Chapter 1856 - 1852: Nowhere to Be Found
The old man hurriedly twisted his head to look behind him, but when he looked, he found that there was still no sign of Chen Feng’s figure there.
And the trace of Chen Feng’s aura he had just caught also vanished at this moment.
This made the old man furrow his brows.
Could it be that what he sensed just now was his own illusion?
That shouldn’t be possible!
He was a dignified Heavenly Rank Late Stage expert. Once his Spiritual Sense spread out, unless it was someone far stronger than him, they could not evade his Spiritual Sense.
Yet Chen Feng was only a Heavenly Rank Early Stage. Even if he had some means to fight above his level, his own Realm was still lower than his. Logically speaking, it should be absolutely impossible for him to evade his Spiritual Sense!
But now, what on earth was going on?
The more the old man thought about it, the less he could figure it out. His brows were tightly squeezed into the shape of the character "chuan."
Right after, he hurriedly looked around, but still could not find any trace of Chen Feng’s figure.
He spread his Spiritual Sense out again, carefully probing all around.
After about two or three seconds, the old man’s expression suddenly changed.
Because his Spiritual Sense suddenly caught Chen Feng’s aura, right at his left side, and very close, at most only a meter away!
This made a cold light flash in the old man’s eyes. He didn’t waste any time, directly swinging his right palm, carrying a large amount of True Qi, and viciously slapped toward his left side.
This palm, he intended to cripple Chen Feng in one blow.
He watched as this palm, carrying terrifying destructive power, slammed fiercely toward his left side.
However, the result was the same as before.
The old man’s palm landed completely on empty air; there wasn’t even a miserable scream.
This made the old man freeze again as he turned his head to look to his left.
It was still completely empty there!
And Chen Feng’s aura, at the very instant he turned his head, disappeared without a trace, as if it had evaporated from the Human World.
Even though his Spiritual Sense was fully spread out, he still couldn’t catch Chen Feng.
At this moment, the old man felt like he was about to collapse.
Because he knew very well in his heart that human senses could deceive themselves. For example, eyes, ears—illusions could appear.
But Spiritual Sense absolutely would not!
Spiritual Sense came from a certain fluctuation of his own brain; it was the truest kind of perception!
Especially for experts who had broken through to the Heaven Rank—the sensing ability of their Spiritual Sense far surpassed their eyes and ears.
Many Heavenly Rank Experts at times like this didn’t even bother using eyes or ears to distinguish things anymore.
They directly used their Spiritual Sense to replace their eyes and ears to sense their surroundings.
So, Spiritual Sense was the most accurate!
But now, he still couldn’t catch Chen Feng’s figure with his Spiritual Sense.
Even if he did catch it, when he attacked that spot, it was still empty, with no sign of Chen Feng at all.
This left the old man completely confused; he just couldn’t figure out why.
He took a deep breath.
The old man closed his eyes, calmed his heart, and carefully probed every inch of ground around him with his Spiritual Sense.
But after a full sweep, he still didn’t find even the slightest wisp of Chen Feng’s aura.
Before, whether real or fake, at the very least he could still catch one strand of Chen Feng’s aura.
But now, he couldn’t even sense Chen Feng’s aura at all, as if Chen Feng had evaporated from the Human World.
Or rather, it was as if Chen Feng had never appeared in front of him in the first place.
This left the old man extremely puzzled.
Could it be that everything before had been his own hallucination, that he’d been talking to empty air the whole time?
Thinking of this, the old man hurriedly turned his head to look at the woman standing to the side and asked, "Hey, Xiao Lan, did you see that Chen Feng or not?"
As soon as he said this, the woman was just about to open her mouth to answer.
But right at that moment, her expression suddenly changed. Her eyes abruptly widened, her pupils contracted, as if she had seen a ghost.
She hastily raised her hand, pointed behind the old man, and stammered, "Ol...Old Zhang, he...he’s right behind you!"
As soon as these words came out, the old man’s face instantly sank.
It had to be said, as a Heavenly Rank Late Stage expert, he did have some real strength.
His reaction speed was also extremely fast.
The instant he finished listening to the woman’s words—
He immediately mobilized his True Qi, wrapped it around his right palm, and fiercely slapped backward.
With such swift reaction speed and attack speed,
Ordinary people simply wouldn’t be able to dodge.
However, when the old man’s palm struck toward his back—
The old man froze yet again.
Because, as expected, this palm once again struck nothing but air.
This made it impossible for the old man to remain calm any longer.
Had he really run into a ghost today?
A mere Heavenly Rank Early Stage brat like Chen Feng, clearly right by his side, yet slippery like a loach—he couldn’t even touch him, couldn’t even see him.
This was just too damn ridiculous!
If this got out, where would he, Old Zhang, be able to put his face in the future?
A dignified Heavenly Rank Late Stage expert being toyed with and led around in circles by a Heavenly Rank Early Stage.
This was simply an unbearable humiliation!
"Bastard, get out here! Chen Feng, are you a turtle hiding in its shell? If you’ve got the guts, stop hiding! Come out and fight me to the death! Didn’t you say you were so powerful?"
For a moment,
The old man flew into a towering rage, his fury reaching the extreme.
His eyes were practically spitting fire.
Right now, he was truly both furious and resentful.
If Chen Feng would fight him properly head‑on, then even if he lost to Chen Feng, he could accept it.
But now, Chen Feng didn’t even show his face, letting him neither touch nor bump into him.
This left him with a body full of strength that he couldn’t use at all; there was no describing how mad he felt.
At this moment,
The old man’s eyes were bloodshot with rage. He had a bellyful of fire with nowhere to vent it, so he could only swing his right palm, True Qi surging, and furiously slap at the surroundings.
Although every one of his palms still landed on empty air,
He was already on the verge of going berserk in his fury and naturally couldn’t be bothered with that anymore.
"Chen Feng, get the hell out here, I’m going to kill you!"
The old man roared in fury as he swung his right palm again and again, slamming it viciously into the air around him.
The terrifying palm wind tore up all the ground nearby.
After all, the destructive power of a Heavenly Rank Late Stage expert was still extremely formidable.
Every palm he struck out carried an incomparably terrifying pressure.
Even the woman and the middle‑aged man didn’t dare move closer at this moment.
Otherwise, if any of the old man’s palms landed on them, they simply wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
"Old Zhang, you must calm down, you must not throw your own formation into chaos!"
Seeing the old man acting like a madman, the woman hurriedly spoke out to comfort him.
"That bastard Chen Feng is simply a coward. He talked so big just now, but now he’s hiding and won’t even show his face. I’ve never seen someone this despicable. If he’s got the guts, let him come out and fight me!"
The old man seemed not to have heard the woman at all, desperately venting his anger on the empty air around him!
