Of course, the man had not intended merely to tell the two of them all this, but Su Jiu's interruption still made him radiate a trace of displeasure.
He turned his divine sense back onto Su Jiu. "A genius blessed by heaven, with the bearing of a celestial being indeed. At this moment, I don't know whether to call you clever or stupid. Are you so eager to seek death?"
Su Jiu moved her fingers, only to discover that she could no longer mobilize the spiritual qi within her.
The man suddenly laughed. "Did you think I didn't know you were laying a formation while I was talking to the boy? What do you think could escape my perception within the barrier I established?"
Su Jiu's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
"You two little ones were too impatient after all. You knew there was a tiger on the mountain, yet insisted on heading straight for it. Are you so confident in your strength? Still, you both do have reason to be proud. Unfortunately, you ran into me."
Su Jiu gradually felt the oppressive weight bearing down on her divine sense.
She quickly sent Chu Luohen a voice transmission. "This man is at least at the Spirit Transformation Stage."
"I know," Chu Luohen replied calmly. He had sensed it as soon as they approached the barrier. That was why his perception had seemed to awaken earlier, sending a chill through his entire body.
Su Jiu pressed her lips together and glanced at the pond, considering over and over that if they lost this chance today, tomorrow might already be too late.
Still, without Qi Song, this man's attempt to defy heaven and change his fate might not necessarily succeed.
Just then, the door slowly opened, and a man emerged.
