Chapter 91

"How... How could it have escalated to this extent..." Clan leader Shen Haoxuan, on the verge of tears, looked down at the smoke and dust below, muttering to himself.

The faces of the elders, including the Great Elder, were equally grim, their hearts filled with an indescribable complexity.

Incredible shock and a flood of regret gnawed at their hearts, causing them unbearable pain.

If the person who unleashed that ultimate attack was not Shen Lang but any other descendant of the Shen family, how elated everyone would be!

Or if Shen Lang did not harbor such deep animosity towards the Shen family, how uplifting it would be!

The Shen family could sweep through the entire Heavenly Phoenix City with such a genius!

But...

The noise gradually subsided, and the dust that had enveloped the area slowly settled, revealing the scene below to everyone.

A massive crater appeared in the center of the originally two-meter-high platform.

The crater was still filled with dense, lingering dust.

Shen Fengxiao and the other four gathered around the crater, panting heavily, and continuously scanning the area, seemingly searching for Shen Lang's figure.

At this moment, Shen Fengxiao and the other four were in a terrible state, their clothes tattered, their faces covered in dust, bruised and bloodstained.

Their unsteady figures and rapid breathing clearly indicated that they had suffered significant backlash from that attack.

They had lost their previous composure.

It was evident that under the explosion of powerful energy, Shen Fengxiao and the other four had been severely injured.

This showed just how formidable the impact of that massive energy had been!

Shen Fengxiao had already consumed a pill to rapidly enhance his cultivation, and he had exerted his full strength without reservation, even gathering the spiritual power of Shen Fengkuang and the other two...

Such a powerful attack, if Shen Lang could withstand it...

But even so, Shen Fengxiao and the others had no confidence at all.

They, who were closest to the scene, were the most aware of the power of Shen Lang's attack.

The overwhelming pressure, just the feeling of it, was enough to make the Thunder Dragon tremble in fear, far surpassing the Golden Essence Hammer!

"Where is that brat Shen Lang?" Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Shen Fengxiao, supported by the two beside him, lifted his head, his eyes scanning the surroundings, still panting heavily.

A sickly red flush appeared on his defeated face as he said hoarsely, "He was passively receiving that attack, and he might have been buried in the crater under the impact of the two energies."

"Challenging five of us, his arrogance has led to this! Hmph!" Shen Jian said coldly.

However, Shen Wubing and Shen Fengkuang clearly did not see it that way. They exchanged a glance, and Shen Fengkuang gritted his teeth and said, "From his previous sword strike, I could tell that even if we five joined forces, we would not be his match. This kid is not to be provoked!"

Shen Wubing, a bit frightened, added, "Fengkuang is right. We had already lost before. Our attacks did not cause him much harm. To put it bluntly, we couldn't even keep up with his speed on this platform! Our combined attack was no weaker than a full-strength attack from an Eighth Heaven Qi Martial Realm warrior, which is why we had a slight advantage."

Although Shen Wubing's cultivation was slightly weaker than the others, he appeared the most composed, or perhaps the most ruthless.

Even when overwhelmed by Shen Lang's power, he managed to secretly release a vine from behind, binding Shen Lang tightly.

If his cultivation had been a bit stronger, and if Shen Lang couldn't break free from the vine, he would have been doomed.

He slowly raised his head, his brows furrowed, his eyes scanning the deep crater, searching for Shen Lang's figure. The occasional cold and bloody glint in his eyes made even Shen Fengkuang feel a chill.

But now, those eyes, which had always been cold and ruthless, were filled with deep apprehension... and fear.

It was unclear whether he was afraid of Shen Lang's overwhelming power or feared retribution for his treachery.

"Hmph, you don't need to boost their morale and undermine your own. So what if he's powerful? Under that attack, even if he survives, he'll be missing limbs! We'll see how arrogant he can be then!" Shen Fengxiao frowned and said coldly, "No matter what, he brought this upon himself. We won this battle!"

The crowd immediately erupted in cheers, the sound shaking the heavens.

"At this point, are you not being a bit premature in declaring the winner?" A cold voice suddenly drifted out from the crater, ringing in everyone's ears.

The thunderous cheers abruptly stopped, cut off mid-sentence.

"Boom!"

Debris and dust flew everywhere as a figure burst out from the crater, flipped in the air, and landed steadily on a protruding rock opposite Shen Fengxiao and the other four.

It was the young man who had struck terror into the hearts of all the Shen family members, Shen Lang!

After the terrifying clash of energies, the entire platform had collapsed, with a deep crater in the center. But this young man, contrary to everyone's expectations, was not only unharmed but also exuded a formidable aura, his breathing steady.

More shockingly, his appearance was still neat, with no dust on his clothes!

He stood there, a stark contrast to the disheveled and battered Shen Fengxiao and the others.

Just by appearing, the outcome was clear!

"You... You're unharmed? This is impossible!" Staring at Shen Lang, Shen Fengxiao swallowed hard, unwilling to accept it.

His face twitched rapidly, turning from pale to ashen.

Not only he, but a deep sense of fear spread throughout the arena, gripping everyone's hearts.

To withstand such a powerful energy impact without any injury—was he even human?

There was no need to continue the fight; the Shen family had been utterly defeated!

"Are you done fighting? If so, it's my turn."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shen Lang slowly walked towards Shen Fengxiao and the others.

His expression remained indifferent, a slight smile on his lips as he casually glanced at the four in front of him. Suddenly, his dark eyes turned cold and fierce.

"Since you want me to be missing limbs, I'll make you missing limbs!"

His cold voice echoed in everyone's ears, and Shen Lang's figure moved, transforming into a black shadow, accompanied by a sharp wind and a powerful oppressive aura, appearing before Shen Fengxiao and the others.

"We surrender!" The four's eyes met Shen Lang's dark gaze, and they all felt a chill. Almost simultaneously, they turned to jump off the platform.

"Can you run?" A light shout rang out, and four water jets shot out like ribbons, wrapping around their waists and dragging them back.

Shen Fengxiao, reacting the fastest, turned and punched towards Shen Lang.

However, as he threw his punch, Shen Lang had already leaped into the air, striking first with a knee that collided with his chest with a powerful force.

The sound of ribs breaking echoed, and Shen Fengxiao screamed as he flew through the air.

"Shen Lang, stop!" From the high viewing stand, several elders could no longer hold back. Four figures leaped down from the stand, trying to stop Shen Lang.

A red figure flashed, and Xue Dangdang blocked their path.

"You old coots, you let those bastards beat Brother Lang, but you won't let him fight back? I've had enough of you!" Xue Dangdang shouted coldly, her arms crossed, a long sword still in its sheath but radiating a brilliant light.

"Step back, or I'll destroy you!"

As she spoke, three figures soared into the air, Yin Kuang and Zeng Zuimo joining her.

"Sit down obediently, or I'll tear down your Shen family! Don't think I won't hit you just because you're old!" Yin Kuang spoke just as bluntly.

Note: I was out for two days and just got home. I apologize for the delay in posting.
