"What's wrong, Clan Head of the Cao family? Already forgotten about me so soon?" Chu Feng smiled faintly, then swept his sleeves aside, flinging the robes from his body.
In that instant, Chu Feng not only revealed his true face, but bolts of lightning armor and lightning wings blazed into view, enveloping his entire body in radiant electrical brilliance.
"It's him?!"
Upon seeing Chu Feng, not only were the members of the Tang and Cao families struck with both shock and terror — even Elder Yuan Zhen of the Lu Yang Pavilion had his expression change dramatically as he shot to his feet in alarm.
"Those lightning armor and lightning wings…"
"That… that… that person is from a Heavenly Clan!!"
"Heavens, look at his age — he should still be the younger generation. A junior with cultivation at this level… which Heavenly Clan produced such a genius?"
At this moment, compared to the Tang and Cao families, many onlookers who didn't know the full story wore expressions of equal — if not greater — astonishment.
Most of them had no idea about the grudge between Chu Feng and the two families, but that did nothing to dampen their shock at seeing him.
After all, setting aside the mark of his Heavenly bloodline, the mere fact that someone so young possessed such powerful cultivation was enough to leave countless people in awe.
"Everyone, I imagine you still don't know who I am."
"In short, my name is Chu Feng. Not long ago, when the Cao family attacked the Tang family, I was invited by the young miss of the Tang family, Tang Ying, to fight on their behalf."
"In that battle, in order to protect the Tang family, I killed the Third Young Master of the Cao family, Cao Yuxuan."
"And precisely because of that, the Lu Yang Pavilion stepped in and intervened, demanding that both families set aside their personal grudges and join forces against me."
"As for the Tang family — for the sake of their own interests, they broke their word and turned on me."
"Tell me, does anyone think that's acceptable?" Chu Feng spread his hands and posed the question to the crowd.
By now, the onlookers were in an uproar, because what Chu Feng had said was simply too staggering.
The fact that Chu Feng had killed Cao Yuxuan alone was enough to shock everyone — after all, Cao Yuxuan's reputation was no laughing matter.
And that Chu Feng had killed Cao Yuxuan to help the Tang family, only for the Tang family to repay his kindness with betrayal — that was even more unbelievable to the crowd.
"Chu Feng, I never expected you to be so brazen as to come here alone." Suddenly, Elder Yuan Zhen let out a cold laugh.
He had indeed been startled when he first saw Chu Feng and felt a wave of tension, because he too was afraid — afraid that Chu Feng had brought reinforcements.
But after scrutinizing him and realizing that Chu Feng had no backup and had come entirely on his own, the tension immediately drained away, replaced by a mocking smile.
Because he could now confirm that Chu Feng was indeed the bastard child Chu Luyang had spoken of. Such bastards were common across the various Heavenly Clans, and they had absolutely no backing.
However, once Elder Yuan Zhen spoke, the expressions of the onlookers shifted yet again. After all, he had not denied anything Chu Feng said — and by not denying it, he was indirectly confirming the truth of Chu Feng's words.
The realization that Chu Feng had indeed killed that genius of the Cao family, Cao Yuxuan, and that the Tang family had repaid his kindness with such betrayal, left everyone deeply astonished.
"Heh…" Chu Feng chuckled as well. "To deal with all of you, one person is more than enough."
"What arrogant bluster." Elder Yuan Zhen snorted coldly, then turned to the two clan heads. "Tang Haichuan, Cao Kuofeng — I'm giving you two a chance to make up for this. Don't let him escape again."
"Rest assured, Elder. We absolutely will not give him the chance to flee."
Swoosh— Swoosh— Mid-sentence, Tang Haichuan and Cao Kuofeng each drew half-finished Ancestral weapons and lunged toward Chu Feng.
The moment they moved, a torrent of Ancestral-level martial force erupted outward in every direction.
At the same time, two incredibly powerful forces bore down on Chu Feng with crushing pressure.
Both forces were extraordinary — far from ordinary martial techniques. They had already surpassed Heavenly Forbidden martial techniques.
And when channeled through the half-finished Ancestral weapons, they transformed into two ferocious and colossal beasts. The beasts roared ceaselessly, as though they could devour everything before them, their might seemingly unstoppable.
Those were two Emperor Forbidden martial techniques — just as Chu Feng had anticipated. These two clan heads had indeed mastered Emperor Forbidden techniques. Though their mastery was not yet complete, they were nonetheless genuine Emperor Forbidden techniques.
"This sensation!!!"
"Could those be the legendary Emperor Forbidden martial techniques?!"
