"Haha."
Suddenly, Zhang Yanfeng laughed. His gaze toward Chu Feng turned deep and unfathomable.
"Fine, I accept your condition. However… whether you can take them away or not depends on your ability."
As his words fell, a blue radiance emanated from Zhang Yanfeng's body.
The light shifted and transformed into a creature.
Its horns resembled a deer's, its head a bull's, its belly a serpent's, its scales a fish's, its claws a phoenix's, its whiskers a man's, and its ears an elephant's.
This creature was a dragon!!!
The blue radiance coalesced into the phantom of a massive blue dragon.
Although it was merely a phantom, its imposing presence was tremendous — like a guardian deity shielding Zhang Yanfeng.
But the phantom only lasted an instant before it began to contract.
As it shrank, it transformed into a suit of blue armor that enveloped Zhang Yanfeng's body. On the chest of the armor sat a dragon's head, rendered so vividly it seemed alive.
Once the armor had fully formed, Zhang Yanfeng's cultivation had risen from first-rank Venerable to second-rank Venerable.
"That God-given power of yours is rather impressive," Chu Feng said.
Zhang Yanfeng flashed a smug smile, then raised his hand and pointed it at Chu Feng:
"Now let me see what you've got."
"Very well." The moment Chu Feng spoke, light erupted from his body. The silhouette of the Nine Dragon Holy Robe radiated outward from him.
Its might was every bit as formidable as Zhang Yanfeng's God-given power.
"Interesting."
"But whether you're the real deal or not — I'll have to test that myself."
Clang—
Zhang Yanfeng struck without hesitation. A spear of martial force materialized and shot toward Chu Feng.
Faced with such an attack, Chu Feng didn't even move. With a mere shift of will, the power of his holy-tier formation barrier likewise condensed into a spear and shot out to meet it.
Chu Feng's target was not Zhang Yanfeng himself, but the incoming spear of martial force.
Boom—
The two spears collided and instantly shattered. The ripples where martial force and formation power intertwined swept outward like a hurricane in all directions.
But this was only the beginning.
Zhang Yanfeng's hands moved through a series of seals, like a general commanding millions of troops, unleashing torrential martial force in an onslaught against Chu Feng.
And Chu Feng remained composed and calculated. No matter how powerful Zhang Yanfeng's attacks were, Chu Feng parried them all.
Moreover, Chu Feng was not merely defending — he wove offense into his defense, and defense into his offense.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I never would have believed that formation power could truly contend with martial force."
As the onlookers watched Chu Feng engage Zhang Yanfeng head-on without giving an inch, those who had heard of Chu Feng's strength but never witnessed his methods couldn't hide their admiration.
The people of the Upper Realm were even more stunned:
"Chu Feng… when did he become a Holy Robe Spirit World Master? He can actually go toe-to-toe with a second-rank Venerable?"
For these Upper Realm cultivators, while they had long known Chu Feng was a genius, their understanding of him was still stuck at what they had previously known.
They never imagined that Chu Feng had grown powerful to such a degree.
The shock to them was immense.
And it wasn't just them — even Zhang Shirui's expression had changed.
"Second Brother, Big Brother… he won't lose, right?" Zhang Shirui looked toward Zhang Boyi beside her. In her eyes, a look of deep worry had emerged.
She knew exactly how capable Zhang Yanfeng was. Though he was her own biological brother, there were times when she felt he was nothing short of a monster.
How strong the three siblings' talents truly were — even she didn't know. But the Blood Devouring Demon Clan regarded them as their hope, praising them as geniuses seen only once in ten thousand years.
This reputation had made Zhang Shirui extremely proud, yet even she believed that in terms of raw talent alone, she was far inferior to Zhang Yanfeng.
Zhang Yanfeng's talent wasn't merely reflected in the speed of his cultivation.
His skill and strategic thinking in martial combat were equally extraordinary.
Years ago, when the three siblings had just begun their cultivation and were still young, there had been no real gap between them.
Back then, all three had been at the same realm.
