Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Dang!”

The Qianyuan Sword and the Water Source Blade clashed, emitting a harsh metallic twist.

Jing Chaodong, with his originally ferocious expression, froze for a moment, his eyes revealing a look of incredulity.

The Water Source Blade and the Qianyuan Sword only held for a moment before instantly retracting and slamming into Jing Chaodong’s chest.

Wherever the Water Source Blade passed, Jing Chaodong’s elemental defense on his body shattered like paper, instantly breaking apart along with his flesh, bones, and the organs within his torso.

“Puff!”

Jing Chaodong spurted out a mouthful of blood, with over thirty percent of his chest cavity disappearing, sending him flying dozens of meters backward before crashing into the ground, creating a deep pit.

As the impact reverberated through the ground, exacerbating Jing Chaodong’s injuries, another mist of blood sprayed out from him. His complexion turned as pale as a sheet of paper, his breath sinking to its nadir.

With the robust vitality of the Mountain Sea Realm, such injuries were extremely severe. Without proper treatment, dying from such heavy wounds wouldn’t be an unusual outcome.

Jing Chaodong struggled to prop himself up, his eyes carrying a hint of bewilderment.

This person’s close combat skills were unexpectedly much stronger than his archery.

In Jing Chaodong’s eyes, Chen Fei’s archery was already a rare sight among mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm experts. Yet, with his prowess in close combat, Jing Chaodong couldn’t help but feel as if he had encountered a late-stage expert.

As Xiao Qiping and his companions rushed frantically towards Chen Fei, they all witnessed Jing Chaodong’s plight, their faces turning pale.

To them, Jing Chaodong’s close combat ability seemed to be the turning point for their victory in this battle. They no longer needed to worry about arrows from Chen Fei.

However, Chen Fei’s single sword strike directly informed them that if they didn’t face the arrows, they would have to face something even more terrifying.

Countless thoughts raced through Xiao Qiping’s mind, and instinctively, he wanted to turn and flee.

Xiao Qiping1 s strength was almost on par with Jing Chaodong’s, perhaps slightly superior. If Jing Chaodong had been heavily injured by a single sword strike, Xiao Qiping reckoned his fate wouldn’t be any better if he engaged.

But turning to flee meant facing Chen Fei’s unreasonable archery, which would likely result in instant death.

Xiao Qiping gritted his teeth, frustrated by the predicament. What kind of lunatic was this? Unable to win, yet not even given the chance to flee.

“Kill!”

Xiao Qiping roared loudly, igniting his soul completely. His entire being was instantly shrouded in a layer of black radiance as he charged towards Chen Fei at an even faster speed.

It wasn’t entirely hopeless. Perhaps Chen Fei’s earlier sword strike was a secret technique, explaining its strength.

Not being from a sacred place, wielding only a medium-grade spiritual treasure, there was no reason for Chen Fei to be this formidable. There must be something about him that they hadn’t seen clearly!

Xiao Qiping fought desperately, while Liao Zhongqing and Huo Yuyin were somewhat stunned. Their instinctive reaction was also to flee, but as Xiao Qiping had realized, with the power of that bow and arrow, they stood no chance of escaping.

They had desperately tried to approach earlier, only to discover that the closer they got, the closer they came to death.

If they had turned and fled when Gu Yande died earlier, there would have been a good chance of escaping in this kind of environment.

Liao Zhongqing and Huo Yuyin gritted their teeth and continued to charge forward. Now, only by fighting desperately could they hope for a glimmer of survival.

Chen Fei glanced at Xiao Qiping and the others before flashing to Jing Chaodong’s side.

“Don’t kill…”

Upon seeing Chen Fei, Jing Chaodong’s body suddenly trembled, and all vitality dissipated completely before he could even speak.

Chen Fei pulled the Qianyuan Sword from Jing Chaodong’s forehead and turned to face Xiao Qiping, with the distance between them barely ten steps.

