Library of Heaven’s Path - Chapter 2193

This was especially so for Feng Xu. He was the strongest existence beneath the God Kings of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, and he was ranked third on the Board of Potential God Kings of the Sky of Spirit Origin.

Back then, while Feng Xu was known as a God King, the reason why he was valued by his clan was because of his potential, not his fighting prowess.

Feng Xu was already over six hundred years old, and his potential had already been depleted. As such, he was no longer qualified to compete with him. However, his fighting prowess was not to be underestimated.

Just the fact that he was ranked third on the Board of Potential God Kings was enough to send countless people into despair.

“Are you afraid?”

Zhang Xuan asked, noticing Feng Xu’s worry.

“That’s not it. It’s just that … I’m not that confident.”

Feng Jiuge gritted his teeth.

As profound as the knowledge he had just learned was, he had only comprehended it for two hours, and he had yet to put it into practice. Thus, he had no idea how powerful it was.

If it turned out to be ineffective and he was attacked by so many experts, he would not even know how he died!

“As long as you execute the battle techniques that I have imparted to you, it won’t be too difficult for you to breach the formation,” Zhang Xuan said.

“Yes!” Feng Jiuge nodded. Without thinking too much about it, he leaped toward the dueling ring.

As soon as he entered the dueling ring, the nine figures that he had seen earlier vanished into the formation, as if they had never existed in the first place. Feng Jiuge took a step forward, and he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.

My teacher said that if I were to turn back in such a situation, I’ll fall into the trap that the other party has set up. The only way out is to return to my original position and attack simultaneously …

Without any hesitation, Feng Jiuge began walking toward the spot where he had been standing previously.

With someone sneaking up on him from behind, it was extremely dangerous for him to take a step back. If he wasn’t careful, he might just bump into the other party’s spear. However, he had no other choice at this point. As soon as Feng Jiu Ge’s retreating foot touched the ground, his other foot immediately kicked out.

Peng!

A dull thud echoed in the air, as if someone had been struck.

“This …”

Feng Jiuge’s eyes lit up.

He had only intended to probe the other party’s strength, so he did not harbor too much hope. After all, it was a sneak attack from the back, and the other party was in control of the formation, so it was likely that they would notice it in advance. Who could have thought that he would actually succeed?

My teacher said that if I were to succeed, the other party would surely make use of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack in order to prevent me from pursuing him. In order to prevent that from happening, there’s no need for me to dodge too much. I just have to return to my original position …

His teacher’s words echoed in his mind once more.

Just now, when he stepped out, the place where he was standing and the place where he stepped out were not attacked. This meant that there were no enemies in those two places. As long as he made good use of it, he would be able to achieve unexpected results.

Zhang Xuan retracted his body and returned to his original position, and he immediately felt two surges of energy brushing past him and colliding with one another.

“It works!” Feng Jiuge nodded excitedly. It was exactly as his teacher had said, as if he had predicted it in advance. After which, he twirled his body around and sent a kick toward a certain direction.

Bang!

There was another muffled groan. Before the other sneak attacker could make a move, he was kicked in the chest.

The next few moves were just as his teacher had explained to him. Feng Jiuge no longer felt any fear from before, and a brilliant light shone in his eyes as he charged toward the person who had attacked him.

…

Outside the arena.

Diagonally across from Zhang Xuan was a pavilion that towered into the clouds, and there were a few elders standing on top of it.

“Not only has Feng Jiuge recovered his strength, he even intends to challenge the Nine Phoenix Grand Formation … This is really beyond my expectations!”

An old man with a green beard said.

He was the First Elder of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, Feng Danqing.

Back then, he had thought highly of Feng Jiuge, thinking that he would be able to become a God King just like the clan head and raise the influence of the Inferno Phoenix Clan. Who could have thought that such a genius would die in a single trial?

Over the past two years, he had looked for quite a few people, but none of them had been able to resolve Feng Jiuge’s condition. Left with no choice, he had made the decision to give up. Who could have thought that Feng Jiuge would return right after leaving the clan and challenge the Nine Phoenix Formation?

Just what in the world did this genius eat?

“I just asked around, and after he left the clan, he met an unaffiliated cultivator who had been wandering outside the clan for a long time. That unaffiliated cultivator treated his illness and helped him achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation!”

An old man by the side said.

He was the Second Elder, Feng Yuntian.

“I heard that the unaffiliated cultivator had a duel with Feng Jiang, and he was stronger than the latter?”

Feng Danqing asked.

“That’s right. That unaffiliated cultivator is no ordinary individual, “Feng Yuntian replied.

“He’s not the only one. Feng Jiuge has also undergone a complete metamorphosis. His two years of experience have allowed him to calm down significantly. Even if he’s unable to clear the Nine Phoenix Formation, he’s still qualified to return to the clan! ”

Feng Danqing said as he stroked his beard.

Feng Yuntian nodded.

As the head of the Inferno Phoenix Clan, he did not wish for the geniuses of the Inferno Phoenix Clan to die. However, he could not allow them to be expelled from the clan and return as they pleased.

Thus, the Nine Phoenix Formation had to continue. As for who would emerge victorious in the end, that would be up to them.

“Feng Jiuge must be in a terrible state to be struggling in the formation … Tell Feng Xu and the others to just let him suffer a little. Don’t damage his foundation or else he won’t be able to cultivate in the future!”

Feng Danqing instructed as he stood by the window and calculated the time that Feng Jiuge had spent in the formation.

Once the Nine Phoenix Formation was activated, the thick mist shrouded the area, making it impossible for them to peer into the situation within.

However, the formation had Feng Xu, Feng Yuancheng, and Feng Qingyan at the same time. Putting aside the fact that Feng Jiuge was only recovering from his injuries, even if he were to double, triple, or even triple his strength, it would still be impossible for him to emerge victorious.

The only reason they were still doing this was to give Feng Jiuge a taste of his own medicine.

“Alright, I’ll send a message over right now …” Feng Yuntian nodded and sent a telepathic message over. A moment later, a frown appeared on his forehead. “They haven’t responded yet. Could it be that … Feng Jiuge was too weak and failed to clear the primary trial and was killed?”

In order to beat someone up, one had to have the qualifications to do so. If one’s strength was too weak and they died before they could use their strength, they could only blame themselves for not having a high enough cultivation base.

There was no one else to blame.

“Killed?” Feng Danqing frowned and ordered, “Stop the formation!”

“Alright!” Feng Yuntian replied. With a point of his finger, a stream of energy shot into the mist in front of him.

Although there were nine people managing the Nine Phoenix Grand Formation below, the true control was still in their hands. If they wanted to stop it, they could do so with a thought.

Hu!

The air above the arena fluctuated violently, and the mist slowly disappeared.

“Feng Jiuge couldn’t even last three minutes before being killed. So what if he’s dead? It doesn’t really matter anymore …”

Fearing that the First Elder would be displeased, Feng Yuntian explained. However, before he could finish his words, he caught sight of the situation on the stage and his mouth fell open.

By the side, Feng Danqing also widened his eyes in shock.

On the dueling ring, Feng Jiuge, whom they had thought to be dead, was still chasing after Feng Jiuge energetically. On the other hand, Feng Xu and the others were trembling uncontrollably as they retreated.
