Chu Feng’s wrist swept across his Cosmos Sack, and a blue long sword appeared in his hand.
This was a Half-Step Venerable Armament, the Blue Jade Mandarin Sword.
Chu Feng gripped the Blue Jade Mandarin Sword with both hands.
After making this motion, Chu Feng turned his gaze towards the direction from which the aura was approaching.
That gaze carried the weight of facing a formidable enemy.
“This movement?”
Compared to Chu Feng’s grave expression, Sheng Guang Jin’an was more interested in the action Chu Feng had just taken.
No power was released from Chu Feng’s body.
Yet in Sheng Guang Jin’an’s eyes, this simple movement was anything but ordinary.
Vaguely, he sensed that Chu Feng was about to unleash something extraordinary.
He had no evidence, not even a proper guess. It was pure instinct.
But his instincts had always been exceptionally sharp.
After all, they were the instincts of a seasoned martial cultivator.
However, only Sheng Guang Jin’an noticed all of this.
Everyone else was still immersed in the shock of Chu Feng having crippled Hun Yong, completely missing the change in Chu Feng’s demeanour.
“Wahhahaha!”
Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter rang out.
The laughter turned into sound waves that swept forward, shattering mountains and rocks, shaking the earth and sky. The trees covering the ground were uprooted and hurled thousands of metres into the air by the sonic blast.
Soon, the owner of the laughter appeared in everyone’s sight.
“Hun Lei? How did he end up like this?”
The newcomer was indeed Hun Lei, yet when people saw his condition, curiosity filled their hearts.
They wanted to know what Hun Lei had gone through.
The current Hun Lei was charred black all over. Even the clothes forged from special treasures had been almost completely burned away, leaving only a few scraps of cloth barely covering his private areas.
His skin had been scorched into a crispy state.
As he drew nearer, people could even smell the scent of roasted meat, but that scent was coming from Hun Lei himself.
“You have a tough life.”
Chu Feng looked at Hun Lei and spoke.
“Luckily, the master of Overlord Star Manor gave me a secret method that protected me from being fully consumed by that refining power.”
“Still, locking me inside caused me no small amount of suffering.”
“But since I’m still alive, you won’t be leaving here today.”
Hun Lei spoke to Chu Feng.
As soon as his words left his mouth, everyone realised.
So Hun Lei’s current state was also Chu Feng’s doing.
“Hun Lei, that bastard shattered my dantian! He crippled my cultivation!!!”
“Quickly avenge me, avenge me!!!”
Suddenly, a wail exploded forth. It was Hun Yong.
Hun Lei had arrived in a fury and truly hadn’t noticed Hun Yong’s condition at first.
When he saw the miserable state Hun Yong was in, the rage in his heart surged like boiling lava, completely beyond control.
“I know you have a powerful background.”
“But since you dared to touch my brother, I don’t care who you are. You are going to die.”
“Today, even if the king of heaven himself came, I would still kill you!!!”
As Hun Lei roared, a silver greatsword appeared in his hand. It was also a Half-Step Venerable Armament.
Yet from within that Half-Step Venerable silver blade, golden radiance surged outward.
When the greatsword slashed down, the golden light poured forth like a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses charging together.
That was a martial skill, a Venerable Taboo martial skill!!!
“Hmph!!!”
However, faced with that Venerable Taboo martial skill, Chu Feng merely stepped forward and stamped down in mid-air.
Boom!
Invisible martial power materialised into something tangible and crashed against the dazzling golden martial skill.
Logically speaking, martial power was merely the most basic force. A martial skill elevated that power, and the might of a Venerable Taboo martial skill needed no further explanation.
Yet when these two utterly unequal forces collided, neither gained the upper hand.
Hun Lei, this peerless genius, had his ferocious strike neutralised by a single stomp from Chu Feng.
“So strong. This fellow… is just too powerful, isn’t he?”
Seeing this scene, the crowd looked at Chu Feng with complicated emotions they couldn’t quite describe.
After all, in their eyes, Hun Yong and Hun Lei were the strongest geniuses of this world, monsters among the younger generation.
For many people, they had never seen any junior more outstanding than Hun Yong and Hun Lei.
Yet today, the two most gifted juniors of this world…
One had been defeated in a single blow and had his cultivation crippled.
The other clearly wasn’t even on the same level of combat strength as Chu Feng.
“Something’s wrong. Hun Lei shouldn’t be this weak. He’s injured. Those burns are affecting him.”
“I’ve seen Hun Lei’s power before. This isn’t his true strength. It must be the injuries holding him back.”
Some sharp-eyed individuals spoke up in Hun Lei’s defence.
They were actually correct. Hun Lei’s combat strength was by no means weak. Although it fell short of Chu Feng’s, it shouldn’t have been so feeble that his Venerable Taboo martial skill could be broken by pure martial power.
The reason for the current situation was precisely those injuries.
Swish swish swish!
Suddenly, Chu Feng attacked again.
The Blue Jade Mandarin Sword in his hand swung repeatedly. With each swing, a stream of sword qi shot out.
The sword qi expanded in mid-air, transforming into enormous waves of martial power tens of thousands of metres tall, capable of slicing through clouds above and splitting the earth below.
Attack after attack came, each wave stronger than the last, pressing relentlessly towards Hun Lei.
“There’s no mistake. He’s definitely holding back and deliberately not using martial skills.”
“Just what kind of technique are you preparing? It’s really making one anticipate.”
Sheng Guang Jin’an’s gaze remained fixed on Chu Feng.
Normally, Chu Feng could have pressed his advantage and unleashed martial skills.
Yet he did not. He continued to attack with the simplest martial power.
In Sheng Guang Jin’an’s view, there was only one reason for Chu Feng to act this way.
It wasn’t that he didn’t understand the principle of pursuing a routed enemy. Rather, an even more terrifying technique was brewing inside his body.
That technique was still building up, so he could not use any other martial skills. Doing so would interrupt it.
That was why Sheng Guang Jin’an was so full of expectation.
