My Sexy CEO Wife

Gao Fei wished he could slap himself. What was he thinking, letting his mind wander at a time like this? He must be tired of living!

That was perilously close! He nearly got his head blown off!

He had skirted death, almost heading straight for the Underworld to report in!

For the next stretch of time, Gao Fei focused all his energy on following Duanmu Hong, moving closer to the Formation.

Duanmu Hong, as a Great Cultivator from ancient times, was truly a master of countless profound and mystical techniques. The dreadful rays of light were powerless against her; sensing Duanmu Hong's threat, the Formation grew violent, shooting out even more rays.

"Eh?" Gao Fei suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Duanmu Hong asked without turning back.

"I feel a kind of... a very unusual aura... from these rays of light…" Gao Fei hesitated, "It's somewhat like… death Qi... Yes, that's it, death Qi…"

"You're only noticing now?" Duanmu Hong curled her lip: "I detected the death Qi within these rays of light a long time ago."

"So the senior had already discovered it…" Gao Fei looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Once we break the Formation, we can find out the origin of the rays," Duanmu Hong said as she continued to advance, her hands moving up and down, swatting away ray after ray: "Watch out! We're getting close to the Formation! Get ready to attack!"

"Alright." Gao Fei nodded.

After the time it took an incense stick to burn, Duanmu Hong and Gao Fei finally arrived in front of the Formation.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

The rays launched a frenzied attack on Duanmu Hong and Gao Fei. Duanmu Hong shielded Gao Fei and shouted: "Hurry up! I can't hold on much longer!" It was already her limit to have lasted this long. To fend off the assault of the rays, she had used many trump cards and expended a great deal of True Qi. She could hang on for at most half an hour more.

"Li Fire, come forth!" Gao Fei spat out a clump of cyan flame: "Burn! Burn fiercely!!!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…"

The Li Fire surged towards and latched onto the Formation, starting to burn wildly. "Sizzle, sizzle..." The surface of the Formation emitted tendrils of white smoke and soon, a small hole was scorched through it, but it quickly healed itself.

"Damn! This Formation has a strong self-healing capability!" Gao Fei cursed: "What should I do now! Drug-absorbing Bugs, come out!" With only the power of the Li Fire proving insufficient to break the Formation quickly, Gao Fei released the Drug-absorbing Bugs and pointed at the Formation opposite him: "Bite! Bite fiercely!!!"

"Buzz buzz buzz…"

Hundreds of Drug-absorbing Bugs swarmed over and began to furiously bite the Formation. "Pop pschht pop pschht…" In the blink of an eye, the Formation's surface was bitten into hundreds of tiny holes, but it too quickly healed itself.

"What kind of Formation is this, with such a strong self-healing ability?"

"Neither the Li Fire nor the Drug-absorbing Bugs are slacking, yet they still can't break the Formation!"

"The main issue is the Formation's incredibly strong self-healing ability!"

There was no doubting the destructive power of the Li Fire and Drug-absorbing Bugs; there were few Formations that could withstand their onslaught, but the one they faced now was confounding both the Li Fire and the Drug-absorbing Bugs.

"Gao Fei, speed up! I can hardly hold on any longer!" Duanmu Hong called out urgently.

Gao Fei's complexion grew uglier and uglier. What to do? What should he do? Li Fire and the Drug-absorbing Bug simply couldn't break through the Formation... Was he to return without accomplishing anything?

There was still one last move, the Divine Power: Sky-Raging Palm!

He believed that with the terrifying might of the Sky-Raging Palm, he could significantly damage the Formation. Then, seizing the opportunity, Li Fire and the Drug-absorbing Bug could break the Formation in one fell swoop. However, by doing so, Gao Fei might face danger. The Sky-Raging Palm was indeed powerful, but it required a significant amount of True Qi. Once the True Qi was exhausted, Gao Fei would lose his self-protective ability, and by then... it was very likely he would die under the barrage of light.

No matter!

He had to take the risk!

May luck be on his side!

Just as Gao Fei was preparing to recklessly use the Divine Power: Fury Sky Palm, his expression suddenly changed, and he threw out an item - the Thousand Transformations Stone! Just now, the Thousand Transformations Stone had violently thrashed about inside the Storage Ring, as if it wanted to come out.

Gao Fei was puzzled. Since acquiring the Thousand Transformations Stone, it had never acted up like this before. What could be the reason?

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to let the Thousand Transformations Stone out.

"Whoosh!"

The Thousand Transformations Stone suddenly shrank and then transformed into a thin sheet of white paper. This white paper rose into the air, then gently floated down and finally landed on the Formation, "Boom!!!" The Formation burst with light and shook violently.

"What is this..."

Gao Fei's eyes widened in disbelief and incredulity. My God! What am I seeing? This can't be right! The white paper that the Thousand Transformations Stone turned into was actually... furiously absorbing the Formation's energy, that's right, it was absorbing the energy of the Formation. The white paper quickly underwent a change; it had been clean before, without a speck of dust or a single character, but now... bright, dazzling lines of light appeared on the paper's surface. These lines moved slowly across the paper, and over time, the number of lines increased substantially. Moments later, the surface of the paper was filled with lines, too many to contain, and then the lines began to gather on the back of the paper.

Soon, the back of the paper, too, was filled with lines.

The white paper continued its frantic absorption of the Formation's energy. The paper slowly expanded in size, ballooning as perhaps the better description, as it swelled bit by bit, looking like a flattened balloon.

As the energy was lost, the power of the Formation began to fall, and the emitted light rays became fewer and fewer.

"What a marvelous item!" Duanmu Hong's eyes sparkled, "Give it your all! Aim to break the Formation in one go!" Clearly, she had developed a keen interest in the white paper. To speak frankly, Duanmu Hong had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and had seen innumerable treasures, very few of which ever aroused her interest.

Now at the crucial moment of breaking the Formation, Duanmu Hong could not afford to be distracted. Thus, she secretly decided that after the Formation was broken, she would take the white paper for a closer examination to see what kind of treasure it was.

In his heart, Gao Fei inwardly groaned. To break the Formation, he had had no choice but to bring out the Thousand Transformations Stone. Because it performed too well, it attracted Duanmu Hong's notice. If Duanmu Hong developed covetous thoughts, the trouble would be immense. His Ancestor had long ago said that one should not display wealth, or it would certainly bring about deadly disaster!

Right now, Gao Fei had made a rudimentary mistake; he shouldn't have taken out the Thousand Transformations Stone in front of Duanmu Hong! Forget it, no point in thinking about it now, since it has already happened. Whatever will be, will be! If Duanmu Hong tried to take the Thousand Transformations Stone by force, Gao Fei would definitely fight desperately to protect it. He let out a soft breath and murmured inwardly, "Let's just hope it doesn't come to that!"

"Pop!"

A crack opened on the side of the white paper, and this time the Formation couldn't heal itself in time, mainly because the Formation had lost too much energy, seriously affecting its self-healing capability.

"There's a chance!" Gao Fei silently nodded to himself, "The self-healing abilities of the Formation have dropped significantly; there's hope for breaking it now." However, just as Gao Fei was silently rejoicing, something unexpected happened...
