"Th—This!!!"
However, after witnessing what followed, Luan Jie was left utterly dumbfounded. The formation that Chu Feng had laid down was entirely different from the one the Dark Hall's Master had taught him, yet its profundity, its sheer power — it actually surpassed the formation the Dark Hall's Master had instructed him in.
"Did he really only just learn how to set this formation up?" Still reeling from shock, Luan Jie couldn't help but blurt out the question.
After all, a formation this powerful — how could anyone possibly hear the instructions for laying it down and immediately execute it? It was completely unthinkable.
It wasn't just Luan Jie who was stunned. The Weapon Refining Immortal, a fellow Dragon Vein Spirit World Master, wore an equally grave expression, his aged eyes flickering uncertainly. Because in his place, he absolutely could not have grasped such a powerful formation in so short a time.
But while Luan Jie and the others stood there in astonishment, Chu Feng's formation was already complete — and it merged into the Moon Demon's body.
Awooo—
In an instant, the already-weakened Moon Demon let out a roar even more terrifying than before. Yet even as she roared, her body began to merge into the formation itself.
In the end, when the sky returned to calm, the Moon Demon and the eight Star Keys had all vanished — because they had been absorbed into the bowl-sized formation.
Though the Moon Demon had been successfully subdued, Chu Feng did not stop there. Following Moon Immortal's instructions, he divided the sealed Moon Demon's power into two streams, merging them into the Ice Bead and the Fire Bead respectively.
Such a formation was actually quite simple for a Spirit World Master of Chu Feng's caliber.
However, Chu Feng was worried the Ice and Fire Beads might lose control, so he proceeded with the utmost caution. Fortunately, there were no abnormal fluctuations from the beads at all — presumably Moon Immortal had been carefully regulating the Ice and Fire Beads on her end.
In the end, Chu Feng successfully merged the Moon Demon's power into the Ice and Fire Beads.
Mmm—
Yet in the very next instant after the merger was complete, Su Rou and Su Mei's faces abruptly changed.
"Xiao Rou, Xiao Mei, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Chu Feng immediately asked with alarm.
"We're fine — just a little dizzy. Other than that, nothing feels wrong." Su Mei answered with a bright smile.
"Chu Feng, don't worry. Moon Immortal said she's in the process of absorbing the Moon Demon's power to make her disappear completely. After that, she'll fulfill her promise and hand over full control of the Ice and Fire Beads to us."
"However, during this period, we may need to sleep for a little while. Once we wake up, everything will be fine." Su Rou said.
"Are you really feeling no discomfort?" Chu Feng was still deeply worried. This was no small matter — he had just merged an extraordinarily dangerous Moon Demon into the bodies of the women he loved.
Even though Moon Immortal was inside them as well, the Moon Demon was still the Moon Demon — an existence of terrifying power.
"Really, we're fine. Don't worry." Su Rou narrowed her eyes and gently touched Chu Feng's face with her fair little hand, a gesture brimming with tenderness. Su Mei stood off to the side, smiling sweetly.
Feeling Su Rou's warm, soft hand and seeing Su Mei's radiant smile, the worry in Chu Feng's heart eased considerably.
Sure enough, not long after, Su Rou and Su Mei lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
"It's time for us to go back," Chu Feng said.
"Mm, let's go." The Elf Protector and the Weapon Refining Immortal were now brimming with confidence as well.
The Moon Demon had fallen into their hands, and Luan Jie had already lost the ability to fight. Once the three of them returned to the battlefield, the Dark Hall would have no hope of turning things around. This clash was destined to end in the Dark Hall's defeat.
