"Aagh~~~~~"
Chu Feng's palm came crashing down, and Lei Yao let out a miserable scream. But after the scream, his eyes shut, his body listed to the side, and he lost his ability to stay airborne, plummeting from the sky.
"Senior Brother Lei Yao!"
Seeing this scene, every member of the Canxing Observatory cried out in alarm, because they could sense that although Lei Yao's body was still whole, his aura had vanished entirely. He was dead — killed by that single palm from Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, you beast!"
At that moment, many members of the Canxing Observatory shot into the air, and Yuan Qing personally caught Lei Yao's falling corpse. But upon receiving the body, their fury only grew fiercer — teeth ground together in rage, and dense killing intent blazed in their eyes.
Though Chu Feng had left Lei Yao with an intact exterior, he had in truth devoured everything within. Not a shred of divine sense remained — even the origin essence had been consumed without a trace. Lei Yao's death was as thorough as death could be.
"Chu Feng, you're not even human! Even in a life-and-death battle, fine — you won, and you could have killed Senior Brother Lei Yao. But why did you have to devour his origin essence? Do you have no shred of fellowship between sect brothers left?" After carefully placing Lei Yao's body on the ground, Yuan Qing sprang to his feet and pointed at Chu Feng, cursing at the top of his lungs.
"What? Chu Feng didn't just kill Lei Yao — he refined his origin essence too?" Yuan Qing's voice was thunderously loud, audible for miles in every direction.
Upon hearing this, many onlookers couldn't help but draw sharp breaths, because what Chu Feng had done was truly going too far.
True, the life-and-death waiver had been signed — the victor held the vanquished's life and death in his hands — but devouring the opponent's origin essence on top of that was extraordinarily heartless.
Yet beyond the fury of the Canxing Observatory's members, the rest of the crowd was merely stunned, and even fearful.
They marveled at Chu Feng's audacity — the man dared to think it and dared to do it, his courage practically defying the heavens.
They feared the ruthlessness behind his actions. By now, everything Chu Feng had done was steeped not only in reckless daring but in a savage fearlessness that knew no bounds.
A Chu Feng like this naturally made many people wary, and they silently resolved that unless absolutely cornered, it was best not to make an enemy of him — for such an opponent was simply too terrifying.
"Chu Feng, you truly are a beast! Not sparing Senior Brother Lei Yao was one thing, but you went and refined his origin essence too? Do you truly have no regard whatsoever for fellowship between sect brothers?" While the spectators merely marveled, the Canxing Observatory's disciples were not about to let this slide. More and more of them stepped forward, denouncing Chu Feng.
"Fellowship between sect brothers? Are you kidding me? When Lei Yao ordered the Dragon Tiger Section to trample my Asura Section into the ground, did he think about fellowship? When he declared over and over that he would take my head, did he think about fellowship?"
"And you dare talk to me about fellowship? People like you don't deserve to." Chu Feng snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over the Canxing Observatory's disciples with undisguised contempt and derision.
"Beast! You truly are a beast — not only are you ruthless in action, but you dare to spout lies and slander Senior Brother Lei Yao! I've never seen anyone like you. Someone like you doesn't deserve to be a disciple of Greenwood Mountain!"
"I implore the elders to expel Chu Feng from Greenwood Mountain! Having someone like this as a fellow disciple is far too terrifying — he's not a fellow disciple at all, he's a beast! I refuse to be associated with such a person! I beg the elders to severely punish Chu Feng and drive him from Greenwood Mountain!" Yuan Qing raised his fist high and shouted.
"That's right! Chu Feng is heartless beyond compare, worse than pigs and dogs! We refuse to associate with such a person! We implore the elders — severely punish Chu Feng and expel him from Greenwood Mountain!"
