Revenge for His Son

The only thing that worried him slightly was that the brat's strength in the end had indeed caught him off guard. But it was only his Martial Skills that were powerful; that did not mean he had an impressive backer. If he truly had one, he would have long since brought out some treasure to crush him and everyone else.

As Feng Xing was thinking this, the friends at his side raised their cups to him. He stopped dwelling on other matters and happily drank with the crowd, just about to say something...

After placing Feng Xing and the other man into the Small Space, you immediately left Jingzhou Prefecture and arrived in Qingzhou, Sui State. Upon reaching an inn, you looked at a late-stage Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist who was drinking. With a wave of your hand, he vanished from the spot and entered the Small Space in your palm.

After crushing the final early-stage Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist to death in the Sleeve Universe, you finally flew toward the Flowing Sand Sect. Upon arriving in the Flowing Sand Sect's territory, you saw Luo Cheng, dressed in gray and wearing an utterly unrestrained expression, waiting for you outside the sect.

"Ye Feng of the Ye Family, I wasn't wrong, was I? We meet again." Luo Cheng sneered.

"You knew I would come to the Flowing Sand Sect, so you should also know what I came for." Upon seeing Luo Cheng's sneer, you suddenly no longer felt as angry as before. You appeared even calmer.

"If you want to take back the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, then I advise you to go back. You cannot take this thing away." After Luo Cheng spoke firmly, he paused for a moment.

Then he continued, "After all, I obtained it from your family. I can compensate you with something, but this strand of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi originally belonged to the Quicksand Land. It should belong to my Flowing Sand Sect. Therefore, I did not rob you of anything. It can only be said that someone from your family took it from my home, and I merely took it back."

You remained very calm in the face of Luo Cheng's endless babbling and said lightly, "Finished? If you're finished, then let's fight. Today, only one of us will return. Either you die, or I... Well, I definitely won't die, so I'll have to ask you to die instead!"

After saying that, you opened your domain. With you at its center, snowflakes instantly blanketed a radius of ten li. Within those ten li, it was as though deep winter had arrived. Heaven and earth fell silent, the temperature plummeted, and heavy snow even began to fall from the sky.

When Luo Cheng saw you open your domain, he found it somewhat unbelievable that you actually dared to attack him. But clearly, this was not the time to think about that. He immediately unleashed his own domain. With him at its center, a radius of seven li was gradually engulfed by flowing sand. Yet it stopped just before reaching you. Clearly, your domain was more powerful than his, though it could not directly cause a drastic decline in his strength; it could only suppress part of his Mental Energy.

"How is this possible!"

Luo Cheng could hardly believe it. He had entered the Half-Saint realm more than ten thousand years ago—how could his domain be inferior to yours? But with the truth laid before him, he had no choice but to believe it. After regaining his senses, he was just about to say something to you...

Before Luo Cheng could speak, you had already taken out the Heavenly Mechanism Chessboard and activated its second ability, Heavenly Mechanism Predicament. A gigantic chessboard instantly appeared where Luo Cheng stood. White and black pieces fell from the sky around it, and whenever a white piece connected with a black piece, a fierce blast of air surged toward Luo Cheng.

Those blasts slowed Luo Cheng's movements, and even his consciousness gradually became sluggish. By the time he reacted, he saw only a massive palm before him. At the center of that palm was a black void, releasing a powerful suction force that sought to drag him into its grasp.

Clearly, nothing good would happen if he entered that void. Luo Cheng had no intention of sitting still and waiting for death. He immediately took out a High-grade Heaven Grade Treasure Artifact. It was shaped like a Buddhist wooden fish. After he activated it, a pale golden bowl-shaped barrier appeared around him. Once the barrier emerged, Luo Cheng felt that the suction had become less intense and let out a breath of relief. However, the blasts created by the chessboard were still striking the barrier. At this rate, a few more blasts would shatter it.

At that moment, Luo Cheng saw you flying toward him. At some unknown point, a massive blade three zhang long had appeared in your hand. The handle alone was longer than a person, making it look somewhat comical, yet also incomparably domineering.

Although you held a three-zhang-long blade, it seemed weightless in your hands. You looked at Luo Cheng in the distance. Terror covered his face as he stared at you. You felt not the slightest pity and slashed out a white Blade Light at him. Its color was white beyond all white, a pure and ultimate whiteness. The chilling aura it radiated was just like its color—it froze the heart, devoid of even a trace of emotion.

Two hours later, you looked at Luo Cheng's head beneath your feet and found it somewhat dull. You had thought a Half-Saint could fight you for a little longer, but he had turned out to be a silver spear with a wax tip—impressive in appearance but useless in practice. This man did not even possess a single Half-Saint Artifact, making this trip seem like it had brought you no gains.

What you did not know was that Luo Cheng had originally possessed two Half-Saint Artifacts, but he had traded them both for the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Only by relying on the power of that strand of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had he broken through to the Half-Saint realm. In the more than ten thousand years afterward, he had never again encountered such an opportunity, nor had he obtained any decent treasures.

Moreover, aside from those from sacred lands, not every Half-Saint Grade Great Power possessed a Half-Saint Artifact. For an Artifact Refiner to create a Half-Saint Artifact, they needed to give the artifact an artifact spirit. If the artifact spirit creation failed, then even if it was forged from Half-Saint Grade materials, it could only become a Heaven Grade Treasure Artifact and could not be called a Half-Saint Artifact.

When fighting others, one only needed to leave a sliver of Mental Energy within a Sacred Artifact or Half-Saint Artifact and supply it with a trace of vital energy. A Half-Saint Artifact could usually fight independently, as though one had gained an extra companion in battle. Its impact on the tide of a fight was enormous.

After collecting all of Luo Cheng's belongings, you carried his head to the Flowing Sand Sect and forced the sect's disciples to swear a Martial Oath that they would not avenge Luo Cheng or harm any member of the Ye Family. Once you had dealt with these matters, you had the Flowing Sand Sect Master lead you to the sect's treasure vault.

At first, the Flowing Sand Sect Master was unwilling to take you there. But when he looked at Luo Cheng's head in your hand, he feared that you would make him go meet the Grand Elder. In the end, he compromised. Even though he knew this amounted to selling out his sect, compared to his own little life, his life was still more important.
