âThe Ouyang Heavenly Clan is formidable. The Netherworld Sect canât enter.â
Long Chengyu and the others were the most delighted to see the sturdy protective formation.
âThe Ouyang Heavenly Clan has nine Heavenly Gods, whereas the Netherworld Sect only has Jimo Qianzhou. It isn't surprising that they arenât a match for the Ouyang Heavenly Clan,â Long Mucheng remarked.
Long Muxi didnât say a word, but she was overjoyed too.
The Netherworld Sect was likely after Chu Feng. If not for the Ouyang Heavenly Clanâs help, they would have had a difficult time fending against the Netherworld Sect even with Long Mucheng.
She turned to the Immemorial Massacre Seaâs stone monument, hoping to see how Chu Feng and Little Fishy were faring in the trial through it.
Her happiness vanished into thin air.
Chu Fengâs name was becoming clearer on the stone monument, but Little Fishyâs name was slowly eroding.
Long Muxi didnât know the cause behind that, but she was worried that Little Fishy had met with danger. Thinking back, Little Fishy hadnât been in a good condition earlier.
Yet another âKillâ character had just fallen.
Even before the red aura dissipated, Little Fishy was already certain that she couldnât withstand it anymore. She opened her eyes and looked at Chu Feng, who was meditating beside to adjust his physical state.
She planned to leave without interrupting Chu Feng, but the moment she stood up, immense pressure suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped her. That made it nigh impossible for her to rise into the air.
To make things worse, when she raised her head, she saw the âKillâ characters above shaking. These shaking should have only fallen much later, yet it looked like they were on the verge of descending now.
An ominous premonition gripped her heart.
If she attempted to leave right now, not only would she have to overcome this immense pressure, but the âKillâ characters in the sky might also fall in succession to hinder her.
How was she supposed to leave like that?
Despair seeped into her heart, but she looked at Chu Feng with a smile.
If the âKillâ characters rushed at her to stop her departure, Chu Feng would have less on his hands to deal with. In a way, that was good news to her.
So, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and rose into the sky.
The restraining force was so strong that her rate of ascension was awfully slow.
To make things worse, a âKillâ character dropped from the sky and rushed at her. Its prowess was much weaker than in the trial, but it looked like the other âKillâ characters might follow suit and rush at her.
Even dealing with the powerful restraining force was too much for her feeble state, let alone the onslaught of the âKillâ characters. She was no longer certain whether she could escape from this place alive.
Feeling death encroaching on her, she lowered her head to take another look at Chu Feng. To her astonishment, Chu Feng had disappeared.
All of a sudden, a hand grabbed her arm.
It was Chu Feng!
Chu Feng held Little Fishy by her arm and swiftly flitted upward.
âBig brother, youâ¦â
Little Fishy stared at Chu Feng in a daze. The restraining force on her had been shifted over to Chu Feng, but he still moved at an incredible speed.
Chu Feng pulled her into his chest and held her tightly. One of the âKillâ characters falling from the sky was drawing close to them.
Little Fishy buried her head in Chu Fengâs chest and closed her eyes tight. Her hands unwittingly clutched Chu Fengâs clothes tightly. Even though the restraining force had moved over to Chu Feng, she wasnât sure if she was strong enough to withstand this attack.
Boom boom boom!
The red aura dissipated, and Little Fishy emerged unhurt. She didnât feel any adverse effects either. This prompted her to turn to Chu Feng out of worry, but the latter was unfazed.
This didnât make sense. While this âKillâ character was weaker than what they had faced in the trial, it was still a force to be reckoned with.
And even more terrifying pressure was being exerted from the sky.
Worry brimmed in Little Fishyâs eyes once more.
As if knowing that a single âKillâ character wasnât enough to take Chu Feng down, an army of âKillâ characters descended at once.
Little Fishy was frightened, but Chu Feng gently whispered in her ear, saying, âDonât worry, Iâll safely bring you out.â
An even more frightening killing intent flared from Chu Feng.
Little Fishy, being huddled in Chu Fengâs arms, was completely enveloped by the killing intent, allowing her to feel just how terrifying it was. She would have never thought that a human could harness such intense killing intent.
Even the âKillâ characters were nothing before his killing intent.Â
By pitting killing intent against killing intent, the descending âKillâ characters failed to inflict any damage on them.
Soon, Chu Feng safely escaped from the sea with Little Fishy.
The âKillâ characters in the sky finally stopped falling, but the circle platform submerged in the water rose to the surface. Chu Feng would have to start from scratch if he wanted to challenge the trial again.
To clear the trial, Chu Feng would have to bear the power of the âKillâ characters without resisting, so he couldnât release his killing intent to neutralize them. In other words, he would have to undergo all the suffering once more.
The thought of that made Little Fishyâs eyes moist.
âBig brother, I have brought you trouble.â
Before her tears could fall, Chu Feng gently placed his palm on her cheek and said, âYou arenât trouble. Youâre a treasure.â
Little Fishy was stunned. Chu Feng was looking at her with gentle, doting eyes.
Before she could say a word, Chu Feng said, âWait here for me.â
He turned around and returned to the circle platform.
âKillâ characters fell once more, but this time, they fell in quick succession, leaving no room for the challenger to catch a breather.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Similarly, the circle platform also descended into the Immemorial Massacre Sea at a much faster pace than before. By the time Little Fishy snapped out of her daze, Chu Feng was already submerged deep into the Massacre Sea with the circle platform.
This made her widen her eyes in realization. If not for her, Chu Feng could have cleared the trial much faster.
