More and more enemies were gathering in that endless mountain range, and Chen Fei felt an immense pressure, wanting to quickly leave this place. Otherwise, if someone truly latches onto them, his and Cang Kun's situation would become even more dangerous! Extremely difficult.
But clearly, with such a disturbance already made, for him and Cang Kun to sneak away unnoticed was absolutely almost impossible.
After half a day, he finally encountered a strong small group, seven or eight people, with at least three peak Foundation Establishment True Person Realm Second Heavenly Layer experts leading! Such a configuration and lineup, simply overflowing with combat power.
Thus, after a bloody battle, Chen Fei forcibly relied on the Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl to break through a gap, escaping injured with Cang Kun.
But this time, he couldn't wipe them out completely, and the news of him possessing the Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl naturally got exposed.
"What? That kid has the Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl? Isn't that Yun Zhen Pill King's treasure?"
"It's said to have been taken by a mysterious Dark Demon Tower powerhouse, yet now, it's in this kid's hands? It seems he indeed has some secret connection with Dark Demon Tower!"
"So what? I hear several old-generation heroes have already moved out, searching everywhere for the mysterious Dark Demon Tower powerhouse to demand those two favors from Yun Zhen Pill King."
"So if we can kill that kid, not only can we claim the Double-Patterned Heavenly Cloud Pill and Yee Mu's reward! Nor do we have to give up the Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl, right?"
"Why give it up? Whoever kills that kid, the Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl belongs to them!"
...
The crowd was in an uproar!
Silver Magical Treasure, absolutely a treasure they covet and desire.
Moreover, currently, it's clear that Chen Fei's combat power hasn't reached the Third Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, unable to dominate the land like the Seven Sons of Yan Zhen, or to spite those surrounding him! So having this exposed treasure in his hands is definitely a huge disaster. Who wouldn't be tempted by a Silver Magical Treasure!?
More like a joke.
Thus, another half day passed, Chen Fei and Cang Kun were healing but suddenly intruded by a tall, white-haired old man in their hiding spot. Another person discovered their hideout, and the situation wasn't good.
"It seems I'm lucky, you haven't been caught by others yet?" The tall old man appeared, disdainfully gazing at Chen Fei and Cang Kun, exuding an aura that made hearts tremble, incredibly powerful.
"Foundation Establishment True Person Realm Third Heavenly Layer?" Chen Fei's expression immediately changed; he didn't expect this intruder would be at the Third Heavenly Layer, which made things troublesome.
The tall old man's white hair was like snow, his eyes seemed like knives stabbing people's hearts, with a hint of superiority and contempt. But his gaze towards Chen Fei also carried a slight trace of excitement.
Everyone already knew about Chen Fei possessing the Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl. So if he could kill this kid and seize the Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl, wouldn't his power soar!?
Such a treasure, even for someone like him at the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm Third Heavenly Layer, was absolutely tempting. With a Silver Magical Treasure in hand, his power could increase at least twofold!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
Just then, more figures appeared one after another. Mostly older generations, exuding the aura of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm Second Heavenly Layer peak, at least two of them.
However, when they saw the tall old man's face, their expressions changed, pupils slightly contracted.
"Yan Qingyun?" Someone looked fearfully at the tall old man, apprehensive.
Yan Qingyun, a notorious loose cultivator expert in Ghost Wolf City, with cultivation long reached the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm Third Heavenly Layer, and also an Array Master, mastering the Seven-Layer Human Formation, cold and ruthless, extremely bloodthirsty.
Such a person was described as an old schemer behind the scenes in Ghost Wolf City, without exaggeration. Few dared openly provoke this person, because if targeted, one wouldn't even know how they died.
"Master, what should we do now?" Cang Kun approached Chen Fei, expression somewhat grim, asking with a bitter smile.
After days of consecutive battles, his cultivation had once again broken through, reaching the peak of Second Layer Second Level Beast, theoretically a cause for joy! But given the current situation, how could he be happy?
"Find a way to escape." Chen Fei also shook his head gloomily, planning to seize an opportunity to slip away.
With such a lineup, such scale, they both currently couldn't fight this kind of battle.
"Escape? Do you think I've spent so much time with you just to let you run?" Yan Qingyun seemed to hear Chen Fei, shook his head dismissively.
Boom!
A deep rumble, Chen Fei suddenly felt a gray force emerging from beneath him.
An inexplicable, formidable power locked the area where he currently stood, formation emerged, incredibly powerful, causing his expression to change.
"Formation? Is it the Seven-Layer Human Formation?"
Chen Fei's expression turned more gloomy, knowing things were bad. This person had quietly set up a formation while he wasn't paying attention... No wonder he didn't immediately act upon appearing.
