Standing high above in the sky at this very moment were two figures.
One of them was none other than one of the Five Great Villains — Iron Villain, the very man who had once killed Aunt Lian's husband and daughter.
The other was, unexpectedly, a member of the Beitang Imperial Clan. He was the First-tier Martial Emperor who had backed Beitang Zimo outside of the Immortal Island and given Chu Feng a hard time — Beitang Zhiqiang.
This Beitang Zhiqiang was truly brazen. He hadn't even bothered to conceal his face. It was clear he wasn't afraid of being recognized in the slightest — he had most likely already prepared himself to kill everyone present to keep them silent. And in truth, he absolutely had the strength to do so.
As for why Beitang Zhiqiang had allied himself with Iron Villain, and appeared poised to back Black Fiend as well — there was no need to spell out what that meant.
Clearly, all of Chu Feng's earlier suspicions had been right on the mark. The Beitang Imperial Clan had indeed colluded with Black Fiend.
What Chu Feng hadn't expected, however, was that the Beitang Imperial Clan's alliance extended beyond just Black Fiend — they had also roped in Iron Villain.
"Oh my mother, there are actually two Martial Emperors! There's absolutely no way we can win this one. Let's get out of here!" Gou Dan'er blurted in a panic, making it abundantly clear he had no desire to die in this place.
"Chu Feng, you should all leave," said Du Wanwu.
"What about you?" Chu Feng asked.
"I, Du Wanwu, have sworn to protect the Luo family. I absolutely cannot stand by and watch them die. I will not flee at the last moment. Even if I must die, I will die before the Luo family does."
The words had barely left Du Wanwu's mouth when, without waiting for Chu Feng to respond, he launched himself forward and planted his feet before the Luo family patriarch. He stared up at the two Martial Emperors in the sky and bellowed, "If you want to destroy the Luo family, you'll have to kill me first!"
"Boy, who are you?"
At the sight of Du Wanwu stepping forward, both Iron Villain and Beitang Zhiqiang registered a flicker of surprise. After all, Du Wanwu's strength was top-tier among the younger generation.
By their estimation, the Luo family could never have cultivated such a talented young fighter. Their first assumption was that Du Wanwu must be the disciple of some powerful expert.
"That's none of your concern," Du Wanwu said, his expression resolute. He had already steeled himself to die.
"Your cultivation is decent, I'll give you that. But with your current strength, you cannot protect the Luo family."
"Regardless of where you come from or who your master is — since you've allied yourself with this Luo family, you will die today." Beitang Zhiqiang's killing intent had already ignited. No matter how talented Du Wanwu was, they would absolutely not let him go.
"That guy is as good as dead. Immortal, don't bother with him — let's just go!" Gou Dan'er urged Chu Feng.
"No. I can't just stand by and let them die. Besides, the Martial Emperors' pressure has already sealed off the Luo family. We can't escape — not through the sky, not through the ground." Chu Feng shook his head.
"Then what do we do?" With Chu Feng's words, Gou Dan'er was at a complete loss.
"At this point, all we can do is go all in," Chu Feng said.
"Go all in? How? Those are two Martial Emperors!" Gou Dan'er exclaimed.
"I actually have an idea. It might just give us a sliver of a chance."
