"Hmph."
However, despite Leng Yue being only a ninth-grade Half Emperor, she possessed combat power four levels above her realm—a Half Emperor capable of fighting a true Martial Emperor.
But even so, a Half Emperor was still a Half Emperor, and a Martial Emperor was ultimately a Martial Emperor. Though Leng Yue could hold her own against the Water Immortal Ultimate Technique, she was still slightly inferior in terms of overwhelming aura.
In this situation, Leng Yue had no choice but to begin employing her own martial skills, using their power to contend with the Water Immortal Ultimate Technique.
"Not bad, not bad. To think you could fight my Water Immortal Ultimate Technique to a standstill."
"Looks like that still isn't your limit. In that case, let me help you out." Chu Feng spoke with cold mockery from the sidelines, as if he were nothing more than a spectator.
As he spoke, his eyes flashed, and a colossal surge of flames erupted from within him with a thunderous boom, like a volcanic detonation.
The moment the flames burst forth, not only did a scorching wave of heat sweep across the sealed space, but the raging inferno also coalesced into a humanoid figure of fire. With the unstoppable momentum of flames scorching the heavens, it charged toward Leng Yue from a completely different direction.
"!!!"
Seeing the fire figure charge at her, Leng Yue's expression changed drastically. The aura radiating from the fire being was identical to that of the Water Immortal Ultimate Technique—it was also at the first-grade Martial Emperor level.
"The Fire Immortal Ultimate Technique—the long-lost Fire Immortal Ultimate Technique! Chu Feng, where did you obtain it?" Leng Yue was even more stunned upon recognizing the technique.
"That sort of thing, I have no obligation to tell you. You want to know? How about you perform a strip tease for me—if I'm in a good mood, I might consider telling you. Then again, there's another possibility: your figure is so ugly it makes me sick, and in that case… I definitely won't tell you." Chu Feng said with a grin.
The moment these words left Chu Feng's lips, Baili Xinghe sucked in a sharp breath. As the first disciple of the Heavenly Dao Villa, Leng Yue stood high above all others—who would ever dare speak so flippantly to her?
But Chu Feng had done exactly that.
"Chu Feng, you're courting death!" Upon hearing this, Leng Yue flew into a towering rage. As she spoke, her palm turned over, and a brilliant golden staff appeared in her hand.
The moment the staff materialized, waves of golden radiance surged outward from Leng Yue's body.
This was no ordinary staff—it was a semi-emperor weapon.
Swish, swish, swish— With the semi-emperor weapon in hand, Leng Yue's combat power surged dramatically. Facing two first-grade Martial Emperor-level opponents, she was no longer at a disadvantage—she had seized the upper hand.
This was especially true because Leng Yue's God-given divine power was a formidable wind-type force, and the semi-emperor weapon harmonized perfectly with it, amplifying her strength even further.
Whoosh, whoush, whoosh— Now, howling winds roared and explosions thundered everywhere. Under the ravaging gale, the water was no longer fierce, the fire no longer ferocious—Leng Yue was unstoppable, commanding an overwhelming advantage.
However, the Water Immortal Ultimate Technique and the Fire Immortal Ultimate Technique derived their strength from their inability to be destroyed. In this situation, no matter how powerful Leng Yue was, she couldn't eliminate them—she could only continue trading blows.
"Chu Feng, do you dare fight me yourself?" Leng Yue roared in fury.
"What's the matter? You can't even beat my secret techniques?"
"If you can't even handle my secret techniques, what right do you have to fight me?" Chu Feng fiddled with his sleeve with a bored air, as though he truly were nothing more than a spectator.
"I'm asking whether you dare or not!" Leng Yue was so frustrated she could barely breathe—Chu Feng's words were enough to make her internal organs erupt with rage.
But even in her fury, she forced herself to focus.
She hadn't taken Chu Feng seriously before, but she never expected that just two of his secret techniques had pushed her to this point—forcing her to unleash both her God-given divine power and her semi-emperor weapon.
She wanted to end this fight as quickly as possible, but the only way to do that was to face Chu Feng directly, not continue tangling with these two techniques.
"Leng Yue, oh Leng Yue, you're forcing my hand. But let me warn you in advance—having me, Chu Feng, take action means you'd better be prepared to pay the price." As he spoke, Chu Feng produced a semi-emperor weapon of his own—a sword.
The blade was extraordinarily thin, so slender it barely resembled a sword at all—it looked more like a long, narrow ruler. But it was not only a sword; it was the legendary Celestial Immortal Sword.
"Enough talk. Use your real strength and fight me!" Leng Yue bellowed once more.
"The Water Immortal Ultimate Technique and the Fire Immortal Ultimate Technique are my real strength." With the Celestial Immortal Sword in hand, Chu Feng stepped through the void, walking toward Leng Yue one stride at a time. "But since you insist on fighting me personally… I suppose I can grant you that."