"Break it!" Then he saw Chen Fei summon the Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl, attempting to break the Seven-Layer Human Formation. The terrifying roar was deafening, fire sea spreading, astonishing.
"The Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl is truly in your hands. Excellent, that's wonderful." Upon seeing this, Yan Qingyun's eyes shone with a peculiar light.
"Don't waste your strength. Even though you have the Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl, given your abilities, don't dream of breaking through the formation I've set up in a short time. Today, you're destined to face a calamity." He then sneered coldly.
Silver magical treasures are mighty, but it depends on whose hands they are in.
Chen Fei's current abilities are clearly insufficient, unable to unleash the true power of such a peerless treasure... hence, he wasn't worried that Chen Fei could suddenly break his formation and escape.
"Boom!"
But just then, within the terrifying Seven-Layer Human Formation, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a small, pitch-black flag appeared in Chen Fei's view. Followed by a delicate, soft, and playful laugh.
"Does Brother Chen need my help?" It was definitely a woman, with a playful smile in her voice, yet Chen Fei couldn't pinpoint the origin of the laughter.
Even Yan Qingyun, outside the formation, seemed unaware?
"Master?" Chen Fei's expression changed, looking towards Chen Fei. Clearly, he too heard that eerie female voice.
Chen Fei's brows furrowed slightly.
"If Miss wants to help me, perhaps kill this troublesome guy in front of me first?" Then his gaze fell on the pitch-black flag, speaking.
"Miss? Brother Chen, your mouth is unexpectedly sweet? Quite surprising." Indeed, the pitch-black flag trembled slightly, responding with that delicate, insightful laughter.
"But if you want to kill this person in front, I can't help you. Yan Qingyun is a Third Heavenly Layer expert of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm, and also a Seven-Layer Human Formation Master. Forget me, even the two of us together don't have the ability."
At this point, the delicate voice paused slightly and then laughed again: "However, I have other ways to deceive and take you away... How about you beg me, Brother Chen? As long as you ask, I promise to take you away immediately. And even Yan Qingyun won't anticipate, nor stop you."
Chen Fei was stunned hearing this, feeling somewhat helpless yet amused. He could tell the other was joking, but such a joke left him unsure how to respond in this dire situation.
"Miss, stop joking. If you don't act soon, that guy outside might discover." Chen Fei said with a bitter smile.
In the current situation, having someone willing to help was a blessing he couldn't turn down. But if delayed further, problems might arise. A quick resolution was necessary.
"You're truly boring." One could imagine the woman pouting in dissatisfaction. Then she spoke again: "Hold off Yan Qingyun for a while; I need to prepare, ensuring they don't find me."
Chen Fei knew these were excuses, having somewhat guessed the origin of the pitch-black flag. The woman was likely stalling for ulterior motives or planning to reap the benefits?
Yet he said nothing. For though the woman schemed against him, he too calculated against her.
He simply wished not to reveal the Octagonal Mystic Tower and Lizhen Furnace, else he would've slain all and slipped away long ago. But if he truly did that, he'd surely become a target for everyone!
Boom!
"Boy, surrender. I'll ensure a comfortable death for you."
At this moment, the terrifying great formation began to operate! The aura grew increasingly terrifying, spiritual light overflowed, filling the sky, bolstering the formation patterns' strength.
Soon, terrifying power and pressure from all directions squeezed towards Chen Fei! As if everything was about to explode under pressure.
"Damn it." Chen Fei's face changed drastically, hurriedly summoning the Demon God Puppet to fuse with himself, reaching the strongest state,
and also summoned the Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl, hanging it above, shielding himself along with Cang Kun.
"Soon, I'll try to break a gap in this formation. Once an opportunity arises, run immediately! Don't care about me." Taking advantage of the situation, Chen Fei spoke to Cang Kun beside him.
"No way!" Cang Kun's expression changed, immediately shaking his head in rejection, saying: "No, Master, how could I do that?"
"Their target is someone else; they can't kill me. If we split up to flee, it'd be easier, understand?" But this time, Chen Fei's attitude was firm, directly commanding in tone.
"It's decided."
Cang Kun initially wanted to say more, but Chen Fei's words and attitude led him to accept and fall silent.
He understood he was somewhat burdening Chen Fei now, or perhaps the situation wouldn't be so complicated.
"Prepare to break through! I'm acting now..."
"Boom!"
Next moment, Chen Fei's cold voice suddenly echoed in Cang Kun's ears!
Then, terrifying heat swept through the skies. The Scarlet Flame Tide Bowl became a terrifying flame ball, dazzling, scary like sunlight, with rolling flames filling the heavens and earth...
Instantly, a massive, powerful pressure fiercely oppressed the formation! All witnessing this were shocked and changed in expression.
