"Who?"
"Who saved us?"
At that moment, the crowds from both Luoxia Valley and the Three Star Hall shared these same questions as they raised their heads to gaze toward the horizon.
They all wanted to see just which divine figure had managed to suppress Daoist Golden Star and save their lives.
"Him?"
And the moment they got a look, nearly everyone present was struck dumb, their eyes wide with shock.
Because the one who had arrived was not at all who they had expected. It was neither a powerhouse from Luoxia Valley nor a powerhouse from the Three Star Hall—it was someone they had never anticipated.
Because that person was none other than Chu Feng.
Not only that, but standing beside Chu Feng was a crystal giant. The aura radiating from the crystal giant was so formidable that no one present could see through it. However, there was no denying that it was the crystal giant's power that had suppressed Daoist Golden Star—a dignified Sixth Rank Martial Ancestor.
Although the crystal giant was the key figure in suppressing Daoist Golden Star, people still focused their attention on Chu Feng.
Because no matter how majestic, how overwhelming, or how unfathomably deep the crystal giant appeared, it looked more like a puppet—more like a bodyguard.
Its master was Chu Feng. So… in everyone's eyes, the one who had truly saved them was still Chu Feng.
"Chu Feng, you actually dare show your face."
"Fine. You've come at just the right time—it saves me the trouble of going to find you." Daoist Golden Star was indeed surprised, but at the same time, he was gnashing his teeth. The ferocious look on his face spoke volumes about the depth of his hatred for Chu Feng.
His hatred for Chu Feng ran extraordinarily deep. After all, Chu Feng—a junior—had bested him in the art of sealing formations, utterly destroying his reputation. That was something he simply could not endure.
"Daoist Golden Star, whatever else can be said, you do have some renown in the Hundred Refinements Realm. I never imagined you could be so petty and narrow-minded," Chu Feng said with a mocking tone.
"Petty and narrow-minded? You dare call me petty and narrow-minded? Do you not remember what you and your people did to me back at Luoxia Valley?" Daoist Golden Star said, his resentment running deep.
"What happened back at Luoxia Valley was nothing more than a minor matter, yet you went so far as to ally with the Ying Heavenly Clan and wage war against Luoxia Valley and the Three Star Hall over it."
"After all, you were in the wrong that day. Luoxia Valley and the Three Star Hall didn't do anything to you, yet now you want to put them to death. If that isn't petty and narrow-minded, what is?"
"I know—you're doing all of this because you hate me. But if you hate me, you can come straight for me. Why go after Luoxia Valley and the Three Star Hall? They are innocent," Chu Feng said with a sneer.
"Spare me your drivel. Regardless, today, all of you will die." Daoist Golden Star was beside himself with rage. No longer willing to waste words with Chu Feng, he flicked his wrist and produced a half-finished Ancestral Armament. He then thrust the weapon directly at Chu Feng.
BOOM—
ROAR—
Martial power surged and fierce winds howled. A fierce beast resembling a flood dragon materialized within the churning currents of martial power, its massive maw gaping open to reveal razor-sharp fangs as it bore down on Chu Feng.
The moment this beast appeared, the winds and clouds shifted. An unstoppable might swept across this stretch of sky and earth.
This was no ordinary beast. It was the manifestation of an Emperor Taboo Martial Skill.
Daoist Golden Star seemed to have recognized that the crystal giant beside Chu Feng was no ordinary foe. That was why he had not held back—his very first move was his killing technique.
And it had to be said, when Daoist Golden Star harnessed the power of the half-finished Ancestral Armament to unleash an Emperor Taboo Martial Skill, the hearts of everyone from Luoxia Valley and the Three Star Hall clenched tight. That aura of dominance was truly terrifying, and they all feared that Chu Feng would be unable to withstand it.
BOOM—
However, at that very moment, the crystal giant beside Chu Feng slowly raised its arm and then threw a single punch with effortless ease.
The punch looked powerless, but the moment it was unleashed, the heavens and earth trembled. The fierce beast manifested by the Emperor Taboo Martial Skill was obliterated in an instant, scattered into nothing.
"What?!!!"
In that instant, the people of Luoxia Valley and the Three Star Hall realized they had been worrying for nothing.
Chu Feng's crystal giant was far too powerful. The moment it struck, everyone understood that no matter how strong Daoist Golden Star might be, he could not harm a single hair on Chu Feng's head—because the crystal giant's strength was absolutely, unquestionably far beyond Daoist Golden Star's.
