Whoosh—
But just as Chu Feng managed to steady himself, Jiang Yuantai was already charging at him once more, long spear in hand.
Chu Feng dodged again.
And Jiang Yuantai attacked again.
Just like before, Chu Feng evaded the first strike, but once the distance closed and his reaction time was cut short, he found himself unable to dodge Jiang Yuantai's second blow.
All he could do was raise his sword to block.
Clang—
Another ear-splitting boom rang out as violent ripples tore through the sky above Sikong.
And once again, Chu Feng was sent flying through the air.
But this time, the hand gripping his sword trembled far more noticeably.
"Hey, kid from the Nine Souls Galaxy — why is your hand shaking? Can't even hold your sword steady?"
Mocking laughter rang out from the members of the Alchemy Immortal Sect.
Although Chu Feng quickly got his hand under control, the Alchemy Immortal Sect members had already noticed. That was to be expected — most of them were peak Martial Ancestors, and some were even half-god realm cultivators.
With their level of cultivation, they could naturally catch every detail of the battle between the two.
"I'm not from the Nine Souls Galaxy. This young master hails from the Ancestral Martial Galaxy."
Chu Feng snorted coldly, as if declaring that he was about to fight back.
And sure enough, right after those words left his mouth, he launched his counterattack.
With sword in hand, he charged straight at Jiang Yuantai.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuantai simply stood his ground, perfectly still, calmly waiting for Chu Feng to arrive.
His face was not only brimming with disdain but also radiating utter confidence.
As if he already knew that he stood in an invincible position!
Whoosh—
Though it was a wooden sword, the moment Chu Feng thrust it forward, it unleashed a torrent of bone-piercing cold.
"That kid."
In that instant, every member of the Alchemy Immortal Sect realized that Chu Feng was not to be underestimated. The sheer force behind this single thrust was something that no ordinary fourth-grade Martial Ancestor could possibly achieve.
Though they were competing with purely raw combat power, there was no denying that Chu Feng was a formidable close-range fighter.
Yet what no one expected was that this very strike — the one that had left even the Alchemy Immortal Sect members in awe — was one Jiang Yuantai didn't even bother dodging.
He simply raised his long spear and swept it sideways against Chu Feng's incoming blade.
Clang—
As ripples of devastation tore outward, Chu Feng's thrusting sword was batted aside just like that.
In truth, it wasn't just the sword that was deflected — Chu Feng himself was sent tumbling away.
And Jiang Yuantai hadn't moved an inch.
"Incredible."
A brief exchange was enough to make the experts of the Nine Souls Galaxy furrow their brows deeply.
Even Granny Wishing God and Fairy Dao Hai, who knew full well how powerful Chu Feng was, found themselves losing confidence as they watched Jiang Yuantai.
They were all martial cultivators, and they could feel it — Jiang Yuantai's strength was genuinely extraordinary.
At least for now, even Chu Feng appeared to be at a significant disadvantage compared to Jiang Yuantai.
"So without your martial skills, this is all you've got?"
Jiang Yuantai looked at Chu Feng with contempt — the gaze of the strong looking down upon the weak.
Facing that look, Chu Feng's sharp brows shot upward, and a clear blaze of fury surged in his eyes.
Whoosh—
Biting cold exploded forth as Chu Feng drove his sword forward once more.
Perhaps fueled by rage, this strike was faster and fiercer than any before it.
Clang—
But Jiang Yuantai merely swept his spear in a wide arc, not only knocking Chu Feng's incoming blade aside once again, but sending him flying even farther than before.
"Boring."
This brief exchange made Jiang Yuantai realize just how vast the gap between him and Chu Feng truly was, and it drained whatever patience he still had for toying with his opponent.
The very moment he knocked Chu Feng away, he stepped forward and rushed toward him at blinding speed.
He… wanted to end this pointless fight.
He was incredibly fast — almost the instant Chu Feng managed to steady himself, Jiang Yuantai was already upon him.
Whoosh—
But just as Jiang Yuantai launched his attack, the sword in Chu Feng's hand suddenly came slashing down toward him.
This strike was blindingly fast — far quicker than anything Chu Feng had shown before.
Jiang Yuantai's pupils contracted. Not daring to be careless, he had no choice but to pull his already-thrown spear back to defend.
Fortunately, he managed to bring the spear up above his head just before the blade came crashing down.
Clang—
