"You have twenty seconds to attack as you wish, I will not counterattack during that time.... Twenty seconds later, your life in this world will no longer be necessary!"
The people outside the room heard the words and were shocked. But what surprised everyone the most was the clear confidence with which Xie Feng was acting; even Gu Pojun who thought he knew him best in terms of power was so surprised that his eyes widened. However, even under his surprise, as the main leader of China he did not forget his duties and quickly commanded in a serious voice:
"Be sure to record every detail of what happens inside that room in this battle and measure the power levels."
Several scientists with some tablets in their hands began to work quickly as they watched the graphs on the screen. The atmosphere inside the room began to fluctuate rapidly and Nangong Wentian's power scale began to rise exponentially.
"Leader Nangong just released power equivalent to danger level S." A scientist said quickly.
"It will probably start slow after hearing this Xie Feng guy's words." Mu Xue said as she narrowed her eyes towards her daughter Mu Wuying with a suspicious look hoping for some reaction from her.
Unfortunately, she failed to get anything meaningful. Mu Xue knew that her daughter had dated Xie Feng in college, but she thought it was simply out of spite. After all, it was impossible for Mu Wuying to fall in love with someone at present.
Yao Ruolan smiled coldly and while looking at Xie Yao said slowly: "You know something? Your dear elder brother made sure to rip out the tongue, the eyes, and even crushed every bone in my son's body... When my husband finishes that scum's life, I will personally take care of you."
Hearing his mother's words, Nangong Lei couldn't help but give Xie Yao a glance and think that wasting such beauty like this would be a regret. Nangong Lei could not help but secretly switch glances between Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue, comparing the two of them.... If his father defeated and killed Xie Feng, even if he couldn't touch Gu Qianxue due to the Gu Family, Xie Yao would no longer be under the protection of any demon that could stop him from doing whatever he wanted.
Xie Yao folded her arms, emphasizing her already big breasts even more and giving a posture of power. She looked at Yao Ruolan with compassion and said slowly, "Is that so? Let me ask you something, old granny.... Can your husband travel to outer space without protection?"
"Hahahaha!"
Xie Yao's question took everyone, including Gu Qianxue completely by surprise. However, after coming out of their shock, Nangong Lei couldn't help but laugh.
"If my father could do something like that, then he would no longer be considered a human. But that also means that since he can't do it, no one can!"
Xie Yao gave him a sidelong glance before turning her attention back to the screens, but not before muttering, "Too bad for you then." Her eyes shone slightly and no one knew what she was thinking.
However, what she didn't notice was that in reality, the other four patriarchs had a change of expression on their faces and stared at her as if they wanted to make sure of something. Unfortunately for them, Xie Yao was so focused on the scene inside the room that she didn't even react to them.

"HA HA HA HA HA!"
Nangong Wentian laughed hysterically when he heard Xie Feng's provocative and disdainful words. However, within that laughter, there was also a great amount of fury and lightning began to burst out of his body in torrents.
How could Nangong Wentian not get angry after seeing Xie Feng's casual posture and hearing his words?
"Since you're so anxious to die.... Then let me fulfill your damn wish!" Nangong Wentian roared.
Bang!
With hundreds of blue lightning flashing above his body, Nangong Wentian stomped the ground beneath his feet forcefully and shot out towards Xie Feng.
Xie Feng's gaze was as cold as ice. Seeing Nangong Wentian rushing at him without further ado, his posture did not change in the slightest.
Wooosh!
A breeze of wind with lightning all around struck Xie Feng's face. If a normal person was standing here and now, that wind breeze alone would be enough to make thousands of cuts on that person's face.
"Die!" Nangong Wentian suddenly appeared behind Xie Feng and punched towards his back with his right fist.
Boom!
An explosion similar to a grenade blast was the result of Nangong Wentian's punch. Against a Xie Feng who still maintained the same position, it was impossible for Nangong Wentian to miss.
However...
"What is this..." Nangong Wentian clenched his teeth and tried to go further, but his fist couldn't reach the back of its target no matter what; even the surrounding blue lightning had been stopped.
