Upon hearing those words, Egg Egg—who had been lounging casually, seated cross-legged in the Spirit Space—immediately shot to her feet and entered a state of combat readiness.
After all, the fact that this person actually knew Chu Feng's identity was extremely troubling.
But just at that moment, the woman's secret voice transmission came once more.
"Leave this place and head straight west. I will come find you."
With those words, the woman departed from the area.
"Chu Feng, what's going on? Do you know her?" Egg Egg asked Chu Feng.
"That voice—no, I don't recognize it."
"But it could be someone I knew before, using a disguised voice. Never mind, let's just leave first."
Chu Feng understood that exposing his identity here was extremely dangerous.
But the fact that she knew who he was without revealing him meant she had other plans.
Chu Feng wanted to know just what those plans were.
So he found an excuse, shook off the elder from the Prison Sect, and departed from the sect's forbidden grounds—heading straight west, just as the woman had instructed.
Chu Feng moved quickly, and before long he had left the Prison Sect's territory far behind.
"Chu Feng, who do you think it could be?" Egg Egg asked.
"I have a guess, but I'm not sure," Chu Feng said.
"Who?" Egg Egg asked.
But just at that moment, a murderous aura surged toward him from behind.
The aura belonged to a Ninth Level True God.
Chu Feng didn't dare let his guard down. The Thunder Mark, the Thunder Armor, and the Thunder Wings—all three were deployed at once, raising his cultivation to the Ninth Level True God.
In the blink of an eye, the killing intent had arrived.
Chu Feng clenched his hand, and a Boundary Sword materialized, held horizontally before him.
There had been nothing in front of him moments before.
But the instant Chu Feng assumed his defensive stance, the space tore open and a divine weapon longsword slashed out, striking down at his Boundary Sword with a devastating overhead chop.
A single blow was enough to send Chu Feng sliding backward, and a crack appeared along the length of his Boundary Sword.
Though the Boundary Sword—formed from his Boundary Formation—was already formidable, matching it against a divine weapon was no easy task, especially when the weapon's wielder was no weakling.
Chu Feng had his reasons for not wielding a divine weapon of his own. He had no desire to fight this person—he only wanted to know who she was.
"Who are you?" Chu Feng called out in a firm voice.
The attacker was, after all, the very woman who had been secretly transmitting her voice to him.
"Heh…"
The woman didn't answer. After a cold laugh, her aura shifted once more.
It was still the Ninth Level True God realm, but she had gained an additional level of combat power.
Seeing this, Chu Feng felt no fear. The Thunder Flame erupted around him, and he too gained a single transcendent level of combat power atop his Ninth Level True God foundation.
The woman gripped the divine weapon longsword with both hands and charged at Chu Feng once more. She didn't employ any martial techniques, yet every slash was lethal.
Chu Feng held his Boundary Sword and blocked strike after strike.
Don't let her slender frame fool you—she was shorter than even half the length of her own longsword. But her offense was ferocious, her combat power extraordinary.
"You're still not going all out? Do you look down on me?" the woman said coldly, tinged with a note of anger. She had seen through him.
It wasn't that Chu Feng lacked the strength to fight back. The only reason he was on the defensive was because he wasn't taking this fight seriously.
"Who exactly are you?" Chu Feng asked again.
"Beat me first, then we'll talk."
Power surged forth, coiling around the divine weapon longsword and multiplying its might severalfold.
The longsword descended once more—but its target wasn't Chu Feng. It was the Boundary Sword in his hands, aiming to shatter the already-cracked blade.
But Chu Feng saw through her intent and refused to meet the blow head-on. Instead, he leaped backward, evading the strike.
The woman immediately pressed the attack.
Whoosh— But Chu Feng flung his arm, releasing the Boundary Sword and hurling it at the woman like a throwing dart.
The woman was charging forward at that very moment, and with a single casual slash she split the Boundary Sword to pieces.
Clang—