Seeing Jing Chaodong’s death, Xiao Qiping’s aura became even more frenzied. There was no point in begging for mercy; they might as well die together! As the black radiance erupted, Xiao Qiping’s intelligence vanished completely, and his momentum instantly soared to its peak.

Seeing Xiao Qiping’s state, Chen Fei’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Fighting with his life?

In the face of an absolute gap in strength, whether they fought desperately or not, the outcome would be the same.

Electricity flickered around Chen Fei as the Qianyuan Sword transformed into thunder, and the terrifying power of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant circulated within his body.

Initiating the Fourth Star!

Four beams of light flashed across Chen Fei’s body, and faintly, a Divine Palace condensed within him, and his elemental energy boiled.

Sword Mastery and Adamantine Body technique radiated, and Chen Fei’s momentum continued to rise.

Sword Dominates the Galaxy

Illusory sword shadows manifested within Chen Fei’s body, amplifying his already exaggerated momentum as if to break through the obstruction of the black mist.

Killing Xiao Qiping didn’t require such effort. However, encountering a mid- stage Mountain Sea Realm expert who was willing to fight desperately was rare. Chen Fei also wanted to see where he stood in his fully unleashed state.

The ferocious momentum surged towards Xiao Qiping, and despite his current lack of fear, his indifferent gaze showed intense fluctuations upon sensing

Chen Fei’s current aura.

Yet, the instinct to seek safety and avoid danger made Xiao Qiping unable to resist the urge to escape, despite there being no fear at this moment.

However, with the distance between them now less than ten steps, there was no chance for Xiao Qiping to flee.

Chen Fei took a step forward, causing ripples to spread across the ground.

The power in this step was unparalleled, yet Chen Fei’s precise control prevented any damage to the ground.

In the next moment, Chen Fei appeared in front of Xiao Qiping, the Qianyuan Sword thrusting out.

Xiao Qiping silently howled, his entire mouth turning into pure black, devoid of any resemblance to a human, appearing eerie.

“Boom!”

The tip of the Qianyuan Sword directly pushed aside Xiao Qiping’s Night Demon Blade, despite Xiao Qiping’s current strength being at his personal

peak.

But compared to Chen Fei, Xiao Qiping was still too weak.

The top-tier techniques of the pinnacle of the Perfection level within the Sacred Lands, even among the Sacred Lands, there was no one like Chen Fei. Each of his two main combat talents was something that experts in the Mountain Sea Realm dreamed of.

With the embryonic talent technique and the immense power bestowed by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant in the Great Completion level, in this situation, even if Xiao Qiping fought desperately, what could he do?

The Qianyuan Sword’s momentum was unstoppable, directly piercing through Xiao Qiping’s body, shattering nearly half of his torso into pieces.

The black radiance covering Xiao Qiping’s body actually had extremely excellent defensive capabilities, but it was useless against Chen Fei’s current attack power, far exceeding the black radiance’s defense, rendering it unable to

withstand.

“Bang!”

Xiao Qiping’s body slammed onto the ground dozens of meters away, completely losing the Night Fork state, with his skin returning to its normal color.

Blood continued to flow from Xiao Qiping’s mouth, his vitality plummeting until he was on the brink of death.

Chen Fei flashed to Xiao Qiping’s side. Xiao Qiping’s mouth moved as if to speak, but before he could utter a word, Chen Fei’s sword swept across his neck. Xiao Qiping’s body stiffened, then collapsed to the ground, devoid of any vitality.

Chen Fei turned his gaze to Liao Zhongqing and Huo Yuyin not far away. With a step backward, he vanished from the spot.

“Mer…,”

Liao Zhongqing and Huo Yuyin were completely bewildered at this moment.

Even if Xiao Qiping fought desperately, he couldn’t change anything. What could their early-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivation do?

However, before the two could finish pleading for mercy, a sword light flashed, abruptly silencing their voices.

Chen Fei reappeared, watching as Liao Zhongqing and Huo Yuyin fell.

