"What? Elder Gu Feng has opened his eyes?!"
"Retreat, retreat quickly, or we'll all die!"
"Ah?! Why should we retreat?"
"You're too young to know. The last time Elder Gu Feng opened his eyes, he annihilated hundreds of thousands of insects and the entire Imperial Army on the ancient battlefield!"
"He closed his eyes to seal his energy. Once unleashed, no one can stop him!"
"It's said that Elder Gu Feng cannot control this immensely powerful force, so he engages in indiscriminate slaughter. Are you still standing there waiting to die?"
These disciples were already in a stalemate with the Newcomer Class Seven's battle. Although Newcomer Class Seven had the advantage in strength, their numbers were too few.
For every one they killed, another would replace them, endlessly.
So, while it appeared to be an even match, the disciples were actually just using their lives to stall for time, nothing more.
In the long run, defeat was inevitable.
At this moment, seeing Elder Gu Feng open his eyes, the last shred of fighting spirit they had instantly crumbled. They all shouted and retreated from the battlefield.
The disciples who were already engaged with Newcomer Class Seven were the most miserable. They couldn't retreat and couldn't fight effectively.
In a short while, they were all annihilated.
At this point, Elder Gu Feng, with his eyes open, radiated a golden light and exuded a terrifying aura of pressure.
"Everyone, retreat quickly, we are no match for him!"
Zi Yan, being from this world, had naturally heard the legends about Gu Feng.
The members of Newcomer Class Seven didn't know what was happening, but seeing that he could exchange a few moves with Teacher Zhang, he was likely not an ordinary person.
So, they all retreated to the side.
"The Demon Lord's opponent is very strong. Although this Elder Gu Feng is called an elder, his strength surpasses that of the sect leaders of other sects!"
"It's rumored he has lived for over a hundred years, and his strength is unfathomable. In his lifetime, he has only opened his eyes to fight twice."
"The first time, he killed all the insects and the Imperial Army. The second time is now!"
"It can be said that everyone who has seen him open his eyes has died. Only legends remain."
Zi Yan said with trepidation in her heart.
She was unsure if Zhang Chen's strength was enough to contend with Gu Feng.
The most important thing was to remain unharmed. If he got injured and his strength diminished, how would he be able to face the five great sect leaders later? Nor the leader of the Imperial Sky Sect, Lin Wuyang, whose strength was amplified by the Wish Stone!
"Interesting..."
"Since you have lifted your seal, it seems I can also lift mine. Otherwise, wouldn't that be disrespectful to elders like you!"
Zhang Chen looked at Gu Feng, which reminded him of Elder Xuan Tian he had faced before.
These were the words Elder Xuan Tian had said to him back then.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Zhang Chen couldn't disrupt the customs and rules of this world.
"You have a seal too? Heh, that's interesting!"
"As expected of the Demon Lord, you haven't disappointed me. I thought you would be killed by me!"
"It looks like we can have a good fight!"
Elder Gu Feng said with a smile, his tone filled with mockery.
It seemed that with his eyes open, he had become unimaginably powerful.
"Release the seal!"
Zhang Chen said calmly.
In an instant, the sealed meridians were immediately opened, and surging energy continuously flowed from the core of the meteor into his limbs and bones.
"The energy is back!"
"What a long-lost feeling!"
Zhang Chen took a deep breath and said with a happy mood.
"Uh... Master, you must control your power!"
"This world's energy is not abundant. Don't be too forceful!"
"Aren't you still looking for the Wish Stone?!"
The Underworld King Mushroom quickly reminded him.
"Yes, I remember. I'll only use physical attacks, no skills!"
Zhang Chen said calmly.
"Is that all? I can't feel your energy fluctuations at all! Hahaha, bluffing won't work on me!"
"Myriad Swords Return to Origin!"
Elder Gu Feng laughed heartily, then his body rapidly grew, and countless golden lights around him transformed into hundreds of golden sharp swords, shooting towards Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen didn't dodge at all, just stood there foolishly.
"Ha, are you so scared by this aura that you can't move?!"
"By killing the Demon Lord, perhaps I can advance my position to Sect Leader!"
Gu Feng was overjoyed in his heart.
The golden sharp swords launched a carpet-style indiscriminate attack.
When they hit trees, the trees were immediately split in two and then instantly burned to charcoal.
When they hit the ground, they immediately created craters over a meter deep.
When they hit rocks, they directly pulverized the boulders into powder... the power was not to be underestimated!
Clang, clang, clang!
A series of crisp impact sounds rang out.
Some of these golden sharp swords hit Zhang Chen's face, some hit his body, and some even hit Zhang Chen's eyes directly!
But Zhang Chen didn't even move, his eyes not even blinking.
The golden sharp swords shattered into strands of golden light and dispersed upon impact with Zhang Chen's body.
Even when a sword hit his pupil, it still shattered...
"This... how is this possible?!"
Elder Gu Feng's face was contorted, filled with terror.
*Crack!*
Zhang Chen raised his right hand and flicked it lightly, as if swatting away annoying flies attracted by the aroma of food.
*Bang!*
*Squelch!*
Elder Gu Feng's entire body was sent flying backward again, his bones shattered, and his internal organs ruptured.
Blood gushed out from his mouth and nose.
As he was about to hit the ground, his body gradually vaporized, disappeared, and was ultimately gone.
"I told you, if I make a move, no one will scream, because there won't be enough time!"
Zhang Chen lightly brushed the dust off his clothes.
As if nothing had happened, he walked towards the city gate.
With a flash, he instantly appeared before the city gate a kilometer away.
*Thump!*
He extended his finger and gave it a gentle push.
The two massive city gates, forged from refined copper and weighing tens of tons, flew inward.
"I'll just crush my way through. I hope the Wish Stone doesn't disappoint me too much!"
Zhang Chen muttered to himself.
In his eyes, the remaining people were either already dead or merely decorative.
The battles that followed were essentially between himself and the Wish Stone.
The students outside the city, witnessing the battle that concluded in a flash, were so shocked their jaws nearly hit the ground.
"Remember, never offend Teacher Zhang, he's too... too terrifying!"
"Seeing that battle just now, I actually feel like Gu Feng was quite weak... Have I gotten too arrogant?"
"Indeed, watching Zhang Chen's fight with Gu Feng, I couldn't sense Gu Feng's power at all. After all... even if Zhang Chen fought me, it would probably be the same, no different!"
"But looking at those giant bronze gates, I know... if I were behind them, I'd probably be ruined by now!"
"I hope Qin Yan and the others don't act cocky when they see Teacher Zhang, otherwise, I'll have to heal them... I'm just afraid their corpses might be too fragmented to recover..."
