Thousands of soldiers surged out from beneath the ground, each clad in armor — all of them elites from the four clans.
But what shocked everyone most were the four elderly men among them. These were none other than the Supreme Elders of the four Great Imperial Clans.
"Even the Supreme Elders of the four clans have come out? Weren't they supposed to be nearly ten thousand years old? They're still alive?"
Many people gasped in astonishment. The four clan masters appearing was one thing, but the Supreme Elders showing up as well — this showed just how much the four Great Imperial Clans valued Chu Feng.
Whoosh—
At this moment, under the suppression of the four Supreme Elders, Baili Xuankong no longer had the ability to continue fighting. Like Hong Qiang, he had been subdued.
Ugh—agh—
The Ximen Imperial Clan's Supreme Elder spread his hands open, his fingers curved like eagle claws, aiming at Hong Qiang and Baili Xuankong respectively. Though several meters away, the moment he grabbed, both Baili Xuankong and Hong Qiang let out screams of agony.
"Chu Feng, I won't waste words. I'm giving you a count of three. Either you show yourself, or I twist both their heads off," the Ximen elder said viciously.
Because Ximen Feixue had suffered a crushing defeat at Chu Feng's hands, the Ximen Imperial Clan's hatred for Chu Feng ran even deeper than the Nangong Imperial Clan's.
"Stop." Seeing this, Chu Feng naturally could not stand by and do nothing. He soared into the sky and arrived above the horizon.
"Chu Feng — it's really Chu Feng!" When the crowd saw Chu Feng, they were shocked once more. No one had truly expected that under these circumstances, Chu Feng would still dare to show himself.
"One person does their own deeds and bears their own burdens. The one you four clans should be after is me, Chu Feng. Whatever you want to do, bring it all on me alone. Let them go," Chu Feng said.
Whoosh—
Hearing these words, the expressions of many people shifted, and some could not help but draw in sharp breaths.
But nearly everyone who looked at Chu Feng felt a surge of admiration rise in their eyes.
Who said Chu Feng was heartless? Who said Chu Feng was a coward who feared death?
Here was Chu Feng, clearly knowing death awaited him, yet still showing himself for the sake of his closest kin. This kind of loyalty and righteousness was truly heroic — far beyond what ordinary people could muster.
"Chu Feng is so loyal and righteous. He can't possibly be the despicable person the four clans claim he is. A man like this — what a pity if he dies."
"Indeed. It's just a pity that he, a junior, has offended the four clans with their deep foundations. Sigh!!!" At this moment, many people sighed repeatedly, feeling regret on Chu Feng's behalf.
Chu Feng's appearance had won people's respect. But they also knew that Chu Feng's appearance meant certain death.
"Chu Feng, you've finally shown yourself." When the Ximen elder saw Chu Feng, his sword-like brows shot upward, rage and satisfaction mingling on his face. Without further words, he swept his wide sleeve, and the void immediately twisted. Martial power surged and crisscrossed, transforming several golden beams into countless blades that slashed toward Chu Feng.
Swish, swish, swish—
The martial power blades were not fast. This was intentional — he wanted everyone to see exactly how he killed Chu Feng. He wanted to tear Chu Feng apart piece by piece, leaving no whole corpse.
And the most frustrating thing was, facing such a slow attack, Chu Feng could only await his death, because the Ximen clan master had long since pinned Chu Feng in place with his overwhelming oppressive force. Chu Feng could not escape at all.
Hummm—
However, just as the countless blades were about to reach Chu Feng, the space before Chu Feng suddenly twisted, and all the blades plunged into that space like stones sinking into the ocean, failing to harm Chu Feng in the slightest.
"What's going on?" Seeing this, everyone's expression shifted.
"A bunch of shameless old geezers! At your status, going after a junior who has cultivated martial arts for less than twenty years — don't you feel embarrassed?"
