"Benefactor Chu Feng, break that grand formation quickly! Stop the Soul Infant Sect, or the countless living beings of our Hundred Refinements Mortal World will perish within that formation!"
At that moment, Master Pocket rushed over, his face full of urgency as he pleaded with Chu Feng.
Hearing Master Pocket's words, Chu Feng swept his gaze across the situation below, but his eyes remained cold.
He looked back at Master Pocket and said, "Master, even kindness must be directed at the right people."
"Even if people refuse to repay kindness, can't tell right from wrong, and would even turn around and bite the hand that feeds them the moment some small benefit comes along — would you still help them?"
"Benefactor Chu Feng, no matter what they are like, we absolutely cannot stand by and do nothing. If they all die, then our Hundred Refinements Mortal World will be no more," Master Pocket continued to persuade him.
However, Chu Feng paid no attention to Master Pocket. Instead, he addressed Ying Mingchao and the others, "This grand formation can help everyone heal, but the healing speed is rather slow. So everyone, please sit upon the formation."
Upon hearing this, Ying Mingchao, Wang Qiang, and the others spread out and sat upon the healing grand formation in orderly fashion.
But one person did not, and that was Master Pocket. He remained standing beside Chu Feng, still trying to persuade him.
"Master, everyone has their own way of doing things. I, Chu Feng, will not go out of my way to kill those foolish betrayers today."
"But I, Chu Feng, will absolutely not save them either," Chu Feng said with firm conviction.
Hearing these words, Master Pocket still wished to continue persuading him.
However, Chu Feng had already cast his sharp gaze toward the Soul Infant Sect Master, saying, "But this man — I must kill."
Rumble—
The moment Chu Feng finished speaking, the Ancient Battle Sword shot forth like a war general obeying a command, thrusting straight toward the Soul Infant Sect Master.
The Soul Infant Sect Master was, no matter what, still just a single human body.
Yet that Ancient Battle Sword was several hundred meters long. Descending upon him from the open sky head-on, it was like an enormous mountain bearing down, carrying an oppressive force that no ordinary person could withstand.
But the Soul Infant Sect Master showed no fear whatsoever. He didn't even move, simply standing in place, waiting for the Ancient Battle Sword to close in.
Finally, the Ancient Battle Sword drew near. The tremendous force whipped the Soul Infant Sect Master's robes into a violent flutter, and cracks began to appear in the surrounding space.
Yet the Soul Infant Sect Master still made no move to dodge. He simply raised his palm and struck at the Ancient Battle Sword. With a single boom, he used nothing but the force of his palm to blow Chu Feng's Ancient Battle Sword back, sending it plummeting down to land before Chu Feng once more.
However, with his single move, the Soul Infant Grand Formation was also interrupted, immediately ceasing its operation.
Though the formation had stopped, the billions of living beings trapped within it still could not break free.
"Chu Feng, as expected of a genius — you've already broken through to the True Immortal realm."
"Since you've become a True Immortal, why didn't you ascend to the Upper Realm? Why come back? If I were you, I certainly would not have done so," the Soul Infant Sect Master said.
"Because I cannot abandon my friends," Chu Feng replied.
"You're certainly loyal enough. But what gives you the confidence? That sword?"
"This sword should be the inheritance you obtained from the Ancient Battle Clan, yes? It actually possesses power that can cross an entire tier in combat strength. Truly a heaven-defying secret art."
As the Soul Infant Sect Master spoke, he actually put away the Half-Fairy Weapon in his hand.
"What's this? You've lost the will to fight just from seeing my Ancient Battle Sword?" Chu Feng asked.
"No." The Soul Infant Sect Master shook his head. "To deal with you, I wouldn't even deign to use a Half-Fairy Weapon."
"Your appearance has only grown more ugly, but you seem to have grown more confident," Chu Feng said sarcastically.
"My confidence comes from the power I now possess."
"And your little Ancient Battle Sword stands absolutely no chance against me," the Soul Infant Sect Master said.
