"This guy Chu Feng — how can he be this monstrous?"
Yet while everyone was cheering and celebrating Chu Feng's overwhelming power, Kou Kang wore a bitter scowl on his face.
He hadn't stayed behind at the risk of his own life just to witness some miracle. He wanted to watch Chu Feng die a horrible death here — only that could vent the hatred in his heart.
But what was this situation now? Fine, so Chu Feng could defeat the Soul Refiner — after all, the grand formation he commanded was truly formidable.
But to think that he could now fight the legendary Ghost-Face Old Demon head-on? That was something Kou Kang simply could not accept.
What kind of formation was this, to actually be able to rival the Ghost-Face Old Demon?
After all, the Ghost-Face Old Demon was one of the most pinnacle figures in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm — a true powerhouse. Forget mere juniors; even the Valley Master of Luoxia Valley or the Sect Master of Three Star Hall were a tier below the Ghost-Face Old Demon.
In theory, this was an existence that juniors could never hope to reach, a being that should have been godlike.
Yet here was such an individual, locked in a fierce battle with Chu Feng that neither could break. Kou Kang truly could not accept this.
Because the stronger Chu Feng was, the weaker it made Kou Kang look. And such a glaring contrast only made him feel ever more insignificant — like a clown.
Boom—
Right at that moment, the Ancestral Weapon in the Ghost-Face Old Demon's hand trembled slightly, and a terrifying wave of pressure radiated outward. The moment it was released, heaven and earth shook violently.
The tremor was truly immense. Everyone present was a cultivator, and many were even experts, yet under that single tremor, nearly everyone — except for Chu Feng — swayed wildly, struggling to keep their footing. Some even lost their ability to hover in the air.
At the same time, the Ghost-Face Old Demon's combat power surged dramatically. The might of the Ancestral Weapon had finally revealed itself.
"Hsss—"
When they truly felt the power of the Ancestral Weapon, many people on the scene involuntarily drew a sharp breath. Xu Yiyi and the others especially showed deep worry on their faces, breaking into a cold sweat for Chu Feng.
Because they had suddenly realized — the Ghost-Face Old Demon had an Ancestral Weapon to boost his combat power, but Chu Feng most likely did not. After all, Chu Feng's true cultivation was only at the Half Ancestor level, a realm fundamentally incapable of commanding a true Ancestral Weapon.
Looking at it that way, it seemed Chu Feng would have a very hard time defeating the Ghost-Face Old Demon. The power of an Ancestral Weapon was incomparably greater than that of a half-formed one — the difference was enormous.
So everyone felt they had celebrated too early and had underestimated the Ghost-Face Old Demon's true strength.
"Heh heh, Chu Feng — you must be getting a little nervous now, aren't you?"
While everyone else was consumed with worry, Kou Kang's heart bloomed with delight.
He too had felt the terrifying power of the Ancestral Weapon. It was genuinely horrifying, and so he believed that Chu Feng, without one of his own, could no longer rival the Ghost-Face Old Demon.
Gloating inwardly, he turned his gaze toward Chu Feng's face, eager to witness that grim expression up close.
But then — one look was all it took. The smile that had just blossomed on Kou Kang's face froze instantly.
Because Chu Feng's expression showed not a shred of panic. On the contrary, a faint smile lingered on his lips — the smile of someone completely composed and unruffled.
"You think wielding an Ancestral Weapon is enough to defeat me?" Chu Feng said calmly, looking at the Ghost-Face Old Demon.
The Ancestral Weapon's appearance had indeed unleashed rolling waves of pressure, and the Ghost-Face Old Demon's combat power had undeniably surged in an instant. But Chu Feng, who commanded the Offensive Killing Grand Formation, remained utterly confident.
Because with the Offensive Killing Grand Formation in his grasp, he knew exactly how terrifying his own power was. He knew that merely relying on this Ancestral Weapon, the Ghost-Face Old Demon still could not defeat him.
"I have a feeling the formation you command is truly extraordinary — perhaps even my Purgatory Demon Axe will struggle to kill you."
"But Chu Feng, I guarantee you — what I'm about to use next will be more than enough to drag you to eternal damnation."