Between Nangong Wentian's fist and Xie Feng's back was a small, thin wind barrier that shuddered every time Nangong Wentian tried to go further.
Xie Feng, who still held the same exact position with both hands resting in his pants pockets, tilted his head back slightly and said coldly, "Nineteen seconds."
Nangong Wentian couldn't help but laugh and began a series of quick attacks.
Boom!
Boom!!
Boom!!!
...
With his fists completely covered in lightning, Nangong Wentian's every strike became more and more powerful as it hit the small wind barrier. He tried to hit different parts of Xie Feng's body unsuccessfully.
What frustrated Nangong Wentian the most was that as each second passed, Xie Feng's indifferent voice sounded in his ears as if he was reminding him of his remaining life time.
After hitting more than five hundred times in five seconds, Nangong Wentian finally stopped after realizing that hits of this level would not be enough.
"At least, your defense is good." Admitted one of the most powerful beings in the world.
However, the twenty years old's young man reply was a single word:
"Fourteen."
"I see..." Nangong Wentian nodded.
Xie Feng's reply continued to be limited to a single word: "Thirteen."
"Then you can die." Nangong Wentian said indifferently.
"Lightning World!" the patriarch of the Nangong Family bellowed.
BOOM!
Hundreds of billions of lightning bolts exploded from Nangong Wentian's body and the entire room was dyed blue. The crackling of the lightning and the thunder they caused upon impacting each other was as loud as the explosion of hundreds of billions of bombs exploding at the same time!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!!
BOOOOOOOM!!!
"I'll turn you into ashes, YOU DAMN ARROGANT BASTARD!"
The people outside the room could no longer see whatever was going on inside after everything turned bright blue and everyone's view was blocked by the lightning.
All they could do was listen to Nangong Wentian's roars of fury along with the thunderous explosions that shook the earth beneath their feet.
In fact, the power currently released by Nangong Wentian was so great that if it was released on the surface, all the energy of a megacity like Beijing would be cut off immediately and people within several kilometers around would be turned into mortal remains in less than a second!
"EX level power detected!" One of the scientists shouted in terror and excitement while watching the graphs go up. "The power released by Leader Nangong is at the limit and is currently actually almost twice as powerful as the last time it was tested!"
Yang Jie was a middle-aged man in his late 50s to early 60s. However, his body was as sturdy as a mountain and brimming with power like a beast. He looked at the scientist and asked in a forceful voice, "What about the power of the boy surnamed Xie?"
This was the question everyone had. The fact that Nangong Wentian had become more powerful did not surprise any of those present, after all, the four patriarchs had also become stronger compared to the past, and considering that the last examination the five of them took was about a decade ago, becoming more powerful was normal from their points of view.
"This..." That same scientist searched and searched, but hesitated for a moment not knowing what to say.
The scientist's silence caused people to take it with different reactions. People who hated Xie Feng smiled while those who liked him were worried.
Even Xie Yao who had already seen what he was capable of could not help but turn slightly pale. This was not about her disbelief towards him, on the contrary, she confided with every part of her soul in Xie Feng. However, when one person loves another, worrying about the smallest detail was something inevitable and natural; something that no human being could avoid.
But most surprising of all was that even the indifferent Yao Mei had a small frown on her face. This small gesture was almost undetectable, however, her older brother Yao Zenyu noticed it and couldn't help but half-closed his eyes when a series of unknown thoughts ran through his mind at full speed.
"Speak." Mu Xue's soft but authoritative voice urged. She had seen Mu Wuying's body shudder slightly but it was less than a second before she recovered. This greatly confused the current matriarch of the Mu Family, but she knew this was not the time or place to ask questions or jump to conclusions.
"Yes!"The scientist finally reacted and after sliding his hand on the tablet, he said somewhat confused, "The power of the Demon Storm agent.... Completely disappeared. Our computers can't find any burst of power circulating around him.... It's as if he were a normal person!"
