Chapter 6021: The Importance of Tenacity

Lightning crackled around Chu Feng.

He had unleashed the Lightning Mark, Lightning Armor, and Lightning Wings to raise his cultivation by three ranks, which should have put his fighting prowess at the same level as the short red-cloaked man.

Yet, the fact that the short red-cloaked man was now beneath Chu Feng’s foot showed that there was a huge disparity in their strength. On top of that, Chu Feng had kicked off the short red-cloaked man’s veil, revealing his true face.

The latter was ugly, with small eyes and a face filled with pits and holes. Those who didn’t know better would have thought that he was an old man instead of a junior.

The short red-cloaked man trembled with anger, as murderous intent flared from him.

“Bastard! How dare you humiliate me? I’ll shred you into pieces!”

He tried to push himself off the ground, but Chu Feng merely had to exert a little more force to push his head deeper into the ground. The strength disparity between them was too huge.

If not for the short red-cloaked man’s higher cultivation level, even Qin Xuan could have subdued him with ease.

The short red-cloaked man refused to admit defeat. He reached into his Cosmos Sack and grabbed a God Armament ax.

It was then that Chu Feng said, “Try struggling again, and I’ll smash your head.”

“You dare!!!” the short red-cloaked man roared. He appeared to be confident in his background, thinking that Chu Feng wouldn’t dare to kill him.

“Give it a try,” Chu Feng coolly replied as a tinge of killing intent flowed out.

It was such a cold killing intent that none doubted his conviction to kill. All the Ancient Era’s juniors fell completely still with eyes widened in horror, including the other two red-cloaked men.

The short red-cloaked man, whose head was beneath Chu Feng’s foot, shut his mouth and fell completely still, though he slowly stuffed the God Armament ax back into his Cosmos Sack. He had finally admitted defeat.

Chu Feng thought that it was a wise decision, as he planned to kill the short red-cloaked man if he tried to fight back.

He had no qualms doing so since the short red-cloaked man attacked the present-era cultivators first. Besides, the short red-cloaked man would have likely still provoked him even if not for him standing up for the present-era cultivators. He had met too many of such people.

But Chu Feng was never one to shy away from a fight. He would have never come this far if he simply lowered his head to others.

He turned to the other Ancient Era’s juniors and said, “You were the ones who came after us first. Still, we’re not unreasonable people. We’ll return the favor to you twice, so just bear with it, all right?”

He smiled as if he was cracking a joke, but with a wave of his sleeves, he conjured over a hundred portraits with his spirit power. These were the Ancient Era’s juniors identified by the present-era cultivators to have oppressed them earlier.

Chu Feng turned to the present-era cultivators and said, “Take a good look. Vengeance is important, but it should be directed at the right person. Go and return the favor to whoever beat you up earlier.”

Without any hesitation, Qin Xuan and the other cultivators charged ahead.

Those who were cowardly had already kneeled to beg for mercy and left via the ‘Depart’ spirit formation gate. Only those with spunk had stayed behind.

These people didn’t fear the retaliation of the Ancient Era’s powers, though they still obeyed Chu Feng’s instructions and didn’t implicate the innocent. They only dealt with those who had oppressed them, and they only used their bare hands and legs instead of weapons.

It would be a lie to say that they weren’t worried about the consequences, but the exhilaration and release they felt from getting back at those Ancient Era’s juniors made them feel that it was all worth it, even if the Ancient Era’s juniors exacted vengeance on them in the future.

The only way to turn the tables on one’s oppressors was to fight back. If everyone chose to submit out of cowardice, the oppressors would only become even more arrogant.

They had no way of knowing whether the Ancient Era’s powers would go after them in the future, but at least they were coiled up on the ground, wailing and begging for mercy right now. The smugness they had displayed earlier was nowhere to be seen.

These people were mortals too. They were scared of pain and death.

The Ancient Era’s juniors, who weren’t targets of vengeance, retreated from the field. The more cowardly ones dared not to even look, fearing that they would be implicated.

Even so, they felt conflicted.

On the one hand, they were relieved that they didn’t oppress the present-era cultivators earlier. On the other hand, they realized that the present-era cultivators were not pushovers; they had a violent side to them too, and they would fight back if pushed too far.

Meanwhile, Chu Feng hadn’t been slacking around.

He constructed a deciphering formation he had grasped from the starry night sky phenomenon and enveloped the field with it. All of the stone pillars’ barriers simultaneously unraveled.

All eighteen empty tokens fell into Chu Feng’s grasp.

Similarly, the closed spirit formation gate whirred into activation as well.

This drove the Ancient Era’s juniors further into despair. Even their wails of agony had gotten much quieter. It was not that they didn’t have the strength to cry but they didn’t dare to!

Chu Feng had unraveled the barriers that had stumped all of them with such ease that it drove in the huge gap between their capabilities. It shocked them even more than him defeating the red-cloaked man.

His incredible feat made him an unfathomable figure to them. It was one thing to face a strong opponent, but it was another thing to face an opponent whose means you couldn’t grasp, and Chu Feng fell into both categories.

Some of them were previously still dissatisfied that they were being beaten up by the present-era cultivators, but now, they were glad that this was all there was to their vengeance.

Seeing the ‘Advance’ spirit formation gate’s opening, the present-era cultivators stopped their pummeling.

“That was so exhilarating.”

“Thanks, young hero Chu Feng.”

Those words were relayed to Chu Feng via voice transmission. They knew that they would have never been able to get back at the Ancient Era’s juniors if not for Chu Feng.

Chu Feng responded with a smile.

He had helped them because Qin Xuan was beaten up too; the rest were additions. He did wonder if they wouldn’t dare to attack the Ancient Era’s juniors out of fear of retaliation. It would be meaningless if that was the case.

That was why he had only suppressed the rank nine Half-God level Ancient Era’s junior instead of teaching all of them a lesson. He wanted these people to make a move by themselves. They would have to muster the courage to avenge themselves, or else no one would stand up for them.

He was certain that some would have backed out at the last moment, but to his surprise and delight, not a single person did that. All of them rushed at the Ancient Era’s juniors to return the favor.

If a war between the Ancient Era and the present era was inevitable, the present era would benefit from having more of such tenacious cultivators.
