As soon as Fan Ji finished speaking, his aura surged once again.
He gathered spiritual power in his palm, several times more violent than before, and the withered leaves of the entire dense forest instantly turned to ashes.
However, just as he was preparing to deliver a full-force blow and forcibly cripple Chu Yunfei...
A sharp, piercing sound suddenly came from the other side of the dense forest.
"Boom!"
A dozen or so figures burst through the forest with a fierce aura, landing heavily on the ground.
The newcomers were all dressed in the long robes of the Azure Mystic Sect.
The elderly man at the head of the group was thin and had a sinister face. His aura as a third-level Third Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm pressed down on them without reservation. He was none other than Zhou Huanzhang, an elder of the Azure Mystic Sect.
Zhou Huanzhang immediately locked his gaze on Chu Yunfei, who was wielding a black sword, and his gloomy old face instantly surged with extreme joy.
"Hahaha! You little bastard, I've finally caught you!"
Half a month ago, Chu Yunfei made him lose face in the sect's arena.
Heavenly Sword Sect has issued an astronomical reward; capturing this person alive would be a great achievement.
Not only could he avenge the humiliation of that day, but he could also pocket the entire bounty.
Beside Zhou Huanzhang, inner disciple Xu Changqing stared intently at Chu Yunfei.
His eyes were extremely cold, and his killing intent was almost tangible.
That day on the inner sect arena, he, the number one prodigy of the inner sect, was severely injured by Chu Yunfei, a piece of trash, with a single sword strike from a higher level, losing all face.
This humiliation gnawed at his heart like a venomous snake. Seeing Chu Yunfei surrounded, Xu Changqing didn't even bother to hide his killing intent.
On the other side.
Fan Ji, who had already gathered his strength to the maximum, turned somewhat dark-skinned.
Zhou Huanzhang didn't come earlier or later, but he arrived at this exact moment.
Both were at the Third Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, and their strengths were roughly equal.
Just as Chu Yunfei was about to claim all those incredible secrets and the astronomical bounty for himself, this old bastard from the Azure Mystic Sect suddenly intervened.
Fan Ji snorted coldly, a wary glint in his eyes. " Zhou Huanzhang, this man has killed several inner disciples of my Blazing Fire Sect. Today, I am determined to capture him and bring him back to the sect to be punished. Your Azure Mystic Sect had better stay away and not interfere!"
" Fan Ji, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Zhou Huanzhang retorted without backing down, " Chu Yunfei is a traitor to my Azure Mystic Sect, and a wanted criminal personally ordered to be captured by the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sword Sect! My Azure Mystic Sect is acting on orders to arrest him, does your Blazing Fire Sect intend to monopolize the bounty offered by the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
Faced with such enormous profits, who would be willing to back down?
" Chu Yunfei was discovered first by my Blazing Fire Sect, so naturally he belongs to me!"
Fan Ji's face darkened considerably. " Zhou Huanzhang, if you insist on interfering, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Before he could finish speaking, Fan Ji suddenly tightened his grip with his fingers hidden under his sleeve.
Click!
He quietly crushed a communication talisman hidden in his sleeve.
To be on the safe side, and also to prevent the Azure Mystic Sect from seizing the food, he directly sent a message to the sect's higher-ups.
Zhou Huanzhang caught a glimpse of his subtle movements out of the corner of his eye, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.
What are you putting in it?
Before coming here, Zhou Huanzhang knew that Chu Yunfei had managed to raise his cultivation level to the First Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm half a month ago with the help of a silver needle.
Fearing he couldn't control the situation on his own, he secretly crushed the Azure Mystic Sect's communication jade talisman as well.
He dared not count on the Giant Que Sword; that was something Nangong Wuhen had his eye on.
What he wanted was Chu Yunfei's life, and the bounty offered by the Heavenly Sword Sect.
The two groups of people were on the verge of drawing their swords, Yan Guining, caught in the middle, suddenly changed his expression.
Two Third Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm!
Even if Chu Yunfei is strong, having just broken through to the Eighth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm, it is absolutely impossible for him to deal with two powerful elders of the sect who have been immersed in the Heavenly Origin Realm for many years at the same time!
" Chu Yunfei..." Yan Guining's hand gripping the longsword was sweating profusely.
Chu Yunfei stood there, watching the two old men fight over him like he was food, a fierce smile curving his lips.
"You two old dogs, half-buried in the ground, do you really think I'm a fish on a chopping board, to be manipulated at your will?"
