Chu Feng finally understood why Young Master Dawn had been hailed as the number one genius of the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm.
She was not only a peak Martial Ancestor — she was actually a bearer of a Heavenly-grade bloodline.
"Stop running and fight her!"
"I'm telling you, Chu Feng — a girl like Dawn only respects strength. You have to conquer her with power." Seeing Chu Feng turn tail and flee, the Queen chided him with exasperation.
"I'm telling you, Eggy, do I really have to fight her? I have a feeling this Dawn girl isn't the same kind of person as Kongdou Moyuan."
"She may be at the same cultivation level as Kongdou Moyuan, but I just get the sense that fighting her won't be easy. There's risk involved." Chu Feng said.
"Fight or don't fight — it's up to you. This Queen isn't going to stop you. But if you don't fight, you're definitely not getting away."
The Queen folded her arms and plopped herself down on the ground with a thump.
That little look on her face — nose in the air, a mischievous smirk on her impossibly beautiful features — made it clear she wasn't worried about Chu Feng in the slightest. If anything, she looked like she was settling in to enjoy a show.
"You can't escape, Chu Feng."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Young Master Dawn's speed was extraordinary. She was closing in fast, and with an angry shout, countless arrows streaked toward Chu Feng from behind in a dense, blinding barrage.
These were no ordinary arrows. Each one was dozens of meters long, gleaming with golden light and razor-sharp. And there were simply too many to count — a torrential downpour of golden projectiles chasing after Chu Feng.
These weren't some basic martial attack. They were a Taboo-level martial skill, and their power was fearsome indeed.
Realizing he couldn't outrun them, Chu Feng stopped in his tracks. With a thought, a massive axe materialized before him out of thin air.
Hummm—
The axe hovered in front of Chu Feng like the king of all weapons, erupting with a blinding golden radiance. The arrows hadn't even drawn near before they were swallowed by the golden light emanating from the axe, then shattered to pieces.
In an instant, countless golden fragments scattered in the air before the axe — the remains of those golden arrows.
"A secret technique?"
"Are you a member of the Ancient Battle Clan?"
"No — if you were from the Ancient Battle Clan, how could you possess a Heavenly-grade bloodline?"
"Could it be that you're a successor of Zhan Haichuan?"
When she saw that ancient axe, Young Master Dawn's gaze shifted and she froze in place.
It was clear this girl was well-informed. She knew the affairs of the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm inside and out, and at a single glance she recognized that Chu Feng's ancient battle axe was somehow connected to Zhan Haichuan.
"That's right — I am the inheritor of the Ancient Battle Clan. This secret technique is called the Ancient Battle Axe, and it stands alongside Senior Zhan Haichuan's Ancient Battle Spear as one of the three great secret techniques of the Ancient Battle Clan."
"Girl, you should be able to feel the power of my Ancient Battle Axe by now, right?"
"My own combat strength may be a tier below yours, but with the Ancient Battle Axe, don't even think about beating me." Chu Feng said with a smirk.
Chu Feng's words weren't genuinely meant to boast about how formidable he was. His tone was playful — laced more with teasing than anything else. Even having brought out the Ancient Battle Axe, he had no real intention of hurting Young Master Dawn.
So even if this fight truly began, Chu Feng would never push it to the point of killing her.
He had never harbored any ill will toward her in the first place.
"You're arrogant." Young Master Dawn let out a cold snort. Her palm swept across her Universe Bag, and in the next instant, both of her hands blazed with brilliant light.
When the light faded, Chu Feng could clearly see that Young Master Dawn was now holding two long whips.
They were identical in design, yet one was wreathed in spiraling gales while the other crackled with arcs of thunder.
The wind churned the heavens and earth, and the lightning blazed with searing intensity. Together, their combined aura was overwhelming — almost terrifying.
These were two Ancestral Armaments, and of the finest quality at that — no inferior to Chu Feng's Gale Blade or Flame Dragon Great Sword.
Snap snap snap—
In that moment, the two whips in Young Master Dawn's hands lashed out simultaneously.
