Chapter 1626: Chapter 1615: Pure Masochism
Tianyun City is about a twenty-minute journey from this grove.
The disheveled pair of a man and a woman appeared to be around twenty years old.
The man, fair-skinned and handsome, was none other than Yu Wenxuan, the young master of the Yu family from Tianyun City. His strength was at the initial stage of the first heavenly layer of the Ocean Gathering Realm.
The woman, petite and lovely, with eyes that frequently flickered with panic, elicited sympathy from those who saw her. She was Yu Wenxuan’s sister, Yu Wan’er, whose strength was at the peak of the fourth heavenly layer of the Spirit Communication Realm.
The three middle-aged men pursuing Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er were from the Dings in Tianyun City. The fierce-looking man in the lead was named Ding Guangda; he was the brother of the Dings’ Family Head, with strength at the late stage of the second heavenly layer of the Creation Realm.
The other two middle-aged men following Ding Guangda had strength at the late stage of the second heavenly layer of the Divine Thought Realm and were Ding Guangda’s subordinates.
Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er were friends with the Dings’ young master. A few hours ago, they visited the Dings, and while the young master was away, Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er inadvertently saw something they shouldn’t have.
Thus, they hastily left the Dings. Although they initially intended to return to their home, the Dings quickly set out in pursuit, forcing Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er to flee Tianyun City, only to be cornered in this grove.
The truth was that Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er’s strength was too weak. Under the pursuit of Ding Guangda and the others, they were merely struggling to survive.
Ye Chenfeng, carrying a Black Xuan Sword on his back, had no idea about the events between Yu Wenxuan and Ding Guangda.
Originally, Ye Chenfeng intended to leave, but Ding Guangda directly threatened to send him to the King of Hell?
This made Ye Chenfeng a bit angry.
Throughout the past few days of traveling, Ye Chenfeng kept a low profile. Now seeing the fiercely imposing Ding Guangda before him, he really couldn’t fathom where this fool came from.
Ding Guangda, at the late stage of the second heavenly layer of the Creation Realm, didn’t take Ye Chenfeng seriously at all. In his view, Ye Chenfeng only had the strength at the middle stage of the first heavenly layer of the Creation Realm, insufficient to make him feel threatened.
Nevertheless, Ding Guangda was curious about Ye Chenfeng’s identity. Given his young age and strength, Ding Guangda thought Ye Chenfeng might have some background.
But encountering him today during his business, in Ding Guangda’s eyes, Ye Chenfeng must die.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s calm demeanor, Ding Guangda’s lips curled into a sinister smile, "Kid, I don’t care who you are. Aren’t you afraid? You’re about to meet the King of Hell."
Ye Chenfeng’s calmness greatly displeased Ding Guangda.
Not far from Ye Chenfeng, Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er stopped, their faces filled with not only panic but also regret, feeling they’ve implicated Ye Chenfeng, an innocent man.
Yu Wenxuan steadied his emotions and shouted at Ding Guangda, "Let this senior go, and we, the siblings, will let you handle us as you see fit."
Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er could sense Ye Chenfeng’s strength, which was much greater than theirs. Yu Wenxuan addressing Ye Chenfeng as ’senior’ was appropriate, as the Earth Profound Realm values power above all.
Although Ye Chenfeng had the strength at the middle stage of the first heavenly layer of the Creation Realm, Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er didn’t believe Ye Chenfeng could defeat Ding Guangda.
Hearing Yu Wenxuan’s plea for Ye Chenfeng, Ding Guangda laughed loudly, "Hahaha, do you think you still have the right to negotiate with me? It’s simply your bad luck, and for seeing things you shouldn’t have. You three can travel the Road to Netherworld together and keep each other company."
Ding Guangda’s expression grew increasingly ferocious, and his body suddenly erupted with the aura of the late stage of the second heavenly layer of the Creation Realm. The two middle-aged men behind him stood respectfully; only Ding Guangda was needed to deal with Ye Chenfeng.
As his aura erupted, Ding Guangda drew a large black axe from his waist. The axe emitted a thick murderous aura, indicating Ding Guangda had killed many with it before.
Ye Chenfeng’s expression remained calm and unruffled. With a "swish," he also drew the Black Xuan Sword from his back. Ding Guangda was just an ordinary late stage second heavenly layer Creation Realm expert; his combat strength and speed couldn’t be that strong.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng draw a huge black sword, Ding Guangda licked his lips and said, "Nine strong cultivators at the first heavenly layer of the Creation Realm have died under my axe. Today, you will be the tenth."
As he finished speaking.
Spiritual energy erupted beneath Ding Guangda’s feet as he instantly darted towards Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng stood motionless, his spiritual energy quickly flowing into the Black Xuan Sword, constantly transforming into the sword’s edge.
