Watching Chu Feng actually kill Cao Yuxuan, everyone's expressions froze. Whether it was the Cao Family or the Tang Family, every single person stood rooted to the spot.
In that instant, it was as if the air itself had solidified.
Tang Ying, standing behind Chu Feng, was especially terrified. Her small face had gone deathly pale, and her mouth hung open in shock, unable to close.
"NO!!!!!!!!"
After a brief moment of silence, the Cao Family's head let out a hysterical, agonized roar.
After all, Cao Yuxuan had been the Cao Family's most brilliant genius in years. Nearly everyone in the Cao Family had pinned their hopes on him, expecting that one day he would elevate the Cao Family to become a dominant power.
But now, Cao Yuxuan had been killed. That meant the Cao Family's hope had been erased. This was a result the Cao Family could not accept, nor would they accept.
"You animal! I will tear you to pieces today!!!"
After his mournful wailing, the Cao Family's head erupted with murderous intent that soared into the sky. He paid no mind to the Tang Family's head. His figure turned, and he launched himself toward Chu Feng, intent on slaying him.
Whoosh—
But the moment the Cao Family's head moved, a figure charged after him, launching a lethal attack.
This was none other than the Tang Family's head.
"Tang Haichuan! My son was a personal disciple of the Luyang Pavilion's Master! Now that he has been killed, are you going to shelter his murderer?!"
"Can your Tang Family bear the weight of that responsibility?!" the Cao Family's head shouted after being blocked, resorting to threats by invoking the Luyang Pavilion.
After all, he knew that if the Tang Family's head refused to back down, he would have no chance of killing Chu Feng. And with Chu Feng's strength being so overwhelming, if Chu Feng aided the Tang Family in continuing to slaughter the Cao Family's people, his entire clan might be annihilated here today.
"You are the great enemy of my Cao Family. Even without Young Friend Chu Feng, I would still kill you — let alone the fact that Chu Feng is an honored guest of my Tang Family," the Tang Family's head said.
"If you insist on this, then your Tang Family can die alongside that animal!" Seeing that his threats were useless, the Cao Family's head began launching savage attacks against the Tang Family, determined to drag them down with him in a fight to the death.
"Tang Family warriors, heed my command! Kill every last one of these Cao Family invaders!" The Tang Family's head, having clearly made up his mind, gave the order. The Tang Family's fighting spirit surged, and they plunged once more into a fierce battle with the Cao Family.
"Chu Feng, you should leave quickly."
"Cao Yuxuan's identity is truly extraordinary. If people from the Luyang Pavilion arrive, you'll be in serious trouble," Tang Ying urged Chu Feng.
"Want to leave? I'm afraid it's too late for that." Just then, an aged voice suddenly rang out. At the same time, the figure of an elder appeared before Chu Feng.
This elder had jet-black hair and a hideous, terrifying face. His eyes in particular were brimming with killing intent. At first glance, he hardly looked human — he looked like a ghost.
When this elder appeared, Chu Feng's brow furrowed slightly. Not only was this elder's aura formidable — he was a Rank Seven Half Ancestor — but the robes he wore were those of the Luyang Pavilion.
Clearly, this was someone from the Luyang Pavilion.
"Tang Haichuan, Cao Kuofeng! How much longer are the two of you going to keep fighting each other?!" The elder let out a thunderous shout the moment he appeared. The void itself trembled, and echoes reverberated endlessly.
