"Come, let you and me settle all our past grievances today."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chengkun swept his sleeves wide and stepped into the void, leaving a footprint with each stride as he walked toward the red lizard with measured composure.
But as he swept his sleeves, a small crystal bowl slipped from his hand and flew toward Chu Feng.
After approaching Chu Feng, the small crystal bowl rapidly expanded from the size of a palm to the size of a washbasin. It hovered upside down above Chu Feng's head, slowly rotating.
As it rotated, a layer of faint light, like a luminous waterfall, poured down from within the bowl.
In the end, it formed a protective barrier that enveloped Chu Feng within.
"Chu Feng, hand over your life!!!"
Meanwhile, the other experts from the Luyang Pavilion moved in, surrounding Chu Feng on all sides. Each of them wielded a Half Ancestral Weapon and began launching attacks at Chu Feng.
Surging martial techniques, terrifying blades of light — every strike was incomparably powerful, and each posed a lethal threat to Chu Feng. If he were hit without any defense, even if he didn't die on the spot, he would suffer devastating injuries.
However, Chu Feng remained perfectly safe beneath the crystal bowl.
No matter how ferocious their attacks — let alone those of a Rank Seven Half Ancestor — even attacks from a Rank Eight or a Rank Nine Half Ancestor could not penetrate the defensive barrier formed by the crystal bowl.
This crystal bowl was a supreme defensive treasure. As long as Chu Feng remained within it, he was absolutely safe.
Unless... the red lizard made a move, none of the people from the Luyang Pavilion present could hope to harm Chu Feng.
It was just that the red lizard was far too preoccupied to deal with Chu Feng at the moment. He was locked in a fierce battle with Elder Liu Chengkun.
At this moment, the red lizard gripped a blood-red great saber in his hand. The saber measured ten meters in length and emanated an overwhelming stench of blood, as though it had been forged entirely from crimson blood itself.
Each swing unleashed a terrifying roar — for this, too, was a Half Ancestral Weapon, possessing tremendous power.
From the murmuring voices of the onlookers, Chu Feng learned that this saber was a renowned Half Ancestral Weapon known as the Hellblood Soul Saber.
Indeed, it was a saber forged from the condensation of countless drops of blood, which was why it carried such an overwhelming bloody aura and killing intent.
Furthermore, this Hellblood Soul Saber had been crafted by a demon beast Spirit World Master. As a result, if it fell into the hands of a demon beast, its power would surpass that of when it was wielded by a human.
As for Elder Liu Chengkun, he too had revealed his own Half Ancestral Weapon. However, compared to the red lizard's Half Ancestral Weapon, Elder Liu Chengkun's was far more unique.
It was actually a scroll painting. Within it was painted a vast ocean so vividly rendered that the waves appeared to churn and roll right within the scroll itself.
It was not held in his hand but rather unfurled, floating beside Elder Liu Chengkun like a living, serpentine dragon, fighting on his behalf.
From the chatter of the spectators, Chu Feng learned that Elder Liu Chengkun's Half Ancestral Weapon was equally impressive in origin.
It had been created by forcibly refining an actual ocean into the scroll. Thus, the sea within the painting was no illusion — it was a genuine, boundless ocean.
BOOM— BOOM— BOOM— The battle between the two grew ever more intense, perfectly matched in power. Yet Chu Feng's brow furrowed slightly.
With his keen perception and intuition, Chu Feng sensed that Elder Liu Chengkun was likely holding nothing back, having already displayed his full strength.
But as for the red lizard, Chu Feng couldn't shake the feeling that he still had cards left to play. If the red lizard truly unleashed his full power, Elder Liu Chengkun might not be able to withstand it.
