"Evil creature, today I will make sure you die here!!!"
The ruthlessness in Sheng Guang Yun Yue's eyes deepened.
Immediately after, a torrent of martial force surged from within her body, converging solely into the Venerable Weapon dagger in her hand.
At this moment, even space itself trembled, as though sensing some terrifying power.
She had realized how terrifying Chu Feng was, so she held nothing back, unleashing her full power.
This move was no ordinary technique — it was an extraordinarily powerful Venerable Forbidden Martial Art.
But in the next instant, she froze.
She stared at Chu Feng, dumbstruck.
To her shock, she discovered that all the martial force she had gathered into the Venerable Weapon had been completely neutralized.
The martial art she had been about to execute simply could not be unleashed.
And the one who had neutralized it was, of course, Chu Feng.
Both Martial Venerables, yet Chu Feng... had neutralized her Venerable Forbidden Martial Art.
If something like this could happen, there was only one possible explanation.
Chu Feng's combat strength far exceeded hers.
"Although you've reached the Martial Venerable realm, your true strength is far from worthy of that cultivation level."
"Right now... you're no different from a fourth-rank Martial Venerable."
Chu Feng gazed at this Supreme Elder of the Sacred Light Clan with pure contempt — genuine, heartfelt disdain.
Because this Supreme Elder was far, far weaker than Chu Feng had anticipated.
So weak that Chu Feng felt disappointed.
Swish— Chu Feng's arm shot upward, and with just two fingers, he snatched the dagger straight from Sheng Guang Yun Yue's hand.
Then, with a flick of his finger, the blade pierced into Sheng Guang Yun Yue's Dantian with a sickening squelch.
BOOM— Ugh—!
The tremendous force not only pierced through her Dantian but sent Sheng Guang Yun Yue hurtling backward.
This force was far more powerful than the blow he had dealt Clan Master Long.
Sheng Guang Yun Yue smashed straight through the palace wall and flew outside.
But before she could hit the ground, her body still suspended mid-air, she suddenly stopped — and then flew back toward the palace.
It was Chu Feng. He stood in place, palm open, aimed directly at Sheng Guang Yun Yue.
Chu Feng had used his martial force to forcibly drag her back.
And with her came the Venerable Weapon dagger.
Sheng Guang Yun Yue not only returned to the palace but landed right in front of Chu Feng.
Thud— The moment she touched down, she was forced to her knees before Chu Feng by his martial force.
She raised her head to look at Chu Feng, her face filled with disbelief and her eyes burning with fury. She was just about to say something— Pfft— But blood gushed from her mouth, her face contorted in agony, and she couldn't even speak.
The Venerable Weapon dagger had pierced through her body once more and landed back in Chu Feng's hand.
Watching this scene, Clan Master Long said nothing, but those eyes that had once feared nothing were now filled with unease and dread.
He believed it now. This was truly Chu Feng.
Something familiar had confirmed Chu Feng's identity in his mind.
But the Chu Feng of today, though still technically a junior, was no longer the junior he had once known.
In such a short time, Chu Feng had grown to a terrifying degree — even more terrifying than he had imagined.
Even someone of Sheng Guang Yun Yue's caliber could only kneel before Chu Feng.
And what about him?
To Chu Feng, he was probably no different from an ant.
A single sneeze from Chu Feng could turn him to ash.
Seeing Chu Feng like this, he was filled with regret.
He regretted his decision.
He should not have so readily submitted to the Sacred Light Clan.
If he had stood on Chu Xiaoxiao's side, fought alongside her against the Sacred Light Clan, and chosen to believe in Chu Feng— Perhaps today's outcome would have been entirely different.
But he knew full well that things had already gone too far. Where was there still room to turn back?
At this thought, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Chu Feng noticed Clan Master Long's state but merely cast him a contemptuous glance before turning his gaze back to Sheng Guang Yun Yue.
"Princess Xiaoxiao's face — you're the one who ruined it?"
Chu Feng pressed the dagger against Sheng Guang Yun Yue's cheek, but compared to the blade, his gaze was far colder.
