Upon hearing this, Ruo Xi panicked. Based on her understanding of Huo Feng, he was definitely serious about taking a gamble, and given the current situation, the only possibility was a wager involving martial strength. How could Ruo Xi not be worried? She was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears as she pleaded with Huo Feng, "Brother Feng, please don't! Let me handle this, okay?"
Huo Feng looked deeply at Ruo Xi. He knew that if he let Ruo Xi take care of it, she would inevitably choose to compromise. At that moment, he turned his gaze to Qianxin and noticed that Qianxin was about to make a move. Huo Feng didn't want to die yet, so he continued to provoke him, saying, "What’s wrong? Is someone from the Beast Cultivation Sect afraid to accept a bet from someone like me who is considered insignificant? If you want to kill me, that can be done in an instant."
Duan Huan did not expect Huo Feng to have such courage to challenge someone from the Three Ancient Sects. What shocked him even more was that Huo Feng had jumped from the Second Stage of Pulse Realm to the Seventh Level of Meridian Realm. The speed of such an improvement was terrifying. It should be noted that below the Vein Realm, people could directly enhance their abilities using pills. However, once one reached above the Vein Realm, relying solely on pills would lead to complete self-destruction; no matter how high one's talent was, they would still be unable to advance.
At this moment, Qianxin felt his face burning from Huo Feng's provocation, especially when he noticed Qing Xiu's expression nearby; he was furious. He simply looked down on playing games with Huo Feng, but this situation made this prideful young man coldly say, "So how do you want to bet?"
Seeing that Qianxin had finally taken the bait, Huo Feng felt relieved but maintained a serious demeanor as he said, "It's simple. You can use your earlier prepared Beast Fist attack against me. If you can't defeat me with one punch, then you won't trouble me anymore. If you do defeat me with one punch, then my life is yours; of course, this rule is too biased in my favor. Additionally, if I survive this encounter, I will seek you out in two years for a real battle. I wonder if you're willing to accept such a wager?"
"Hmph! This bet is meaningless; you're bound to die," Qianxin thought Huo Feng would propose something more interesting but found it utterly lacking.
Ruo Xi was also extremely worried. Hearing Huo Feng's words brought tears to her eyes as she said to him, "Brother Feng, please don't! That is our Beast Cultivation Sect's 'Lion-Tiger Blazing Fist.' Besides, the gap between you two is so vast; you won't be able to withstand it."
Huo Feng indeed transmitted a message to Ruo Xi: "Ruo Xi, trust me. I just saw you; I don’t want to die yet. I’m confident I can survive under such a punch; don’t worry."
Then Huo Feng disregarded Ruo Xi's concerns because in this situation he had no choice but to go all out. In truth, he wasn't entirely sure of his chances either. He continued looking at Qianxin and asked, "So will you accept or not? What’s wrong? Are you afraid? Are you worried about not being able to kill me with one punch and losing face or are you afraid of being defeated by me in two years?"
Upon hearing this, Qianxin completely exploded with anger and shouted, "Nonsense! Do you think I would worry about that? Since you're looking for death so eagerly, fine! I'll accept!"
"Good," Huo Feng glanced at the people around them and continued, "Since it's a bet, there are so many witnesses here; I hope you're a man of your word."
As he emphasized the term "man of his word," Huo Feng's tone grew heavier because he feared Qianxin might back out later. Speaking loudly also served to impose invisible pressure on him.
"Enough with the nonsense! As for the two years later part, we can skip that. Let's get started; I'm eager to see your expression right before you die. Don’t worry; I'll leave you with just enough breath so you can experience that feeling," Qianxin said with a sinister smile.
At this moment, Lu Hui from Underworld Palace sighed and said, "Alas! You Xiaoyao Fortress are out of luck! Such a talented young man dares to provoke the Beast Cultivation Sect and speaks so boldly—truly seeking death."
Duan Huan already felt quite frustrated and didn’t dare step forward; Lu Hui’s comment only darkened his expression further. Seeing Duan Huan like this made Lu Hui and Xiao Yuan from Treeheart City even more amused. Xiao Yuan couldn’t help but mockingly say, "Brother Duan! Aren't you going to do something? It's truly pathetic being a disciple of Xiaoyao Fortress. If he were our disciple in Treeheart City, I would risk everything to protect him! Hahaha..."
Duan Huan snorted angrily and abruptly shook off his sleeves as he stepped aside, unwilling to stand with them any longer. This only made Lu Hui and Xiao Yuan laugh even more.
At this moment, Qianxin and Huo Feng had both taken their positions. Huo Feng spoke up, "Come on, let me see how much power your fists really have."
Qianxin's expression was fierce as he replied, "It's a weight you cannot bear."
