Samsara Online
chapter-261

"Now let's just hope those two don't fight, otherwise this whole place will definitely be flattened." Mu Xue said somewhat worried as she looked at Mu Wuying.

The other three patriarchs looked at each other with concern.

"When this girl asked if Nangong Wentian could travel to outer space without any protection, I already figured it out." Mu Xue said slowly as she looked at Xie Yao. Then, she turned her face towards the screen that showed the inside of the room and slowly said, "But with this person's appearance, I am now certain.... This guy has really become a true god."

God!

The Mu Family matriarch's words were like a thunderous flash of lightning in the middle of a quiet spring night, startling and shocking everyone.

"G-God?" Mu Yin repeated in surprise.

"That's right, little Yin." Mu Xue nodded. "A person capable of destroying entire countries, capable of withstanding the attack of the most powerful and terrifying weapon in the history of the human race, with the ability to survive and fly in outer space.... If a person with such kind of power and capabilities is not a God, then what else could he be?"

Indeed, Mu Xue's words were correct. From the human point of view, a God was one capable of creating miracles or doing things that were absolutely impossible for a person to do no matter what.... So, if there suddenly appeared an existence with a power that surpassed all sense of rationality and was completely inexplicable, it was not correct to call such people a God?

"Th-Then that person who is protecting my father too...?" Nangong Lei asked hopefully. If the old man who had suddenly appeared was a God-level existence, then his father's life could probably be saved from the claws of death!

Yao Ruolan, wife of Nangong Wentian, looked at her elder brother anxiously in search of an answer and when she saw him nod her body weakened due to the sudden rise and fall of emotions. Fortunately for her, her niece Yao Mei reacted before everyone else and supported her just before her head hit the ground. However, even after seeing her relative's condition, Yao Mei kept her gaze fixed on the screen intently without wanting to take her eyes away even for a single second.

In the past, she was always praised for her talent but even so she never relaxed. Most of her time was spent training her control and maneuverability over fire in the real world or her reflexes and battle ability in the virtual world. Thanks to Yao Mei's incredible talent and hard work, she was hailed as the most talented and powerful person of the entire younger generation, even being able to fight against the five patriarchs for several minutes without falling into a disadvantage... All this when she had just turned 15 years old!

It was hard for Yao Mei to imagine that such a powerful person could exist, but it was not unacceptable. From her point of view, she still had the chance to catch up with the person who had saved her life and at that moment she would return the favor... As she looked at the playful smile on the twenty years old's guy face reflected on the screen, she was lost in her own thoughts.

-Back inside the adamantine room.

Xie Feng and the old man looked at each other, scanning each other with their eyes.

The old man was wearing clothes so old that Xie Feng didn't even know what year those rags were from. The only thing Xie Feng could estimate was that those clothes definitely came from before the year 1000 after the birth of Christ according to the Christian bible.

The old man's eyes were black but there were small flashes of lightning moving inside them at speeds so fast that a normal person would have difficulty seeing. However, what caught Xie Feng's attention the most was that instead of an annoyed look, there was a small gentle smile on the face of the old man in front of him.

Seeing Xie Feng not let his guard down, the old man was the first to break the silence as he laughed, "You really are a strange creature ha ha ha!"

Xie Feng grimaced and slowly said, "I'll take that as praise."

"And it's fine for you to do so!" The old man nodded firmly and said, "Because I was actually praising you. To think that a young man as young as 20 actually reached the level of old geezers like me, I really wouldn't believe it even if I were beaten to death unless I saw it with my own eyes!"

Without waiting for Xie Feng's reply, the old man continued, "Earlier, we five old geezers thought that the first person to cross the threshold would be the daughter of that kid from the Yao Family.... Who would have thought.... The person who caused that commotion yesterday was you, wasn't it?"

The daughter of that kid from the Yao Family? Xie Feng blinked in confusion until he finally understood and almost fell down when he finally figured out the words of the old man in front of him. This man who looked about 60 years old was actually calling Yao Xiyu a kid! For heaven's sake, weren't they practically the same age!? Xie Feng's mind was in chaos, yet he did not show it on the surface.

