Qi Xiu's body lay at his feet, blood still flowing from the sword wound in his chest.
Nangong Wuhen's apple bobbed with difficulty.
The wind in the valley wasn't strong, but his right hand, which was holding the sword, was trembling slightly.
Han Qingshan, Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level.
Qi Xiu, Divine Sea Realm Fifth Layer.
Both were core disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, practicing the sect's orthodox sword techniques, and possessing high- Earth Rank Upper Grade spiritual swords. They would be considered top figures among the younger generation anywhere in the Eastern Continent.
But now, they're all dead.
Chu Yunfei only used two sword strikes.
What terrified Nangong Wuhen even more was that, from beginning to end, the aura released by Chu Yunfei was only at the Divine Sea Realm First Level.
Nangong Wuhen stared intently at the black-clad figure standing with a sword in hand, a thought that suddenly sent chills down his spine flashing through his mind.
Fake.
This aura of Divine Sea Realm First Level is completely fake!
"You are not at the Divine Sea Realm First Level."
Nangong Wuhen's voice tightened, and the surprise and doubt in his eyes gradually turned into horror. "You've been hiding your cultivation from the very beginning. When Han Qingshan and Qi Xiu made their move, you didn't use your full strength at all!"
Chu Yunfei lightly flicked the blood off the Abyss-Devouring Sword, his expression carrying a hint of mockery.
"When did I ever say that I was only at the Divine Sea Realm First Level?"
Nangong Wuhen's cheek muscles twitched violently.
Chu Yunfei definitely didn't say that.
They sensed the aura of Divine Sea Realm First Level and assumed they had seen through Chu Yunfei's true nature.
Let Han Qingshan test the waters first.
Then Qi Xiu joined forces to surround and kill them.
From beginning to end, every step they took was under Chu Yunfei's control.
This bastard deliberately concealed his cultivation level, just wanting to watch them die one by one!
Nangong Wuhen forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, slowly raised the golden-patterned longsword, and pointed the blade directly at Chu Yunfei.
"So what if you've hidden your cultivation level?"
"This Holy Son possesses the Heavenly Sword Sect Sect's most treasured sword technique, as well as a life-saving method personally bestowed upon him by his grandfather. You have killed two of my sect's core disciples; today, you will pay the price no matter what!"
His body suddenly surged with golden Sword Qi.
Sword Qi rapidly condensed around him, and the pebbles beneath his feet were shaken into the air by the sword intent.
Nangong Wuhen's eyes were fierce, as if he was truly prepared for a desperate fight.
" Ten Thousand Swords Pay Homage to the Sect!"
With a roar, hundreds of golden Sword Qi shot into the sky.
The entire valley was illuminated by dazzling golden light.
Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly raised the Abyss-Devouring Sword.
Just as hundreds of Sword Qi were about to fall, Nangong Wuhen suddenly flicked out a black bead from his left hand.
boom!
The ball exploded in mid-air.
The thick black fog spread rapidly, obscuring the entire valley in the blink of an eye.
The seemingly powerful golden Sword Qi also changed direction at the same time, not slashing towards Chu Yunfei, but instead bombarding the mountain walls on both sides.
Gravel tumbled down, and dust filled the air.
Taking advantage of the black mist, Nangong Wuhen decisively burned his essence blood, pushing the Heavenly Sword Sect's movement technique to its limit, and frantically fled out of the valley.
Working desperately is just a facade.
What he really wanted to do was always escape!
Chu Yunfei was able to easily kill Qi Xiu, so his true combat strength must have exceeded the Divine Sea Realm Fifth Layer.
Nangong Wuhen is only at the Divine Sea Realm First Level. Even if he reveals all his trump cards, he doesn't have much of a chance of winning.
Even with the best opportunities, you still need to be alive to seize them.
As long as they escape, find the other elites of the Cangyun Sect, Puppet Sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect, and then unite with the holy sons and daughters of each sect to attack together, Chu Yunfei will still die!
" Chu Yunfei, you just wait, you holy son!"
Nangong Wuhen roared furiously in his heart, his figure transforming into a golden sword light, rushing dozens of miles in just a few breaths.
He didn't dare turn around.
They dared not linger.
As the distance between them increased, there was still no sign of pursuit from behind.
The tension in Nangong Wuhen's heart gradually eased.
Could it be that Chu Yunfei didn't catch up?
