Chapter 775: Chapter 772: Thoughts Guessed Once Again
Huang Feihu’s face was ashen and he did not respond, just looked at the imposing Golden Flying Dragon outside the barrier, with a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.
According to common logic, Xiao Tian, who fell into Huang Feihu’s trap, should have instantly cut off all contact with everything outside the barrier. Without the maintenance of True Qi, the Golden Flying Dragon would be expected to dissipate normally.
But now, it seems obvious that Xiao Tian’s Iron Chain Cross River is not an easy opponent. Although he is inevitably trapped in Huang Feihu’s True Qi Cage, the connection with the Golden Flying Dragon is evidently unaffected.
"It seems you do have some skills!" Huang Feihu praised, looking at the dozen or so experts who had come together to fight the dragon.
In fact, Huang Feihu’s idea was straightforward—control the crisis within a manageable range. You can’t see anything so far, but if the other side really gets desperate and starts demolishing Huang Family’s house, it would be a big joke!
Therefore, it was absolutely necessary to trap Xiao Tian in his cage.
"Whether I have skills is not up for others to evaluate!" Xiao Tian replied indifferently, "But I’m very curious, using such a place as confinement tactic, can you handle using two at once?!"
"Whether I can handle it is my own concern, how does it relate to you?!" Huang Feihu snorted coldly, "You better watch yourself!"
Having finished speaking, Huang Feihu suddenly side-slanted his giant sword and shouted, "Face your death!"
Seeing Huang Feihu erupt suddenly within just a few meters, including the length of the giant sword, Xiao Tian solemnly swung his chain to the tip of the opponent’s giant sword.
After another loud "clang", Xiao Tian instantly felt a blackness before his eyes, and his ears seemed to hear a thousand gongs and drums ringing simultaneously, leaving him momentarily caught off guard.
However, from outside the barrier, no one showed any reaction.
This scene made Xiao Tian realize something was amiss, so he carefully examined the surrounding barrier. It now seemed the issue lay within, this damn barrier was blocking all momentum, forcing everything to erupt inside.
In other words, even if Huang Feihu used explosives here, the power would remain concentrated in this tight space as long as the barrier could withstand it, sweeping everything inside.
The same was true for Xiao Tian, and Huang Feihu wasn’t much better off. Despite being prepared, he inevitably experienced a fleeting disorientation.
And in that moment of disorientation, Huang Feihu did not notice that as the giant sword and chain collided, the blue flame attached itself and spread over the surface of the sword.
"Ah..."
Feeling the burn, Huang Feihu instinctively released the giant sword, and when he realized what happened, he saw Xiao Tian already approaching.
With both hands gripping the chain, Xiao Tian sees Huang Feihu attempt to fend him off, swiftly spins using his shoulder to push forward, locking Huang Feihu’s forearms, then decisively performs an over-the-shoulder throw.
With eyes wide open, Huang Feihu frantically sought footing in mid-air, and although he landed without directly falling, he couldn’t help but stagger back several steps, crashing into the True Qi Cage set up by himself.
Outside the barrier, Huang Qisheng watched Huang Feihu, who had lost his weapon, rely solely on fists and palms for defense and counterattack, his heart growing increasingly anxious as he rushed to a secluded corner, trying to summon the Guardian God-like Elder.
After a few rounds with Huang Feihu, Xiao Tian realized that something was off. The True Qi emitted from the opponent and produced by himself didn’t just dissipate into the world; instead, it stirred within this space.
Moreover, as the battle intensified, a True Qi storm-like phenomenon subtly emerged around them, beginning to swirl and rage within this space as a neutral "third-party" existence.
Xiao Tian had never encountered such a situation before. However, the True Qi storm wasn’t targeting him alone, and although Huang Feihu was strong, maintaining two True Qi Cages limited his performance to about seventy or eighty percent of his capacity.
Xiao Tian was confident that it wouldn’t be long before this battle concluded.
...
However, after a while of fierce combat, the battle persisted, and Xiao Tian still held the upper hand, leaving Huang Feihu utterly defenseless!
Just as this advantage neared its peak and the battle was about to end, Xiao Tian suddenly stopped, his face looking rather grim.
From the start of the battle up until now, Xiao Tian had smoothly seized control of the battle’s momentum and pace.
If this were solely the case, it wouldn’t be enough to arouse suspicion, for Huang Feihu’s miscalculation in simultaneously maintaining two True Qi Cages, resulting in massive True Qi loss, could be a plausible explanation.
But as the battle drew to a close, Xiao Tian’s mind grew more perplexed, his brows furrowed tightly...
"Finally sense something’s amiss?!"
Huang Feihu suddenly spoke, his tone shedding previous defensiveness. His initially flustered and pale face regained normalcy, with a smile half mocking and half joyful.
"So from the start, you were deliberately feigning weakness," Xiao Tian said coldly. "You’ve really gone to great lengths!"
"Haha, exactly!" Huang Feihu laughed heartily before saying, "Pity, you realized too slowly!"
As he circulated his Inner Strength to calm somewhat chaotic True Qi, Huang Feihu continued, "Given your age, to possess such meticulous character and strong ability is indeed worthy of my admiration!"
"After all, at your age, I was far behind you!"
Xiao Tian’s gaze changed, then he couldn’t help but chuckle, "Are you going to boast next, claiming that despite my genius, powerful abilities, and cunning tricks, I ultimately fell to your hand?"
With a hint of sarcasm, Xiao Tian added, "Does a truly formidable person need to raise themselves by borrowing someone else? Spare me, everyone could predict what you’re about to say, even a three-year-old could guess!"
"You!"
The True Qi that Huang Feihu had barely managed to calm instantly threatened to become chaotic again upon hearing Xiao Tian’s words, his face began to flush red.
The feeling of being exposed before even managing to show off truly left Huang Feihu wanting to vanish into thin air.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Feihu suppressed his anger, fortunate that this space was completely isolated from the outside world, so no one heard their conversation. Otherwise, if this spread, it would be a significant blow to his prestige as Patriarch, which would inevitably suffer.
Looking at the calm and composed Xiao Tian, Huang Feihu seemed to see eight characters...
