"It's the Holy Son!"
Upon seeing the one who forced Wu Sanyun back, the disciples of the Haotian Sect cheered with joy. This was the peerless prodigy personally sought out by their most powerful Ancestor, a pinnacle Ninth Stage Great Emperor at the age of merely twenty.
"No!"
"The Holy Son's aura... the Venerable realm. Holy Son, he has broken through!"
A Venerable realm cultivator in his teens? This was astonishing!
Good heavens... their Holy Son was far more formidable than they had imagined.
Furthermore!
It seemed their Holy Son, having just broken through to the Venerable realm, had already repelled the young master of the Third Stage Venerable from the Wu King's Mansion of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom with a single sword strike. The implications of this combat power were obvious.
Of course, this wasn't to say Wu Sanyun of the Wu King's Mansion was weak, but rather that their Holy Son's combat prowess was overwhelmingly superior!
"Oh?"
Hearing the discussions of the surrounding Haotian Sect disciples, Wu Sanyun's gaze also fell upon Feng Chen. Looking at the young man before him, who was even younger than himself, a sense of jealousy inexplicably welled up. "Holy Son of Haotian Sect, quite interesting."
"Finally, someone worth my attention."
A murderous glint flickered in Wu Sanyun's eyes. Looking at Feng Chen, he felt his dignity had been trampled and ravaged as never before. "A mere First Stage Venerable dares to make a move against me? You're seeking death!!"
"Wu King Seal - Pardon!"
Without delay, Wu Sanyun unleashed an attack. Under the seal technique, a colossal seal dozens of feet in size materialized in the air, adorned with abstruse patterns and pulsating with energy.
An unparalleled might permeated the void. Feng Chen also sensed the extraordinary nature of this "Wu King Seal," and dared not underestimate it.
Taking a deep breath, he murmured, "In that case, let's activate the Invincible Sword Domain."
As Feng Chen's will moved, the aura around him instantly intensified, a change that Wu Sanyun and the others immediately perceived.
"This... such terrifying sword intent!"
"Holy Son, what a formidable technique!!"
Wu Sanyun's heart sank. He felt an extremely potent threat emanating from Feng Chen's impending technique, a threat to his very life. It was clear that the move Feng Chen was brewing was far from simple.
Subsequently, Wu Sanyun accelerated the speed of his seal technique attack by several notches!
"Boy, die!!"
A cold glint erupted in Wu Sanyun's eyes. He had clearly decided to kill Feng Chen at this moment. He absolutely could not tolerate someone from the humble Haotian Sect possessing talent comparable to his own; such an existence would be an insult to him.
His prestige was inviolable, and so was that of the Wu King's Mansion!
"Invincible Sword Domain - Activate!"
The aura of the sword domain, with Feng Chen at its center, instantly enveloped an area of several dozen feet. Within this domain, Feng Chen felt like an absolute sovereign.
"Such a powerful feeling!"
Feng Chen smacked his lips, his mind flashing with images of his master's Invincible Spear Domain. "Damn it, is this the Invincible Sword Domain, just like master's Invincible Spear Domain? But... it seems I haven't grasped the true essence of master's technique."
"However, it's more than enough to deal with the current situation."
Then, a smile curved Feng Chen's lips. Gripping his sword with both hands, he declared, "Slash!"
As Feng Chen brought his long sword down, a sword radiance over ten feet long appeared in the air. The terrifying sword qi shot straight into the sky, scattering the clouds above.
With a thunderous roar!
In an instant, the two attacks collided. However, immediately after, the Tenth Elder of the Wu King's Mansion's face changed drastically. "Not good!"
Without hesitation, the Tenth Elder intervened, blocking the residual shockwave of the over ten-foot sword radiance. As for Wu Sanyun, he was directly repelled dozens of feet by the attack, blood gushing from him uncontrollably. A gaping wound appeared on his chest, revealing the stark white bone beneath.
"Hiss~~"
Witnessing this, everyone present gasped in unison. Their gazes then fell upon Feng Chen, who stood unmoving in his original spot – their Holy Son.
Their eyes underwent an unprecedented change at this moment!
Admiration, fervor...
A myriad of emotions surged from their hearts.
"You... impossible!"
The young master of the Wu King's Mansion, Wu Sanyun, stared at Feng Chen in stunned disbelief. Regurgitated blood welled up, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, his face growing even paler.
Unbelievable!
At this moment, it was clear that the scene before him far exceeded Wu Sanyun's comprehension. How could he have lost!
That kid, a mere First Stage Venerable, why was that sword strike so powerful, leaving him no chance to resist.
Damn it!
"Tenth Elder, kill him for me!"
"I will bear all consequences!!"
Wu Sanyun clearly could not tolerate Feng Chen living in his sight for another second.
"Understood, Young Master!"
A cold smile played on the lips of the Tenth Elder. The aura of a Sixth Stage Void Ancestor surged, instantly pressing down on Feng Chen. However, Feng Chen, who was merely a First Stage Venerable at this moment, was no match for the Tenth Elder of the Wu King's Mansion, a Sixth Stage Void Ancestor. He immediately felt a surge of blood in his throat.
"Tenth Elder of the Wu King's Mansion, how dare you!"
Just then, a majestic voice boomed out. A figure then appeared on the scene. This person was none other than the Sect Master of the Haotian Sect, Wu Batian. As his voice fell, he unleashed a palm strike towards the Tenth Elder of the Wu King's Mansion.
With a bang.
They separated after a single contact, both Wu Batian and the Tenth Elder of the Wu King's Mansion retreating. Clearly, they were evenly matched in this exchange.
"Hmph!?"
Wu Sanyun's expression darkened upon seeing the person who had intervened. "Sect Master of Haotian Sect, Wu Batian??"
"Slap~"
Without a second thought, Wu Batian slapped Wu Sanyun, sending him flying several feet away. "Haotian Immortal Kingdom, Wu King's Mansion, do you truly believe our Haotian Sect is easily bullied?"
"After countless years, our Haotian Sect has long since severed all ties with the Wu clan of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom."
"From this day forward, the Haotian Sect and the Haotian Immortal Kingdom are strangers, with no further relationship!"
With a cold snort, Wu Batian glanced at Wu Sanyun. "That slap just now was on behalf of your elders, teaching you how to respect others."
"You... Pfft~~"
Before Wu Sanyun could utter a word, his severe injuries caused him to spew out another mouthful of blood. This sight brought immense satisfaction to the disciples of the Haotian Sect. Damn it, the Sect Master is so domineering! Hmph, you little mongrel of the Wu King's Mansion, try to utter another word if you dare!
"Wu Batian, you..."
"Silence!!"
Before the Tenth Elder of the Wu King's Mansion could speak, he was silenced by Wu Batian's roar. His murderous intent, no longer concealed, permeated the void. "I may not dare to kill Wu Sanyun, but if you say one more word, I will ensure you perish at my Haotian Sect. Do you believe me?"
The Tenth Elder of the Wu King's Mansion, "!!!"
With wide eyes, the Tenth Elder's face turned red with suppressed anger. However, he understood perfectly that Wu Batian was capable of carrying out his threat. While he wasn't afraid of Wu Batian himself, any one of the Ancestors of the Haotian Sect could instantly kill him.
Seeing the Tenth Elder of the Wu King's Mansion bewildered and fearful, the disciples of the Haotian Sect laughed even more heartily. Damn, this feels so good, it's been so long since they felt this exhilarated. Tsk, tsk~~
