"You'll go save her? On what grounds do you think you can?"
Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law questioned, his eyes flickering with intense fury.
Even at this point, his hatred toward Chu Feng had reached a level where he could no longer endure it.
"Heh…" Chu Feng chuckled lightly before saying, "What's this — you don't have the guts to go save your own woman, and now you won't allow me to go save her either?"
"You… you dare say something like that to me?!" Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law was so enraged that his teeth were clenched tight. As a man, he felt his dignity had been deeply insulted.
"You bastard — you must be a spy for the Demon race. I'll kill you for sure!" Suddenly, with a furious roar, Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law raised the half-finished Ancestral weapon in his hand and slashed straight toward Chu Feng's skull.
This strike was meant not merely to kill Chu Feng, but to cleave him in two.
At the sight of this, Zhan Lingtong's expression changed drastically. After all, his brother-in-law was a Seventh Grade Half-Ancestor.
Chu Feng was indeed powerful — he could easily defeat a Sixth Grade Half-Ancestor — but Zhan Lingtong still had no idea what Chu Feng's true cultivation level was.
However, he knew exactly how formidable his brother-in-law was. If he hadn't been, his sister would never have taken a liking to him all those years ago.
So in this moment, he could not be certain whether Chu Feng could withstand this blow unharmed.
As for the members of the Ancient Battle Clan, the corners of their mouths curled upward one by one with schadenfreude. Ever since Chu Feng had arrived, he had been insulting them relentlessly, and they had long since had enough of it. Now that Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law was attacking Chu Feng, it was exactly what they wanted.
In their minds, since Chu Feng was no member of the Ancient Battle Clan, he was just an ordinary commoner.
How could an ordinary commoner possibly be a match for Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law? They were convinced that Chu Feng's death was certain.
However, just as the half-finished Ancestral weapon was about to cleave into the top of Chu Feng's head, Chu Feng suddenly raised his hand.
CLANG! Sparks flew in every direction, and shockwaves rippled outward, forcing everyone nearby to stagger backward repeatedly.
"How is that possible?!!"
When the crowd steadied themselves and focused their gazes, they were struck dumb with shock.
Because Chu Feng had caught the half-finished Ancestral weapon barehanded — with his palm alone.
"Is he even human?!"
Their minds reeled, still overcome with disbelief.
That was a half-finished Ancestral weapon, and it was in the hands of a Seventh Grade Half-Ancestor. How could this man before them catch such a weapon with his bare hand? What level of power did he actually possess?
"Dare not go fight the Demon race, but you come here to flex your muscles against me instead?"
"Sorry to disappoint — your Grandpa Chu Feng doesn't put up with that kind of rot."
With those words, Chu Feng swept his massive sleeve through the air. Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law was sent flying toward the ground like a scarecrow, along with his weapon.
BOOM—!
The tremendous force kicked up billowing shockwaves and blasted a colossal valley into the once-level earth.
Zhan Lingtong's brother-in-law plunged deep underground, a testament to just how devastating that blow had been.
"Sir!!!"
At the sight of this, the members of the Ancient Battle Clan panicked, rushing one after another toward the smoke-filled valley.
They had no idea whether their lord was dead or alive.
After all, Chu Feng's strike had looked absolutely savage.
Even Zhan Lingtong was stunned. Though he had already witnessed Chu Feng's brutality before, he had never expected that Chu Feng could be just as ruthless against his brother-in-law.
Of course, that was still his brother-in-law, so he couldn't help feeling somewhat worried.
"Stop spacing out. Come — follow me to rescue your sister."
While Zhan Lingtong stood in a daze, Chu Feng grabbed him with one hand. Then, in a flash, a gust of violent wind swept past, and Chu Feng vanished along with Zhan Lingtong.
The escaped member of the Battle Clan disappeared with them.
…
The place where Zhan Lingong's sister was being held was actually not far from the last territory of the Ancient Battle Clan.
With the escaped member leading the way, Chu Feng and Zhan Lingtong soon arrived at the place where that Demon Willow Sky resided.
It was a grand stronghold, resplendent in gold and jade, quite imposing in its splendor.
It had formerly been a branch outpost of the Ancient Battle Clan — never had anyone expected that it would now be occupied by the Ancient Demon race.
"They're actually hiding here? How are we supposed to find her?" Zhan Lingtong was so anxious that tears were on the verge of spilling from his eyes, even though Chu Feng's secret technique had brought them to this place in no time at all.
