Outside, there was a storm brewing, but Xia Feng was completely unaware of it.

At this moment, he had just awoken from a deep sleep.

After tens of thousands of years of cultivation and countless life-and-death battles in the Eastern Wilderness Forest, Xia Feng had finally broken through to the realm of an Earth Tier Sixth Layer Martial Saint!

Apart from the initial Thunder Element Rules, Xia Feng had comprehended twenty-three additional Great Dao rules!

He possessed the Purple Thunder Body, making it much easier to cultivate Thunder Element Rules. Besides the basic Thunder Element Rule, these remaining twenty-three were all part of the Purple Thunder Rules of the Great Dao of Thunder!

The understanding of twenty-four Great Dao Rules was a prerequisite for Xia Feng to become an Earth Tier Martial Saint.

Martial Saints cultivate the power of rules; mastering one rule's power makes one a Yellow Tier Martial Saint, mastering nine can elevate one to a Profound Tier Martial Saint.

Only by mastering nineteen rules can one break through to become an Earth Tier Martial Saint!

Xia Feng was currently five rules short of the requirement for the Celestial Tier Martial Saint at twenty-nine rules.

With the transformation of the Dream Realm Pearl, he was confident he could reach the pinnacle of the Celestial Tier Martial Saint within a month!

Yesterday, it rained in Xingyu City, and the air was filled with a pleasant dewy scent.

Standing on the city wall, Xia Feng took a deep breath, savoring this rare moment of tranquility.

Just as Xia Feng relaxed, his expression suddenly froze.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several terrifying wind blades immediately targeted his position. Xia Feng's body swayed slightly, leaving several afterimages as he dodged the oncoming attack.

With a cold demeanor, Xia Feng looked up at the empty sky and said icily.

"Two sneaky rats, come out."

"Hehe, it seems this boy really has broken through to the Martial Saint realm, able to evade my attack—not bad."

A mocking laugh echoed, and then the void in the sky shattered, revealing two figures.

Upon their appearance, Xia Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Two Yellow Tier Martial Saints? Looks like this is something from the Imperial Capital..." Xia Feng murmured thoughtfully, ignoring the two.

"A Martial Saint, must be someone from the Sacred Land? Is the nearest Sacred Land the Dragon Elephant Sacred Land?"

Seeing Xia Feng paying them no heed and thinking aloud, the two's faces turned slightly red, feeling somewhat humiliated.

"Bastard! You killed our Dragon Elephant Sacred Land's Outer Sect disciple, Cloud Elephant. We elders are here to bring you to justice today!"

"How dare a mere Yellow Tier Low Level Martial Saint ignore us? I think you have a death wish!"

The two immediately cursed at Xia Feng.

But even while cursing, they did not forget their purpose for being here.

The first sentence already shouted out the reason for their visit, ensuring that after killing Xia Feng, everyone would know it was a personal vendetta between Dragon Elephant Sacred Land and Xia Feng, without involving the Imperial Family.

"Cloud Elephant? Your Outer Sect disciple?" Xia Feng thought for a moment, then chuckled, "I wasn't aware of that, but for such a large Middle Grade Sacred Land to send two Martial Saints over a single Outer Sect disciple, one might think he was your Closed-door Disciple."

With Xia Feng's words, their expressions changed instantly.

This kid was smart, instantly pointing out the flaws in their actions, which were indeed unreasonable upon closer examination.

"I was going to let you live a bit longer, boy, but you brought this on yourself!" The Eighth Elder roared, no longer speaking, and his figure flashed directly!

Like lightning, he appeared behind Xia Feng, swinging his long halberd forward, seemingly about to sever Xia Feng's head!

The attack was immensely powerful; the City Lord's Mansion had been reinforced with Celestial Crystal Stones brought by the Three Great Dynasties, yet under the halberd's swing, it was still cracking incessantly, spider webs spreading all around!

Xia Feng, expressionless, pulled out the Qingxue Sword and coolly swung it back, using the sword's body to slap away the halberd!

Boom!

A loud explosion emanated from their weapons; as Xia Feng knocked the halberd away, an unparalleled force exploded, shattering the city wall where Xia Feng stood, sending bricks and soil flying everywhere. If not for his Spiritual Qi protection of the rest of the City Lord's Mansion, the entire thousand-meter city wall would have turned to ashes!

"This is impossible!"

The Eighth Elder's eyes showed instant fear. As a Yellow Tier Ninth Layer Elder, although he hadn't used full power in the previous strike, it shouldn't have been easily repelled by a mere novice Martial Saint!

"Ninth, help me! This boy might be at the Peak of Yellow Rank!"

He leaped back, catching the flying halberd in the air, and turned to shout at the white-haired old man behind him.

The Ninth Elder's expression turned cold, and without speaking, he immediately pulled out a long spear, charging swiftly at Xia Feng!

In the span of a second, the Ninth Elder's snow-white silver spear struck out at least thousands of times, each carrying terrifying killing intent, piercing the void, causing space to tremble!

Xia Naiwen and Huang Xiaoqian also stood above the City Lord's Mansion, their faces changing repeatedly.

They didn't know what realm Xia Feng had broken through to, but the overwhelming power of the opponents' attacks shocked them.

Their strength was terrifying; even though Xia Naiwen was already an Earth Tier Martial Emperor and Huang Xiaoqian a Profound-Tier Martial Emperor, they felt as small as ants in comparison.

They knew Xia Feng was quite strong, but could he withstand the combined assault of these two?

This was an unknown.

Two Ninth Layer Yellow Tier Martial Saints attacked Xia Feng fiercely from front and behind.

As for Xia Feng, with the Qingxue Sword in his right hand and a Purple Flame Demon Blade formed from Spiritual Power in his left, he continually counterattacked.

After several hundred exchanges, Xia Feng suddenly soared into the air, looking down at the two.

"Is this the full power of Ninth Layer Yellow Tier Martial Saints?"

He sighed somewhat regrettably, shaking his head. "Weak, too weak. I initially thought you might surprise me in my first battle against true Martial Saints, but you turned out to be even more pathetic than I imagined."

"Ninth, what is he saying?" The Eighth Elder squinted slightly, a sense of unease flickering through his heart.

"To stand against both of us without falling behind, do you think he could possibly be..." The Ninth Elder, a hint of dread crossing his eyes, swallowed and reluctantly spoke the truth, "Actually a Profound Tier?"

"Profound Tier?" Xia Feng laughed upon hearing their conversation.

"I'm afraid you've guessed wrong."

Upon hearing this, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the next moment, the aura from Xia Feng exploded, an overwhelming force surging towards the two elders.

An immensely powerful, raging aura engulfed the two, and upon sensing this destructive force, their faces turned to horror.

"This is... the aura of an Earth Tier Martial Saint!!!"
