"There is actually another method."
"I'm not sure if it will work."
"But it's worth a try," Chu Feng said.
"What method?" San Sheng Qiutian asked.
"I'll set up a formation that links the four of us together. We can see if it allows all four of us to enter the same illusion formation instead of fighting separately," Chu Feng said.
"Chu Feng, I still want to try on my own," San Sheng Xingyu said.
"So do I," San Sheng Qiutian echoed.
"The injuries you've sustained this time are already quite severe. This is a warning."
"If you fail again next time, there will likely only be two outcomes."
"First, your lives will be in danger."
"Second, you'll be eliminated outright."
The moment Chu Feng said this, both San Sheng Xingyu and San Sheng Qiutian froze.
Neither of those outcomes was something they could accept.
"If you fail, we fail too," Chu Feng added.
"Then what do we do?" San Sheng Qiutian began to panic.
He didn't want to fail himself, and he especially didn't want to drag Chu Feng and Zi Ling down.
"Let's try my method first. If it doesn't work, it won't prevent you from continuing the challenge," Chu Feng said.
"Alright, we'll follow your lead," San Sheng Qiutian said.
San Sheng Xingyu also nodded in silent agreement.
Under Chu Feng's treatment, the two of them had largely recovered from their injuries.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Chu Feng set up a formation.
It enveloped all four of them together.
There was one thing Chu Feng had not told them the truth about.
This formation was not a method he had come up with on his own.
It was a hint he had observed from this place.
This formation, this approach — it had been provided by this place all along.
Why hadn't Chu Feng told them directly?
Because with this formation, the difficulty would be doubled.
If all four of them bore it together, the difficulty would be twice that of the normal tower entry — twice what each person would normally face.
But Chu Feng was afraid that San Sheng Xingyu and San Sheng Qiutian wouldn't be able to handle it. So he planned to bear it alone.
One person, shouldering the burden of four.
The consequences of that were easy to imagine.
Dangerous — extremely dangerous. It was just that this danger would fall on Chu Feng alone.
Chu Feng was confident he could endure it.
But he feared that if he told the truth, the three people present wouldn't agree.
"That's it?"
San Sheng Qiutian watched as Chu Feng so quickly set up the formation he had described and felt somewhat surprised.
"That's all. We're just testing it — whether it actually works is another matter."
"Either way, we lose nothing by trying," Chu Feng said.
"True enough," San Sheng Qiutian said with a smile.
"Let's go." Once Chu Feng said this, he descended into the tower once more. This time, however, the other three didn't need to prepare separately.
Because of the formation he had set up, when Chu Feng moved, the other three would move along with him simultaneously.
The moment they stepped in, everything around them transformed instantly.
San Sheng Qiutian and the others found themselves in a battlefield.
The sky was dark red. The earth was equally dark red.
The redness of the ground came from the sea of blood that covered it.
And the redness of the sky seemed to be reflected by all that blood.
A pungent, metallic scent of blood assaulted their nostrils.
It made San Sheng Qiutian feel dizzy and nauseous, and even San Sheng Xingyu had to cover her nose and mouth.
In truth, they had all participated in various trials before, and those trial scenes would also present realistic images of slaughter.
But those were, after all, fake. They had been mentally prepared.
However, the scene that had now manifested before them was so incredibly real.
"Where is this place?!" San Sheng Qiutian suddenly shouted, his state bordering on madness.
() Seeing this, Chu Feng realized that San Sheng Qiutian had not recognized this as an illusion formation. He believed everything was real.
So Chu Feng formed hand seals, and a wave of barrier power wrapped around San Sheng Qiutian and San Sheng Xingyu.
Soon, their minds cleared.
They finally remembered that they were here with Chu Feng to break the formation, and that they had all entered together just moments ago.
None of this was real.
"Chu Feng, did we succeed?" San Sheng Qiutian asked.
"Mm," Chu Feng nodded.
"Then what do we do next?" San Sheng Qiutian asked.
"Kill every person who appears," Chu Feng said.
