"You've actually got the nerve to show your face, Chu Feng?" Upon catching sight of Chu Feng, the Ying Heavenly Clan elder immediately gnashed his teeth, a dense killing intent radiating from his eyes.
The look on his face made it seem as though he wanted to skin Chu Feng alive, tear out his bones, eat his flesh, and drink his blood — he truly hated Chu Feng to the very core.
However, Chu Feng didn't even spare that Ying Heavenly Clan elder a proper glance. With a casual flick of his arm— BOOM— A deafening explosion rang out. The Ying Heavenly Clan elder had been utterly obliterated, killed in an instant by Chu Feng.
"Run! Now!" At that moment, every last one of the Ying Heavenly Clan members turned deathly pale and fled without hesitation.
"Chu Feng, you can't let them get away!" Wang Qiang came running out at that point.
"It's fine. If they manage to bring back reinforcements, that's exactly what I want," Chu Feng said, utterly indifferent, paying no attention to the fleeing Ying Heavenly Clan members.
"Heh heh… th-that's right, you're th-the smart one," Wang Qiang replied. Hearing Chu Feng's words, he scratched his head and broke into a dopey grin.
Right now, with the Crystal Giant at their disposal and Chu Feng having seized control of the grand formation here, their combined strength was truly formidable.
Forget these Ying Heavenly Clan elders — even if the Ying Heavenly Clan's patriarch himself showed up, he might not necessarily be their match.
However many the Ying Heavenly Clan sent, that many would die. They had absolutely nothing to fear.
So if those fleeing Ying Heavenly Clan members went to report the situation and actually managed to bring the clan's experts back, it would amount to nothing more than sending them to their deaths.
"Are you all right?" Chu Feng walked over to Xu Yiyi and Song Biyu and asked with concern.
"Chu Feng, your cultivation!!!" Xu Yiyi's eyes went wide as saucers, clearly unable to accept the fact that Chu Feng now possessed such overwhelming power.
"This is achieved through a special technique — it isn't my true cultivation," Chu Feng told Xu Yiyi honestly.
"So it's not your real cultivation? But what kind of technique could possibly elevate one's cultivation to such a degree?"
"Either way, anyone capable of wielding such heaven-defying methods is no ordinary person."
"This Chu Feng really is extraordinary."
Upon learning that Chu Feng's current strength wasn't his true cultivation, the onlookers buzzed with discussion — yet not a single person dared to belittle Chu Feng.
After all, they had all witnessed the scene moments ago where Chu Feng obliterated the Ying Heavenly Clan elder with nothing more than a wave of his sleeve.
Though Chu Feng had killed with casual ease, in their eyes, his display was nothing short of domineering in the extreme.
"Chu Feng, I heard that Di Jiuzhou was killed by you. Is that true?" Song Biyu asked curiously.
"It's true," Chu Feng nodded.
"That's incredible! You have to understand — Di Jiuzhou was the strongest disciple among all our second-tier powers," Song Biyu exclaimed, her face lighting up with delight as adoration once again surfaced in her eyes.
At the same time, the looks the onlookers directed toward Chu Feng grew ever more reverent and respectful. Regardless of whether Chu Feng's current cultivation was real or not, the fact that he had killed Di Jiuzhou — that he had dared to kill Di Jiuzhou — was no small matter.
"Brother Kou Kang, are you still certain that your spar with Chu Feng ended in a draw?"
At that moment, several people sidled up to Kou Kang, their remarks dripping with mockery.
"Setting aside cultivation, even in terms of sheer courage he's miles apart from Chu Feng. Compared to Chu Feng, he simply doesn't measure up." More and more people began to ridicule Kou Kang.
One couldn't exactly blame them for being so fickle — seeing truly was believing.
Both had faced the Ying Heavenly Clan elder, yet Kou Kang had shown nothing but cowardice and spinelessness, so desperate to cling to his own life that he'd been willing to sell out his own sect.
Chu Feng, on the other hand, had been wild, domineering, decisive, and ruthless — annihilating the Ying Heavenly Clan elder with a single flick of his sleeve.
The gap between the two was simply too vast to even compare.
"You lot…"
Kou Kang's face had gone ashen, looking about as pleasant as if he'd just eaten dung.
