"It was all my doing. It has nothing to do with them. Let them go," Chu Feng said.
"I don't think you understand the situation."
"The one in control here is me, so you don't have any right to negotiate with me."
When Linghu Mingye said this, the corners of his mouth suddenly curved upward.
It was an extremely evil smile.
Seeing that smile, Chu Feng realized something terrible was about to happen—Linghu Mingye was going to make his move.
Boom— Suddenly, Chu Feng focused his will, and the Fire Qilin Armor on his body ignited. At the same time, a torrent of flames burst outward like volcanic magma surging from the earth.
Ugh— However, the moment the flames spread, Chu Feng opened his mouth and a large mouthful of blood sprayed out.
At this moment, Chu Feng was half-kneeling on the ground. Not only had the released flames dissipated, but even the Fire Qilin Armor had lost its glow.
"The power of the Fire Qilin Armor has already been fully consumed by you. To restore it will take at least another day. If you force it to activate, you won't even need me to lift a finger—the Fire Qilin Armor itself will kill you," Linghu Mingye said.
"You know so much about the Fire Qilin Armor too?" Chu Feng's brow furrowed even deeper.
Looking at the Linghu Mingye before him, Chu Feng felt deeply uneasy.
Because he couldn't see through this man. Linghu Mingye was like a riddle, with far too many things hidden from view.
But Chu Feng himself was like a blank sheet of paper—every single one of his methods had been laid bare before Linghu Mingye's eyes.
Such a vast disparity left Chu Feng feeling utterly powerless.
"Feeling powerless? Good. But don't rush—this is only the beginning. I'll make you feel more and more powerless."
As those words left his mouth, a thick killing intent surged in Linghu Mingye's eyes.
Right now, he was like a beast erupting. His earlier calm had been nothing more than the prelude to a storm.
In this moment, heaven and earth were filled with his rage and killing intent.
Everything was so terrifying—this didn't seem like a man. This was a killing demon.
Such a person must have drenched his hands in countless lives, utterly ruthless and cruel, for no one else could emanate such horrifying killing intent and fury.
Ugh—ah— Suddenly, Li Anzhi let out a miserable scream.
Li Anzhi had been brought before Linghu Mingye, and the Light Rune on his forehead was being extracted by Linghu Mingye.
"Li Anzhi, don't look at me with such hatred. I haven't done anything to you—I'm merely following the rules of the Sacred Spirit Light Formation. You should thank me. Thank me for being so merciful that I haven't extended my wrath to you simply because you associated with this Chu Feng."
Linghu Mingye looked at Li Anzhi and finished speaking in an incomparably eerie tone.
And when his words fell, Li Anzhi's Light Rune was completely extracted and vanished within the Sacred Spirit Light Formation.
Immediately after, Linghu Mingye took the Light Runes from several other clan members of the Li Heavenly Clan.
At this moment, Linghu Mingye turned his gaze toward Chu Feng once more and sneered: "The real show can finally begin."
With those words, Linghu Mingye swept his sleeve, and a peculiar pill furnace appeared before him.
That was no ordinary pill furnace—it was an immortal weapon.
Buzz— Then, Linghu Mingye's gaze shifted, and the pill furnace rapidly expanded, transforming into a colossal object over a hundred meters tall.
At this moment, the pill furnace not only radiated flowing light, but waves of heat rose from within. That was no simple flame—it was fire condensed from the purest immortal-level martial force.
Once the immortal weapon furnace was awakened, Linghu Mingye waved his sleeve once more.
Chu Qing, Chu Shuangshuang, Chu Haoyan, Chu Huanyu, and the others were swept into the furnace by a violent gust of wind.
Ugh—ah— At that moment, all four of them let out agonized screams simultaneously.
The immortal weapon furnace was refining them. Their skin was being burned away, their bodies being incinerated.
