"What big words. You don't need many people — I, Bei Tang Yuanliu, can handle you on my own." A young man stepped forward from the Bei Tang Imperial Clan. He was about the same age as
"Haa—!" The young man suddenly let out a shout. King-level martial force erupted from his body, his entire form shimmering with golden light, and he was about to strike at Chu Feng.
Splash—
But in that instant, his foot slipped, and with an undignified flailing motion, he plunged face-first into the seawater — falling flat on his face in front of everyone.
No — he hadn't simply slipped. He had been knocked down. Many of the onlookers had invisibly felt a wave of force descend upon Bei Tang Yuanliu, and it was that force that had sent him tumbling into the sea.
"Next." Just as the crowd was still reeling from shock, Chu Feng spoke up — calmly.
"Chu Feng — it was Chu Feng who did it!!!" Hearing his words, everyone was stunned, because they had all realized: that force moments ago had indeed erupted from within Chu Feng. He had indeed defeated Bei Tang Yuanliu — without even moving a muscle. One strike, and Bei Tang Yuanliu was done.
"Trash — get lost!" Bei Tang Zi Mo gritted his teeth in fury, stepped forward, and kicked Bei Tang Yuanliu out of the crowd. He had thought the chance to punish Chu Feng had finally arrived, but this Bei Tang Yuanliu turned out to be utterly useless. How could he not be angry?
"All ninth-stage Martial Kings — on him! Are we, the Bei Tang Imperial Clan, supposed to be afraid of this Chu Feng?!" Bei Tang Zi Mo bellowed.
At his words, four ninth-stage Martial Kings stepped forward from the crowd — three men and a woman. Each radiated an extraordinary aura. Three of them possessed fighting power that could challenge opponents three stages above their rank, while the woman was slightly weaker, able to challenge two stages above.
But at this moment, each of their foreheads bore a shimmering character for "Emperor." Having released their Imperial-level bloodlines, their fighting power was tremendously enhanced. Combined with the supreme-grade King-level weapons in their hands, their auras were truly terrifying.
It seemed that after witnessing what had happened before, they dared not be careless. They unleashed their full power from the very start, determined to crush Chu Feng.
"Earth Forbidden — Bei Tang Combined Edge Slash!!!"
Suddenly, the three of them swung their King-level weapons in unison. In an instant, the earth trembled and the skies churned with wind and clouds. Not only did all three employ an Earth-level Forbidden Martial Art, but this was a fused technique — and with all three unleashing it simultaneously, its power increased dramatically.
By now, many of the spectators had retreated. After all, while there were plenty of people present, a good number of them were below the Half-Emperor realm, and they feared being caught in the backlash of this martial art.
But Chu Feng, who was less than a hundred meters from the three, stood perfectly still — utterly unperturbed.
"Slash!!!" The three shouted once more and struck at Chu Feng. The three visible slashes merged into a single devastating arc, arriving before Chu Feng in the blink of an eye, ready to cleave him apart. They were actually trying to kill him.
Swish—
But just as the slash was about to hit Chu Feng, a flash of light flickered. Then, like a gentle breeze, it dissipated — failing to harm Chu Feng in the slightest.
At the same time, the two men who had attacked Chu Feng suffered the same fate as Bei Tang Yuanliu before them — their feet slipped, waves surged, and they tumbled into the water one after another.
Only the woman still stood there, unharmed. It wasn't that Chu Feng couldn't deal with her; he had simply shown mercy because she was a woman.
"Kill you."
