"Oh no! This guy has actually been able to skillfully control that magical martial arts technique. I've been tricked!!!"
At this moment, the Hundred-Face Elder suddenly realized that he had been deceived. Because Chu Feng was already able to freely control Long Yu Ji Tian and apply it in battles. The reason he had been running around earlier was to weaken the vigilance of the Hundred-Face Elder and launch this surprise attack.
Although the Hundred-Face Elder was also startled by Chu Feng's move, he was not an ordinary person. With rich combat experience, he merely gazed blankly for a moment before quickly concentrating his mind and casting a blue barrier, placing it in front of himself.
However, he never expected that at this critical moment, Chu Feng's left hand suddenly appeared an attack symbol, and that attack symbol had landed on the barrier he had formed.
This attack symbol was crafted by Vice President Gao and was extremely powerful. It could even break through the barrier array set up by Jie Yan. The barrier of the Hundred-Face Elder was simply unable to withstand it.
"Boom" a loud explosion sounded. The Hundred-Face Elder's barrier was broken. At the same time, Chu Feng's Shou Lu Ghost Axe had brutally struck the Hundred-Face Elder.
"Woah!"
A scream echoed, and a stream of blood spilled out. The Hundred-Face Elder transformed into a streak of light and fell down, crashing down onto the ground below, creating a deep pit. Thick smoke also rose into the air.
"Not right." However, Chu Feng, whose spiritual power was extremely sensitive, did not feel happy after hitting the Hundred-Face Elder. Instead, he frowned tightly, staring intently at the billowing smoke below, with a sense of unease rising in his heart.
Because he was astonished to find that when his axe struck the Hundred-Face Elder, there was a force that neutralized his attack, preventing the full power of the Shou Lu Ghost Axe from being exerted. This strike, Chu Feng did not kill the Hundred-Face Elder.
"You cunning little devil! If it weren't for this artificial wonder weapon protecting you, I would have almost suffered a great loss."
Sure enough, just as Chu Feng sensed something was wrong, the Hundred-Face Elder had transformed into a streak of light and slowly ascended from the billowing smoke.
At this moment, his lips were still stained with blood, his face was somewhat pale, and there was a bloody wound on his chest. But he was not fatally injured.
Moreover, his body was surrounded by a layer of light armor, the same as the wrist guards used by Song Qingfeng and others. Presumably, this light armor saved his life.
"Cloudy Fei, Liu Xiao Yao, and Tang Yi Xiu, were you the ones who killed them?" Chu Feng's eyes flickered as he shouted loudly.
"Exactly, it was me who killed them. I deliberately killed them to shift the blame onto you, causing the four major forces to be extremely angry. Then I volunteered myself to ask them to send me to kill you." The Hundred-Face Elder replied.
"So it's like this. But I don't understand. Why did you wait until now to kill me? Moreover, if you wanted the reward, killing me would be enough to get it. Why bother to volunteer yourself and go through all this trouble?" Chu Feng asked in confusion.
"The reason is simple. I want your wonder weapon, but I also want the reward. So I asked them to pay me half of the reward first, and then strike you. Even if I break the contract, I won't lose anything."
"But the four major forces are not fools. Even if my reputation is the best, they won't give me fifty thousand celestial pearls for no reason. After all, this is not a small amount for them."
"So, I have to make them even more angry and eager to kill you. I can't wait for a moment."
"Now, I have succeeded. The final step is to take your life and get your wonder weapon." The Hundred-Face Elder said.
"So, you have fifty thousand celestial pearls on your body?" Chu Feng's mind stirred as he asked deliberately. "Ha ha, kid, you can't be thinking about my precious pearl, can you?" Hearing the meaning in Chu Feng's words, the hundred-faced old man couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter filled with mockery.
"Actually, what I wanted to say is that I'm going to seize those fifty thousand pearls of yours."
"Whirr"
Suddenly, Chu Feng leaped forward, transforming into a streak of light, speeding towards the hundred-faced old man from the front.
"Humph, do you think I'm still afraid of you at this moment?" However, the hundred-faced old man was not afraid at all. Instead, he even flew back towards Chu Feng.
"Boom boom boom boom"
In the blink of an eye, the two engaged in battle in one place. Waves of powerful energy ripples kept exploding in the air, like fireworks, dazzling the people in the city.
Such a scene left the commoners in the city dumbfounded. Now this city was surrounded by layers of barriers, and the people inside found it difficult to escape. At first, they didn't know what was going on, but after seeing Chu Feng and the hundred-faced old man in the air, they finally understood what had happened.
It turned out that the hundred-faced old man was coming to catch up with Chu Feng. This city became the battlefield for the two. Fortunately, the hundred-faced old man had set up many barriers, and to limit Chu Feng's speed, he even narrowed the range of the innermost barrier array.
This also made the battle circle smaller, preventing the people in the city from being affected. Otherwise, with their strength, a fierce battle would have turned this city into ruins, and the people inside would have perished.
The hundred-faced old man, with the help of his artificial wonder weapons, had greatly increased his speed and strength. He was even stronger than before, several times over. Especially when he applied the barrier technique with great enthusiasm, he had become both offensive and defensive.
As for Chu Feng, with his wonder weapon in hand, his offensive was not to be underestimated. Especially when paired with his absolute speed, even the hundred-faced old man couldn't be careless.
The battle between the two was extremely intense. Chu Feng, with the cultivation of the Eightfold Great Turtle and special means, used his superb skills to fight against the hundred-faced old man, the first killer of the Heavenly Martial Realm. They fought closely, for several hours, without a clear winner.
"Kid, I have to admit that you are a talent. At this age, you have achieved so much. If you enter the Heavenly Martial Realm in the future, perhaps even the Jiangshi Empire will have to take you seriously."
"But unfortunately, you will surely die at my hands today. My patience has run out. I don't have the time to linger here with you. Just make a quick decision."
The hundred-faced old man's figure flashed, and he managed to shake off Chu Feng. Then he landed below and once again activated the barrier array.
He is trying to further reduce the space for the battle, hoping to leave Chu Feng with no chance to escape. In this way, he can easily kill Chu Feng.
"Damn it, we can only use that move to fight for it."
Chu Feng, being so intelligent, immediately understood the intention of the hundred-faced old man. First, he scanned the area and looked at the layer upon layer of barriers surrounding the city. Then, his gaze suddenly became sharp, and he leaped forward, rushing towards the hundred-faced old man who was controlling the barrier formation.
