Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Cut the Blue Soul with a Single Sword, an Invincible Momentum
In the sky above Yunxiao Ancient City.
Ye Feng stood suspended in the air, his feet resting on a giant metal leaf blade.
In his left hand, he held the Wind Spirit Pearl, and in his right, a Mini Banana Palm Fan.
Just now, he had attempted to break through the Blood Spirit Array’s shield with the wind of spell breaking and brute force, only to find that even though he could breach it, he still couldn’t shake the foundation of the entire array.
Left with no choice, Ye Feng only utilized Wind Element Spirit Energy.
The result did not disappoint him.
The Blood Spirit Array was broken!
Although Yunxiao Ancient City had suffered heavy losses, it was at least saved.
“Thank goodness I was nearby. If I had been at Misty Peak or still at the Hundred Artifacts Sect, by the time I rushed back, the entire Yunxiao Ancient City would have ceased to exist.”
Ye Feng looked down with a solemn expression and whispered to himself.
On the ground.
Countless cultivators who survived the disaster looked up at the sky.
“Who is that?”
“Holding a Banana Fan… isn’t that Misty Sect’s Sect Master Ye, as the rumors say?”
The survivors all turned their gaze towards Jia Yulan and the others, their eyes full of questioning.
“It is indeed our Sect Leader,” Jia Yulan confirmed with a nod.
“It’s really Sect Master Ye!” The crowd was shocked.
The news spread instantly, causing an uproar throughout the city.
Ye Feng noticed that the Sect Prestige Value had suddenly soared by five thousand, followed by another ten thousand, pushing the Sect Prestige Value to over eighty thousand, and it was still rising sharply.
At this rate, it would break through the one hundred thousand mark by tonight!
But before Ye Feng could smile, a scolding voice came from the distant sky.
“Who are you, daring to break my Blood Spirit Array? Are you seeking death?” The voice was filled with killing intent and rage, sending a shudder through the eardrums of the more than one hundred thousand onlookers below. Some even vomited blood on the spot and collapsed to the ground from weakness.
Ye Feng looked towards the source of the sound.
He saw a figure with hands behind his back approaching.
This person was covered in moss, his true face completely obscured.
Or perhaps, that was his true face!
“I am Misty Sect’s Sect Leader Ye Feng, and who might you be?” Ye Feng challenged.
“You’re Ye Feng? Hmph! It seems I’ve spent much effort looking for nothing, only to find you effortlessly. I am Qinghun Zhenren. The Souhun Zhenren that you eradicated was my junior brother,” Qinghun Zhenren stared coldly at Ye Feng, continuously releasing his Spiritual Sense to scan him, but found it utterly impossible to see through him.
No matter how he scanned, in Qinghun Zhenren’s eyes, Ye Feng was just an ordinary mortal.
However, since Ye Feng was able to kill Souhun Zhenren, he must not be weak.
Qinghun Zhenren was well aware of this and did not take it lightly.
The next moment, he fully unleashed the aura of someone in the Sixth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, his oppressive presence as heavy as a terrifying storm, instantly sweeping across the entire city.
Jia Yulan, Zhuang Gaoyi, the Demi-transformed Demon Beasts, and other cultivators could hardly bear the oppression, nearly dropping to their knees.
“You’re Souhun Zhenren’s senior brother?” Ye Feng’s gaze shifted slightly.
If there was a senior brother, it meant that Souhun Zhenren was backed by a sect or a lineage, and his master was probably a very strong entity, creating a heavy pressure on Ye Feng.
“Ye Feng, die!” exclaimed Qinghun Zhenren as he took action.
As he formed hand seals, a sharp presence immediately manifested around him, condensing nine Tree Demons each one hundred meters tall in midair, each emitting an aura on par with the First Layer of the Element Gathering Realm.
If they joined forces, they could probably battle someone of the Fourth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm.
“What kind of technique is this? It doesn’t feel like a spell.” Ye Feng frowned.
He unconsciously activated the Spirit Beast Pavilion’s scouting function and immediately, several lines of detailed descriptions appeared in his sight.
