At this moment, everyone was shocked to discover that although
Chu Feng remained as composed as ever — calm, incomparably calm, as if he didn't even know what fear was.
"Could it be that this kid doesn't know what it means to be afraid?" Chu Feng's composure was, in itself, terrifying.
Even the various sect leaders had begun to realize the true extent of Chu Feng's strength — not in terms of raw power, but in terms of his mind.
In this very moment, these sect leaders finally understood just how frightening this young man named Chu Feng truly was.
Setting aside his combat strength for the moment, his mental fortitude alone was absolutely unmatched among his peers.
"Could Chu Feng really have the confidence to win?" At this point, many people had their hearts in their throats, pounding furiously. None of them were sure whether Chu Feng could win, yet all of them hoped that he would.
Even though the Nine Forces were in competition with one another, and if one faction produced a formidable figure it could upset the balance —
Right now, every one of the eight factions present, from the sect leaders down to the disciples, was hoping Chu Feng would prevail.
Because Qin Wentian practiced a demonic art, violated forbidden taboos, and deserved to be executed — he was the side of evil.
And Chu Feng represented the Nine Forces, which meant he represented the side of justice.
The Nine Forces, with the exception of the Curse Earth Gate, were all orthodox sects that considered themselves champions of righteousness, whose sacred duty was to vanquish demons and defend the righteous path. And so, every one of them supported Chu Feng.
ROAAAR—
Suddenly, the bizarre howls emanating from within the blood-red aura grew more and more piercing. The horrifying creatures within that crimson mist had begun to merge and transform.
If before they had looked pitiful — like homeless, wandering spirits —
Then now they looked utterly terrifying, like malevolent souls come to claim one's life.
And at this moment, they were lunging at Chu Feng one after another, claws and fangs bared, poised to tear him to shreds.
CLICK-CLICK-CLICK—
Seeing this, the previously still Chu Feng's hands began to move with blinding speed. Simultaneously, a golden barrier materialized, taking the form of a massive golden bell that enveloped him within.
ROAR—
A blood-red monster was the first to reach Chu Feng. A claw ten times the size of his head swept toward him in a streak of crimson light.
If Chu Feng were struck unguarded, the result would not merely be decapitation — his entire head would simply cease to exist.
CLANG—
But the claw struck the golden bell instead. The bell shuddered, emitting both a deafening ring and a wave of golden light.
That golden wave spread outward like a whirlpool, and wherever it passed, the monsters screamed in agony, shattering to pieces until not even dust remained.
But the monsters seemed to be endless — destroy one wave, and another surged forward, ceaselessly pressing in on Chu Feng.
Still, no matter how many there were, they could not breach the golden bell. Chu Feng stood within it, completely unharmed, as though he could remain like this for a lifetime without suffering a single injury.
"I want you dead — you MUST die!" Qin Wentian roared in fury. The blood-red monsters began to flow backward, rushing toward Qin Wentian's body.
And under this transformation, his body began to change once more. Not only did his skin turn a deep crimson, but his frame began to swell.
One meter. Two meters. Three meters. Ten meters. A hundred meters…
In the blink of an eye, Qin Wentian had become a colossal, hundred-meter-tall blood-red giant.
He stood between heaven and earth, demonic energy soaring into the sky. In this form, he was no longer human, nor demon beast — he was a demon.
His killing intent poured forth without the slightest concealment, sending chills through the hearts of countless disciples present. Many trembled in fear, and the more timid female disciples fainted on the spot.
This was the killing intent that could only be forged through the slaughter of innumerable lives — a massacre incarnate, a true demon.
"This creature is nothing but a beast — he must be destroyed!" the head of the Ten Thousand Flower Academy ground her teeth in fury, desperate to eliminate Qin Wentian.
