Chapter 10: Your Grandfather Is Lying on the Ground!
"How did Chu Feng kill Chu Hongyuan?" Chu Tianyue continued to ask.
"We don't know what kind of sorcery Chu Feng used, but he struck Great-Uncle Yuan with a single punch and left him critically wounded."
"Not long after Great-Uncle Yuan was carried back, he died!" the blue-robed attendant said with a grief-stricken expression.
"A single punch?" Chu Tianyue was utterly dumbfounded.
"Clan Master!"
"Grand Elder!"
At that moment, Second Elder Chu Wenshan heard the commotion and stepped out, giving a slight bow to Chu Tianyue and Chu Maode.
"Chu Wenshan, why didn't you save my son?"
"Did you want my son dead all along?" The moment Chu Maode saw Chu Wenshan, he immediately demanded furiously.
"Grand Elder, the moment the incident occurred, I rushed over at once and had people carry Hongyuan away for treatment."
"But his injuries were simply too severe — there was nothing that could be done." Chu Wenshan said calmly.
"Second Elder, was Hongyuan truly killed by Chu Feng with a single punch?" Chu Tianyue asked, finding it hard to believe.
"Yes!"
"Chu Feng used some kind of bizarre fist technique — with a single strike, he completely annihilated Hongyuan's life force!" Chu Wenshan said.
"A bizarre fist technique?"
Chu Tianyue came to a vague understanding, concluding that Chu Feng must have caught Chu Hongyuan off guard and used this strange technique to land a sneak attack, which was the only way he could have killed Chu Hongyuan in one blow.
"Where is that bastard Chu Feng?"
"Chu Wenshan, don't tell me you let him escape?" Chu Maode demanded furiously.
"Chu Feng is still within the clan grounds. I've already sent someone to summon him — he should arrive shortly." Chu Wenshan said in an even tone.
"That mongrel Chu Feng dares to kill my son and injure my grandson — when he gets here, I will flay him alive and tear him apart!" Chu Maode cursed viciously.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared before Chu Maode like a phantom.
Slap!
The dark figure delivered a vicious slap across Chu Maode's face!
Chu Maode staggered, nearly falling to the ground!
"???"
Chu Maode stood there in a daze, completely stunned!
Slap!
Swift as thunder, the dark figure struck again, landing another fierce slap on Chu Maode!
In an instant, Chu Maode's gaunt, withered face swelled up high!
The scene fell into a deathly silence!
Everyone stared blankly at the dark figure that had appeared out of nowhere, their faces filled with utter disbelief!
"Chu Feng?"
Once Chu Tianyue made out the dark figure, his jaw dropped in shock!
Chu Feng had actually managed to slap Chu Maode twice in a row!
One had to know that Chu Maode was a powerful cultivator at the second level of the True Spirit Stage!
This was... simply unbelievable!
"Ah!"
"Chu Feng, you mongrel — how dare you slap I, and you will die for this!"
A moment later, Chu Maode snapped back to his senses and launched a furious palm strike at Chu Feng.
Whoosh!
Chu Feng lightly sidestepped and dodged Chu Maode's attack with ease!
"Die!"
Seeing that Chu Feng had evaded his strike, Chu Maode pressed on with even fiercer attacks.
However, Chu Feng was using a Saint-grade movement technique from his previous life — the Phantom Shadow Step — and Chu Maode couldn't land a single hit, being led around in circles by Chu Feng.
"Ah! You mongrel, if you have any guts, stop dodging!"
Unable to touch Chu Feng, Chu Maode roared in a towering rage!
Slap!
Chu Feng blinked away in an instant and delivered yet another fierce slap to Chu Maode with a backhand!
"Ah!"
Chu Maode erupted into a frenzy and attacked Chu Feng madly.
He had lived for decades and had never once been slapped in the face — yet now Chu Feng had slapped him three times in a row!
Chu Maode was consumed with rage and wanted nothing more than to crush Chu Feng to death, but Chu Feng was simply too fast — he couldn't land a single blow!
"Demon Sha Palm!"
Suddenly, after dodging Chu Maode's attack with the Phantom Shadow Step, Chu Feng drove his palm squarely into Chu Maode's chest.
