Staring at the stump where his arm had been, Huangfu Shengyu stood frozen for a brief moment.
He was reluctant to believe it was real—reluctant to accept that a rank eight Half God had severed his entire arm through sheer brute force.
But the searing pain at the wound, the blood gushing forth, and the severed arm falling through the air all served as reminders that this was no illusion.
BOOM— Suddenly, longer black thorns sprouted from Huangfu Shengyu's body. He now resembled a humanoid hedgehog. It looked grotesque, but his combat power surged once again.
"Chu Feng! I'll tear you to shreds!!!"
Huangfu Shengyu paid no attention to the blood spurting from his severed arm. Instead, his right hand gripped his divine weapon spear tightly.
In an instant, bolts of lightning erupted, quickly coalescing behind him into a massive Thunder Dragon.
He had unleashed the full power of the forbidden drug. This was his last chance.
And from what Chu Feng could observe, Huangfu Shengyu's Thunder Dragon was not only different in form from the Thunder Serpent—its might far surpassed the Thunder Serpent as well.
Though both were a single stage of Divine Armament, this Thunder Dragon was unquestionably a far more powerful Divine Armament martial technique.
Of course, that also owed to the combat power amplification granted by Huangfu Shengyu's forbidden drug.
Yet none of this fazed Chu Feng in the slightest.
He gripped the Primordial Hero Sword with both hands and gave a soft shout.
"Divine Armament: Thunder Serpent."
Crackle—crackle— Lightning flickered all around him, and moments later a Thunder Serpent materialized behind him.
But this time, the lightning covering Chu Feng's body was crimson, and the Thunder Serpent itself was formed from that same red lightning.
"Divine Armament, Thunder Serpent?"
"How… how can he execute our Huangfu Heavenly Clan's Divine Armament martial technique?"
Huangfu Jiangyao and Huangfu Shangyang both cried out simultaneously.
Despite the lightning being red, the form and aura were unmistakable—it was the Divine Armament martial technique of their Huangfu Heavenly Clan.
Chu Feng paid them no mind whatsoever. His gaze was fixed on Huangfu Shengyu, who had long since lost any semblance of a human appearance.
Huangfu Shengyu had naturally noticed it too.
His eyes were filled with shock.
He couldn't figure it out. He simply couldn't.
The martial techniques of the Huangfu Heavenly Clan had never been passed to outsiders—so how was Chu Feng able to execute one?
But he didn't bother asking. At this point, none of that mattered anymore.
What mattered was that he had to kill Chu Feng.
Otherwise, he would die here.
But though he had no intention of speaking, Chu Feng opened his mouth.
"Huangfu Shengyu."
"You should recognize this martial technique."
"You know full well that this technique is inferior to yours."
"But today, I will use it to destroy you."
"I want you to understand what the word 'gap' truly means."
With those words, Chu Feng pointed the Primordial Hero Sword at Huangfu Shengyu.
Crackle—crackle— The crimson Thunder Serpent surged toward Huangfu Shengyu.
"Arrogant fool—die!"
Huangfu Shengyu bellowed in fury, pouring every last ounce of strength into his attack.
