"What kind of crooked technique is that?"
Baili Zilin was in utter panic. His instincts told him that disaster was about to befall him.
So he spread open his palm, and a teleportation talisman appeared. Without any hesitation, he activated it immediately.
In an instant, a massive surge of teleportation force erupted from the talisman, attempting to envelop Baili Zilin.
Chu Feng could tell at a glance that the teleportation talisman Baili Zilin had produced was an escape tool.
And this talisman's power was extremely formidable—beyond his ability to suppress.
So he hastily swung another sword strike.
Although the teleportation force had already spread, wrapping around most of Baili Zilin's body, Chu Feng's strike still severed the remaining half of Baili Zilin's arm and leg that were still exposed.
Although Baili Zilin escaped, Chu Feng didn't really care.
He hadn't come here looking for Baili Zilin in the first place. Encountering him was purely coincidental.
He hadn't truly intended to kill Baili Zilin earlier either—he had merely wanted to capture him as a hostage.
After all, with Chen Hui already in hand, if he could also capture Baili Zilin, then the top geniuses of both the Ancient and New factions would be in his grasp.
Chu Feng refused to believe that Baili Xukong would care about Chen Hui's life but disregard his own son's life.
But failing to capture him didn't matter. After all, Chu Feng's true purpose was to rescue Fengling.
However, the encounter with Baili Zilin had given Chu Feng an idea.
At that moment, Baili Zilin had already used the teleportation talisman's power to reach a safe zone within the formation space.
However, blood was gushing from the stumps of his severed arm and leg.
No matter what method Baili Zilin tried, he couldn't stop the bleeding.
This was a wound that had struck at his very soul, leaving his complexion and lips pale as paper.
"Damn it, damn it."
"This damn Chu Feng."
"What technique was that just now?"
"And why would he come here?"
Everything had happened too suddenly. Baili Zilin had been somewhat dazed. Seeing Chu Feng and attacking immediately had been a purely instinctive reaction.
"Could it be...?"
But once he calmed down, he figured out the reason.
Chu Feng had come to rescue Fengling.
So, enduring the pain, he headed toward where Fengling was being held.
...
By the time Baili Zilin realized what was happening, Chu Feng had already reached the innermost depths of the palace where Fengling and the others were imprisoned.
However, Chu Feng had already taken on Baili Zilin's appearance.
When Chu Feng kicked open the massive prison door with a single strike, Fengling finally appeared before his eyes.
And at the sight of Fengling, Chu Feng felt rage boil over in his heart.
The Fengling before him bore no resemblance to the stunning beauty she had once been.
Her skin was shriveled and full of wrinkles. Her once-dark hair had turned completely white.
Her aura was incredibly weak—she barely had the strength to even open her eyes.
And Zhao Feng, who stood before Fengling, was still using a formation to devour her power.
"Brother Zilin?"
Zhao Feng looked at Chu Feng and was immediately stunned.
After all, in his eyes, that was his revered younger brother—Baili Zilin.
"Release her!!!"
Chu Feng spoke.
Though he was seething with fury inside, he maintained his composure. His tone carried authority, but he did not reveal his anger.
Chu Feng didn't recognize the Zhao Feng before him, but from the man's demeanor and tone, he could tell that the man feared Baili Zilin.
So as he spoke, Chu Feng had already moved to Fengling's side. Regardless of Zhao Feng's reaction, he directly stepped in to rescue her.
Sure enough, Zhao Feng didn't dare to obstruct him. Instead, he stepped aside, growing even more nervous.
Then Chu Feng turned his gaze toward the Iron Prison that held the heaven and earth oddities captive.
Though Chu Feng had come here to rescue Fengling, seeing the wretched condition of those heaven and earth oddities only added to the fury in his heart.
"Release them."
Chu Feng said.
"Brother Zilin, what are you doing? Those are mediums used for cultivation..."
Zhao Feng was confused and tried to seek an explanation.
"Do I need to explain myself to you?"
Chu Feng raised his sharp brows, making his displeasure plain.
"No, no, of course not, of course not."
Zhao Feng was badly frightened and hurriedly released all the heaven and earth oddities.
Chu Feng casually produced a treasure and collected all the heaven and earth oddities into it, then headed for the exit.
In truth, Chu Feng very much wanted to eliminate Zhao Feng on the spot. But he had also sensed that Zhao Feng's aura was that of a first-tier Heavenly God.
Moreover, the Prison Sect possessed an observation grand formation that knew his current location.
The powerful experts of the Prison Sect and the Seven Realms Holy Sanctuary would soon arrive here.
So after Chu Feng brought Ziling out of the prison cell, he paused and turned back to give Zhao Feng one look.
That single gaze was brimming with killing intent.
"Your life—I will come to collect it."
