Seeing this, the other Elders looked at each other in dismay; they were panicking.
Bibi Dong almost lost her footing, her leg wobbling in her high heels.
Ghost Leopard Douluo, leaning against the corner, massaged His shoulder; he had been silent, observing from the shadows.
Now it was His turn to act, but he truly couldn't discern Chu Feng's fighting style.
Then, His body transformed into a blur, diving straight down into the ground.
However, he didn't submerge completely; a portion remained on the surface, invisible to the naked eye as it blended perfectly with the surroundings.
"Another one coming to throw their life away?"
With His exceptional perception, Chu Feng spotted the flaw at a single glance.
He hovered about half a meter off the ground, and after finding the right moment...
...His leg, carrying a surge of silver-white lightning, slammed down heavily in a near-instantaneous burst.
At this moment, Devil Bear Douluo's mouth was wide open, but he didn't have time to shout "Wait!"
Boom!
Ghost Leopard Douluo was blasted out and sent high into the air before crashing down like a massive boulder.
The aftershocks of Chu Feng's spirit power rippled through him, and the square shattered into a giant crater.
Bibi Dong's brow furrowed deeply; her composure was completely shaken, despite her constant internal self-reassurance.
"Qian Renxue, I'm asking you, what exactly is your relationship with him?"
In her confusion, she actually turned to interrogate Qian Renxue, but how could she expect an answer from someone she never liked?
"Supreme Pontiff, there's no need to ask me. You should instead consider whether the nine Elders can even budge Senior."
With a surge of confidence, Qian Renxue unleashed a full-on ruthless mockery.
Devil Bear Douluo took a step forward, holding His breath, but he certainly didn't dare to charge blindly.
Three Titled Douluo were already lying there; he didn't want to share their fate.
He looked back at Flame Eagle, Sea Turtle, and Heavenly Wind, coughed, and said, "After you, everyone!"
What a "please." They had no choice but to go; if they didn't, Spirit Hall would lose face.
For dignified Titled Douluo to be unable to defeat an unarmed ordinary person—the joke was becoming far too loud.
Flame Eagle looked at the distressed Bibi Dong and immediately realized she had to brace herself and go in.
Spirit Hall's reputation could be trampled, but it absolutely could not be crushed.
Seeing the four Elders step forward together, Chrysanthemum Douluo teased, "I told you that you couldn't beat him, but you just wouldn't believe me."
"Then you come too. Try His strength for yourself."
Devil Bear Douluo needed a more certain chance of winning, even if arrogance was etched into His bones.
"I'm not going. Do you think I'm joking? He is truly powerful."
As he spoke, a sudden chill ran through Chrysanthemum Douluo's heart as he recalled the gruesome scenes in Heaven Dou City.
But Ghost Douluo stepped forward of His own accord and said dully, "To be honest, I am indeed curious about him. I'll take this chance to practice. Dead Chrysanthemum, I believe Senior Chu Feng won't deal a killing blow."
Ghost Douluo seemed to have a psychological admiration for the strong, though he wasn't willing to be thick-skinned about it.
But with so many people together, he felt a sense of relief instead.
Chrysanthemum Douluo had nothing left to say; he couldn't be the odd one out and was forced to join them.
Thus, the six Elders surrounded Chu Feng in the center of the square, locking him down from all directions.
Their multicolored spirit power clashed and layered upon each other, putting the entire Spirit Hall in a state of expansion that felt like it could explode at any moment.
But clearly, more than that, they cared about how to deal with Chu Feng.
Devil Bear Douluo stroked His chin; naturally cruel and fierce, he took the lead.
He slammed His right fist heavily into the ground, erupting in super-flames that swept up gravel like a grand tornado.
Heavenly Wind Douluo actively cooperated, transforming spirit power into several invisible daggers and inserting them into the wind to increase its lethality.
Chu Feng casually tossed the god beating whip to resist the impact; the wind only managed to ruffle a few strands of His hair, proving completely useless.
Flame Eagle Douluo then descended from the sky. Thinking her strength had doubled after consuming the Fire Cloud Pill, she showered down a cluster of meteor-like flames at close range.
Chu Feng unexpectedly flashed behind her and hammered down with an elbow right on her spine; she let out a cry of pain and struggled to land.
Then Sea Turtle Douluo attacked from another direction; he specialized in defense but was also adept at catching enemies off guard.
He used His high-defense turtle shell to cover His advance, occasionally launching violent, massive pillars of water.
Chu Feng stood calmly as golden light rippled around him—it was the Angelic Shield. Don't forget, he possessed all of Qian Renxue's skills.
Once the angelic light bloomed, those miscellaneous skills were instantly dissolved.
Next was Ghost Douluo's turn; using His extreme speed, he erected numerous Deathly Graves around the Angelic Shield, spreading a dark aura.
Chrysanthemum Douluo used about a dozen of His Small Golden Chrysanthemums to surround the space above Chu Feng, continuously striking downward.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, watching from the side, cast shocked glances, though their mindsets were completely different. Meanwhile, Hu Liena had long since been dazed, obsessed with the battle.
"Now!"
Thinking he had found an opening, Devil Bear Douluo summoned lava-like meteors to fall from the sky.
With fire, wind, and darkness attributes mixed together, the attack power increased significantly, nearly crushing the Angelic Shield by force.
The other Douluos rushed to join in; even the injured Porcupinefish, Snake Lance, and Ghost Leopard joined the fray.
But!
If Chu Feng were to leave an opening, it would only mean he was a failure.
Thus, he had only been warming up; he didn't take the battle against these nine Elders seriously at all.
"Sorry for the wait, everyone. nine dragons divine fire cover!"
This was a reward Chu Feng had obtained after Qian Renxue achieved godhood, and he had been looking for a place to use it.
Perfect, nine against nine; what an interesting coincidence.
This Spiritual Treasure was a top-tier item among immortals; legend has it that only Taiyi Zhenren and Nezha had ever used it.
The cover looked like an inverted bronze bell, fiery red and scorching hot all over, carved with nine crimson fire dragons.
Immortal Qi continuously seeped out from within, as if venting fire—and this was no ordinary fire; it was the Samadhi True Fire.
As Chu Feng brought out such a Dharma treasure, the temperature in the entire Spirit Hall instantly rose by dozens of degrees, as if the blazing sun were pressed against one's skin.
The nine Elders were all shocked; as soon as they stared at the cover, their spirit power, reflected by the firelight, actually began to recede.
Their legs felt so weak they could barely walk, yet they wanted to struggle a bit more, consuming massive amounts of spirit power to condense an attack. Were they seeking a dignified end?
But!
They clearly didn't know what was good for them. When they attacked again, the Divine Fire Cover spun rapidly in the air, with the nine dragons dancing upon it.
The dragons were covered in golden scales, exquisitely detailed, with occasional pillars of fire erupting from their mouths.
"Elders, I'm sorry, but your strength is simply too weak."
Having said that, Chu Feng waved His hand, and nine streaks of fire flew down from the Divine Fire Cover, whipping up a towering inferno.
Wherever they went, not a blade of grass remained, nor a scrap of iron; crackling and popping, they burned with abandon.
The nine Elders tried to resist with their spirit power, but it was ultimately like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; soon, they were all set ablaze.
No matter their attribute or rank, under the power of the Samadhi True Fire, they were like mere lint or debris, destroyed at the slightest touch.
Immediately, some among the nine Elders began to beg for mercy: "Please forgive us, Senior! We were blind!"
