Chapter 6014: Everything Has Its Reason
The woman took off her cloak in anger.
She emanated a brilliant light, and her cultivation surged by two ranks, rising from rank one True God level to rank three True God level.
She hurled her fist at Yuwen Yanriâs face.
However, Yuwen Yanri also raised his cultivation to rank three True God level. Not only did he dodge the womanâs punch, but he also twisted his body and countered with a roundhouse kick toward the womanâs neck.
The woman was infuriated.
Instead of engaging Yuwen Yanri in close-quarters combat, a roar echoed from her body, and she unleashed a martial power ferocious beast. It was a martial skill.
Yuwen Yanri was already prepared for her attack. He swiftly retracted his leg and unleashed a palm strike instead, crushing the martial power ferocious beast into bits. Heat waves radiated from his palm, indicating he had used a martial skill too.
Unwilling to give up, the woman unleashed martial skill after martial skill, but Yuwen Yanri unraveled her attacks with ease.
âBrother Yuwen is formidable.â Chu Feng narrowed his eyes.
He had intended to intervene and mediate between them, but he got curious about their battle instead. He wanted to see where their limits were, especially for Yuwen Yanri.
When it came to close-quarters combat for cultivators of their level, the first one to execute their martial skills had a huge advantage. Yet, Yuwen Yanri easily dealt with the other partyâs attacks.
However, their battle soon intensified to a point where Chu Feng couldnât discern the details anymore, even with his Heavenâs Eyes.
Chu Feng was probably the only one who could watch this commotion at his cultivation level, but now, he was having trouble doing so. He couldnât activate his bloodline power and raise his cultivation just to watch the battle.
On top of that, he was worried that they would injure each other. That would make it harder to mediate between them.
So, he revealed himself and spoke up, âMay I know what happened between the two of you?â
Chu Fengâs words immediately drew attention from the two of them.
âBrother Chu Feng.â
Yuwen Yanri retreated from the battle and headed to Chu Fengâs side. Chu Feng could sense his joy even though his face was cloaked.
On the other hand, the woman stopped her attack and began assessing Chu Feng.
âBrother Chu Feng, this is such a coincidence. I didnât expect to meet you here. I have heard about the happenings in the Ancestral Martial Galaxy. Itâs a relief to see youâre fine,â Yuwen Yanri said.
âIt sure is a coincidence. Brother Yuwen, why were you crossing blows with that lady?â Chu Feng asked.
âWe were fighting over something.â
Yuwen Yanri reached into his Cosmos Sack and took out a glowing butterfly.
Chu Feng examined the item.
âWhy were you fighting over this? Do you think that it can lead you to the exit?â
âThatâs right.â Yuwen Yanri nodded.
âThis is just a distraction. This item is made out of spirit power, but it wonât lead you to the monstrous beast,â Chu Feng replied. He turned to the lady and said, âMiss, thereâs no need to come to blows over this item, right? You may have it if you want it.â
With a finger flick, he sent the glowing butterfly toward the woman.
The woman took it, but instead of examining it, she looked at Chu Feng and asked, âYouâre giving it to me after deeming it useless?â
âThatâs not what I mean. I just think that since fate has brought us together, it will be better to make a friend instead of an enemy, right? If Iâm not mistaken, your family name is Zhao, right?â
The woman narrowed her eyes. âHow did you know?â
âYour father is Eighth Zhao, right?â Chu Feng asked.
The woman was initially confused, but she began trembling in anger shortly after. âAre you making fun of me now? Your father is Eighth Zhao!â
The woman flicked her wrist and took out a giant golden sword. This sword was three times larger than the woman, and her aura surged to an even higher level than before.
A terrifying surge of oppressive might gushed before she even made a move, but Yuwen Yanri dissipated it with a wave of his hand.
âDonât blame me for getting nasty if you continue acting unreasonably,â Yuwen Yanri said, sounding much angrier than when the woman attacked him.
âHeâs the one who teased me first!â
The woman glared at Chu Feng with enraged eyes.
âMiss, is there a misunderstanding? May I check if this is your father?â
With a wave of his sleeves, Chu Feng formed a portrait of Eighth Zhao with his spirit power. That lessened the womanâs anger, but it only further confused her.
She sent a voice transmission to Chu Feng, asking, âYou have met my father?â
âYes, I just met him. Your father showed me your portrait, which was how I knew about your relationship. But why did you lose your temper when I said your fatherâs name? Is the name fake?â Chu Feng asked.
âMm.â The woman nodded. Feeling apologetic, she stowed away her giant golden sword and murmured with a lowered head, âSorry about earlier.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDonât worry about it. May I know your name? Iâd prefer it if itâs your real name,â Chu Feng said with a smile.
The woman pondered for a moment before replying, âZhao Zhuyin.â
âMiss Zhao, I am...â
âChu Feng. I have heard,â Zhao Zhuyin interjected.
Chu Feng turned to Yuwen Yanri and asked, âBrother Yuwen, do you mind if this lady travels with us?â
âI donât mind,â Yuwen Yanri replied.
âGood. Brother Yuwen, Miss Zhao, I shall not beat around the bush since weâre on the same side now. I know where the monstrous beast is, but it wonât be an easy foe. Itâs at rank four True God level. I want to ask if the two of you have the means to deal with a rank four True God level monstrous beast,â Chu Feng asked.
âYes, itâs possible,â they answered simultaneously.
Chu Feng was not surprised to hear that. He sensed that they didnât go all out earlier despite raising their cultivation to rank three True God levels. It was also hardly a surprise for prodigies of their caliber to be able to raise their cultivation by three ranks.
And he was right.
Everything had its reason, including why the monstrous beast was at rank four True God level. That was an opponent prepared for the two of them.
