"Listen to you? Who do you think you are?
In their eyes, Yin Zhuanghong was simply trying to latch onto Chu Feng's coattails.
That alone was bad enough, but to come out and say something like that naturally made Kong Ci and the others feel quite disgusted.
Yet Yin Zhuanghong paid no attention to Kong Ci and the others whatsoever, striding straight through the barrier gate.
Seeing this, Chu Feng hurriedly followed after her.
However, who could have imagined that the moment the two of them had both passed through the barrier gate and entered the forbidden zone, yet another figure followed close behind.
It was Nangong Yifan.
"What are you doing in here?" Yin Zhuanghong asked Nangong Yifan, her attitude exceedingly cold, even tinged with displeasure.
"Miss Yin, I, Nangong Yifan, am absolutely not a coward who fears death. Since you intend to brave the Heavenreach Weapon Tower, then I, Nangong Yifan, will accompany you," Nangong Yifan said.
"It's not that I'm worried about something happening to you — it's that you'll be in the way. Don't follow me."
Yin Zhuanghong's attitude grew even colder, her tone outright unpleasant. And after finishing that sentence, she walked over to Chu Feng's side, leaned in close to his ear, and began speaking with him.
At that moment, Nangong Yifan's expression turned extremely ugly.
Being spoken to like that by Yin Zhuanghong in front of so many people — anyone in his position would feel terrible.
What was more, while being cold toward him, she had simultaneously made such an intimate gesture toward Chu Feng. This was naturally something Nangong Yifan could hardly endure.
"Young friend Nangong Yifan, you'd better come back. That is not a place you can handle."
At that moment, the voice of the Guardian Sword Lord rang out as well.
Under these circumstances, Nangong Yifan was in an extremely awkward position, yet he seemed to have grown accustomed to such humiliation — after all, compared to the shame Chu Feng had inflicted upon him within and outside the chess formation, this was nothing at all.
So Nangong Yifan slunk back with his tail between his legs.
"That woman is truly shameless. If she won't heed advice, then she can just die in there."
Right at that moment, a man from the Myriad Heavens Gate spat viciously.
He was venting his indignation on Nangong Yifan's behalf.
BOOM —
Ugh —
However, the instant those words left his mouth, he was sent flying backward. When he hit the ground, every bone in his body was shattered, he was drenched in blood, and he had already sustained devastating injuries.
The attacker was none other than Nangong Yifan.
Nangong Yifan had unleashed a single palm strike, reducing the man to critical condition.
"I don't want to hear anyone say a single bad word about Miss Yin. If I hear it again — even if you're a fellow disciple — I will show no mercy."
This was no empty threat from Nangong Yifan. At that moment, everyone could feel the killing intent radiating from his body.
Looking at Nangong Yifan like this, even
It wasn't that he feared Nangong Yifan would strike him. Rather, he was shocked to discover that this Nangong Yifan was actually this deeply, foolishly infatuated.
This completely overturned his impression of Nangong Yifan.
Rumble rumble rumble —
Just then, peals of thunder rumbled from within the Heavenreach Weapon Tower.
Bolt after bolt of lightning burst outward from inside the tower, blanketing a vast area.
And it wasn't just lightning — there were also wind blades and flames, and every single type of power was extraordinarily formidable.
These devastating forces intertwined and converged, already engulfing both Chu Feng and Yin Zhuanghong within their embrace.