Perhaps the opponent had also expended considerable energy killing Han Qingshan and Qi Xiu in succession, but was merely feigning composure in front of him.
Thinking of this, Nangong Wuhen couldn't help but look back.
At the far end of the line of sight, the entrance to the valley was deserted.
Sure enough, there was no one there.
A hint of resentment welled up in Nangong Wuhen's eyes.
"Trash is trash."
Even if they obtained a heaven-defying opportunity and were fortunate enough to increase their strength, they would ultimately not have the courage to truly pursue and kill this Holy Son.
"Once I find the others, I will make you wish you were dead!"
In the valley.
"You ran away quite decisively."
Chu Yunfei chuckled and didn't rush to chase after him.
He walked unhurriedly to Han Qingshan's corpse, took off the man's storage ring, and also put away the two broken Earth Rank Upper Grade short swords.
Then he went to Qi Xiu's body.
In Qi Xiu's storage ring, besides hundreds of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones, there were also three fifth-grade pills, several earth-grade cultivation techniques and sword skills, and a communication jade talisman used internally by the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"His net worth isn't bad."
Chu Yunfei put away the storage ring and scanned his surroundings with his divine sense.
After confirming that no one else was watching, a thought flickered in his mind.
Han Qingshan and Qi Xiu's corpses disappeared together and were taken into the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate.
One of them Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level, and the other Divine Sea Realm Fifth Layer. Their dantian and Divine Sea had not yet completely collapsed.
After refining it, the Origin Divine Liquid that he condensed was enough for him to break through to the Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level!
However, he was not in a hurry to make a breakthrough.
Within his mind, Xiaoxiao Dragon spoke with a hint of sarcasm.
"You brat, Nangong Wuhen has already run over a hundred miles away. If you keep dawdling, he might really find someone else."
Chu Yunfei sheathed the Abyss-Devouring Sword and looked up in the direction Nangong Wuhen had fled.
"Let him run first."
"When I left the Azure Mystic Sect, he chased after me like this, not in a hurry to kill me, but just wanting to see me struggle in despair."
"This 'gratitude' must be repaid to him in full."
A flash of lightning appeared beneath Chu Yunfei's feet.
His figure transformed into a streak of dark golden light and vanished silently into the valley.
Nangong Wuhen fled for hundreds of miles.
The spatial suppression within the secret realm is extremely strong. Although cultivators at the Divine Sea Realm can briefly fly, they cannot maintain their maximum speed for an extended period.
The backlash from burning his life essence gradually became apparent.
Nangong Wuhen's face turned pale, and his breathing became rapid.
He took out a communication jade talisman and tried to contact Meng Tianyun and his fellow disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
But the jade talisman remained completely unresponsive.
Communication is impossible within this secret realm.
I can't get in touch with them, and there are no fellow disciples around.
Nangong Wuhen gritted his teeth and could only continue fleeing southeast.
Not long ago, a signal talisman from the Cangyun Sect had appeared there, but at the time it seemed too far away.
Once they find the Cangyun Sect's team, Qin Hao and the others will not stand idly by and watch Chu Yunfei kill him, based on the agreement between the two sects.
suddenly.
A faint rumble of thunder came from the far distance behind us.
Nangong Wuhen froze.
He turned around abruptly.
Several miles away, a figure in black was following behind, stepping on dark golden lightning.
Chu Yunfei did not give chase at full speed.
The distance between the two sides remained at around several miles.
Neither getting too close, nor being left behind.
Like a patient and ferocious beast watching its prey struggle in vain.
Anger and fear surged within Nangong Wuhen's chest at the same time.
This scene is all too familiar.
Back in the Cangwu Mountain Range, he followed Chu Yunfei in this manner.
Just when Chu Yunfei thought he was about to escape, he would reappear and casually inflict serious injuries on him.
He was enjoying the thrill of his prey struggling.
Now the positions of the two sides have completely reversed.
That suffocating feeling of having one's life and death controlled by others, with no way out in sight, finally fell upon him.
The Nangong Wuhen bulged.
The once high and mighty Holy Son of the Azure Mystic Sect is now as pathetic as a stray dog.
humiliation.
There is also a deep-seated fear.
What kind of opportunity did that Qi Condensation Realm ant, who was powerless against him back then, obtain to grow to this level in such a short time?
Chu Yunfei!
As Nangong Wuhen fled, he shouted angrily, "I am the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sword Sect! Do you really intend to kill me all?"
