As Chu Kuangren spoke, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
Chu Chen remained silent.
"Hahaha!"
"You unfilial child, you don't understand love at all. You don't know the pain a failed marriage brings to a woman!"
"That slut Chu Mengyao, daring to compete with me for favor, is simply detestable!"
"Since that's the case, she brought it upon herself. She can't blame my ruthless heart."
"I'll kill her! The bastard child she's carrying should miscarry by now!"
Chu Kuangren sneered.
Then, he suddenly waved his sleeve.
A chain materialized out of thin air, like a venomous python, lunging towards Chu Chen.
"Little bastard, die!"
"I won't hold back this time!"
The chain whistled through the air. Just as it was about to touch Chu Chen, a dazzling sword light suddenly erupted.
In an instant, it annihilated the chain and, with undiminished momentum, slashed back towards Chu Kuangren.
"What?"
Chu Kuangren's face turned ashen with shock.
His protective aura had been shattered!
Chu Feng, could he actually unleash the power of a fifth-tier Inscription Master?
In just over two years, what had Chu Feng done to increase his combat power so drastically?
Had Chu Feng already entered the realm of an Inscription Master?
Chu Chen was even more astonished.
His eyes were blood red!
In his entire life, he had never witnessed a monstrous talent as perverse as Chu Feng.
Two years ago, although Chu Feng was also a prodigy with extraordinary strength, the gap between him and the current Chu Feng was immense!
"How could this be?"
"You clearly haven't awakened innate true qi, only possessing brute strength, and your physical resilience far surpasses ordinary people!"
"How could you possibly go from tempering your body in just two years..."
"...to advancing to a fifth-tier Body Refiner! This completely defies the rules of the martial world!"
Chu Chen was a mixture of fear and dread, his heart filled with panic and unease.
*Bang!*
The chain shattered!
The silver robe on Chu Kuangren's body was also torn with a shocking gash!
"Damn it!"
Chu Chen gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
Just a moment ago, he had seen Chu Feng unleash a secret technique of the Chu family!
The Chu family's secret technique – Wind Slaying Sword Art!
The forbidden sword art of the Chu family, Wind Slaying Sword Art, which he, Chu Chen, had desperately sought for decades without grasping even a sliver of its essence!
"No matter who you are!"
"You dared to ruin my plans, you must die!"
Chu Chen's mind went mad, completely deranged. He burned his own lifespan without hesitation.
He forged a blood-colored saber and directly hacked towards Chu Feng.
"Get lost!"
Chu Feng's expression was blank.
At the same time, he circulated the martial arts secret scripture – the Grand Void Refinement Scripture, mobilizing all the remaining true qi in his acupoints!
*Swish!*
The blood blade streaked through the air, tearing through the void.
*Gurgle!*
Blood splattered!
Chu Kuangren's chest took a direct hit from the saber, and he staggered backward.
"Cough!"
Chu Kuangren let out a muffled cough.
He looked down at his chest and saw a shocking sword mark!
Blood flowed profusely!
"Chu Chen, you're seeking death!"
Chu Kuangren roared in fury.
His entire being erupted with power, like an incredibly ferocious beast!
"Father, run quickly!"
"I can't help you!"
Chu Chen's face was filled with panic as he quickly pulled his father, Chu Tianyang, to flee the secret chamber.
Chu Kuangren pursued relentlessly! However—
Chu Chen suddenly stopped, turning back to look at his father, Chu Tianyang.
"Father, remember to take care of yourself!"
*Buzz!*
Chu Chen activated the Chu family's secret scripture, the "Blood Burning Art"!
Instantly, his cultivation plummeted, his aura dropping to its lowest point!
"Chu Chen!"
Chu Tianyang cried out in grief.
Chu Kuangren, however, laughed heartily: "Fool!"
"You fool, do I need you to save me? How can the attack of a mere fifth-tier Inscription Master possibly harm me?"
"When I'm done with that little beast, I'll deal with you father and son slowly!"
"Both of you will die!!"
*Boom!*
Chu Kuangren transformed into a streak of light and shot into the sky.
From the depths of the Chu family mansion, a thunderous roar echoed, like immense waves surging and engulfing the entire residence.
"Hmm?"
Chu Feng frowned.
His soul's will enveloped a hundred-zhang radius, and he clearly sensed Chu Kuangren's aura fluctuations.
At this moment, it was rapidly weakening at an unimaginable speed.
"How could this be?"
"This aura..."
"It's actually the last wisp of pure origin energy left before a Martial Grandmaster falls."
"Father has actually fallen?"
Chu Chen stood frozen, disbelief etched on his face.
In his memory, his father, Chu Kuangren, was the only three-star peak Martial Grandmaster of the Chu family!
Unless a Martial Lord intervened, even a Martial Marquis would have no possibility of killing Chu Kuangren!
However.
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Chu Kuangren's aura fluctuations rapidly weakened, and even his presence dissipated!
A high-ranking Martial Lord had fallen!
"How is this possible!"
"In my memory, Father had only just broken through to the ninth-tier Martial Master realm."
"Not even half a year has passed, how could he have died at the hands of a Martial Lord?"
Chu Chen's mind went blank.
He couldn't comprehend at all how Chu Feng's father, Chu Tianyang, could suddenly become a Martial Lord!
Had Chu Tianyang been hiding his strength?
Or had Chu Tianyang obtained some special opportunity and advanced his martial arts realm?
"Hahaha!"
"Do you think I, Chu Feng, am a good-for-nothing like you?"
"So what if you're a Martial Lord?"
"You'll never imagine that I had already reached the seventh-tier Martial Lord realm."
"Even the eighth-tier Martial Lord, or even the ninth-tier Martial Lord realm!"
"As long as I wish, I can break through the shackles at any time and become a Martial Ancestor!
At that time, even that Lord Chu Feng would have to grovel at my feet!"
Chu Kuangren laughed wildly.
As he laughed, he spat out blood.
Clearly.
Chu Feng's punch had dealt him a heavy blow.
It caused Chu Kuangren to go berserk, vomit blood on the spot, and suffer severe qi and blood depletion!
"Chu Tianyang, stop playing dumb."
"You don't even have the surname Chu, you're surnamed Chen!"
"You imposter who disguised himself as Chu Tianyang has finally been exposed!"
"Haha, you bastard, are you finally going to admit it?"
At this point, Chu Kuangren paused and said in a sinister tone.
"I know you're unwilling, so you plotted in secret, wanting to seize the position of Patriarch and alter the Chu family's genealogy."
"Your ambition is great, even including devouring my and your mother's martial vein talent!"
"Unfortunately, you ultimately failed in your scheme." Chu Kuangren sneered repeatedly.
"Father, let's go, don't bother with this mad dog!"
"He won't live much longer. Even if he's not killed by this lunatic, he'll die in his rage!"
Chu Chen was extremely anxious.
However.
Just as he was about to help his father leave, he found his father had collapsed on the ground.
His whole body trembled, his lips were dark, his pupils were dilated, and he had fallen into a coma.
Chu Chen was startled.
"This is bad!"
"My pills can't treat Father at all."
Chu Chen's expression changed drastically.
He took out a verdant fruit from his storage ring.
He stuffed it into Chu Kuangren's mouth, trying to help Chu Kuangren recover as much as possible.
