“I never thought there could be such a terrifying genius in this world.”
“Could this be the legendary truth that there is always a sky beyond the sky, and a person beyond a person?”
Everyone stared at Chu Feng, their hearts trembling.
Among the younger generation especially, countless admiring gazes fell upon him.
Setting cultivation aside, just speaking of techniques and battle power, no one present had ever seen anyone stronger than Chu Feng.
Zhao Batian, the genius in everyone’s eyes, was completely no match for him.
Chu Feng was no longer merely a genius.
He was a monster among geniuses, an existence that surpassed limits and shattered common understanding.
Everyone could see that Zhao Batian had already lost.
Yet Chu Feng still hovered in the void, staring down at Zhao Batian with distinctly hostile eyes.
“Benefactor, let it go.”
“Let us leave.”
Suddenly, a voice rang out. It was Long Xiaoxiao.
Long Xiaoxiao understood Chu Feng to some extent. She knew he had no intention of letting matters rest.
But she also knew that the Zhao family was backed by the Nine Souls Sacred Clan, and she did not want Chu Feng to provoke them.
In fact, before Long Xiaoxiao spoke, many people had already tried to persuade Chu Feng secretly through voice transmission, urging him not to make things difficult for Zhao Batian.
Among them were the Supreme Elders of the Cloudy Sky Immortal Sect, the Yu Heavenly Clan Chief, and even the Lord of the Monstrous Demon Palace.
The one who had tried to dissuade Chu Feng the most, however, was Long Xiaoxiao’s father, the Long Clan Chief.
Yet Chu Feng had ignored all of them.
In his view, those who had only stood by and watched had no right to advise him.
Long Xiaoxiao was different. She was the person directly involved.
When she spoke, Chu Feng was moved.
After a brief moment of thought, he turned around, stepped through the air, and walked towards her.
He was prepared to spare Zhao Batian.
Swish!
But before Chu Feng could reach Long Xiaoxiao, a surge of killing intent struck from behind.
It was Zhao Batian. The moment Chu Feng turned, Zhao Batian had unleashed a martial technique against him.
Chu Feng, however, had been on guard. He spun back, swung his weapon, and blocked the deadly strike.
At that moment, rage burned inside Chu Feng, yet his expression remained utterly cold.
And it was precisely this version of Chu Feng that felt most terrifying.
“You could have lived.”
“But now, you must die.”
As Chu Feng spoke, killing intent poured out, icy and piercing.
“This brat.”
“So terrifying.”
The instant they felt that killing intent, not only did the younger generation tremble with fear, even the older generation powerhouses frowned deeply.
This was no ordinary killing intent.
It chilled the soul.
Very few people could possess such killing intent.
Even among demonic cultivators, few could release something so dreadful.
“Kill me? Do you have the ability?”
“Today, someone will indeed die, but it will never be me, Zhao Batian. It will be you, you insolent trash!!!”
Zhao Batian roared in fury.
At the same time, overwhelming killing intent exploded from his body.
His killing intent surged like invisible giant waves, layer upon layer, ferocious and wild.
Yet before Chu Feng’s killing intent, Zhao Batian’s seemed utterly insignificant no matter how fiercely it raged.
It felt like the difference between a stray dog and a fierce tiger.
If Zhao Batian’s killing intent was the barking of a stray dog, then Chu Feng’s was the stare of a tiger.
Zhao Batian was simply no match for Chu Feng.
What meaning was there in his furious roars now?
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosive sound came from Zhao Batian’s body.
The source was blood-red flames. Those blood-red flames gushed out from within him like molten lava erupting from a volcano.
At the same moment, his eyes turned blood-red, his skin turned blood-red, his muscles swelled enormously, and his entire body expanded.
He had transformed into a blood-red monster.
Under this state, his aura became several times more ferocious than before.
His battle power had multiplied in an instant.
“Forbidden medicine. What a powerful forbidden medicine.”
Everyone present recognised at a glance why Zhao Batian had changed so dramatically.
He had taken forbidden medicine, and extremely potent forbidden medicine at that.
“Brother, you’ve gone mad. Why do this?”
Seeing the situation, Zhao Yuzhuo was filled with worry.
He knew what that forbidden medicine was, and he knew the price Zhao Batian would pay for using it.
“No woman I, Zhao Batian, have set my eyes on can be taken away by anyone.”
“Today, I will personally defeat this trash.”
As Zhao Batian spoke, purple flames surged from his body.
He gripped his blade tightly with both hands and slashed towards Chu Feng.
“Fifth Rank Venerable Taboo, Blazing Purple Flame!!!”
As the blade fell, vast purple flames roared forth like a tsunami, surging from the ground to engulf Chu Feng.
Crackle!
Chu Feng said nothing, but blue lightning burst from his body.
It was the Yu Heavenly Clan’s clan-protecting martial technique, Fifth Rank Venerable Taboo, Heavenly Thunder Soul.
The two martial techniques collided, like two world-destroying divine beasts locked in combat.
The might was heaven-shaking, the destructive force immense. Even the void was torn apart, and the air itself was incinerated.
At first glance, they appeared evenly matched.
But soon, people realised the blue lightning was more domineering.
It began to split apart the endless purple flames pouring forth.
“Still not enough, even after taking such powerful forbidden medicine.”
“He is still no match for the opponent.”
The experts present could already tell that in this clash of martial techniques, Chu Feng remained superior.
