"This is bad! Murong Mingtian is ambushing Chu Feng!!!"
The moment they saw this, the members of the Remnant Night Demon Sect erupted into furious shouts, gritting their teeth in rage, their faces turning green. They all felt that this Murong Mingtian was far too despicable and shameless — the man had utterly lost all sense of dignity.
As an elder of higher standing, teaming up with others to fight two-on-one was bad enough, but to then exploit the moment when both fighters were locked in fierce combat to launch a sneak attack with a Forbidden Martial Art — it was absolutely intolerable.
"This…"
In truth, it wasn't just the Remnant Night Demon Sect who felt this way. Even the onlookers were left nearly speechless by what they were witnessing. When Jiang Qisha had joined the fray earlier to fight two-on-one, his intervention had at least been done openly and aboveboard.
But now Murong Mingtian, seizing the opportunity while both combatants were fully engaged, had launched a covert strike — that was truly something no one could justify.
"Heh, Murong Mingtian, you seem to be in a hurry to die."
Yet, what no one had expected was that just as the Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique was about to strike and kill Chu Feng, Chu Feng's eyes snapped open and he let out a cold laugh. With a raise of his palm, he unleashed the White Tiger Killing Art once more.
"Rooaaar~~~" This White Tiger Killing Art was just as devastating as the first. But the Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique that Murong Mingtian had employed was far inferior to the Forbidden Soul-Locking Talisman Jiang Qisha had used before.
So, when this White Tiger Killing Art surged forth, it required barely any effort at all — expending only a quarter of its power — to shatter Murong Mingtian's Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique. And after breaking through that technique, the White Tiger Killing Art opened its massive, blood-red maw and lunged toward Murong Mingtian to tear him apart.
"Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique." With his attack broken, Murong Mingtian panicked but did not lose his composure. He thrust his King-grade weapon forward once more, unleashing yet another Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique.
Moreover, this Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique detonated before it even reached the White Tiger Killing Art, exploding into a violently swirling mass of energy that instantly engulfed the White Tiger Killing Art within it.
"Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique! Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique! Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique!!!"
After that sphere of energy materialized, Murong Mingtian unleashed three more Forbidden Illusory Sword Techniques in rapid succession. Every single one plunged into the energy sphere, and with each addition, the sphere's destructive power doubled. After three consecutive explosions, the sphere had become extraordinarily terrifying — like a miniature sun suspended in midair, radiating its menace in all directions.
Murong Mingtian's thinking was straightforward. He knew his Forbidden Illusory Sword Technique was no match for Chu Feng's White Tiger Killing Art, so he had devised this method — to use the combined might of four Forbidden Illusory Sword Techniques to neutralize and dismantle Chu Feng's White Tiger Killing Art, thereby preserving his own life.
"Chu Feng, your secret technique is certainly formidable. But unfortunately, you're still too green." Gazing at the exploding sphere of energy and sensing the White Tiger Killing Art being torn apart within it, Murong Mingtian's lips curled into a cold smirk as he murmured to himself:
"I am a true Seventh-rank Martial King. And what are you? You only obtained your current cultivation through the Celestial Turn Mystic Art. Forbidden elixirs are useless against you, and you can no longer rely on any other pills or means of boosting your strength. With only that paltry bit of cultivation from the Piaomiao Fairy, how long can you possibly hold out against me?"
"Even if your martial technique surpasses my own, when it comes to reserves, I can outlast you to death, boy. This is the difference in combat experience. Trying to fight me? You're far too naive!"
"Rooooaaar~~~"
But just as Murong Mingtian believed his strategy had succeeded, a thunderous tiger's roar rang out once again. Immediately following it, a white figure burst forth from within the energy sphere — it was a brand-new White Tiger Killing Art. Chu Feng had executed the Supreme Secret Technique three times in succession.
"This… this… this… how is this possible?!" Staring at the ferocious white tiger, Murong Mingtian — who moments ago had been smugly smiling with self-satisfaction — instantly turned deathly pale.