This scene, witnessed by Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er, led them to believe Ye Chenfeng was scared stiff by Ding Guangda’s speed, forgetting to mount a counterattack.
Yu Wenxuan sighed. Initially, seeing Ye Chenfeng so composed and assured, he thought Ye Chenfeng might have some hidden cards. Now, it seemed he overthought things. Anxiously, he said, "Wan’er, seems we’re destined to die here."
Yu Wan’er, unwaveringly watching Ye Chenfeng, wrinkled her nose, showing a hint of unwillingness on her pale face. She said, "Brother, we dragged him into this. He’s likely over twenty but possesses the strength at the middle stage of the first heavenly layer of the Creation Realm. He must belong to a major sect."
Ding Guangda’s two Divine Thought Realm subordinates looked on unsurprised. After all, overcoming someone of a higher realm is something only the prodigies in top sects can achieve. They didn’t believe Ye Chenfeng was any prodigy of a top sect.
Holding the black giant axe, Ding Guangda’s figure appeared in front of Ye Chenfeng. The grin on his face became more sinister as he swung the massive black axe toward Ye Chenfeng’s head, as if to split Ye Chenfeng entirely in half.
Yet Ye Chenfeng’s expression remained incomparably calm, and the golden mouse Xiaojin perched on Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder waved its paws at Ding Guangda while chittering.
Ding Guangda’s aura rose once again, and the black giant axe in his hand possessed a force as sharp as breaking bamboo. He shouted, "Kid, report to Yama’s Palace now!"
However! At this moment!
The Black Xuan Sword in Ye Chenfeng’s right hand moved, one slash cutting toward Ding Guangda’s giant axe: "One Sword Shatters the Sky!"
Ye Chenfeng had cultivated the first technique of Heavy Sword No Edge to the Great Achievement Realm.
On the side, Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er saw Ye Chenfeng now awakening, and they could not help but shake their heads in despair. They knew Ye Chenfeng certainly couldn’t block Ding Guangda’s giant axe because Ye Chenfeng’s sword seemed too ordinary.
Ding Guangda’s two subordinates at the Divine Thought Realm also spoke disdainfully.
"This kid will definitely be chopped in half by Sir Ding; it’s his bad luck showing up here!"
"I think this kid’s strength is wasted; he was so scared that he forgot to fight back earlier. What good is reacting now? If he had countered from the start, he might have lasted a few moves under Sir Ding! This kind of character, all strength and no backbone, is destined to achieve nothing."
...
However.
When Ye Chenfeng unleashed One Sword Shatters the Sky.
Facing Ye Chenfeng’s sword, Ding Guangda was drenched in cold sweat internally.
As Ye Chenfeng swung the sword.
There was an oppressive aura that covered the world, making it impossible for Ding Guangda to evade; only now did Ding Guangda realize he had underestimated his opponent.
In the eyes of others, One Sword Shatters the Sky appeared to be just an ordinary slash, but only the person facing it could truly sense its power.
Ding Guangda gritted his teeth and pushed his aura to its limit, shouting, "Kid, stop putting on airs before me!"
"Clang!" A sound rang out.
The Black Xuan Sword collided with the black giant axe.
The blade of the Black Xuan Sword flowed through the black giant axe into Ding Guangda’s body.
Immediately, Ding Guangda felt a swelling sensation throughout his body, his face changed drastically, and he wanted to dispel this swelling force.
But it was already too late.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Blood mist erupted from every part of Ding Guangda’s body.
Finally, a loud explosion came from within his black giant axe.
Ding Guangda’s meridians were completely severed in an instant, and he collapsed to the ground, becoming utterly incapacitated.
Ye Chenfeng’s face remained indifferent, and he said, "Why? Tell me why you insisted on seeking abuse? I’ve always wanted to act low-key, and I didn’t want to interfere in your petty affairs."
"Why did you force me? Are you hurrying to report to Yama’s Palace, or did you get kicked in the head by a mule when you left home today? Truly senseless."
Ding Guangda, with his meridians ruptured, heard these words and his face turned red as blood spurted from his mouth, infuriated to the point of vomiting blood by Ye Chenfeng.
Had he known Ye Chenfeng was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, even given a hundred guts, Ding Guangda wouldn’t have provoked Ye Chenfeng. Now, he felt like crying without tears, as his plan to kill Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er and return home was ruined, instead becoming utterly broken himself. Why did he seek such self-abuse?
As for Yu Wenxuan and Yu Wan’er, the sibling duo stood with wide eyes, mouths agape, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.
Ding Guangda was finished by Ye Chenfeng in one strike?
Yet Ye Chenfeng was clearly much weaker than Ding Guangda.
Wasn’t that beyond amazing?
