He thought he was already arrogant enough, yet this world held someone even more audacious!

"Hahaha, it seems the Madman isn't being shown respect!" cried a Pterodactyl Knight, letting out a burst of laughter.

"Exactly, Madman, what's going on? You always boasted about your standing; what happened this time?" another Pterodactyl Knight chimed in his support.

It was as if water could be squeezed from the Madman's face; Chen Feng's words felt like a pair of slapping hands across his cheeks!

"I... I will see you dead!" he ground out, drawing his three-meter-long knight's lance from the Pterodactyl’s back with a muffled thud. He glanced back at Spencer, seeing his eyes still half-closed—no sign of intervention. He then dug his heels into the Pterodactyl’s neck and vaulted onto the saddle.

The Pterodactyl’s colossal wings flapped, catching the howling wind, and it dove straight toward Chen Feng on the ground!

Given the Pterodactyl's immense size and thick, layered scales, this direct dive was like a massive boulder hurtling down upon Chen Feng.

"Damn, the Madman is serious this time! I can't believe he's even using his signature move, the 'Tyrant's Charge'!" the first Pterodactyl Knight exclaimed in shock.

"But then again, I'd probably make the same choice if I were in that situation!" said another. "This kid is too presumptuous. He knows we’re Pterodactyl Knights and still acts like this. Isn't he just asking for death?"

The entire Pterodactyl Knight contingent acted as mere onlookers, casually discussing the life and death of others, as if they were completely accustomed to such scenes.

Austin and the others had already heard tales of the Pterodactyl Knights’ might. But seeing the Pterodactyl attack firsthand, their expressions still changed. The Pterodactyl Knights were even more formidable than legend suggested. The Pterodactyl’s speed combined with magic was already terrifying, and then there was the Dragon Knight's Dou Qi power! Moreover, the combination of these forces wasn't a simple one plus one; it was a coordinated, organized assault!

At this rate, a single Pterodactyl Knight could probably dispatch five similarly leveled Fighters with ease!

Dou Qi swirled around the Madman's lance, and a magical light shield silently formed before him. Simultaneously, the Pterodactyl showed no weakness; intense fluctuations of magical elements enveloped its body, and a massive orb of light materialized in the air, poised to strike Chen Feng on the ground.

The moves were set; the attack had not yet landed!

A powerful surge of air, like a raging gale, swept through the entire valley floor. The hastily erected tents instantly collapsed in the tempest.

The surrounding people retreated several steps, pressing themselves against the massive boulders in the valley, too afraid to move an inch.

Chen Feng, standing in the eye of this storm, resembled a small skiff tossed on a massive wave—his slender frame appeared terribly vulnerable!

However, everyone knew just how much power was contained within that fragile body. While the Pterodactyl Knight’s presence was imposing, it might not be enough to overcome someone capable of subjugating the Level Four Ice Rock Direwolf King!

Unconsciously, an image of invincibility had formed around Chen Feng in everyone's minds!

"Die!" the Madman roared!

Dou Qi surged violently from his lance, instantly forming a three-meter-long shaft of light that pierced down toward Chen Feng!

Chen Feng shifted slightly to dodge the strike. The Flame Dragon Aura within his body suddenly surged, and he let out a sharp bellow: "Fall!"

As descendants of the Dragon race, Pterodactyls possessed an instinctive sensitivity to Dragon Aura. Chen Feng unleashed his aura without restraint. That terrifying power instantly made the creature dizzy and caused its entire body to tremble. Its flight became unsteady, and it plummeted, crashing onto the ground not far from Chen Feng. The magical light wave it had formed in the air dissipated with a faint pop before it could be released due to the fall.

A Pterodactyl, seven or eight meters long, crashed to the ground at the command of a slender youth!

This sudden turn of events caught the Madman off guard; even his brilliant mind couldn't have anticipated his partner of many years falling away. Caught off balance, he stumbled, nearly toppling from the saddle.

Chen Feng had been waiting for this precise opportunity. Activating the Phantom Crane Steps, his figure shot forward like a phantom, landing atop the Pterodactyl!

He drove one punch into the rider's stomach!

Chen Feng's fist felt like iron and steel as it connected with the Madman’s abdomen. Darkness flashed before the rider's eyes, a searing pain twisted his gut, and he nearly passed out.

"You... you..." The Madman was in too much pain to speak! His eyes filled with confusion and resentment! Just then, he felt a sharp grip around his throat, and all his strength seemed to drain away from him!

Chen Feng lifted him with his right hand, his fingers locked around the Madman's throat.

The Madman was tall and powerfully built, but in Chen Feng’s grip, he was as light as a bundle of straw.

Seeing the cold indifference in the young man's eyes, the Madman was finally gripped by true terror!

It was a coldness toward life itself—the kind only a killer possessed!

The Pterodactyl lying on the ground trembled violently, its long, slender neck stretched out, daring not to move.