Chu Yunfei lifted the Abyss-Devouring Sword with one hand, his dark eyes showing no reverence for the Heavenly Origin Realm.
"I'd like to see whether I, Chu, will be captured alive by you bastards today, or this place will become your graveyard! Don't even mention you two pieces of trash, even if the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect come in person today, you'll still die!"
"I said it!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
boom!
Chu Yunfei held nothing back any longer; his powerful aura, belonging to the Eighth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm, swept across the entire open space like a raging hurricane.
at the same time.
A domineering and incomparable, terrifying sword intent, seemingly capable of devouring everything, shot straight into the sky!
Zhou Huanzhang, who had been secretly plotting, sensed this aura. His eyes bulged out, and he cried out in shock as if he had seen a ghost, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"How could you have already broken through to the Eighth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm!"
Zhou Huanzhang's voice betrayed an undisguised terror.
Two weeks ago.
On the Azure Mystic Sect Sect's arena, this little beast is only at the First Level of the Spirit Martial Realm.
As long as he didn't rely on that forbidden technique that pierced his brow, he was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed effortlessly.
But only half a month has passed, how could he possibly have skipped seven minor realms and directly soared to the Eighth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm!
If he were to use that forbidden technique from half a month ago again, wouldn't he be able to break through to the Divine Sea Realm directly?!
Upon realizing this, Zhou Huanzhang's face turned deathly pale, and a look of fear welled up uncontrollably in the depths of his eyes.
Chu Yunfei gave Zhou Huanzhang no time to think.
"You old dog, prepare to die!"
The Divine Movement Art under his feet was unleashed without reservation, creating two deep pits in the ground.
Chu Yunfei transformed into a streak of azure light, wielding the Abyss-Devouring Sword that blazed with dark golden light, and charged towards Zhou Huanzhang.
Seeing Chu Yunfei rushing towards him with murderous intent, Zhou Huanzhang suppressed the fear in his heart.
He stared intently at Chu Yunfei's brow, and found that the other party showed no sign of taking out silver needles to perform forbidden techniques.
Zhou Huanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a surge of elation.
This kid is too arrogant. He actually dares to challenge me, a Third Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm cultivator, with his normal cultivation level of the Eighth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm!
"You overconfident little beast, prepare to die!"
Zhou Huanzhang sneered inwardly, deciding to finish the battle quickly and not give Chu Yunfei any chance to use his forbidden techniques.
The next moment.
The spiritual power of the Third Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm gathered wildly on his fists, transforming into two huge cyan fist shadows.
Chu Yunfei looked at Zhou Huanzhang charging towards him, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, showing no intention of backing down.
"Old dog, take this sword!"
Chu Yunfei, wielding the Abyss-Devouring Sword, charged head-on into the two enormous cyan fist shadows.
when!
The dark golden sword light slammed into the cyan fist shadow, producing a deafening clang of metal striking metal.
The terrifying recoil force traveled along the sword, but Chu Yunfei only paused slightly as his incomparably powerful physical strength directly neutralized the impact.
Zhou Huanzhang, however, felt as if he had crashed into a mountain made of solid iron.
His fists pounded so hard they made his bones ache.
How could this kid be so strong?
Zhou Huanzhang was terrified, but he didn't stop moving his hands, his fists pounding relentlessly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The fists rained down like a storm.
Chu Yunfei gripped his sword in one hand, his footwork unpredictable and erratic.
In his hands, the Abyss-Devouring Sword was like a black venomous dragon, each strike precisely hitting the weakest point in Zhou Huanzhang's fist.
The blades clashed violently with the Sword Qi, sparks flying everywhere.
A deafening roar echoed through the dense forest, and large swathes of trees fell down.
In just a few breaths, the two had already exchanged more than a dozen blows in close combat.
Zhou Huanzhang grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
He discovered that despite his dignified cultivation at the Third Level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, he couldn't suppress someone at the Eighth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm in a battle of spiritual power!
Chu Yunfei's spiritual power was so immense that it defied the common sense of martial arts.
Even more terrifying was the dark golden, destructive sword intent.
With each collision, a trace of sword intent pierced his meridians along with the force of his fist, frantically destroying his protective spiritual barrier.
We can't delay any longer!
Zhou Huanzhang gritted his teeth and drained all his spiritual energy without reservation.
" City-Destroying Fist, Mountain-Shattering!"
Two enormous cyan fist shadows merged into one in mid-air, slamming into Chu Yunfei's chest with a muffled sonic boom.
This attack sealed off all of Chu Yunfei's escape routes.