With that, two golden Lion-Hybrid Beasts formed above Qianxin's fists. He then pointed at Huo Feng, and the two Lion-Hybrid Beasts merged together, transforming into a two-headed Lion-Hybrid Beast. At the same time, Qianxin moved like lightning towards Huo Feng.
Huo Feng did not expect that his "Lion-Tiger Blazing Fist" could be used in such a way; its power must have increased significantly. However, since he had no choice but to act now, he steeled himself to take it on.
Suddenly, a flash of golden light enveloped Huo Feng, and an ancient wild aura spread outwards. Everyone was stunned as they witnessed Huo Feng transform into a Golden Wyvern over four meters tall, with golden transparent wings over two meters long flapping behind him. Most people recognized various dragon types, even if they had never seen one before; seeing it right in front of them left them in shock.
Lu Hui displayed a look of surprise and shock, followed by a frown as he thought, could this young man be the Huo Feng that Zhan Er mentioned? It must be him; such strength could not exist without being able to transform into a humanoid dragon. He began to worry for Huo Feng; if Huo Feng were to die, their plans would be ruined.
"Golden Wyvern? How is that possible?" Even Xiao Yuan was taken aback.
Huo Feng knew that relying solely on his dragon form for defense would not save him from danger. At that moment, silver-white Orchids rose before him. These Orchids appeared tiny like ants compared to Huo Feng's massive dragon form; without the light they emitted, others might not have noticed them at all.
Suddenly, the five Orchids dispersed around Huo Feng's dragon body and began to emit silver-white Origin Force light, forming a massive Silver Energy shield that completely enveloped Huo Feng.
This series of actions caused Qianxin to pause for a moment, especially when he saw Huo Feng transform into the Golden Wyvern. However, blinded by rage, he charged at Huo Feng regardless; otherwise, he would never have dared to attack a dragon.
But what Huo Feng did was not enough. His claws clenched tightly and crossed over his chest as misty Origin Force continuously surged outward from his claws and arms while simultaneously absorbing the natural Origin Force from the surroundings to strengthen the silver mist.
With a loud boom, Qianxin's two-headed "Lion-Tiger Blazing Fist" struck against Huo Feng's Orchid shield but only lingered for an instant before continuing to slam into Huo Feng. It was then blocked by Huo Feng's "Starry Barrier." At this point, the power of Qianxin's "Lion-Tiger Blazing Fist" had been reduced by more than half but still sent Huo Feng flying several dozen yards away with a thud as he landed on the ground.
Qianxin said, "Hmph! I held back so you could taste death; I didn't expect you to be so weak."
Ruo Xi rushed in front of Huo Feng but couldn't see his head. Huo Feng leaped onto his dragon chest and cried out, "Brother Feng! I told you not to do this; it's my fault for not stopping you! Wuwuwu..."
"Fool! Why are you crying? I'm not dead! You're so heavy; even in this state you're still on top of me!" At that moment, Huo Feng opened his dragon eyes with difficulty while coughing up blood.
Hearing that Huo Feng was okay made Ruo Xi instantly break into tears of joy. She jumped off Huo Feng's body just as he transformed back into human form, completely bare and leaving him with a bitter smile. However, he could no longer maintain his dragon form nor retrieve clothes from the Narcissistic Ring.
Caught off guard by this situation, Ruo Xi exclaimed in surprise and quickly turned around but then laughed again as she pulled out a floral cloak from her storage and draped it over Huo Feng.
At this moment, everyone was shocked to learn that Huo Feng was not dead, especially Qing Xiu and Li Zifeng. They knew that with their strength, even Duan Huan and the others could have perished under a single punch.
Huo Feng struggled to say, "You really are something. Can't you sense my aura? All you do is cry. Help me up."
Ruo Xi pouted and replied, "I forgot in my haste." She then helped Huo Feng to his feet.
Qianxin looked at Huo Feng with a mix of shock and indignation but remained silent. Huo Feng forced a smile, trying to reassure Qianxin. In anger, Qianxin turned away and flew off, saying, "Hmph! You can explain everything to the sect leader yourself." With that, she took off, followed by Qing Xiu and Li Zifeng.
At this time, Ruo Xi hesitantly said, "Brother Feng, I..."
Huo Feng looked at Ruo Xi and said, "I know I caused you trouble this time. I'm fine; you should go."
"But seeing you like this makes me uneasy. I think I should stay with you until you're fully healed," Ruo Xi said as she glanced at the distant group of people, feeling concerned and ultimately deciding to delay her departure.
Huo Feng didn't want Ruo Xi to worry too much, so he communicated through thought, "My Contract Beast is the Phantom Butterfly. It has undergone a tremendous transformation and has awakened. It will take me away."
"But..." Ruo Xi wanted to say more but eventually nodded. She warned, "If you encounter anyone from the Heart of the Abyss Palace, make sure not to engage with them."
