Extraordinary Soldier King in the City-Chapter 602: The Old Taoist Shows His Power

"An Earth Rank Early Stage daring to call itself ’honorable one’, truly shameless indeed!"

This voice sounded somewhat aged, yet was filled with confidence, expressing extreme contempt for Negan, a warrior at Earth Rank.

At these words, not only was Negan himself stunned, Chen Feng and Little Pillow were also taken aback.

For them, this voice was particularly familiar.

It was none other than the mysterious old Taoist!

Since the last time he helped cure Mu Dongcheng’s wife’s illness, the old Taoist had not appeared or spoken again.

He had been staying inside the Tianqi Holy Pearl all day, cultivating with Little Pillow!

Now, as Chen Feng faced a deadly crisis, he naturally had to show himself!

"Who exactly are you? To dare look down on me, show yourself!"

Negan glared fiercely at the Tianqi Holy Pearl as he shouted angrily.

As an Earth Rank warrior and the leader of the Night Shura Assassin Group,

wherever he went, he was a respected guest, revered by all, and no one dared to disrespect him like this!

Yet now, this voice showed such disregard for him, and it angered him greatly!

"Ha ha, it’s not that I look down on you, you’ve just never caught my eye!"

The aged voice once again emanated from the Tianqi Holy Pearl.

Following that, a flash of white light appeared, and a slightly ethereal white figure materialized before everyone.

It was the old Taoist in a white robe!

Compared to when they first met, the Taoist’s form had become more solid, clearly having rested well inside the Tianqi Holy Pearl.

Initially, when they had first met, the Taoist was almost ethereal, as if a gust of wind could scatter him away.

But now, he was much closer to being real!

After appearing, the old Taoist floated over to Chen Feng and Little Pillow’s side, stopped, and lovingly rubbed Little Pillow’s head, saying, "Didn’t I tell you to obediently cultivate inside? Why did you run out again?"

Little Pillow stuck out her tongue apologetically and said, "Big brother Chen Feng was in danger, so I had to come out!"

"You, always so impatient. You were on the verge of a breakthrough; you could have achieved it today, but because of your interruption in cultivation, it will now take another week to recover,"

the old Taoist admonished Little Pillow.

"Hee hee, the breakthrough isn’t important; big brother Chen Feng is most important!"

Little Pillow giggled.

"There’s just no helping you!"

The old Taoist shook his head, helpless yet smiling, then turned to look at Chen Feng.

Seeing this, Chen Feng hurriedly greeted, "I pay my respects to the senior!"

"Mm!"

The old Taoist nodded, then looking at Chen Feng, asked with a mischievous smile, "Chen Feng, my boy, how did you get so weak? Looks like you’ve been beaten up again!"

"Cough cough, I just fought to a draw with a Xuan Rank Middle Stage!"

Chen Feng coughed twice and pointed to the equally weak Elder Ghost Fire on the ground, speaking somewhat awkwardly.

This old Taoist, does he really have to speak so bluntly?

"Fighting to a draw with a Xuan Rank Middle Stage? Do you think that’s something to be proud of? Fighting to mutual destruction with a middle stage while only at Xuan Rank Early Stage, these achievements can’t compare at all with the geniuses I’ve seen; it’s rather ordinary!"

The old Taoist stroked his white beard and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was momentarily at a loss for words, thinking to himself:

Is this only considered quite average? Could it be that those geniuses you’ve seen are able to contend with Earth Rank at the Xuan Rank Early Stage?

However, as if the old Taoist had seen through Chen Feng’s thoughts, he grinned and said:

"So, you seem quite unconvinced? Let me tell you the truth. In the Ancient Era, the talents cultivated by various sects all possessed the ability to fight across levels, some could even kill enemies across a major realm. Now, you should be able to see the gap between you and them, right?"

"Oh my... crossing a major realm, wouldn’t that really mean contending with the Earth Rank using Xuan Rank power?"

Chen Feng exclaimed in surprise.

"What else did you think? With your current talent, you truly fall far behind them. So, don’t become complacent or arrogant just because you’ve achieved a little success!"

The old Taoist assumed the demeanour of a teacher and began instructing Chen Feng.

"Alright, I understand!"

Chen Feng shrugged his shoulders, speaking rather helplessly.

Seeing this, the old Taoist, fearing that Chen Feng would be disheartened, quickly spoke out to comfort him:

"However, you shouldn’t be discouraged. In the Ancient Era, the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was abundant, making cultivation a hundred times easier than it is now. That’s why those geniuses thrived like fish in water. If you had been in that era, I believe you wouldn’t be any worse!"

"I’m telling you all of this today because I hope you’ll seize the time to cultivate and enhance your strength, to truly be worthy of being the master of the Tianqi Holy Pearl. You should make others fear you, not have every Tom, Dick, and Harry dare to come and fight you for the Tianqi Holy Pearl!"

As he said this, the old Taoist glanced at Negan.

Clearly, he was referring to Negan as one of those proverbial ’Tom, Dick, and Harry’.

This made Chen Feng take a sharp breath.

Being able to call someone of Earth Rank such pet names probably meant that in the entire Mortal World, only the old Taoist could do so.

Even in the Ancient Martial World, teeming with experts, absolutely nobody would dare say that someone of Earth Rank was insignificant!

After all, an Earth Rank powerhouse was already considered to be at the pinnacle of the pyramid.

Yet the old Taoist completely disregarded him, which made one wonder how terrifying the old Taoist’s strength might have been in his prime, at the very least it had to be Heaven Rank!

Negan also caught the veiled implication in the old Taoist’s words and was immediately infuriated.

He glared fiercely at the old Taoist and shouted angrily, "Old fool, do you really think I do not exist? Regardless of whether you are human or ghost, today you will pay the price for your words!"

"Oh? Haha, it’s been many years since I’ve heard that phrase. An Earth Rank actually wants me to pay the price, how interesting!"

The old Taoist stroked his beard, glanced at Negan, and said with a smile.

And the look he gave Negan was filled with mockery.

"Interesting, right? Next, I’ll make it even more interesting for you!"

Negan gritted his teeth, then suddenly stomped his foot and swung a palm towards the old Taoist.

This palm strike was incredibly fierce, and its speed was at the ultimate limit.

If Chen Feng and his little friend were facing this palm strike, they would definitely not have been able to avoid it.

However, the old Taoist simply twisted his body slightly, calmly dodging the palm strike.

Then, before Negan could react, the old Taoist lightly flicked his sleeve.

A white glow shot out from the old Taoist’s sleeve like an arrow, hitting Negan directly in the abdomen.

"Ow!"

With a pained cry, Negan violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then flew back, slamming heavily against a pillar and finally falling to the ground.
