Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Unparalleled Power, Crushing the Mysterious Woman
Ye Feng and Wang Xuanping stood on the Teleportation Array, and the next moment, they had arrived at the Barren Desert tens of thousands of miles away.
“This is…the Barren Desert!”
Wang Xuanping recognized the place.
“Sect Leader, did we come here for training?”
“Yes, the Barren Desert spans tens of thousands of miles, as far as the eye can see there’s nothing but vast yellow sand. At sunset, a sense of magnificence arises naturally, making it most suitable for you to temper your mind.”
“Hmm.”
Wang Xuanping nodded her head.
At this time, the powerful members of the Soul-Devouring Clan had not yet arrived, and she had to drag out the time as much as possible.
The two began to walk in the desert.
“You come from Zhongyuan City, right?”
“Yes.”
“Do you think there’s anything delicious in your Zhongyuan City?”
“Eh…”
Wang Xuanping hesitated for a moment, “Of course, there’s pork kidney, roast lamb leg, chive dumplings…”
She listed several dozen delicacies all at once.
The Soul-Devouring Clan had established a stronghold in Zhongyuan City, and before taking over Wang Xuanping’s body, she often wandered around the city, sampling all sorts of delicacies found in its streets and alleys.
“That’s great!”
Ye Feng nodded, “Then let’s take a walk in Zhongyuan City.”
“Ah?”
Wang Xuanping was stunned again.
The stronghold of the Soul-Devouring Clan was in Zhongyuan City, and if Ye Feng went there, he would be walking right into their ambush.
Thinking this, Wang Xuanping nodded repeatedly, “Sure, disciple can lead the way for the Sect Leader. However, Sect Leader, is it not dangerous for just the two of us to be out here on our own?”
“Trying to test me?” Ye Feng thought with a chuckle.
He put on an expression of disdain, hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance.
“Although this Sect Leader has lost all his cultivation, with the power of the Ancient Heroic Spirit Force, I am still able to wield the strength of the Divine Origin Realm. How could there be any existence within Zhongyuan City capable of threatening me?”
“Sect Leader is mighty!”
Wang Xuanping immediately began to flatter him.
Yet when she lowered her head, her eyes were full of contempt.
To dare to be an enemy to us with just Divine Origin Realm strength, such arrogance, today, our Soul-Devouring Clan will teach you a lesson!
Wang Xuanping sneered inwardly.
Whoosh!
The two flew at high speed, and after half a day, they finally reached Zhongyuan City.
Because Ye Feng had covered his figure with a wisp of golden fog, the cultivators in the city did not recognize him.
The remaining light of the setting sun stretched their shadows long.
Ye Feng and Wang Xuanping walked on a sparsely populated street, and besides the shadow of the ground, there were no other people.
Suddenly, Ye Feng stopped.
“Xuanping, why have you brought us down such a desolate road? Look, at the end of the street there’s even a dilapidated temple.”
Ye Feng pointed ahead and said.
However, when he turned around, he found that on the ground there was only his own long shadow cast by the sunset.
As for Wang Xuanping, she had long since vanished.
Ye Feng was taken aback, then a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
“Has the show started?”
He murmured.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire street became dead silent in an instant.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Dozens of figures shrouded in black fog dropped from the trees on both sides of the street, surrounding Ye Feng.
Every one of them had the cultivation level of the Divine Origin Realm.
Tap tap tap…
Footsteps emanated from the dilapidated temple.
Ye Feng looked over.
Wang Xuanping stretched out her hand, holding onto the snow-white hand of a mysterious, swaying woman in a black robe, and they walked slowly towards him.
With every step they took, the sound intensified the beating of the heart.
Even a powerful Divine Origin Realm being would feel a sense of oppression.
“Half-step Void Break!”
Ye Feng looked at the mysterious woman, not expecting that within Zhongyuan City, such a terrifyingly powerful figure would be hidden.
In the past, this person could have clashed head-on with Ancestor Lingmiao.
Perhaps, it was only because she was wary of Ancestor Lingmiao that she had been biding her time all along.
“Are you the Misty Sect’s Sect Leader, Ye Feng?”
The mysterious woman looked towards Ye Feng. Without revealing her true face, a cold voice came through, suggesting a sense of superiority.
If Ye Feng had still been at his peak, she wouldn’t have dared to make a move.
And had Ye Feng remained in the Mystique Kingdom, she would have been cautious of Ancestor Lingmiao and Ancestor Jinling Avatar and likewise not dared to act.
But now, Ye Feng had come to Zhongyuan City.
The mysterious woman felt that everything was under her control.
She could look down on Ye Feng.
“Indeed.” Ye Feng nodded.
He used his Eye of Insight to examine the mysterious woman.
“So, you are the Foreign Affairs Elder of the Soul-Devouring Clan; your race really is formidable. Does an ordinary Foreign Affairs Elder require a cultivation level of Half-step Void Break?”
Upon hearing this, the mysterious woman was taken aback.
She had not expected that Ye Feng would be able to discern her identity, and moreover, she was surprised at his composure despite knowing she was at the Half-step Void Break level.
Could it be…
“Is Ancestor Lingmiao nearby?”
