"Who are you people? My Tianyang Sect has no grudge against you. Why have you come here to cause trouble and attack my people?" At that moment, Yan Yangtian stepped forward. As the Sect Master of the Tianyang Sect, he had to stand up at a time like this.
At the same time, the other powerhouses in the hall hurriedly surrounded Chu Feng and Zi Ling. Though Chu Feng's earlier attack had been formidable and his cultivation stood at the sixth level of Xuan Martial, he was still not someone to be taken lightly.
But in the end, he was just a teenager. There were plenty of people present who surpassed him in strength, and with Yan Yangtian — a first-level Heaven Martial expert — presiding over them, they weren't afraid of Chu Feng in the slightest.
On the contrary, having already taken a fancy to the beautiful Zi Ling, they were already planning to make sure neither Chu Feng nor Zi Ling would leave alive. They were determined to keep the lovely girl behind.
"This voice?" But just as Yan Yangtian's voice rang out, Chu Feng's brow furrowed slightly. When his gaze fell upon Yan Yangtian, his eyes lit up and his heart surged with joy. At the same time, a rage that had been suppressed deep in his heart for so long came flooding back.
Because Chu Feng recognized Yan Yangtian at a glance — the Sect Master of the Lingyun Sect, the very man who had razed the Azure Dragon Sect and nearly killed him.
"Yan Yangtian, do you still remember me?" Chu Feng suddenly shouted.
"You — who are you?" Upon hearing Chu Feng's voice, Yan Yangtian's expression changed involuntarily. The composure that had been on his face a moment ago was instantly replaced by utter shock.
He began to scrutinize Chu Feng once more, for that voice was so familiar — strikingly similar to someone he had known before. And that someone was the person he now feared most and least wanted to encounter.
"What? You don't remember? Shall I refresh your memory?" Chu Feng asked, slowly advancing toward Yan Yangtian as he spoke.
"It's you! How is this possible — you've changed your appearance!!" Finally, Yan Yangtian confirmed the voice, confirmed the tone, and was certain that the young man before him was none other than Chu Feng.
In that moment, the fear inside him surged to its absolute peak. His legs went weak and he nearly crumpled to the ground. Then, launching himself into the air, he tried to escape through the large hole that Chu Feng and Zi Ling had smashed through.
"You think you can escape?" Seeing this, Chu Feng willed his power, and his aura instantly surged to the eighth level of Xuan Martial. An invisible barrier erupted outward, sealing off the entire palace.
Yan Yangtian hadn't sensed the barrier Chu Feng had deployed and was fleeing with all his might. Who would have expected him to slam headfirst into an invisible wall? With a resounding bang, his head collided with the barrier. His mind went blank, and he crashed to the ground, blood streaming from his skull.
"Run! Everyone, run!" After hitting the ground, Yan Yangtian knew that catastrophe had arrived. Chu Feng had truly become as terrifying as the rumors claimed. He couldn't help but wave his arms wildly and shout to everyone in the hall.
"Sect Master Yan, what's wrong with you?" The confused crowd had no idea why Yan Yangtian was so terrified.
"Don't be afraid, Sect Master Yan! They're just a couple of kids. You don't need to lift a finger — we'll capture them alive for you."
"That's right! This brat is far too arrogant. He dared to beat Er Niu half to death and kick him where it counts. We have to make him wish he were dead."
"As for the girl, hehe... she's so beautiful — how could we bear to kill her? We've got to keep her and share her among ourselves. She's still young now, but once she grows up, she'll be even more irresistible."
These beasts had no idea their doomsday had already arrived, and they were still fantasizing about torturing Chu Feng and then having their way with Zi Ling.
"Run, you fools who don't know the meaning of death! Do you have any idea who he is? He's Chu Feng!!" Yan Yangtian roared at the top of his lungs.
"What? Chu Feng?"
