Chapter 135: Eternal Moment
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chen Fei narrowed his eyes and took a few steps back. The figure did not chase after him, and Chen Fei felt slightly relieved. After going around for dozens of meters, Chen Fei continued to advance. However, he immediately stopped.
Another figure appeared in front of them. It was exactly the same as the figure they had met earlier. Clearly, Chen Fei and the other man were being targeted.
This time, Chen Fei observed carefully. There seemed to be something on his back. The outline looked familiar.
He could not avoid it at all.
Chen Fei licked his lips and glanced at the Heart Candle in his hand. He raised his head and looked at the figure. His eyes widened slightly, and he suddenly rushed over.
The distance of ten meters was covered in the blink of an eye. Chen Fei finally saw the appearance of the figure in front of him. Chen Fei’s pupils constricted slightly.
The figure in front of him looked like Chen Fei. Not only was Chen Fei there, but Si Yinan was also on his back. However, unlike Chen Fei, Si Yinan was staring straight at Chen Fei.
When Chen Fei and Si Yinan saw Chen Fei, their wooden faces suddenly blossomed with smiles.
The smiles of the two people opposite him were different from the smiles of ordinary people. It was as if they were fabricated. At first glance, it was obvious that they were fake, but at the same time, it was fake enough to make people panic. It was like a paper figurine.
“Break!”
With a low shout, Eternity Moment smashed into the two shadows opposite him. The two shadows suddenly stopped moving, and their raised arms froze in mid-air.
Chen Fei did not hesitate and ran past the two shadows.
The eyes of the two shadows struggled to look at Chen Fei, but their bodies were frozen there and could not move. They could only watch as Chen Fei quickly escaped from there. There was nothing they could do.
Chen Fei ran quickly. After a moment, he left the area covered by the black fog. The feeling of a knife on his back slowly disappeared.
Chen Fei ran for a distance and turned back to look at the black fog behind him. There seemed to be a figure standing quietly there, looking at Chen Fei from afar.
Chen Fei frowned slightly. It was good that it didn’t chase after them.
Chen Fei lowered his head to check on the Heart Candle and communicated with Si Yinan. The Heart Candle should still be enough to find Si Yuanhai.
Chen Fei didn’t delay and started running forward. At the same time, he tried to draw in the candlelight of the Heart Candle.
After a few attempts, the candlelight was actually retracted by Chen Fei, only sticking to their bodies.
Although the murmurs around them became louder, the burning speed of the candlelight decreased.
This was what Chen Fei had discovered when he passed through the black fog earlier. Now that he had tried it, it actually worked. If this were in the real world, it would be a fantasy. However, it was actually established in the Strange Heart Realm.
If he had discovered this from the moment he entered the Strange Heart Realm, most likely, there would still be more than half of the Heart Candle left.
But unfortunately, this was Chen Fei’s first time here, and Si Yinan knew little about this world.
Si Yinan also looked curiously at the change in the candlelight. Sensing that the burning speed of the Heart Candle had decreased, Si Yinan couldn’t help but smile. This way, the possibility of finding her grandfather became higher.
It was as if the strange experience they had just encountered had exhausted their bad luck. For the rest of the journey, Chen Fei only sensed danger in other places. The path they were on was unimpeded.
The only thing was that because the candlelight had dimmed, the influence of the environment had increased, and Si Yinan’s condition had become extremely bad.
In the end, she was just a ten-year-old child. Although her combat strength surpassed ordinary people due to her special physique, it was still very difficult for her to resist the invasion that constantly surrounded her ears.
Chen Fei was much better off. The perfection of the Tranquil Origin Technique had allowed Chen Fei’s mental strength to surpass that of ordinary Marrow Tempering realm martial artists. Even those practitioners in the Visceral Tempering realm had to compete to determine who was better.
As time passed, the Tranquil Origin Technique would continue to increase Chen Fei’s mental strength, just like how inner strength cultivation techniques increased inner strength.
Suddenly, Si Yinan grabbed the clothes on Chen Fei’s shoulders. Chen Fei turned his head in confusion.
“Grandpa’s soul is being dragged away.” Si Yinan mouthed nervously.
Chen Fei frowned slightly. From the moment he entered the Strange Heart Realm, Si Yuanhai’s soul had always been in a fixed position. Why was it suddenly dragged away?
“Maybe it’s because of it.”
Si Yinan raised the thumb ring in his hand. They had always relied on this thumb ring to determine Si Yuanhai’s location.
“The evil in Grandpa’s body has been with Grandpa for too long. Whether it’s Grandpa’s soul or this ring, there’s a weak connection. That evil must have sensed that the ring was approaching, so it instinctively moved away.” Si Yinan mouthed anxiously.
Chen Fei nodded slightly. He looked at the thumb ring and thought for a moment. Then, he took out the Heart Pearl fragment from his sleeve and wrapped the thumb ring with a relatively large fragment.
The Heart Pearl’s function was to seal. Now that it was broken, Chen Fei did not know how much of this sealing ability was left.
It stopped.”
Si Yinan looked at the broken piece of fragment on the thumb ring in disbelief. As soon as the broken piece was applied, Si Yuanhai’s soul, which was moving quickly, suddenly stopped.
In other words, the evil thing had lost its connection to the ring, so it instinctively stopped.
Chen Fei smiled and was about to continue running forward when his expression suddenly changed. Not only Chen Fei but Si Yinan’s expression also changed.
