Chapter 9: A Frightening Blow

  Looking at the young man opposite him, Ye Fei frowned and said in a low voice: "What do you mean? Why are you blocking my way?"

  Upon hearing this, the ferocious-looking youth opposite him let out a "heh" and actually started laughing.

  "Hmph, are you an idiot? Appearing here, of course, is to rob you disciples who have returned from training at Qian Duan Cliff. Looking at you alone, your fellow disciples should all have been swallowed by the demon beast, right? Your body is covered in blood, it seems that you've also suffered some injuries. Hand over your treasures obediently and I'll let you off." The vicious youth sneered.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Fei's mind quickly turned and he said in a low voice: "We have never met before, yet you want to rob me of my belongings. What is the difference between you and a bandit?"

  As soon as this was said, it actually left the young man opposite him somewhat speechless. He himself was clearly a bandit, hadn't this kid ever seen the world?

  "This is it, you can understand it however you want. Anyway, we're just doing this job. Don't waste words, hand over the stuff and we'll let you go. You seem pretty honest too." The ferocious-looking youth opposite him said with some helplessness.

  "It seems you've robbed many lone cultivators, doesn't it? The Thousand Cliff is already extremely perilous, why don't you go treasure hunting yourself? Yet here you are, doing these despicable things?" Ye Fei rebuked with some warmth in his tone. However, his divine sense had long been quietly released, guarding against this person's sudden sneak attack.

  After hearing Ye Fei's words, the ferocious youth was taken aback at first, but immediately flashed with anger and said fiercely: "Hmph, dare to teach me a lesson, what are you? Who says I haven't been to Qian Duan Cliff?"

  In his youth, Laozi was also robbed by others. He chased after them until he fell into a cliff and suffered serious injuries. However, this led to some unexpected opportunities, and he escaped again, killing his enemies and then specializing in robbing others.

  Don't harbor any illusions, I'll tell you the truth, my sworn enemies were all at the 8th level of Qi cultivation, and they've all been killed by me. What's more, you're just a 7th level Qi cultivator, still young, it's better for you to spare your life. Hand over the treasure obediently."

  As soon as this was said, it actually stirred up a bit of arrogance in Ye Fei. Both were at the seventh level of Qi training, how could he easily admit defeat and hand over the treasure? After all, both of them were still young and vigorous.

  "Oh, if you're going to say that, then I'll come and experience it for myself. Let's see what makes you think you can rob me of my treasure." With that, Ye Fei slapped his waist, and with a whooshing sound, a streak of light shot out, spinning around before suddenly materializing into a green long sword in mid-air.

  At the sight, the young man opposite him flashed a stern expression on his face and smiled lightly: "Primary stage artifact? Heh heh, indeed there is treasure. Since you refuse to drink the toast and eat the penalty wine, don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless, humph."

  Immediately afterwards, the ferocious youth released a silver long spear. After one incantation was thrown out, only to see the spear body's silver light flash, with a whooshing sound, it shot towards Ye Fei.

  Ye Fei raised his hand and pointed at the air, with a whooshing sound, Yuan Guang sword flashed once, and then slashed towards the long spear.

  A loud crash.

  A burst of silver mist exploded open, and the two treasures in mid-air were in a stalemate. The surrounding void emitted a humming noise.

  Seeing this, the vicious youth's face did not have a hint of surprise, and he immediately cast another spell, with a "poof" sound, he entered the gun body.

  After a loud hum, the silver long gun flashed and suddenly retreated back. Following the boy's consecutive pointing in mid-air, the long gun flashed again and shot out once more.

  Ye Fei controlled the Yuan Guang sword to hurriedly parry, their cultivation was equal, after several exchanges, both were covered in sweat, and a burst of 'crackling' sounds suddenly exploded in mid-air.

  But as time went on, Ye Fei was clearly at a disadvantage. Yuan Guang's sword in mid-air was no longer as agile as before, and it seemed to be struggling. Several times, he almost broke through the defense with his long spear and struck directly at Ye Fei.

  "Hmph, as expected, you've only just reached the seventh level of cultivation, how can your powers compare to mine? Let's see how long you can last." The vicious youth said with a sneer, but at this moment, he wasn't in a much better situation either, only slightly stronger than Ye Fei.

  "No way, at this rate, I'll really lose to him," Ye Fei muttered to himself as he controlled the Yuanguang sword to resist the long gun, his face showing a hesitant expression.

  Just as Ye Fei was thinking, the vicious young man suddenly exerted his strength, pouring all his spiritual power into the long spear. Under Yuan Guang's desperate resistance, it slowly fell towards Ye Fei's head. It seemed that in the next moment, the spear would chop down on Ye Fei's head.

  Just then, Ye Fei slapped his waist with one hand, and a yellowish light flashed out. Following Ye Fei's somewhat strenuous incantation, a fireball about the size of a foot suddenly materialized in mid-air and shot towards the vicious youth.

  Seeing this, the ferocious youth's face changed, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Not good, a Spirit Symbol? He really is a disciple of a major sect. And not just an ordinary disciple."

