Chapter 876: Number One Person

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

These were all false bodies of Chi Runsheng. His true self, upon stepping onto the combat arena, maintained a considerable distance from Chen Fei.

Outside the arena, most people could only see Chi Runshengs false bodies.

In essence, Chi Runsheng was more like a puppeteer, manipulating his false bodies to attack others while keeping his true self safely distant.

Even Chen Fei could only identify these false bodies one by one without discovering the true selfs location.

With countless secret techniques from other dimensions, although Chen Feis perception and divine eye were exceptional, he couldnt truly see through everything.

However, not being able to see through didnt mean he couldnt break the opponents techniques.

Chen Fei waited for Chi Runshengs false bodies to attack up close, as at that moment, Chi Runshengs true self would definitely need to activate secret techniques to control the false bodies.

With that unseen connection, once Chen Fei destroyed the false bodies, he could then approach Chi Runshengs true self and deliver a fatal blow.

On the side of the Boundless Sea, cheers soared into the sky.

On Shadow Island, She Qianlings expression grew grave. The young pract.i.tioner from the Boundless Sea was too comprehensive.

So comprehensive that he didnt seem like someone who had grown up under the current conditions of the Boundless Sea.

A quarter of an hour later, Duan Qingchi from the Black Divine faction was shattered by Chen Fei.

Duan Qingchi was a peak Mountain Sea Realm expert from the Green Egg Sacred Land three hundred years ago. He was already at the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm when he was over four hundred years old, but he didnt choose to breakthrough to the Sun Moon Realm at his zenith.

At that time, everyone thought that Duan Qingchi merely wanted to solidify his foundation further before attempting the breakthrough with full a.s.surance.

But in the end, it was proven that everyones a.s.sumptions were wrong.

Duan Qingchi only attempted the breakthrough a few months before his death.

Breaking through from Mountain Sea Realm to Sun Moon Realm was dangerous, with a high probability of death if it failed.

Many prominent Mountain Sea Realm experts from the seven Sacred Lands had vanished this way. At the height of their power and fame, they perished without making it through.

Whether Duan Qingchi had seen too many such events or was simply afraid of death, he never ventured into that dangerous territory.

But it must be said that Duan Qingchis final outcome was relatively good compared to those who failed their breakthroughs.

He lived to be twelve hundred years old before pa.s.sing away.

Normal Mountain Sea Realm experts, even those at the peak, wouldnt have such a long lifespan. Even with elixirs to extend life, the outcome would be similar.

But Duan Qingchi achieved it.

Duan Qingchi was truly afraid of death, and he had fought very few battles in his life. He avoided conflicts whenever possible, preferring to resolve issues through dialogue rather than combat.

Even when he reached the peak of the Mountain Sea Realm, this habit persisted.

His cultivation methods were all focused on defense, with minimal counterattacks.

Counterattacks werent really Duan Qingchis choice but were a natural result of many cultivation methods reaching a certain level; they couldnt be purely defensive.

Defense was always aimed at better counterattacking. Duan Qingchi had no better choice but to choose these methods.

Duan Qingchis Mountain Sea Realm talents were also entirely defense- oriented. He truly elevated his fear of death to an almost unattainable level.

During the recent battle, Chen Fei saw talents focused on invulnerability and resilience.

Even his cultivation method wasnt the Green Egg Sacred Lands core technique but a technique called Eternal Life Art.

Layered armor was just to avoid being killed. Choosing Eternal Life Art was to live longer.

Being afraid of death, naturally, one would want to live as long as possible.

In fact, if one is truly afraid of death, one should consider risking a breakthrough to the Sun Moon Realm when appropriate. A successful breakthrough would significantly extend ones lifespan.

But Duan Qingchi, for reasons unknown, only attempted the breakthrough as his lifespan neared its end.

The old age state, combined with not practicing the core technique, made the success rate predictably low.

Eternal Life Art, combined with numerous defensive talents and a minimal number of battles in life, still didnt affect Duan Qingchis combat power.

In fact, Duan Qingchis power at mid-stage of the fourth rank was exceptionally hard to counter.

His defense was too strong!

It was a bit like the Suppressing Dragon Elephants characteristic, absorbing attacks and then waiting for a chance to counterattack.

And once he counterattacked, it was earth-shattering.

It was just unfortunate that Duan Qingchi met Chen Fei.

With Chen Feis Nine Star Chain and Sword Dominates the Galaxy, his attack power was unbelievably strong. With six consecutive swords, Chen Fei directly shattered Duan Qingchi.

Duan Qingchi attempted to counterattack but was destroyed by Chen Fei before even initiating his opening moves.

Chen Feis speed of attack was already extremely fast, and under the Sword Dominates the Galaxy state, it increased by forty percent.

Duan Qingchi, who focused solely on defense, appeared as nothing more than a target in Chen Feis eyes.

Before Duan Qingchi died, his gaze held a hint of regret.

Although Duan Qingchi knew that his current state was just a merged remnant soul, his instinctive fear of death, even having died once, still made him wish to live longer.

Even in his current state, he didnt mind living on.

Half an hour later.

