"Can't you tell yet?" Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Tell what? What are you saying? What kind of trick are you playing?"
The Ma family head was truly frightened. Even the strongest expert couldn't block his attack without a sound or snatch something from his hand. He was even beginning to doubt whether Chu Feng was human at all.
"I thought you were clever, but it turns out you're just as dull and ignorant as your older brother." Chu Feng sneered with contempt. Then, with a mere thought, the Ice Crystal Hall was once again flooded with golden light.
This time, however, the golden glow was just bright enough. While still dazzling, it wasn't so blinding that people couldn't look directly at it.
Under these conditions, the onlookers finally saw clearly the source of the golden light. It emanated from the intricate golden patterns and runes woven together inside the Ice Crystal Hall, forming a truly spectacular formation array. The entire Ice Crystal Hall was actually a giant array!
"What a powerful formation! How can you possibly control such a thing? Who are you?!"
In that moment, the Ma family head finally understood. It wasn't that Chu Feng was powerful, but that the formation array was. All of Chu Feng's seemingly miraculous actions just now were powered by the strength of this Golden Light Formation.
This Golden Light Formation was formidable. The barrier was of the Golden Barrier power, definitely the work of a gold-robed Spirit World Master—and not an ordinary one, at that.
Furthermore, this place had always been sealed off before. The Ma family head felt this array couldn't possibly have been set up by Chu Feng, as he lacked the ability. It was most likely established five hundred years ago by that mysterious expert.
But how could an array set by that mysterious expert be controlled by Chu Feng? That was what the Ma family head couldn't comprehend.
"I call you dull, and you really are. Can't you see that it was the key which granted me the power to control this great array?"
Chu Feng smiled faintly. Then, with a thought, a vast pressure suddenly descended. With a thud, the Ma family head was forced to his knees, his face contorted in pain. He had absolutely no ability to resist the array's might.
"You shameless brat! You dare use the treasures left by my Ma family ancestors against me!" The Ma family head knew he was doomed. He made no plea for mercy, instead cursing viciously.
"Shameless? Someone like you dares call others shameless?" Chu Feng laughed loudly and said, "I'll tell you the truth. The reason I can control this array is all thanks to you. If your two families weren't so mediocre and incompetent, Senior Hong Qiang would never have revealed the method of controlling this array to me."
"What?! Lord Hong Qiang—y-you actually know his name?!"
"Impossible! That's impossible! My Li family and the Ma family once saved Hong Qiang's life! How could he betray our kindness and hand this array over to my greatest enemy?" Upon learning the truth, the Ma family head's eyes darted around, his face ashen with disbelief.
"Betray your kindness? Your two families' ancestors did indeed save Senior Hong Qiang once, true. But everything your families have today was bestowed by Senior Hong Qiang. He has long since repaid any debt to your ancestors, let alone to you."
"Do you think a small favor grants you the right to expect him to protect your family for generations to come? Not only is that unrealistic, but even if Senior Hong Qiang had such a wish, someone as despicable as you certainly wouldn't deserve it."
"Die! Today, I will act on behalf of your Ma family ancestors and eliminate you, this despicable descendant. That way, your ancestors won't be tarnished by your misdeeds and bear all the infamy." As Chu Feng spoke, his gaze intensified, and the pressure suppressing the Ma family head began to steadily increase.
"Ugh… Aahhhh~~~~~~~~"
