Boom boom boom boom boom—
Three distinct martial techniques clashed together, instantly unleashing powerful ripples of energy.
In mere moments, countless surrounding buildings were reduced to rubble, and the earth was left devastated beyond recognition.
The terrifying might of True Immortals was on full display.
And because the two sides were positioned so closely together, the resulting energy ripples were even more ferocious — even Zi Xunyi herself was forced to retreat again and again from the impact.
Fortunately, Chu Feng had been sheltered behind Zi Xunyi. Otherwise, those ripples alone would have been enough to obliterate him.
If Chu Feng had already struggled to defeat a first-grade True Immortal, then the strength of a second-grade True Immortal was truly enough to become his nightmare.
"I'd thought the one backing Chu Feng would be some expert from the Upper Realm. Turns out she's nothing more than a member of the Bloodscale Monster Race," the Zhou Heavenly Clan's Clan Master said coldly.
He had already deduced from the martial technique Zi Xunyi had used earlier that she belonged to the Bloodscale Monster Race.
The Bloodscale Monster Race's techniques had never been passed to outsiders. To this day, aside from the Bloodscale Monster Race's own members, no one else had ever mastered their martial techniques.
"The Bloodscale Monster Race. You've stayed out of worldly affairs for thousands of years — I truly thought you intended to remain hidden forever."
"So in the end, you were secretly cultivating this freak Chu Feng all along. Your ambitions are far from small," the Kong Heavenly Clan's Clan Master added with sarcasm.
"The Bloodscale Monster Race, you will pay a devastating price for shielding Chu Feng. Not only will you die today, but not a single one of your Bloodscale Monster Race will be spared."
"I will see your Bloodscale Monster Race completely erased from the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm — no trace of you will remain."
The Zhou Heavenly Clan's Clan Master pointed at Zi Xunyi as he spoke, his posture lofty and domineering, as though it were truly within his power to decide the fate of the Bloodscale Monster Race.
"Hmph. Not to look down on you, but if you dare trespass into the Monster Destruction Cavern and haven't even reached our Bloodscale Monster Race's main stronghold before your entire force is wiped out—"
"You want to slaughter us? As if that was never your intention. You simply lack the ability to do it," Zi Xunyi retorted with scorn.
Having grown up within the Bloodscale Monster Race, she was all too familiar with the ways of the Kong Heavenly Clan and the Zhou Heavenly Clan.
These two clans, who proclaimed themselves noble and righteous, were in truth deeply ambitious — they had long been eyeing the unique treasures of the Bloodscale Monster Race with covetous hunger.
However, the ancient killing formations within the Monster Destruction Cavern were simply too numerous, and so their plans had never succeeded.
For the Kong Heavenly Clan and the Zhou Heavenly Clan to now spout such words before her, she naturally found it laughable.
"Whether we have the ability or not — you won't live to find out, because you won't survive past today."
The Zhou Heavenly Clan's Clan Master struck without warning.
Right behind him, the Kong Heavenly Clan's Clan Master attacked as well.
However, this time was different from before, for even the Supreme Elder who had been standing behind the Zhou Heavenly Clan's Clan Master joined the assault.
At this moment, flashes of lightning erupted simultaneously from within their bodies. It was not the lightning of a Heavenly-level bloodline, yet it bore a striking resemblance to one.
The lightning across their bodies merged together, and the auras of the Kong Heavenly Clan's Clan Master and the Zhou Heavenly Clan's Clan Master grew ever more powerful.
It was a grand formation — an offensive killing formation that could only be arranged by those who possessed a Heavenly-level bloodline.
"Surrender now, and we'll consider leaving your corpse intact," the Zhou Heavenly Clan's Clan Master said to Zi Xunyi.
"Hmph."
Yet faced with such a situation, Zi Xunyi showed not the slightest fear. Instead, she let out a disdainful snort.
Then her eyes flashed with purple light, and the next instant, the purple flames surging from her body blazed even more violently.
Swish, swish—
Following that, she hurled both daggers from her hands.
As the two purple daggers flew forth, vast martial power surged out without the slightest restraint.
The next moment, both daggers began spinning simultaneously, emanating a purple aura that rotated along with them, forming a massive purple cyclone.
"That's—"
Chu Feng recognized at a glance that the technique Zi Xunyi was now unleashing was far from ordinary.
It was not merely an Ancestral Forbidden Martial Technique — it was an Ancestral Forbidden Martial Technique that had been perfectly fused with the power of an Ancestral Weapon. Its might was truly formidable.
Crackle, crackle—
And just then, lightning flashed and electricity surged as an enormous expanse of thunderbolts poured down from the void above like a sea of lightning.
