Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Law of Time.
Li Feng, who had just seen the information from the system, was utterly dumbfounded.
’Damn! There’s actually a grandpa in there!’
It wasn’t that he thought such a thing was impossible in the cultivation world, but he never expected to encounter one himself.
’No wonder this woman is so strong and strange… so she’s a chosen one or something.’
He cursed under his breath, knowing just how terrifying a “grandpa” could be, especially since the system had even issued a warning.
This immortal geezer was at least as dangerous as that apostle.
’…Should I escape?’
Li Feng narrowed his eyes as the thought crossed his mind.
It wasn’t that he was afraid, but his goal had never been to kill others.
His priority was ensuring Yue Lan and his women stayed safe.
But if things took a turn for the worse, he would simply act shamelessly and stuff everyone into the Divine Brick.
’Wei Zhenxin’ seemed to see through Li Feng’s thoughts.
She murmured calmly, “There is no need to be so cautious… I mean you no harm.”
Her beautiful, mature face remained as calm as still clouds, clearly trying to reassure him.
But Li Feng simply sneered at her words.
After all, the system had explicitly labeled her as a ’hostile’ entity.
“Really? Then why do I sense hostility from you?”
At his words, a flicker of surprise flashed across ’Wei Zhenxin’s’ eyes.
Then she slowly shook her head.
“It seems I’ve grown too old if even a junior can read my intentions,” she said with a slight smile as she looked at Li Feng. “You’re correct. I am currently debating whether or not to engage you in battle.”
Li Feng fell silent for a moment.
Then, his muscles bulged as a terrifying pressure radiated from his body.
Like an invisible chain snapping, he shattered the force that had immobilized him with sheer raw strength and slowly stood up.
’Wei Zhenxin’ did not stop him.
She simply watched with open appreciation in her eyes.
“Truly extraordinary… Such strength. It seems it’s not just from body tempering.”
Her eyes continued to scan Li Feng’s body and the more she observed, the more surprised she became.
’Such a perfect physique, refined to the absolute limit. It must be from a special physic.’
Li Feng casually cracked his stiff neck and shoulders, then grinned at the old grandpa currently residing in a woman’s body.
“So, have you decided?”
His battle intent surged, refusing to back down.
Even though his opponent was an ancient immortal, Li Feng wasn’t afraid as he still had a few trump cards left.
… However, if someone asked whether he truly wanted to fight,…he would choose not to.
He knew that even if the immortal’s strength was limited and far from its prime, but the terrifying millennium of experience an immortal cultivator possessed was no joke.
Facing such an unknown variable, Li Feng wasn’t confident he could walk away easily if they clashed.
…But he didn’t know that at the same time, Immortal Jiuming was thinking the exact same thing.
Facing a monstrous genius blessed by the Great World was definitely an unwise choice.
Not to mention, the Great World likely intended for this monster to eradicate something for it and he had a strong feeling it was related to the “World Cancers.”
That made Li Feng less of an enemy and more of a potential ally.
’I thought it was my disciple who had been blessed and chosen… but it seems I underestimated this world.’
Immortal Jiuming couldn’t help but wonder where this world was located.
He had never heard of such a powerful Great World during his lifetime.
The two of them suddenly fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts.
Yet the air remained thick with tension and calculation.
But then, suddenly, the pressure eased.
“We will not fight.”
’Wei Zhenxin’ spoke calmly, her tone steady, as if the decision had been made long before this moment.
Li Feng didn’t relax at her words.
“Oh?” He tilted his head slightly, his lips curling into a faint, mocking smile. “That’s a quick change of heart for someone who was just deciding whether to kill me or not.”
The woman before him smiled faintly, but this time there was something deeper behind it.
“Because I am not a fool,” she said, her gaze sharpening. “To clash with someone like you here and now… would bring no benefit to either of us.”
Li Feng said nothing.
But inwardly, he agreed.
It seemed this old immortal saw things clearly and acted reasonably… unlike that stubborn disciple of his.
“Not to mention, you didn’t really intend to kill Wei Zhenxin. It would be rude of me to interfere while a junior is dealing with her own matters.”