Chen Fei stood in the arena, countless arrows speeding through the air, some so fast they were nearly invisible.

The Reincarnation Bows arrows accelerated the longer they flew, increasing in speed and power.

Mo Rongduan stood a hundred miles away, almost at the edge of the Mortal Combat arena, constantly shooting arrows.

These arrows accelerated, continuously accelerating. Now, the entire arena was filled with a sky of arrows.

Each arrows power, while not reaching the level of tearing s.p.a.ce, could cause s.p.a.ce wrinkles, just a step away from tearing.

The key was the sheer number of these arrows.

Compared to the Shadow Lock Bow Chen Fei once learned, the Reincarnation Bow was a world apart.

To some extent, Mo Rongduan used the arrows to create a domain, within which attacks were indiscriminate.

Mo Rongduans eyes were fixed on Chen Fei. At a hundred-mile distance, even a fourth-rank expert could only sense faintly. Locking onto him was extremely difficult.

But for his own safety, Mo Rongduan preferred to stay farther away, and this distance didnt affect the Reincarnation Arrows power.

Chen Feis reluctance to act suited Mo Rongduans intentions. In a moment, these arrows could form a true Reincarnation Arrow Array.

At that point, tearing s.p.a.ce would be easy.

Now, Mo Rongduan believed the situation was in his favor. Even if Chen Fei rushed over, it wouldnt be easy.

Daring to let him build up such power, the previous victories had made Chen Fei lose his usual caution.

And losing caution meant death!

As if sensing Mo Rongduans blatant killing intent, Chen Fei no longer observed the Reincarnation Arrows but looked directly at Mo Rongduan.

In the next moment, Chen Fei stepped into a spatial rift, directly teleporting in front of Mo Rongduan.

Teleportation had a flaw; it couldnt penetrate formations.

However, this flaw was greatly mitigated by Chen Feis ability to tear through s.p.a.ce with immense power.

While tearing through s.p.a.ce, he shattered the formation with sheer strength, positioning himself where needed.

The Reincarnation Arrows had not yet formed an array. Although Mo Rongduan had set up a minor formation in front to prevent possible teleportation, such a formation was ineffective against Chen Fei now.

Unless it was a top-tier force with formations nurtured for hundreds of years, ordinary formations couldnt withstand the force of tearing through s.p.a.ce.

Since the Reincarnation Arrows couldnt yet tear s.p.a.ce, they naturally couldnt lock onto Chen Fei in the spatial rift.

Thus, Chen Fei appeared right in front of Mo Rongduan.

Seeing Chen Fei appear, Mo Rongduans pupils constricted sharply. The surrounding Reincarnation Arrows surged wildly. At the same time, he roared in anger, using his bow as a blade to strike at Chen Fei.

A blazing fire had unknowingly engulfed Mo Rongduan, burning everything flammable. Mo Rongduan spared no effort, delivering this strike at Chen Fei.

Chen Feis sudden appearance left Mo Rongduan with no other choice.

Those who use bows and arrows as weapons are usually strong in close combat, as they must prevent others from getting close.

Mo Rongduan was no exception, but unfortunately, he faced Chen Fei, who was even stronger in close combat. This desperate move was shattered by Chen Fei, along with Mo Rongduans body.

The seventh!

Mo Rongduan was the seventh person Chen Fei had killed in this match. In half an hour, Chen Fei had never stopped.

At this point, in the mid-stage of the fourth rank, Shadow Island had only one person left who hadnt partic.i.p.ated.

On the Black Divine side, only two people were yet to appear.

If Chen Fei killed three more, he would have defeated ten people, achieving ultimate victory in this mid-stage fourth-rank match!

The Boundless Sea side erupted in cheers, from initially worrying whether Chen Fei would lose to later worrying if he was over exerting himself and needed to rest.

Now, it was clear who would win!

No matter how strong the opponents were, Chen Fei remained calm. No one had ever been able to withstand Chen Feis brilliance.

Regardless of the secret techniques or moves the opponents used, beneath the Concealment Sword, they were all nothingness!

In front of the central hall of the Sacred City, many people frequently glanced towards Thousand Geese City.

With such a strong figure, the rise of Thousand Geese City had become inevitable.

Moreover, as a key figure in the Mortal Combat, the Sacred Lands would not neglect Chen Fei, nor would they neglect Thousand Geese City.

Some who were nearby had already started conversing with people from Thousand Geese City.

On the Mortal Combat arena, Chen Fei looked towards the Black Divine faction.

Black Divine looked at Chen Fei. When Chen Fei performed his teleportation earlier, a trace of doubt appeared in Black Divines eyes.

In front of Black Divine, a figure stepped forward and appeared in the arena.

After thousands of years, I never expected my disciple to be so outstanding. It truly is a pleasant surprise!

A light laugh echoed, and the black mist on the shadows face dissipated, revealing a thin, familiar face.

Seeing the visitor, Chen Feis brows furrowed slightly, and then his expression s.h.i.+fted.

The one who once swept the fourth rank and was the number one under the Sun Moon Realm.

Dream Shadow Master had returned!
