The Demon Clan Patriarch's ancestral weapon, the War Axe, fell from the sky — but his physical body was already gone, having been obliterated up above and dissolved into a rain of blood that scattered downward.
The members of the Demon Clan wore ashen faces, their expressions utterly devoid of hope. They had never imagined that their Patriarch would be so easily erased before their very eyes.
But if even their Patriarch had been powerless against
Today — this very moment — would likely be their end.
Roar——
But just then, amid the rain of blood, a piercing, furious roar suddenly echoed out.
The next instant, a stream of dark, black gas materialized, and it only continued to multiply.
That dark gas was like a phantom — neither human nor blade, yet it let out eerie, bone-chilling howls while radiating a vast and formidable aura.
"A secret technique — the Enemy-Slaying Slash!!!"
The members of the Ancient Demon Clan each felt their expressions shift. They recognized this secret technique, of course. After all, it was a secret technique of their own Ancient Demon Clan.
"A secret technique? I didn't expect this fellow to possess something like this."
"Interesting. Seems killing him was the right call after all."
Upon seeing the secret technique, Chu Feng actually broke into a pleased smile. Then, spreading his palm wide, a tremendous surge of suction erupted forth once more — this time enveloping the secret technique.
"What is that fellow doing? Could it be… he wants to capture the secret technique?" At this sight, the Demon Clan members were struck with even greater shock.
"Naughty brat, how dare you set your sights on me — you're truly courting death." Yet Chu Feng's suction failed to so much as budge the secret technique. Instead, the technique itself let out a roar of sheer fury.
The next moment, wave after wave of overwhelming force came crashing down toward Chu Feng.
Everything happened far too quickly. Caught completely off guard, all Chu Feng heard was a deafening boom before he was blasted back tens of thousands of meters.
He finally came to a stop only after slamming into a building, but the violent ripples had already swept over and engulfed him.
"Young Hero Chu Feng!!!"
At this sight, the members of the Ancient War Clan were horrified, fear flooding their faces.
The aura emanating from that secret technique was no ordinary thing, and Chu Feng had genuinely been knocked back. Now, shrouded by those violent ripples, his life or death was completely unknown — how could they not be worried?
"The secret technique is truly formidable! We're saved — our Ancient Demon Clan is saved!!!"
"This Chu Feng is a fool, provoking the great Secret Technique on his own accord. He's as good as dead today."
While the War Clan members were consumed with worry, the faces of the Ancient Demon Clan members began to light up with a glimmer of joy.
They had originally believed that facing an opponent as powerful as Chu Feng, their Demon Clan was surely doomed to perish today.
But after witnessing the secret technique's overwhelming might, it suddenly dawned on them — they still had a chance at salvation. One could even say that today, they might still have hope of destroying the Ancient War Clan.
They could still win this war.
After all, this secret technique had been created by Lord Demon Executioner himself. The power inherent to the secret technique itself should be truly extraordinary.
When the Demon Clan Patriarch had originally subdued it, it had not been through his own strength — it had been passed down through inheritance. As such, none of them truly knew just how powerful this secret technique had become.
But judging by what they were seeing now, the technique was indeed formidable. Even Chu Feng was no match for it. Naturally, they were overjoyed.
"Die!!!"
In an instant, a sinister voice rang out, accompanied by a vast, surging wave of killing intent.
The secret technique pressed its advantage, carrying black flames that soared into the sky, blotting out sun and moon alike, as it surged toward Chu Feng.
Zzzzzz-crack——
But just then, within the area consumed by the ripples, brilliant arcs of lightning suddenly began to flash.
