Chapter 1604: Chapter 1595: Awakening of the Seventh-Level Unyielding Sword Intent
Jiang Motian is dead!
Song Chunmei is also dead!
And it happened on the very day of the Saint Heir competition of the Yinming Sect, which was like a harsh slap across their faces without a doubt.
You must know, Jiang Motian was the chosen Saint Heir of the Yinming Sect.
And Song Chunmei was the fifth-ranked Elder among the five Great Elders of the Yinming Sect.
Song Longtian, the son of the former Supreme Elder of the Hall of Sea Gods, Song Haiyun, felt his rage burning fiercely.
In Song Longtian’s eyes, Jiang Motian was meant to be his future right-hand man, but now Jiang Motian’s innate Fiend Body was wasted, and he was dead.
Moreover, Song Chunmei was Song Haiyun’s illegitimate daughter. In essence, Song Chunmei and Song Longtian were blood relatives, and although there was almost no familial affection between him and Song Chunmei, he still couldn’t tolerate Ye Chenfeng killing Song Chunmei.
The Supreme Elder of the Hall of Sea Gods, Chen Hejiang, narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze on Ye Chenfeng. Everything about Ye Chenfeng was too captivating, and he had resolved to uncover the secrets Ye Chenfeng held, even if it meant going to war with the Yunxian Sect or Sunset Island.
The Sect Master of the Refining Sect, Wang Zhenshan, had been eyeing the Meteoric Flame Sword in Ye Chenfeng’s hand with utmost fervor, recognizing the sword’s material as made of the legendary Ten-Thousand-Year Meteoric Flame.
This material alone was enough to drive an Artifact Refiner like Wang Zhenshan to madness.
The Old Ancestor of the Spiritual Medicine Valley, Du Beinian, together with Sect Master Nan Haosheng, were also intently gazing at Ye Chenfeng. They had clearly taken notice of the heaven-defying elixir pills Ye Chenfeng had consumed.
However, both Du Beinian and Nan Haosheng felt a sense of familiarity with Ye Chenfeng’s voice but couldn’t pinpoint where they had heard it before.
Neither of them associated Ye Chenfeng with the person who had destroyed Medicine King City back then, especially since Ye Chenfeng had worn a mask at the time.
Back when the Elder of the Refining Sect, Zhu Wenchang, competed in artifact refining with Ye Chenfeng and ended up dead at his hands, Ye Chenfeng’s image had been sent to the Refining Sect along with Elder Tianhuo.
At that time, Wang Zhenshan believed the matter to be solely orchestrated by Elder Tianhuo, and thus he had paid little attention to the image of a small character like Ye Chenfeng, failing to recognize him now.
As for the loose cultivators, True Man Chihuo and True Man Chiyan, they had previously been benefitted by the Refining Sect and Spiritual Medicine Valley. They had come to Yinming Sect just to watch the spectacle.
Ye Chenfeng, holding the Meteoric Flame Sword, fixed his gaze on the Yinming Sect Master Li Bei’ao and said, "Are you still unwilling to let Xin Yi leave with me? Do you so-called prestigious sects mean to say your words are nothing but hot air?"
Li Bei’ao’s face turned beet red; just as he was about to concede, Song Longtian spoke up, "Sect Master Li, isn’t this kid too arrogant? Today is the Saint Heir competition of the Yinming Sect, and he’s behaving so presumptuously here; I think you ought to take him down."
The Supreme Elder of the Hall of Sea Gods, Chen Hejiang, also chimed in, "Right, right, if anyone dares to cause trouble, I’m willing to lend the Yinming Sect a hand."
Chen Hejiang glanced over to Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an, standing not far behind Ye Chenfeng, with intent.
The Sect Master of the Refining Sect, Wang Zhenshan, also made his stance clear, "Sect Master Li, indeed, this matter requires the boy to give us an explanation."
Following suit, the Old Ancestor of the Spiritual Medicine Valley, Du Beinian, also said, "Sect Master Li, we will all help support your Yinming Sect."
The twin old men, True Man Chihuo and True Man Chiyan, also spoke up, "Since the Refining Sect and Spiritual Medicine Valley have taken a stand, we two old men will stand with the Yinming Sect today as well."
The Yinming Sect Master, Li Bei’ao, exhaled slowly and, looking at Ye Chenfeng with a sinister smile, declared, "Boy, today you must kneel and apologize to me. Then, you’ll be imprisoned within our Yinming Sect for ten years."
"After ten years, our Yinming Sect will naturally let you leave."
Li Bei’ao knew well these dignitaries spoke up, undoubtedly for the secrets Ye Chenfeng held.
Li Bei’ao positioned Lin Xinyi, whose acupoints had been sealed, behind him, fearing Ye Chenfeng might attempt to rescue her.
Ye Chenfeng gripped the Meteoric Flame Sword tightly. As long as he could retreat into the small world of the Chaos Ring, he would be safe.
However, Ye Chenfeng could not leave Lin Xinyi behind. Who knew if the people present would direct their fury at Lin Xinyi once he left?
The distance between Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi was still too vast for him to pull her into the Chaos Ring’s small world.
Just as Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an were about to stand beside Ye Chenfeng,
True Man Chihuo and True Man Chiyan moved from their prime seats, instantly blocking Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an’s path.
It was known that True Man Chihuo and True Man Chiyan possessed a late stage power of the Second Heavenly Layer Nirvana Realm, while Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an were only in the First Heavenly Layer Nirvana Realm.
"You two cannot take another step closer," True Man Chihuo stated leisurely.
True Man Chiyan added, "Today’s matter involves the Yinming Sect alone, so let the Yinming Sect handle it. If you two wish to intervene, we won’t mind stepping in ourselves."
