"Chu Feng, you truly are ungrateful and arrogant."
"Could it be that you believe your formation mastery surpasses my grandfather's?"
Asura Zhao Kun said, clearly displeased.
"Elder Zhao's formation mastery is naturally beyond mine," Chu Feng replied. "But I have my own perspective. Just because his cultivation is higher than mine, must I automatically believe everything he says is correct, even deny my own viewpoint?"
"Enough, there's no need to argue with him." At that moment, Liangqiu Hongyue spoke up. She addressed Chu Feng, "Chu Feng, if you insist on seeking death, we won't stop you."
"However, this contest must continue. Even though we've chosen different gates, we must still determine a victor."
"Simple. Whoever breaks through first wins," Chu Feng said.
"No." Liangqiu Hongyue shook her head.
"Then how?" Chu Feng asked.
"Since these are the Gates of Life and Death, naturally only the one who chooses the Gate of Life can be the victor. Therefore, the time taken to break it doesn't matter. After all, the difficulty of breaking the Gate of Life is likely far greater than that of the Gate of Death," Liangqiu Hongyue stated.
"Fine, tell me the terms."
Chu Feng looked completely nonchalant, as if he could accept any conditions the other party proposed, because he was firmly convinced he would win.
"The first condition is that we both must open these gates. Then, we must enter. The one who comes out alive wins," Liangqiu Hongyue declared.
"This girl is vicious. She firmly believes the right gate is the Gate of Death, yet she still wants you to enter it? Isn't she just trying to get you killed?" at that moment, Her Majesty fumed indignantly.
Even though Her Majesty wasn't inside Chu Feng's body at the time, her tone of voice clearly conveyed her fury.
However, Chu Feng was entirely unconcerned, smiling as he said, "Fine, I agree to your terms."
In truth, Chu Feng had originally considered trying to persuade the Liangqiu sisters not to enter the left gate, as he was certain it was the Gate of Death.
But since Liangqiu Hongyue was so vicious as to want him dead, he saw no need to try and dissuade her.
As for Liangqiu Lanyue, although she hadn't clashed head-on with Chu Feng like her sister, she also hadn't spoken up to stop her sibling. This showed she was of the same ilk as her sister.
Therefore, if the two of them died, Chu Feng would feel not a shred of sympathy—only pity for their stupidity.
"Then let's begin."
Subsequently, Chu Feng and the Liangqiu sisters each began working to break their respective formations.
Truthfully, the gate Chu Feng had chosen was extremely difficult to break.
If not for the fact that his Heavenly Eyes had undergone a breakthrough, Chu Feng might have found it impossible to decipher.
But times had changed. Perhaps this was fate, an opportunity. Chu Feng's Heavenly Eyes had broken through at precisely this moment, as if he were destined to break this Gate of Life.
Although this time Chu Feng took a considerable amount of effort, he ultimately found the method to break the formation.
Once he had the solution, Chu Feng immediately began setting up his own formation.
"See, I knew it was the Gate of Death. Otherwise, he couldn't have broken it so quickly."
"Exactly. Look at the two ladies—they clearly have no clue yet. It shows just how difficult the formations they're facing really are."
As the disciples of the Nine Profound Sect watched Chu Feng start his formation work, they mocked him.
"You two are also Spirit World Masters of the Dragon Vein Immortal Robe rank. Don't you know perfectly well how difficult the gate Chu Feng chose is?"
"If it were really as simple as you say, then why haven't you found a way to break it yourselves?"
At that moment, Xia Yun'er spoke up.
Hearing Xia Yun'er's words, the two men flushed with embarrassment.
They had spoken only to ridicule Chu Feng. If they actually had to break the formation themselves, they would find it genuinely impossible, because even just by looking, they could tell the riddle on the compass was incredibly difficult.
"Young Friend Chu Feng's formation... it's rather complex."
