"You dare speak to me like this? You truly don't know the difference between life and death. Do you actually believe that just because you've temporarily attained the cultivation of a Ninth Level Martial Ancestor through some formation, you can truly stand against me?"
As the Ghost-Face Old Demon spoke, he unleashed a palm strike. Vast martial power surged toward Chu Feng, pressing down with crushing force.
Though this attack consisted of nothing more than raw martial power, the sheer destructive force it carried was several times greater than what he had unleashed moments ago when he'd tried to annihilate everyone present.
This made it clear that the Ghost-Face Old Demon was taking this strike quite seriously — it was no casual attack.
Boom!
Yet despite the Ghost-Face Old Demon's far more serious blow, Chu Feng merely raised his arm with a casual flick, neutralizing it as easily as swatting away a fly.
"Whether I can stand against you or not isn't your call to make — it's mine," Chu Feng said calmly after dispelling the attack.
"You!!!"
"Courting death!!!"
Seeing Chu Feng dare to provoke him, the Ghost-Face Old Demon's fury intensified manifold. His hands moved in sweeping motions, his sleeves whipping in the wind as tremendous martial power transformed into wave after wave of martial techniques. They rained down on Chu Feng in a relentless torrent, like a raging storm.
"Hmph."
Yet facing such a savage onslaught from the Ghost-Face Old Demon, Chu Feng merely let out a soft snort. Meeting force with force and answering each blow with his own, he launched a counterattack of equal ferocity.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the two clashed violently, and the intensity of their battle far surpassed anything seen before. Even though Chu Feng had been subtly dampening the power of the ripples, the resulting shockwaves were still absolutely terrifying.
Under these circumstances, the spectators had no choice but to retreat even further, putting as much distance between themselves and Chu Feng's group as possible. None of them wanted to be swept up in the shockwaves and meet a gruesome end.
"This is bad! Young friend Chu Feng may possess that legendary grand formation, but his opponent is the Ghost-Face Old Demon after all!!!"
"Who would have thought that Soul Refiner had the Ghost-Face Old Demon backing him? No wonder he was so brazenly arrogant, slaughtering innocents without a shred of fear."
Although the clash between Chu Feng and the Ghost-Face Old Demon appeared dead even, no one truly believed that Chu Feng could triumph over the Ghost-Face Old Demon.
Everyone broke into a cold sweat on Chu Feng's behalf, feeling that he was more likely than not doomed.
"Imperial Forbidden Blood Prison Art!"
The Ghost-Face Old Demon bellowed and unleashed an Imperial Forbidden martial technique.
This was the same Imperial Forbidden technique that Soul Refiner had used earlier — an incredibly powerful move that had served as his ultimate killing blow. Yet now, wielded by the Ghost-Face Old Demon, its power was several times greater than when Soul Refiner had employed it.
Setting aside the difference in cultivation alone, if Soul Refiner had mastered sixty percent of this Imperial Forbidden technique, then the Ghost-Face Old Demon had achieved a full hundred percent.
Crimson martial power sealed the sky and earth, transforming the battlefield into what seemed like a genuine hell — and the one who held dominion over life and death was the Ghost-Face Old Demon.
Terror and unease gripped every heart. Those who had chosen to stay and watch now deeply regretted it. Under the might of this technique, they could all feel the unmistakable touch of death.
It seemed the Ghost-Face Old Demon didn't just want to kill Chu Feng — he intended to use this very move to annihilate every single person present.
"Imperial Forbidden Firmament Transformation!!!"
Yet just when all seemed lost, Chu Feng roared. A split second later, he threw a single punch, and the sky itself cracked apart while the crimson fog retreated in disarray.
The Ghost-Face Old Demon's Imperial Forbidden technique was driven back by a single punch from Chu Feng.
"So powerful?!"
"The Imperial Forbidden Firmament Transformation — is that the Imperial Forbidden technique Chu Feng just used?"
