In the sky, Pei Wei, who was in pain and screaming, started to fall rapidly as soon as he broke through the fireball.
However, this situation lasted less than two breaths before Pei Wei stabilized his fall.
Cursing Ye Zhen in the sky, he began to treat his injuries.
"Bastard!"
"How dare you use tricks to injure me like this! When I catch you, I will use the most cruel and brutal punishments... hsss..."
As he spoke, Pei Wei took a sharp breath.
At this time, Pei Wei looked extremely miserable. Where the Xuan Fire Drill hit his chest and abdomen, a large hole was opened, exposing ribs charred by flames. The surrounding flesh was scorched, and blood gushed out uncontrollably.
His whole body was scorched black, with varying degrees of burns all over, and his hair and eyebrows, especially his iconic red hair, turned to ashes.
As the Spiritual Power within Pei Wei surged, his body twitched a few times, stopping the bleeding, and the most severe injuries even began to visibly wriggle and heal.
Within a few breaths, Pei Wei stared gloomily at the ground and roared, "Bastard, I’m going to kill you!"
This situation left Ye Zhen somewhat shocked.
Before using the Three Formation Profound Fire Drill to strike Pei Wei, Ye Zhen never expected to kill him with one blow — that was simply impossible.
However, severely injuring him was possible.
But in hindsight, Ye Zhen was too idealistic.
Despite how miserable Pei Wei looked, in reality, these were just superficial injuries!
Once a Martial Artist begins forming an Acquired Spiritual Body, external injuries’ impact gradually lessens with increasing cultivation, especially since Pei Wei himself was proficient in flames, making it easy to remove the Earth Vein Heavenly Fire’s power.
Despite his severe injuries, this level of injury might only affect Pei Wei’s combat power by one or two tenths at most.
Seeing Pei Wei sinisterly staring at the ground, Ye Zhen didn’t linger, and with a move of his Divine Sense, he swiftly escaped underground.
Given what happened today, further actions in Qingyun Castle would only invite disaster, so Ye Zhen decided to conclude today’s actions and return to the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
Due to the fear of Pei Wei tracking his underground movements, Ye Zhen didn’t hesitate to consume power to escape deeper into the ground before beginning his Earth Escape.
In the sky, Pei Wei, radiating formidable Divine Soul Power, suddenly moved his gaze and lunged forward.
In the instant he lunged, at a place over a dozen meters above the ground, he pressed his hand and a tooth-grinding air explosion erupted, causing the surrounding void to sink simultaneously, then suddenly lifted it upwards!
Suddenly, the earth trembled and dirt flew.
The ground, nearly a thousand meters covered by Pei Wei’s palm, including buildings and the earth and stones below, seemed to be lifted up and suddenly floated over fifty meters high!
It was like a small mountain suddenly rising from the flat ground.
Pei Wei’s wounds, which had just stopped bleeding, immediately burst open again, and blood surged out once more. But Pei Wei didn’t care, holding his breath, he levitated his left hand, while a blazing light like a fire meteor from his right hand tore toward the giant pit he had just lifted!
Underground.
As Ye Zhen, continuously diving deeper, suddenly felt the pressure on his body lighten.
This strange feeling prompted Ye Zhen to move his Divine Sense, immediately extending it outwards.
Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s expression changed dramatically at seeing that fire meteor barreling towards his head, feeling as if his soul was about to scatter!
Soul Artifact!
Having encountered Soul Artifacts multiple times before, Ye Zhen could ascertain that this meteor coming at his head was undoubtedly a Soul Artifact of astonishing power!
And even though Ye Zhen was underground, this was still a fatal blow!
Originally, Ye Zhen deliberately dived deeper underground to avoid possible bombardment by Pei Wei. In this time, Ye Zhen had already escaped over eighty meters deep, roughly safe.
But the fatal issue was that Pei Wei lifted an entire small mountain five to six stories high, immediately reducing Ye Zhen’s underground depth from over eighty meters to about thirty meters!
A Soul Artifact of such immense power being thirty meters above Ye Zhen’s head is hardly different in harm from a Spiritual Artifact directly bombarding his head!
Ye Zhen no longer had time to marvel at Pei Wei’s astonishing technique. Upon noticing the fire meteor crashing down, instinctively, Ye Zhen frantically urged his Divine Sense to descend rapidly.
As long as the overhead ground was thick enough, it would undoubtedly be his sturdiest shield!
However, the fire meteor’s speed was too fast. Ye Zhen barely managed to dive diagonally down another twenty meters before the Soul Artifact resembling a fire meteor crashed into the center of the giant pit created by Pei Wei!
Instantly, within a ten-meter radius around the giant pit, everything became magma under the fire meteor’s bombardment, and the massive impact spread layer by layer, centering from the pit, towards all directions!
Suddenly, like an earthquake, a massive compressive force transmitted from all directions through the soil, directly crashing onto Ye Zhen’s back. Under this force, the Xuan Fire Spirit Armor on Ye Zhen shattered after withstanding just a half-breath.
The impact force surged into Ye Zhen’s body, transmitting into his Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs!
Suddenly, blood involuntarily gushed from Ye Zhen’s mouth!
While coughing up blood, Ye Zhen frantically fled diagonally downward, almost forcing the Four-colored Innate Soul Light to its limit. In an instant, Ye Zhen had slithered forward a hundred meters further into the earth depth beyond twenty meters!
