636 Could it Be That This Guy Has a Protagonist Halo?
Ye Feng’s internal strength was extremely strong now. If the other party was a martial artist, he would be able to detect it easily.
However, he did not sense the flow of aura in the middle-aged man’s body just now. It was only now that the other party took the initiative to release his aura that he sensed it.
There was only one explanation for this. The other party’s strength far exceeded his.
It could be said that he was the strongest martial artist he had ever met since he started practicing martial arts.
However, he did not know if he had reached the legendary Grandmaster realm.
Just as his heart was pounding, Zhuang Xiaojiao had already run to the front of the sword. She gripped the hilt with both hands and pulled it up with all her might.
However, her little face was flushed red, but it did not move at all like the others.
“Wow, it’s so magical. Why is it so heavy? Ye Feng, come and try.”
Ye Feng walked over and immediately activated the system’s deep scan. The information of this sword appeared in front of him.
[Zhanlu Sword: It was forged by Ou Yezi, a sword forging master in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is the first of the five famous swords… Value: inestimable!]
When he saw this information, he felt a magnitude 12 earthquake in his heart.
This sword was the legendary Zhanlu Sword?
To be able to see this legendary sword here was definitely a great fortune.
However, when he thought of the abnormally powerful middle-aged man, it seemed very reasonable for this famous sword to appear here.
Zhuang Xiaojiao saw that he was in a daze and hurriedly urged him, “What are you doing? Hurry up and give it a try.”
Ye Feng regained his senses. He hurriedly pulled her up and turned around to leave.
His abnormal behavior immediately attracted the ridicule of many people.
Especially the rich second-generation heir from before. He had been standing at the side watching and did not leave.
Seeing Zhuang Xiaojiao’s beauty and Ye Feng’s actions, he immediately mocked, “What a coward, you don’t even dare to try? Are you a man?”
Ye Feng faced his ridicule, but he still had a calm expression. “Such a divine weapon can only be wielded by a peerless hero. If a mortal is greedy, they will only suffer a backlash. I’m not worthy of the title!”
When everyone heard his elegant explanation, they scoffed even more. They all felt that he didn’t dare to try because he was afraid of losing face. Now, he was trying to defend himself. It was too ridiculous.
However, only the middle-aged man’s eyes flashed with a strange light. He knew that this young man had probably already recognized the origin of this sword.
“Young friend, can you come forward for a chat?”
He had been repeating the same sentence before, and this was the first time he changed his words.
The people who were watching were shocked. They looked at Ye Feng curiously.
This coward was actually able to let this middle-aged man treat him differently? It was simply inconceivable.
Zhuang Xiaojiao also looked at Ye Feng in confusion. Could it be that this guy had the aura of a protagonist? No matter where he went, he would receive special treatment?
Otherwise, why would this middle-aged man be so enthusiastic toward him when he was always so cold to others?
The rich second-generation looked unhappy. He was a pretentious person, but the middle-aged man didn’t look at him favorably. Instead, he looked at this ‘coward’ differently. He couldn’t figure it out.
Ye Feng ignored everyone’s gazes. Since that middle-aged man had already spoken, he could not reject him. He could only brace himself and walk forward.
“Old senior…”
He had just walked up to the man, and before he could say anything, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
The middle-aged man suddenly jumped up and threw a punch at him.
The power of this punch was extremely terrifying. It made a sharp sound in the air, like a dragon’s roar.
No one expected that the middle-aged man who was smiling at Ye Feng would suddenly attack without any warning.
“Ye Feng, be careful!”
Zhuang Xiaojiao was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shouted loudly.
As for the others, they were all gloating.
If they couldn’t get it, they naturally didn’t want others to get it. Otherwise, wouldn’t it indirectly prove that they were inferior to others?
Especially the rich second-generation heir, who laughed the loudest.
“Hahaha, this kid was just bragging about what kind of masterpiece this sword is and that only heroes can hold it. I didn’t expect that flattery would come to the horse’s hooves. He didn’t appreciate it at all, haha.”
Ye Feng did not have the time to care about these people’s mockery. He was fully focused on dealing with this middle-aged man’s attack.
In the beginning, he was indeed a little panicked, because this man was too strong. If he chose to fight head-on, he would very likely be defeated.
Since he couldn’t fight head-on, he could only retreat first.
However, this man’s power was like a torrential flood. No matter which direction he retreated in, he could be swallowed up in an instant.
Seeing that the man’s fist was getting closer and closer, he forced himself to calm down and carefully observed every detail of the other party.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. He had finally caught a flaw in his opponent.
This flaw was extremely subtle and could very well disappear in the blink of an eye.
Without any hesitation, he immediately rolled on the ground in a sorry state and crawled out of the thin air. At the same time, he punched the man’s back.
However, this person’s body seemed to be enveloped by an invisible layer of air. His punch was like a clay ox entering the sea, instantly dissolved without a trace.
But at least he had temporarily avoided the opponent’s fatal blow, which made him feel like he had survived a disaster.
This series of actions sounded complicated, but it actually happened in a breath.
Many people did not even see it clearly, they only saw the middle-aged man suddenly making trouble, Ye Feng escaped in a sorry state, and then… He was gone.
It looked really ordinary.
“Eh?”
The middle-aged man did not chase after him. He turned around and looked at Ye Feng in shock.
He did not use his full strength just now, just to test the young man’s ability to adapt, and at the same time deliberately revealed a trace of weakness.
However, this trace of weakness was fleeting. For the vast majority of martial artists, they either could not catch it or could not escape even if they caught it.
Only those with extremely sharp consciousness and rich combat experience could escape.
This young man was fearless in the face of danger. He keenly caught this flaw and successfully escaped.
If it was just this, although it was rare, it was not enough to shock him.
What really surprised him was that the other party actually counterattacked him while he was escaping.
Even though he had vigorous internal strength to protect his body and ordinary people could not break through his defense, it was enough to make him break out in cold sweat.
If the other party’s strength was on par with his, then he might have been seriously injured just now.
This made him reevaluate this young man.