[Qinghun Zhenren: Middle Rank Demon General]
[Talent: External Incarnation]
[Note: A Tree Demon that has cultivated for a thousand years and transformed into a human shape, self-styled as Qinghun Zhenren, has converted to cultivate the technique ‘Five Qi Dynasty Yuan’, with a cultivation level reaching the Sixth Layer of the Element Gathering Realm, possesses extremely strong life-protection methods, must be careful of him fleeing, and must break his core nucleus in one strike to eradicate him, otherwise, the kill is invalid]
“To think he’s this hard to kill?” Ye Feng’s heart turned cold.
He used the scouting function to look for weaknesses but found none, indicating that his current scouting function was not yet strong enough.
To bluff, Ye Feng suddenly shouted, “Qinghun Zhenren… so you’re a Transformative Tree Demon!”
Qinghun Zhenren’s pupils contracted: “You can actually see my true form?”
“So what if I can see it?” Ye Feng glanced over the nine Tree Demon avatars, realizing their strength was quite ordinary despite their number.
Taking advantage of Qinghun Zhenren’s lack of attention, Ye Feng suddenly waved the Mini Banana Palm Fan.
Twenty-two fans in a second!
Whistling!
A terrifying tornado formed by the overlapping of ferocious winds carved a graceful arc across the sky, instantly grinding five Tree Demon avatars into a flurry of wood chips like snow, scattering towards the ground below.
“Unethical, how dare you sneak attack!” Qinghun Zhenren cursed loudly.
With a scoff, Ye Feng once again waved the Mini Banana Palm Fan twenty times in quick succession, bursting the remaining four Tree Demon avatars before leaping into the air, his fist wrapping with mountainous power as he smashed it towards Qinghun Zhenren’s head.
“Arrogant!” Qinghun Zhenren hadn’t expected Ye Feng to be so bold, quickly forming hand seals to condense a huge glowing wooden shield in midair.
Thud!
Ye Feng’s punch cracked the wooden shield, but he himself was also rebounded hundreds of meters.
“That force…”
Qinghun Zhenren’s arms trembled, inwardly marveling at the astonishing power of Ye Feng’s punch, which was so formidable that even his Wood Spirit Shield couldn’t withstand it.
“Element Gathering Realm Sixth Layer, nothing special,” Ye Feng retracted his fist, his expression indifferent.
He had faced Qinghun Zhenren head-on to test how strong his full-powered strike could be.
The result satisfied him.
“Arrogant!” Qinghun Zhenren was enraged.
Although his defense was weak, his offensive methods were extremely powerful, and he still had many techniques yet to be used. Once he exerted his full strength, dealing with Ye Feng wouldn’t be a problem.
On a small mound of dirt outside the city.
“Senior brother, Ye Feng hasn’t used that Sword Drawing Technique yet, don’t underestimate him!”
At this moment, Souhun Zhenren was nursing a swollen head that resembled a pig’s, his face full of worry. In his eyes, the most terrifying aspect of Ye Feng was that one Sword Drawing Technique, which was truly fearsome.
“Chaotic Heaven’s Slash!”
Just then, Qinghun Zhenren suddenly created a distance of over a thousand meters from Ye Feng, his arms raised as if he was holding up the heavens. Infinite strength surged from his body upwards, forming a hundred-meter long azure greatsword that emitted a piercing sword light, causing a stinging sensation all over one’s body as he fiercely chopped down.
“It’s over!”
The faces of those within Yunxiao Ancient City were filled with despair.
This slash was coming from above. If Ye Feng couldn’t block it or evade it, then Yunxiao Ancient City would surely be split in two!
“Nice calculation!” Ye Feng saw Qinghun Zhenren’s intent.
He must take the hit head-on.
Otherwise, at least tens of thousands of people in the Yunxiao Ancient City below would be annihilated.
“This slash contains all of my strength. If you don’t block it, at least one-tenth of the people below will die. But if you do try to defend against it, your death is certain!”
Qinghun Zhenren laughed heartily, not afraid at all that Ye Feng knew his plans.
“Certain death?” Ye Feng laughed.
In his right hand, he held a Mini Banana Palm Fan, fanning it twenty times in one second to weaken the force of the slash, and then, with his left hand grasping the Wind Spirit Pearl, created a shield before him, stopping the Chaotic Heaven’s Slash.
“How is that possible?” Qinghun Zhenren’s face was filled with disbelief.
That was his full-strength strike!
Below the seventh layer of the Element Gathering Realm, who could possibly block it?
