"Chu Feng — it's actually him? He actually dares to come back?"
Over the past days, Chu Feng's name had already resounded throughout and beyond the Azure Dragon Sect. Even nearby sects had heard of his reputation.
After all, Gong Luyun's strength could be considered top-tier. Even many Core Disciples from first-rate sects didn't dare offend him. So when word spread that someone had challenged Gong Luyun, it had indeed caused quite a stir.
Because of this, many busybodies were eager to know what Chu Feng looked like. Some enterprising souls had even drawn portraits of Chu Feng and put them up for sale. By now, practically no one in the Azure Dragon Sect didn't know who Chu Feng was or what he looked like.
But what shocked people most at this moment was that Chu Feng actually dared to show his face in the Azure Dragon Sect again. And when Chu Feng made his next move, these people were utterly stunned.
Chu Feng grabbed the Dark Iron Sword from the man's hand with a single snatch, then, turning his back to him, thrust it violently backward. Blood sprayed as the blade pierced through the man's back and into his dantian.
"Ahhhhh!"
The member let out a wretched scream, then collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball, completely motionless. In that moment, only two words filled his mind — it's over.
As the spiritual energy inside his dantian rapidly dissipated outward, no matter how desperately he tried to gather it, he couldn't stop the flow. He knew then that his cultivation had been crippled. Everything he had painstakingly built through years of training had been reduced to nothing.
"You — you..."
Of all who witnessed this scene, none were more shocked than the other Sword Dao Alliance members. Their faces turned ashen, and their eyes were filled with fear as they stared at Chu Feng.
"Weren't you all curious about how I'd deal with you? Well, now I'll show you exactly how Chu Feng handles people like you."
Chu Feng's expression was ice-cold. The Dark Iron Sword in his hand trembled as he thrust it several more times at the remaining members. Before they could even react, a flash of cold light passed through, and each of them felt a sharp pain in their dantian.
Looking down in horror, they all let out miserable howls and crumpled to the ground. Their dantians had been pierced, spiritual energy was leaking out — years of hard-earned cultivation, gone in an instant.
"Heavens! That Chu Feng actually crippled the Sword Dao Alliance members' cultivation? Isn't that going too far?"
The onlookers cried out in astonishment, all thinking Chu Feng was far too reckless. The sect rules explicitly forbade killing fellow disciples and crippling their cultivation. For this, Chu Feng would surely face severe punishment.
Even Chu Cheng and Chu Zhen felt a bit panicked. Although they knew that, given Chu Feng's temperament, he would certainly take revenge on those who had bullied them, they never expected him to go this far — actually destroying their cultivation.
"Chu Cheng, Chu Zhen — are all the Chu Family members still in the Azure Dragon Sect?" Chu Feng ignored the stares of the crowd and looked toward the Cheng-Zhen brothers, who were struggling to their feet.
"To avoid further bullying, Chu Xue and the rest of the family returned to the Chu Family estate long ago. Big Brother Chu Wei wanted Sister Chu Yue to leave too, but she absolutely refused. She said she'd stay here and wait for you to come back and deliver justice for us."
"So right now, besides us two brothers, Sister Chu Yue and Big Brother Chu Wei are both still here."
"But just this morning, Big Brother Chu Wei was beaten badly by them — his arms and legs were broken. We begged the elders for help, but they actually refused to intervene and wouldn't treat his injuries."
"We had no choice but to go down the mountain to buy medicine. We never expected to be cornered at the gate by them." Chu Cheng recounted the entire ordeal in full detail.
"Elder Su Rou and Elder Ouyang — why didn't you ask them for help?" Chu Feng was somewhat surprised. Among the Inner Sect elders, it would be understandable if others wouldn't bother with the Chu Family, but Su Rou should never have stood by and done nothing.
