"You're courting death?"
"If you consider what I'm doing right now to be courting death, then I can only say I do things like this all the time."
"But can you blame me? I'm a martial cultivator. I can't stand bullies who prey on the weak — especially scum who prey on women."
"A piece of trash like you, I, Chu Feng, see one and beat one."
Chu Feng gazed at Yin Tianchou with undisguised contempt.
"So it's because of that woman?"
But after hearing Chu Feng's words, Yin Tianchou not only didn't grow angrier — his mood actually calmed somewhat.
"Brother, do you know who I am? Have you considered whether making an enemy of me for her sake is worth it?"
Yin Tianchou asked. He assumed Chu Feng had no idea who he was, which was the only explanation for his inability to read the situation.
"Fire Yanluo's disciple. Yin Tianchou."
Chu Feng replied.
"Oh? So you know who I am, and you still dare to oppose me?"
Yin Tianchou's gaze locked onto Chu Feng, his eyes full of surprise. He hadn't expected Chu Feng to know his identity and still choose to stand against him.
"You seem to have some reputation in the Nine Soul Starfield."
"But that won't stop me from killing you — especially here. After all, even if I kill you, no one will know it was me."
The moment Chu Feng finished speaking, a tremendous surge of barrier power erupted outward, passing through the forest and penetrating deep into the earth, sealing off this stretch of heaven and earth.
More precisely, it wasn't barrier power — it was a barrier array. A isolation array. Chu Feng didn't want anyone to see his confrontation with this Yin Tianchou.
"Dragon Transformation Third Level?"
Yin Tianchou sensed Chu Feng's barrier technique and was already able to gauge his level of strength.
But who would have guessed that Chu Feng simply smiled faintly: "Dragon Transformation Second Level."
"Dragon Transformation Second Level? Are you trying to fool a ghost?"
"Power like this — only a Dragon Transformation Third Level could achieve it."
Yin Tianchou said.
"That's because your strength isn't sufficient. The fact that you can't do it doesn't mean I can't."
Chu Feng retorted sarcastically.
"Interesting, very interesting. No wonder you had the nerve to challenge me, Yin Tianchou — so you're a Dragon Transformation Third Level as well."
"In that case, I might as well tell you the truth."
"The truth is, even if you had obediently handed over that key just now, I still wouldn't have let you go."
"You and that woman — from the moment you encountered me, you were both doomed to die."
"But now, this is actually more entertaining for me."
"Killing a fierce tiger is far more interesting than killing a chicken."
As Yin Tianchou spoke, a wicked grin curved across his lips, and killing intent blazed openly in his eyes.
If before, he had only donned the guise of a sheep for amusement, then now he was revealing his true, savage nature.
As for Chu Feng, he showed not the slightest trace of fear.
Though prior to this, Chu Feng had no grudge against this Yin Tianchou, the moment he saw the wretched state of that woman, he had decided to take Yin Tianchou's life right here.
Chu Feng never claimed to be a righteous man, but when he encountered this kind of vicious criminal, he never showed mercy.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM—
Suddenly, savage barrier power materialized out of thin air, shifting through countless transformations as it formed a sky full of attacks that crashed against one another. Chu Feng and Yin Tianchou had already engaged in battle.
Though the array restricted them to barrier techniques alone — neither could use conventional martial force — the might they unleashed was still extraordinarily fierce.
The woman in the sack had finished healing her injuries and was preparing to flee the area, but when she witnessed the overwhelming power before her, she froze.
"Who... who is he?"
"How can he be... how can he be this powerful?"
Her gaze remained fixed unblinkingly on Chu Feng.
She had long heard just how formidable Yin Tianchou was — a man capable of using his Dragon Transformation Third Level strength to effortlessly defeat cultivators at the Sixth Level Supreme Realm. Yet now, this utterly unfamiliar figure called Chu Feng was displaying combat power that was in no way inferior to Yin Tianchou's.
