Hummmm—
Suddenly, a vast serpentine-patterned barrier power surged from Meng Xiaoyan's body like a golden tide, enveloping the scattered teacups and the splashing tea.
Then he pressed his palms together, and that barrier power merged with the shattered teacup. With a flash of light, not only were the teacup and teapot restored to their original state, but even the tea flowed back into the pot.
"Chu Feng, as a Serpentine-patterned Royal Gown Spirit World Master, I'm sure you can see that my teapot has been tampered with."
"It's not arrogance—if you touch that formation, even if you don't die, you'll be crippled. Don't think that just because you're a Serpentine-patterned Royal Gown Spirit World Master, you can break it."
"Actually, you could choose not to serve the tea. But since you spoke disrespectfully to Her Highness the Fourth Princess, that's tantamount to insulting Their Highnesses the three Princes. In my opinion, if you want to keep your life, you'd better kneel and apologize." Meng Xiaoyan smiled as he said all this—speaking openly, provoking and humiliating Chu Feng in plain sight.
"If anyone is going to apologize, let me, Nangong Ya, do it on Chu Feng's behalf." As Nangong Ya spoke, he moved to kowtow in apology for Chu Feng.
Smack—
But before Nangong Ya could kowtow, Chu Feng grabbed him and said with a serious expression, "Brother Nangong, if you keep this up, we can no longer be friends."
"I…" Hearing this, Nangong Ya froze, unsure of what to do.
"A man must take responsibility. This little matter is nothing I, Chu Feng, can't handle. I'll deal with it myself." After saying this, Chu Feng stepped forward and declared, "The tea I, Chu Feng, serve is not something just anyone can drink."
"Oh my, what a big mouth. I'm just afraid you won't even get the chance to serve it," Meng Xiaoyan sneered.
Chu Feng merely smiled faintly, then walked forward and regarded the teapot containing the killing formation. "The true disciple of White-browed Immortal must have received his master's true teachings. I'd very much like to see just how impressive White-browed Immortal's methods really are."
As he spoke, Chu Feng reached out and gripped the teapot.
Hummmm—
However, the moment Chu Feng touched the teapot, a violent force erupted and surged through his palm into his body, attempting to destroy his physical form from the inside out.
But Chu Feng was not about to be destroyed by such a force. He had come prepared—invisibly, he had already woven a defensive formation within his body.
In an instant, Chu Feng's barrier power surged forth and entangled with Meng Xiaoyan's barrier power. The two streams of serpentine-patterned barrier power clashed head-on within Chu Feng's body like two armies on a battlefield.
The formation used by Meng Xiaoyan made his barrier power extremely violent, and even Chu Feng had to admit that it was indeed an impressive formation.
However, the pity was that Meng Xiaoyan's mastery was still insufficient. Though the formation was formidable, Meng Xiaoyan had yet to fully control it. As for the formation Chu Feng employed, it was no weaker than Meng Xiaoyan's—and he wielded it with absolute mastery, as effortlessly as fire transforming iron.
This led to Chu Feng's barrier power quickly gaining the upper hand. Not only did it sweep through Meng Xiaoyan's barrier power with unstoppable force, it then pushed it back out of Chu Feng's body and into the teapot, shattering the formation within.
Seeing his own formation broken by Chu Feng, Meng Xiaoyan's brows furrowed. He clearly hadn't expected Chu Feng's strength to be this formidable—far exceeding his expectations.
After all, this was a barrier formation laid by him, Meng Xiaoyan.
What he didn't know was that forget about himself—even among other Serpentine-patterned Royal Gown Spirit World Masters, none could hope to be Chu Feng's match.
