The black jade erupted with dazzling light, enveloping Zhao Wenxu. The immense force in the surrounding space was dissolved, and Zhao Wenxu's figure flickered as he fled into the distance with the black jade's power.
At that moment, Zhao Wenxu had the black jade's power release slowly, rather than erupting all at once as it had inside the formation.
This way, although the black jade's power would weaken by a great deal, its duration could be extended enormously.
Zhao Wenxu felt somewhat regretful now. When he had first unleashed the black jade's power, he should have released it directly at Chen Fei.
The main reason was that at the time, Zhao Wenxu's estimate of the black jade's power was only that of the Ninth-Order Peak. At most, it would be able to dissolve most of the other party's defenses.
This understanding was something Zhao Wenxu had formed after carefully pondering the black jade's power over so many years. Zhao Wenxu had never truly used the black jade in actual combat.
And while he feared the power of other Ninth-Order Peak experts, he had also unconsciously exaggerated it in his mind.
Thus, Zhao Wenxu had not thought just now that after the black jade pierced through the Black Tortoise Grand Formation, it could still cause Chen Fei any harm. He had not even been certain whether it could pierce through the Black Tortoise Grand Formation at all.
