"Tuoba Cheng'an, you shouldn't have laid a hand on my friend."
Seeing the sharp, killing intent filled eyes of Chu Feng, Tuoba Cheng'an's heart tightened.
He was actually afraid.
As the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Gate Sect.
As one of the most powerful figures in the entire Heavenly Gate Sect, second only to one and above ten thousand.
He was actually afraid when facing a junior.
Even he himself found it hard to believe.
But he had no choice but to accept it.
Because he could feel that the power Chu Feng currently wielded was something he simply could not contend with.
Under these circumstances, he really wanted to shout at Chu Feng.
It was the Blood Fog Heavenly Venerable who attacked, not him!
BOOM—
But just then, Chu Feng had already made his move.
Chu Feng raised his palm, and the power that had been enveloping his body surged out like floodwaters breaking through a dam, erupting from within him.
Once released, that power transformed into a colossal palm, as large as a mountain peak.
It swept through the air, and even the void trembled violently in its wake.
And that terrifying energy palm was hurtling straight toward Tuoba Cheng'an.
The instant they saw that energy palm.
The members of the Heavenly Gate Sect turned pale with fear, as though their very souls had been torn from their bodies in that moment.
They could all feel the dread of that energy palm. In their eyes, the power hidden within it was enough to annihilate all of them.
All... of... them!!!
RUMBLE—
But suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted.
The powerful energy palm shattered into countless fragments of energy, splitting apart and blooming across the void like a golden ocean in a dazzling display.
It was a crimson aura.
At that moment, a streak of red aura spiraled before the energy palm.
It was precisely this crimson aura that had blasted apart Chu Feng's energy palm.
And that power had come from the blood-colored whisk in the Blood Fog Heavenly Venerable's hand.
"Brat, don't you go thinking you're the only one who's obtained the power of the formation here," the Blood Fog Heavenly Venerable said to Chu Feng.
After saying those words, the Blood Fog Heavenly Venerable turned toward Tuoba Cheng'an.
"Elder Tuoba, the battle that's about to unfold may not be something you all can withstand."
"You should leave this place first."
"The formation power this boy has obtained is indeed quite formidable."
"But that power can only be used in the vicinity of this Demon-Slaying Emperor's tomb. If you distance yourselves from here, he won't be able to do a thing to you."
"And should he leave this place, he'll lose the formation's power entirely and won't be able to contend with you. So he won't dare chase after you," the Blood Fog Heavenly Venerable told Tuoba Cheng'an.
"Heavenly Venerable, then I'll leave this place in your hands."
"As long as you deal with this boy and recover the treasure, we can increase the reward," Tuoba Cheng'an said.
After finishing his words, Tuoba Cheng'an promptly turned and fled.
He actually led the entire Heavenly Gate Sect away in retreat.
And their wretched, panicked appearance was something even the members of the Heavenly Gate Sect themselves could scarcely believe.
They, the elite forces of the esteemed Heavenly Gate Sect, had been scared witless by a junior.
Yet even as they fled in disarray.
Chu Feng had no intention of letting them go.
"Don't even think about leaving."
Chu Feng let out a furious roar.
The vast power surged from his body once more.
This time, the power transformed into an army of thousands and tens of thousands, charging after Tuoba Cheng'an.
BOOM BOOM BOOM—
But that army exploded in midair.
It turned out a torrential rain of blood-colored arrows had swept through the ranks.
It was the Blood Fog Heavenly Venerable again.
The Blood Fog Heavenly Venerable had intercepted Chu Feng's attack once more.
And in that brief window of time, Tuoba Cheng'an had already disappeared into the distance with the rest of the Heavenly Gate Sect.
"You're truly courting death."
Chu Feng turned his gaze toward the Blood Fog Heavenly Venerable, his eyes brimming with killing intent.