The mysterious woman’s expression changed drastically, and she immediately scanned her surroundings but did not find any cultivator beyond the Divine Origin Realm nearby.
“No need to look, I came alone.”
Ye Feng looked towards Wang Xuanping, “In fact, the Sect Leader has known for a long time that you are an undercover agent.”
“Impossible!” Wang Xuanping’s complexion underwent a drastic change.
The mysterious woman frowned deeply and said sternly, “So you’re saying, you have deliberately walked into the trap?”
“No, I call this following the vine to get to the melon.” Ye Feng smiled, “It’s just a pity that it’s only a Half-step Void Break. What a small melon, a waste of my expressions.”
Had he known Wang Xuanping’s backup was only at Half-step Void Break, he wouldn’t have waited painfully for a month and would have come to kill earlier.
However, it was not too late now.
“A mere cripple, what power are you pretending to have?” Wang Xuanping rebuked coldly.
At this point, she released a woman’s voice, no need for any further disguise.
Whoosh!
As Wang Xuanping formed hand seals, her body transformed, becoming perky, slender, and proud. Her face also changed into that of a beautiful woman.
A special demon pattern was on her forehead.
“I am really curious about what your purpose is in capturing me.”
Ye Feng stood with his hands behind his back, “Though my cultivation level is ruined, I believe, rounding you all up would not be a problem.”
“A mere wreck dares to boast, come, suppress him and interrogate him with severe torture!”
Wang Xuanping ordered coldly.
“Yes.”
Shadows began to strike from both sides of the street.
Boom!
All of them were at Divine Origin Realm; their aura once released, sealed off the area. Even if there were a cataclysmic battle within, outsiders wouldn’t hear a sound.
“Too weak.”
Ye Feng shook his head.
With a casual swing of his fist, he blasted those dozens of Divine Origin Realm Great Powers into fragments, then with a flick of his finger, he devoured them all with Slaughter Energy, causing his Slaughter Energy to double.
“Slaughter Energy!”
Wang Xuanping let out a shriek.
The mysterious woman’s pupils contracted as she realized something, “Damn it, it’s actually the Slaughter Energy that can suppress the Prophet Clan! This power can also firmly restrain our Soul-Devouring Clan; he must be eliminated!”
“What will you use to eliminate me?” Ye Feng said with a light smile.
Now, his pure strength had reached the peak of the Divine Origin Realm. With a simple squeeze, he could tear through the void.
In his presence, the Divine Origin Realm was as fragile as paper mache.
The mysterious woman said sternly:
“So, even though your cultivation level is destroyed, your Flesh Body Strength remains, and with Slaughter Energy, you can still display power close to that of Half-step Void Break Realm, hence you are so composed, right?”
“That’s one way to put it,” Ye Feng responded with a slight nod.
“Unfortunately, you have underestimated our Soul-Devouring Clan too much.” The mysterious woman stretched out her hand, and from her palm, strange poisonous insects flew out, “Soul-Devouring Poison Insect Army, exterminate him for me!”
Buzzing!
A black cloud of poisonous insects surged toward him, numbering in the hundreds of millions. Each one possessed the eerie talent to directly devour souls; even someone at Half-step Void Break would be in crisis if besieged by them.
“The mere Soul-Devouring Poison Insects are not enough to scare me.”
Ye Feng formed his fingers into a sword, pushing his Slaughter Energy to the limit, transforming it into a black sword light that streaked across the sky.
Rip!
All the Soul-Devouring Insects were devoured by the Slaughter Energy, posing no threat to him.
“Damn it!”
The mysterious woman clenched her teeth in anger, she had not expected Ye Feng’s Slaughter Energy to be so terrifying that even the Soul-Devouring Poison Insects could be annihilated.
“Elder, what should we do?”
Wang Xuanping’s face turned ashen.
“Why panic, the Elder has yet to make her move!” The mysterious woman took a deep breath and stepped forward abruptly.
The profound Half-step Void Break aura erupted forth. With her hand seals, strange black mist turned into a giant hand, displaying the formidable might of Half-step Void Break, and it grasped towards Ye Feng.
“I’ve said, you are too weak,” Ye Feng said, shaking his head.
He had not expected that the so-called strong members of the Soul-Devouring Clan would be so weak that he wouldn’t even need to use his Holy Divine Form.
Boom!
Ye Feng instantly entered the Origin Qi state; his own aura soared to Half-step Void Break and continued to erupt, reaching infinitesimally close to the Void Break Realm.
Crack!
With a single punch from Ye Feng, the mysterious woman’s Dharma Aspect hand was shattered to pieces.
“Your cultivation level has not been destroyed at all!” The mysterious woman finally realized, her voice full of fear.
Wang Xuanping, who was nearby, was even more pale as death.
“Ye Feng’s cultivation level is still intact!”
“He not only deceived the entire world but also the people of the Misty Sect; utterly ruthless and insane!”
Wang Xuanping couldn’t help but scream out.
“Now that you know, it’s too late. Die!” Ye Feng said, his face emotionless.
He raised his hand, and a terrifying oppressive force came crashing down, instantly suppressing Wang Xuanping and the mysterious woman to the ground.
