"You..."
Upon hearing these words, the joyful faces of Dong Xue and Xia Yu instantly changed — they never imagined Chu Feng would treat them like this.
In that moment, Dong Xue and Xia Yu were absolutely furious. They wanted to say something, but when their gaze shifted to Chu Feng, they immediately froze in their tracks. A cold sweat poured from their foreheads and streamed down their faces.
Because at this very moment, Chu Feng's eyes were filled with killing intent — and that was absolutely no joke. If they dared to act on their own, Chu Feng would really kill them.
They had considered forcing the issue, thinking Chu Feng must be extremely weak right now, but remembering what he had done before — how he had defeated even three top-tier geniuses — they had no choice but to abandon that thought.
In the end, the supremely arrogant and self-serving Xia Yu and Dong Xue simply stood there frozen in midair, not moving an inch, and truly did not make a move toward the martial runes.
"This..." Seeing this, Qiu Zhu felt a deep sympathy and was about to say something, but she was suddenly interrupted by Chun Wu beside her.
"They brought it on themselves. The way they treated Brother Wuqing before, and now they want to reap the rewards without lifting a finger? What a pipe dream," Chun Wu whispered to Qiu Zhu, pulling her close.
After hearing Chun Wu's words and glancing at Chu Feng — who was now sitting cross-legged on the ground, face pale, eyes closed as he focused his breathing — Qiu Zhu had to admit that Chun Wu was right.
This situation was something Chu Feng had fought for with everything he had. And the way Xia Yu and Dong Xue had treated him before — they absolutely did not deserve to take the martial runes and rare treasures here. So she swallowed her words and said nothing more.
After that, the two of them began catching the martial runes. Although the martial runes were special — so special that no amount of force could destroy them — as long as you caught one in your palm and squeezed gently, it would enter your body directly and manifest as patterns on your arm.
The martial runes seemed to possess a kind of intelligence, and their speed was incredible — they were cunning beyond measure and far from easy to catch.
However, there were simply too many martial runes here, and no matter how fast they were or how much they ran, they were ultimately confined within this grand hall. So for someone of Qiu Zhu and Chun Wu's caliber, catching them was actually quite manageable.
Watching Chun Wu and Qiu Zhu catch martial rune after martial rune and absorb them into their bodies, each of them already having collected over a dozen runes in the blink of an eye — Dong Xue and Xia Yu were absolutely green with envy.
But there was nothing they could do about it now. They had been blind, misjudged Chu Feng, and pushed him aside over petty self-interest. Standing there now, they could only watch as Chun Wu and Qiu Zhu claimed the martial runes — and it was entirely their own fault.
They knew this all too well. So beyond their envy of Chun Wu and Qiu Zhu, the dominant emotion they felt was regret — regret that they had treated Chu Feng the way they did. They swore to themselves that if they could do it all over again, they would never act that way. But unfortunately, the one thing the world never provides is the medicine of regret, and everything that had happened could never be undone.
But compared to them, Zhan Feng, Ya Fei, and Murong Wan were practically seething with rage, their faces flushed red. Their eyes seemed ready to burst into flames.
What was rightfully theirs was now being taken by others — how could they possibly stand for it?
"Oh my, oh my — wandering around the Martial Rune Immortal Realm for so many days, and only now do I realize that these martial runes are actually this easy to catch! It's like they're inexhaustible~ Hee hee hee..."
Sensing those gazes filled with both envy and fury, Chun Wu — that mischievous girl — began boasting proudly while continuing to catch martial runes.