In an instant, Chu Maode spat out a torrent of blood and was sent flying back over ten meters!
"Ah!"
After crashing to the ground, Chu Maode kept rolling back and forth, looking as though he were in tremendous agony!
The Demon Sha Palm was a poison palm technique Chu Feng had cultivated in his previous life. This technique carried a deadly killing energy that invaded the body, slowly destroying the enemy's organs one by one, causing them to die in excruciating pain!
"Ah! What's wrong with the Grand Elder?"
"Why does he keep rolling around and vomiting blood?"
"It must be because of that palm strike Young Master Chu Feng just landed on him!"
"Young Master Chu Feng is far too powerful — even the strongest Grand Elder in the clan is no match for him!"
"The Grand Elder is no longer the strongest in our clan. From now on, the strongest person in our clan is Young Master Chu Feng!"
......
The Chu Clan disciples watching from the sidelines buzzed with discussion!
"Chu Feng, the Grand Elder, he..." Chu Wenshan asked with a face full of shock.
Earlier, when Chu Feng had said he would kill Chu Maode, Chu Wenshan had never believed it — he had even wanted to urge Chu Feng to flee quickly.
Yet now, Chu Feng had defeated Chu Maode so effortlessly, as if an adult were dealing with a small child — it was far too easy!
This left Chu Wenshan utterly stunned for a moment!
"Just a piece of trash." Chu Feng said indifferently.
Chu Feng could have killed Chu Maode outright, but he didn't want to let him die so easily.
"Chu Feng, you've actually become this powerful!" Chu Tianyue's face was also filled with shock, unable to believe that Chu Feng could have grown so strong!
Earlier, because of the matter with the spiritual vein mine, Chu Tianyue had been planning to punish Chu Feng severely.
But now that Chu Feng had become so formidable — even defeating Chu Maode — that plan was out of the question.
No matter what was said now, Chu Tianyue no longer dared to punish Chu Feng.
In fact, Chu Tianyue was even thinking of rewarding Chu Feng.
Chu Tianyue had long wanted to get rid of Chu Maode, but Chu Maode was powerful and cautious — there had been no way to kill him.
Yet now, Chu Feng had defeated Chu Maode so effortlessly!
"Mm." Chu Feng gave a light response and quietly watched Chu Maode writhing and screaming on the ground.
Suddenly, a burst of shouting came from the distance!
"Grandfather! Grandfather!"
Four servants were seen carrying Chu Jian on a stretcher, slowly making their way over.
Earlier, Chu Jian had learned from a servant that Chu Maode had returned, and he had immediately grown excited, demanding to be carried out.
Chu Feng had dared to injure him — he wanted to personally witness Chu Feng being cut to pieces and torn apart!
Only that would satisfy the hatred in his heart!
Chu Feng watched coldly as Chu Jian was carried over on the stretcher.
How convenient — three generations of Chu Jian's family were all gathered together. He could send them all to hell at once!
"Chu Feng, how are you still standing there unharmed? Where's my grandfather?"
After being carried over, Chu Jian spotted Chu Feng standing in the center and was somewhat puzzled as to how Chu Feng was still standing there perfectly fine.
"Grandfather, hurry and kill Chu Feng — he killed my father!"
Lying on his side on the stretcher, Chu Jian couldn't see Chu Maode at first, and he immediately cried out loudly!
"Your grandfather is lying on the ground." Chu Feng said coldly.
At this point, Chu Maode had already passed out from the pain, lying completely motionless on the ground.
"Grandfather?"
Only then did Chu Jian notice a figure lying on the ground not far away.
Chu Maode had been rolling around on the ground this whole time, leaving his clothes in tatters, and his face was swollen from the slaps Chu Feng had given him — Chu Jian didn't dare recognize him at first.
"This... how is this possible?"
A moment later, Chu Jian finally confirmed that the person lying on the ground was indeed his grandfather Chu Maode, and his expression instantly went blank.
"No, this can't be!" Chu Jian murmured to himself in disbelief.
His grandfather was the most powerful existence in the entire Chu Clan — how could he possibly be lying on the ground, on the verge of death?
