"Two hours?" However, Chu Feng did not pick up on the deeper meaning behind Linghu Lun's words. Instead, he responded with complete nonchalance — even provocation. "Even if I gave you a lifetime, you still wouldn't be able to do anything to me."
"Linghu Lun, let me give you some advice — don't follow me. Otherwise… I'll take your light rune from you too."
After finishing those words, Chu Feng swept his wide sleeve, gathering Chu Huanyu, Chu Haoyan, and all the other members of the Li Heavenly Clan — including Li Anzhi — to his side. Then he shot up into the sky.
The moment he moved, raging flames surged toward the heavens.
It was not a single person moving — it was a towering tidal wave surging through the void.
Along the path he traveled, both the earth and the sky were scorched a blazing crimson. That kind of presence was practically the burning of heaven and earth itself.
"You arrogant fool — you dare speak of taking my rune? I'd like to see just how you plan to do that!"
Linghu Lun cursed in fury, then shot up into the sky and gave chase after Chu Feng.
He naturally would not allow Chu Feng to leave, because he knew that the power of the Fire Spirit Armor would eventually fade. And once that power was gone, that would be his chance to deal with Chu Feng.
But Chu Feng, it seemed, had not realized this at all.
He drifted lazily across the sky, even taunting Linghu Lun as he flew — showing absolutely no intention of shaking him off.
Watching Chu Feng behave in this way, Linghu Lun maintained his outward fury, but inwardly he let out a cold laugh, thinking to himself:
"Chu Feng, enjoy your arrogance for a little while longer. In two hours, I'll make you kneel before me and beg for mercy. But… even if you beg, it won't do you any good."
…
Linghu Lun's little scheme seemed to be completely lost on Chu Feng.
But Li Anzhi and the others truly had no idea about it either.
At that moment, they all found Linghu Lun rather laughable — like a clown performing on stage, gnashing his teeth at Chu Feng yet utterly powerless to do anything about it.
What amazed them even more, though, was Chu Feng's strength.
Before today, they had never imagined that they could be saved — and that it would be Chu Feng who saved them.
"Chu Feng, it seems I owe you another favor," Li Anzhi said.
"I owe you one too."
"And me."
After Li Anzhi spoke, several members of the Li Heavenly Clan expressed their thanks one after another.
Even Li Tianyou, who had harbored deep hatred toward Chu Feng, offered his gratitude.
After all, as the saying goes, everyone has a heart made of flesh. While it was true that they had previously fallen at Chu Feng's hands, it was equally true that Chu Feng had saved them today. One should be clear about graces and grievances. The juniors of the Li Heavenly Clan, though proud, arrogant, and sometimes unreasonable, had not sunk to the point of being unable to distinguish right from wrong. And so… they truly took note of the kindness Chu Feng had shown them.
