Lin Xinghe concealed herself within the dense tree canopy, her gaze locked on Chen Feng in the clearing below. He was fully engrossed in studying the Sword Array before him, his fingers dancing in the air as he seemed to simulate the trajectory of the Sword Qi. The complexity of the Sword Array far surpassed the one Lin Xinghe had previously dismantled; the Sword Qi crisscrossed like a frenzy of silver snakes, faintly exuding a murderous aura.
Fine beads of sweat seeped onto Lin Feng's forehead, and his complexion grew increasingly pale. He tried again and again, yet consistently failed to find the correct method to break it. The frustration of failure was laid bare in his clenched teeth and slightly ferocious expression. Lin Xinghe noticed that the gleam flashing in Lin Feng's eyes was not entirely a thirst for knowledge; it was mixed with an indescribable greed and ambition, which made alarm bells ring in her heart.
What secret was hidden within this Sword Array, after all, that could make Chen Feng so persistent, even willing to expose his own weaknesses? Lin Xinghe decided she would no longer stand by and watch. She leaped silently down from the tree, landing not far from the Sword Array.
