Chapter 493= Control
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Hu Yanwu conceded decisively and willingly eliminated himself from the
compet.i.tion.
Hu Yanwu even worried that if he were a bit slower, he might not have time to concede.
Chen Fei, who had originally pointed his sword forward, froze in midair. The intimidating aura that had made Hu Yanwu tremble vanished in an instant.
The sword energy attack that had penetrated a bit of s.p.a.ce was now retracted by Chen Fei. Besides losing some elemental power, this sword energy still retained its full attacking strength.
Facing such a cunning opponent approaching the second level, Chen Fei could kill him, but it would take time, and unfortunately, Chen Fei was short on time at this moment.
Chen Fei had noticed this issue when facing Miao Wanhong earlier, so after delivering a sword strike, he immediately unleashed the Profound Slaying
Sword
The original Profound Slaying Sword should have been able to severely injure Miao Wanhong, but if Miao Wanhongs mental power was guarded by a cultivation technique, its effectiveness would be greatly reduced, and Chen Feis own mental power would also be affected.
More importantly, when Miao Wanhongs mental power was damaged, it would only affect his performance and wouldnt immediately lead to his death, thus prolonging the battle.
Therefore, in order to resolve the battle quickly, Chen Fei decided to release the attack within the spatial grid, combining it with his own attack to completely eliminate Miao Wanhong.
As soon as the attack within the spatial grid emerged in reality, Miao Wanhong sensed the sharp aura. His mental power was already damaged, and now he had to face this level of attack.
Without any hesitation, Miao Wanhong conceded on the spot.
Losing the Flag Capture Compet.i.tion only meant forfeiting the Third Grade Secret Realm. But if a person died, there would be no coming back.
Faced with this choice, Miao Wanhong didnt hesitate at all and immediately left the Haiyue Cave.
Therefore, the attack within the spatial grid, which had only revealed a glimpse, completed its mission without being formally unleashed.
So now, facing Hu Yanwu, Chen Fei employed the same technique once again. Without even drawing the Qianyuan Sword, he launched the Profound Slaying Sword followed by the attack within the spatial grid.
Just like Miao Wanhong, Hu Yanwu, too, chose without hesitation between the Flag Capture Compet.i.tion and his own life.
It may sound like a lengthy process, but the time from Chen Feis encounter with Hu Yanwu to Hu Yanwus elimination was extremely short. Whats more, the battle hardly caused any significant disturbances.
Chen Fei wore a slight smile on his face, and his figure turned into a flash of lightning, disappearing from the spot.
Buzz!
A red light flashed across the sky above the Haiyue Cave, and a message appeared in everyones minds.
Hu Yanwu has been eliminated!
The three individuals, Mo s.h.i.+yi, who had just scattered to intercept the Flame Flag, were all frozen in mid-air.
Werent they just separated? How could they be eliminated all of a sudden? Whats even more baffling is that Hu Yanwu had only just activated his Linked Jade. But where was the turbulence of battle? They didnt even sense the disturbance of the battle; Hu Yanwu was gone in an instant.
Werent they supposed to buy time? Why were they so reckless!
On the other side, Qin Haishan and his two companions were charging forward at full speed, preparing to support Chen Fei. They too were slightly stunned. Hu Yanwu had been eliminated? Eliminated by Chen Fei?
First, he defeated Miao Wanhong, and now he eliminated Hu Yanwu. Chen Feis performance was simply breaking Qin Haishan and the others understanding over and over again.
Where was the strength that someone who had just broken through the Combined Aperture Tempering realm should have? And he had so many secret techniques at his disposal earlier, which they thought was already exaggeration enough. Now, they realized that even more astonis.h.i.+ng things were yet to come.
Qin Haishan and his companions felt a bit foggy in their minds, but they continued to rush forward, intending to bring Chen Fei back first. As for the rest, there would be time to discuss later.
Mo s.h.i.+yi and his companions hurriedly headed in the direction where Hu Yanwu had left earlier. They were not certain if the Flame Flag was still there, but they had no other choice at this point.
Meanwhile, outside the Haiyue Cave, everyone stared wide-eyed at the changes in the water curtain.
Chen Feis performance not only astonished Qin Haishan and his two companions but also left everyone outside feeling incredulous.
Those who had come to witness the spectacle naturally had some understanding of the ten partic.i.p.ants, and based on the information they had received, Chen Fei was just a recent Combined Aperture Tempering realm breakthrough.
Yet, this newcomer had now successively eliminated two peers at the same level. Whats more, the time he spent doing so was incredibly short.
Though they couldnt see what was happening on the scene, one thing was certain: Chen Feis strength far surpa.s.sed that of an average first-level Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.
It was the only way to explain why Miao Wanhong and the others were willing
to concede.
Many people cast their eyes in the direction of the Primordial Sword Sect. A young Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, and one with such formidable combat abilities, meant that the Primordial Sword Sects strength would flourish in the near future as long as no unforeseen events occurred.
Members of the Primordial Sword Sect sensed the gaze of others and displayed proud expressions on their faces. Those from the Break Soul Sect and the Xuan Fire Sect also glanced at the Primordial Sword Sect, their expressions mixed with various emotions.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, the Primordial Sword Sect had been the weakest faction within the alliance, both in terms of their disciples strength and their Combined Aperture Tempering realm power.
The fact that they might develop in the future couldnt change the current reality of their weakness.
