The Dragon Lord's face revealed displeasure; it was the first time he had encountered such an arrogant scholar. The Black Mountain Old Demon cast an appreciative glance at Qin Feng and said to the Black Python, "I like this scholar's character, ha ha." The Black Python merely smiled and said nothing.
"I can't take it anymore!" roared the Qinghe Water Lord. With a wave of his hand, a blue light shot towards Qin Feng.
"Watch out!" Ning Caichen and the others exclaimed in surprise, not expecting this Water Lord to strike so suddenly.
Qin Feng's expression turned cold as he swiftly drew his Red Longsword. With a swift motion, he cleaved through the blue light that flew towards him. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the longsword shot forward at incredible speed, reaching the Qinghe Water Lord in an instant.
The sword circled around the Qinghe Water Lord's neck once. Bai Mei stood up abruptly, her face filled with shock as she looked at the Red Longsword and Sha Qi.
The Dragon Lord's expression changed; he hadn't expected that the Qinghe Water Lord would be killed in just one exchange. He raised his hand, ready to attack Qin Feng.
"Dragon Lord, I advise you not to make a move," Black Python's calm voice suddenly rang out.
"Huh?" The Dragon Lord froze for a moment, turning to look at Black Python with uncertainty before finally glancing at the Black Mountain Old Demon. "What do you mean?"
The Black Mountain Old Demon looked bewildered and replied, "You ask me? How would I know?" He then turned to Black Python, "This is a matter of the Dragon Palace; we have no need to interfere."
Black Python chuckled and said, "Big Brother, I just happen to like that person."
"What?" The Black Mountain Old Demon was taken aback and quickly raised his head to look at Qin Feng.
At this moment, Qin Feng had already sheathed his longsword and stood calmly on the ground, gazing at the Dragon Lord as if he had merely killed a chicken.
Zhu Fang and the others were already accustomed to such behavior, but Nie Rong was the most shocked by it—how could someone act so impulsively?
The Black Mountain Old Demon scrutinized Qin Feng for a moment, narrowing his eyes. "Hmm, he seems quite impressive now."
He then looked at the Dragon Lord and shrugged. "Dragon Lord, I vouch for this person."
The Dragon Lord's expression darkened further; how could he let someone who had killed his men go so easily?
Black Python slowly stood up and declared, "Brother, let the battle begin. Dragon Lord looks down on you completely."
Black Mountain Old Demon paused for a moment, then forced a smile as he looked at Black Python. His brother's temper was truly something else. However, being inherently unruly, he immediately released his imposing aura and laughed heartily, "If it's a battle you want, then let's have it! Do you really think I, Black Mountain, can be bullied?"
This surge of energy caused the scholars present to drop to the ground in shock, their faces filled with confusion. What was happening? Weren't they just attending a Dragon Palace Banquet? How did it turn into a battle against demons?
They regretted their decision immensely; had they known, they wouldn't have come. It was clear that interacting with demons was perilous, even in the Dragon Palace.
Nie Rong and his companions were protected by Qin Feng, so they remained unaffected by the overwhelming aura.
The demons on the right were startled but had no intention of getting involved; they stepped aside. Meanwhile, those on the left, who were under the command of the Dragon Palace, all stood up, brandishing their weapons and eyeing Black Mountain Old Demon with hostility.
Although they felt some fear, the presence of Dragon Lord loomed large before them; they couldn't possibly flee.
The atmosphere in the grand hall grew tense in an instant. Many turned their gazes toward Dragon Lord, knowing that if he spoke now, a great battle would surely erupt.