Chen Feng's Qi Cyclone cultivation had reached Level Six, meaning the Flame Dragon Aura he could emit had strengthened considerably. The Pterodactyls flying overhead were too far away to be affected, but the one beneath him was cowering under his 'Dragon Might.' How could it dare lift its head?

The swiftness of this reversal stunned everyone, not just Austin and his group, but the Pterodactyl Knights in the air were equally aghast!

What happened to the Madman? Why did he fall so suddenly? Who exactly was this youth with the shovel? How did he subdue the Madman in just one move?

The Dragon Knights could scarcely believe what they were witnessing.

At this moment, Spencer abruptly opened his eyes, which were burning with fierce intensity!

"Madman!" one Dragon Knight shouted, preparing to dive down. Before he could move, Spencer’s voice cut through: "Don't be reckless. I will check things out!"

With that, Spencer tapped his Pterodactyl's head, and the creature obediently began a slow descent to the ground.

The Pterodactyl’s massive wings kicked up clouds of dust as it landed.

"Could you first put down the Madman you are holding?" Spencer's voice was slightly hoarse, carrying a hint of commanding authority beneath its calm tone.

Chen Feng turned and glanced at Spencer. With a sharp flick of his right hand, the Madman flew away like a broken kite, hurtling toward a rock formation in the valley!

Having been crushed in Chen Feng’s grip, the Madman was dizzy and powerless to save himself. Furthermore, Chen Feng had thrown him in the exact opposite direction from Spencer. Watching him about to strike the rock face and be instantly killed in a bloody mess!

Suddenly, a blurred figure flashed past the onlookers, appearing instantly in front of the Madman and catching him!

So fast! That was the first thought among Austin and the others!

Chen Feng's pupils contracted. This man hadn't used his Pterodactyl; his personal cultivation speed alone reached this level!

Spencer caught the Madman and placed him on the ground, clapping his hands with a grim expression.

The opponent hadn't spoken a word before attempting murder; his mental fortitude was unlike anything he had ever seen. Moreover, for some inexplicable reason, the Madman's Pterodactyl was useless, seemingly showing fear toward this person comparable to the fear they showed toward their own Corps Commander's Dragon!

Could this person be a Dragon Tamer? Did he possess the aura of a Flying Dragon because he had formed a pact with one, causing the Pterodactyl to be afraid?

But Spencer and his own Pterodactyl had encountered Flying Dragons before, and they never reacted by groveling on the ground, too terrified to move! How could a human who had merely signed a pact with a Flying Dragon elicit such a response?

Furthermore, judging by his age, the opponent couldn't be older than sixteen! A sixteen-year-old boy defeating an Eighth-Level Dragon Knight barehanded in less than a second!

If this news spread, the entire continent might go mad!

If he were just young and low-level, it wouldn't be frightening. What was terrifying was the opponent's calm thinking and indifferent gaze!

Twenty Dragon Knights were a force that could not be ignored anywhere. Even if the opponent were only a Fifth-Level Fighter or a Fifth-Level Mage, he would have to tread carefully around these Dragon Knights mounted on Pterodactyls!

Yet, this opponent not only refused to evade but also treated them with utter disdain. Did he have some secret reliance?

Spencer glanced at the people around him. At his peak Ninth-Level strength, he gauged the strength of the group with a single look!

The strongest among them was that First-Level Mage, but Spencer didn't take a First-Level Mage seriously; a Dragon Knight with a Pterodactyl, with a bit of luck, could instantly kill a First-Level Mage!

He feared none of the others. However, what confused him was that this shovel-bearing fellow in front of him registered as only having the cultivation level of... a First-Level Fighter? (The shovel provided a concealment effect; although Chen Feng's cultivation had increased, under the shovel's masking, outsiders still perceived him as Level One!)

A First-Level Fighter easily killing an Eighth-Level Dragon Knight from the back of a Pterodactyl?

Even he wouldn't believe that tale if he heard it!

"Who are you?" Spencer finally couldn't help but ask.

Chen Feng didn't fear these Pterodactyl Knights out of arrogance, but because he had something to rely on. His inner Flame Dragon bloodline emitted a pressure that instilled terror in Pterodactyls. A Dragon Knight stripped of his mount was like a tiger without fangs—he might still have claws, but his power was significantly diminished. Moreover, outside the valley were over a hundred Ice Rock Direwolves. If a fight truly broke out, Chen Feng was confident he could wipe them all out within three minutes!

Having immense power provided the capital for arrogance; that was the unspoken rule of this world!

"It doesn't matter who I am! Get out of the valley! We need to rest!" Chen Feng's voice held no emotion whatsoever.

It was understandable why he was angry. After fighting all day, he was finally about to rest when a group of show-offs arrived, demanding he vacate the valley within ten minutes! Who wouldn't be furious?

Hearing this, a sharp glint shot from Spencer's eyes, and an icy chill emanated from them; murder instantly blossomed in his heart.
