When Chu Feng said this, Bai Yunqing, Ling Sheng'er, and the others couldn't help but smile. They could all tell that Jie Zhou and his group were stumped.
This was the perfect opportunity for Chu Feng to show his skills.
However, when it came to this, the members of the Ling clan scoffed. Though they didn't dare show it openly, many of them, just like the people of the Jie clan, simply didn't believe Chu Feng had such remarkable ability.
They had no idea what kind of sinister trick Chu Feng had used to bewitch their two young ladies into following his every word.
But they did look forward to Chu Feng making a move. After all, breaking formations required real skill. If Chu Feng could pull it off, it would only prove they had misjudged him.
If Chu Feng couldn't do it, then they could use that as an opportunity to advise their two young ladies not to be deceived by this man any longer.
At that moment, Chu Feng and the others approached the iceberg formation.
A massive formation was sweeping toward the iceberg formation — it was Jie Zhou, who was still putting everything he had into breaking it.
But Chu Feng didn't make his move right away. Instead, he stood in place and began to observe carefully.
At the same time, Bai Yunqing, Ling Sheng'er, and Ling Mo'er were all observing as well.
"Damn, this formation isn't easy to break. Brother Chu Feng, do you have any idea?" After a round of observation, Bai Yunqing looked toward Chu Feng.
It wasn't that he couldn't see through the formation. It was precisely because he could that he understood just how difficult it was to break.
This was a chained formation — the iceberg was merely the first layer. There were more formations behind it, and the power of those subsequent formations was undoubtedly even greater.
If the first layer was already this hard to break, one could only imagine how difficult the next layer would be. It was simply despair-inducing.
Jie Zhou was a Purple Dragon God Robe, yet he was helpless against this formation. It wasn't that Jie Zhou was weak — the formation was simply too difficult.
At the very least, after carefully observing it, Bai Yunqing felt that he couldn't break it. Not only couldn't he break it now, but even if he advanced to the Purple Dragon God Robe, he still wouldn't be able to.
But Chu Feng's abilities were simply too formidable. Because of that, he still held a glimmer of hope for Chu Feng.
"This formation is actually quite simple. Just break it in reverse," Chu Feng said.
"Reverse formation-breaking?"
"Brother Chu Feng, are you serious?" Hearing this, Bai Yunqing was so startled that the corners of his mouth trembled.
Reverse formation-breaking was indeed viable — it was a legitimate method. But its difficulty was more than three times that of forward formation-breaking.
If forward formation-breaking was already this difficult, then reverse formation-breaking was practically impossible.
Therefore, reverse formation-breaking was only suitable for extremely simple formations. For difficult ones, it simply wasn't practical.
Chu Feng understood Bai Yunqing's concern and said, "The formations behind are indeed difficult, but this surface layer isn't actually hard."
"Heh..."
But no sooner had Chu Feng finished speaking than a contemptuous laugh rang out.
It was Jie Zhou. Although he was putting everything into breaking the formation, he had been secretly watching Chu Feng and the others. After hearing their conversation, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Now, he even stopped channeling his barrier formation and turned to look at Chu Feng and the others.
"Reverse formation-breaking?"
"Brother Chu Feng, do you really understand this formation?"
"Reverse formation-breaking isn't just a matter of difficulty — it will also trigger the formation's offensive nature. It's fine if you suffer alone, but can you bear the responsibility of dragging everyone else into it?"
Jie Zhou asked Chu Feng.
"This guy actually dares to boss people around in front of Young Master Jie Zhou. Who does he think he is?"
"From what I can tell, he doesn't know anything at all. He's just a fraud who bluffs his way through."
At the same time, the people behind Jie Zhou also began to berate Chu Feng. After all, they had long found him disagreeable.
Moreover, at a time like this, Chu Feng had proposed what they considered an almost absurd suggestion.
"Reverse formation-breaking will indeed trigger the formation's offensive nature, but if handled properly, it can be completely avoided," Chu Feng said.
"Handled properly? Do you have any idea how much control is required to handle it properly during reverse formation-breaking?" Jie Zhou asked.
"I should be able to," Chu Feng said.
Hearing this, Jie Zhou's brow furrowed slightly. He hadn't expected Chu Feng to actually dare say something like that.
That was practically impossible. Not only could he, Jie Zhou, not do it, but no Spirit World Master of this era could either.
In his view, forget about them — even if Lord Jie Ranqing himself came out of seclusion, he still couldn't do it.
"You're Chu Feng, right? Shut your mouth already. What right do you have to run your mouth here? Who among us isn't better than you?"
"The only reason you made it here is because of Young Master Jie Zhou. You people have just been sitting back and reaping the benefits."
A member of the Jie clan angrily rebuked Chu Feng.
This rebuke was echoed by more members of the Jie clan. More and more people began to scoff at Chu Feng, their expressions turning hostile.
Yet facing this situation, Chu Feng's expression didn't change in the slightest.
"The formations we broke earlier — do you not know what level they were?" Chu Feng countered.
"What level? No matter what level, they're all ones you couldn't break."
"If you really have the skill, then go ahead and try. I'd like to see whether you can actually break this formation," the Jie clan members said one after another.
He didn't actually want to see Chu Feng's abilities. He just wanted to watch him make a fool of himself.
