The remaining two supre ancestors, though silent, made their attitudes clear with their eyes.
As supre ancestors in the Eternal Realm, none of them would willingly be led by a junior in the Fate Realm, let alone let him be the captain over them.
"Mr. Chu, these five supre ancestors are known as the Five Divine Blade Ancestors: Wang Dao, Duan Dao, Ci Dao, Jue Dao, and Piao Dao. Although they do not co from a major sect, they have all grown up practicing blade techniques together and are rebellious by nature. To get them to work for you, you will need to demonstrate your power."
Ouyang Li did not speak but instead quietly transmitted a ssage to Chu Fengmian.
The aning of the words was crystal clear to Chu Fengmian: to subdue these five supre ancestors for his use, he must show his strength, otherwise, it would be difficult for them to submit.
"Five Divine Blade Ancestors? What are they? I’ve never heard of them."
Chu Fengmian took a step forward, swept his gaze over them, and said coldly.
"Since I, Chu, am the captain this ti, anyone who disobeys, step forward. If anyone dares to disobey in the Blood World, don’t bla for being rciless."
The Five Divine Blade Ancestors are rebellious by nature; their murderous aura reveals that they have survived countless deadly battles to reach their current level.
If Chu Fengmian were only a Quasi-Emperor, they might not dare to be so rebellious, but as Chu Fengmian is only in the Fate Realm, he cannot command respect; thus, if they are not convinced, he will have to beat them into submission.
"Junior, what big words! We, the Five Divine Blade Ancestors, have road the Ancient Snake Empire with a fearso reputation, and no one has dared to speak to us like that. Do you think you can be the captain? I’d like to see what ans you have to take that position!"
Wang Dao, upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, spoke angrily.
The reputation of the Five Divine Blade Ancestors is well known in the Ancient Snake Empire, even among the eight royal families.
Although they do not have a Quasi-Emperor among them, their combined power rivals that of so Quasi-Emperors, so even a Quasi-Emperor would avoid conflict with them. As loose cultivators, they have no ties and fear no one.
Killing an Emperor ans nothing to them.
"Brother Wang will make a move?"
"Just teach him a lesson, especially since President Ouyang is here; it wouldn’t be good to kill him."
"Such arrogance, give him a slap to make him reflect."
"Of course, if he shows so strength, we’ll take him along as a at shield in the Blood World."
The other supre ancestors laughed as they spoke.
"Don’t worry, we won’t kill this kid."
Wang Dao laughed, a trace of disdain in his eyes.
"Boy, to avoid accusations of bullying, if you can withstand three moves, we’ll let you be the captain."
"Three moves?"
Chu Fengmian shook his head upon hearing Wang Dao’s words.
"To defeat you, one move is enough."
"Damn, arrogant!"
Wang Dao roared in anger; as a supre ancestor, how could he tolerate Chu Fengmian’s words. Suddenly, a luminescent glow flickered in his hand, and an enormous cleaving blade materialized.
"Heaven and Earth Blade Split!"
Wang Dao struck, and in an instant, his blade unsheathed with a sharp blade light, slashing fiercely toward Chu Fengmian. This strike, pure power without any clever tricks, was nearly flawless, unless broken by force.
Clearly, if Chu Fengmian couldn’t withstand this blade head-on, defeat would be certain.
"With just this sword technique, you dare call yourself a Divine Blade? Break!"
Chu Fengmian glanced at it without concern, then with a re thought, War Dragon’s Claw materialized above him, crashing down onto the blade light.
The sharp blade light shattered upon contact with the War Dragon’s Claw, and the claw’s power swept forth, striking Wang Dao in the chest.
"Boom!"
Wang Dao was blasted away instantly, retreating tens of paces before steadying himself. A claw mark was clearly visible on his chest, and beneath it seed to be a piece of soft armor.
But the soft armor was now shattered, losing its power and rendering it unusable.
"Brother Wang?"
"What happened?"
"Brother Wang, are you alright?"
The other Divine Blade Ancestors hurried over.
"You dare injure Brother Wang?"
"Kill! Anyone who dares harm a mber of the Five Divine Blade Ancestors must die!"
"Indeed, kill him! How dare he challenge the dignity of the Five Divine Blade Ancestors!"
The ancestors Duan Dao, Ci Dao, and Jue Dao spoke simultaneously, murderous intent flashing in their eyes as they looked at Chu Fengmian.
All three attacked at once, their blade lights bombarding toward Chu Fengmian.
"What? Want to co at together? The more, the better; I’ll take on just as many."
Facing the three blade lights, Chu Fengmian showed no tension, instead displaying a faint smile.
With a thought, War Dragon’s Claw materialized again above Chu Fengmian, ready to strike anyone who dared attack him.
"Stop!"
In the instant of this clash, a sudden loud roar shattered both the blade lights and the War Dragon’s Claw.
Chu Fengmian felt his Spiritual Power surge and grow restless under the force of the shout.
"Such powerful force, just a shout holds such power?"
Chu Fengmian gazed in astonishnt. Though he had sensed Ouyang Li’s power before, it was the first ti witnessing it in action.
Just a shout was enough to shatter the War Dragon’s Claw; though Chu Fengmian hadn’t unleashed his full power, the shout alone was unmatched, even against the combined might of the Five Divine Blade Ancestors.
"It seems I must be cautious around Ouyang Li. If he ambushes with his thunderous power, I could be seriously injured or worse."
Chu Fengmian thought privately, anwhile containing his Spiritual Power, though only in appearance.
If Ouyang Li truly intended to cross Chu Fengmian, Chu Fengmian would be ready to counterattack in an instant.
A Quasi-Emperor at the peak would not typically stoop to ambush, but nothing is ever certain. Each martial artist reaching such heights is notoriously ruthless, and Ouyang Li is evidently a wolf in sheep’s clothing, not to be underestimated.
The Five Divine Blade Ancestors, seeing Ouyang Li act, withdrew their spiritual blades and let their Spiritual Power dissipate.
After all, this was a Quasi-Emperor, and a Quasi-Emperor’s dignity cannot be challenged lightly.
"This exchange was rely a friendly spar. Five Divine Blade Ancestors, by now you must understand Mr. Chu’s strength."
Ouyang Li stated slowly.
