"Is this all you've got? An Ancient Clan's Clan Master? How underwhelming."
"Tell you what, I'll give you one last chance. And this will be your only chance."
"I'll stand right here, without moving an inch, and let you attack me as you please."
"But if you still can't kill me this time, then I'm sorry — I'll be the one striking back." Chu Feng said to the Ancient Clan's Clan Master.
"Hss—"
Hearing those words, many members of the Ancient War Clan couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.
Arrogance — what breathtaking arrogance! But it was the kind of arrogance that set one's blood boiling and inspired genuine admiration from the bottom of one's heart.
Zhan Lingtong and Zhan Lingling were so excited their hearts nearly leapt from their chests. They had known Chu Feng would grow stronger, but they had never imagined he would become strong to such a degree.
He had actually reached a point where he completely disregarded the Clan Master of the Ancient Clan.
Most importantly, at this very moment, Chu Feng was already suppressing the Clan Master in terms of sheer presence alone.
The Clan Master of the Ancient Clan was no longer composed. His brows were tightly furrowed and drenched in sweat — this was the first time they had seen him react this way in all the time they had known him.
"Are you certain you won't fight back?" the Clan Master asked gravely.
"Heh…" Chu Feng smiled faintly and said, "Rank Five Martial Ancestor, yet possessing combat power that crosses four full ranks — you're quite strong."
"However, someone at your level still isn't worthy of making me fight back. Go ahead. If you have what it takes, my life is yours."
Chu Feng clasped his hands behind his back, signaling to the Clan Master that he would absolutely not fight back, nor would he dodge.
But most importantly, he truly did not put the current Clan Master of the Ancient Clan in his eyes at all.
"Arrogant brat! Since you insist on being so foolish, I'll make sure you die a fitting death!!!"
Seeing Chu Feng's attitude, a vicious glint flashed through the Clan Master's eyes.
In a sudden motion, the Ancient Clan's Clan Master turned his palm over, and three crimson pills materialized in his hand.
The Clan Master swallowed all three in one gulp. The very next instant, scarlet flames erupted across his entire body.
In that moment, his aura surged to a terrifying level.
Not only did his eyes turn blood-red, but his very skin took on a crimson hue, and a blood-red vortex churned into existence above his head.
He no longer looked remotely human, nor did he resemble a member of the Ancient Clan — he looked like a demon.
"He consumed the forbidden Red Devil Pill — three of them at once! He's staking his life on this!"
"Young Hero Chu Feng, be careful! That forbidden Red Devil Pill is a closely guarded secret treasure of the Ancient Clan — you mustn't take it lightly!"
Seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse, Zhan Yuanmo couldn't help but call out a warning. As a long-standing rival of the Ancient Clan, he knew all too well how fearsome the Red Devil Pill was.
"Senior, thank you for the warning. I know what I'm doing," Chu Feng replied with a calm smile.
And yet, despite his words, Chu Feng's expression didn't change in the slightest. The confident smile on his face never wavered for a moment.
"Take this!"
Without warning, the Clan Master launched his attack. His hands gripped the massive black war axe tightly as he channeled an aura that was rapidly approaching that of a Rank Six Martial Ancestor, and brought the weapon crashing down with devastating force.
Crack—
The moment the axe descended, a colossal phantom axe materialized out of thin air.
The phantom axe was not an ancestral weapon — it was condensed entirely from martial power. The instant it appeared, the sky turned dark and the very void was cleaved violently in two.
The pitch-black blade, laced with veins of crimson light, pierced through heaven and earth as it bore down upon Chu Feng.
At that moment, every member of the Ancient War Clan broke into a cold sweat on Chu Feng's behalf.
By now, they had no choice but to admit it — Chu Feng was their savior.
But the Clan Master's strike was far too formidable, and they feared Chu Feng might not be able to withstand it.
What the Clan Master had unleashed was none other than an Ancestral Forbidden Martial Technique — and not just any technique, but the most powerful Ancestral Forbidden Martial Technique of the Ancient Clan: the Ancestral Forbidden World-Cleaving Axe.
The destructive power of this technique was hundreds of times more terrifying than the casual strike the Clan Master had launched earlier.
If Chu Feng continued to stand there without dodging, he would surely be unable to withstand it.
Hum—
And yet, when that terrifying attack drew close to Chu Feng, it sank into the warped space before him and vanished completely — just as the earlier casual strike had.
The trembling void, the collapsing void, the void that had seemed on the verge of becoming a gateway to hell — all of it settled into perfect calm in that instant.
