"Heh…"
Seeing his strike land, a smile crept onto Chu Feng's lips.
This was the first time he had shown such a smile since his clash with Jiang Yuantai began.
And in Jiang Yuantai's eyes, that smile was nothing short of mockery.
"Hmph!!!"
Jiang Yuantai was clearly unconvinced. He let out a cold snort, and the spear formation once again took shape, once again engulfing Chu Feng within it.
But this time, Jiang Yuantai's spear formation couldn't do a thing to Chu Feng.
Because this time, Chu Feng was no longer defending — he was attacking as his defense. And one could say that every thrust of his sword caught his opponent completely off guard.
Before long, the roles had reversed: Jiang Yuantai, who had been the aggressor, was now on the defensive.
"Could it be that Chu Feng has…"
Seeing this, Dao Sea Fairy and Grandma Yuanshen both widened their eyes, staring at the scene in utter disbelief.
"That brat — he's actually breaking the formation."
But among Jiang Taibai and the others of the Dan Dao Immortal Sect, a hint of unease began to surface in their eyes.
Chu Feng's method of attack had changed. He was no longer passively defending — he was launching targeted strikes with clear purpose.
If it had been a occasional lucky guess, that would have been one thing. But every single move and stance of his was perfectly countered to neutralize Jiang Yuantai's spear technique.
He had truly comprehended the method to break Jiang Yuantai's spear formation.
But the Three Souls Overlord Spear was a technique Jiang Yuantai had spent a full sixty years cultivating.
How could Chu Feng possibly have figured out a way to break it in such a short time?
Only two possibilities existed. The first was that Chu Feng and Jiang Yuantai were the same kind of person.
Chu Feng had loved the sword since childhood and had cultivated an exceptionally powerful sword technique.
He had been hiding it all along, and only now — driven into a corner — had he finally revealed it.
Though every strike came unexpectedly, when linked together, they formed a perfectly coherent whole. This was no ordinary sword technique — it was something far more profound.
But if he had truly mastered such a sword technique, why hadn't he unveiled it the very first time he revealed his strength? A surprise attack combined with such a formidable sword art would have made it far easier to defeat Jiang Yuantai.
That left the second possibility.
And the second possibility was that his talent was so extraordinary that he could comprehend, in a matter of moments, a counter to a spear technique someone else had spent sixty years perfecting.
This was not a sword technique Chu Feng had spent years cultivating.
It was a sword technique he had comprehended on his own, in the very heat of desperation!!!
And based on how the battle had unfolded so far, in the eyes of Jiang Taibai and the others, no matter how they looked at it, Chu Feng appeared to be the second type.
"Could it be that this junior from the Eastern Domain truly possesses talent of such terrifying magnitude?"
Jiang Taibai looked toward Chu Feng once more. There was no longer a shred of contempt in his eyes — only vigilance, and even a flicker of fear.
That look was like a grown wolf catching sight of a young tiger cub.
Though the cub might seem like an easy meal in his eyes, something he could kill without effort.
He knew full well that if this tiger cub was allowed to grow, he would not even have the strength to put up a fight before it.
"This is truly incredible. Young Friend Chu Feng actually comprehended a sword technique that breaks that spear art."
Dao Sea Fairy and Grandma Yuanshen, the two sisters, were overcome with excitement.
If it had been an ordinary spear technique, that would have been one thing.
But to break a spear technique this powerful — it was simply unheard of.
One would need not only incredibly rich combat experience but also exceptional comprehension and thinking that far surpassed ordinary people.
At the very least, no normal person — not even a normal genius — could possibly have comprehended such a masterful sword technique in so short a time.
The reason they called it a sword technique was that they could clearly see Chu Feng's fighting style had completely changed.
It was an entirely new sword technique, one that Chu Feng had comprehended on his own after being pushed to the brink.
The sword technique was remarkably refined — using offense as defense.
