Chapter 5377: Crossing Blows with My Mother
What are you standing in a daze for? Lets move on, Chu Feng said.
Even though the black aura hadnt fully receded yet, Chu Feng was confident that he could guarantee everyone a safe passage. Thus, the three of them rose to the sky and ventured into the depth of this massive cavern.
Chu Feng, how did you know that well be able to obtain such benefits as long as we followed you in? Ling Shenger asked.
There were plenty of hints provided on the stone wall. If you followed your big sisters instructions and entered the right formation gate, you would have been able to advance when I cleared this stage, but your rewards would have been much less. Its true that this spirit formation gate is much riskier, but youll be in a relatively safe position as long as you dont carelessly move around, Chu Feng said.
Wait. You deciphered the content on the stone wall within such a short period of time? Ling Shenger was taken aback.
She had glanced at the writings on the stone wall earlier too, but she struggled to comprehend them. Knowing that it would have taken her some time to decipher them, she decided not to bother with it.
Thus, both her and her sisters interpretation of the writings on the stone wall was still derived from their mothers description.
What Chu Feng mentioned didnt match what her mother told them, but from the looks of it, his interpretation was much more accurate. This meant that he had better understood the writings than their mother within a short period of time.
This made Ling Shenger realize that she and her mother were far beneath Chu Feng in terms of talents.
Do you finally know how formidable my big brother is? Your big sister was too shallow-minded. She wanted to make use of my big brother for paltry gains instead of forging a good relationship with him. Shell regret this decision in the future, Bai Yunqing said.
Ling Shenger looked a little conflicted.
Chu Feng, dont blame my big sister for this. She isnt a bad person. She simply cares too much about me, which is why she sometimes resorts to such extreme measures for my sake. Blame me if you must! she said.tiknovel.com
She didnt want to see her older sister and Chu Feng becoming enemies.
I wont pursue what happened earlier on your account, but if your big sister harbors a grudge against me and continues to come after me... two can play the game, Chu Feng said.
Dont worry, my big sister definitely wont find trouble with you anymore. Ill guarantee that! Ling Shenger said.
That would be for the best, Chu Feng replied with a smile.
He had a good impression of Ling Shenger and would like to avoid making an enemy out of her big sister if possible, but to be frank, he didnt think that Ling Shenger could keep Ling Moer in line.
If Ling Moer had any wits, she would have let bygones be bygones, but there were plenty of prodigies in the world who possessed good talent but lacked a good brain. If Ling Moer was the type of person who was bent on dealing with him just because she had a powerful background, there was no way he would simply take it lying down.
The cavern they were in was so huge that it looked boundless, but Chu Feng and the others were God-cloak World Spiritists, after all. It didnt take them long to travel to the other end of the cavern.
A majestic spirit formation gate was awaiting them there.
Is the next stage the final floor of the Ancient Palace? Chu Feng asked.
Yes, it is. Based on what I know, it should be a challenge that poses no risk to ones life, Ling Shenger said.
Lets see what it is then.
Chu Feng and the others flew into the spirit formation gate.
Weng!
Chu Fengs surroundings warped as soon as he stepped into the spirit formation gate.
He was transported to a hall shrouded in fog, which severely limited his range of vision. Surprisingly, Bai Yunqing, Ling Shenger, and Yao Luo seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Is it an illusory formation?
Chu Feng deduced from his sharp observation skills and experience that he had entered an illusory formation. He figured that everything he was seeing before him was just a manifestation of a formation and wasnt real.
Tap tap tap.
Crisp footsteps could be heard from the fog. Chu Feng maintained the highest level of vigilance. Soon enough, a woman emerged from the fog. She stopped a distance away before bowing to him with a smile.
I am Jie Ranqing from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. Congratulations on coming this far. To proceed on to the next stage, youll have to defeat me in a fight. If you fail to do so, youll have to try again next time. I should first warn you that Im very strong. Once youre ready, take a step forward and well begin the duel, Jie Ranqing said. Are you ready?
Chu Feng jolted in shock upon hearing those words.
Chu Feng, is that your mother in her younger self? What is this illusory formation up to? Eggy was worried because she knew that his mother was one of his weaknesses.
It isnt just a simple illusory formation. My mothers powers are contained inside the formation. This formation was probably left behind by my mother, Chu Feng said.
He could tell that the illusion before him was his real mother from her resemblance to him, and those words probably came from her too. It was The illusion likely possessed the same strength his mother did in her younger years when she challenged this stage.
Do you know who I am? Chu Feng asked.
Are you ready? Jie Ranqing repeated herself instead of answering Chu Fengs question.
That further affirmed Chu Fengs guess that this wasnt just a simple illusion formation. Everything was clearly set in place beforehand, or else the other party should have been able to interact with him.
Mother, let me have a taste of your strength then, Chu Feng said as he took a step forward.
Weng!
Chu Feng felt a surge of power flowing into his body, limiting his spirit power at White Dragon God-cloak.
Ill be making a move since youre ready.
Jie Ranqing gathered a powerful surge of spirit power with a raise of her hand and blasted it at Chu Feng. It looked like a simple attack, but it was further enhanced by a formation.
Jie Ranqings spirit power appeared to have been capped at White Dragon God-cloak too, but Chu Feng dared not to get careless. He quickly constructed a formation to retaliate too.
Boom!
The two formations clashed before dissipating in unison. Chu Feng wasnt able to claim the upper hand in the clash.
