"Reverse battle power of three levels!!!" An experienced elder among the crowd uttered those words.
"What? He actually possesses reverse battle power three levels above his cultivation?"
Hearing this, the crowd finally understood — this was why Chu Feng, despite being at the same Half Ancestor realm, had been able to defeat the Lord's Manor disciple so effortlessly.
Reverse battle power of three levels. That was an extraordinary feat — power that defied the heavens.
And so, once the truth was revealed, the crowd's view of Chu Feng changed dramatically. That look of awe and reverence returned to their eyes once more.
Many even began to feel a chill of fear — fear born from their own ignorance. They were terrified that because they had insulted Chu Feng earlier, he might seek retribution.
"Reverse battle power of three levels. You two do have impressive combat ability, but unfortunately, your cultivation is far too weak." Di Jiuzhou smiled calmly. Compared to everyone else, he remained perfectly composed.
"Now, release my junior brother at once, then kneel and beg me for mercy. I might consider letting you live." Di Jiuzhou spoke to Chu Feng in a commanding tone.
Although Di Jiuzhou's words were incredibly arrogant, no one felt he was bluffing.
After all, Di Jiuzhou's cultivation was plain for all to see, and so was his strength. Even if Chu Feng had reverse battle power of three levels, even if he was a Half Ancestor — in everyone's eyes, Chu Feng could not possibly be a match for Di Jiuzhou.
However, just as everyone believed this clash would soon end with Chu Feng's defeat, Chu Feng did something that left every single person jaw-dropped.
Chu Feng's palm suddenly clenched tight. Then, with a muffled "bang," the Lord's Manor disciple in his grip exploded in a burst of blood and gore, his soul scattered — thoroughly and irreversibly dead.
"You!!!"
"How dare you kill someone from my Lord's Manor?!"
The Lord's Manor disciples stood frozen in shock. Beyond their fury, there was far greater astonishment.
They truly hadn't expected Chu Feng to dare kill that man. After all, he was a true disciple of the Lord's Manor, the personal disciple of the presiding elder. By killing him, Chu Feng was essentially declaring war on the Lord's Manor.
Yet Chu Feng's expression didn't change one bit. He spoke coldly: "I can tolerate those who bully me, Chu Feng."
"But those who bully my brothers — I will absolutely not let them off!"
BOOM— The moment those words left Chu Feng's mouth, nearly everyone present was stunned. Some felt as though their heads had simply exploded — they were that badly frightened.
It wasn't that they were cowardly. It was because Chu Feng's reputation had grown far too fearsome.
He was an Immortal-Robed Spirit World Master. He was an extraordinary genius.
Most importantly, he was the kind of person who would even dare to kill Ying Liangchen.
"Did you say you're Chu Feng?" Even Di Jiuzhou's expression changed at that moment, his gaze toward Chu Feng turning grave.
"That's right." As he spoke, Chu Feng removed the bamboo hat from his head and stored it in his Universe Bag.
"It really is him?!"
Seeing Chu Feng's true face, the already-panicked crowd trembled even more violently.
The Ying Heavenly Clan had already released Chu Feng's portrait to the world. Nearly everyone here knew what he looked like.
Just knowing that the person standing before them was truly the dreaded figure who dared kill Ying Liangchen — how could they not be afraid?
Setting aside everyone else, even the Lord's Manor disciples' faces turned pale, and they couldn't help but step back. Forget about fighting him — just his reputation alone was enough to fill them with terror.
"Ha ha ha!!!"
Yet, while most people were gripped by fear of Chu Feng, Di Jiuzhou burst into hearty laughter.
"Excellent. Chu Feng — you're the one I've been looking for." As Di Jiuzhou spoke, his God-Given Divine Power surged forth. His cultivation instantly rose from seventh level Half Ancestor to eighth level Half Ancestor, and at the same time, the might of reverse battle power of two levels emanated from his body.
At this moment, Di Jiuzhou's true combat power was already comparable to that of an ordinary first level Martial Ancestor.
