The Azure Rainbow Sword and the Violet Rainbow Sword — two half-emperor weapons — had not only had their bond with Nangong Tianhu and Nangong Tianshi severed, but they now belonged to Chu Feng.
This was more than mere recognition. Both half-emperor weapons had submitted to Chu Feng entirely.
At that moment, with both weapons in hand, Chu Feng could clearly feel two streams of energy surging into his body simultaneously.
Under these circumstances, his aura had long since stopped being that of a first-rank half-emperor. He was now a second-rank half-emperor — Chu Feng had made a breakthrough.
"Seems I underestimated myself," Chu Feng couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating laugh.
He had been worried beforehand that the Azure Rainbow Sword and the Violet Rainbow Sword wouldn't submit to him, but now it was clear those concerns had been entirely unnecessary.
Because when the two swords had acknowledged him as their master, they had done so with an urgency — as if they had been waiting for this moment all along.
Hummmm—
Suddenly, the Azure Rainbow Sword and the Violet Rainbow Sword began to tremble. It wasn't a tremor of resistance — it was more like a plea. A plea to fight on Chu Feng's behalf.
The Azure Rainbow Sword and the Violet Rainbow Sword truly were extraordinary, possessing a spirit all their own.
"I know that having you serve Nangong Tianhu and Nangong Tianshi before was beneath you."
"Now that you're willing to serve me, I swear I won't let you down."
Chu Feng smiled faintly, then put both swords away. His figure blurred, and with ghost-like speed, he left the cavern and once more stood outside its entrance.
Stepping outside, Chu Feng smiled, placed his hands on his hips, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Descendants of the Poison Demon — shameless and wicked, bullying the common folk. You deserve to be cut down!"
"All of you, get out here. I'll teach you a lesson in how to be decent human beings."
Hearing that shout, the Poison Demon's descendants were shocked to their core. That voice was so familiar — could it really be Chu Feng?
"Heavens, this is…"
When they rushed to the entrance and looked, several of them went so pale that their legs gave out and they collapsed to the ground, wetting themselves on the spot. This wasn't just someone who resembled Chu Feng — this was undeniably Chu Feng himself.
But wasn't Chu Feng supposed to be trapped inside the Refining Poison Array? Wasn't he supposed to be getting dissolved in there? How was he standing at their doorstep, completely unscathed?
They scrambled to summon the elders. When Elder Xiuyuan and the others arrived at the entrance and saw Chu Feng, their faces drained of color in an instant.
They truly hadn't expected that Chu Feng would actually escape from the Refining Poison Array. Escaping was one thing — but doing it this quickly? They had barely left, and Chu Feng was already out.
Of all of them, Elder Xiuyuan wore the darkest expression. To prevent Chu Feng from fleeing the Refining Poison Array, he had personally set up an additional formation. Yet here Chu Feng was, standing at their door shouting challenges, and he hadn't noticed a thing. What was the point of the formation — was it just for show?
"Stop staring at me like that. Go fetch your clan leader. Are you really going to force me to slaughter my way through you?" Chu Feng said with a grin.
Hearing these words, Elder Xiuyuan and the others didn't dare delay. They hurried off to bring out their clan leader, Du Wanwu.
When Du Wanwu appeared, he was noticeably calmer than Elder Xiuyuan and the rest, though there was still a deep look of astonishment on his face.
Even he hadn't anticipated that Chu Feng would walk out of the Refining Poison Array — not only unharmed, but seemingly in even better condition than before.
