Chapter 2532. Divine-grade Thunder Mark (2)

Roar——

The might of this secret technique was far from trivial. Although it had not yet reached the level of the Ancient Battle Axe's power that transcended cultivation realms, its strength was still formidable.

Relying on Young Master Dawn's own cultivation and combat power—both superior to Chu Feng's—this secret technique actually forced the Ancient Battle Axe into a series of retreats.

"You really called it, Chu Feng. This girl's tricks truly are endless—she's not to be underestimated."

"I can see why she's nothing like Kongdou Moyuan's ilk."

Right now, the Queen was growing more and more excited as she watched. Seeing that Young Master Dawn possessed so many techniques, she wasn't worried at all—on the contrary, she was growing increasingly thrilled.

Of course, the reason she wasn't worried about Chu Feng wasn't because she was careless. She knew full well that Chu Feng still had three trump cards he hadn't yet played.

The first was Chu Feng's Divine Mark. Its power far surpassed other Heavenly-grade bloodlines. Although Chu Feng was currently at a disadvantage, in the Queen's eyes, the moment he used his Divine Mark, he could turn the tide of battle.

Beyond the Divine Mark, Chu Feng had a second trump card: the Ancient Battle Sword, another ancient secret technique he had obtained from the Ancient Battle Clan.

The Ancient Battle Sword was the foremost of the Ancient Battle Clan's three great secret techniques—a technique that even Zhan Haichuan had failed to conquer in his time.

Its power was not only greater than the Ancient Battle Axe, but even greater than Zhan Haichuan's Ancient Battle Spear.

However, because its power was so immense, the Ancient Battle Sword was also extraordinarily difficult to wield.

Chu Feng couldn't use it yet, but when his cultivation had risen to the eighth rank of Martial Ancestor and he had once activated the Thunder Mark's power, he had told the Queen that while he couldn't fully master the Ancient Battle Sword with his current abilities, at a critical moment he could still unleash it.

That said, using the Ancient Battle Sword would inevitably push his body beyond its limits, and that would inevitably take a toll.

In simple terms, Chu Feng could, if he gave it everything, draw upon some of the Ancient Battle Sword's power right now.

But the cost would be the same as using the Evil God Sword—a severe burden on his body, and potentially devastating backlash.

So as long as he could avoid it, Chu Feng wouldn't use the Ancient Battle Sword. It was, after all, a life-saving measure, an ace to be played only when there was no other choice.

Of course, beyond the Ancient Battle Sword, Chu Feng had one final card: the Evil God Sword.

If Chu Feng risked everything and used the Ancient Battle Sword but still couldn't escape from a True Immortal, then the Evil God Sword, once unsheathed, would ensure that even an ordinary True Immortal could not escape death.

It was Chu Feng's most powerful trump card to date—and also the one with the most dire consequences, the one he dared use the least.

In the Queen's eyes, as long as these three trump cards remained, Chu Feng held infinite possibilities.

And when it came to a life-or-death moment, Chu Feng didn't even fear True Immortals—so how could he possibly be afraid of a mere Martial Ancestor?

That was why the Queen was so calm and composed. She knew Chu Feng would win.

"Girl, what exactly is your background? How do you have so many techniques at your disposal?"

"But I have to say, this little golden lion of yours, fierce as it is, is still inferior to my Ancient Battle Axe."

"The only reason your golden lion can hold its own against my Ancient Battle Axe is that your cultivation is one rank above mine."

"So if you truly want to hold a grudge against me to the bone, you should kill me right now."

"Otherwise, the day my cultivation catches up to yours and we're both at the ninth rank of Martial Ancestor—well, you won't be able to contend with me then."

Chu Feng was completely unshaken, and so despite being at a disadvantage in the current situation, he kept up his teasing, needling Young Master Dawn relentlessly.

Young Master Dawn was normally a very composed person. Ordinary provocation wouldn't faze her at all—as her previous duel with Chu Feng on Cloud Crane Mountain had clearly demonstrated.

But that careless touch of Chu Feng's had struck at her bottom line.

Everyone had a bottom line—a boundary that could not be crossed, and once crossed, could not be tolerated.

So as long as Chu Feng kept prodding her about that particular incident, every strike would hit its mark, and Young Master Dawn would certainly be provoked into a rage.