The Supreme Elder of the Hall of Sea Gods, Chen Hejiang, chuckled and said, "Right, today’s situation is between the Yinming Sect and the boy. Should anyone decide to intervene, don’t blame us for using greater strength against fewer numbers."
After all, there were other sect leaders and disciples present! Some superficial words had to be spoken, showing the hypocrisy of these so-called prestigious sects.
Though they clearly coveted Ye Chenfeng’s secrets and intended to use greater numbers to overwhelm him, they still dressed it up with such righteousness.
As for Zuo Feibai and Wu Lifen, given their power, they wouldn’t be much help in this situation.
As Chen Hejiang finished, four elders who occupied seats on the lower left side stood up; they were the other four among the five Great Elders of the Yinming Sect.
Among them, the Second Elder of the Yinming Sect, Lin Lei, stepped forward first. He saw this as a prime opportunity to make a good impression on these dignitaries for his benefit.
Lin Lei roared in blatant anger, "Boy, aren’t you going to kneel and apologize yet?"
Lin Lei, with a Peak Creation Realm four-layer sky capability, infused his roar with tremendous pressure.
The other three elders realized they were too slow in their reactions as Lin Lei made his move.
Li Bei’ao nodded in satisfaction seeing Second Elder Lin Lei take action, as today was indeed a matter of the Yinming Sect, which should be handled by members of their sect to maintain face.
Although Ye Chenfeng was capable of killing Song Chunmei, taking down a Peak Creation Realm Four-layer Lin Lei seemed impossible.
This Lin Lei knows a pressure combat skill, allowing him to convert all his spiritual energy into pressure, forcing enemies to submit.
The pressure surged wave after wave, like a fierce tide.
Ye Chenfeng instantly felt as though a massive mountain was pressing down on him, and the gravity intensified continuously.
"Bang! Bang!"
The ground beneath Ye Chenfeng’s feet shattered instantly, and his knees bent slightly.
Li Bei’ao, seated at the head, laughed and said, "Not bad, now you finally understand to kneel and apologize. There’s still hope for you yet."
Li Bei’ao was clearly trying to cover up the truth. It was obvious Lin Lei was forcing Ye Chenfeng to kneel, yet it was portrayed as if Ye Chenfeng willingly knelt to apologize?
The sect masters and disciples from the surrounding sects all thought that the actions of the Yinming Sect were utterly shameless.
Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an wanted to intervene, but if they acted, not only would the Redfire True Man and Flaming True Man get involved, but the others at the head would also have a justified reason to take action.
Just as Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an were uncertain about what to do,
Ye Chenfeng, whose knees were bending more and more, gritted his teeth, fresh blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. His gaze was as cold as a fierce beast’s as he glared at Lin Lei, shouting, "What right do you have to make me kneel?"
"I, Ye Chenfeng, kneel neither to heaven nor earth. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he wouldn’t withstand my kneeling."
Ye Chenfeng’s unyielding spirit was instantly ignited.
At that moment, the unyielding sword intent seed within his dantian began to shimmer faintly.
When the Sword God, He Wuji, implanted the unyielding sword intent seed in Ye Chenfeng’s dantian in the ancient divine and demon tomb, he had said that if Ye Chenfeng could trigger the seed, he would instantly comprehend the seventh-level unyielding sword intent.
The prominent figures at the head were mocking Ye Chenfeng, thinking that at this point, he was still trying to gain the upper hand with words?
After all, Ye Chenfeng only had the strength of the middle stage of the first heavenly layer of the Creation Realm.
"What a clueless little brat," Song Longtian said in a low voice.
The Second Elder of the Yinming Sect, Lin Lei, immediately intensified the pressure, coldly saying, "Kid, you’re quite capable, aren’t you? If you’re so capable, why don’t you kill me? I’m right here, and I doubt you can even take a single step forward now."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The ground beneath Ye Chenfeng’s feet continued to fracture, the pressure on him growing ever heavier. Blood seeped from the pores in his skin, and his eyes turned entirely scarlet.
Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an could no longer hold back; they were ready to act no matter the cost, shouting, "Master!"
And at that very moment,
Ye Chenfeng’s knees, which had been bending, gradually straightened, his bones making cracking sounds as he went. An unyielding obstinance appeared on his face as he shouted, "I said it already, you are not qualified to make me kneel."
Blood streamed from Ye Chenfeng’s nose, ears, and eyes.
Yet an aura of unyielding willpower enveloped Ye Chenfeng.
His entire form stood straighter and straighter.
This led Lin Lei to shout again, "Kneel before me!"
Lin Lei intensified the pressure again.
Ye Chenfeng was suddenly subjected to much greater pressure, the sword intent seed in his dantian cracked open, and a brown light enveloped his dantian. Ye Chenfeng felt as though he instantly comprehended the seventh-level unyielding sword intent.
The unyielding aura within Ye Chenfeng became sharper and more fierce.
At this moment, he felt a sense of supremacy over all.
With the seventh-level unyielding sword intent in motion, he swung the Meteoric Flame Sword in his hand almost naturally: "Unyielding Sword Intent!"
A vast, unyielding sword qi erupted from the Meteoric Flame Sword.
The sword qi released by the unyielding sword intent was extremely swift.
In a flash of brown light,
The pressure on Ye Chenfeng vanished abruptly.
But the Second Elder of the Yinming Sect, Lin Lei, stood motionless in place with a blood mark appearing on his neck.
The blood mark kept expanding.
With a "bang!"
Lin Lei’s head rolled to the ground.
Blood spurted forth.
Lin Lei was dead!
The formidable Lin Lei of the peak of the fourth heavenly layer of the Creation Realm was slain by Ye Chenfeng in a single stroke?
The expressions of calm on the faces of the prominent figures at the head had yet to fade.
Lin Lei’s head lay quietly on the ground, a sharp mockery for them!
