"I did everything. It has nothing to do with them. Let them go," Chu Feng said.
"I don't think you understand the situation."
"The one in control here is me. You have no right to negotiate with me."
When Linghu Mingye said that, the corners of his lips suddenly curled upward.
It was an exceptionally sinister smile.
Upon seeing that smile, Chu Feng realized that something terrible was about to happen — Linghu Mingye was going to make his move.
BOOM—
In an instant, Chu Feng's will surged, and the Fire Lin Armor covering his body erupted into flames. At the same time, a torrent of flames spread outward like volcanic magma gushing from an erupting volcano.
Bleagh—
However, the moment the flames began to spread, Chu Feng's mouth flew open and a massive mouthful of blood sprayed out.
At that moment, Chu Feng dropped to one knee. Not only had the flames dissipated, but even the Fire Lin Armor had lost its radiance.
"The Fire Lin Armor's power has already been completely drained by you. If you want to recover it, you'll need at least one more day. If you try to force it, you won't even need me to lift a finger — the Fire Lin Armor itself will kill you," Linghu Mingye said.
"You're that familiar with the Fire Lin Armor too?" Chu Feng's brow furrowed even deeper.
Looking at the Linghu Mingye before him, Chu Feng felt nothing but unease.
Because he could not see through this man at all. Linghu Mingye was simply like an enigma, possessing far too many things that others knew nothing about.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng himself was like a blank sheet of paper — every last one of his techniques and trump cards was laid bare before Linghu Mingye's eyes.
Such a vast disparity in knowledge made Chu Feng feel utterly powerless.
"Feeling powerless? Good — that's exactly how it should be. But don't worry, this is only the beginning. I'll make you feel more and more powerless."
As those words left his mouth, a dense killing intent surged forth from Linghu Mingye's eyes.
He was like a wild beast erupting from its cage. The calm he had shown before was nothing more than a harbinger of the coming storm.
In this moment, heaven and earth were filled with his rage and killing intent.
Everything was so terrifying — this was not like facing a man. This was a homicidal maniac.
This person must have drenched his hands in countless lives and possessed a heart as ruthless as they came. Otherwise, it would be impossible to exude such horrifying killing intent and fury.
AARGH—
Suddenly, Li Anzhi let out a wretched scream.
Li Anzhi had already been drawn before Linghu Mingye, and the Light Rune on his forehead was being extracted by Linghu Mingye.
"Li Anzhi, don't look at me with those hostile eyes. I haven't done anything to you — I'm simply abiding by the rules of this Holy Spirit Light Formation. You should be thanking me. Thanking me for being so merciful that I haven't directed my fury at your head, simply for associating with this Chu Feng."
Linghu Mingye looked at Li Anzhi and finished speaking in an incredibly eerie tone.
And the moment his words fell, the Light Rune was completely extracted from Li Anzhi and vanished within the Holy Spirit Light Formation.
Immediately after, Linghu Mingye seized the Light Runes of several other members of the Li Heavenly Clan.
Now, Linghu Mingye turned his gaze back to Chu Feng once more, sneering: "The real show can finally begin."
With that, Linghu Mingye swept his sleeve, and a peculiar pill furnace appeared before him.
This was no ordinary pill furnace — it was an Immortal Armament.
VMM—
Then, Linghu Mingye's gaze shifted, and the pill furnace rapidly expanded, transforming into a colossal hundred-meter-tall object.
At that moment, not only did the pill furnace pulse with flowing light, but intense heat radiated from within. This was no simple flame — it was fire condensed from the most pure Immortal-level martial force.
Once the Immortal Armament furnace had been activated, Linghu Mingye swept his sleeve once more.
Chu Qing, Chu Shuangshuang, Chu Haoyan, and Chu Huanyu were swept into the furnace by a violent gale.
AARGH—
In that instant, all four of them let out screams of unimaginable agony.
The Immortal Armament furnace was refining them — their skin was being burned away, their physical bodies being incinerated.
