"You two seniors, it is my fault—Chu Feng's fault—for failing to find you sooner and letting you suffer."
"But starting today, I guarantee that no one will ever harm you again."
"Right now, I will make these brutes pay for everything they have done."
Looking at Ying Mingchao and Zi Xunyi, Chu Feng spoke these words with the gravity of one issuing a military pledge.
"Chu Feng, don't be reckless! These brutes are incredibly powerful. If you provoke them, you'll be in terrible danger!"
Seeing that Chu Feng actually intended to stand up for them, Zi Xunyi hurriedly grabbed hold of him.
Although she had always believed that Chu Feng's talent was beyond compare—that he was a genius among geniuses—she had been here for so long and knew all too well how ruthless and terrifying these bandit beasts were. She didn't want Chu Feng to take such a risk on their account.
Seeing Zi Xunyi like this, Chu Feng's heart ached even more.
He knew that Zi Xunyi must have been tortured into complete fear by these bandit beasts.
Otherwise, when others had attempted to flee and most people had simply stood by, looking for an opportunity to escape, she wouldn't have obediently continued working.
It was fear—fear that made her so docile, fear that kept her from fighting back.
But one had to remember that she was no timid girl. She was the Zi Xunyi who had witnessed countless storms, endured untold hardships, and once commanded awe across the Hundred Refinements Ordinary World.
For someone of Zi Xunyi's caliber to become this cowardly—one could only imagine the brutal torture and abuse she had endured.
"Those brutes—I will make sure they die horrible deaths."
At this moment, Chu Feng's fists clenched tighter and tighter. The always-composed young man now had his face flushed crimson with fury, teeth ground together, and from his burning eyes radiated a fierce killing intent.
With Chu Feng's killing intent ignited, treasures and everything else no longer mattered.
All he wanted now was to annihilate this entire clan of bandit beasts who committed every evil imaginable.
Waaa— Just then, a miserable scream suddenly rang out.
It was Xu Jialuo. Xu Jialuo crashed heavily in front of the Luo Family members, his entire body drenched in blood, having sustained grievous injuries.
Although he was also a First-tier Heavenly Immortal, he didn't possess even half an Immortal weapon, nor had he ever cultivated Immortal arts. He was simply no match for that bandit beast.
Seeing this, those who had been standing by, hoping to find an opportunity to escape, hurriedly bent down and picked up the crystals at their feet, resuming their work.
They all knew—there was no chance of escape.
For them, the worst they faced was some punishment. But for the Luo Family members, it would be far worse than mere punishment. They were all going to die miserably.
At this moment, every member of the Luo Family was trembling, their faces filled with terror. They were utterly terrified.
Looking at the murderous gazes of those bandit beasts, they could already imagine what awaited them.
They were dead. They knew they were dead.
In this moment, they were consumed with regret. If only they had listened to Chu Feng's warning and not let Xu Jialuo rebel.
At least without the rebellion, they could have survived. But now, there was absolutely no way they would live—and they didn't even know what kind of torture they would suffer before death.
"Brutes! Today, I will make every last one of you vanish from this world!!!"
But just then, a furious roar suddenly erupted from the direction of the great formation.