  At this time, recalling the long gun to block, it's too late, the power of this spirit symbol is too great, and taking a hit will definitely result in fatal injuries.

  His face showed a momentary hesitation, and then the young man's eyes condensed, as if he had made some kind of determination. With one hand patting his storage bag, a black flash appeared, and a three-foot-long jet-black sword suddenly appeared in front of him.

  The next moment, there was a loud explosion.

  A fierce flame burst open, and the firelight splashed everywhere. The vicious boy didn't seem to control that strange black sword at all, but relying on the power of the black sword itself, it actually withstood the attack of this spiritual symbol. How could this not make Ye Fei astonished?

  The demonic beasts that were summoned during the gathering of nuclei suffered significant injuries from the spiritual symbol attacks. Ordinary magical tools, if not infused with magical power and controlled, would not be able to withstand the considerable might of these spiritual symbols.

  "Haha, although I've never used this treasure before, since obtaining it from the Precipice of a Thousand Perils, I knew that this treasure is not ordinary. Alright, today, let you be the first to witness its power." After finishing speaking, the ferocious youth looked at the black long sword with an excited expression.

  Immediately afterwards, his single-handed seal, the whole body's magic power condensed, and poured into the black sword. Then, towards the direction where Ye Fei was located, a little bit.

  "A" cry of despair.

  A strange scene unfolded, the ferocious youth suddenly clutched his head with both hands, a low growl escaped from his mouth, his face turned pale, and his whole body trembled non-stop, feeling that all his spiritual power was instantly absorbed by that eerie long sword.

  At this moment, Ye Fei's external divine sense suddenly felt a fatal feeling of extreme danger emanating from the black long sword. A wave of unstoppable pressure slowly released. The surrounding area of the black long sword also stirred up a gust of dark wind, emitting a humming sound. The entire sky seemed to darken.

  The next moment, Ye Fei didn't think about it anymore and stopped caring about the outcome of the long spear and Yuan Guang sword's battle. He quickly flashed his body and jumped to the side.

  Right after that, the last bit of magic power in the ferocious youth's body was absorbed by the mysterious black sword. With a 'thud', he finally collapsed to the ground, his face filled with terror as he stared at the jet-black long sword.

  At this time, the strange long sword flashed a weak light in mid-air and burst out with a buzzing sound. At that moment, no one controlled its direction, and after a slight tremble in mid-air, it shot towards the direction where Ye Fei was previously located. Its speed was so fast that it only took a flash to make a 'puff' sound and penetrate into the ground.

  A deafening rumble shook the earth as a massive explosion rocked the ground.

  The ground where Ye Fei was standing suddenly burst open with a loud noise, mud splashing everywhere. In an instant, a deep pit over ten zhang in diameter had formed, and a black long sword was trembling inside the pit, emitting a buzzing sound.

  Although Ye Fei had run far away, he was also affected by the impact and was blown out of several meters. After rolling on the ground for a few times, he barely stabilized his body, his face pale and full of fear as he stared at the huge deep pit.

  "What is this treasure, after all? How can it have such great power?" Ye Fei said with some trepidation, if not for his divine consciousness constantly being on the lookout, sensing that fatal crisis in advance, perhaps by now he would have already been destroyed and reduced to dust.

  After a brief moment, Ye Fei struggled to get up, looked at the vicious boy who was staring blankly into the distance, and flashed a hint of anger on his face. He took step by step towards that boy.

  At this moment, the silver long spear in mid-air and the Yuan Guang sword had already lost control, floating motionless in mid-air.

  When the young man saw Ye Fei approaching him, a look of terror flashed across his face, and he exclaimed: "You, what do you want to do?"

  "What are you doing? If I hadn't dodged quickly, I'm afraid that treasure of yours would have destroyed me by now!" Ye Fei said with a cold smile.

  Upon hearing this, the ferocious youth's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he gazed at the massive deep pit, seemingly muttering to himself: "If I said that even I didn't know it had such power, would you believe me?" After speaking, the youth appeared listless.

  A few steps down, he walked to the young man's side. Ye Fei wiped off the dust on his face and said in a low voice: "You almost took my life, how could I let someone like you, a bandit, live in this world?"

  "Hmph, from the start I didn't intend to kill you, didn't want things to end in bloodshed. Must you push me to the limit?" At this point, the youth finally came back to his senses and furiously shouted at Ye Fei.

  "Oh? Is that so? But you're engaging in banditry, today I'll take justice into my own hands." After finishing speaking, Ye Fei raised his hand and made a gesture towards the air, with a whooshing sound, the Yuan Guang sword shone brightly for an instant, and in a flash, it was slashing down at the vicious young man who had no power to resist.

  Seeing this, the ferocious youth's face changed, and he exclaimed in a startled voice: "Wait, don't kill me! I was lying to you just now. I'll tell the truth." Upon hearing this, Ye Fei's hand movement paused, and the Yuan Guang sword halted at the top of the youth's head. (End of chapter)
