Chapter 52 Grandmaster
"call....."
Jiang Feng let out a long breath and slowly withdrew his fist. At the same time, new words appeared on the panel inside his body.

----
Jiang Feng quickly looked away from the panel, a smile playing on his lips.
He wasn't surprised that he could obtain 10 levels of Transcendent Evil after killing a Qi and Blood Realm martial artist across borders.
But the biggest gain this time was that the Flame Collapse Fist was finally cultivated and perfected in his hands!
"Although there is only a fine line between the Great Accomplishment and Perfection, the gap between them is as vast as an insurmountable chasm."
Jiang Feng extended a finger, and the next moment, a tiny flame shot out from his fingertip with a "whoosh".
From beginner to expert, the only feeling he experienced was that his proficiency gradually increased, his energy consumption gradually decreased, and his moves became more powerful.
But it wasn't until the moment he reached perfection that he truly felt a connection between himself and this martial art, as if they were inseparable.
"It's only because of the blessing of the Purgatory Dragon Soul and the Divine Dragon Flame that I was able to comprehend this so quickly."
Jiang Feng chuckled to himself, then turned his gaze to Yuan Guannan beside him.
The opponent also made a breakthrough during this trip to Suzhou, and is now at the fifth level of Body Tempering. However, even though he has Xuan Bone, the gap in their cultivation levels is still significant, and the battle with the deputy leader is gradually becoming increasingly dangerous.
At this moment, the two combatants also noticed the commotion on Jiang Feng's side.
When they looked at Lu Ren lying motionless on the ground, the expressions on both of their faces instantly became quite interesting.
"That deputy gang leader... is dead?" Yuan Guannan was shocked.
"His cultivation level is clearly not much different from mine; he only recently advanced to the Spirit Bone realm. Not only was I not suppressed by him, but I also ended the battle so quickly!"
At this moment, Yuan Guannan's resentment and sorrow dissipated considerably, replaced by an intense and profound shock!
The remaining deputy leader was also struck dumb.
"Fifth level of Body Tempering... killed Brother Lu?!"
"How the hell is this possible?!"
"Is this kid even human?!"
Unable to contain his confusion and rage, he roared and circulated his qi and blood, abandoning his playful thoughts with Yuan Guannan, and headed straight for Jiang Feng!
He wants to avenge Brother Lu!
It must have been Brother Lu who underestimated him, which gave this kid an opening. I... I must...
However, this person's combat strength was even inferior to Lu Ren's, and he died completely under Jiang Feng's fist in less than 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, not far from the four people.
Xue Ya coughed up a mouthful of blood, his head drooped, and he was barely clinging to life.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say about this token?" Sun Hao asked, looking at him.
He had been somewhat irrational due to Fang Xiao's death, but upon closer reflection, there were many strange things about Xue Ya's side.
For example, Xue Ya had just almost explained the matter clearly and even presented evidence to prove that it was not the Viper Gang who did it, so why did he suddenly change his story at the last moment and forcibly take the blame for the murder on himself?
"Heh..." Xue Ya gave a bitter laugh and muttered, "I didn't expect you to have cultivated the power of the mind... My defeat... is not unjust."
"Even without using my mental powers, you are no match for me." Sun Hao said, slowly raising his right hand, his eyes revealing a murderous intent.
"Tell me everything you know about Fang Xiao."
"Tell you? Hahahaha... What good would it do to tell you?!"
Xue Ya felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. Mustering the last of his strength, he raised his head, looked up at the person before him, and mocked,
"That person is already at the Grandmaster level. Not to mention you, even if your Lan City Lord came, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to avenge your good student. Hahahahahahaha."
Xue Ya laughed wildly, his shrill voice echoing throughout the Viper Gang. He knew he had no way to survive today, so he no longer cared.
After saying this, he saw the expression on Sun Hao's face gradually change from indifference to shock, and then, satisfied, he reversed his own blood and qi, causing his heart meridian to rupture instantly, and he died on the spot.
"Grandmaster..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Hao was startled and instinctively staggered back several steps until Yuan Guannan, who had rushed over, caught him and helped him regain his balance.
"Grandmaster?"
Jiang Feng's eyelids twitched, and his expression turned serious.
Fang Xiao... was actually killed by a Grandmaster?
Grandmaster realm, that is a martial artist who surpasses the Meridian Opening realm. They are truly terrifying beings who can sit in charge of a region and destroy half a city with a wave of their hand!
Throughout the entire Donglin Star, there are only three city lords who are officially recognized as Grandmasters.
Fang Xiao is just a high school student, how did he get involved with such a powerful figure?!
A huge cloud of doubt hung over everyone's minds.
Just as everyone fell silent and pondered, a piercing siren sounded, and the Suzhou law enforcement team finally arrived, albeit belatedly.
..........
..........
One day later.
Suzhou Railway Station, waiting platform.
The massive hemispherical energy dome kept out the raging storms and the chill of the early morning. The rising sun shone on the silvery-white train tracks, giving them a cool, metallic sheen.
The students from Donglin No. 13 Middle School remained silent in their seats, the atmosphere extremely oppressive.
Ye Weiwei was sitting next to Jiang Feng.
"Be careful when you get back," she said in a voice only the two of them could hear. "It would be best if you didn't participate in the King Wu's Ruins this time. I'll come back to find you after I finish my research."
Jiang Feng nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, Sister Ye Wei."
Fang Xiao's death didn't bother him too much, since the two of them didn't have much direct interaction. However, since Sun Hao and Yuan Guannan were in a bad mood, he naturally couldn't appear too relaxed.
Moreover, this matter even involves a grandmaster...
The thought sent chills down Jiang Feng's spine, and a strange, unsettling coldness crept into his heart, as if a venomous snake were coiling around it.
"Don't think about it too much." Ye Weiwei seemed to have read his mind and gently stroked his head.
"Didn't we tell the law enforcement team all the details of this matter yesterday? I think we'll be able to get to the bottom of this."
What Ye Weiwei said was actually incorrect, because Sun Hao chose to keep the matter of the Grandmaster a secret from them.
As for the reason... Jiang Feng knew it too.
In this world where the strong are respected, if a so-called grandmaster really did kill Fang Xiao on a whim, even if he was a high school student protected by the laws of the Southern Star Region, absolutely no one would dare to utter a single word of criticism against that grandmaster in this matter.
This world is indeed cruel.
Those in high positions regard those in low positions as ants.
"Tap..."
Above the sky, a massive express-flying maglev train pierced through the clouds and slowly came to a stop above everyone's heads.
"Sister Ye Wei, I should go now." Jiang Feng stood up, a little reluctant.
"Hmm." Ye Weiwei's voice also lowered considerably.
"Goodbye," she said softly.
"goodbye."
After saying this, Jiang Feng and the others boarded the train for their return journey, leaving Ye Weiwei alone, lost in thought.
