"Boom!"
Accompanied by that thunderous roar, a scorching heat wave suddenly swept through the dense forest ahead.
The dozen or so ancient trees, as thick as water buckets, that blocked the way were forcibly pushed aside and scorched by the violent fire-attribute spiritual power, with wood chips and sparks flying everywhere in mid-air.
In the ashes falling from the sky.
Six figures, their feet treading on the scorched earth, their faces filled with chilling killing intent, slowly appeared in Chu Yunfei and Yan Guining's sight.
The leader was an elderly man wearing a crimson robe and with red hair and beard.
The old man's eyes were like burning torches, fixed on Chu Yunfei, and the violent pressure emanating from his body was released without any concealment.
The surrounding temperature suddenly soared, and even the dead leaves on the ground, unable to withstand the intense heat, began to spontaneously combust.
Behind him followed five young disciples dressed in the inner sect attire of the Blazing Fire Sect.
These five individuals were all formidable, possessing the aura of experts at the Spirit Martial Realm.
They noticed the newcomer's attire and his signature fire-attribute martial arts technique.
Yan Guining's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she subconsciously gasped.
Despite the suffocating heat and oppressive pressure, she took a difficult step forward, moved closer to Chu Yunfei, and whispered a reminder in a trembling voice.
" Chu Yunfei, watch out!"
"That old man is a powerful elder of the Blazing Fire Sect, Fan Ji."
"He cultivates the Blazing Fire Art, a Earth-level cultivation method from the Blazing Fire Sect. He has an extremely fiery temper and terrifying strength, having already reached the Third Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm!"
Third Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm!
This is far more dangerous than that Mad Frenzied Saber Sect Master who relied on brute force to fight.
The sect elders possess profound knowledge and skills, and their combat experience far surpasses that of third-rate forces.
Elder Fan Ji across from him had a sinister look in his eyes.
He glanced at the large patch of blood at Chu Yunfei's feet that hadn't yet dried, and then smelled the strong, pungent stench of blood in the air.
He immediately concluded that the large number of search and rescue personnel who had gone missing on the outskirts of the Cangwu Mountain Range over the past half day must have been killed by this seemingly insignificant and useless person.
"Snort."
Fan Ji snorted coldly, and in his eyes as he looked at Chu Yunfei, besides anger, there was an undisguised greed.
He licked his dry lips and let out a sinister laugh.
" Chu Yunfei, it's rumored that you've lost all your cultivation and are a complete waste of your sect's resources."
"I never expected this! Not only has your cultivation recovered, you piece of trash, but you've also managed to kill so many people all by yourself in the Cangwu Mountain Range."
"Even so many outstanding disciples of my Blazing Fire Sect have fallen at your hands."
Fan Ji stepped forward, and the pressure of his Third Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm pressed down on Chu Yunfei as if it were a tangible force.
"Such heaven-defying, cross-level killing skills must indicate an unimaginable great opportunity within you!"
"However, this is not bad either. I will gladly accept this opportunity today, along with the bounty offered by the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
As Fan Ji finished speaking...
The five Blazing Fire Sect disciples behind him, all at the Spirit Martial Realm, immediately dispersed in an orderly fashion.
The five men drew their weapons, their bodies radiating crimson spiritual energy, forming a semi-encirclement that completely blocked Chu Yunfei and his companion's escape route.
They looked at Chu Yunfei as if he were a dead man, and began to shout arrogantly.
"Elder Fan, why waste your breath talking to this dead man!"
"Those who dared to kill members of our Blazing Fire Sect, today they will pay with their blood!"
"Everyone, attack together! Break his limbs and cripple his meridians first, then take him back and torture him severely. Let's see how long he can keep up his stubbornness!"
He was surrounded by a sect elder at the peak of the Third Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, plus five experts at the Late Spirit Martial Realm.
If it were an ordinary martial artist, even one at the same Heavenly Origin Realm, they would probably be trembling with fear and thinking about how to escape.
But Chu Yunfei stood firmly in place.
Not only did he not retreat a single step, but there was not a trace of fear or panic that a normal person would have in his deep eyes.
on the contrary.
As the Boundless Creation Scripture circulated within his body, Chu Yunfei's blood began to boil, and his eyes flashed with extremely excited fighting spirit.
He has just broken through to the Eighth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm!
He seemed to possess inexhaustible, violent power, desperately needing an outlet to vent it.
Those Rogue Cultivator and low-level disciples who were instantly killed were far too weak; they weren't even good enough to give him a warm-up.
The arrival of this Heavenly Origin Realm elder from the Blazing Fire Sect was perfectly timed.
This is exactly what Chu Yunfei needs: a perfect whetstone to test his true, maximum combat power under normal circumstances!
"Would you gladly accept this opportunity?"
Chu Yunfei, holding the Abyss-Devouring Sword, curled up a disdainful smile.
He pointed at Fan Ji's nose and said with a cold, mocking tone.
"Old man, you think you can take me on?"
"You really think you can do anything to me just because you're at the Heavenly Origin Realm? Since you're so eager to become a lackey of the Heavenly Sword Sect, I'll take pity on you and send you to hell to meet your sect's disciples!"
Upon hearing this,
The atmosphere in the entire dense forest instantly plummeted to freezing point.
Fan Ji's face turned from red to green, and the veins on his forehead bulged out.
The Blazing Fire Sect, as one of the second-rate forces in Qingyang City, is on par with the Azure Mystic Sect.
