Bang!
The Fire Mark Meteor struck Ye Zhen’s chest viciously, and the moment the tremendous explosion sound erupted, Ye Zhen’s body was blasted into the air, completely engulfed by the burst of fire-element spiritual power.
Seeing Ye Zhen’s figure submerged in flames of his Fire Mark Meteor, a glimmer of hope and joy suddenly flared in the dead eyes of Miao Jinfeng, the Deputy Helm Master of the Longevity Sect’s Xining Branch.
Ye Zhen had continuously slain five Guardian Elders of the Longevity Sect’s Xining branch. This rhythm of killings had plunged Miao Jinfeng into the abyss of the Nine Netherworlds, his entire body ice cold!
But now, seeing Ye Zhen being blasted by his Fire Mark Meteor, his stiff body suddenly felt a sense of warmth.
Miao Jinfeng felt that Ye Zhen had taken a heavy hit from his Fire Mark Meteor and must have been injured, likely severely. However, deep down, Miao Jinfeng still hoped that his move could directly kill Ye Zhen.
If that were the case, the Longevity Sect might recover some face.
"This... Ye Zhen is... finished..." Watching Ye Zhen fall into the flames of the Fire Mark Meteor, Yinn Jianzhang from Wusheng Pavilion exclaimed in shock.
Zong Yuan of the Purple Lightning Gang furrowed his brows, feeling something was off.
Given Ye Zhen’s previous style, how would he resort to such a desperate and risky maneuver?
"He was careless, Ye Zhen was just too careless, a slip-up..." Jin Wujian’s Yue Zhizhong slapped his thigh and lamented, "What a pity, with his Cultivation only at the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, taking a hit from the Fire Mark Meteor, he must be dead without..."
"Ah!"
While lamenting, Yue Zhizhong suddenly cried out in shock, his face filled with disbelief.
Almost simultaneously, surrounding Martial Artists like Zong Yuan and Yinn Jianzhang, witnessing Ye Zhen flying backwards from the gradually dispersing flames, were shocked to their cores!
"Is this the power of a warrior at the peak of the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm?"
Miao Jinfeng’s Fire Mark Meteor had slain countless warriors in the Soul Sea Realm, yet a peak Fifth Stage Spirit Transformation Realm warrior emerged almost unscathed.
Well, not quite unscathed, because part of Ye Zhen’s hair was indeed burned, and sparks were still visible as he flew out of the flames.
But just as he flew out, red spiritual power, like a wave of water, covered his body once more, and he looked at Miao Jinfeng with supreme arrogance.
"Fire Mark Meteor, is but so-so!" Ye Zhen sneered.
Having said that, Ye Zhen turned towards Du Xueshou, who was still engaging the remaining two Guardian Elders of the Longevity Sect, and bowed distantly, "Thank you for the assistance, Brother Du!"
Earlier, as Ye Zhen used the Red Jade Spirit Armor to withstand Miao Jinfeng’s Fire Mark Meteor, Du Xueshou, who hovered in the sky, suddenly launched a surprise attack, leaping like a flash and appearing behind the Guardian Elder Zhu Wei of the Longevity Sect Xining Branch.
A bloody claw shadow reached out, directly crushing Zhu Wei’s heart.
This action significantly reduced the pressure on Ye Zhen, reversing the roles!
Just moments before, Ye Zhen was being hunted by members of the Longevity Sect, forced to exhaust all his wits and even resist a Fire Mark Meteor with his Red Jade Spirit Armor to kill Tongz Hansu.
Now, with Du Xueshou fighting alone against the remaining two Longevity Sect Guardian Elders, Ye Zhen’s only opponent was Miao Jinfeng and the several dozen Longevity Sect Martial Artists who were spectating didn’t dare intervene.
Even the peak Fifth Stage Soul Sea Realm Guardian Elders were no match, how could they dare to act!
"Hmph, don’t flatter yourself! I have a death feud with the Longevity Sect myself. I acted for my own reasons, who speaks of assistance!" With a fierce shout from Du Xueshou, another Longevity Sect Guardian Elder was critically injured, the flesh of his chest and abdomen blurred, even the internal organs seemed faintly visible.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Ye Zhen’s face, who was still bowing distantly; this Du Xueshou really had a character!
