“Shura?”
Upon seeing Chu Feng, many people’s expressions shifted.
By now, many in attendance recognised Chu Feng.
After all, in the battle at the All Heavens Sect, the name Shura had become renowned.
However, the three men clearly did not know Chu Feng.
Yet, the moment they saw him, their eyes still flashed with surprise.
The reason was that Chu Feng was walking through the air, moving slowly.
It must be noted that the pressure released by the old man was extremely formidable.
Even Zhao Hong struggled to move, which spoke to the old man’s strength.
But Chu Feng was moving.
Though his steps were laborious, he was moving nonetheless.
This was why the three men were astonished.
“Incredible. At such a young age, he’s already a Dragon Mark Saint Cloak.”
“To think that in this insignificant place, there’d be a junior with such talent.”
“This truly broadens my horizons.”
After Chu Feng appeared, even the old man in the war chariot let out an astonished voice.
As the one releasing the pressure, he knew well that his pressure was nearly impossible to resist with martial power alone, as it specifically targeted martial cultivators.
However, his pressure did not target spiritists.
Thus, if one’s spirit techniques were strong enough, they could indeed resist his pressure.
But it required at least a Dragon Mark Saint Cloak spiritist to barely withstand it.
So, although Chu Feng hadn’t unleashed his spirit power, the old man, based on experience, deduced that Chu Feng was a Dragon Mark Saint Cloak spiritist.
“A Dragon Mark Saint Cloak spiritist?”
At the old man’s words, the three men finally understood why Chu Feng could resist the pressure.
This young man was a powerful spiritist.
Thus, their gazes toward Chu Feng changed, and they began to reassess him.
However, the leader’s gaze was notably hostile.
It was a look of jealousy.
That a genius like this appeared in a place he deemed insignificant made him deeply displeased.
“If she doesn’t want to go with you, you shouldn’t take her.”
Chu Feng said sternly.
Though his steps were strained, under everyone’s watchful eyes, he slowly approached the three men.
“You know her, it seems?”
“Fine, if you’re capable, come and take her from me.”
The man’s words dripped with disdain.
But they were also laced with killing intent.
“I’ll go with you.”
Seeing the situation turn sour, Yin Zhuanghong quickly walked toward the war chariot.
But just as she stepped forward, the man forcibly pulled her back.
“Oh, starting to protect her now?”
“It seems your relationship isn’t ordinary.”
The man looked at Yin Zhuanghong as he spoke.
Then, he turned his gaze to Chu Feng, his eyes growing colder. “Trash, come here. If you can take her from me, we won’t make things difficult for you today.”
“Shura, don’t come over. I’ve decided to go with them.”
Sensing the man’s ill intentions, Yin Zhuanghong shouted at Chu Feng.
“Shura, is that your name?”
“A grand name, but I wonder if your courage matches it.” The man taunted Chu Feng.
“Shura, go back. This is my decision, not their coercion.”
“I don’t belong here anyway. I want to uncover my origins.”
“I was just angry earlier, so I refused them.”
“But now I’ve decided. I’m going with them to find out about my past.”
“I believe they won’t harm me. I’ll come back if I get the chance.”
Yin Zhuanghong continued to dissuade him, even lying against her heart to stop Chu Feng.
“Shura, you’re no match for them. Don’t be reckless. Go back.”
At the same time, numerous secret transmissions reached Chu Feng’s ears.
They were pleas from Han Xiu and others.
But no matter how they urged, Chu Feng didn’t stop approaching the man.
Finally, Chu Feng stood before the man and Yin Zhuanghong.
Their eyes locked.
Chu Feng could feel the icy coldness in the man’s gaze.
It was a threat, a warning, telling Chu Feng to behave.
If he dared to act, his fate would be dire.
Knowing this, Chu Feng gave a faint smile.
Then, he reached out toward Yin Zhuanghong.
“Don’t know when to quit.”
The man sneered mockingly at Chu Feng’s action.
He raised his hand and struck Chu Feng’s dantian with a palm.
Boom!
Ugh—
The strike sent Chu Feng spitting blood, his body flying back like an arrow, falling from the sky and crashing into the ground.
The immense force shattered the rocks on the surface.
Amid the cracking sounds, it wasn’t just stones breaking but Chu Feng’s bones as well.
With one palm, the man had severely injured Chu Feng.
Yet, even so, the man had no intention of sparing him.
He let go of Yin Zhuanghong, descended through the air, and walked toward Chu Feng.
With his cultivation, that single palm could have killed Chu Feng.
But he hadn’t done so.
It wasn’t mercy; he didn’t want Chu Feng to die quickly.
He wanted to torment him slowly.
“Lian Xi, enough.”
At that moment, the old man’s voice rang out again.
Hearing this, the man halted.
He was clearly still unsatisfied, but due to the old man’s authority, he had to stop.
Still unwilling, he glared viciously at Chu Feng.
“Ant.”
With that word, he turned, taking Yin Zhuanghong into the war chariot.
Once they entered, the chariot turned and headed back the way it came.
The chariot soon vanished into the distant horizon.
As it disappeared, the pressure enveloping the area dissipated.
“Shura, are you alright?”
Once the pressure lifted, Han Xiu, Zhao Hong, and the elders of the Red Cloak Holy Land rushed to Chu Feng’s side.
“I’m fine, just superficial wounds.”
Chu Feng said with a smile.
“Superficial wounds? That doesn’t look like it.”
“That guy’s palm hit your dantian.”
“Let me check.”
As Zhao Hong spoke, she examined Chu Feng’s injuries.
“It’s really fine. I’m not that fragile.”
Chu Feng said, still smiling.
Zhao Hong soon breathed a sigh of relief.
She found that Chu Feng wasn’t pretending to be strong. Though the man’s attack had struck his dantian, it was unharmed.
Chu Feng had used a spirit formation to protect his dantian in advance.
“Why did you deliberately get yourself beaten?”
“If someone hadn’t stopped him, that guy would’ve tortured you to death.”
Zhao Hong looked at Chu Feng, puzzled.
In her impression, while Chu Feng would risk his life for friends, he wasn’t recklessly foolish.
In that situation, there was no need to act.
Though those people were overbearing, they were relatively polite to Yin Zhuanghong.
It was clear that even if she went with them, she wouldn’t be in danger.
Chu Feng’s intervention wasn’t wise.
“It’s fine. I saw that girl didn’t want to go, so I tried to stop them.”
“But sadly, I’m too weak.”
Chu Feng said with a bitter smile.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Hong and the others were filled with sympathy.
But they didn’t know that, despite his bitter smile, Chu Feng was secretly delighted.
Because he had succeeded.
