when had he not suppressed them?

But today, Ning Feichi himself was being suppressed.

The Qi he utilized was like a tiger or leopard that had lost its teeth and claws before Li Yuan.

It still looked somewhat imposing, but it posed no threat.

These two Moves were very casual, yet Ning Feichi already knew that the Li Yuan before him was not someone to be trifled with.

The thought of retreating had already sprouted in his mind.

Li Yuan, this number one Supreme, was on a completely different level from Amber Sovereign!

Ning Feichi wanted to retreat and save face.

But Li Yuan did not give him that chance.

His sword edge flicked out; its form and technique were not something Ning Feichi could handle.

The sword edge carved across his knee, and sharp pain instantly spread through his entire body.

Simultaneous with the pain was a loss of strength in his feet; he could no longer stand steady.

In the next moment, this Ning Feichi, who had boasted so incredibly of himself, knelt down.

Li Yuan frowned slightly as he stood before him.

"You've disappointed me too much, especially since you were so confident..."

He had constantly demanded that Li Yuan and Yan Louchuan kneel, yet he only had this much strength.

Ning Feichi's face was filled with terror; he had made a massive miscalculation regarding Li Yuan's strength.

To some extent, it wasn't entirely Ning Feichi's fault.

In the recent period, Li Yuan had made another massive leap in progress.

He was now a genuine Ninth Grade Great Perfection, a Ninth Grade Great Perfection who cultivated the Tai Xuan Divine Art.

Compared to when he fought Amber Sovereign, he had improved by another large margin.

Previously, Ning Feichi's face always bore a high-and-mighty expression.

Now that he was kneeling on the ground, that expression was finally corrected.

He could see that if he kept that face, Li Yuan would truly strike him heavily and take his life.

"I... I am the Jiedushi stationed here by the Lanyuan Sect of Tianqiong Continent, you cannot kill me..."

"When we ask, then you answer.

For now, just shut up and kneel honestly." Li Yuan shot him a glance, then signaled Yan Louchuan to begin the questioning.

Hatred welled up on Ning Feichi's face; such a situation should have bred resentment in him.

In all his time in the Shun Kingdom, when had he ever been treated like this?

But after only a moment, that hatred vanished.

Because Li Yuan gave him a slap—a very calm slap.

Yan Louchuan looked at Li Yuan with even more respect in his eyes.

He had already thought very highly of Li Yuan, but he hadn't expected Li Yuan's true strength to be even higher than his high estimation.

What they needed to know now was exactly what kind of place this Tianqiong Continent was.

Most Ninth-Grade Supremes had traveled to various parts of the world.

Their knowledge and experiences should be among the most elite of the current age.

Yet, among all the Ninth-Grade Supremes, none had heard of it.

Li Yuan had obtained the martial experiences of so many experts, yet he couldn't find any information related to this Tianqiong Continent among them either.

As for Ning Feichi's Sect, the Lanyuan Sect, they had heard of it even less.
