Chapter 268 World panic and gathering of "Gods" (3)
"On the other hand..." Yao Chu looked at Xie Feng from head to toe, clearly Xie Feng had no apparent problems since there was even a thin layer of wind under his feet acting as a support. Yao Chu said with a strange tone, "How you still standing?"
Not only Yao Chu had that doubt, no matter whether it was the other three ancestors or the five patriarchs, everyone was confused as to how Xie Feng was standing as if nothing had happened after executing a full attack at such a power. The reason why these attacks were called full attacks was precisely because the user used all of their power and all of their energy reserves to unleash an extremely strong attack; as a result, it was normal to lose combat ability and even lose consciousness for a few minutes as was the case with Nangong Jun at present was not at all uncommon either.
Aside from doubts, there were some people who were terrified as they looked at the young man in his early twenties standing in the void.... For example, Nangong Wentian and Nangong Lei.
The father and son pair of the Nangong Family had thought that perhaps, after Xie Feng lost his combat ability, they could take revenge on him. In fact, the two's idea was not bad at all considering that even if their family's ancestor was also knocked out; there was still Nangong Wentian there.... And he probably wasn't the only one with thoughts of getting rid of a possible walking disaster.
Xie Feng was no idiot either. Seeing the faces of most of the people present, Xie Feng immediately understood what many of them were thinking and couldn't help but secretly scoff.
Until now, many centuries of history had passed since the founding of present-day China and the country was perfectly maintained under the guidance and care of the five major great families. However, what would happen if a sixth family suddenly rose to power? And even if a sixth family did not rise to power, what would happen if one of the five families suddenly gained a power that put them directly above the other four? The answer was obvious; the delicate balance that had naturally formed would immediately collapse.
Xie Feng firmly believed that all the ancestors and probably all the patriarchs looked at him as a time bomb that could explode at any moment; more so considering that he was still too young with plenty of room to grow and unstable emotions due to the lack of experience and maturity that only time gave each person. Probably, only Gu Pojun would take his side considering that by engaging with Gu Qianxue, he was technically part of the Gu Family as well so the power as China's number 1 family would be so entrenched that it would be unassailable for many years to come.
Generally, keeping a low profile was a good option. But who was Xie Feng? He was arrogant as hell but he possessed the capabilities and power to back up such arrogance, so it was more correct to say that his confidence was overwhelming. Besides, if he showed weakness, the other fierce wolves would probably try to end his life.
Therefore...
"Em?" Xie Feng looked at the Yao Family ancestor with a confused expression. "I don't understand what you mean? Although if it's true that that attack exhausted me, at least I can release something of that level four or five times more. Isn't it the same for you all?"
He lied.
In truth, although the attack Xie Feng was a full attack, he wasn't exhausted in the slightest. The cloud of chaotic energy that was divided into various parts and moved inside his body was filled with wind energy and he could use wind-type attacks tirelessly! This was the difference between his wind power and his newly acquired weak control over lightning! He still didn't understand what the difference was, but he was willing to find out.... And he believed that Samsara Online had all the answers he sought.
Xie Feng's words were surprising to say the least. The ancestors looked at each other with some well-hidden concern. Although they did not believe that the young man in front of them was completely telling the truth and was probably weaker than he looked, none of them dared to step forward to test that theory after looking at Nangong Jun's pitiful condition.
If Xie Feng was telling the truth or still hiding something, wouldn't they make fools of themselves and might even lose their lives? It was not worth it... Besides...
"That's good." Yang Luoyang nodded without changing his expression. He looked at Xie Feng with a serious expression and slowly said, "Your battle against Nangong Jun attracted the attention of certain people. There will probably only be a verbal confrontation and then everything will be over, but just in case you'd better prepare yourself."
Xie Feng blinked in confusion and was about to ask what he was referring to when he unconsciously surveyed the entire ocean and immediately noticed what the Yang Family ancestor was referring to. Before, Xie Feng was 95% focused on the battle and 5% protecting his loved ones, so only now he noticed several powerful auras approaching.
The Yang Family ancestor stepped forward and protected his family behind him while looking to the west with an indifferent expression.
Immediately, the rest of the ancestors did the same. Yao Chu, knowing that the Nangong Family and the Yao Family had a strong marriage alliance, handed over the fainted Nangong Jun to Nangong Wentian and protected both families behind him.
Now, only Xie Feng and Xie Yao were exposed.
Xie Feng winked at the slightly anxious Xie Yao to tell her not to worry about anything and stood beside her while looking off into the distance with a calm expression.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
...
The wind swooshed and about ten or so silhouettes appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Even before they arrived in front of Xie Feng and the rest, these people released their aura without restraint causing the ocean to vibrate constantly and causing the atmosphere to become several times heavier.
The auras of Yao Chu, Gu Yating, Mu Xuegang, and Yang Luoyang also burst out furiously and began to silently fight against the newcomers.
Soon, the ten or so people stopped several meters apart and began to inspect each other. Obviously, although they all seemed to have come together, they had only met on their way to Antarctica so they were still on guard against each other.
Xie Yao, being undoubtedly the only seemingly 100% normal human being, became apprehensive in the presence of so many powerful beings so she unconsciously took a step closer to Xie Feng to feel more comfortable. Noticing this concern in her, Xie Feng took her hand gently and inspected the other side slightly.
Eight men and two women.
Most of them looked elderly but there were also 3 men who looked relatively young. But the one who caught Xie Feng's attention the most was a man who looked to be about the same age as Nangong Lei.
This person had a toned body, his skin was very tanned and his naked torso was covered with strange tattoos and totems of all kinds. He was undoubtedly the most striking of all.
"That person's name is Luiz Fernandez, he is of Amazonian origin. Although he looks less than thirty, he is actually 50 years old.... Even at such a young age but he is already at our level. Before your appearance he was considered the most talented and probably only the princess of the Yao Family, Yao Mei could compare to him in the future." The wind caressed Xie Feng's face and Gu Yating's voice entered his ears without anyone else noticing. "Be careful, that guy is extremely lecherous and violent."
Xie Feng gave the Gu Family ancestor a look of thanks and continued to inspect the rest.
After almost two whole minutes of silence, an old man who appeared to be pure bone as his skin was practically glued to his skeleton, talked: "He he he.... It's been a while since the last time we all got together. Apparently the friends from China had some trouble so they decided to settle it by force?"
The scary looking skeletal old man looked at the fainted Nangong Jun and slowly said, "Seeing that old man over there faints and there is no one else around, I assume he was the winner of the battle. Ke ke ke... I wonder who was the poor bastard who was blown to pieces. Really, too bad this senior didn't get to see such a wonderful scene."
The other nine newcomers looked at the people from China as if to wait for a confirmation to this hypothesis. But no one from the Chinese side said anything in return.
On the other hand, Yang Li'er, Mu Wuying, Mu Yin, Yang Tian, Yao Mei, Nangong Lei, and Yao Zenyu, looked at Xie Feng unconsciously; of course, they knew that the real winner and the last person standing had been him. However, since the elders did not say anything they did not dare to say a single word either.
As for Xie Feng, he simply kept silent and stood next to Xie Yao.
He knew very well the reason why the ten powerful newcomers believed that Nangong Jun was the ultimate winner; they were underestimating him. Not only were they underestimating him, they knew how powerful Nangong Jun's lightning was and how terrifying his Spear of Indra was so upon seeing him alive, they easily assumed that after defeating his opponent, he simply fainted.
