"Cut the crap. Today, I will avenge all those innocent people." Chu Feng had not originally harbored such intense hatred toward Zhan Cangtian. No matter how infamous or how deserving of death he might be, the atrocities he committed had not been done to Chu Feng personally.
So, in the past, had Chu Feng encountered Zhan Cangtian, he would certainly have killed him — but he would not have felt this level of hatred.
However, after hearing the Snow Blade Maniac's account, after learning that Zhan Cangtian had not spared even newborn infants, that he had defiled even young girls who had barely grown…
Chu Feng truly hated this beast to the marrow of his bones. He could not tolerate such a creature drawing breath in this world. He had to rid it for the sake of all living beings.
"Hahaha, good. You've got guts. Then come!"
"Today, I shall put an end to the Martial Holy Land's greatest genius!"
The Limitless Immortal laughed over and over. To him, fighting Chu Feng did not seem dangerous in the slightest — on the contrary, it appeared to be a source of great enjoyment.
But… despite the Limitless Immortal's unceasing laughter, the axe in his hand showed no mercy.
With every swing, he unleashed a martial skill — and not an ordinary one, but a forbidden martial technique. And in a single instant, he could swing thousands of times. In other words, he could unleash over a thousand forbidden martial techniques against Chu Feng in the blink of an eye.
Under such ferocious assault, Chu Feng was driven back step by step. Even though he had already deployed the Azure Dragon, Bai Hu, Zhu Que, and Xuan Martial — the four supreme secret techniques — to help himself counter the Limitless Immortal, he was still trapped in an absolute disadvantage.
"Damn it."
At that moment, Chu Feng's brows were tightly furrowed, and he could not help but curse aloud.
Chu Feng's true cultivation was that of a second-grade Martial Emperor. With his Thunder Wings and Thunder Armor, he could raise that to the fourth grade. On top of that, his heaven-defying battle power meant that ordinary sixth-grade Martial Emperors were no match for him — and even seventh-grade Martial Emperons could be fought using various means.
That was precisely why Chu Feng, though he had long suspected the Limitless Immortal, still dared to come alone and lure the Limitless Immortal into revealing his true face.
But this Limitless Immortal was clearly no ordinary seventh-grade Martial Emperor. Before this man, Chu Feng once again felt the same pressure he had experienced when fighting the Yin Yang Immortal.
"Not bad, not bad. You're only a second-grade Martial Emperor, yet you've been able to fight me — a proper seventh-grade Martial Emperor — for this long. I have to admit, Chu Feng, you are strong. Aside from the Palace Master, I truly have never seen anyone as powerful as you. You really are worthy of being a seed from beyond the heavens — truly exceptional." The Limitless Immortal's words sounded like praise, but they were drenched in mockery.
"The Palace Master? You serve the Dark Palace Master?" Hearing this, Chu Feng's expression shifted once more.
"Hahaha, Chu Feng, did you really think that the Heavenly Dao Palace and the Human King Palace would just hand over their secret techniques out of the blue for you to take?"
"Let me tell you — everything, every last bit of it, was arranged by the Palace Master. The Palace Master wanted to use you to unlock the treasure hidden within those secret techniques."
"Now do you see how weak you truly are? Compared to the others of the Martial Holy Land, you are indeed a heaven-blessed genius, a favored child of heaven. But compared to the Palace Master, you are nothing but a minor pawn. He has been pulling your strings the entire time, and you didn't even notice — still thinking you were something remarkable. How pathetic. How lamentable."
"The most pitiful thing isn't being ordinary and useless."
"It's possessing extraordinary strength, far beyond what common folk can muster, yet still being kept under someone's heel, played like a puppet."
"Chu Feng, now do you see just how pitiful you are?"
The Limitless Immortal pressed his fierce assault upon Chu Feng while heaping humiliation upon him with his words.
"No wonder he didn't kill me. He's been planning to use me all along." Chu Feng gritted his teeth in fury, his face flushed red, as though he were about to go mad.
