Chapter 711: Hand Up, Blade Down

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Two Mountain Sea Realm cultivators?

Chen Fei furrowed his brow as he looked at the message emanating from the fragments of the Enlightenment Tower.

Since it was crafted using spiritual treasure fragments rather than being a dedicated transmission tool, the fragments could only display some simple messages.

At this moment, the most important information was revealed on the fragment, leaving Chen Fei to make his own choice.

What Chen Fei didnt expect was that the luck of Min Yanlu and the others was so poor that they were targeted like this.

Or perhaps it wasnt bad luck, but rather someone had noticed Min Yanlus weakness and had long been plotting!

Chen Fei stood up, his feet slightly bent, causing the ground to ripple like the surface of water. In the next moment, Chen Fei soared into the sky, disappearing into the Thousand Geese City.

Inside the residence, Chen Feis clone found Qu Qingsheng and imparted a secret seal.

This secret seal could forcibly control the Monster King Nie Li at critical moments.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, Nie Li, who had been engraved with the rune steel seal, would not be able to make any moves that would harm disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect, as it contradicted the soul runes.

As time pa.s.sed, this effect would continue to strengthen.

However, many things were afraid of accidents, hence the need for this secret seal.

Normally, with Chen Feis clone in the Primordial Sword Sect, there wasnt much to fear. But once Chen Fei was trapped somewhere and even the clone was not within the sect, thats when this secret seal could come in handy.

Having a Monster King as a guardian monster for the sect was naturally extremely useful, but various safeguards were indispensable.

In the sky, a transparent sword-shaped elemental force enveloped Chen Fei, breaking through the resistance of the air ahead.

Chen Feis speed in the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm wasnt slow, and he could even rank among the upper-middle tier.

Because of his tough physique, Chen Fei could freely unleash the strongest elemental force output to provide speed.

The only limitations on Chen Fei were the mysterious nature of the innate teleportation technique of the Heavenly Profound Sword and its level of proficiency at that time. If the Heavenly Profound Sword could have been elevated to the Perfect Stage, or even the Great Completion stage, Chen Feis speed would have increased significantly.

As it stood then, that was considered Chen Feis fastest speed.

With the fragment of the Enlightenment Tower in his right hand, Chen Fei sensed the connection between the two fragments and calculated that the distance between them was at least several thousand miles apart.

Flying over at Chen Feis current speed, not only would Min Yanlus bones have gone cold, it wouldve completely disappeared.

The so-called rescue mission would have become nothing but a joke.

These past few days, Chen Fei had gifted some sacred healing medicines to Min Yanlu, but they only slightly alleviated Min Yanlus injuries.

To heal injuries to the soul and lifespan, ordinary elixirs wouldnt suffice.

All the medicines in Chen Feis possession came from Wu Renxu and the others, acc.u.mulated over hundreds of years. Though they were valuable, they lacked the kind of treasure that could heal injuries to the soul.

If Min Yanlu were in his prime, like he was back in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, facing the siege of two Mountain Sea Realms, he might not have been able to counterattack, but he would have had a good chance of escaping.

But now, not to mention escaping, how long he could hold out was a big question.

Chen Feis gaze flickered, and in the next moment, he disappeared into the sky. When he reappeared, he was sixty miles away, then he vanished again.

Using conventional methods to travel would definitely be too slow. Chen Fei could only continuously use his innate teleportation ability.

However, even with Chen Feis current strength of soul, he couldnt sustain uninterrupted teleportation. He could teleport a few times, rest for a moment, then continue teleporting.

Thousands of miles away, at the end of the Thousand Geese Mountains.

Within a radius of several miles, blood-red light permeated the area, and a large-scale formation completely concealed this place.

Min Yanlu stood in mid-air, surrounded by over a hundred differently sized fragments. From a distance, these fragments seemed to form a vast Celestial Map.

These fragments were the remnants left after the collapse of the Enlightenment Tower and the Heavenly Manifestation Blade.

Based on his own studies and talents, Min Yanlu extended a technique he had recently comprehended within the Longhu City.

Min Yanlu hadnt expected to use this technique so soon.

Hum!

Dozens of Blood Spirits collided with the Celestial Map. The map trembled slightly, its structure fragile. Starting from the first fragment struck, the force gradually diminished as it pa.s.sed through the s.p.a.ced-apart fragments.

By the time it reached the last fragment, it shattered directly, and Min Yanlu seized the opportunity to harness its power, reaching out to intercept a blade of light from Fei Boyong.

Boom!

Compared to the Blood Spirits attacks, Fei Boyongs blade was much more domineering. Min Yanlus figure trembled, unable to withstand the force, and he staggered back several steps.

With each step Min Yanlu took, ripples spread through the air, as he struggled to divert the attack into the void.

Void Traces!

A talent Min Yanlu had gained from the void when he broke through to the Mountain Sea Realm years ago.

This talent came from the techniques Min Yanlu had studied, and after gaining this talent, it significantly increased the comprehension and power of Min Yanlus techniques.

Using the talent Void Traces, Min Yanlu could tear open a tiny rift in the void. When he couldnt withstand an opponents attack, he could divert the attack into the void.

Back in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, Min Yanlu wielded the Heavenly Manifestation Blade and could send his attacks into the body of the Monster King across s.p.a.ce, leveraging the power of the Void Traces talent.