Now it was evident that Chen Fei possessed significant strength, and the key point was that he had only broken through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm about a year ago, yet he had such formidable power. As time pa.s.sed, Chen Fei would only grow stronger. The strength of a sect depended on its disciples, but most importantly, it relied on the one with the strongest power and their level of achievement.
Many members of the Yu family and the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect were left in awe.
They knew Chen Fei well, but because of their familiarity, the changes he exhibited now were even more astounding.
Chen Feis talents and combat prowess were simply monstrous, beyond words.
Some younger members of the Yu family who had once mocked Chen Fei behind his back were now feeling a sense of shame but tried to hide it as best they could.
At most, when they exchanged glances, there was a hint of relief. Thankfully, their condescension had occurred when Chen Fei was far away and not to his face.
If they had openly ridiculed him at the time, they might not even be standing here now, which was a serious concern.
Inside the Haiyue Cave,
Chen Feis figure flickered, and with the Star Gazing Art, he sensed the presence of Qin Haishan and his companions. After a moment, Qin Haishan and his group finally saw Chen Fei, and their faces lit up with smiles.
After a while, the two groups approached each other.
Lets go. If we run into Mo s.h.i.+yi and the others later, well hold them off. Chen Fei, you go ahead with the Flame Flag! Qin Haishan looked at Chen Fei, unable to conceal his joy.
Now that they had successfully rendezvoused with Chen Fei, the outcome of the upcoming events was unlikely to change significantly. This Flag Capture Compet.i.tion was theirs to win!
Agreed!
Chen Fei had no objections. The four of them escorted the Flame Flag towards the center of their own camp. As long as they placed the Flame Flag inside that cave, this Flag Capture Compet.i.tion would be over.
And the Third Grade Secret Realm would fall into the hands of their alliance. For a whole century, they would enjoy the benefits obtained from it. Just thinking about it was exhilarating.
What was even more crucial was that Chen Fei already had this level of strength now. What would he be like a hundred years from now? This secret realm might remain under their control for several hundred years! The four of them moved swiftly, but soon, Chen Fei sensed the presence of Mo s.h.i.+yi and his group behind them. Eventually, they caught up.
Theyre coming? Qin Haishan asked in a hushed voice, noticing Chen Feis change in expression.
Yeah, theyre faster than us, Chen Fei nodded.
You go ahead. Qin Haishan patted Chen Feis shoulder and stopped in mid-air.
Zhao Tianxuan and Tong Zhongqiu both came to a stop as well. With Mo s.h.i.+yi and his two companions now facing them, and the presence of a treasure, there wasnt much room for any surprises. Moreover, the flag in Qin Haishans hand had long been upgraded to the level of a middle-grade magic artifact. If they were more ambitious, Chen Fei could have stayed behind, and perhaps they could have eliminated all three of Mo s.h.i.+yis group.
Of course, n.o.body would do that; it was too risky, and there was no need for it. Chen Fei nodded and continued flying forward. Mo s.h.i.+yi and his group saw Qin Haishans group from a distance and noticed Chen Fei flying alone into the distance. Their eyes were wide with frustration.
The Flame Flag was definitely on Chen Fei, but Qin Haishans group was standing in their way at this moment.
Combine!
Mo s.h.i.+yi uttered a low shout, and the Profound Origin Pearl in his hand trembled slightly. The two people behind him quickly infused their power into Mo s.h.i.+yis body.
Mo s.h.i.+yis hair floated up, and his aura began to rise rapidly.
Qin Haishans group saw Mo s.h.i.+yis transformation, and a sense of realization filled their eyes. So, this was the treasure that Mo s.h.i.+yi and his companions possessed.
Get out of my way!
Mo s.h.i.+yi roared angrily, and the blade in his hand trembled. In the next moment, a series of blade energies swept across the heavens and earth, slas.h.i.+ng towards Qin Haishans group.
Qin Haishan didnt say a word. He shook the Blackwater Flag in his hand, creating a protective s.h.i.+eld to cover their three-man team.
Boom!
A violent explosion resounded for tens of miles around. Qin Haishan involuntarily retreated, a hint of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth. However, that was all.
The Profound Origin Pearl had gathered the power of Mo s.h.i.+yi and his two companions but couldnt produce the strength of a mid-level Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Faced with Qin Haishan wielding a middle-grade magic artifact and only focusing on defense, achieving this point was already their limit.
Mo s.h.i.+yi and his companions wore expressions of dissatisfaction. They had clearly gained the upper hand at the start, but now, the situation had turned into what it was. Why did it end up like this?
On the other side, Chen Fei landed in front of the cave entrance, and the Flame Flag in his sleeve automatically flew out.
in the next moment, a black light shot up into the sky, occupying the entire sky above the Haiyue Cave.
Outside the Haiyue Cave, on the water curtain, the black light replaced everything. The Flag Capture Compet.i.tion had come to an end.
Weve won!
Cheers erupted from the positions of the five sects, finally providing an answer to the owners.h.i.+p of the Third Grade Secret Realm for the next hundred years.
In the Primordial Sword Sect, Qiu Qingshengs eyes were filled with emotion. In immortal Cloud City, the Primordial Sword Sect had to share even a first-level secret realm with other sects, let alone a second-level secret realm.
Now, they were about to possess a Third Grade Secret Realm.
In mid-air, Chen Feis figure slowly appeared.
As for whether Baka could control a region of the Third Grade Secret Realm, that remained uncertain!
