Once Zheng-Fu made his decision, he did not intend to stay any longer. He rushed back to the city and told everyone to be ready. However, they didn't have to do anything because he would handle everything himself.

One incense stick passed…

Zing!!!

Booooooom!!!

Baang!!!

Suddenly, an explosion sounded at the entrance of the city gate. It was the sound of an energy wave attack from the tall, highly skilled martial master wearing a black robe, who had been in the forest earlier.

"You stupid human beings. Today will be your death day!" The tall martial master shouted so loudly that it could be heard throughout the city. He intended to use his voice to frighten everyone, including the Divine Emperor stage martial masters.

Quiet…

But the townspeople and all the great, skilled martial masters had no idea what was going on. They didn't even pay attention to the shouts of this tall, highly skilled martial master from another race. Everything was peaceful, without any turmoil, as if nothing had happened.

Huh!!?

"What happened here? Why do these termites look so peaceful? Or is this spell curtain blocking the outside world? So, they have no idea that I'm attacking their spell curtain? No! It shouldn't be like that. If so, how could the guards be staring at me?"

The tall martial master from another race was full of suspicions. He didn't understand the current situation. Why had it turned out like this, unlike what he had imagined? He had thought that once he started attacking, people would panic. He expected that once he began attacking, people would flee in chaos, stepping on each other, or shouting for help. However, everything had turned out differently from what he had imagined.

"Huh! Let's see if you guys can stay idle after this!"

Yaa!!! Yaa!!! Yaa!!!

Booooooom!!!

Baaaaang!!!

Booooooom!!!

Baaaaang!!!

He couldn't believe that the people in this city could remain idle any longer if he kept attacking until the spell curtain was broken. Therefore, he continued launching attacks with all his might, causing the ground outside the city to split into deep and long cracks under the force of the energy waves.

But the spell curtain defending the city remained unchanged. It was as if his attacks had no effect and couldn't even scratch the surface of the spell curtain.

"No! This can't be true! I'm a great Divine King stage martial artist. How can a lame spell curtain withstand my attacks? It's impossible! This can't be happening!" He immediately went mad when he saw that his attacks were ineffective.

But in fact, the spell curtain defending the city had been cracking since his third attack. It was only that Zheng-Fu helped fix the spell curtain to still be intact. If Zheng-Fu hadn't been taking care of it, the spell curtain would have been broken long ago.

"It can withstand three attacks from an initial Divine King stage cultivator. It only forms a crack and may be able to withstand two more before it breaks. That's five in total. Hmm! This spell curtain is pretty good. If I add more energy, demon's blood, and characters, a cultivator at the intermediate Divine King stage might not be able to easily destroy it!" Zheng-Fu said, stroking his chin in understanding. He already knew that the spell curtain he had created could withstand five attacks from an initial Divine King stage cultivator. There might be a chance it could withstand six attacks before breaking.

"Okay, now it's time to stop having fun. No matter who it is, anyone who dares hurt humans or my people will die!" Zheng-Fu slowly revealed himself to the tall martial master from another race while releasing all his energy waves.

Grooaaaan!!!

At the moment Zheng-Fu unleashed his energy wave, the surrounding air and sky suddenly trembled as if the world itself would collapse. The sky, which had been bright before, suddenly darkened and became terrifying. Everyone who saw it trembled, their limbs weakening.

Far away, in the dense forest, where nine other great, skilled martial masters from another race were lurking…

"That… that energy is?" The faces of the two fat, highly skilled martial masters abruptly turned pale, and they both exclaimed in shock at the same time.

"I thought something was wrong. Fortunately, we didn't invade earlier. We would have been dead if that idiot hadn't been so arrogant and stubbornly tested that spell curtain before us!" another martial master said. Then he suddenly turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.

"Hmm... I'd surely meet my ancestors if I stay here any longer!" The other martial master didn't hesitate and hurriedly ran away as well. He knew that if he stayed, the only thing awaiting him would be death.

Swish!!!

Swish!!!

The rest of the group also thought about leaving. No one stayed behind to witness the fate of the tall martial master because the pressure and energy waves they could feel were much more intense than those of the tall martial master. Even if five tall, highly skilled martial masters were here, they wouldn't be able to defeat Zheng-Fu.

