“Wang Chen?”
Compared to the shock of the onlookers, the disciples of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect were more bewildered.
In their eyes, Chu Feng was their fellow disciple, Wang Chen.
They knew Wang Chen was usually arrogant and overbearing.
But they also knew he was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
In front of the weak, Wang Chen was a king.
But in the presence of the strong, he was a coward.
In a setting like this, among the hundred disciples of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect, Wang Chen was one of the weaker ones.
By all accounts, he should be cautious even when speaking among his fellow disciples,不敢惹事.
So how dare he now openly challenge Song Jinglun, the strongest disciple of Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain?
Moreover, Wang Chen’s words didn’t just provoke Song Jinglun.
They insulted all the disciples of Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain and even the Wind Thunder Sword Sect, including their top disciple, Ouyang Pingzhi.
Wasn’t this too bold?
“Ouyang Pingzhi, I didn’t expect you to be so useless.”
“Even your junior brother looks down on you.”
Song Jinglun mocked Ouyang Pingzhi with a sneer.
Ouyang Pingzhi’s face was filled with anger. Compared to Song Jinglun’s taunts, the defiance from his own junior brother was far more humiliating.
“Wang Chen, everyone’s lining up to enter. What’s your rush?”
“Is it only you who’s in a hurry?”
Though Ouyang Pingzhi’s tone was displeased, his words remained polite.
This was, of course, because many prominent figures were watching, and he had to maintain his composure.
But while Ouyang Pingzhi put on a facade, Chu Feng didn’t indulge him. With a cold laugh, Chu Feng said, “Are you blind?”
“What did you say?”
Ouyang Pingzhi and the Wind Thunder Sword Sect disciples could hardly believe their ears.
Wang Chen dared to speak to Ouyang Pingzhi like this?
And with such harsh words?
Had he eaten a bear’s heart or a leopard’s gall?
Even Bai Lulu turned to Chu Feng, a hint of surprise in her clear eyes.
“Look up at the mirrored projection in the sky.”
“The disciples of the All-Heaven Sect and Dragon Phoenix Immortal Pavilion have already entered the boundary world.”
“And you’re all standing here wasting words.”
“If you have conflicts, settle them aside. Don’t block the path like you’re squatting in a latrine without moving.”
“You’re not in a hurry, but I am.”
“I’m not here to watch you bicker—I’m here to claim the treasures in that boundary world.”
“If we lose the initiative, will you take responsibility?”
Chu Feng’s gaze was sharp, his words cutting, as he continued.
“This guy’s got some guts, daring to talk to Ouyang Pingzhi like that!”
“And who does he think he is, boasting about taking the treasures in the boundary world?”
The onlookers were puzzled, unable to fathom why this person was so bold.
The Wind Thunder Sword Sect disciples were even more shocked, many of their faces changing.
Looking at Wang Chen now, some even showed pity.
They all thought Wang Chen was as good as dead.
Daring to publicly humiliate Ouyang Pingzhi like this? Wang Chen was doomed.
“You’re really asking for a lesson. If you want to die, I’ll gladly oblige.”
Faced with Chu Feng’s audacity, Ouyang Pingzhi could no longer hold back. His eyes flashed with menace, and he sent a secret transmission, threatening Chu Feng.
“What are you doing, Ouyang Pingzhi?”
Suddenly, a voice filled with authority boomed from above.
It was the Sect Master of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect.
“Song Jinglun, don’t delay everyone’s time, and don’t forget your mission here.”
The voice of the Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain’s Sect Master followed.
Though they understood why the disciples of the two sects were at odds, they didn’t want them to lose the initiative.
In this situation, neither Song Jinglun nor Ouyang Pingzhi, no matter how frustrated, had any choice but to obediently enter the boundary world.
The boundary formation seemed to sense everything.
Though the All-Heaven Sect and other forces had already entered the boundary world, it remained unchanged.
But once all the disciples of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect and Nine Stars Heavenly Mountain entered, the boundary world immediately shifted.
Inside, Chu Feng and the others couldn’t see the mirrored projection outside.
Their view was limited, as the world was simply too vast.
But at that moment, five dazzling lights appeared in the sky above.
The lights shone like five blazing suns.
Upon closer inspection, they were five weapons.
Each weapon was exquisitely crafted and enormous.
Though far away, it was clear each was at least tens of thousands of meters long—true behemoths.
Not only were they massive, but they also exuded a commanding aura, like kings among weapons.
Even from such a distance, their power was palpable.
The brilliant light they emitted came from the weapons themselves.
Most importantly, though each weapon radiated immense power, they all bore imperfections, as if they could be pieced together.
Upon closer examination, it became clear that the five weapons were complementary.
Though each was a complete entity, they could combine into one.
While it was impossible to predict what the final combined weapon would be, its current aura alone filled everyone with anticipation.
At this point, the disciples of the six major forces had taken to the air, eager to seize the weapons.
The weapons were located not only in the central region of the boundary world but also deep in the void.
Though their outlines were visible, the distance was great.
Even with their speed, reaching them would take time.
They had to act quickly, or they’d lose the initiative.
*Boom!*
As the disciples set out, thunder roared in the sky.
Countless purple lightning serpents surged through the void.
Billions of lightning bolts appeared, intertwining to form a vast purple sea of thunder that blotted out the sky.
The thunder sea was terrifyingly powerful. Though it didn’t attack, its destructive force was unmistakable.
Even these proud prodigies felt a chill in their hearts, hesitant to act rashly.
The thunder sea lay beneath the five weapons, acting like a barrier separating the disciples from their prize.
To claim the weapons, they had to cross it.
But with such a terrifying thunder sea, how could they?
“This thing is so ferocious. How are we supposed to get the treasures?”
“Forget us—even a Supreme Realm expert might not manage it!”
Complaints arose among the disciples.
Not only those in the boundary world but also the onlookers watching through the mirrored projection voiced similar sentiments.
They could all see the purple thunder sea was too terrifying. Even a Supreme Realm expert might not withstand its assault. For these juniors, whose strongest were only at the Venerable Realm, with some still at the Martial Immortal Realm, they were utterly fragile before it.
The thunder sea was indeed an insurmountable obstacle.