Hearing her words, Li Feng gave her a strange look.
’Of course I don’t intend to kill her… Such a stubborn beauty should be kept alive so I can educate her…’’
He didn’t say it out loud.
Instead, he narrowed his eyes.
“…So you’re going to give up on killing my senior sister?”
’Wei Zhenxin’ nodded.
“Yes. My disciple has lost and failed fairly. This should teach her a thing or two, so I am grateful for that.”
Then, she let out a soft sigh.
“We will leave this place and this continent itself. We will not interfere with you anymore.”
Li Feng finally allowed some of the tension to drain from his body when he heard those words.
With this old immortal gone… things would become much simpler.
At least, that’s what Li Feng thought.
But just as he was about to fully relax—
“However…”
’Wei Zhenxin’ looked at him, her calm gaze now carrying a trace of something deeper… a mix of calculation and curiosity.
“I will not interfere with your matters here, nor will I pursue any hostility toward you.”
She paused briefly.
“However… I am quite curious about you.”
Li Feng let out a quiet scoff.
“Get to the point, Senior.”
The woman’s lips curved slightly, clearly not offended by his bluntness.
“Simple,” she said, locking eyes with him.
“I will attack you with one move. Try to handle it.”
At those words, Li Feng didn’t even hesitate.
“No.”
He gave her a look as if he were staring at an idiot. “Why would I even agree to that?”
’Wei Zhenxin’ looked as if she had already expected his refusal so she calmly laid out her offer.
“If you accept, I can give you a piece of information. To be exact… the vision my disciple saw that caused her to want to kill your senior sister.”
Li Feng frowned.
Only now did he finally understand why that woman had been so unyielding.
…So it was a divination from her master, an immortal.
Knowing that, he could no longer treat it as mere fortune-telling.
Something that came from an immortal couldn’t possibly be fake.
At the very least, it had to contain some truth and this only made him even more curious about how Yue Lan had ended up in such a situation.
’Is this related to her calamity?’
His thoughts raced, but in the end, he looked at the immortal and nodded.
“Fine… I agree.”
This might finally be his chance to learn more about that damned mysterious calamity.
Staying on guard every day because of something he couldn’t even see was starting to make him feel like he’d go bald at this rate.
Immortal Jiuming smiled.
“You won’t be disappointed.”
She slowly materialized a single plain sword and raised it. “So… don’t disappoint me either.”
With those words, the world seemed to freeze.
Or rather, time itself around them slowed to a crawl.
Li Feng’s eyes widened as he felt that strange sensation again but on an entirely different scale this time.
It felt as if his limbs no longer belonged to him, as though the connection between his mind and body had been stretched across an endless distance.
“This is the Law of Time,” she said softly, “…now merely a fragment of what I once wielded… so observe carefully.”
Immortal Jiuming raised her plain sword.
“This strike,” she said calmly, “you cannot evade.”
There was no killing intent.
No fluctuations of energy.
Then, slowly, she slashed downward in a quiet, inevitable descent.
“Timeless Slash.”
With her words, a thin line of pure whiteness appeared, as if it had split something at its very origin.
Li Feng’s eyes widened as he could… feel something approaching.
But then, instead of panic or worry… he grinned.
Immortal Jiuming noticed his reaction and wondered what this kid had up his sleeve.
But then—
WHOOSH!
“Hmm?”
A seemingly ordinary brick appeared in front of Li Feng.
The moment it touched that line of whiteness… the line simply dispersed like thin air, without any flashy explosion or resistance.
“Hehe, I won.”
Li Feng laughed slyly.
He had dared to accept a strike from an immortal only because he knew he could handle it.
However, Immortal Jiuming didn’t seem to hear his words, as ’Wei Zhenxin’ eyes widened upon realizing what that ordinary brick was.
“…A divine weapon?”
Right now, Immortal Jiuming was even more shocked than when he had discovered Li Feng’s terrifying talent.
Because he knew that a divine weapon…
…was never meant to be wielded by anyone.
