"Youyouan, rest for a moment. These two degenerates of the
As Chu Feng spoke, he tightened his grip on the Evil God Sword once more.
"Hahaha, do you see that, Chu Youyouan? This Chu Feng is just like his father and grandfather — utterly, irrationally arrogant."
"Does he really think he can take on two Supreme Elders of the Chu Heavenly Clan with nothing but that piece of junk sword?" Chu Haoyan's grandfather let out a scornful laugh.
Though they expressed it differently, both of them found Chu Feng utterly laughable.
"You're welcome to try."
Chu Feng's grip on the Evil God Sword tightened further as he began channeling the demonic weapon once again.
He had already witnessed the battle between Youyouan and Chu Haoyan's grandfather, and after that, he could no longer be certain whether the Evil God Sword could stand against a Venerable.
Nevertheless, the Evil God Sword remained his last hope. He had to give it everything he had.
At least with the Evil God Sword, there was a sliver of a chance. Without it, death was a certainty.
"Chu Feng, put down that demonic weapon."
But just then, Youyouan spoke up suddenly, looking directly at Chu Feng as he said:
"Chu Feng, you must trust me. With me here, they will not lay a finger on you."
Having said that, Youyouan actually reached out and shattered his own defensive barrier, pulling Chu Feng into his embrace.
"Hold him! Don't let him escape!"
At the sight of this, Chu Haoyan's grandfather's brows shot upward, a look of extreme gravity flashing through his eyes.
At the same time, Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather unleashed a torrent of imposing pressure, his gaze locked firmly on Youyouan's every movement.
Indeed, for Youyouan — already gravely wounded — escape was all but impossible against the two of them standing guard.
Whoosh—
And yet, even so, Youyouan suddenly stomped off the ground and launched himself into the air.
However, he did not fly toward the cave's entrance. Instead, he shot toward the depths of the cavern — in the direction of that fiery red lake.
And once Youyouan, carrying Chu Feng, reached the space above the lake, he plunged straight downward. With a loud splash, a geyser of water erupted skyward as Youyouan plunged into the lake along with Chu Feng.
"This…?"
At the sight of this, both Chu Haoyan's grandfather and Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather reacted with surprise.
Then, the two of them simultaneously flew over and hovered above the lake.
After a careful inspection, they exchanged a glance — and then actually smiled with relief.
In their estimation, the power of that lake water was tremendous. Forget Chu Feng — even if Chu Youyouan entered it, he would surely perish.
"That Chu Youyouan wasn't bluffing. We truly have no way to kill Chu Feng — because Chu Feng will die at his own hands."
"Hahaha…"
As he finished speaking, Chu Haoyan's grandfather let out a laugh of pure, unbridled delight.
His laughter was so joyful, it was as though a long-standing grudge had finally been avenged.
As for Chu Zhiyuan's grandfather, his expression remained somewhat grave. He looked at Chu Haoyan's grandfather with a cautious gaze and said: "I hope you keep your promise. Otherwise… I'll make sure you end up at the bottom of this lake as well."
"Relax. I won't go back on a deal like this." With that, Chu Haoyan's grandfather turned to Chu Zhiyuan and
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhiyuan's face lit up with elation, and he jumped into the spring without a moment's hesitation.
