"Chu Feng... actually wounded Linghu Zhishi?"
"That's... that's just too incredible."
"Even if the Halberd of the Battle God boosted his cultivation, he's only at the second-tier Supreme realm, isn't he?"
The crowd was stunned. Had they not seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that Chu Feng had actually wounded Linghu Zhishi.
In truth, even Linghu Zhishi himself, upon looking at the wound on his body, was filled with disbelief.
In his view, cultivation boosted by a treasure could never compare to cultivation achieved through true training.
Just like Gu Mingyuan—she too had elevated her cultivation to the second-tier Supreme realm through the power of her bloodline.
Yet in Linghu Zhishi's eyes, she had been nothing more than an ant, utterly incapable of competing with him.
Even when Gu Mingyuan had consumed those forbidden medicines, he still hadn't put her in his sights.
So even though Chu Feng wielded the legendary weapon—the Halberd of the Battle God—Linghu Zhishi had not truly thought highly of him.
But this very person whom he had looked down upon had managed to inflict a grave wound on him with a single blow.
This left Linghu Zhishi not only surprised, but even more so—unable to endure it.
To him, it was humiliation.
"Chu Feng! I will tear you to pieces!!!"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Linghu Zhishi let out a furious roar.
He then produced a weapon and charged at Chu Feng.
It was an exceptional half-step Supreme Weapon.
At the Exalted realm, one could already harness the power of a half-step Supreme Weapon, but if it fell into the hands of someone at the Supreme realm, its power would undoubtedly be brought to an even greater extreme.
With this half-step Supreme Weapon in hand, Linghu Zhishi's combat strength surged dramatically.
Yet facing such an opponent, Chu Feng remained utterly fearless.
Gripping the Halberd of the Battle God, he charged forward.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
In an instant, deafening booms rang out in succession, and violent ripples of energy surged in every direction.
Chu Feng and Linghu Zhishi had clashed in battle.
Their fight had already surpassed the observation level of everyone present.
Among those present, aside from Gu Mingyuan, even an expert at the Supreme realm like Master Liangqiu could not follow the battle between Linghu Zhishi and Chu Feng.
In fact, even Gu Mingyuan could only see the rough outline, not the specific exchanges of blows.
"This kid Chu Feng—he's amazing."
Yet even from just the rough picture, Gu Mingyuan couldn't help but praise Chu Feng.
Because she could still tell that Chu Feng held the advantage. Throughout this entire battle, it had been Chu Feng who was suppressing Linghu Zhishi.
Even after Linghu Zhishi had drawn his half-step Supreme Weapon and begun unleashing martial arts techniques, he still couldn't gain the slightest edge against Chu Feng.
The Halberd of the Battle God had indeed granted Chu Feng tremendous power. That much was certain.
But the reason Chu Feng could maintain such an advantage was also inseparable from his own combat skill.
Gu Mingyuan even felt that Chu Feng hadn't used his full strength. Facing Linghu Zhishi—the strongest warrior in the current Ancestral Martial Star Domain—he was fighting with complete ease.
This led Gu Mingyuan to believe that, given sufficient cultivation, this fellow would be able to gain the upper hand against anyone.
And after seeing Chu Feng's dominance, joy wasn't the only thing that surfaced in Gu Mingyuan's eyes. A trace of frigid killing intent also emerged within them.
She directed that icy killing intent toward the Linghu Heavenly Clan's army.
"Linghu Heavenly Clan... it's time you paid the price."
As Gu Mingyuan spoke these words, she began walking toward the Linghu Heavenly Clan's army, and a long sword materialized in her hand.
"Gu Mingyuan, what are you doing?!"
Seeing Gu Mingyuan bearing down on them with such menacing presence, the Grand Elders of the Linghu Heavenly Clan all turned pale and hastily stepped in front of the clan's forces.
