Watching as
Su Mei, in particular, was both shocked and enraged. In that instant, tears streamed down her face as she charged toward the barrier. Consumed by killing intent, she wanted to avenge Chu Feng.
Pfft~~~
But just then, Nie Wan'er suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and dropped to one knee before Chu Feng.
"Sister!!!"
Seeing this,
But the moment she did, her expression changed dramatically. Setting aside the fact that Nie Wan'er's internal energy was in complete disarray, her delicate hands were already a mangled mess — flesh torn open, skin split wide.
"What... what happened?"
Seeing this, to say nothing of Lin Yezhou and the others standing dumbstruck, even Su Mei — who had been rushing forward at full speed — froze in her tracks as if petrified.
Hummm—
And just then, a layer of golden light flickered across Chu Feng's robes and surged into his body.
At that moment, a flash of horror crossed the eyes of Lin Yezhou and the others. As Spirit World Masters, they could all sense just how extraordinary that golden light was — it was barrier energy, but not ordinary barrier energy.
"You only spat blood after being hit by my Invisible Counter-Damage Array... your physique is quite impressive." Chu Feng spoke.
With that single sentence, he revealed the truth, explaining to everyone why he had emerged completely unscathed from the Earth-Sealed Eight Dragon Hand, while Nie Wan'er was the one who ended up wounded.
It turned out that Chu Feng had not been standing still because he was letting the blows land or because he'd been paralyzed by the intimidating force of the Earth-Sealed Eight Dragon Hand. Rather, from the very beginning, he had activated a mysterious and powerful formation on his own body.
The Invisible Counter-Damage Array — true to its name — clung to Chu Feng's body, invisible to the naked eye. It could neither be seen nor felt.
But when true danger arrived, the Invisible Counter-Damage Array would, without any visible means, reflect that danger back upon the attacker.
Chu Feng had done this deliberately. He had simply been waiting for Nie Wan'er to strike him. Without needing to lift a finger, the Invisible Counter-Damage Array alone was enough to bring Nie Wan'er to her knees.
Such a formidable array was naturally something Chu Feng had obtained from the Nine Spirits Divine Chart. He had never had the opportunity to use it before, and he hadn't expected this chance to present itself now. The result, it had to be said, left Chu Feng quite satisfied.
"Despicable wretch, setting traps behind my back — I'll make you pay!!!"
Suddenly, Nie Wan'er let out an angry roar. Her long hair whipped wildly as a torrential aura erupted from within her. The aura was so powerful that even Chu Feng was forced to retreat again and again.
At the same time, wave after wave of invisible energy surged from Nie Wan'er's body, sweeping outward in every direction.
Rumble, rumble, rumble—
Under the bombardment of those energy waves, the barrier Chu Feng had erected trembled ceaselessly. The power was immense, but Chu Feng could sense that it wasn't Nie Wan'er deliberately directing this force against his barrier — the power was surging out on its own, as if desperate to make the world feel its existence.
This was a tremendously powerful force — one that did not belong to mortals.
"Heaven-Gifted Divine Physique!" Chu Feng's eyes flashed with recognition. Now he understood why this power was so extraordinary. Nie Wan'er possessed a Heaven-Gifted Divine Physique.
"Sister, let me lend you a hand." Just then, Nie Xi'er's body also released a wave of power just as formidable as Nie Wan'er's.
"These two sisters — both of them are Heaven-Gifted Divine Physiques?!" Even Chu Feng was startled by this sight.