Si Yinan looked into the distance with a pained expression. She was so close. Why did it have to be like this? She had already gone through so many dangers.
Chen Fei sighed helplessly. In the next moment, the two of them disappeared from the Strange Heart Realm.
Just a moment ago, their bodies had sensed danger. This was an alarm from the array in the courtyard. Moreover, this sense of danger continued to increase. Clearly, it was not an easy task.
In the courtyard of the Immortal Cloud City, Chen Fei opened his eyes and held his sword in his hand. At this moment, Chen Fei could already hear the sound of footsteps in the courtyard.
“Senior Brother, why are you doing this? We came from the same sect. My talent is better than yours, and I learn things faster than you. However, the other senior brothers and sisters, even the master, like you more.”
A voice came from outside the courtyard. A few figures walked over step by step. It was like a hammer that hammered on one’s heart, making one’s chest swell and feel unbearable pain.
“Master said that my heart is not right and punished me to go to the back mountain to reflect on my mistakes. But what did 1 do wrong? I just wanted to cultivate faster. Ordinary people are like ants. It’s their blessing to be able to help me cultivate,”
Yan Dequan said slowly. One was seriously injured, while the other was a child who was not even ten years old. Today, he could finally get back everything he had lost.
“Senior brother, I didn’t want to kill you. We’re fellow disciples, how could I do such a decisive thing? As long as you teach me the secret technique of your sect, I will turn around and leave. In the future, you and I will mind our own business, and you can go back to your original life. How about it?”
“It’s him, Grandpa’s enemy!”
Si Yinan fell to the ground. There was nothing left. She had lost her third chance and couldn’t pull her grandfather’s soul out of the Strange Heart Realm. Now that the enemy who had injured his grandfather had caught up, everything was over.
“Brother Chen, leave quickly.”
Si Yinan suddenly looked up at Chen Fei. Her grandfather couldn’t be saved, but Si Yinan was no longer afraid. She wanted drag Yan Dequan with her to their deaths! However, Si Yinan couldn’t drag Chen Fei down anymore. Entering the Strange Heart Realm was already troubling Chen Fei too much.
“Don’t give up until the last moment!”
Chen Fei looked at Si Yinan and pointed at Si Yuanhai on the bed. “Take Senior
Si away first. 1’11 stop them. We’ll meet up later!”
“But…”
“No buts. Go!” Chen Fei glared at her, and Si Yinan swallowed her words.
“Yes, never give up until the last moment. Grandpa used to teach me this. There must be a way, there must be a way to bring Grandpa back from the Strange Heart Realm.”
Si Yinan glanced at Chen Fei. Si Yinan didn’t say out loud what he had done for her, but she remembered it in her heart. She would never forget this kindness!
Si Yinan stepped forward and carried Si Yuanhai on her back. Fortunately, Si Yinan looked like he was 20 years old and could easily carry Si Yuanhai on her back.
“You want to leave? Senior Brother, why are you doing this?”
Yan Dequan sensed the change in the room, and his voice turned cold. The next moment, a cunning hand appeared in front of Si Yinan and grabbed her face.
“Clang!”
A sword and shield appeared in front of the Sly Hand. The Sly Hand trembled slightly and was pushed back by the rebound force. Then, it dissipated.
Starry Night Sword and Thorn Sword! The two combined to create a reflective shield, which shattered the Sly Hand.
“Let’s go!”
Chen Fei came to the wall and kicked a big hole in it. Si Yinan quickly carried Si Yuanhai and ran outside.
“STOP!”
Yan Dequan’s voice didn’t carry the slightest bit of emotion, or perhaps he was someone who didn’t have much emotion. The persuasion just now seemed to be more of an act.
“Boom!”
More than ten Sly Hands appeared, and the entire house was flattened. Yan Dequan also saw the situation inside the house clearly.
Yan Dequan glanced at Chen Fei before turning to look at Si Yinan and Si Yuanhai. Seeing that Si Yuanhai was unconscious, Yan Dequan’s brows twitched slightly, but he did not show any mercy. More than ten Sly Hands flashed and grabbed at Si Yinan and Si Yuanhai.
Before the Sly Hands could get close to Si Yinan, Chen Feiwu brandished his long sword. His sword and shield flashed, blocking the dozens of Sly Hands. The Sly Hands immediately dissipated, and Yan Dequan’s expression darkened.
“Who are you? This is an internal matter of our sect and has nothing to do with you.” Yan Dequan looked at Chen Fei with a cold gaze, his words threatening.
Let’s go!”
Chen Fei saw that Si Yinan was still standing there foolishly and couldn’t help but shout. Si Yinan seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly ran towards the alley.
“Chase after them!”
Yan Dequan saw that his threat was ineffective and shouted at the disciples behind him.
“Yes, sir!”
Yan Dequan’s two disciples flashed, but in just a few moments, they fell to the ground, crying loudly. One of them had lost an arm, while the other had a hole in his thigh.
Just now, if the two of them hadn’t been cautious enough to use the evil to protect their vital points, and if Yan Dequan hadn’t used the Sly Hand to sneak attack Chen Fei, the two of them probably wouldn’t have suffered such simple injuries.
Chen Fei’s figure flickered and returned to his original spot. The sword in his hand was pointed diagonally at the ground as he looked at Yan Dequan..
