"Hahaha…"
"They say hearing is believing and seeing is proof, but rather than listen to what others say, I, Tang Zhenghao, would prefer to experience it firsthand."
"Chu Feng, I won't waste time with idle talk, because before you came here, you should already know the purpose of my, Tang Zhenghao's, arrival."
"I'll ask you only this — do you dare accept my challenge and settle things between us?" Tang Zhenghao asked Chu Feng.
"Since I, Chu Feng, have already come here, do you still not know my answer?" Chu Feng replied.
"Good, straightforward! Then let's cut the crap — show me your moves and let's settle this!"
As Tang Zhenghao spoke, he released his Heavenly Bloodline. The moment the Heavenly Bloodline was unleashed, his cultivation surged from rank seven Heavenly Immortal to rank eight Heavenly Immortal in an instant.
However, the very next moment, a blue aura erupted from Tang Zhenghao's body. Though it swirled around him, it subtly took the form of a pattern — the shape of a fearsome blue beast.
At the same time, he had obtained the power to fight one rank above his own.
In other words, Tang Zhenghao now possessed strength that could rival a rank nine Heavenly Immortal.
"Chu Feng, that blue aura Tang Zhenghao released is an extraordinary treasure. It's quite similar to Li Anzhi's Golden-Striped Inner Armor — that treasure is what grants him the power to fight one rank above."
"Moreover, to a certain extent, Tang Zhenghao's treasure is even more formidable than Li Anzhi's Golden-Striped Inner Armor, so you must be careful." The Chu Heavenly Clan Master's secret voice transmission reached Chu Feng's ears at that moment.
"This junior understands." Chu Feng nodded. In truth, he didn't need the Chu Heavenly Clan Master to tell him — he could already sense that Tang Zhenghao's blue aura was far from ordinary.
But if these were the only tricks up his sleeve, then while Tang Zhenghao was certainly strong, he wasn't all that much stronger than Li Anzhi.
Their strength was still very comparable.
Unless Tang Zhenghao's cultivation was higher than Li Anzhi's, these moves alone wouldn't be enough — Chu Feng was still confident he could prevail over Tang Zhenghao.
"Since you've held nothing back, then I, Chu Feng, won't hide anything either."
As Chu Feng spoke, he unleashed his Divine Lightning Mark, fused the Ancient War Sword and the Ancient War Axe, and then drew forth his Immortal Armament.
With all his cards on the table, Chu Feng's combat power now stood on par with Tang Zhenghao's.
"Not bad — it seems your reputation is well earned. Then let's give this everything we've got!"
Tang Zhenghao drew his half-finished Immortal Armament and shot toward Chu Feng at blistering speed.
Seeing this, Chu Feng showed no hesitation. Gripping his own Immortal Armament, he charged to meet Tang Zhenghao head-on.
In the blink of an eye, the two collided. Neither employed any martial techniques — they simply swung the weapons in their hands, slashing at each other directly.
Clang—