Yet, Ye Feng had actually blocked it!
Outside the city, Souhun Zhenren was also dumbstruck upon witnessing this scene.
Ye Feng had become stronger again!
Not good, my senior brother is going to lose…
Thinking of this, Souhun Zhenren’s expression suddenly changed.
“Blocked it!”
“Sect Master Ye is mighty!”
Compared to Souhun Zhenren’s worries, the civilians of Yunxiao Ancient City breathed a huge sigh of relief and then erupted into cheering, contributing a large number of Prestige Points.
Very quickly, the Sect Prestige Value rose from ninety thousand to one hundred thousand!
“Ding, Sect Prestige Value has broken through one hundred thousand. The fourth phase of the Spirit Beast Pavilion is unlocked. The ‘Scouting’ function is enhanced for the first time. You can now perceive deeper weaknesses in targets, and all other functions have also been improved. The fourth function has been unlocked.”
“Ding, the Artifact-refining Pavilion is officially open.”
“Ding, Sect Storage Space +1000 cubic meters.”
The System issued several notifications in succession.
Ye Feng didn’t pay attention to the others and focused on the enhanced “Scouting” function. He immediately intensified his gaze on Qinghun Zhenren, discovering a heart-shaped emerald green Core Nucleus in constant motion on his body, difficult to detect.
“That’s the weakness!”
A light shone in Ye Feng’s eyes.
He had not executed the Sword Drawing Technique before because although the spell was powerful, it could only be used once in a short time. If Qinghun Zhenren managed to dodge it, Ye Feng would undoubtedly be defeated.
But now, times had changed.
Qinghun Zhenren’s weakness had been discovered!
“Sword Drawing Technique!”
In an instant, Ye Feng reached Qinghun Zhenren’s vicinity, his left hand holding the scabbard while the right hand gripped the hilt in a backhand position, gathering all his Heroic Spirit Power to draw the sword.
Shua!
The dazzling sword light was so oppressive that even the air seemed to freeze.
Everyone looked up and could only see an exceptionally blinding light in the sky. They all had to turn away, fearing their eyes would be dazzled.
Qinghun Zhenren’s expression changed dramatically as he saw Ye Feng draw that radiant iron sword, cleaving towards his own head.
This sword was terrifying!
However, after an initial shock, Qinghun Zhenren then sneered in mockery.
“You think you can kill me? Heh, foolish!”
Qinghun Zhenren quickly moved his Core Nucleus to his left foot, knowing that as long as the Core Nucleus was intact, he could quickly regenerate even if his head were chopped off.
Yet, what he didn’t know was that almost invisible Wind Element Spirit Energy, under the cover of the blinding light from the Sword Drawing Technique, silently cleaved towards Qinghun Zhenren’s left foot.
“No good!”
Qinghun Zhenren suddenly felt the approach of death and quickly looked down to his left foot, only to see that it had been grazed by a sword light.
Crack!
The thumb-sized Core Nucleus was split in two.
The next moment, Ye Feng grasped the cleaved emerald green Core Nucleus, while the dazzling light from the Sword Drawing Technique decapitated Qinghun Zhenren’s head. The remaining sword energy continued its assault, leaving behind a ravine that extended over a thousand meters in the dense forest outside the city.
“How… How could you discover this true person’s weakness?” Qinghun Zhenren’s head spoke as his consciousness began to fade away.
To the end, he didn’t know where he had lost.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Feng collected Qinghun Zhenren’s remains into the System Space and then slowly descended toward the ground, murmuring the victor’s low hum.
“Sorry, I’m using cheats…”
The splendid sword light dissipated.
Everyone looked up just in time to see the scene of Sect Master Ye decapitating Qinghun Zhenren with a single strike, all of them dumbstruck.
“He’s dead?”
“Sect Master Ye has slain Qinghun Zhenren!”
“We’re safe!”
“Sect Master Ye is invincible!”
The entire city cheered.
In their eyes, Ye Feng had eradicated Qinghun Zhenren with just one move, the Sword Drawing Technique. As for the fatal wound inflicted by Wind Element Spirit Energy, no one except Ye Feng could detect it.
Atop an earthen hill.
Souhun Zhenren collapsed onto the ground.
“My poor senior brother…”
