The instant Chu Feng’s weapon pierced through Zhao Batian’s skull, the once-noisy heavens and earth suddenly fell silent.
No one had expected Chu Feng to actually kill Zhao Batian.
That was the person Zhao Yuzhuo cared for most.
By killing Zhao Batian, Chu Feng had offended Zhao Yuzhuo.
And offending Zhao Yuzhuo meant offending the Nine Souls Sacred Clan.
“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”
As expected, Zhao Yuzhuo flew into a violent rage.
He drew his weapon, surged with boundless killing intent, and charged roaring towards Chu Feng.
“Scram.”
Yet faced with the oncoming Zhao Yuzhuo, Chu Feng merely flicked his sleeve. Zhao Yuzhuo was sent flying backwards, and when he hit the ground, blood gushed from his mouth like a fountain.
With a casual strike, Chu Feng had inflicted serious injuries on Zhao Yuzhuo.
Though Zhao Yuzhuo was also a martial cultivation genius among the younger generation, his strength fell far short of Zhao Batian’s. He was simply no match for Chu Feng.
“Do you want to die too?”
Chu Feng looked at Zhao Yuzhuo and spoke coldly.
Despite his injuries, Zhao Yuzhuo’s eyes remained blood-red, overflowing with murderous intent.
“Black and White Asuras, get out here!”
Zhao Yuzhuo struggled to sit up, raised his head to the sky, and let out a furious roar.
“The Black and White Asuras? Are the Black and White Asuras really here?”
“As expected, someone has been protecting Zhao Yuzhuo from the shadows.”
“And it turns out to be the Black and White Asuras.”
Zhao Yuzhuo’s shout confirmed one thing for everyone.
People had long speculated whether Zhao Yuzhuo had protectors.
Some believed a hidden expert must be guarding him.
But no one knew who it was.
Others thought he had no protector at all, that he relied solely on his close relationship with the princess of the Nine Souls Sacred Clan to make others fear touching him.
Now, however, Zhao Yuzhuo’s roar revealed the truth.
He did have protectors, and many present had heard of the infamous Black and White Asuras.
These two were no ordinary figures. They were extremely powerful and utterly ruthless.
“This is bad. Zhao Yuzhuo really was protected. Young friend Chu Feng is in danger now.”
At that moment, the Long Clan Chief and others began to worry for Chu Feng.
The reason they themselves had never dared to act against Zhao Yuzhuo was precisely their fear of hidden experts.
Now that their fears were confirmed, they naturally worried for Chu Feng’s safety.
For that expert might well be someone even they could not defeat.
Yet, to everyone’s surprise, even after Zhao Yuzhuo called out, the Black and White Asuras did not appear immediately.
“Black and White Asuras, are you deaf? You watched my brother die at this bastard’s hands and did nothing. Now I’m calling you and you still don’t show yourselves. Do you want to die?”
Zhao Yuzhuo grew even more furious. His anger was directed not only at Chu Feng, but also at the Black and White Asuras.
He was enraged that they had stood by while his brother was killed.
Even after he called them, they still refused to show themselves.
But no matter how furious Zhao Yuzhuo became, the Black and White Asuras never appeared.
“What’s going on?”
“Something seems off. If the Black and White Asuras were truly tasked with protecting Zhao Yuzhuo, they should also have protected Zhao Batian.”
“Why did they watch Zhao Batian die?”
“And now, even when Zhao Yuzhuo calls, they still don’t appear.”
Under these circumstances, many present also felt something was strange.
Swish.
While everyone was puzzled, Chu Feng swept his hand across his Cosmos Sack. Then, with two thuds, he threw two objects in front of Zhao Yuzhuo.
They were two corpses.
Upon seeing them, Zhao Yuzhuo’s expression changed drastically once more.
His eyes widened, the rage gone, replaced entirely by fear.
“Could those be…?”
At the same time, many people present looked at the corpses and their faces paled.
They recognised the bodies. They were indeed the Black and White Asuras.
Not only were the Asuras dead, but they had died horribly.
“Now do you understand why they didn’t save your brother?”
Chu Feng asked Zhao Yuzhuo.
“You… you killed them?”
“No, impossible. You couldn’t possibly have killed them.”
“Who was it? Who did this?”
When Zhao Yuzhuo spoke again, all his former arrogance had vanished. Even his voice trembled.
He believed that no matter how strong Chu Feng was, he could not have killed the Black and White Asuras.
Yet the Asuras were undeniably dead.
That left only one possibility. Chu Feng had a powerful backer.
No wonder this fellow dared to act so arrogantly despite knowing his identity and background.
So he really did have formidable support.
“Heh…”
Chu Feng did not answer. He only gave a cold laugh.
He naturally knew how the Black and White Asuras had died.
All their treasures had already been taken by Chu Feng. As for why he had also stored their corpses, it was not to bury them.
Chu Feng had thought there might be other valuables on their bodies.
Since he had no time to check then, he stored the corpses to examine later.
To his disappointment, however, the Black and White Asuras carried nothing else of value.
Still, they had served a purpose: extinguishing Zhao Yuzhuo’s arrogance.
Seeing Zhao Yuzhuo now, his face filled with terror and bewilderment, Chu Feng felt that keeping the corpses had been a wise decision after all.
“You even dare to touch my people.”
“You truly have some nerve!!!”
At that moment, a furious shout exploded out of nowhere.
It was a woman’s voice, beautiful yet resounding like thunder, causing both the void and the earth to tremble.
Wah!
Along with that furious shout, an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky.
The pressure bore down directly on Chu Feng. He could not resist at all and was forced flat onto the ground.
Everyone present could feel the terror of that pressure, apart from Chu Feng himself.
It was a force that even Martial Venerable experts like the Long Clan Chief could not withstand.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
Immediately after, clouds churned in the void above, space twisted, and a colossal object emerged.
It was an enormous warship.
Upon the warship, massive banners fluttered in the wind.
The moment people saw those banners, they hurriedly knelt and performed great kneeling salutes.
“This is bad.”
Figures such as the Long Clan Chief and the Yu Heavenly Clan Chief secretly sighed that things had taken a turn for the worse.
Because emblazoned on those banners in huge characters were four words:
Nine Souls Sacred Clan!!!
