The three City Lords had followed Chu Feng to the Great Chiliocosm Upper Realm.
Despite the distance, their formidable strength allowed them to clearly observe the dire situation facing the Chu Heavenly Clan.
“Unbelievable. The Chu Heavenly Clan Leader’s cultivation has soared so dramatically.”
“With his talent, reaching this level is nothing short of a miracle.”
“Likely due to some extraordinary opportunity,” remarked the Divine Body Royal City Lord.
“So what? He’s no match for the Blood-Devouring Hall,” the Monster Clan Sacred City Lord said, turning her gaze to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng, ahead of the three City Lords, was unaware of their presence, hurrying toward the Chu Heavenly Clan.
“Chu Feng’s demeanor has changed. As a Saint-cloak World Spiritist, he’s probably sensed the Chu Heavenly Clan’s plight from this distance,” the Monster Clan Sacred City Lord noted.
“He’s definitely noticed. The question is, what will he do?” the Divine Body Royal City Lord mused.
“Does he even have a choice? If it were me, I’d turn and flee,” the Monster Clan Sacred City Lord said.
“You’re a City Lord! Where’s your dignity?” the Divine Body Royal City Lord shot her a disdainful look.
Far from offended, the Monster Clan Sacred City Lord smiled coyly. “A gentleman bides his time for revenge. Charging into certain death is foolishness.”
“Foolish, perhaps, but it could also be loyalty,” the Ancestral Martial Dragon City Lord countered.
“Oh? Let’s see if Chu Feng is more clever than loyal, or more loyal than clever,” the Monster Clan Sacred City Lord said.
“Let’s find out,” the Ancestral Martial Dragon City Lord replied.
*Swish—*
Suddenly, Chu Feng’s speed surged.
His body transformed.
Thunder marks appeared, and a thunder armor enveloped him. Even the Ancient War Sword and Ancient War Axe materialized.
Chu Feng unleashed every technique to enhance himself, accelerating to reach the Chu Heavenly Clan as fast as possible.
“This guy… is he really rushing to his death?”
The Monster Clan Sacred City Lord’s seductive face showed a flicker of surprise.
But the Ancestral Martial Dragon City Lord’s eyes held a faint smile.
Unlike her, he seemed to have anticipated Chu Feng’s choice.
“You knew he’d protect his clan?” the Monster Clan Sacred City Lord noticed his expression.
“You don’t understand Chu Xuanyuan,” the Ancestral Martial Dragon City Lord said.
“What does this have to do with Chu Xuanyuan?” she asked.
“If you knew Chu Xuanyuan, you’d know Chu Feng would never abandon his clan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be Chu Xuanyuan’s son,” the Ancestral Martial Dragon City Lord explained.
“Oh?” The Monster Clan Sacred City Lord’s eyes wavered, her uncertainty evident.
The Divine Body Royal City Lord, however, grinned excitedly at the speeding Chu Feng. “This kid’s got guts. I like him.”
…
*Boom—*
*Boom—*
*Boom—*
Meanwhile, the battle between the Chu Heavenly Clan Leader and the eight Blood-Devouring Hall experts raged on.
Their overwhelming martial power tore through the heavens, a clash of nine peak Venerables that most onlookers could only feel, not see.
But the outcome was becoming clear.
The black flames on the Clan Leader began to fade, his ferocious expression turning to pain.
His combat power waned as the forbidden medicine’s effects diminished, replaced by excruciating physical torment.
*Roar—*
Yet, despite his disadvantage, the Clan Leader suddenly rallied, roaring as he counterattacked.
His shout was for his clan.
“Flee!”
Realizing he couldn’t hold on, he aimed to use his last strength to delay the enemy, buying his clan a chance to escape.
“Flee? None of you will escape.”
The Blood-Devouring Hall leader sneered.
He vanished, reappearing like a specter before the Clan Leader, his palm slashing like a blade toward the Clan Leader’s dantian.
The Clan Leader sensed the attack and dodged.
But as he evaded, another Blood-Devouring Hall expert appeared, throwing a punch at his face.
*Bang—*
The punch landed, sending the Clan Leader hurtling like a falling star toward the Chu Heavenly Clan’s territory.
Dust billowed, smoke rose…
The impact was so swift that by the time the clan reacted, their leader had crashed into the ground.
His body emitted cracking sounds—every bone shattered.
His face was a bloody, unrecognizable mess.
“Clan Leader!”
The clan’s experts rushed to his side, trying every method to heal him.
But no technique worked. His injuries worsened by the moment.
Cries of grief filled the clan.
They mourned not only for their leader but also for the despair of their situation.
Seeing the nearly defenseless Chu Heavenly Clan, the Blood-Devouring Hall and their allies smirked with sadistic glee.
The clan’s suffering was exactly what they craved.
“What are you waiting for? Do we need to deal with these weaklings ourselves?” one Blood-Devouring Hall expert said to the coalition.
“My lords, leave these trash to us.”
Over five hundred coalition members surged forward, their killing intent aimed at the Chu Heavenly Clan.
They didn’t all attack—only a portion moved first.
These vanguard fighters, over five hundred strong, ranged from peak Martial Immortals to Third Rank Venerables.
The Chu Heavenly Clan braced for disaster.
Without their Clan Leader, even this “rabble” posed a mortal threat.
Aside from the Clan Leader, their strongest was Supreme Elder Chu Hanpeng, a mere Third Rank Venerable.
*Bang, bang, bang—*
Suddenly, muffled explosions rang out, and blood rained from the sky.
It was the attackers!
Countless powerful sword blades appeared from nowhere, sharp and numerous.
Like a storm of blades, they swept through, instantly killing peak Martial Immortals and Third Rank Venerables alike.
The five hundred-plus attackers, who could have devastated the Chu Heavenly Clan, were annihilated in an instant, not a single intact corpse remaining.
“What’s happening?”
Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn.
*Crackle—*
As confusion reigned, a figure appeared, landing before the Chu Heavenly Clan.
“A junior?”
Many were shocked to see the figure was a young cultivator.
But when they recognized his face, their expressions turned to utter disbelief.
They knew who he was.
“It’s Chu Feng!!!”