Only then did the impact force weaken.
Ye Zhen dared not stop for a moment, enduring the excruciating pain in his internal organs, he rapidly Earth Escaped!
Half a quarter-hour later, Ye Zhen’s figure emerged directly in front of the Silent Chamber of Sun and Moon Divine Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong.
At the moment Ye Zhen appeared, Jian Qianxiong, meditating inside, sharply reprimanded, "Who is it?"
After the Divine Sacrifice, Jian Qianxiong’s cultivation had advanced greatly!
Puff!
Just as he escaped from underground, Ye Zhen spewed out another mouthful of blood. The pain, like needles in his five internal organs and six hollow organs, nearly caused Ye Zhen to faint, with cold sweat streaming down his face!
Fortunately, it was only after the Divine Sacrifice that he encountered this Upper Realm Envoy of the Longevity Sect, Pei Wei.
If Ye Zhen had received such a blow before the Divine Sacrifice, he would have undoubtedly died!
During the Divine Sacrifice, Ye Zhen extensively tempered his five internal organs and six hollow organs in preparation to cultivate the Innate Fire Spirit Battle Body later on, greatly enhancing their strength and functionality!
In such a state, it was just that one strike affected Ye Zhen’s organs, causing him to vomit blood. If it were before, Ye Zhen’s insides would have been crushed into mush.
"Ye Zhen? What’s happened to you?"
Seeing Ye Zhen’s dreadful condition, Jian Qianxiong said nothing and immediately carried Ye Zhen into the Silent Chamber, quickly examining him and began healing his injuries.
"Who did this to you? Your bones are fine, but your internal organs are injured everywhere. A bit more force and you would have..." Jian Qianxiong was shocked.
As he spoke, he fed Ye Zhen a series of healing pills.
The pills entered and soon brought a cool sensation to his internal organs!
"Pei Wei, he chased me when I was hunting experts, and then we fought!"
"What? You actually fought against Pei Wei?" Jian Qianxiong was shocked, and the Spiritual Power he was channeling into Ye Zhen trembled slightly.
Ye Zhen nodded as he caught his breath.
"How strong is Pei Wei?" Jian Qianxiong asked.
"Unfathomably strong!"
Hearing these four words, Jian Qianxiong’s expression suddenly turned grim, "How powerful can he be? How does he compare to Yan Wuji?"
"Stronger than Yan Wuji, definitely not weaker! I suspect he’s... Dao Entrance Realm!" Ye Zhen said.
"What? Dao Entrance Realm?"
Jian Qianxiong’s hands trembled again, his face became extremely worried. With a Ninth Stage King and several Soul Artifacts giving him enough headaches, the presence of a Dao Entrance Realm being would make the situation in the following days...
As this thought passed, Jian Qianxiong felt his heart sink deeper!
"Don’t worry, Sect Leader, although Pei Wei is strong, he’s not invincible. In a face-off, I managed to injure him, though his injuries were lighter than mine!"
Ye Zhen’s words slightly reassured Jian Qianxiong.
"So, your hunt tonight failed?" Jian Qianxiong’s expression showed a trace of disappointment!
Unavoidably, he might have to unseal the prismatic golden crystal from the Golden Altar and invite an Upper Realm Divine Envoy to handle this crisis!
"Who said I failed, just didn’t achieve the expected results, but still took down five Establishment Kings!" Ye Zhen replied.
"What, took down five Establishment Kings?" Jian Qianxiong’s face lit up with joy!
"Quickly tell me, who are they?"
"Heavenly Net Sect’s Second Elder, Wuy Chao!"
"What, you actually took down Wuy Chao?" Jian Qianxiong was so shocked he nearly jumped.
"Four Divine Generals Jio Ling of the Longevity Sect, and another Establishment Realm..."
The more Ye Zhen spoke, the more delighted Jian Qianxiong became, with increasingly complex emotions in his gaze toward Ye Zhen.
He was very curious about how Ye Zhen accomplished this?
....
Time rewinds to half an hour earlier, as Ye Zhen forcefully endured his injuries to escape, Pei Wei, in the sky, had just suppressed his injuries after forcibly driving his Soul Artifact to attack Ye Zhen, but he couldn’t hold back anymore!
Puff!
As a mouthful of blood spewed out, the wounds just healed burst open again, and blood like spring water sprayed crazily, instantly turning Pei Wei into a bloodied figure.
At the same moment, the earthy mountain encompassing a thousand meters and towering a hundred meters, which Pei Wei had forcefully raised, could no longer be sustained, shattering into countless blocks, falling from the sky and raising clouds of dust.
A scarlet stream of light shot out from the fallen earth, returning to Pei Wei’s body.
This was the Red Fire Meteor Seal Soul Artifact Pei Wei had refined by an expert, matching his power!
And at this time, nearby forces, alarmed by such a spectacle, arrived in succession.
Especially Yin Changsheng and Yan Wuji, searching for Pei Wei’s whereabouts, led a group of experts to this location.
Spotting Yan Wuji, the blood-soaked Pei Wei pointed at the ground and roared angrily, "Dig!"
"Dig immediately!"
"Dig deeply three to fifty meters, surely you’ll find the assassin’s corpse! That bastard, he’s been eliminated!"
As Pei Wei jumped in rage, the blood he had just controlled spewed out once more!
This scene made Yin Changsheng and Yan Wuji exchange fearful glances!
