C16 I will Protect the Northern Mountain Village
Chen Feng had initially intended to impress Wu Mei and win her affection, but Chai Le's comment had infuriated him.
"Father? Who exactly are you claiming to be the father of?"
Having arrived in this world, Chen Feng was uncertain about the well-being of his parents in another realm. The term 'parents' held immense significance for him, yet Chai Le had the audacity to claim he was Chen Feng's father. How could Chen Feng not be enraged?
Chai Le and his companions were so intimidated by the sudden surge of Chen Feng's aura that their knees buckled. Chen Feng's skill, Intimidation, had been maxed out to level ten, a force so powerful that even an Expert at the Martial Master Stage could be knocked unconscious. However, Chen Feng had purposefully held back the full impact of his Intimidation. Otherwise, a mere glance from him could have reduced Chai Le and his Junior Brothers and Sisters to imbeciles!
He had the nerve to call himself a father in Chen Feng's presence. Chen Feng was not about to let Chai Le off the hook easily.
"How can this kid possess such a formidable aura?!"
Chen Feng's display of power had taken Chai Le by surprise, reminiscent of the aura he had only felt emanating from an Elder within the Sect.
But then Chai Le reconsidered. The Cultivator before him was just a lowly First Layer of the Martial Artist Stage, a nobody. Why should he fear someone whose strength was four levels below his own?
So Chai Le steadied his nerves and returned to his initial sneer, looking at Chen Feng with utter contempt.
"You're nothing but trash. Even if I've called myself your father to your face, what can you possibly do to me?"
Chai Le reached out, aiming to slap Chen Feng across the face. The smile on Chen Feng's face slowly vanished, replaced by a glint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Chen Feng..."
Wu Mei, concerned, glanced at Chen Feng and called his name.
In an instant, Chen Feng turned around, his menacing look giving way to a radiant smile. "Don't worry, I've got Northern Mountain Village under my protection!"
Chen Feng's declaration left all the villagers rooted to the spot, their hearts swelling with gratitude and admiration.
Wu Mei felt the same way. In her heart, Chen Feng's stature seemed to grow immensely. Watching his retreating figure, she found him to be incredibly dependable!
"Hmph! You think you're the one to protect Northern Mountain Village? Who do you think you are?"
Chai Le's sneer shattered the mood, "You still dream of protecting Northern Mountain Village? Let me tell you, you won't get the chance! Today, I'll send you to guard the legendary hell!"
"Think you're up for it?" Chen Feng cast a dismissive glance at Chai Le, whose face turned frosty in an instant.
As a disciple of the Green Mountain Sect, Chai Le's cultivation had reached the impressive Fifth Layer of the Martial Artist Stage. Yet here was Chen Feng, merely at the First Layer, daring to scorn him—a sight unseen by Chai Le in the entire Sect!
To be at the First Layer within the Green Mountain Sect was to be at the very bottom, especially for a Martial Cultivator of Chai Le's age. Chen Feng was the lowest of the low, an absolute dunce in terms of cultivation talent.
Chai Le, having reached the Fifth Layer of the Martial Artist Stage by eighteen, was renowned as a prodigy within the Green Mountain Sect.
Despite this, Chai Le felt a blaze of anger in his chest, fury spewing from his eyes. To be underestimated by a fool his own age was intolerable!
With a chilling gaze, Chai Le addressed Chen Feng, "Hmph! You truly are oblivious to the peril you're in! You think that just because you managed to withstand my palm strike, you have the right to be insolent before me?"
