Chapter 2008: The Only Choice_2

Chen Feng’s lips curled up slightly, and he spoke with a playful expression.

Upon hearing Chen Feng’s words, Elder Zhao’s face changed slightly, then he glared at Chen Feng and said coldly, “Then are you saying that your true strength really reaches Heavenly Rank Perfection?”

“No, no, no!”

Chen Feng coldly smiled and shook his head.

Seeing this, Elder Zhao also sighed in relief.

Because if Chen Feng truly possessed the strength of Heavenly Rank Perfection, he would feel his lifetime of cultivation had been in vain.

It must be known that.

He had worked hard on his cultivation all his life, and had only reached Heavenly Rank Perfection.

Yet Chen Feng achieved Heavenly Rank Perfection in just over twenty years.

This made him truly feel like a failure!

Now, Chen Feng shook his head to deny it, bringing him some comfort.

However, at this moment.

Chen Feng suddenly continued, “My true strength is not just Heavenly Rank Perfection; it’s beyond Heavenly Rank Perfection. Otherwise, do you think I could have wiped out the army of Heavenly Rank experts from your Nether Flame Hall?”

Upon hearing Chen Feng’s words.

Elder Zhao was stunned, then laughed heartily, full of disbelief, “Chen Feng, stop kidding. I admit you’re remarkable to reach Heavenly Rank at such a young age, but you’re exaggerating too much. Even having the strength of Heavenly Rank Perfection seems impossible, let alone surpassing it!

“Do you know what kind of existence that is? Surpassing Heavenly Rank Perfection is only a level that our sect’s Great Elder Ming Kun has reached. You’re still far from that level, not even I’ve reached it yet! How can a young man of just 20 years reach such a level? At least draft your boasts!”

However.

Facing Elder Zhao’s disdain.

Chen Feng’s lips also curled into a playful arc, then with a thought, he took the Flame Treasure Tower out of the Space Ring.

In an instant, Chen Feng’s aura surged immensely.

Seeing this, Elder Zhao was stunned, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As an elder of Nether Flame Hall, he naturally recognized the genuine divine artifact in Chen Feng’s hand.

What surprised him was that Chen Feng, the head of a minor third-rate family, could casually produce a divine artifact, and it seemed to harmonize well with Chen Feng’s True Qi, complementing each other in effect.

This made Elder Zhao’s face turn quite ugly for a moment.

As a Heavenly Rank Perfection expert, he was no ignoramus, and naturally understood how terrifying it would be once Chen Feng and the Flame Treasure Tower could integrate.

Chen Feng’s strength could definitely surpass Heavenly Rank Perfection!

This is the defiance of a divine artifact!

However, what Elder Zhao didn’t expect was.

Chen Feng, at a young age and in the Heavenly Rank Middle Stage realm, already possessed the true strength of Heavenly Rank Perfection.

That aside.

But he also possessed a low-grade divine artifact, and most remarkably, this low-grade divine artifact matched his attributes perfectly.

This was truly significant.

Because he deeply understood the terror in this.

With Chen Feng’s current strength, as long as he could unleash the power of this low-grade divine artifact, he would absolutely be able to surpass Heavenly Rank Perfection, possibly even contend with experts like Ming Kun.

Thinking of this.

Elder Zhao’s face turned somber.

He glared at Chen Feng and asked coldly, “So, you have this trick up your sleeve! Where did you get this low-grade divine artifact from?”

“I’m afraid that has nothing to do with you. You just need to know that my strength surpasses yours, and besides me, there’s an expert whose strength is equal to yours. Do you think that we two together couldn’t defeat you? And now there’s only you left at Heavenly Rank Perfection in your Nether Flame Hall, possibly even no other Heavenly Rank experts left. Do you think you alone can resist us both?”

Chen Feng coldly chuckled.

Upon hearing Chen Feng’s words, Elder Zhao’s face turned extremely ugly.

Now, it was not just about Chen Feng and Liang Tian teaming up.

Just Liang Tian alone posed a considerable challenge to him.

And Chen Feng was an existence he couldn’t contend with at present.

If Chen Feng and Liang Tian joined forces, the outcome was inevitable — defeat without a doubt!

Moreover, there was no one within Nether Flame Hall to support him now.

After all, earlier this morning Ming Lun led Elder Li, Elder Wang, and all the Heavenly Rank experts of the Yan Hall to attack the Chen Family. Now, Nether Flame Hall was vulnerable, with no combat power above Heavenly Rank, leaving only him at Heavenly Rank Perfection to guard the place.

In this situation, he would be unable to withstand Chen Feng and Liang Tian.

Moreover, there was no one available to support him.

If a battle broke out, he would be defeated, and once defeated, the rest of Yan Hall would have no ground to fight.

Therefore, at this moment, Elder Zhao felt deeply powerless.

His mind spun swiftly, pondering a solution.

In this situation, surrender seemed the only path to survival.

However, as an elder of Yan Hall, he carried a sense of pride; surrendering to a third-rate family like Chen Feng was, in his view, a humiliation.

Yet, while Elder Zhao pondered a counter-plan.

Chen Feng would not give him much time, immediately said to Elder Zhao, “Thinking of a solution? Formulating a counter-plan? Stop it, now you have only the path of surrender, everything else leads to death. I can tell you very clearly, understand?”

“Chen Feng, although our Nether Flame Hall has fallen to this state now, are you really set on annihilating us completely?”

Elder Zhao’s face darkened, he gritted his teeth and said.

“Am I annihilating your Nether Flame Hall? If our Chen Family didn’t have the strength, wouldn’t it be our Chen Family being annihilated right now? The Ancient Martial World is fundamentally a world where the strong prey on the weak. At this point, you’re talking sentiment to me, isn’t it a bit late?”

“Don’t forget, the initiator of this conflict was not our Chen Family but your Yan Hall. From the beginning, you didn’t take our Chen Family seriously, finding ways to crush us, but now it has developed to this point; so, all the causes and effects are due to your Yan Hall. Now that this matter has emerged, you’re reversing it, speaking to me like this, don’t you find it rather laughable?”

Chen Feng asked coldly.

“Yes, you’re right. At first, it was indeed our Yan Hall repeatedly attempting to put your Chen Family to death, but later our Yan Hall also suffered a heavy price, including now, with only me remaining. Do you think that the price Yan Hall paid isn’t high enough? Why don’t you turn a blind eye, spare us Yan Hall, and henceforth the two families could form an alliance, which could serve as more reliance in this world where the strong prey on the weak; wouldn’t that be good?”

Elder Zhao attempted to negotiate.

As currently, negotiation was his only available option.

“No, no, no! You seem to have misunderstood the situation, as now, Yan Hall has neither room to bargain with me nor the qualification to become an ally of Chen Family. If your Yan Hall had the right attitude from the beginning, that might have been possible, but given the current situation, your Yan Hall has lost all qualifications!”

“Let me tell you one last time, now you and Yan Hall have only one option left, which is to surrender. I, Chen Feng, have said, after today, the Ancient Martial World will see no Nether Flame Hall anymore. If you and those in Yan Hall do not wish to die, surrender quickly; this is my final warning to you, do not attempt to negotiate further, or next, I’ll act immediately!”

Chen Feng shook his head, speaking very resolutely.
