Martial God Asura

Chapter 6535: Betrayal

As time passed, Li Wu’s curse energy weakened, and the rate of assimilation of Chu Feng’s formation began to slow.

“That little bastard is at his limit. It’s time to dump him.”

Seeing that he had squeezed Chu Feng’s value dry, Jie Tianran flicked his finger.

The red talisman paper that he had taken out earlier but hadn’t used yet descended and fused into his formation. The control formation swiftly turned red throughout, and it took only an instant for it to eject Chu Feng’s formation from it.

“That old thing is quite skilled at backstabbing,” Chu Feng scoffed.

“It’s time to show the Netherworld Sect what we, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, are capable of,” Jie Tianran declared. He waved his sleeves, and another twenty talisman papers flew forth.

Ten of these talisman papers were golden, and the other ten were black. They harnessed spirit power that was nowhere weaker than the red talisman paper, but they moved as if they had a life of their own. Clearly, they were invaluable treasures.

The golden talisman papers emanated fierce auras, whereas the black talisman papers emanated sinister auras. They had different uses.

“The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion has benefited a lot from ruling over the world of cultivation for so many years.” Cang Li frowned.

He might not be a world spiritist, but he could tell that Jie Tianran’s talisman papers were invaluable treasures. Even possessing one was already a huge thing, but Jie Tianran used twenty of them in a single shot without batting an eyelid.

And this was nothing but a glimpse of Jie Tianran’s wealth. Jie Tianran wouldn’t stake all his assets to help the Netherworld Sect. It only went to say that he possessed many more of such talisman papers.

The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion was much wealthier than the Netherworld Sect had thought.

Shoosh!

The golden and the black talisman papers fused into the control formation. The red energy faded, replaced by an amalgamation of black energy and golden energy.

“This feeling... That old thing has a few tricks up his sleeve.”

Chu Feng sensed Jie Tianran’s control formation becoming stronger in real time. The latter wasn’t about to leave any room for Chu Feng to make a comeback. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before Jie Tianran’s formation became stronger than Chu Feng’s.

But the greatest threat to Chu Feng was not Jie Tianran gaining greater control over the sacred item than him, but that Jie Tianran was simultaneously suppressing Chu Feng’s control over the sacred item as well.

So, Chu Feng stopped reinforcing his control over the sacred item and instead channeled his spirit power to fend against Jie Tianran’s suppression.

“That little bastard is still too young. Even if you guard your current progress, it means nothing when my control over the sacred item surpasses you,” Jie Tianran sneered.

Everything was going according to his plan. He had successfully distracted Chu Feng from reinforcing his control over the sacred item. While Chu Feng’s progress had stagnated, Jie Tianran made quick progress and soon overtook him.

But Jie Tianran wasn’t content with just this. He took out ten more golden talisman papers with a wave of his sleeves and fused them into the formation.

Cang Li began wiping the cold sweat off his forehead. “That Jie Tianran isn’t one to strike a losing deal. How much does he intend to get out of our Netherworld Sect if he’s expending so many treasures to help us awaken our sacred item?”

He was previously worried that Jie Tianran couldn’t bear to use his treasures, but now, he was worried about Jie Tianran using too many treasures. After all, Jie Tianran would surely settle the bills with their Netherworld Sect afterward.

“What’s the situation, Chu Feng?” Eggy asked.

She couldn’t see the situation with the sacred item, but she could sense the changes in Jie Tianran’s control formation. Jie Tianran’s control formation had begun emanating the sacred item’s aura, a sign that both had begun to assimilate.

This wasn’t good news.

“Jie Tianran has used treasures to reinforce his control formation, and his control over the sacred item has now surpassed mine. However, he isn’t going all out yet; he seems to be secretly doing something on the side. I don’t know what that old thing is planning, but you don’t have to worry. He won’t gain control of that sacred item so easily.”

In contrast, Chu Feng wasn’t very worried.

Eggy’s heart was set at ease. She knew Chu Feng well, and the latter wasn’t one to feign composure. He must be confident.

“What do we do now?” Eggy asked.

“We can already channel the suppression talisman paper,” Chu Feng replied.

“Why aren’t you channeling it yet then?” As Eggy said those words, her eyes suddenly widened, and a mischievous smile formed on her face. “I know. You must be up to no good. Are you going to pull one over on your grandfather again? Let’s infuriate that old thing to death this time.”

“Infuriate him to death? That would be a fitting death for him,” Chu Feng replied with a smile.

Jie Tianran couldn’t hear Chu Feng and Eggy’s conversation. He just thought that everything was going according to plan. All of a sudden, he turned to Cang Li and said, “Cang Li, take a good look and judge for yourself whether I’m helping your Netherworld Sect or not.”

Jie Tianran suddenly changed his hand seal, and the Undying Starfield shook.

Two golden formation hands extended from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s control formation and grasped the sacred item’s door.

Boom!

The two formation hands exerted force, and the door began to slowly open.

A strong but sinister dark red aura gushed out from the sacred item. It looked as if tens of thousands of ghosts were gushing out from the gates of hell to suffuse the surroundings.
