"Chu Feng, I will tear you to shreds!!!"
Suddenly, a furious roar erupted as two Ximen Imperial Clan Supreme Elders charged toward Chu Feng, using the Imperial Dragon Seal to carve their path.
Their killing intent was immense—it didn't feel like two old men attacking, but rather two gods of death.
Upon seeing this, the spirit beings guarding Chu Feng rushed to intercept them. However, the two Ximen Supreme Elders had become extraordinarily fierce in their fury, and even the spirit beings of the Immortal Spirit World could not suppress them—they could only pour every ounce of their strength into holding back the assault.
It was clear that the Ximen Clan Master's death at Chu Feng's hands had truly struck the Supreme Elders' most sensitive nerve. They were fighting as though they didn't care about their own lives, determined to kill Chu Feng no matter the cost, and their combat power had actually surged considerably under the rush of rage.
Yet just as the spirit beings managed to hold the line against those two Supreme Elders, yet another Ximen Imperial Clan Supreme Elder stepped out from the void.
When he emerged, he was less than a thousand meters from Chu Feng—he had broken through the spirit beings' defensive line entirely, and at that distance, he could easily strike Chu Feng down.
"I want you dead!!!" That Supreme Elder's eyes burned crimson, killing intent so overwhelming it seemed he would devour Chu Feng alive.
BOOM— At the instant he appeared, a powerful palm struck downward.
As his hand descended, a tremendous wave of martial power surged forth like golden auspicious clouds rolling across the heavens. Under the impact of that force, Chu Feng's Profound Dark Abyss Kill warped and twisted before being blasted apart entirely.
It was terrifying. After all, the opponent was a fourth-stage Martial Emperor. No matter how heaven-defying Chu Feng's techniques might be, they couldn't withstand a casual strike from that level. In that moment, Chu Feng tasted the scent of death.
"He's not dying just yet."
But just then, a voice suddenly rang out, and simultaneously, the scent of death that had engulfed Chu Feng vanished in an instant—the Supreme Elder's attack had been blocked.
Right after, an aged figure materialized before the Ximen Supreme Elder, standing between them. The Compass Immortal—this newcomer was none other than the Compass Immortal.
"Compass, you again!!!" The Ximen Supreme Elder was truly beside himself with rage. Seeing the Compass Immortal ruin his plans made him gnash his teeth so hard they cracked.
"If you want to kill my disciple, you'll have to get through his Master first," the Compass Immortal said with a cheerful smile.
"Then I'll kill you first!" The Ximen elder's killing intent had been building since long ago. He wasted no more words and immediately swung his weapon, launching an attack at the Compass Immortal.
As for the Compass Immortal, though he wore a smile, a tremendous killing intent also surged within his eyes. Every move was ruthless and utterly without mercy—a true dagger hidden behind a smile.
"Come, keep going."
Chu Feng now turned his gaze once more toward the Nangong Clan Master, the Dongfang Clan Master, and the Beitang Clan Master.
"..."
Yet faced with such brazen provocation from Chu Feng, these three lofty clan masters not only dared not accept the challenge—they retreated in haste.
Having witnessed Chu Feng slay the Ximen Clan Master with their own eyes, they were now absolutely certain they were no match for him. If they continued fighting, they would die too.
But the sight of all three clan masters shrinking back was caught by the onlookers, and their feelings grew tangled. They had originally given Chu Feng no chance against the four Imperial Clan masters.
But now, one had been killed, and the other three were being frightened into retreating by Chu Feng—truly, they didn't know what to say.
"Hmph. Trash," Chu Feng scoffed with a cold laugh. Then, with a turn of his body, he dissolved into the air and vanished—not pressing the attack, but departing instead.
Seeing Chu Feng leave, the three clan masters were stunned. They had been scanning the surrounding space with sharp awareness, and after Chu Feng merged into the void, he hadn't moved to attack them at all, but instead drifted off into the distance.
They couldn't quite figure it out. No one was stopping Chu Feng now—why wouldn't he press his advantage and finish them off? Why leave instead?
CLANG— Yet shortly after Chu Feng departed, atop the city wall where Baili Xuankong and the rest of the Azure Wood Mountain group hung suspended, a flash of cold light swept through. Every cold-iron chain binding Baili Xuankong and the others was severed in an instant.
The suspended Azure Wood Mountain captives all tumbled to the ground, their freedom restored.
"Elders, I'm sorry you've been put through this." And after that flash of cold light passed, Chu Feng's figure appeared right beside Baili Xuankong and the others.
