"I absolutely cannot miss this show."
Upon seeing this, Chu Lingxi pursed her little lips, then her delicate figure moved as she followed right after.
And at that moment, Chu Feng had indeed successfully broken through to the Dragon Pattern level — a Dragon Pattern Spirit World Master clad in immortal robes.
He had succeeded, but not merely because he had broken through to the Dragon Pattern level.
It was exactly as Chu Feng had speculated before — upon his breakthrough, his previously damaged Mental Power had been completely healed.
The current Chu Feng was beside himself with joy, completely immersed in elation.
After all, for Chu Feng, this was truly a double blessing. Not only had he broken through in cultivation, but he had also healed an injury that was considered impossible to recover from.
Two birds with one stone — how could he not be overjoyed?
"This feeling—"
But suddenly, the beaming smile on Chu Feng's face turned solemn, and as he raised his head to look upward, his expression changed drastically.
"It's that girl Xia Yun'er. It must be that when I broke through to the Dragon Pattern Spirit World Master, my body involuntarily released the power of a Dragon Pattern formation, drawing her attention," Chu Feng said.
"Then why are you standing there dazing? Run!" the Queen urged.
In truth, after their previous encounter, the Queen also felt that Chu Feng was still no match for Xia Yun'er in his current state.
Moreover, Xia Yun'er had already resolved to kill him. If Chu Feng lost, death was all but certain.
Under these circumstances, rather than forcing a direct confrontation with Xia Yun'er, it would be far better to choose escape.
"Where would I run to?" Chu Feng said.
"Downward, of course — where else? Do you expect to go up?" the Queen replied.
Chu Feng hesitated for a moment, but soon his figure moved. The water surged around him as he transformed into a streak of light, plunging straight down into the depths of the Burial Pool of Spirits like a heavenly dragon diving into the sea.
However, Xia Yun'er's speed was simply too fast — far faster than Chu Feng's — so she was closing the distance between them at a frightening rate. When Chu Feng glanced back, he could even make out the vague silhouette of Xia Yun'er in the distance.
But what Chu Feng felt most acutely was her killing intent.
The murderous aura was so intense that Chu Feng involuntarily sneezed. It seemed this girl truly would not rest until he was dead.
And Chu Feng knew that Xia Yun'er was employing her divinely bestowed power and wielding a half-grade immortal weapon — otherwise, she could never be this fast.
Under such circumstances, Chu Feng dared not hold back. The divine lightning patterns, the Divine Dragon Blood Ruler, the ancient war sword, the ancient war axe — all the means at his disposal to bolster his combat power, he deployed simultaneously.
Chu Feng had truly been backed into a corner. If he hadn't unleashed everything, he would have been caught by Xia Yun'er in short order.
"Chu Feng! You're a dead man today! There's nowhere to run!!!"
Xia Yun'er's shrill voice exploded from behind him, and one could hear from her voice just how deeply she hated him.
"Girl, it was just one look — are you still not over it?" Chu Feng called out as he fled.
"Shut your mouth! I will kill you!" Xia Yun'er roared in fury.
"I get it — you're afraid I'll spread the word about what happened, aren't you? Tell you what, I promise I'll absolutely keep this a secret. That good enough? If you still feel you need to vent, then I'll apologize and admit fault, how about that?"
"I didn't mean to look, but I did see it in the end, so an apology and an admission of wrongdoing — I can accept that much," Chu Feng said.
"You—!"
Hearing these words, Xia Yun'er's face, already flushed red with rage, turned ghastly pale — not the delicate fairness she normally had, but a bloodless, deathly white.
At that moment, Xia Yun'er fell silent, but her speed only increased further, and her killing intent grew ever more terrifying.
In her wake, the waves she churned up slammed savagely against the rocky walls of the pool, the sound absolutely deafening.
"Come on then — keep chasing me deeper. Sooner or later we'll enter that forbidden zone, and if you keep following, we'll both die together," Chu Feng said, even though Xia Yun'er had stopped talking — his mouth, after all, never rested.
