Wang Feng was very clear about Qin Feng's strength. The opponent was only at the Golden Core stage. The move she had just made, although not at full power, was not something a Golden Core cultivator could resist. Why was she repelled?
Could it be that the opponent possessed some treasure?
Wang Feng sensed carefully but detected nothing unusual. It was as if the force that repelled her was something the opponent inherently possessed.
If it were a treasure, it would have caused a disturbance in the surrounding spiritual energy, which she did not feel. Wang Feng was very puzzled, but her movements did not stop. She attacked again, this time with even more force. She estimated that if the blow landed squarely on Qin Feng, he would be knocked unconscious, severely injured, and could even die instantly if not rescued in time.
Qin Feng's death was not what she wanted. If the opponent couldn't withstand this move, she would immediately rescue him. Saving his life wasn't out of kindness; she couldn't bear to see him die so easily. She wanted Jin Feng to suffer torment, and the sect leader's orders also prohibited her from killing Qin Feng. He held many secrets that needed to be thoroughly investigated.
Thus, Wang Feng's precious fan struck Qin Feng heavily again, and the scene from before repeated itself.
The force that hit Qin Feng rebounded, sending Wang Feng retreating hundreds of meters once more.
She stared at Qin Feng, her face filled with shock and disbelief. She asked in confusion, "Your cultivation is only at the Golden Core stage, and you don't have any treasures on you. Why is this happening?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng merely smiled and did not reply. He confidently said, "I already told you, if you came alone, it wouldn't be so easy to capture me."
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Wang Feng fell into deep thought. She knew that a cultivator at the Golden Core stage absolutely could not possess the strength to resist her full-power strike. The situation that had just occurred must involve something she was unaware of. This fellow named Qin Feng exuded an aura of strangeness from the moment she first saw him. He had even captured her once and poisoned her with the Love-Sickness Gu, which was a great humiliation for her. Now that she finally had a chance for revenge, she found herself utterly unable to deal with him. How could she tolerate this!
Although Wang Feng was enraged, her mind remained exceptionally clear. Her current strength was not achieved overnight after so many years of cultivation. Even in adversity, she could maintain her composure. The problem before her was to discover why he could resist her full-power strike and what means he had used. As soon as she found the answer to this question, she could capture him and get her revenge.
So, Wang Feng closed her eyes and carefully sensed everything around her.
She took in the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy as well as the flora and fauna.
After a moment, she noticed something different: the surrounding spiritual energy had become extremely disharmonious. This was not the natural state of spiritual energy but was being drawn by a formation, altering the flow of spiritual energy.
Wang Feng opened her eyes and then looked at the red alert soldiers whose positions were constantly shifting. She said, "It's a formation again! Is it this formation that gives you defensive power beyond your actual strength?"
Having said this, Wang Feng smiled confidently, a look of disdain on her lips. She continued, "Formations that increase one's defense cause great harm to the user. You've taken two of my blows, but when this formation fails, you might spit blood and die. Is it truly worth trading your future for a significant increase in defense? Do you really think you can stop me? You're trying to find a dignified way to die, aren't you? You know that being captured by me would be worse than death, so you devised this formation. If it doesn't stop me, if it doesn't make me retreat, when the formation disappears, you will immediately suffer a backlash and die, thus avoiding my torment! But... you've underestimated things. I, Wang Feng, have cultivated for many years. If I want someone dead, they absolutely cannot live, but if I want someone to live, it's very difficult for them to die!"
With that, she took out a pill from her embrace. As soon as the pill appeared, a sweet fragrance filled the air. Wang Feng said confidently, "This pill is called the Soul Returning Pill. With this medicine, even if one suffers a fatal injury, their life can be saved. Even if only the heart remains, it guarantees survival. I had prepared this to be taken only in critical moments, but now I will use it on you, not for anything else, but to vent the hatred in my heart! Now... die!"
With that, Wang Feng moved again, striking Qin Feng repeatedly. Although each attack was repelled, she still spared no effort, expending her own immense physical strength and energy to attack continuously. She knew that this formation, which increased her defense, would surely collapse under her repeated assaults. That would be Qin Feng's death, and her moment of revenge.
Even though she was wasting a life-saving pill, she no longer cared. The humiliation she had suffered during this period made her feel incredibly uncomfortable, even wishing for death. Therefore, she would not stop until Qin Feng was tormented to the brink of collapse.
With this thought, her attacks became increasingly fierce.
Under the relentless onslaught, Qin Feng remained unharmed. A faint layer of energy enveloped him, and it was this subtle energy that ensured he sustained no damage.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Feng's strength began to wane. This was the first time in many years that she had expended so much effort on a single task.
The ground around Qin Feng was already cracked in layers, and even the entire Clear Creek City faced immense danger. The energy fluctuations caused the earth to split apart, and the massive energy propagation had already caused houses in the city to show signs of collapse.
The people in Clear Creek City were fleeing outwards. They didn't know what was happening, but they could feel a massive energy erupting from the direction of the teleportation array, putting the city in a precarious state. If they didn't run quickly, it would be dangerous, so everyone fled towards the outskirts of the city.
In the midst of the battlefield, Qin Feng remained composed, while Wang Feng was panting. She glanced at Qin Feng and asked in confusion, "Impossible. There is no formation in the world that can enhance defense to such a degree. To remain unharmed after enduring my powerful attacks... could this not be a simple amplification formation, but something more profound?"
With this thought, Wang Feng found it hard to believe. In her understanding, no such formation existed.
Where had things gone wrong?