The one who kills must be prepared to be killed; this was the principle that

Chen Fei had always upheld.

Since Xiao Qiping and his group had plotted to kill him, they should be prepared to be killed by him.

If Chen Fei’s strength had been slightly weaker, the outcome would have been completely different.

In their final moments, Liao Zhongqing and the others pleaded not out of remorse for their actions but out of fear upon realizing the heavy consequences they would face for their deeds.

Chen Fei waved his hand, and the spiritual treasures of Xiao Qiping’s group gathered before him, along with their spiritual essences.

Chen Fei infused all the spiritual essences into the Qianyuan Sword, causing the sword’s blade to tremble slightly.

The collections within the spiritual treasures of the five individuals were absorbed by Chen Fei into the Qianyuan Sword. Then, he directly transferred the spiritual essences from the five treasures to the Concealment Bell, the Lock Shadow Bow, and the Astonishing Spirit Jade Pendant.

As for the Jade Ruler on their bodies, Chen Fei directly shattered it.

From this point on, all traces of the five individuals were completely erased by Chen Fei.

Chen Fei glanced at the sky. It hadn’t been long since nightfall, and leaving now would be somewhat wasteful.

He could inventory the collections of Xiao Qiping and his group later. Since they were already inside the boundary, it wouldn’t be quite justifiable to not kill some monsters.

In Chen Fei’s eyes, these monsters were all sources of contribution points.

The speed of his future cultivation depended on how many monsters he could kill in the Black Divine Barrier during this period.

A faint light radiated from his brow as Chen Fei looked into the distance, his expression suddenly pausing.

The blessing of the Black Divine Barrier on Chen Fei seemed to have increased once again.

It wasn’t that Chen Fei absorbed insights or enlightenment; it was that, on top of those bonuses, he discovered his vision had been significantly enhanced.

Chen Fei frowned slightly, glancing at the traces of the recent battle on the ground around him.

When he had shot Gu Yande with an arrow earlier, Chen Fei had sensed something, but he hadn’t paid much attention to it at the time.

Now, considering the current situation, it was evident that the Black Divine Barrier was rewarding him for killing Mountain Sea Realm warriors.

First, the technique insight would turn people dark when absorbed, and then after killing Mountain Sea Realm experts, additional rewards were given. This seemed to be the operational logic of the Black Divine Barrier.

Compared to the bonuses from absorbing technique insights, the rewards for killing Xiao Qiping’s group were obviously much greater. The intent of the Black Divine Barrier was now clear.

Chen Fei’s gaze flickered, then he regained his composure.

He had always had his own principles in how he conducted himself. Without reason, Chen Fei wouldn’t act against others.

Sheathing the Qianyuan Sword, Chen Fei’s figure flickered, disappearing from the spot.

Moments later, he reappeared at the entrance of the Stone Forest Canyon. The pile of monsters remained numerous, and Chen Fei even felt that there were a few more than when he had last seen them yesterday.

Chen Fei’s brow furrowed slightly as he left the entrance of the Stone Forest Canyon and headed towards Green Acorn Lake.

When the situation occurred at the Stone Forest Canyon initially, Zhao Ruizheng had wanted to lead the team to Green Acorn Lake.

Half an hour later, Chen Fei arrived in the area of Green Acorn Lake. With a glance, he could see monsters lurking about, and he also noticed several other Mountain Sea Realm experts wandering nearby.

“The number of solitary monsters is decreasing!”

In the past half hour alone, Chen Fei had only managed to kill one early-stage Fourth-Tier monster. Apart from that, there had been no other gains.

Although the density of monsters in Green Acorn Lake might be slightly lower than in the Stone Forest Canyon, once disturbed, it could easily trigger a chain reaction.

A faint light glimmered at Chen Fei’s brow, and suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

In the depths of Green Acorn Lake, Chen Fei vaguely saw a tree.

A tree that looked somewhat familiar.