Back at the front gate of In-See City…

"Damn! How can there be such a frightening martial artist in town?!" The tall, highly skilled martial master was trembling and helpless. He hadn't expected there to be a superior martial artist here, especially since he hadn't sensed any Divine King stage martial masters earlier.

"I can't stay. I must flee. I need to get out of here!"

The tall martial master from another race suddenly shouted angrily. He hurriedly turned around and prepared to escape as quickly as possible.

Huh!!!

"Did you think you'd easily escape after causing such trouble here? Keep dreaming!"

Suddenly, a gigantic hand flew past the spell curtain, tightly squeezing the tall martial master's body, like a large, strong steel tweezer. He could neither wriggle, move, nor accelerate his energy to resist the enormous hand.

"Looks like your allies have escaped!" Zheng-Fu said with a smile at the corner of his mouth. Zheng-Fu, who had been hidden behind the spell curtain, floated toward the martial master from another race, who was now being squeezed by Zheng-Fu's palm energy.

"Huh! Let go of me! If I manage to break free, I'll kill anyone who belongs to your family, but I'll slowly torment them before they die!" The tall, highly skilled martial master from another race struggled to free himself from the gigantic hand while cursing and threatening Zheng-Fu.

"Ha ha ha! What nonsense is this? Even if you somehow get out of here, you won't be able to do anything to me. There's no need to mention my family or loved ones because now you're going to meet your ancestors. You bastard from another damn race!" Zheng-Fu spoke dismissively, though, in truth, he didn't like it when others threatened to hurt his family. So, he took out all three of his Winter Flame Flying Daggers.

"Don't worry. I will slowly play with you, so you can experience the feeling of what you used to do to others—torturing them to death without them dying!!" Zheng-Fu felt deeply enraged as he imagined the horrors his opponent might have inflicted on other human beings. Even if it had happened or never actually happened, it would probably be easy to guess.

[Winter Flame Flying Dagger]

Zing!!! Zing!!! Zing!!!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Argh!!!

As soon as Zheng-Fu ordered his Winter Flame Flying Daggers to strike at the martial master's body at the various points he had aimed at, the daggers pierced through those spots. A painful cry immediately rang out, so loud it could be heard throughout the entire city. It was a horrific sight.

"Let me go, you bastard! Let go of me if you're good… Argh!!!"

The martial master from another race continued to shout, demanding Zheng-Fu release him for a one-on-one fight. But no matter what he said, Zheng-Fu didn't care. He remained focused, slowly using his flying daggers to meticulously pierce his opponent's body. He pierced and pierced until blood flooded out of him.

Zing!!! Zing!!! Zing!!!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Argh!!!

Drip!!! Drip!!! Drip!!!

A huge amount of blood poured from the martial master's body, dripping onto the ground and forming a small pool. This was exactly what Zheng-Fu had wanted, as he needed the blood to strengthen the spell defending In-See City. He didn't kill him immediately, as he had with the other races before. Instead, he chose to torture him ruthlessly.

At this moment, there was enough blood for the spell. So, Zheng-Fu stopped using his flying daggers to stab him further and released the massive hand that had been holding his body.

Thud!!!

Argh!!!

"Kill me! Please kill me!" This time, the proud and arrogant martial master from another race begged Zheng-Fu to end his suffering. It was a far cry from the first time when he had demanded Zheng-Fu release him so they could fight.

"Don't worry. I'll do as you request, but it won't be a simple death. Your body will become part of this city's defense spell!" Zheng-Fu's words made the martial master's already pale face turn even paler. The idea of being part of the spell was too terrifying for him to accept.

Of course, no one could accept this fate. Not only would he be tortured to death, but his body would also be incorporated into the city's spell, even though he wasn't dead yet. This was too cruel; no matter how strong a person's mind was, no one could endure it.

"No!!!!!!"

"Please! Please, let me die in peace! I was wrong, I was wrong, Great Master!!!" He immediately started saying anything that might save him. Even if it made him look ridiculous, he would still say it in a desperate attempt to beg Zheng-Fu to end his suffering.

"I can't do that. Because you'll become part of this spell curtain… while still alive!"

Woooooooooooosh!!!
