"You old fool, do you realize that your disrespectful little stunt is going to get every last one of your Ancient Immortals buried alongside you?" After blocking the golden-haired elder's attack, the Master of the Dark Hall spoke.
"What did you say?" The golden-haired elder had yet to process what was happening.
ZZZZZZZAP—
But in that very instant, bolts of lightning flickered through the Dark Hall Master's eyes. Then, one after another, massive streaks of thunder erupted from within his body like rampaging dragons.
Once released, the lightning spread at terrifying speed and pierced through the Ancient Immortals like blades.
Everything happened far too quickly. Aside from Chu Feng and a scant few of the Ancient Immortals' top experts, every last one of them was struck by the lightning.
And every single person hit by that thunder had their soul obliterated on the spot — their bodies reduced to ash and dust in the blink of an eye, not even having time to let out a scream before death claimed them.
In mere moments, the hundreds of thousands of Ancient Immortals gathered there were all wiped out by him.
Yet even as those hundreds of thousands of Ancient Immortals were slaughtered in an instant, Chu Feng's expression shifted dramatically. Shock filled his eyes as he stared at the Dark Hall Master in utter disbelief.
"NO—!!!"
At that moment, the golden-haired elder let out a roar of anguish and fury, and an overwhelming wave of murderous intent surged from within him.
SWOOSH—
Under that sudden burst of power, the Emperor Armament saber in his hand bypassed the Dark Hall Master's fingers and drove straight toward his Dantian.
ZZZZZZZAP—
However, just as the Emperor Armament saber was about to make contact with the Dark Hall Master's body, bolts of lightning erupted from within him.
That lightning not only blocked the golden-haired elder's attack but also coiled around the Dark Hall Master's body, forming a suit of thunder armor that covered him from head to toe.
In that moment, not only was Chu Feng utterly stunned, but even Xian Miaomiao's face was filled with shock, and she couldn't help but turn to look at Chu Feng.
Because the Dark Hall Master's thunder armor was identical to Chu Feng's.
More than that, the lightning he had wielded just moments ago also came in several colors — the same number of colors as the lightning Chu Feng currently commanded.
All of this pointed to one conclusion: here on the Martial Sacred Continent, Chu Feng was not the only one who possessed the power of that Thunder Beast. Chu Feng was not the only one who bore that powerful inherited bloodline.
The Dark Hall Master standing before them possessed it as well.
He… shared the same inherited bloodline as Chu Feng.
"Heh heh heh — this thunder armor, Chu Feng, was put on display just for you. I wanted to see the look on your face right now." That man watched Chu Feng with a grin, and in his eyes Chu Feng could see a clear trace of mockery.
"As for you — I don't even need thunder armor to wipe you out." With that, the Dark Hall Master suddenly turned toward the golden-haired elder, his hand thrusting forward like a blade. With a muffled "pfft," his palm pierced straight through the golden-haired elder's Dantian.
It should be noted that the golden-haired elder's robes were special, granting him tremendous defensive power. Yet before the Dark Hall Master, they were still utterly worthless.
"Get lost. A weakling like you dares to raise a hand against me?" The Dark Hall Master flicked his sleeve and hurled the golden-haired elder toward Chu Feng.
SLAP—
Chu Feng reached out and caught the golden-haired elder, pulling him into his arms.
"Uncle."
"My lord."
