The old man’s words seed a bit foolish, but Chu Linfeng did not resent his attitude. There’s no need to offend a strong person; sotis playing the fool is the smartest choice.
"I just entered, not knowing what purpose you have in seeking ? I rember there are quite a few people inside this tower, why not let go in?" Chu Linfeng said.
After carefully assessing Chu Linfeng, the old man said, "Boy, you should know that it takes at least five days from the entrance of Death Tower Land to here. The harsh environnt has already exhausted people to the point of collapse. Anyone who manages to get here generally has only half their life left, yet you are full of vigor without any signs of fatigue. If you don’t tell the truth, be careful lest I take your life."
"If you don’t believe, then let it be. Unless you think I materialized out of thin air. I’m well aware of the environnt in Death Tower Land. While flying isn’t possible, it’s feasible to move quickly here. I reached here in a day from the entrance, isn’t that possible? Luck spared from encountering fierce Li Feng and sandstorms, and what’s your aning in not letting enter? Do you truly think being powerful ans you can bully others at will? I’m naturally immune to such nonsense." Chu Linfeng said calmly.
"Heh, your temper is indeed quite high. You’re the first to dare speak to in this manner. I had good intentions to stop you from entering, but you thought I was harming you. Since you wish to die, I’ll grant your wish. Rather than suffer inside, it’s better to relieve yourself early." The old man said.
"Killing won’t be that easy. Unexpectedly, you want to slay as soon as I arrive here, without any animosity between us. What right do you have? Is it because of your powerful skills? Or envy because I’m younger? You truly think I’m scared of you, old undying? If you have the skill, just use it." Chu Linfeng said.
"Lin Feng, this is a very bizarre place where powers can’t be normally exerted. Otherwise, with so many experts here, these towers would have been destroyed long ago and wouldn’t still be standing. Look around, the environnt hasn’t been damaged. Don’t be careless. Even I can’t discern the cause here; it resembles a barrier, maybe an illusion.
If it’s a barrier, it’s certainly not of this world. If it’s an illusion, perhaps it’s more formidable than the current Illusory Child’s illusion realm." Sword Spirit cautioned Chu Linfeng.
Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng was instantly shocked. As he circulated the chaotic dragon power within him, he realized it indeed seed sealed, allowing only limited use. Such an eerie phenonon was his first encounter.
However, if his powers are sealed, then the old man’s powers are equally sealed. In terms of defense, Chu Linfeng is confident his Seventh Layer of Star Body is far superior, so this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
"Chu Qing, are your powers sealed?" Chu Linfeng thought to ask Chu Qing within the storage ring.
"Not at all, brother. Both Chu Tong and I can wield our powers. Should we protect you?" Chu Qing quickly responded.
On hearing this, Chu Linfeng rejoiced imnsely. Chu Qing and Chu Tong would be his trump cards here, reserved for crucial tis. He said, "No need now, let’s wait until the mont cos."
"Boy, everyone’s power here is sealed down by two levels. Even a Venerable Martial Realm expert can only exert Divine Martial Realm power here. Do you think you stand a chance at life under my Eighth Layer of Divine Martial Realm skills?" The old man said with a smile to Chu Linfeng.
Chu Linfeng burst into laughter: "Old man, you really brag shalessly. Is Eighth Layer of Divine Martial Realm truly that mighty? I let you hit and you wouldn’t hurt . Seeing your advanced age, I didn’t want to argue, yet you persist so aggressively. Show your skills if you’ve got them, stop spouting nonsense."
"Alright! Today I’ll teach you what it ans to disrespect your elders!" The old man said and swiftly struck Chu Linfeng with his palm. This apparently simple strike was accompanied by wind and thunder, a power not inferior to a Second or Third Layer Saint Realm martial artist.
Chu Linfeng didn’t dare be careless, despite his astonishing defense, not sure if it might drop in this eerie place. If it drops too much, he might be severely injured.
Then, with a flicker, he swiftly executed Shift Form and Shadow, easily evading the old man’s strike. His speed was not inferior to the old man’s, leaving the latter stunned, his face full of astonishnt.
Seeing the old man’s shocked expression, Chu Linfeng laughed: "Old fellow, are you hitting or not? If afraid, step aside and don’t block my path."
The old man soon regained composure and said: "If you don’t enter the tower, I’ll spare your life. This is for your own good, don’t be ungrateful!"
"Let’s have a fight first, then talk! Let’s see whether you qualify to say that!" Imdiately, Chu Linfeng unleashed a Demon-Breaking Fist swiftly towards the old man.
"Overestimating yourself!" The old man roared with anger and quickly punched back. Their fists collided with a thunderous sound, each retreating several ters afterward. The old man’s face darkened; the blow contained Five Elents and Thunder Elent, its destructive power beyond his imagination.
At that mont, his arm felt numb, an unbearable pain persisted, preventing him from lifting it. Chu Linfeng rely felt a faint soreness in his fist.
"Indeed, the defense has dropped. The current defense at best resembles the Fifth Layer of Star Body, seemingly lowering by two levels." Chu Linfeng thought.
At this mont, the old man asked in astonishnt: "Boy, who are you? Why is your attack power so formidable? Have your powers not been sealed?"
"Old fellow, my powers are sealed too. Since daring to co here, naturally I possess adequate powers. You think I’m a fool? Here is indeed a land of death, the Netherworld’s most terrifying place, where the harsh environnt alone can kill many.
Currently unable to break the tower’s Fourth Layer restriction, I wish to try, you truly think I stumbled in by accident? I ca deliberately!" Chu Linfeng said.
"Boy, you seem to know quite a bit about Death Tower Land. How do you know?" The old man asked, puzzled, looking at Chu Linfeng.
"Not fighting?" Chu Linfeng asked, not answering the old man’s query.
"Not fighting. You’re a monster; regardless of age, your attack and defense are heaven-defyingly lethal. You still haven’t answered my question!" The old man said.
"Answering is simple; just tell the actual situation within the tower, and if possible, I’ll take you to the Fourth Layer!" Chu Linfeng smiled...
