“Bang!”
Shen Dingyan’s palm hit the windowsill, shattering it instantly and sending splinters everywhere.
The manager of the Drunken Immortal Resturant heard the commotion and hurried over. However, when he saw the clothes of the Shen Dingyan Immortal Cloud Sword Sect disciples, he quickly retreated.
The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was the true overlord in the surrounding areas of Immortal Cloud City, and its disciples naturally enjoyed all kinds of privileges.
If it was someone else who had destroyed something in a restaurant like this, they would definitely demand compensation. However, when facing the disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, it was entirely up to the other party’s mood.
“You dodged quite quickly.”
Shen Dingyan retracted his hand as if nothing had happened. He looked down at Chen Fei and said, “Do you still remember me?”
Chen Fei saw Shen Dingyan’s attire at a glance. They were from the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. He then looked at Shen Dingyan’s face and recognized him as the person he had met on the road a few days ago.
He didn’t expect that after so many days, the other party would still hold on to this matter.
“I’m asking you a question. Didn’t you hear me?”
Xu Yuanchun sized up Chen Fei from head to toe. Seeing that he was actually only at the Bone Tempering realm despite his age, he could not help but curl his lips in disdain.
Xu Yuanchun was also in the Bone Tempering realm, but he was only in his teens this year. If he really reached Chen Fei’s age, he would probably have already reached the Visceral Tempering realm. No matter how one looked at it, Chen Fei’s aptitude was an inferior existence.
“I have no obligation to help others when they are fighting.” Chen Fei stood up and frowned.
“Looks like you remember.”
Shen Dingyan stared at Chen Fei, then suddenly slammed his palm on the table and shouted, “I was capturing a member of the Divine Flame Sect. You saw it, but you pretended not to see it and turned around to leave, causing that disciple to escape. I think you must be involved with the people from the Divine Flame Sect, that’s why you’re like this!”
“Senior Brother Shen is right. Otherwise, why would he turn a blind eye to the people of the Divine Flame Sect?” Xu Yuanchun said loudly.
When the players who were standing far away heard the conversation between Shen Dingyan and the other two, they suddenly realized what was going on and started discussing.
The Divine Flame Sect was an evil sect in the Immortal Cloud City, and everyone hated it. This disciple of the Primordial Sword Sect actually turned around and left after seeing this. It was indeed a little inappropriate.
“I didn’t know that he was a disciple of the Divine Flame Sect, and you didn’t say anything about it either.” Chen Fei shook his head.
“Are you saying that I’m framing you?” Shen Dingyan laughed softly, his eyes filled with malice.
“I still have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Chen Fei looked at the two of them and turned around to leave. He was already restraining himself. If he continued, there would be no result.
“Did I let you go?!”
Shen Dingyan suddenly grabbed at Chen Fei’s neck. Chen Fei clenched his fist and finally released it. His figure flashed and dodged Shen Dingyan’s grab.
“We’re not done. Do you want to run away with a guilty conscience?” Xu Yuanchun blocked the stairway.
“What do you want!” Chen Fei stared at Shen Dingyan.
“What do I want?”
Shen Dingyan laughed out loud and pointed at Chen Fei, “I suspect that you are a spy from the Divine Flame Sect, hiding in the Primordial Sword Sect. Follow me now, or don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Surrender!” Xu Yuanchun shouted,
Chen Fei did not say anything else. He looked at the window beside him and leaned forward. Shen Dingyan subconsciously reached out to stop him, but he realized that Chen Fei had already jumped down from another window.
“He’s from the Divine Flame Sect, kill him!”
Shen Dingyan shouted and stepped back with his right foot. He disappeared from the spot and followed closely behind Chen Fei.
Xu Yuanchun hurriedly followed, but after a short moment, he had no choice but to stop. He looked at his senior brother and Chen Fei from afar, disappearing from his sight.
“Instead of improving your cultivation, you’re actually spending your energy on your movement technique.”
Seeing that he couldn’t keep up, Xu Yuanchun said somewhat fiercely.
Xu Yuanchun didn’t go anywhere else and returned to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant to wait for Shen Dingyan’s return.
As far as Xu Yuanchun was concerned, Shen Dingyan wanting to capture Chen Fei was merely a matter of a moment’s effort. Even if Chen Fei’s movement technique was extraordinary, the outcome would not change.
On the roof, Chen Fei’s feet would occasionally tap on the tiles. His entire person was like a big bird, gliding and leaping forward.
He had already used the Soul Chasing Step to the extreme, but he was unable to shake off Shen Dingyan. Chen Fei turned around to take a look. The distance between him and Shen Dingyan was actually slowly shrinking.
Chen Fei frowned. His movement technique could be said to be an outstanding existence among the Marrow Tempering realm disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect.
Chen Fei could even compare to those at the Visceral Tempering realm.
However, any Marrow Tempering realm disciple from the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect could faintly surpass him in terms of movement techniques. Although it was mainly due to cultivation that Chen Fei was unable to display the profundity of his movement techniques fully, he could tell the prowess of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.
Chen Fei had witnessed the power of the Divine Flame Sect. It was such a sect, but they only dared to hide, afraid that the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect would catch them.
“You can’t escape!”
Shen Dingyan was at the back, staring at Chen Fei. The distance between the two of them had shortened from fifty to sixty meters to less than twenty meters.
Fleetfoot!
The force flowed between Chen Fei’s feet in a strange way.
Chen Fei’s body suddenly became light, and then he dashed out. Compared to before, he was several times faster.
“Is this what you rely on?”
