"You don’t even count as a man!"
Ling Feng suddenly coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, glaring angrily at Big Iron Hammer.
Indeed, bringing up another’s inner wounds to their face is not kind, but if he doesn’t confront the shadows within his heart, he will forever remain a turtle withdrawing into its shell.
"What did you say?"
The aura emanating from Big Iron Hammer grew even colder and more violent.
The fire of rage burned intensely in his eyes.
For over a hundred years, no one had mentioned that woman who betrayed him, but Ling Feng, someone who, in his eyes, was like an ant, dared to provoke him so!
"What, you’re not only a turtle but also deaf?"
Ling Feng wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, gritting his teeth as he pushed himself out from a crack in the wall, glaring at Big Iron Hammer, gritted his teeth, and said: "Do you think you look like anything right now? Is taking out your inner wrath on others your solution to problems? You, coward!"
The muscles on Big Iron Hammer’s face twisted, and a surge of killing intent burst forth from his entire body.
The word "coward" undoubtedly enraged him completely.
"Boy, do you really think I’m afraid to kill you!"
Big Iron Hammer’s aura had already climbed to its peak, his hand now gripping the handle of the giant hammer behind him.
If he were to strike, Ling Feng would undoubtedly die!
In the distance, on a hill.
"My god, that kid is courting death!"
Blood Demon Hand’s face showed a look of surprise.
He originally thought Ling Feng could at least grit his teeth and hold on for a few days, but unexpectedly, on the first day, he had a falling out with Big Iron Hammer.
If things continue like this, it might lead to a fatality!
Among the group of evil people, except for Ghost Doctor Chang Baicao who was doing alchemy, almost everyone had already gathered.
Muu God Monarch was also there.
"No, I have to go get that kid out of there!"
Blood Demon Hand leapt to go pull Ling Feng away but was pressed down by a large hand.
"Let’s wait and see."
The one who acted was none other than Muu God Monarch.
Muu God Monarch’s face was solemn, staring at the direction of the blacksmith’s shop and slowly said: "All along, no one has been willing to bring up the past of the eight, maybe this is his chance to face himself and confront his inner self."
"But..."
Blood Demon Hand wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Muu God Monarch.
"Let’s see first, that kid isn’t reckless, maybe he can resolve the current crisis."
Muu God Monarch spoke slowly.
"This... I don’t know!" Blood Demon Hand shook his head, "Boss Muu, you really aren’t afraid of this ending in death!"
Shura Chef Saint also nodded in agreement, "If the eight could understand, then he wouldn’t be the eight."
"No one has ever dared to kill under my watch."
Muu God Monarch stood with his hands behind his back, an invisible aura spreading out, "The eight will be no exception!"
Inside the blacksmith’s shop.
Big Iron Hammer’s fury had reached its peak.
Had it not been for a shred of rationality, his fear and respect for Muu God Monarch, he might have already attacked Ling Feng.
"If I were killed by a truly great man, I, Ling Feng, would have no regrets! But—"
Ling Feng stared at Big Iron Hammer, speaking each word clearly: "If killed by a coward, humph, I would never rest in peace even as a ghost!"
"Coward?"
Big Iron Hammer tightened his fists with all his might, "You say I’m a coward? I have killed countless foes, facing over a dozen Holy-grade powerhouses alone, you weren’t even born yet!"
"Being powerful doesn’t mean you’re not a coward!"
Ling Feng took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice: "You dare not face your own past? Aren’t you still a coward? You vent your suppressed anger on others, aren’t you still a coward?"
"Nonsense! You’re full of crap!"
Big Iron Hammer was trembling with anger, "Boy, I’ll first take off one of your arms, when you’re lying on the ground like a dead dog, then you’ll know who is the coward!"
"Hahaha!"
Ling Feng laughed up at the sky, "How come, hit a nerve and you can’t restrain your anger, wanting to strike me? Coward!"
"Bastard!"
Big Iron Hammer punched the wall with a boom, the entire blacksmith’s shop trembled and collapsed!
"If you don’t give me a damn reason today, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
Big Iron Hammer struggled to suppress the anger in his heart, the word coward almost choking him.
"Let’s not talk about the past for now!"
Ling Feng took a deep breath, secretly grateful for his quick reflexes, a few words managed to appease this guy, otherwise, if it really came to blows, he feared he would suffer greatly.
"Ask yourself honestly, with just half a day, my comprehension of Power Shock and Power Penetration, how does it compare to yours back then?"
Ling Feng clutched his chest, having just taken a blow from Big Iron Hammer, the qi-blood within him roiled, making it difficult even to breathe.
Big Iron Hammer’s expression froze, glaring hard at Ling Feng, saying nothing.
Ling Feng only took half a day, in truth, exceeding the pace by tenfold compared to back then.
He born from a Casting Family, spent sixty years from first touching upon the way of Forging to mastering Power Shock.
Even reaching to a level like Ling Feng’s, just initially comprehending Power Shock, took several months.
Compared to Ling Feng, back then his achievements were not worth mentioning.
"Seems like my progress speed is faster than yours, isn’t it?"
Ling Feng coldly snorted, "Then what right do you have to lecture me? Things you yourself couldn’t do, what right do you have to demand me to accomplish?"
"This!"
Big Iron Hammer tightened his fist with all his might, his whole body trembled, gritting his teeth, "Because I’m stronger than you!"
"Hahaha! What a joke, you’re stronger than me!"
Ling Feng burst out laughing, as if hearing the most ridiculous joke in the world, clutched his stomach with laughter, "So, you’re admitting that you’re just a bully! I confess I haven’t offended you, yet due to your past you vent it on me, even though I’m more outstanding than you were, you still deliberately find fault, strike at me, is that not so?"
Big Iron Hammer was rendered speechless by Ling Feng’s words.
Indeed, the reason he wanted to strike at Ling Feng was not due to Ling Feng’s lack of comprehension, nor due to his slow progress.
But because, he never intended to properly guide Ling Feng.
He didn’t even want this person to appear before his eyes.
Because Ling Feng’s excellence hurt him!
"So, you are a coward!"
Ling Feng fixed his gaze on Big Iron Hammer, "If you unjustly vent your past on others, if you’re not a coward, then who is?"
Big Iron Hammer stared at Ling Feng intensely, first angry, then revealing a hint of disheartened expression.
"Yes... from beginning to end, I am... a coward!"
Big Iron Hammer tightened his fists fiercely, the killing intent throughout his body slowly dissipating.
He took a deep breath, slowly turned away, "You, leave... and never come back!"
