"Those who come to invade my Chu Family today, die!"
Chu Feng's voice was sonorous and powerful, each word piercing the soul. Almost everyone who heard it couldn't help but tremble, a chill running up their spines. Even the Chu Family members felt the same.
Because the youth before them was simply too terrifying. Covered in blood and radiating a piercing killing aura, it was impossible to see him as just a boy. Instead, an involuntary image of a devil, a merciless killer who wouldn't bat an eye, took hold in their minds.
"Who are you?" the head of the Xu Family shouted first. Everyone eagerly wanted this answer.
Although one could tell from his attire that Chu Feng was a Core Disciple of the Azure Dragon Sect, and although the Azure Dragon banner he held also indicated the same, his entire body was drenched in blood, his face completely obscured. No one knew who he was. And since he had just declared himself a member of the Chu Family, it left everyone bewildered.
Because none of them knew when such a youth had appeared in the Chu Family, or when they had gained a Core Disciple. Even the Chu Family themselves were unaware.
"Chu Family, Chu Feng!" Chu Feng replied coldly.
"What? Chu Feng?"
"It's Feng'er?!!!"
However, Chu Feng's words sent an even bigger shockwave through the crowd.
The name Chu Feng had already resounded throughout the hundred-li vicinity of Kaoshan Town days ago. He was a figure known to practically everyone.
But according to what people knew, Chu Feng was only fifteen years old, and had been at the Spirit Martial Sixth Stage back then. How could he have become a Core Disciple? How could he so easily kill an expert at the Spirit Martial Eighth Stage?
Although they couldn't believe it, after a closer look, people were shocked to find that both his build and his silhouette bore a striking resemblance to Chu Feng.
Most importantly, Chu Feng was indeed a disciple of the Azure Dragon Sect. And if a Core Disciple were to emerge from the Chu Family, he was the most likely candidate.
"So it's you, little brat! You're the one who broke my grandson, Xu Tianyi's, back?" the head of the Xu Family demanded viciously.
"His skills were inferior. Breaking his back was an act of mercy," Chu Feng replied dismissively.
"You!!!" The Xu Family head was furious and was about to act.
But before he could make a move, he was stopped by the heads of the Wang and Ma Families beside him, who solemnly warned him: "Don't you see what he's holding? That's the Azure Dragon Banner!"
"So what if it's the Azure Dragon Banner! This brat left my grandson bedridden, unable to walk even now, and he might never cultivate again! Today, I will kill him!" the Xu Family head roared in rage.
"Are you insane? The Azure Dragon Banner is the symbol of the Azure Dragon Sect. Possessing it means he's under the Sect's protection. If you dare touch Chu Feng, don't just worry about yourself—our two families will face disaster as well!"
The two family heads were truly afraid. They didn't fear the Chu Family, but they had to fear the Azure Dragon Sect. Although the Azure Dragon Sect was only a second-tier sect within Qingzhou, to them it was a true colossus. Let alone the Sect sending an army; just sending a few Inner Sect Elders would be enough to easily annihilate their families. It was something they absolutely dared not provoke or offend.
"It's you two who are crazy! Do we even have a way to turn back now? Look at what we've done to the Chu Family!" he roared back.
