"You…"
Jie Tian turned around and saw Chu Feng, who had at some point appeared behind him. At first, he couldn't believe it.
But then he quickly noticed the teleportation power swirling around Chu Feng.
"A teleportation formation?"
"So Chu Feng had a hidden card of his own."
"During their earlier battle, Jie Tian pretended to have only set up the Hell Summoning Formation to the mid-stage, but he'd actually advanced it to the late stage."
"But Chu Feng had prepared his own contingencies as well."
"Not only did he set up a formation to boost his combat power, he also secretly laid down a teleportation formation."
"But how was this teleportation formation set up?"
"He actually placed the teleportation tunnel directly behind Jie Tian."
"That's unbelievable! It's one thing for us bystanders not to notice, but Jie Tian didn't notice either?"
The onlookers finally understood how Chu Feng had managed to reach Jie Tian's back so quickly.
Yet they found it inconceivable — this should have been something impossible to achieve.
"So you ended up using the Battle Power Enhancement Token after all?"
"Chu Feng, your victory is not a righteous one."
Though Jie Tian had already lost, he wore a cold sneer on his face, clearly unconvinced.
"You mean this?"
As Chu Feng spoke, a token flew out from his chest on its own — the Battle Power Enhancement Token.
The Battle Power Enhancement Token was still there, and it looked exactly the same as before.
"Who knows if that's the real one or a fake?" Jie Tian challenged.
The others expressed their doubts as well.
The Battle Power Enhancement Token appeared identical to the earlier one, but given Chu Feng's mastery of forgery, crafting one that looked the same shouldn't have been difficult.
Unless he could provide proof.
But just then, the formation's voice rang out once more.
"The challenger has failed. The gold medallion holder continues to hold the death-exemption gold medallion."
"The Battle Power Enhancement Token is hereby reclaimed."
As the voice faded, the Battle Power Enhancement Token shot up into the sky and vanished.
The crowd gasped.
No verification was needed — the formation's announcement was proof enough.
Chu Feng had truly not used the Battle Power Enhancement Token. He had managed to set up that teleportation formation without anyone noticing.
Just how powerful was his mastery over barriers?
Right then, the formation space dissipated.
Chu Feng and Jie Tian were both exposed within the great hall.
Clang, clang, clang— But in the next instant, countless chains shot out from every direction of the hall, and at the same time, a terrifying pressure engulfed the entire space.
Thousands of figures from the Seven Realms Sacred Palace materialized simultaneously.
At their head stood Saint-level Elder Ling Mou Zi.
"Oh my, if it isn't Saint-level Elder Ling Mou Zi — you're not dead yet?"
Chu Feng flashed Ling Mou Zi a grin.
"Chu Feng, I didn't expect you'd actually dare to show yourself before me," Ling Mou Zi said, his gaze icy.
He still remembered the grudge from when Chu Feng had stormed the Seven Realms Sacred Palace.
"And what are you going to do about it? Can you even catch me?" Chu Feng said with undisguised contempt.
His posture showed that he didn't take this Saint-level elder seriously at all.
"You're already a turtle in a jar," Ling Mou Zi replied.
"Is that so? Then I suppose you don't care about the life of your Young Master Jie Tian?"
As Chu Feng spoke, he moved to yank the barrier sword that had pierced through Jie Tian's chest, intending to torture him.
He wanted to use Jie Tian as leverage against the Seven Realms Sacred Palace.
But at the same moment, Ling Mou Zi formed hand seals, and a barrier chain that had been sealing Chu Feng shot toward him like a flying sword.
Its speed far, far exceeded the speed at Chu Feng could pull his blade.
This was the gap in cultivation realm!
And so, before Chu Feng could inflict any pain on Jie Tian, the barrier chain had already pierced through Chu Feng's neck.
() But in the next moment, the assembled experts felt puzzled.
They had all clearly seen the chain run through Chu Feng's neck.
So why had it now veered off course?
Chu Feng was completely unharmed.
Had Ling Mou Zi intentionally held back?
Pfft—
