Chapter 1637: Chapter 1626: One Breath! One Kill!
When the Great Elder Jiang Tongde had just approached Shui Hongfu.
Ziyun Auction House second floor.
Inside the VIP room where Ye Chenfeng was located.
"Bang!" The door of the VIP room was heavily pushed open.
Three middle-aged men walked in, all of them were at the peak level of the Fifth Heaven of the Creation Realm in terms of strength.
The leader of the three had an aura much stronger than the other two, seemingly on the verge of advancing into the Reincarnation Realm soon.
The moment this leading middle-aged man saw Ye Chenfeng, the anger in his heart exploded instantly, veins on his forehead throbbed slightly, his hands clenched into fists, and a murderous intent emanated from him.
This leading middle-aged man was named Jiang Xingcheng, he was Jiang Tongde’s son, and also the father of Jiang Junqian and Jiang Junhua. So facing Ye Chenfeng, who killed his sons, Jiang Xingcheng naturally couldn’t suppress the fury in his heart.
Jiang Xingcheng already had one foot into the Reincarnation Realm, just one step away from completely advancing to the First Heaven of the Reincarnation Realm.
Behind Jiang Xingcheng, the other two middle-aged men, who were also at the peak of the Fifth Heaven of the Creation Realm, were trusted confidants cultivated by the Great Elder’s faction of the Shuis. They were deeply trusted by Jiang Tongde and Jiang Xingcheng.
Ye Chenfeng, who was originally sitting idly on a chair, suddenly saw Jiang Xingcheng and the other two walk into the room, and with the undisguised murderous aura on Jiang Xingcheng, even a fool could tell they came with ill intentions.
With the Black Xuan Sword hanging on his back, Ye Chenfeng immediately stood up from the chair, his brows furrowed in an instant, and the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians was ready to be activated at any time.
Ye Chenfeng was at the Middle Stage of the First Heaven of the Creation Realm in terms of power, and since he didn’t deliberately hide his strength, Jiang Xingcheng and the other two easily saw through Ye Chenfeng’s capacity.
Jiang Xingcheng’s two sons died in the Ancient God Demon Tomb, and the killer stood right before him. He was eager to deal with Ye Chenfeng immediately, but his father Jiang Tongde had instructed him not to let Ye Chenfeng die too cheaply, but to let Ye Chenfeng live in extreme pain every day.
With a tumbling aura, Jiang Xingcheng didn’t worry at all about the matters downstairs today, as his father together with the Faceless Monk, Shui Hongfu, the Family Head of the Shuis, simply couldn’t withstand the joint attack from them.
Jiang Xingcheng focused his gloomy gaze on Ye Chenfeng and coldly exclaimed, "Kid, when you killed my two sons in the ruins, you should have anticipated today. You will pay the price for everything you have done."
"A mere kid at the Middle Stage of the First Heaven of the Creation Realm, my father is being overly cautious. To deal with someone like you, I alone am enough."
"Kid, you better not kneel and beg for mercy, otherwise I’ll really lose interest. I’ll slowly cripple your cultivation, and then cripple your limbs, letting you live in despair every single day from now on."
Jiang Xingcheng’s expression on his face was terrifyingly twisted, clearly not expecting Ye Chenfeng to stir up any significant trouble.
With the Black Xuan Sword hanging on his back, Ye Chenfeng now guessed the identity of the opponent, realizing that Jiang Xingcheng was likely Jiang Junqian and Jiang Junhua’s father.
With Jiang Xingcheng now swaggering in to attack him here, Ye Chenfeng was certain that Shui Hongfu and others were in trouble.
Ye Chenfeng only had the Middle Stage power of the First Heaven of the Creation Realm. Although Jiang Xingcheng and the others weren’t the genius disciples of a top sect, the gap in strength between the two sides was still too big, and if a fight broke out, Ye Chenfeng would definitely not be a match for Jiang Xingcheng and his companions.
Of course, Ye Chenfeng could also hide in the small world within the Chaos Ring, but he didn’t want to avoid confrontation. To tread the path of a strong man, he had to crush everyone blocking his way beneath his feet.
Ye Chenfeng casually planted the Black Xuan Sword into the ground.
His consciousness communicated with the Chaos Ring.
The Meteoric Flame Sword instantly appeared in Ye Chenfeng’s right hand, facing three peak-level Fifth Heaven Creation Realm experts, he must treat the situation cautiously. After setting down the Black Xuan Sword, spiritual energy circulation within Ye Chenfeng’s body accelerated considerably.
The appearance of the Meteoric Flame Sword instantly filled the air with heat.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng enter combat mode, Jiang Xingcheng clenched his teeth and coldly remarked, "Kid, it seems you’re still unclear about the situation? Even with half a foot already in the Reincarnation Realm, I alone can kill you hundreds of times over, let alone the two peak-level Fifth Heaven Creation Realm assistants by my side."
Holding the Meteoric Flame Sword, Ye Chenfeng’s gaze sharpened as he coolly replied, "Half a foot in the Reincarnation Realm merely means you haven’t crossed into the Reincarnation Realm yet. In essence, you’re still at the peak of the Fifth Heaven of the Creation Realm."
