The Blood Saber ancestor weapon of the Demon Clan's chief plummeted from the sky, but his physical body was nowhere to be found — it had already been obliterated above the firmament, dissolving into a rain of blood that drifted downward.
Every member of the Demon Clan wore the pallid look of the dead, their faces etched with despair. They had never imagined that their own clan chief would be wiped out like this, so effortlessly, right before their eyes.
Yet if even their clan chief had been powerless to resist Chu Feng, what hope did the rest of them have?
Today — this very moment — would surely be the day their race met its end.
ROAR—
But just then, from within the downpour of blood, a piercing, furious roar suddenly echoed.
In the next instant, a dark, black mist coalesced into view, growing denser and more voluminous by the second.
The dark mist was ghostlike in nature — vaguely humanoid, yet not quite human; blade-like, yet not truly a blade. It emitted eerie, unnatural howls and radiated an aura that was vast and overwhelmingly powerful.
"A Secret Technique — the Enemy-Slaying Slash!!!"
Every member of the Ancient Demon Clan felt their expressions shift. They recognized this Secret Technique immediately.
After all, this Secret Technique belonged to their own Ancient Demon Clan.
"A Secret Technique? I didn't expect this fellow to carry something like this on him."
"How interesting. It seems killing him today was the right call after all."
Upon seeing the Secret Technique, Chu Feng's face actually lit up with delight. He then spread his palm wide, and once more a tremendous pulling force surged forth — this time enveloping the Secret Technique.
"What is that fellow doing? Could it be... he wants to capture the Secret Technique?" At this sight, the Demon Clan members were even more stunned.
"Ignorant brat — you dare set your sights on me? You're courting death." Yet Chu Feng's pulling force failed to so much as budge the Secret Technique. Instead, it let out a roar of absolute fury.
In the next moment, wave after wave of devastating force bore down on Chu Feng.
Everything happened far too quickly. Caught off guard, Chu Feng heard a thunderous boom as he was blasted backward tens of thousands of meters.
He only stopped when his body smashed into a building, but the violent ripples had already engulfed him entirely.
"Young Hero Chu Feng!!!"
At this sight, the members of the Ancient War Clan were thrown into a panic, fear flooding their faces.
The aura radiating from that Secret Technique was no trivial matter, and Chu Feng had genuinely been knocked back. Now, engulfed by those destructive ripples, his life and death were unknown — how could they not be worried?
"Excellent! Lord Secret Technique is that powerful — we're saved! The Ancient Demon Clan is saved!!!"
"This Chu Feng was truly foolish, to provoke Lord Secret Technique of his own volition. It seems he is certainly dead today."
While the War Clan was consumed with worry, however, the faces of the Ancient Demon Clan members blossomed with hope.
They had originally believed that facing an opponent as powerful as Chu Feng, their clan was doomed to be annihilated today.
But upon witnessing the sheer might of the Secret Technique, they suddenly realized that salvation was at hand. One could even say that there was still hope today — hope to destroy the Ancient War Clan.
They could still win this war.
After all, this Secret Technique had been created by Lord Demon Execution. The power of the Secret Technique itself had to be immense.
The Demon Clan's chief had never subdued this Secret Technique through his own strength — it had been passed down through inheritance.
As a result, none of them truly knew just how powerful the Secret Technique really was.
But now, seeing it in action, it was clearly formidable. Even Chu Feng was no match for it. Naturally, they were overjoyed.
"Die!!!"
Suddenly, a venomous voice rang out, accompanied by an overwhelming wave of killing intent.
The Secret Technique pressed its advantage, trailing billowing black flames that blotted out the sky as it surged toward Chu Feng.
Sssssss—
But just then, from within the area covered by the ripples, dazzling bolts of lightning suddenly began to flash.