In Qingyang City, he held a superior position, and Fan Ji, as an elder of the Blazing Fire Sect, held a highly respected position. Who would dare to insult him like this?
"Arrogant little beast!"
"You're asking for it!"
Fan Ji was completely enraged.
He roared, and his full head of red hair moved without any wind.
The spiritual power of the Third Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm was no longer held back and erupted out with a roar.
He suddenly raised his right hand, and in his palm, violent fire-attribute spiritual power gathered and compressed wildly, instantly condensing into a ball of true fire as blazing as the sun.
The air within a ten-foot radius was violently distorted under the heat of this real fire.
" Blazing Flame Palm!"
Fan Ji roared.
He slammed a palm down hard towards Chu Yunfei's face.
The crimson palm print of true fire swelled to several meters in size amidst the wind, carrying a terrifying power capable of incinerating everything, and pressed down overwhelmingly.
"Step back!"
Faced with such a terrifying attack, Chu Yunfei did not choose to dodge.
He grabbed Yan Guining's shoulder and shoved her back several feet, escaping the attack range of the True Fire Palm Print.
Immediately afterwards.
Chu Yunfei took a deep breath.
He didn't use the sleeping Little Purple thing on his wrist.
He did not immediately draw the Abyss-Devouring Sword.
Just as the True Fire Palm Print was about to strike him.
boom!
Within Chu Yunfei's body, the powerful aura belonging to the Eighth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm was completely released, like a dormant volcano.
A surge of violent spiritual energy erupted into the sky, managing to withstand the oppressive force of the true fire for a short period of time.
The sudden burst of cultivation aura caused Fan Ji's pupils to shrink sharply in mid-air.
" Eighth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm!"
Rumor had it that his cultivation level had dropped to the Qi Condensation Realm half a month ago? How did he suddenly reach the eighth level?
But Fan Ji was, after all, a veteran elder who had experienced countless battles. After a brief moment of surprise, the ferocity on his face intensified.
He sneered, "So what if you're at the Eighth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm!"
"Faced with the insurmountable barrier of the Heavenly Origin Realm, you are still just a slightly larger ant!"
Burn me to ashes!
Fan Ji suddenly increased the force in his palm, and the True Fire Palm Print pressed down even faster.
A maniacal smile crept onto Chu Yunfei's lips.
He gripped the hilt of the Abyss-Devouring Sword tightly with one hand.
The Boundless Creation Scripture full capacity, and the spiritual energy vortex in his dantian spun wildly, continuously pouring the purest spiritual energy into the sword.
The jet-black Abyss-Devouring Sword emitted a piercing buzzing sound.
The dark gold patterns on the sword shimmered like a resurrected dragon.
" Heaven-Severing Slash!"
Facing the palm print of true fire that even a third-level Third Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm dared not directly confront, Chu Yunfei advanced instead of retreating, his legs suddenly exerting force.
He shot into the sky like a cannonball.
He gripped the sword with both hands and, with all his might, slashed upwards with a powerful strike!
Rumble--!
A domineering black sword beam several meters long collided violently with the crimson palm print of true fire in mid-air without any fancy moves.
It was like a meteorite crashing into a sea of fire.
A terrifying energy shockwave spread wildly outwards in visible circular ripples.
The dozen or so ancient trees around them, which required several people to encircle, were as fragile as paper in the face of this shockwave, and were instantly snapped in half.
Leaves and charred wood were swept into the air.
The soil was turned up several feet deep.
The shockwave caused Yan Guining's blood to surge, forcing him to retreat repeatedly. He finally managed to stabilize himself by planting his sword firmly in the ground.
Her eyes widened in horror as she looked at the epicenter of the explosion.
In the eyes of all the disciples of the Blazing Fire Sect, Spirit Martial Realm who dared to take Elder Fan's Blazing Flame Palm -on was destined to be shattered to pieces.
However.
What happened next horrified all the disciples of the Blazing Fire Sect.
Amidst the blazing fire and billowing smoke.
Chu Yunfei was not shattered by that palm strike.
Instead, using the terrifying recoil generated by their clash, he made an extremely agile turn in mid-air.
His figure was like a black, ghostly bolt of lightning.
Instead of retreating, they charged forward, breaking out of the center of the explosion and crashing into the encirclement of the Blazing Fire Sect disciples who were just watching the show!
"What!"
He's not dead!
The few Late Spirit Martial Realm Blazing Fire Sect didn't even have time to react.
Who would have thought that this kid not only survived the Heavenly Origin Realm elder's deadly attack, but also had the strength to fight back?
"The first one!"
A chilling voice boomed in a disciple's ear.
The disciple hadn't even activated his protective spiritual energy when he felt a chill on his neck.
The sharp edge of the Abyss-Devouring Sword sliced open his throat without any hindrance.
"The second one!"
The black afterimage flickered again.
Another disciple, terrified, raised his long sword to try and block.
Click!
The man and his sword were brutally cleaved in two by the Abyss-Devouring Sword!
Blood and internal organs were scattered all over the ground.
All of this happened too fast. From the moment Chu Yunfei broke through the sea of fire to the moment he killed two people, it was only a matter of the blink of an eye.
"You little beast, how dare you!"
Fan Ji, suspended in mid-air, watched helplessly as his disciples were slaughtered right before his eyes. He was so enraged that his eyes were bloodshot and his lungs felt like they were about to explode.
This is not only killing his people, but also trampling on his dignity!
"Die!"