Undoubtedly, this was an extremely powerful talent that could be utilized for both offense and defense.

Moreover, having Void Traces would make it easier for Min Yanlu to break into the void again in the future to search for talents when he planned to advance to the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm.

It could be said that with the talent Void Traces, Min Yanlus future path in martial arts was quite broad. Min Yanlu had also planned various training programs for himself and could proceed step by step.

However, unfortunately, the Monster Kings attack on the Thousand Feathers Alliance shattered Min Yanlus various plans directly.

Now, facing the attacks of Fei Boyong and Tu Zaichuan, Min Yanlu could only defend pa.s.sively and couldnt make any decent counterattacks.

Despite the formidable defense of the Celestial Map and the boost from the talent Void Traces, merely enduring attacks without retaliating and with all escape routes completely blocked, Min Yanlus death in battle was only a matter of time, and that time would definitely not be long.

Gu Danying watched as his masters face grew increasingly pale, hoping to elevate the three flowers within his body and break through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

If successful, then the master and disciple would have a chance to escape.

If failed, it would ultimately result in death, with no difference whatsoever.

However, Gu Danying had only elevated half of the three flowers, and upon reaching the boundary of the Mountain Sea Realm, he found that he couldnt continue elevating his own power no matter what.

Tu Zaichuan glanced at Gu Danying ahead, a hint of sneering smile appearing on his face.

Attempting a breakthrough on the brink of battle?

Peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm attempting to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm involved the resonance of the heaven and earths energy after the elevation of the three flowers within ones body. The heaven and earths energy would then cooperate with the martial artist to break through the limits of their power.

Thus, this breakthrough actually consisted of two steps: one from the martial artist themselves, and the other from the automatic cooperation of the heaven and earths energy.

Now, within a radius of several miles, the heaven and earths energy was controlled by the three Mountain Sea Realm experts, or rather, most of it was controlled by Tu Zaichuan and Fei Boyong.

There was simply no heaven and earths energy available for Gu Danying. Even if Min Yanlu wanted to release his controlled heaven and earths energy to cooperate with Gu Danying, Tu Zaichuan and Fei Boyong would immediately vie for control.

Therefore, a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm pract.i.tioner, when faced with other desperate situations, still has the opportunity to rely on a breakthrough to attempt a final struggle.

But when facing someone in the Mountain Sea Realm, attempting to rely on a breakthrough to gain a chance to resist is almost an impossible task.

If the breakthrough goes smoothly, entering the void to obtain talents is indeed a matter of an instant. However, when even the opportunity to elevate the three flowers and break through the limits isnt given to you by the Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioner, what can you do?

Chen Fei was able to attempt a breakthrough in the heat of battle because he had the talent of teleportation.

Chen Fei directly teleported himself outside of the heaven and earths energy controlled by Wu Renxu and the others, and only then did he manage to successfully break through.

Min Yanlu also sensed Gu Danyings situation and sighed inwardly. He too had no way to give Gu Danying the opportunity for a breakthrough.

Many Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners regard those below the Mountain Sea Realm as ants, not only because their lifespan far exceeds others, but also because others simply cannot pose enough threat to them when facing the Mountain Sea Realm.

Over time, the mindset of many Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioners naturally undergoes a transformation.

Boom!

Fei Boyong raised his knife, and amidst the explosion, Min Yanlu spat out blood, stepping back step by step, several fragments of spiritual treasures surrounding him shattered once again.

Now I somewhat regret not learning a few puppetry secrets, Fei Boyong turned his head to look at Tu Zaichuan and said in a deep voice.

Just after a few exchanges, Min Yanlus true nature of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside was already difficult to conceal.

But even in such circ.u.mstances, Min Yanlu, relying on his own talent and the talents in the divine palace, managed to stubbornly withstand the twos siege.

Although as time pa.s.sed, this resistance became weaker and weaker, if it were any other Mountain Sea Realm pract.i.tioner with similar injuries, they would probably have been slain by them long ago.

At the same time, Fei Boyong also felt sincerely envious of Tu Zaichuan planning to refine Min Yanlu into a Blood Spirit.

This kind of divine palace talent was rare, even one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand. Refining Min Yanlu into a Blood Spirit, coupled with the Blood Spirits own characteristics, would likely maximize the potential of the Void Traces talent.

In other words, Tu Zaichuans future martial arts path might be greatly broadened because of this Blood Spirit.

A smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of Tu Zaichuans mouth. Min Yanlu had indeed given him many surprises.

Originally, obtaining a Blood Spirit at the Mountain Sea Realm level was enough to make him extremely excited. Now, this Blood Spirit also possessed such powerful talents, how could Tu Zaichuan not be ecstatic?

So, even though he couldnt take down Min Yanlu in a short time, Tu Zaichuan didnt feel the slightest impatience.

Haste makes waste. In this desolate wilderness, no one could save Min Yanlu now.

Ill find an opportunity to tear through the outer layer of the formation and send you out! Remember, run, run with all your might!

Suddenly, Gu Danying heard his masters voice in his ear. Gu Danying turned to look, seeing that Min Yanlus face was already as pale as paper.

The fluctuations in his breath seemed very intense, but it was like a candle in the wind, s.h.i.+ning brightly but could be extinguished completely at any moment!
