Chapter 6714: Criticism That Reaches the Heart

“Chu Feng, you don’t have to worry too much about them. They will also die if we lose this battle,” Eggy said.

Chu Feng could have taken control of this formation, but that would have changed the nature of this formation. The current formation was already complete, but it wasn’t in the most ideal state to draw out its full prowess.

The only way to draw out the full prowess of the formation was to use Chu Feng’s Netherworld Embryo as a medium to amplify the formation’s energy. However, there was a huge downside to doing so—it would sap the Netherworld Sectmembers’ life force.

That was why Chu Feng instructed Baili Xukong to channel the formation instead of doing it himself.

“The price is too heavy. If it’s possible, I’d like to avoid doing so,” Chu Feng replied.

He knew that the Netherworld Sectmembers were willing to lay down their lives for him, but there was no reason to expend their life force if they could already win this fight with normal means.

Weng!

Just then, Jie Tianran’s copper mirror unleashed another brilliant beam of light toward the Netherworld Sect’s formation. It looked as if Jie Tianran was merely searching for Chu Feng’s whereabouts once more.

But when the light beam landed, the Netherworld Sect’s formation rattled. Shockwaves rippled through the formation head.

Chu Feng was right. The copper mirror was charging up for an offensive move.

“It’s a good thing you saw through his trick, young master. Otherwise, we would have been in a spot.”

Baili Xukong and the others were glad that they had listened to Chu Feng’s commands and made preparations to defend against Jie Tianran’s move in advance. Otherwise, they would have channeled too much energy into offense, and that would have left the formation vulnerable to this attack.

Thanks to their preparations, Jie Tianran’s devastating attack only left some cracks on their formation. The Netherworld Sect easily repaired those cracks by channeling their energies.

“They were guarded against this?” Jie Tianran was taken aback.

Boom!

A blood-red light beam gushed from the Netherworld Sect’s formation. This attack was far stronger than the previous ones, but it wasn’t aimed at Jie Tianran but the formation around God’s Era’s pedestal.

“Damn it!”

Jie Tianran panicked. He anxiously activated a talisman paper to raise his movement speed, so that he could race after the blood-red light beam.

However, the blood-red light beam moved so fast that Jie Tianran was unable to stop it, no matter how he chased after it.

“It looks like he can’t protect that formation using God’s Era’s power. That’s good news.”

Baili Xukong and the others had been worried that God’s Era’s power would protect Jie Tianran’s formation. If so, Jie Tianran could simply hide inside God’s Era if he lost the battle, and the Netherworld Sect wouldn’t be able to do anything about him.

But Jie Tianran’s reaction told them that their worry was unfounded.

If Jie Tianran couldn’t use God’s Era’s formation to protect his formation, it was unlikely that he could use it to protect himself.

When the blood-red light beam came into contact with God’s Era’s silhouette, it passed through it without any obstruction and raced straight toward the formation around the pedestal.

But before it could strike the formation, a barrier suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stopped the blood-red light pillar. That barrier wasn’t from God’s Era; it was a barrier that Jie Tianran had prepared in advance, just that he had concealed it.

The blood-red light pillar turned into spirit power and dissipated.

“Oh no! That’s a formation clone!” Chu Feng anxiously warned Baili Xukong and the others, but it was too late.

A brilliant golden light appeared behind the Netherworld Sect’s formation.

It was Jie Tianran, but he looked very different from before. He was wrapped in golden spirit power that manifested in the form of a ten-thousand-meter-tall avatar. He looked insignificant in the face of the Netherworld Sect’s formation, but he emanated a lofty, divine air.

Needless to say, his fighting prowess was also stronger than before.

He swung his saber, slicing through the defenses of the Netherworld Sect’s formation with ease. Then, his saber emanated a brilliant light.

He had embedded a slaughter formation in the saber.

Countless light blades shot forth from his saber, reducing Netherworld Sectmembers into pools of bloody water before they could even scream in agony.

Baili Xukong and the others quickly channeled the formation’s energy to flee into the distance. At the same time, they also repaired the part of the formation where Jie Tianran had breached.

However, the formation had sustained significant damage and was nowhere near as strong as before.

“Hahahaha!” Instead of giving chase, Jie Tianran laughed frenziedly. “Was Chu Feng commanding you? It’s like that little bastard to fight in such a despicable manner. However, it looks like I have come out on top. Both the copper mirror and God’s Era’s formation are feints. My aim is merely to wait for you to reveal an opening before striking.

“Chu Feng, you’re only capable of underhanded tricks. You aren’t a match for me when it comes down to it,” Jie Tianran sneered.

He looked extremely gleeful. It was rare for him to lose himself, but he couldn’t help but get emotional when dealing with Chu Feng. His hatred for Chu Feng was simply too deep. He felt that only by venting his emotions would he be able to overcome his inner demons.

“How shameless can you get, Jie Tianran? Look at the disparity in your ages and cultivation levels. It’s my first time seeing someone acting so smug for taking advantage of a child,” Jimo Qianzhou spat.

Chu Feng was surprised. He had never expected to see such a side to Jimo Qianzhou.

Jie Tianran’s face darkened. He couldn’t refute Jimo Qianzhou’s words. There was a huge difference in his and Chu Feng’s cultivation levels and ages. He was really bullying a child here. Jimo Qianzhou’s words were true.
