According to his intelligence, Chu Feng’s true cultivation was that of a rank five Martial King. However, he possessed a special method that allowed him to increase his cultivation to that of a rank seven Martial King. In his eyes, a rank seven Martial King was akin to trash. Even if that rank seven Martial King possessed a battle power capable of surmounting three levels, he would still not put them in his eyes and would be able to easily ma.s.sacre that rank seven Martial King.
However, the strength that Chu Feng now revealed was different from what he knew about. Chu Feng was no rank seven Martial King at all. Instead, he was a rank eight Martial King.
Although it was only the gap of a single level of cultivation, that single level of cultivation created an enormous pressure, a great amount of problems for him.
At the very least, at this very moment, Chu Feng’s true battle power was already the same as his own; they were both comparable to a rank two Half Martial Emperor. After all, Chu Feng’s heaven-defying battle power was more powerful than his own. He was only able to surmount two levels of cultivation. Yet, Chu Feng was able to surmount three levels of cultivation.
Chu Feng did not try to dissemble and not answer Sun Hao’s question. Instead, in a calm and indifferent manner, he said, “No, I did not try to conceal my cultivation. Merely, I had just coincidentally made a breakthrough.” It was as if he had just said a very insignificant and trivial thing.
“What? Chu Feng, he actually managed to break through in such a short period of time?”
However, Chu Feng’s words came like a boulder being dropped into a lake. In an instant, the boulder created giant waves. Not a single person present didn't have an expression of shock at what they had just heard.
After all, it had only been such a short period of time since Chu Feng had fought against Sun Lei and the Huang siblings. Yet Chu Feng actually managed to achieve a breakthrough in such a short period of time? How could they not be shocked?
A breakthrough speed that fast was truly too frightening.
“This child’s talent is too powerful. Regardless of whether this battle will end in victory or defeat, Sun Hao will not be able to stand up again after this.” [1.As in his reputation/talent will have been surpa.s.sed by Chu Feng’s.]
“For the Cyanwood Mountain to have such a genius, it is truly a matter of envy. After this child matures, the Cyanwood Mountain’s status among the Nine Powers will definitely increase.” At this moment, some of the older generation’s experts began to exclaim in succession. The gazes with which they looked to Chu Feng became filled with admiration and appreciation.
“Why is that?” Hearing those words, many of the members of the younger generation like Chu Feng expressed their confusion.
Hearing this question, the experts from the older generation all gave an identical answer, “Although Sun Hao is powerful, he is over forty years old. However, Chu Feng is only in his early twenties.”
“Although, in terms of age, the both of them belong to the younger generation, Sun Hao is actually twice Chu Feng’s age, over twenty years older than Chu Feng.”
“However, at this time, Sun Hao’s battle power is only on par with Chu Feng’s. What does this mean? No, it does not mean that Sun Hao is weak. Instead, it means that Chu Feng is too powerful. The potential that child possesses is immeasurable.”
“Furthermore, based on his age, Chu Feng has only, at the very most, begun martial cultivation for a dozen or so years. Yet, this Sun Hao began martial cultivation over thirty years ago. A person that has only cultivated for a dozen or so years being able to obtain a battle power on par with another who has cultivated for over thirty years. This sort of talent is truly frightening.”
“Exactly what is the origin of this Chu Feng? Could it be that he really is an otherworldly genius? A legendary demon-level character?”
After hearing the words that the experts from the older generation said, the younger generation began to have a whole new level of respect and adoration for Chu Feng. Even the three Zhou siblings who had looked down on Chu Feng in the past began to admire him from the bottoms of their hearts.
“I don’t care if you have broken through or not, I will remain the victor in this battle.”
As if he’d heard the surrounding crowd’s praise for Chu Feng and belittling of his own worth, Sun Hao was deeply enraged, and he decided to direct all of his rage onto Chu Feng.
“Woosh, woosh, woosh.”
In anger, Sun Hao attacked. Holding his Royal Armament blade, he began to move about with profound footsteps. In an instant, he arrived before Chu Feng. With great might, he ruthlessly hacked his Royal Armament blade towards one of Chu Feng’s lethal spots. [1.Bee, why wouldn’t you specify where he was hacking his blade at? There are a lot of lethal places in someone’s body…]
“Humph.”
Facing Sun Hao’s close-range attack, Chu Feng snorted coldly. Holding the Demon Sealing Sword in his hand, he swung it forward to face the incoming attack.
The two of them began to fight at close range. Both of them held a Royal Armament in their hands. Neither of them used any sort of special martial skill. Relying only on their Royal Armaments and their powerful battle power, they began to fight viciously against one another in the sky.
“Clank, clank, clank, clank.” As the Royal Armaments collided with one another, explosions sprang forth. Soon the blade and sword gave rise to silhouettes in the sky, and frantic energy ripples soon engulfed this region of s.p.a.ce.
However, the experts present were still able to use their sharp eyes to see through the ripples and see the figures of the two fighters.
The eyes of all of those that managed to see Chu Feng and Sun Hao’s battle shone with brightness. They were all deeply admiring Chu Feng and Sun Hao’s strength.
The battle between Chu Feng and Sun Hao was not only very valiant, it was also one that none of them could find fault with. Regardless of whether it might Chu Feng’s Royal Armament, the Demon Sealing Sword, or Sun Hao’s Royal Armament blade, both were having their might brilliantly unleashed by the two fighters.
Both Chu Feng and Sun Hao managed to live up to the name of being possessors of top quality Royal Armaments.
However, no matter how powerful the two of them might be, the difference in strength would inevitably be shown. Logically, Sun Hao’s cultivation was a level above Chu Feng’s cultivation. Thus, he should have been the one that occupied superiority in the intense confrontation.
However, the truth was contrary to what everyone expected. After a bout of blade and sword collisions where the two fighters were equally matched, the gap in strength between the two fighters gradually revealed itself. However, the person who ended up being superior was not Sun Hao. Instead, it was Chu Feng.
“Woosh, woosh, woosh.”
“Aoouuu~~~~~”
At this moment, the Demon Sealing Sword in Chu Feng’s hand did not appear like a weapon at all. Instead, it appeared more like a vicious beast.
Its bellows shook the heavens as it emitted sword rays in succession.
Being controlled by Chu Feng, the Demon Sealing Sword was capable of simply sweeping everything before its path; it was completely unparalleled.
Even though the two Royal Armaments were colliding into one another, crossing blades head-on, the Demon Sealing Sword still ended up being in the stronger position. Every single time it collided with the Royal Armament blade in Sun Hao’s hand, it would give forth a series of sparkles and a fierce and frantic energy ripple. After that, both Sun Hao’s Royal Armament blade and Sun Hao himself would be knocked back by it.
At this very moment, Sun Hao was at an absolute disadvantage. He was simply unable to contend against Chu Feng at all.
“Clank, clank, clank.”
In this sort of situation, Chu Feng grew braver the more he fought, fiercer the more he attacked. He was planning to force Sun Hao into the corner and badly batter him so that he would lose completely and thoroughly.
“Heh…” However, at this moment when everyone felt, at this moment when even Chu Feng himself felt that his victory was within his grasp, Sun Hao suddenly displayed a strange smile on his face.
At the moment that smile appeared, the Royal Armament blade in Sun Hao’s hand started to slightly tremble. After that, a burst of strange yet powerful aura started to emit from Sun Hao’s body and enter his Royal Armament.