"Du Xueshou, after this battle, I will report to the Main Sect. Whether in heaven or on earth, I must take your life!" Miao Jinfeng roared furiously.
"Deputy Helm Master Miao, quickly send an urgent Talisman Communication, ask the Helm Master for support, please!" Almost simultaneously, the injured Guardian Elder of the Longevity Sect screamed again.
Under the flickering of the bloody claws, a leg was severed at the root.
Du Xueshou was also extremely capable, fighting alone against two Longevity Sect Guardian Elders head-on and forced them into repeated retreats and continuous injuries.
At this rate, it seemed that within a hundred breaths, those two would be finished by Du Xueshou’s hands.
"Miao Jinfeng, it’s your turn now!"
Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly became incredibly stern, and the Spirit Wings on his back instantly streaked into a line.
Fear emerged in Miao Jinfeng’s eyes.
Almost simultaneously, a fiery red Talisman Communication flew out from the palm of Miao Jinfeng, directly landing on the peak of Ning Mountain behind Xining Martial City.
Boom!
Thunder Light erupted, and just as it clapped, Ye Zhen’s figure suddenly appeared beside Miao Jinfeng, and the Heavenly Thunder of Fright roared down.
Fortunately, Miao Jinfeng had long been aware of Ye Zhen’s Heavenly Thunder of Fright, so he wasn’t caught off guard and was prepared early on.
But only by actually clashing with Ye Zhen could one realize just how terrifying he was! Only then could one understand how those eight Guardian Elders of the Longevity Sect had died!
Under the relentless attacks of Heavenly Thunder of Fright and Floating Cloud Finger, even though Miao Jinfeng was prepared, he still retreated continuously, utterly overwhelmed.
Miao Jinfeng felt as if he were not battling a peak Fifth Stage Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist but a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse.
Both the Heavenly Thunder of Fright and the Floating Cloud Finger were as powerful as Divine Power Martial Skills, perhaps even sharper! Especially the Floating Cloud Finger, which he could only face directly with no place to hide, made him feel that even the Divine Skills of several Vein Forging Realm powerhouses he had seen might not be as formidable!
"At this rate, within ten moves, I am certain to die!"
The relentless Floating Cloud Fingers, which Miao Jinfeng couldn’t dodge, gave him a sensation of death looming over him. However, almost all the experts in the sect had died, and even the last two protector elders of the Longevity Sect who were engaged in a fierce battle with Du Xueshou were barely hanging on, close to death.
It seemed that no one could save him!
Suddenly, while battling, Miao Jinfeng’s gaze unintentionally caught sight of the colorful martial artists gathered a few kilometers away in Xining Martial City.
These martial artists varied in their Cultivation; some were in the Spirit Transformation Realm, others in the Spirit Summoning Realm, but there were also quite a few from the Fifth Stage Peak of the Soul Sea Realm, all of them famed in Xining City and currently watching the combat.
In an instant, an idea struck Miao Jinfeng!
"Gentlemen, whoever can slay Ye Zhen, my Longevity Sect will reward with one hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Crystals. Any Soul Sea Realm martial artist attacking Ye Zhen will receive one million low-grade Spirit Crystals each, as long as they make a move!" Suddenly, Miao Jinfeng, shouting at the top of his lungs, roared out.
With Miao Jinfeng’s offer, the martial artists observing from afar were immediately thrown into an uproar.
One hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Crystals was not a small amount.
More importantly, although the reputation of the Longevity Sect was not very good, it always placed a great emphasis on commitments; whatever was promised was always delivered, no matter what!
In the blink of an eye, more than ten martial artists from the Soul Sea Realm began to stir and slowly gather from a distance, seemingly considering to strike, but no one dared to be the first to make a move.
Seeing his plan working, a great joy washed over Miao Jinfeng’s face!
"Everyone, strike quickly! I will hold off Ye Zhen; it should be easy for you to kill him! Just make sure you act before Sect Leader Yang arrives, and my offer stands!"
Miao Jinfeng could hardly contain his joy.
Although those Soul Sea Realm Fifth Stage Peak martial artists hadn’t made a move yet, their mere presence was enough to keep Ye Zhen from being able to concentrate on two things at once, which greatly reduced his pressure!
