"Oh heavens, how could this be happening?"
Liu Xiaoli had also noticed the scene, and her face immediately turned pale with fright. She couldn't help covering her mouth with both hands.
As the president of the Red Butterfly Association, Liu Xiaoli had seen her share of the world and witnessed plenty of killing. But a scene like today's still managed to shock her to the core.
Because the current state of the Three Star Hall was truly miserable beyond words.
"The Ying Heavenly Clan… they really are ruthless enough."
After gritting those words out through his teeth, Chu Feng took a deep breath. Then he closed his eyes and sank into silence — no one knew what he was thinking.
"Chu Feng, you're actually still alive. Good, very good. Heaven truly smiles upon me."
"It seems the heavens have eyes. They deliberately spared your wretched little life for the sole purpose of letting me kill you with my own hands, so I can avenge my son."
"Chu Feng, today I will make you pay in blood. I will tear your body to shreds."
The patriarch of the Ying Heavenly Clan wore a savage, twisted expression. The ancestral weapon in his hand thrust forward repeatedly, and several sharp beams of sword light shot toward Chu Feng like a meteor shower.
"Chu Feng, watch out!!!"
Upon seeing this, the Three Star Hall's Hall Master shouted in alarm. At the same time, every person from the Three Star Hall who was present furrowed their brows, their hearts clenching with dread.
After all, the Ying Heavenly Clan patriarch's attack was no trivial matter. Everyone could feel the terrifying power contained in those beams of sword light filling the sky.
He was not joking. He truly intended to take Chu Feng's life and tear his body to pieces — and not even Liu Xiaoli standing beside Chu Feng would be spared.
Sssszzz—!
However, just as those beams of sword light were about to reach Chu Feng, several bolts of lightning suddenly erupted from within his body.
The lightning was ferocious beyond measure. Not only did it shatter every last beam of sword light, but Chu Feng's aura also surged outward at the same time.
When that aura washed over the crowd, every person's body trembled and their hearts shook violently.
Right then and there, everyone could feel it — Chu Feng's aura, his cultivation.
"Seventh level Martial Ancestor — Chu Feng's cultivation is actually at the seventh level of Martial Ancestor!!!"
Despite having been battered and bruised to the point of being covered in wounds, a look of joy now appeared on the faces of the Three Star Hall crowd.
"Chu Feng's cultivation has actually risen to such a level?"
The Three Star Hall's Hall Master found it especially hard to believe. After all, the last time he had seen Chu Feng, Chu Feng had still only been a Half Ancestor. In such a short span of time, Chu Feng had actually become a seventh level Martial Ancestor — it was truly beyond imagination.
"The world of geniuses really cannot be measured by the standards of ordinary people. It seems that today, our Three Star Hall is going to be saved." A faint upward curve tugged at the corner of the Three Star Hall Hall Master's lips.
Both Chu Feng and the Ying Heavenly Clan patriarch possessed the power of Heavenly-level bloodlines. And the Ying Heavenly Clan patriarch had been able to defeat him at just the fifth level of Martial Ancestor. So just how powerful was Chu Feng, who was now a seventh level Martial Ancestor? He could already imagine it perfectly well.
Since Chu Feng had come to save them, then clearly today, they were all going to be saved.
"That's impossible — that's absolutely impossible! In such a short time, how could you possibly possess such cultivation?!"
But while the Three Star Hall crowd was bursting with elation, the Ying Heavenly Clan patriarch's face was painted with disbelief.
Yet Chu Feng didn't spare the Ying Heavenly Clan patriarch so much as a single glance. Lightning flickered in his eyes as the Lightning Armor and Lightning Wings materialized simultaneously — one upon his body, the other upon his back.
As his cultivation surged from the seventh level of Martial Ancestor to the ninth level, the look in Chu Feng's eyes held not just the flash of lightning but also killing intent cold enough to freeze bone.
And that killing intent, just like his oppressive aura, blanketed heaven and earth completely, seeping into the very bodies of everyone present.
Swish swish swish—
Right at that moment, every member of the Ying Heavenly Clan was lifted into the air, scattered across the sky like lambs strung up and awaiting the butcher's blade.
"Patriarch, save us! Save us!!!"
The Ying Heavenly Clan members instinctively sensed that something was terribly wrong, but they had already lost control of their own bodies. Like puppets, they were entirely under Chu Feng's control. Left with no choice, they could only cry out to their patriarch for help.
"Chu Feng, what are you trying to do?!" The Ying Heavenly Clan patriarch panicked and couldn't help but demand an answer.
"It seems the pain of losing your son wasn't enough of a lesson for you. Then today, I will let you feel the pain of losing your entire clan," Chu Feng said.
"Chu Feng, don't you dare do anything rash, or Lord Chu Luxuan will absolutely never let you off!!!"
The Ying Heavenly Clan patriarch roared in desperation.
"Heh…"
But to the Ying Heavenly Clan patriarch's threats, Chu Feng merely let out a contemptuous laugh.
Then the lightning in his eyes flared violently.
The next instant, every member of the Ying Heavenly Clan who had been suspended in midair twisted their faces into masks of agony.
