Chapter 90: Murderous Intent

  "Huo Wei? Didn't you go out for training? How did you end up here?" Shi Sheng felt somewhat surprised at Huo Wei's sudden appearance.

  A few steps later, Huo Wei arrived in front of Shi Sheng, smiling gloomily: "Not bad, but I rushed back two months ago. I knew you would hide ahead of time, so I've been waiting for you here for these two months. Remember, this is the only way home!"

  "This is also where you did something bad!" Shi Sheng suddenly remembered the scene of Yue Leng being drugged by Huo Wei that day, which was exactly in this place.

  "Hmph, you little scoundrel, you've ruined my good fortune. I haven't had a chance to settle the score with you until now, and today in this desolate wilderness, you're definitely going to die! But I won't let you die so easily, heh heh!" Huo Wei's eyes narrowed, revealing a sly smile. Now that he had reached the Yuanhe realm, taking down someone in the Huahai realm was as easy as turning his hand over.

  Shi Sheng's heart stirred, previously he hadn't reached the Great Perfection, and was injured by Huo Wei's punch. Now that he had reached the Great Perfection realm and possessed the Void Shadow Mind Branch, his mental power was much stronger than those of the same rank, but compared to Huo Wei's Yuan He realm, Shi Sheng felt he didn't have any advantage at all, nor did he know how strong Yuan He realm actually was. However, on the surface, Shi Sheng dared not reveal anything.

  "Wan Er was deceived by you?" Shi Sheng's face sank as he asked.

  "What's wrong with you, Sister Wan? You're going to die soon, so stop playing around!" Huo Wei looked at Shi Sheng with disdain.

  "That's good, in that case I don't have to worry about anything!" Shi Sheng smiled slightly, although his face was calm, but he was also uncertain in his heart. If his preparations were not enough, he would immediately retreat.

  "I heard that you have a bit of a reputation in the sect, with impressive martial skills. Not only did you kill evil cultivators and obtain honor tokens, but you also suppressed all the other heroes in the competition, and even the younger generation looks up to you as an idol. You really do have quite a reputation!" Huo Wei sneered.

  "Oh, if Elder Hua didn't say so, I wouldn't have known that I had such a big reputation!" Shi Sheng shrugged his shoulders. It wasn't self-boasting, as he rarely interacted with other disciples and truly wasn't aware of his own small fame.

  "Haha, I didn't think you'd still be so calm now, country bumpkin. It seems you really don't know how strong Yuanhe's power is. Today, let me show you." As soon as Huo Wei finished speaking, his figure flashed and he rushed towards Shi Sheng.

  Shi Sheng let out a low growl from his mouth, the joints in his body cracking loudly. With a fierce punch, he struck towards Huo Wei, their two fists heavily colliding with each other.

  Boom!

  The two figures trembled, each retreating three or four steps, their faces slightly red. Hao Wei's face was overcast and unpredictable, never expecting that the mere Huahai realm could be evenly matched with the physical body of the Yuanhe realm.

  Shi Sheng was secretly crying out in pain, his arm numb and tingling, but he didn't dare show it. He fundamentally didn't have the physical strength of Huo Wei, relying solely on the power of his Tiger Fist to barely hold his own against him. If they exchanged another blow, Shi Sheng felt that he would inevitably fall at a disadvantage.

  "Indeed, you have two moves, no wonder Lin Paozi and those people spread rumors about you being extraordinary. With your physical strength, you can actually compare to the Yuanhe realm! However, don't forget that we are not warriors, but cultivators of the mind. In a real fight, who would be foolish enough to engage in close combat with you?" Huo Wei let out a cold laugh, and then his hands moved swiftly, shooting out several wind blades and fireballs.

  Shi Sheng had long been prepared, and three small fireballs had already condensed in front of him. However, the fourth one was not yet fully formed before he reluctantly gave up, controlling the three fireballs to charge towards Feng Jian.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Several loud explosions rang out, and Huo Wei's three wind blades, two fireballs, and Shi Sheng's three fireballs almost simultaneously burst open at the same time. However, after Shi Sheng's small fireball burst open, a blue flame appeared.

  Huo Wei's eyes narrowed, and he had always been somewhat puzzled. Why was Shi Sheng's small fireball so strong? As a Yuanhe realm cultivator, his own magic was unexpectedly evenly matched with Shi Sheng's. Could it be that his other magic was also this powerful?

  "Hmph, did you think that would leave me helpless?" However, Huo Wei didn't know that in reality, Shi Sheng was also unable to withstand the spell's effects, after all, that small fireball was cast too slowly.

  Whoosh! A stream of light shot out, and in mid-air, a blue light flashed, a small sword two inches long appeared in mid-air. Just as Shi Sheng was amazed, he saw Huo Wei raise his hand and point, the blue small sword suddenly became a blue light that pierced the eyes, its size suddenly expanding to three feet long, and then it slashed towards Shi Sheng.

  "Lingbao?" Shi's eyes narrowed, the treasure that could change size at will was certainly not a spiritual instrument. He couldn't help but shake his sleeve, and a blood-red dagger flew out, colliding with the blue flying sword.

  A flash of light, a loud explosion sounded, the pale blue flying sword only paused for a moment before easily knocking the Blood Shadow Dagger away. The Blood Shadow Dagger actually appeared with several cracks on it. With Huo Wei's strength, whether it was the thickness of his spiritual energy or the level of his treasure, he firmly suppressed Shi Sheng.

  "Hah, don't worry, I won't kill you, but I'll cut off your legs!" Huo Wei let out a cold hum, and with one hand, the blue flying sword chopped towards Shi Sheng's legs.

  Shi Sheng's eyes twitched involuntarily, the power of Lingbao was too strong. He hastily raised one hand and a yellow talisman flew out, following Shi Sheng's distant point, the talisman burst open and transformed into a white sword shadow, which was exactly what he had obtained from Xie Xiu's body before.

  A blinding flash of light burst forth, and the blue flying sword collided with the white sword shadow. The two were momentarily locked in a stalemate, but the white sword shadow's radiance flashed wildly, trembling slightly, as if it might be overpowered at any moment.

  "What a rare sword token? You actually possess such a treasure, I didn't expect that, heh heh. However, your cultivation level is too low, and the spiritual energy of the sword token is about to be depleted. You won't be able to withstand the Frost Sword!"

  Huo Wei let out a low shout, and with a surge of his mind, the blue flying sword suddenly flashed with a blue light, sweeping over the white sword shadow. The tip of the white sword shadow was frozen in ice, and it began to spread inch by inch backwards. The light of the white sword shadow also grew increasingly dim, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

  Shi Sheng raised his hand, and a few blood shadows with cracks appeared, trembling slightly before slashing towards Huo Wei. The latter saw this and simply coldly laughed, shaking his head - this kind of attack, he could easily counter with a small fireball in the Yuanhe realm.

  With a movement of his mind, three consecutive wind blades appeared in front of him, shooting out towards the Blood Shadow Dagger. Several explosions sounded out, and the first wind blade immediately burst open, the second wind blade barely resisted for a moment, while the third wind blade steadily blocked the Blood Shadow Dagger.

  "What a great opportunity!" Shi Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he had already made up his mind to kill. With a thought, the silver edge of the Blood Shadow Dagger flashed at the hilt, and nine condensed blood needles shot out without warning, attacking Huo Wei. Since Shi Sheng had decided to kill, he naturally wouldn't hesitate to use poisonous hidden weapons. At such close range, even with his own agility, it would be difficult to dodge.
