The wind along Iron Spine Peak carried a strange tension.
Leaves rustled.
Birds scattered.
Even the mountain beasts hid deep inside caves.
Something dangerous was approaching.
Lin Feng walked slowly down the mountain path, hands behind his back, looking completely relaxed.
But inside—
His Titan Core was spinning steadily.

The Crimson Arrival
Four figures emerged from the fog ahead.
Unlike the assassins earlier, these cultivators did not hide their aura.
Their robes were dark crimson.
Each carried a weapon:
Twin hook blades
Poison spear
Heavy cleaver
Black chain weapon
Their leader stepped forward.
A tall woman with long black hair tied behind her back. Her eyes were sharp like daggers.
"Lin Feng."
Her voice was calm.
"You killed three of our agents."
Lin Feng scratched his cheek.
"They attacked first."
The woman shrugged.
"That does not change the outcome."
She raised her spear.
"You will come with us."
Lin Feng sighed.
"Everyone wants to kidnap me lately."

Impact Domain Expands
Golden ripples spread from Lin Feng's feet.
Four meters.
The ground beneath him creaked.
The Crimson Enforcers stopped briefly.
They could feel it immediately.
The air felt heavier.
Denser.
Like walking into deep water.
The chain wielder frowned.
"What kind of domain is this?"
Lin Feng cracked his knuckles.
"The kind that hurts."
Battle Begins
The cleaver wielder attacked first.
He charged forward with explosive speed, heavy weapon swinging toward Lin Feng's head.
Lin Feng didn't move.
The moment the cleaver entered the domain—
Its speed dropped.
Just slightly.
But that was enough.
Lin Feng stepped forward and punched.
BOOM.
The Impact Domain amplified the strike.
The cleaver wielder was blasted backward, smashing through two trees before crashing into the mountainside.
Unconscious.
The remaining three froze for a split second.
Crimson Coordination
The leader's eyes narrowed.
"Do not enter his range recklessly."
She thrust her spear forward.
Green poison energy shot through the air like a serpent.
At the same time—
The hook-blade user dashed to the side while the chain weapon whipped around from behind.
Three-directional attack.
Perfect coordination.
Lin Feng laughed.
"Oh, now this is fun."
Shock Pulse Barrage
Golden energy gathered around his fists.
Shock Pulse Lv3 Activated
He slammed his fist downward.
Shockwaves exploded across the domain.
The poison spear attack dispersed.
The chain weapon bounced away violently.
The hook-blade user was thrown off balance.
Lin Feng dashed forward instantly.
One punch.
CRACK.
The hook-blade user collapsed.
Two vs One
Now only the leader and chain wielder remained.
The chain weapon snapped through the air like a serpent, attempting to bind Lin Feng's legs.
The leader lunged simultaneously with her spear.
Lin Feng compressed the domain further.
Four meters…
Three meters.
Pressure doubled instantly.
The chain wielder stumbled.
Lin Feng twisted his body and launched a straight punch.
Shock Pulse detonated along the chain's length.
The weapon shattered mid-air.
The user screamed as the backlash threw him violently against a boulder.
One enemy left.
Leader vs Titan
The woman's aura exploded outward.
Late Foundation Establishment.
Her spear glowed dark green.
Poison Qi condensed around the tip like liquid venom.
"You are stronger than expected."
Lin Feng shrugged.
"You're not weak either."
She moved.
Fast.
Her spear pierced through the compressed air of the domain.
Lin Feng dodged barely in time.
The spear tip grazed his shoulder.
Pain burned instantly.
SYSTEM WARNING
Poison Detected
Circulatory Disruption Attempted
Lin Feng clicked his tongue.
"Rude."
Titan Core flared violently.
Golden energy surged through his veins.
The poison burned away instantly.
The woman's eyes widened.
"Impossible…"
Lin Feng smiled slowly.
"Titan body."
The Decisive Strike
He compressed the domain to its limit.
Two meters.
The air became crushing.
Even breathing felt heavy.
The woman tried to move—
Too slow.
Lin Feng appeared before her like lightning.
One fist forward.
Shock Pulse detonated at point-blank range.
BOOM.
The spear shattered.
Her body flew across the mountain path, crashing through stone and sliding to a halt.
Silence.
Victory
Lin Feng exhaled slowly.
Golden light faded.
The forest returned to quiet.

"So."
"The Titan bearer truly exists."
She stood slowly.
"I will go meet him myself."
