Chu Feng turned his gaze backward and spotted several hundred figures in the distant sky, hurtling toward him at breakneck speed.
Each of those figures was riding a horse-like creature — though it was neither a horse nor a demon beast. It appeared to be some kind of special mount, one whose speed was astonishing, reaching the level of a Half Ancestor.
That was why, despite shouting at Chu Feng from far away, they had already closed to within ten thousand meters in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, are you blind? We told you to get out of the way — didn't you hear?" A woman at the forefront of the group shouted furiously at Chu Feng.
She looked to be only eighteen or nineteen, her features still youthful and delicate, with a touch of beauty — though her eyes were filled with hostility.
This woman was utterly beneath Chu Feng's notice. She was only a first-tier Martial Emperor. Such cultivation was impressive for someone her age, but against Chu Feng, she was not even worth a flick of his wrist.
Though she herself was weak, the group accompanying her was anything but.
Most were peak Martial Emperors, but among them were no shortage of Half Ancestors as well. The strongest were two white-haired elders.
The two elders looked identical — clearly twin brothers. Though their clothing was plain, it could not conceal their extraordinary bearing. Both were sixth-tier Half Ancestors.
"Is this your private road? You say get out of the way, and I'm supposed to comply?"
"The sky is vast enough for everyone. There are countless paths to take, yet you insist on coming right through where I'm standing. Are you out of your minds?" Chu Feng finally retorted.
Even though the other side had two sixth-tier Half Ancestors.
Even though they had formidable momentum and almost certainly hailed from a powerful faction — Chu Feng was not intimidated.
He didn't like stirring up trouble, but he had never been afraid of it either. When someone was this obviously looking for a fight, he had no intention of swallowing his pride.
"Oh my, you've got quite the death wish, haven't you? Do you have any idea who I am?"
"Kneel down — or I'll break both your legs!" The woman raised her whip and lashed it toward Chu Feng.
Snap — The two sides were separated by ten thousand meters, so the whip could never physically reach him. But the martial power it summoned materialized into a golden lash stretching ten thousand meters long, like a colossal dragon hurtling toward Chu Feng.
But could an attack like that possibly harm Chu Feng?
"Hmph."
Chu Feng stood rooted to the spot without so much as flinching. He merely let out a cold snort.
Whoosh — In that instant, the pressure of a first-tier Half Ancestor swept outward. The golden whip stretching ten thousand meters long was instantly shattered to fragments by Chu Feng's aura.
"First-tier Half Ancestor?"
Sensing Chu Feng's aura, many among the group changed expressions. Even the two lofty white-haired elders turned their gaze toward him, a flicker of surprise in their eyes.
They clearly had not expected someone of Chu Feng's age to possess such cultivation.
"He dared to offend my sister — cripple him!" But a broad-shouldered, dark-haired man let out a furious roar.
The moment those words left his mouth, every Half Ancestor-level expert beside the two white-haired elders unleashed a chilling killing intent — they were preparing to move against Chu Feng.
They were preparing to kill him.
ROOAR — But just then, from deep within the Radiant Immortal Mountain, a piercing, furious roar suddenly erupted.
The moment that sound carried over, the mountains and rivers shook, and countless birds took flight in a spectacular display.
"That's a Ghostfiend Beast."
"Go!!"
Seeing this, the broad-shouldered man at the front bellowed, slapped his mount hard, and charged madly toward the source of the roar.
"Hyah!!!"
