Martial God Asura

Chapter 6534: Inner Demon

Chu Feng’s eyes widened. He noticed that his formation was suddenly seeping into the sacred item faster than before. The curse energy in his formation had become stronger.

“Miss Li Wu, please hold on a little longer.”

Chu Feng knew that Li Wu must have made a move.

Meanwhile, there was a concealed warship parked not too far away from the Undying Starfield. Sitting with crossed legs on the ship were Li Wu and Bai Yunqing. The former was channeling her energy, whereas the latter was supporting her with his formation.

Their efforts greatly reinforced the formation over on Chu Feng’s side, though it also suffused the warship with curse energy as well.

Wen Xue stood by the corner. She reached out and grabbed a sliver of curse energy. As Li Wu was consciously controlling the curse energy, it didn’t hurt Wen Xue.

“What formidable curse energy.” Wen Xue examined the curse energy before turning her eyes back to Li Wu. “I wonder what kind of entity you are to wield such tremendous power.”

A guess popped into her head, and the corners of her lips curled into a bizarre smile. Viciousness, vileness, and greed, traits that were at odds with her innocent face, surfaced in her eyes.

But Bai Yunqing and Li Wu were too focused on helping Chu Feng reinforce the formation that they didn’t notice it.

...

On Chu Feng’s side, Jie Tianran continued attempting to remove Chu Feng’s formation away from his, but he didn’t double down on his efforts. To curb Jie Tianran, Chu Feng deepened the link between his formation and Jie Tianran’s.

“I see. That old thing sure is scheming.” Chu Feng suddenly realized something.

Jie Tianran must have realized that Li Wu’s curse energy was more effective at assimilating the sacred item, so he wanted to exploit it. As both formations were tied together, Jie Tianran could, to some extent, tap into Li Wu’s curse energy as well if he utilized the correct methods.

He had wanted to remove Chu Feng’s formation earlier because he didn’t want Chu Feng to take advantage of him, but upon realizing that Chu Feng’s formation was more effective, he had decided to take advantage of Chu Feng instead.

He had made a perfunctory effort to remove Chu Feng’s formation to pull wool over Chu Feng’s eyes.

“Old thing, you must think that you’re taking advantage of me, but I bet you don’t know that you’re just playing into my hand.”

While Chu Feng was dissatisfied with Jie Tianran’s underhanded move, the last thing he wanted was for Jie Tianran to interfere with his efforts. This worked out for him. His true goal was not to control the sacred item but to tap into its power to activate the suppression talisman paper.

The talisman paper Jie Tianran had taken out earlier was still floating next to him; he hadn’t used it yet.

“Jie Tianran, you can’t bear to use your treasure?” Cang Li questioned.

It was obvious to anyone watching that Jie Tianran had planned to activate the talisman paper to strengthen the formation to deal with Chu Feng, but Jie Tianran had refrained from activating it in the end.

Cang Li assumed that Jie Tianran couldn’t bear to use it.

“Keep your thoughts to yourself. It’s beyond you to interfere with the affairs of world spiritists. I have my own intentions,” Jie Tianran snorted impatiently.

Chu Feng was right. Jie Tianran had stopped removing Chu Feng’s formation because he realized that Chu Feng’s formation quickened the assimilation of the sacred item. He simply wanted to make use of Chu Feng.

But he couldn’t possibly tell Cang Li that.

“What powerful curse energy. It’s very compatible with the sacred item. Your grandson has quite the means to obtain something like that,” the old entity told Jie Tianran.

“He’s just paving the way for me,” Jie Tianran snorted.

“Jie Tianran, your grandson is a cunning one. It’s not your first time crossing blows with him. When have you managed to take advantage of him? You’re using his formation to hasten the assimilation of the Netherworld Sect’s sacred item, but do you think he doesn’t know that?”

“You’re saying that little bastard is doing it on purpose?”

“I can’t say for sure. On the surface, it looks like you’re taking advantage of that brat, but something feels off.”

“Hahaha...” Jie Tianran suddenly burst into laughter.

“What are you laughing at?” The old monster was displeased.

“You’re letting your fear get ahead of you. Just because that little bastard outdid us several times, you overestimate his capabilities and doubt your own ability. As for me, I don’t let my emotions get in the way of my judgment. No matter the situation, I’ll face it with confidence,” Jie Tianran replied.

“Jie Tianran, confidence is a virtue, but conceit is a bane. Your overconfidence might just lead you into another one of your grandson’s traps. People like you, who have been in a position of power for a long time, are exceptionally prone to that. I have been through that myself,” the old entity said.

“My confidence is founded on concrete grounds, and I have you here with me. I won’t let Chu Feng get away this time,” Jie Tianran replied.

“Indeed. Now that your grandson knows about my existence, I’ll be humiliated as well if he outdoes you. I’ll lend you my strength,” the old entity said.

A surge of energy flowed into Jie Tianran’s body, and his formation was enhanced without activating the formation paper.

However, Jie Tianran said, “Leave this formation to me. If you want to make a move... why don’t you construct a sealing formation just in case?”

“Hasn’t the Netherworld Sect already constructed a tight net?” the old entity asked.

“The Netherworld Sect? The fact that Chu Feng slipped in here is a testament to their incompetence. Besides, Chu Feng possesses strong escape means. That’s why he remains calm despite being surrounded. We can’t count on them to capture Chu Feng,” Jie Tianran said.

“That makes sense. I’m confident of trapping Chu Feng here as long as he doesn’t use the sacred item to flee,” the old entity said.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let him have the sacred item’s power. It is mine,” Jie Tianran replied confidently.
