"You… you… who are you?! How dare you lay a hand on someone from the Qilin Prince's Manor!"
This scene terrified the other guards, because the guard who had just been killed, for better or worse, was still an expert of the Xuan Wu Realm — yet he had been cut down so effortlessly. It meant the passerby before them was no ordinary person.
At that moment, the passerby slowly rose to his feet and gradually lifted the bamboo hat from his head, revealing a clean, refined face. He looked at the group and said with a faint smile, "I came here to slaughter every last one of you from the Qilin Prince's Manor."
"You… you… you're
The moment they saw that face, the guards turned pale with shock, because the one standing before them was none other than Chu Feng himself.
But they remembered that Chu Feng had been only at the seventh level of the Yuan Martial Realm. Yet right now, he was radiating the aura of the first level of the Xuan Wu Realm. Such a transformation was utterly inconceivable to them — they couldn't even be sure whether the person standing before them was truly Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng?!" Upon hearing that name,
Lin Ran was drenched in sweat, his face a sickly green, his eye sockets deeply sunken. Combined with his disheveled hair, he looked absolutely terrifying. Most importantly, his aura had grown incredibly weak — it had actually fallen to the sixth level of the Xuan Wu Realm. It was clear that the backlash from the forbidden medicine was severe indeed.
But when he saw Chu Feng, it wasn't just surprise that washed over him. Killing intent surged forth from his body in a torrent. He pointed at Chu Feng and roared, "I can't believe you've actually delivered yourself to me — kill him!!!"
At the order of "kill," the remaining guards didn't dare hesitate. One by one, they unleashed their Xuan Wu Realm auras, channeling overwhelming pressure as they bore down on Chu Feng.
At the same time, over twenty powerful martial art techniques were launched simultaneously. They not only sealed off every possible route of retreat for Chu Feng — the sheer onslaught was aimed at taking his life.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
But in the next instant, light flashed beneath Chu Feng's feet, and his entire body transformed into a streak of radiance. He darted through the dense barrage of martial art techniques with blinding speed, and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived right in front of the group of guards.
"Slash slash slash." Chu Feng clenched his fists, and two large broadswords materialized in his palms, becoming twin golden blades of light that danced through the air.
When the blades of light came to a stop, all twenty Xuan Wu Realm experts from the Qilin Prince's Manor had been decapitated, their lives snuffed out by Chu Feng's hand.
"Your aura… and that movement technique — you are the Grey-Robed Master!!!"
At that moment, Lin Ran could no longer maintain his composure. He had realized with horror that Chu Feng's current aura, his present combat power, and the wondrous movement technique he had just displayed were all identical to those of the Grey-Robed Master who had pursued
A dreadful possibility suddenly dawned on him. The Grey-Robed Master's pursuit of Gong Luyun and the others hadn't been because the Grey-Robed Master was connected to Chu Feng — it was because Chu Feng himself was the Grey-Robed Master. It turned out that as far back as half a year ago, Chu Feng had already possessed the strength to kill Gong Luyun.
"Heh, so you figured it out. You're not as stupid as I thought."
"But do you remember what I said in Hundred Channel Gorge that day? That the next time we meet, I would take your life!" Chu Feng wore a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with a cold, piercing light.
"Hmph! If you want to take this old man's life, you'd better have the strength to back it up. I drove you away in a panic that day, and today I'll tear you to pieces!"
Lin Ran was furious. He let out a wild roar, and even as he did, he reached into his Universe Bag. A black forbidden medicine pill appeared in his palm once more.
Suffering the backlash of the forbidden medicine, he had long since lost his former combat power. So if he wanted to defeat Chu Feng as he was now, he had no choice but to take another forbidden pill. Though it would cause him tremendous harm, it was the only option he had left.
