At that moment, every young generation member present had been so frightened by the ripples that they hid behind their elders, stealing glances but unable to see a thing.
Only the older generation of powerhouses could clearly witness what was happening — under the charge of the colossal dragon, Chu Feng's Ancient War Sword was trembling violently, as though it might shatter at any moment.
Visible cracks had even begun to appear across both the Ancient War Sword and the Ancient War Axe.
Upon seeing this, forget about Ma Changchun —
nearly every elder from both the Holy Armament Mountain and the Holy Pill Mountain had already steeled themselves, ready to act.
If Chu Feng's situation turned dire, they would intervene immediately.
Even though Chu Feng had made it explicitly clear that he did not want them to interfere, they still would not stand by and watch him die.
They absolutely would not allow Chu Feng to perish at Han Yu's hands.
Fortunately, the power of the Immortal Technique dragon, no matter how formidable, was ultimately limited, and it soon came to a halt.
By the time the dragon dissipated, both the Ancient War Sword and the Ancient War Axe were riddled with cracks.
But in the end, they had held.
And so, Ma Changchun and the others let out a sigh of relief.
Pfft —
But right at that moment, Chu Feng's mouth flew open, and several mouthfuls of fresh blood sprayed outward.
By the time Chu Feng stopped spitting blood, his complexion had already turned pale as paper, his aura so feeble that he could barely even stand.
"Big Brother Chu Feng — why does he have to push himself like this?"
Looking at Chu Feng in that state, Li Xiang and the others were filled with heartache.
As for the rest of those present, some admired Chu Feng, while others secretly mocked him.
Those who admired Chu Feng respected his sheer refusal to concede defeat.
Those who mocked him, however, felt that Chu Feng was simply no match for Han Yu and could only hold on through sheer stubbornness by relying on those two heaven-defying secret techniques.
Even if he could temporarily endure, all he could do was passively take the blows without ever being able to launch a counterattack.
To keep insisting under such circumstances was nothing short of foolish — which was why they ridiculed him.
Pfft —
But right then, Han Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood as well, then dropped to one knee.
The onlookers' expressions shifted in unison.
With stunned faces, they realized that Han Yu's complexion was not much better than Chu Feng's.
Only then did it suddenly dawn on everyone — the backlash of an Immortal Technique was no trivial matter. Having deployed two Immortal Techniques in succession, Han Yu was also bearing enormous strain.
Hum —
However, at that very moment, a golden light suddenly shot skyward.
Every single person present was stunned when they saw that golden light.
It was Chu Feng's Ancient War Sword. It had already left Chu Feng's grasp, and now, surging with formidable power, it was hurtling toward Han Yu.
"Damn it!!!"
Realizing the danger, Han Yu hastily unleashed a Forbidden Martial Technique, bombarding the Ancient War Sword in an attempt to block Chu Feng's assault.
He deployed one Forbidden Martial Technique after another — he even resorted to an Ancestral Forbidden Martial Technique.
But none of it could stop Chu Feng's Ancient War Sword.
Right now, that sword was utterly unstoppable. Every Forbidden Martial Technique Han Yu released was instantly obliterated the moment it clashed with the Ancient War Sword.
At best, they could only slow its advance, but they could not stop it.
Under these conditions, the Ancient War Sword rapidly closed the distance to Han Yu.
CLANG —
A deafening crash rang out, and the Ancient War Sword was, in fact, blocked.
It really was blocked. Han Yu had deployed yet another Ancestral Forbidden Martial Technique — a colossal shield, and it was this shield that had halted Chu Feng's Ancient War Sword.
But even though Han Yu had successfully blocked the strike, the looks the crowd directed at him now were anything but simple.
Those gazes brimmed with doubt, as though they could scarcely believe what they had just witnessed.
The people of Yuwen City, in particular, wore expressions of utter disbelief and bitter frustration.