Miao Jinfeng believed that as long as one of them made a move, he could survive this life-and-death crisis, needing only to hold on for a few dozens of breaths before Sect Leader Yang Zhengxi could arrive.
Sect Leader Yang Zhengxi of the Longevity Sect Xining Branch was an expert in the Second Stage of the Vein Forging Realm!
Once Sect Leader Yang arrived, capturing Ye Zhen would be a cinch!
Watching the dozen or so Soul Sea Realm martial artists slowly advancing, Ye Zhen was also feeling some pressure; if these people really swarmed him, then, no matter how formidable he was, he likely wouldn’t be able to handle it!
Just now, when dealing with the eight Guardian Elders of the Longevity Sect, it appeared on the surface that Ye Zhen was facing off against eight opponents; in reality, Ye Zhen was using the Illusory Realm, turning it into a series of one-on-one surprise attacks.
If he had to directly face eight Soul Sea Realm Fifth Stage Peak martial artists simultaneously, it wouldn’t just be challenging with eight opponents, even three would be too much for Ye Zhen.
Amidst his headache, Ye Zhen made a decision in an instant!
The Talisman Communication for reinforcements from the Longevity Sect had already been sent, and he believed that reinforcements would arrive soon, potentially even a Vein Forging Realm expert.
Normally, since a Deputy Helm Master was already a powerful entity at the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, the Sect Leader would most likely be a Vein Forging Realm expert.
If entangled by a Vein Forging Realm expert, then things would really get out of hand!
"Mister Miao, do you think that by inciting a group to take action, you can escape unscathed?"
"Your time of death... has arrived!"
With a stern shout, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense suddenly focused on the Sword Heart Enlightenment within the First Sword Vein deep inside his body. The yet-unsheathed Profound Yang Sword suddenly pierced out, emitting a Golden Sword Light that traced an extremely mysterious trajectory, striking like lightning towards Miao Jinfeng.
Heart Sword!
The moment the Heart Sword was thrust, the previously dormant Purple Sword Light within Ye Zhen’s First Sword Vein subtly moved, and an extremely fine violet glow briefly flashed by, causing the recently emerged Golden Heart Sword Sword Light to surge even more violently!
"Your time of death, just keep boasting, you think you can kill me under these circumstances?" Miao Jinfeng scoffed disdainfully, believing it was impossible for Ye Zhen to kill him under the current situation.
However, before he could finish speaking, Miao Jinfeng’s expression turned to one of extreme terror.
Even the few Soul Sea Realm martial artists watching from thousands of meters away had their expressions drastically change, facing the Heart Sword, they felt an unstoppable and irresistible force!
Swoosh, swoosh!
While rapidly retreating, Miao Jinfeng’s Fire Mark Meteors bombarded out, meeting Ye Zhen’s Golden Sword Light.
The very next moment, something that terrified Miao Jinfeng occurred abruptly.
The Fire Mark Meteors, which Miao Jinfeng was proud of, in front of Ye Zhen’s emerging Golden Sword Light, seemed merely like clay, sliced effortlessly by the Golden Sword Light and instantly shattered!
"This... how is this possible..."
Miao Jinfeng’s cry of terror was abruptly cut off, as the Golden Sword Light directly penetrated his Protective Spirit Gang, a line of blood appeared on his forehead, and his eyes instantly lost their spirit!
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Ye Zhen turned his head abruptly, looking towards the dozen approaching Soul Sea Realm martial artists, "Whoever wants Ye’s life, come on over!"
Suddenly, the dozen previously advancing Soul Sea Realm martial artists, each color draining from their faces, retreated in extreme fear, their expressions filled with terror, each one turning pale and retreating hurriedly, afraid of being too slow!
Instant kill!
To slay Miao Jinfeng of the Peak of the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm with a single sword strike!
How could they dare to provoke such a terrifying existence?
Almost simultaneously, a beam of light suddenly surged out from behind Ning Mountain, overlooking Xining Martial City, speeding rapidly forward. Before the figure arrived, a thunderous roar like a thunderclap preceded: "Who dares to slaughter the members of my Longevity Sect so brazenly, seeking death!"(To be continued.
