The disciple of the Wish God Granny appeared before Chu Feng once more.
She still looked exactly the same.
Short and small in stature, skin and bones, withered skin covered in deep wrinkles.
Although her face could not be clearly seen, the strands of white hair, the hunched back, and the hoarse voice all proved she was the same person Chu Feng had taken her for.
An old woman.
Yet an old woman should never have been able to cross that boundary gate.
Therefore, she was not old at all.
She was a junior.
“Senior, you are also a junior?”
Chu Feng still voiced the confusion in his heart.
“Have I ever said I was not a junior?”
The disciple replied.
And with that single sentence, she confirmed that she was indeed a junior.
“Hiss.”
Chu Feng sucked in a breath of cold air.
Panic flooded his heart.
But very quickly, however, he noticed a change.
The butterflies circling the disciple turned into streaks of flowing light and began pouring into her body.
At the same time, Chu Feng felt a strange power surge within himself.
The butterflies that had been dancing around him also transformed into streams of light at that moment and entered his body.
Feeling all these changes, Chu Feng’s mouth split open once again.
Only this time, he was not merely panicking. He was smiling.
“So it turns out you and I are of the same generation, senior.”
“In that case, calling you ‘senior’ every time does seem rather impolite.”
Chu Feng said with a cheeky grin.
“You still talk too much. Keep talking.”
“Because very soon, you will not be able to speak at all.”
As she spoke, her long robe flared.
The aura of a first-rank Martial Venerable burst from her body once more, sweeping toward Chu Feng like an invisible ferocious beast.
Buzz.
Yet no matter how that power rushed at him, Chu Feng remained completely unmoved and unharmed.
This scene left the disciple somewhat shocked.
Although her pressure had not been meant to kill him outright, if it had struck true, Chu Feng should still have suffered serious injury.
The current situation was definitely not what she had planned.
“It… it’s that power?”
Earlier, fury had clouded her mind after being tricked by Chu Feng.
She had not noticed the change in the butterflies. Only now did she finally realise.
Thus, she looked down at her own body and began to sense inwardly.
“So that’s how it is.”
She now understood exactly how Chu Feng had remained unscathed.
It was the power of the butterflies.
Because at this very moment, the same power had entered her body as well.
It was subtle, and it required conscious activation to unleash its strength.
What it altered was the physical body.
The property it granted the body was indestructibility and boundless strength.
Swish.
Suddenly, the disciple attacked again.
She no longer released martial power nor drew a weapon. She charged straight at Chu Feng using only her physical body.
Because she knew that Chu Feng, now strengthened by the butterfly power, could not be harmed by either her cultivation or her weapons.
If she wanted to deal with him, she could only use the same power he possessed, the power of the butterflies.
Seeing her rush forward, fists raining down upon him like a storm, Chu Feng did not dare be careless.
Her pressure could no longer hurt him.
But if those fists actually landed, Chu Feng might not be able to withstand them.
He knew that her body had also been enhanced by the butterfly power.
Yet instead of fighting back, Chu Feng kept retreating, his figure constantly pulling away.
Fortunately, he had not only gained an indestructible body, but also extraordinary speed and agility.
Thus, he effortlessly dodged every single one of her attacks.
“Senior, you cannot blame me for this.”
“It was not easy for me to obtain the chance to come here. I too wish to see what this Primordial Hero Sword truly looks like.”
“Since both of us are qualified, why not compete fairly? There is no need for you to use your superior cultivation to suppress a junior.”
“I truly had no choice but to resort to such a lowly tactic.”
Chu Feng explained while continuing to evade.
“Cut the nonsense. Anyone who dares deceive this old lady must pay the price.”
“This old lady must have that Primordial Hero Sword.”
“I kindly advised you to leave because I did not wish to take your life.”
“You refused to appreciate my mercy and would not go. Then do not blame me for being ruthless.”
“I already gave you a chance. You did not cherish it. Now, the only path left for you is death.”
As she spoke, her onslaught grew even fiercer. Every punch was aimed to land solidly. A single hit would injure him.
“Senior, must one of us really die in this place?”
Chu Feng asked gravely.
“Yes. One of us must die. Either you die, or I do.”
The disciple roared.
Swish.
Yet the instant those words left her mouth, Chu Feng’s retreating steps suddenly halted.
Not only that, he took one step forward.
In a flash, he closed the distance between them.
Smack smack.
Before the disciple could react, both her wrists were seized.
Looking closely, it was Chu Feng.
He had gripped her wrists tightly with his own hands.
Then, with a fierce yank, he pinned both her arms against her own chest.
The force was so great that, with a thud, she was slammed onto the ground by Chu Feng and could no longer move.
At that moment, panic surged in her heart.
She had never imagined that the gap created by just three extra butterflies could be so enormous.
Relying solely on the butterfly power, she was no match for him at all.
What frightened her most was that, after pinning her down, Chu Feng stared straight into her eyes.
And the corners of his mouth carried a smile, a smile that actually made her feel fear.
“Audacious Chu Feng, what do you think you are doing?”
The disciple demanded.
“What am I doing?”
“Senior, you are the one who said only one of us can live.”
As Chu Feng reached this point, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that glint, the disciple knew she was in trouble.
Yet she refused to accept it. She refused to accept that she would fall this way, at the hands of the person before her.
Swish.
But just when she thought Chu Feng was about to deliver a killing blow, he suddenly released her and his figure vanished.
Chu Feng had left. Yet his voice still echoed in the cave.
“Senior, if you ask me, both of us can live.”
“Let us each rely on our own abilities and compete fairly!!”
After those words faded, the disciple did not rise immediately.
Instead, she murmured in disbelief,
“That boy… actually let me go?”
She was utterly shocked. She had witnessed Chu Feng’s methods and knew he was not the soft-hearted type.
She had first forced him to leave, then attacked him without mercy. With his personality, even if he did not kill her, he should at least have taught her a harsh lesson.
Why had he simply walked away without even a warning?
Could he be afraid of her master?
Yet somehow, she felt that did not fit Chu Feng’s character at all.
