Ouyang Lingyu pointed his divine weapon great blade at Chu Feng, his eyes filled with confidence — he could barely contain his excitement.
Earlier, Xiao Yuer's physical condition had been poor, and he had naturally noticed.
He also knew that even if he defeated her, others would say he had won dishonorably.
But that girl's strength had been too terrifying — even in her extremely weakened state, she had suppressed him, forcing him to consume forbidden medicine to boost his combat power.
Yet who could have predicted that once the forbidden medicine took effect, Xiao Yuer would become so weak she could no longer fight? The medicine had been completely wasted.
Now things were different. Chu Feng had come out, and he had just caused such a massive disturbance. More importantly, he was in a fully intact body.
If he could defeat Chu Feng, it would be a legitimate, undeniable victory.
The forbidden medicine had been worth it after all!!!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. This was practically heaven helping him.
So he looked at Chu Feng and spoke again: "With all that commotion, I thought you had broken through to Heavenly God."
"Turns out you've only just stepped into True God."
"So before, you were only a Half God. No wonder when you fought Ouyang Kuangfei, you relied on Spirit World Master techniques."
"So what now — do you want to fight me as a Spirit World Master, or as a martial cultivator?"
"If you want to fight as a martial cultivator, I can hold back and suppress my cultivation to fourth-grade True God."
In his mind, a first-grade True God could at most deploy Thunder Marks, Thunder Armor, and Thunder Wings like Ouyang Kuangfei had, raising his cultivation to fourth-grade True God at best.
Whoosh— But the moment he finished speaking, he felt a searing pain in his chest. Looking down, blood was pouring out — a divine weapon long blade had pierced clean through his chest.
It was Chu Feng!!!
He had simultaneously deployed Thunder Marks, Thunder Armor, and Thunder Wings, reaching fourth-grade True God.
But he possessed combat power that could fight an entire grade above!
That was how he had landed a fatal blow!!!
This strike had been aimed squarely at taking his life.
Boom— But in the next instant, a powerful force erupted from within Ouyang Lingyu's body, forcibly blasting Chu Feng backward.
The force rapidly enveloped Ouyang Lingyu and began healing his injuries.
Seeing this, Ouyang Kuangfei and the others let out a sigh of relief.
That was the guardian formation on Ouyang Lingyu's body.
With that formation in place, they no longer needed to worry about Ouyang Lingyu's life.
And so they did not step in to stop Chu Feng.
Ouyang Lingyu had indeed gone too far — a lesson from Chu Feng would do him good.
"Damn it!"
"It was supposed to be a spar! Why did you go for the kill?!"
Ouyang Lingyu glared viciously at Chu Feng.
But the blown-back Chu Feng merely raised his Tsunami Blade and slashed upward. Instantly, a massive wave surged forth, hurtling straight toward Ouyang Lingyu.
However, the guardian formation once again blocked the attack.
"Are you looking down on me?"
"A cultivator of this era, acting so arrogantly."
"Let me show you the true foundation of an ancient clan."
As Ouyang Lingyu spoke, he retreated rapidly — and to the shock of everyone, he withdrew the power of his guardian formation.
He spun his wrist, and nine more pills appeared, identical to the forbidden medicine from before.
"Brother Lingyu, are you insane?!"
At the sight of this, Ouyang Kuangfei and the others hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
But Ouyang Lingyu ignored them completely.
Although he had not yet fought Chu Feng properly, that single strike had made him realize that this man called Chu Feng was even more terrifying than that girl.
One pill had been useless. Even two or three wouldn't be enough.
He had to go all out if he wanted any chance. And if he was going to go all out, he might as well go big.
With that thought, he opened his mouth and swallowed all nine forbidden medicine pills — pills forged specifically for the Heavenly Clan — in a single gulp.
In an instant, blinding thunder erupted from within his body, engulfing the entire heavens and earth.
In the void above, within those black flames, thunder rumbled in every direction as extraordinary phenomena began to manifest.