"As long as you haven’t entered the Reincarnation Realm, why should I fear you?"
Back when on top of the Yinming Sect, Ye Chenfeng absorbed the Evil Qi within Jiang Motian, temporarily awakening the Hell Demon Eye.
However, Ye Chenfeng could only utilize the Hell Demon Eye for ten breaths, having already used up seven breaths when he killed the Great Elder and others of the Yinming Sect on top of the Yinming Sect at that time.
Ye Chenfeng still had three breaths to awaken the Hell Demon Eye now.
Ye Chenfeng could grasp some confidence in killing Jiang Xingcheng and the others within the span of three breaths.
After all, the Hell Demon Eye that Ye Chenfeng exhibited now could at most affect experts at the peak level of the Fifth Heaven of the Creation Realm.
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s extraordinarily arrogant words, Jiang Xingcheng’s complexion grew even more fiercely contorted. He fiercely took a step forward, his imposing aura madly pressing down toward Ye Chenfeng, causing Ye Chenfeng’s expression to immediately become somewhat grim.
Meanwhile, the other two powerhouses at the peak of the fifth level of the Creation Realm quickly followed, blocking Ye Chenfeng’s escape route.
Ye Chenfeng took two steps back, prompting Jiang Xingcheng to scoff disdainfully, "Kid, in front of me, Jiang Xingcheng, you have no right to be arrogant."
Retreating, Ye Chenfeng immediately activated the Demon Heaven Art within him.
The power within Ye Chenfeng’s body instantly gathered in his eyes: "Hell’s Demon Eyes, awaken!"
Ye Chenfeng’s eyes instantly turned pitch black, resembling demons from hell.
Ye Chenfeng’s Hell’s Demon Eyes swiftly glanced at Jiang Xingcheng and the other two.
Staring into Ye Chenfeng’s Hell’s Demon Eyes, the bodies of Jiang Xingcheng and his two companions stiffened, their imposing auras dissipating completely.
Jiang Xingcheng and the other two were trapped in an incredibly realistic and horrifying illusory realm, which felt so real that they could not escape from it.
Fear immediately covered the faces of Jiang Xingcheng and his two companions. As Jiang Xingcheng fell into the illusory realm, he took two panicked steps back.
Ye Chenfeng did not want to waste any time.
Due to Jiang Xingcheng taking two steps back, he was now the furthest from Ye Chenfeng.
The first breath after the awakening of the Hell’s Demon Eyes.
Wielding the Meteoric Flame Sword, Ye Chenfeng pierced the throat of one of the middle-aged men at the peak of the fifth level of the Creation Realm.
The second breath after the awakening of the Hell’s Demon Eyes.
The Meteoric Flame Sword pierced through the neck of another expert at the peak of the fifth level of the Creation Realm.
The third breath after the awakening of the Hell’s Demon Eyes, and the final one.
Jiang Xingcheng, having almost stepped into the Reincarnation Realm, managed to break free from the illusory realm of the Hell’s Demon Eyes through sheer willpower. However, Jiang Xingcheng was momentarily unable to muster the aura within him and could only keep retreating.
Ye Chenfeng had no intention of chasing him. Instead, he activated the second-grade Fire Sword Intent within him, and the Meteoric Flame Sword in his hand swung out, a blazing Sword Qi slashed toward Jiang Xingcheng’s throat.
Jiang Xingcheng, barely breaking free from the illusory realm of the Hell’s Demon Eyes, had no time to circulate the Spiritual Qi River within his body’s meridians to defend himself.
Seeing the scorching Sword Qi drawing closer, Jiang Xingcheng’s eyes widened slightly, a trace of regret appeared on his face as he realized he couldn’t dodge it in time. In bewilderment, he said, "Fire Sword Intent? Are you the Mysterious Noble?"
There were very few who comprehended the Fire Sword Intent in the Earth Profound Realm, and the recently rumored Mysterious Noble was known for mastering both the Fire Sword Intent and the Phoenix Profound Meaning. This was known throughout the Earth Profound Realm.
Ye Chenfeng said indifferently, "You answered correctly."
Jiang Xingcheng’s eyes widened even further.
A swift "swish" sound was heard.
The scorching Sword Qi swept past, and Jiang Xingcheng’s expression froze, his mouth slightly agape as if he still had words left unsaid.
A "bang" was heard.
Yet, Jiang Xingcheng’s head had already hit the ground.
The third breath ended.
Although Jiang Xingcheng barely escaped the illusory realm of the Hell’s Demon Eyes, he still perished beneath Ye Chenfeng’s sword.
Ye Chenfeng’s pitch-black eyes returned to their normal color. The time for the awakening of the Hell’s Demon Eyes had completely run out, indicating that he must absorb more Evil Qi in the future.
Meanwhile.
In the hall on the first floor of the Ziyun Auction House.
Shui Hongfu and Jiang Tongde, along with others, were in a standoff. Shui Hongfu could not worry about much else; he had to go to the second floor to rescue Ye Chenfeng. Just as Shui Hongfu was about to make a move.
Jiang Tongde sneered, "Don’t waste your effort; that boy must have already been crippled by my son. Daring to kill my two grandsons is a price he must pay."
