The six major factions were allies, and even if there were grudges, they were expected to show restraint.
At the very least, they needed to hold back here.
After all, countless eyes were watching from outside.
But Chu Feng showed no mercy. Every Nine Star Heavenly Mountain disciple who faced him was severely injured.
Especially Zhao Zicheng, who was now covered in wounds, barely clinging to life, looking as if he might die at any moment.
His state was beyond miserable.
Yet even so, Chu Feng had no intention of letting Zhao Zicheng off.
Holding the Wind Thunder Sword, Chu Feng approached Zhao Zicheng step by step.
Everyone knew Chu Feng’s intentions were far from friendly, yet no one dared to intervene.
A fiend—in their eyes, Chu Feng was a fiend. Who would dare stop such a figure?
“You… what more do you want?”
Zhao Zicheng, now extremely weak, spoke with a trembling voice that betrayed his fear.
In his view, even if he were the one punishing this so-called Wang Chen, leaving him in such a state would have been enough.
After all, under so many watchful eyes, going too far wasn’t wise.
But he also sensed that this person before him had no plans to let him go.
“Kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Understand?” Chu Feng said to him.
“What do you mean?” Zhao Zicheng’s eyes were filled with confusion and growing unease.
Chu Feng gave a cold smile.
Whoosh—
The next moment, a bolt of lightning shot from Chu Feng’s hand, heading straight for Zhao Zicheng.
By the time people realised what was happening, they saw that the lightning was the Wind Thunder Sword.
But now, the sword had left Chu Feng’s hand and pierced Zhao Zicheng’s body.
The sword not only stabbed through his flesh but struck his dantian.
“Aaah—”
A heart-wrenching scream erupted from Zhao Zicheng, echoing through the heavens.
The sound wasn’t just pain—it was filled with despair, confusion, and panic.
After all, he could feel his cultivation rapidly draining away.
“Wang Chen, are you insane? You’ll cripple his cultivation like this!”
At that moment, a Wind Thunder Sword Sect disciple spoke up.
This disciple, also a Second-Rank Venerable, had just been defeated by Zhao Zicheng.
But he knew Wang Chen shouldn’t do this, as the major figures outside could see everything happening inside.
His reprimand wasn’t out of concern for Wang Chen but fear that Wang Chen’s actions would bring trouble to the Wind Thunder Sword Sect.
“Shut up.”
Suddenly, Chu Feng waved his arm, and the Wind Thunder Sword that had pierced Zhao Zicheng flew back, landing in front of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect disciple.
This action terrified the disciple.
Though he was also a Second-Rank Venerable, Chu Feng’s attack had been too fast.
By the time he reacted, the Wind Thunder Sword was already in front of him.
This was a warning!!!
“Listen carefully. I’m not the Wang Chen you think I am.”
“Speak to me with respect. Crippling cultivation is just a warning. If you keep acting shamelessly, I won’t hesitate to take your lives.”
Chu Feng’s tone was icy, his gaze colder still.
Even the air turned chillingly oppressive, making everyone realise Chu Feng wasn’t joking—he meant what he said.
“Spare us, spare us!”
“We meant no offense, just trying to scare you. For the sake of our alliance, give us a chance!”
Suddenly, the Nine Star Heavenly Mountain disciples began begging for mercy.
They were truly afraid, especially since they had insulted Chu Feng earlier.
They feared ending up like Zhao Zicheng.
But faced with their pleas, Chu Feng’s icy expression broke into a smile. “If you’d acted like this earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered.”
Chu Feng didn’t continue to make things difficult for the Nine Star Heavenly Mountain disciples.
Yet, despite his now innocent, harmless smile, after witnessing his actions, everyone had a new perspective on him.
The disciples of both the Wind Thunder Sword Sect and Nine Star Heavenly Mountain looked at Chu Feng differently.
Beyond shock, there was mostly fear.
Even Bai Lulu’s gaze toward Chu Feng had changed.
Unlike others, her look held no fear—more astonishment and other emotions.
Bai Lulu had known Wang Chen for a long time.
After all, Wang Chen had confessed to her multiple times, pursuing her aggressively.
But Bai Lulu not only disliked him, she found him repulsive.
The reason was that she knew Wang Chen was usually arrogant but actually a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
That was the kind of person Bai Lulu despised most.
Yet now, Wang Chen made her see him in a new light.
She even felt she might have deeply misunderstood him.
Such a drastic change made her gaze toward Wang Chen complex.
Of course, she didn’t know that the person before her wasn’t Wang Chen.
It was Chu Feng, disguised.
“Miss Bai, step back. I’m going to take this item.”
Chu Feng walked up to Bai Lulu.
After saying this, he passed by her and approached the formation.
“Senior Brother Wang, wait a moment.”
Bai Lulu spoke to stop him, wanting to tell him that he couldn’t break the formation alone. It required the combined effort of their fellow disciples, and if Wang Chen acted recklessly, the formation might harm him.
But after she spoke, she saw Chu Feng’s hand pass through the barrier formation, effortlessly retrieving the item inside.
This scene left Bai Lulu dumbfounded.
The other disciples were equally stunned.
Especially the Wind Thunder Sword Sect disciples—they couldn’t believe what they had just seen.
After all, that formation had taken them a long time to even attempt to break.
More importantly, they knew the protective formation was formidable. It was impossible to simply pass through it to take the item inside.
The only way was to break the formation.
Yet now, Wang Chen had so easily retrieved the treasure within.
This was beyond their comprehension.
“Junior Sister Bai, what’s wrong?”
Chu Feng turned back to look at Bai Lulu.
While looking at her, he casually stored the treasure.
Faced with this, Bai Lulu was speechless, unsure of what to say.
She had called out to Wang Chen to warn him not to attempt breaking the formation alone.
But now, Wang Chen had already taken the item from the formation. What more could she say?