"Before you ask so many questions, who the hell are you?" Xie Feng frowned as his muscles swelled and the height of his body increased by a few centimeters. This was a simple technique where he filled his veins and muscles with air, improving blood circulation and increasing his physical strength several folds.

"This..." The unknown old man was surprised by the way the young man in front of him called him.... He had already forgotten when had been the last time someone had dared to speak to him with such disrespect and especially someone as young as Xie Feng. However...

"Ha ha ha ha ha!" The old man began to laugh as he said, "It's okay! If it's you, you have the qualifications of being arrogant!"

Looking Xie Feng in the eyes, the old man stopped his laughter and slowly said, "My name eh.... I guess you can call me Nangong Jun. As for who I am..."The old man, Nangong Jun looked at Nangong Wentian fiercely.

"A-Ancestor..." Nangong Wentian shuddered and did not dare to look Nangong Jun in the eyes.

"I am the ancestor and protector of the Nangong Family." Nangong Jun said slowly, still looking at Nangong Wentian, "I have lived too many years to count and in my entire life, there was never a need where my presence was necessary.... Until today."

Nangong Jun turned his gaze towards Xie Feng and narrowed his eyes as he said, "Even if you wanted to take the lives of the entire Nangong Family, I wouldn't mind. However, the current patriarch and the next patriarch's heir are untouchable..... Young man, I guess you owe me an explanation."

Xie Feng was so dumbfounded that his mouth opened wide. However, soon enough he began to burst out laughing as he looked at Nangong Jun as if he were a clown.

"You want an explanation?"

Xie Feng sneered as he tried to calm his laughter. However, before Nanong Jun could ask what was so funny, Xie Feng's body was covered with hundreds of small lightning flashes and several wind blades.

BOOM!

The ground beneath Xie Feng's feet cracked and the cracks spread for several hundred meters, destroying some of the adamantine ground that could withstand even a nuclear explosion! Even the ground on the surface shook severely, causing the soldiers to panic!

Nangong Jun's face changed drastically and his body was also covered with lightning when without hesitation he punched forward.

BOOOOOOM!!!!

Xie Feng's fist collided with Nangong Jun's fist and the ground around them was completely crushed! Nangong Wentian, who was relatively close, was sent flying until he spat blood several times until he finally fainted. The people outside the room screamed in panic as their bodies were sent flying a few meters and, fortunately, powerless people like Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and Yao Zenyu, were quickly supported or they might have been injured.

The alarms in the military base began to beep frenetically and red lights flashed everywhere. Thousands of soldiers began to head toward the site of the explosion, worried that something bad had happened to the important people there.

As Xie Feng glared with sharp eyes at the old man in front of him, he said coldly, "It seems that you are used to arrogantly asking for explanations.... What a coincidence, me too!"

Nangong Jun's face had turned extremely ugly. He never in his life imagined that the young man in front of him would suddenly attack without hesitation!

BOOM!

BOOM!

The two's fists were still connected and Nangong Jun's lightning was fighting against Xie Feng's lightning. Although Xie Feng's lightning was extremely weak compared to Nangong Jun's, with the support of the wind his lightning was slowly starting to suppress his enemy's lightning!

Nangong Jun's face finally filled with disbelief as he felt the ground beneath his feet sinking. For every second that passed, a hole several meters deep formed as if it wanted to bury him there forever.

What a terrifying physical body! Nangong Jun was not only angry, he was also extremely shocked.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

...

"Today, unless you, old dog, give me an explanation of how that old stuff with the surname Nangong dared to threaten the security of my home, not only will he die.... You will die too!" Xie Feng's eyes widened, as if he had gone mad and reasoning had left him.

BOOM!!!

The walls began to shudder ferociously and the ceiling several kilometers above their heads began to show signs of collapsing at any moment.
