"I said, I'm going to kill you." Chu Feng repeated himself.
He said it so casually, yet the moment those words reached the crowd's ears, every person shuddered and their faces froze.
Although many of them had not personally witnessed Chu Feng killing Xianyu Yin, they had heard about the incident. After Chu Feng killed Xianyu Yin, he had clearly turned and fled immediately, scared witless by Xianyu Yin's uncle. It was only because the Weapon Refining Immortal intervened that Chu Feng was saved — otherwise, he would have been killed by Xianyu Yin's uncle long ago.
So what was this now? He was claiming he had let Xianyu Yin's uncle off the hook? Wasn't that the most brazen boast they had ever heard?
"Chu Feng, have you lost your mind, daring to say something like that to me?"
"If the Weapon Refining Immortal hadn't intervened before, you would have died at my hands long ago. Kill me? As if you're worthy!" Xianyu Yin's uncle bellowed.
"Why don't you try it and find out whether I'm worthy or not?" Chu Feng looked utterly unconvinced, and the gaze he directed at Xianyu Yin's uncle was filled with sheer contempt.
"Insolent wretch! If I don't tear you to shreds today, then I don't deserve to call myself an Ancient Spirit!"
Suddenly, Xianyu Yin's uncle made his move. Though it was called a move, he hadn't actually lifted a finger — through sheer force of will alone, surging martial power obeyed his command and swept toward Chu Feng in an overwhelming torrent.
Everything happened too fast. At that moment, aside from those at the sixth level of Martial Emperor, many people hadn't even reacted. Yet there were still plenty of people standing on either side of Chu Feng, and all of them could feel the overwhelming killing intent bearing down on them.
If this strike landed, not only would Chu Feng be done for — many others would be buried alongside him. Even someone like Elder Huang Guan, who had the ability to withstand the blow, wouldn't dare step in to block it. His only choice would be to flee on his own.
"Scatter!" But at that very moment, lightning crackled in Chu Feng's eyes. Thunder Wings and Thunder Armor manifested simultaneously.
Chu Feng didn't move either — he simply let out a furious shout. The instant that roar erupted, Xianyu Yin uncle's attack transformed into rolling ripples that surged and churned before Chu Feng, yet couldn't advance a single inch.
It had been blocked. Xianyu Yin uncle's attack had been blocked by Chu Feng.
In that instant, every person present was stunned, their jaws dropping, because they all realized that Chu Feng's aura at this moment was that of a fourth-level Martial Emperor.
It was well known that Chu Feng's Thunder Armor and Thunder Wings could elevate his cultivation by two full levels. By that calculation, Chu Feng's true cultivation was not what those people had claimed — a first-level Martial Emperor — but rather a second-level Martial Emperor.
Yet even if Chu Feng was a second-level Martial Emperor who had boosted his cultivation to the fourth level through these two methods, he still shouldn't have been any match for a sixth-level Martial Emperor.
But just moments ago, the instant Chu Feng released his pressure, everyone had felt that his aura was actually more terrifying than Xianyu Yin uncle's.
How was this possible?
"Elder friend Chu Feng, could it be that you possess the power to fight above your level?" This time, it was Elder Huang Guan who spoke up.
"That's right. As Senior can see, I do indeed possess power that transcends my realm," Chu Feng nodded.
"What? Transcendent combat power? Chu Feng actually has transcendent combat power?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd — already stunned beyond belief — was now even more dumbfounded. It wasn't that they were particularly ignorant; it was simply that transcendent combat power was far too terrifying.
An ordinary Martial Emperor only possessed the ability to fight three levels above their cultivation. Fighting even one level above was already the stuff of legends. If Chu Feng truly possessed transcendent power that far exceeded that, then he was utterly one of a kind.
At that moment, let alone the others — even the way Xianyu Yin's uncle looked at Chu Feng had changed.
