Chu Feng sat cross-legged in the depths of the underground palace, for he had used a concealment array to hide Bai Liluo and that array.
So for now, everything around him remained pitch-black.
But suddenly, Chu Feng rose to his feet and directed his gaze toward the entrance.
"It's you?"
Chu Feng furrowed his brow, and at the same time, the array in his palm was activated.
The array fused into his body, and Chu Feng's frame immediately radiated a faint glow. Within the glow were countless runes, which sank into his flesh, his marrow, and his soul.
Chu Feng had obtained the cultivation of a Second-rank Martial Immortal.
But at the same time, all of Chu Feng's own abilities were sealed.
At this moment, Chu Feng could not use his Heaven-grade Bloodline, nor his secret techniques, nor his Immortal Technique.
Aside from this Second-rank Martial Immortal cultivation, the only power he could now use was his immortal weapon.
But Chu Feng had no choice. Although his field of vision was limited, he could sense a large group of people approaching—and they were none other than the clansmen of the Azure Feather Demon Clan.
Facing an expert like Qingyu Ruize, Chu Feng certainly could not deal with him relying on his own strength alone. So even though he knew Bai Liluo's array came with restrictions, he had no choice but to use it.
"Chu Feng, I can let bygones be bygones between us—just tell me where that girl Bai Liluo is."
From the darkness came the voice of Qingyu Ruize.
Since Chu Feng had sensed him, he naturally was able to sense Chu Feng as well.
"Heh…"
However, at this moment, Chu Feng merely smiled faintly. Then, with a leap, he charged toward Qingyu Ruize with his immortal weapon in hand.
Chu Feng took the initiative to attack—after all, Qingyu Ruize was a true Second-rank Martial Immortal.
Moreover, unlike Chu Feng, Qingyu Ruize had access to all of his abilities, and Chu Feng knew that the Azure Feather Demon Clan possessed the power of bloodline.
So normally, Chu Feng was no match for Qingyu Ruize at all. If he wanted to win, his only option was to strike first. This was Chu Feng's only chance.
Chu Feng moved with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, he was already right before Qingyu Ruize.
The immortal weapon Chu Feng wielded was a longsword—one that greatly enhanced his attacking speed.
The blade shot straight for Qingyu Ruize's dantian.
Everything happened too fast. Qingyu Ruize had no time to react.
Pfft— With that sound, the sword in Chu Feng's hand had already pierced through Qingyu Ruize's dantian.
Gwah— The next instant, every member of the Azure Feather Demon Clan present—including the brothers Qingyu Yunlong and Qingyu Yunhu—all collapsed to the ground, their faces twisted in agony.
They were all pressed down by a powerful and invisible force, unable to move, and this pressure emanated from none other than Chu Feng.
"Your cultivation!!!"
At this moment, Qingyu Ruize's face was also contorted in pain, but compared to the pain, the shock in his eyes was far more intense.
The reason for his shock was that although Chu Feng had boosted his cultivation, Chu Feng's cultivation was concealed. Qingyu Ruize could only sense Chu Feng's aura—he had no way of detecting his actual cultivation level.
It was precisely because of this that Chu Feng's sudden attack had caught him completely off guard, allowing Chu Feng to land a decisive blow.
Hum— Suddenly, the immortal weapon longsword in Chu Feng's hand trembled violently. A powerful wave of pressure surged through the blade, flooding into Qingyu Ruize's dantian and pouring into his soul.
This force caused the agony on Qingyu Ruize's face to intensify. His entire body trembled violently, and then his legs gave out, sending him dropping to one knee with a thud.
At this moment, even his breathing had become rapid and labored.
