The purple aura gradually dissipated, and
At this moment, golden lightning surged through both of his eyes, and a humanoid shield of light enveloped his body. His entire aura had increased several-fold compared to before — that purple aura could no longer affect him in the slightest.
"Such a unique aura... Could it be that you, too, are a Divine Bestowed Body?" The purple-clothed girl stared at Chu Feng, her violet pupils filled with disbelief. She found it utterly inconceivable.
"How interesting — how very interesting! I never expected that just after awakening, I would encounter two Divine Bestowed Bodies. It seems I won't be disappointed this time."
"Fight — fight now! Let's see which of you brats is more worthy of wielding my power." While the purple-clothed girl was stunned with shock, White Tiger was beside itself with joy.
"You're one vicious little girl, so don't blame me for not being a gentleman." Chu Feng drew the Hundred Change Bow once more, but this time the momentum was completely different from before.
A layer of golden lightning coiled around the golden arrow, and the power it contained was several times more formidable than the last shot.
Swoosh!
Chu Feng loosed the arrow. Even the air was torn apart, leaving a black line in its wake. The purple aura — which moments ago had been as solid as an iron wall — now crumbled like tofu. A series of booming sounds rang out as ripples spread outward in all directions. The golden arrow surged forward, unstoppable, arriving right before the purple-clothed girl.
"Hmph."
But what Chu Feng hadn't expected was that, faced with this oncoming arrow, the girl didn't dodge or evade. Instead, her delicate white hand shot out like lightning and seized the golden arrow right out of the air.
Then, with a slight squeeze, a muffled pop sounded as the arrow wreathed in golden lightning simply dissipated in her palm, without releasing even a trace of destructive force.
"Quite the trick. Let's see what you've got next."
Chu Feng stepped forward and began to furiously draw the bowstring. The golden arrows remained just as powerful, only now there were no longer just one — they had multiplied into a dense volley, thick as rain, blotting out the sky as they bore down on the girl from the front.
"And here I thought you were something special. After all that, all you did was raise your cultivation by a single level. And your strongest technique is nothing more than this trifling Fifth-rank Martial Art."
The girl's lips curled upward into a contemptuous smirk. Then her violet eyes began to flicker rapidly as an invisible aura exploded outward, centered on her and sweeping across the entire ancient tomb.
The moment that aura manifested, Chu Feng felt an enormous wave of pressure slam into him — and that pressure was intensifying at a frightening rate. Even the Hundred Change Bow in his hands grew impossibly heavy, stripping it of its former sharpness and killing intent.
"This power is terrifying — what kind of technique did she use?" Chu Feng was shaken to his core. He was stunned to discover that under the force of this power, every single one of his golden arrows had frozen in midair, bound by her energy and completely beyond his control.
But that wasn't even the end of it. As that monstrous aura continued to crash outward in wave after wave, a massive purple bell gradually materialized around the girl's body.
No — not a bell, exactly. To be more precise, it was a bell, but a purple one, covered in intricate patterns that seemed almost alive, constantly shifting and changing. It only resembled a great bell because of its enormous size, and it shielded the girl within.
"Ding!"