Shen Dingyan laughed out loud. His feet swelled up slightly, and the tiles under his feet shattered. Shen Dingyan did not fall behind, and he was still snapping at Chen Fei’s heels.
Chen Fei sensed the aura behind him, and his expression was solemn. The movement technique that had always been successful in the past was finally not so useful now.
Chen Fei wanted to take out his bow and arrow, but with Shen Dingyan’s current movement technique, the arrow would not be able to stop him.
Chen Fei landed on the ground from the roof and dashed out of the city gate. Shen Dingyan followed closely behind.
The distance between the two continued to close. After a quarter of an hour, Chen Fei’s speed suddenly decreased. Shen Dingyan jumped over Chen Fei and blocked his path. Chen Fei had no choice but to stop.
“Go on, run, why aren’t you running anymore?” Shen Dingyan looked down at Chen Fei, the malice in his eyes unconcealed.
“We don’t have that much enmity between us.” Chen Fei took a deep breath and looked at Shen Dingyan.
“Whether or not there’s enmity, it’s up to me to decide, not you!”
Shen Dingyan laughed loudly and pointed at Chen Fei with his index finger. He said mockingly, “Just now in the restaurant if you had let me hit you a few times, I would’ve let this matter go after I’d vent my anger. You actually dared to dodge and even dared to run in the end. Since you’ve done these things, you have to pay the price, understand?”
Chen Fei did not say anything else. He raised the sword in his hand and stared at Shen Dingyan.
“You still want to resist? Hahaha, then I’ll let you see how big the gap between us is!”
Shen Dingyan laughed maniacally. The blade in his hand moved, and a thunderclap sounded. Shen Dingyan’s sword had already arrived in front of Chen Fei.
When the thunder sounded, Chen Fei’s mind suddenly went blank. However, he immediately activated the Tranquil Origin Technique and recovered in an instant.
The Starry Night Sword and Shield spread out, and the sword light formed a sword shield in front of Shen Dingyan.
“Bang!”
With a muffled sound, Chen Fei slid back a few steps before stabilizing his body. The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, and traces of electricity actually circulated on the blade for a moment before dissipating.
Thunderbolt Sword!
Chen Fei had heard of this technique in Pingyin County back then, and he had even learned the Astonishing Symbol Art. Chen Fei did not expect that he would witness the complete version of the Thunderbolt Sword under such circumstances.
A thunderbolt pierced through the long river. How majestic and domineering was it?
If it wasn’t for the Tranquil Origin Technique or the Starry Night Sword Shield, Chen Fei would have died from that sword attack. If it were any other sect’s Marrow ™emperingrealm cultivator, they would probably only die.
“Not bad. It seems that the disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect aren’t completely useless.”
Shen Dingyan’s eyes lit up when he saw Chen Fei block his sword. The Starry Night Sword and Shield were especially stunning. However, it was just stunning.
If Chen Fei’s cultivation had reached the Marrow Tempering realm, he might have had a chance of escaping. However, it was impossible for a mere Bone Tempering realm martial artist to escape his grasp.
“Boom!
Another thunderous sound rang out. So loud it could deter the demons and monsters. Shen Dingyan’s longsword glowed with a faint blue light as he unleashed his sword form and enveloped Chen Fei within it.
Tremendous Strength!
Chen Fei’s body expanded slightly, and a surge of power rose within his body. The Starry Night Sword shield began to cover his entire body, blocking all of Shen Dingyan’s sword moves.
However, after only ten moves, Chen Fei’s figure involuntarily retreated.
Chen Fei was immune to the Thunderbolt Sword and the sound of thunder, but the thunderbolt force in the blade made Chen Fei’s body somewhat unable to withstand it.
Although Chen Fei could block some of the attacks due to Tremendous Strength, the penetration and paralysis of the lightning force was gradually devouring Chen Fei’s agility.
After another ten moves, Chen Fei’s muscles would stiffen, causing him to be unable to use the Starry Night Sword normally. At that time, Chen Fei would end up with Shen Dingyan slashing his head with his sword.
“The Turtle Sword is not bad, but how many more of my swords can you block?”
Shen Dingyan looked at Chen Fei with a sneer. The sword force had already gathered in Chen Fei’s body. In a moment, it would explode naturally. At that time, Chen Fei’s life and death would be in his hands.
A mere Bone Tempering realm artist. One from the Primordial Sword Sect no less, actually dared to extend his claws at him. He was simply foolish to the extreme.
Five moves, six moves, seven moves!
Chen Fei felt his body stiffen. In two more moves, the Starry Night Sword would start to crack.
Shen Dingyan’s face was already filled with a sinister smile, but the longsword in his hand was still steady, without the slightest impatience or aggression.
Blind! Deaf!
The jade pendant in Chen Fei’s arms suddenly lit up. Just as Shen Dingyan was about to use his sword move, his vision suddenly turned dark. At the same time, he could not hear any sound. The entire world seemed to have abandoned him.
Shen Dingyan’s originally steady sword move suddenly became a little chaotic, just like Shen Dingyan’s heart.
Tranquil Origin Technique!
The entire world suddenly stopped. Chen Fei looked at Shen Dingyan’s sword move and saw a gap.
Sword Six!
Chen Fei’s shoes split, and the force was transmitted to Chen Fei’s long sword from below. His skin was cracking, revealing his blood-red muscles. Countless blood spots seeped out from his pores.
Chen Fei’s long sword burst out with a dazzling light. It knocked away Shen Dingyan’s sword attack and stabbed into Shen Dingyan’s chest.
Boom!
The ground behind Shen Dingyan was blasted into a deep pit. Chen Fei slowly withdrew the sword in his hand..
