Chapter 473: Soul Under Sword

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Hed wanted to chalk it up to a misunderstanding completely brush aside what just happened. If Chen Feis strength was insufficient, then he could only accept it. But now that he had already broken through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, how could this matter be so easily dismissed?

Chen Fei embarked on the path of martial arts not only for longevity but also to achieve a certain understanding. When his strength is lacking, Chen Fei can endure, awaiting the future.

But facing Guan Hongxuan, why should Chen Fei belittle himself like this?

What do you mean!1

Guan Hongxuans eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of coldness in his gaze. I gave you face and provided you with a way out, yet you dare to refuse my offer!

Your breakthrough to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm has just happened, and I am giving you a way out. If I dont, what can you do to me!

Ill kill you!

The aura around Chen Fei suddenly burst open, amidst an electromagnetic explosion, he charged straight towards Guan Hongxuan, with a chilling intent suppressing all directions.

How ignorant!

Guan Hongxuan laughed loudly, indeed, ignorance knows no fear, and the Combined Aperture Tempering realm also has different levels. Trying to kill someone of the same level right after breaking through is simply foolish.

There were indeed such individuals, like the geniuses within the major sects. Due to their techniques and the resources within their sects, as soon as they broke through, they were bestowed with fully-fledged low-grade magical treasures.

Even those with extraordinary talents could directly obtain mid-grade magical treasures.

With the sharpness of mid-grade magical treasures, coupled with the profound mysteries of their techniques, its indeed difficult for ordinary early Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators to contend with their sharpness, and being killed on the spot is not impossible.

Just like the astonis.h.i.+ngly talented Shen Yuanjun in the past, right after breaking through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, he directly killed someone of the same level, even someone who had expanded their Combined Aperture Tempering once.

It was because of such brilliance that he left countless legends and fame within the Thousand Feathers Alliance.

Guan Hongxuan looked at Chen Fei, a cultivator from a small sect, and he actually thought of himself as Shen Yuanjun? Simply inviting ridicule!

Seal! Suppress!

The Moonlight Pearl in Guan Hongxuans hand hung high, and its radiance instantly fell on Chen Fei. Wherever the radiance pa.s.sed, the natural aura stagnated, and the entire s.p.a.ce seemed to be directly sealed.

This Moonlight Pearl was the prototype of Guan Hongxuans magical treasure, lacking only some spiritual materials to refine it into a low-grade magical treasure. For the sake of this magical treasure, Guan Hongxuan had spent countless resources.

And this pearl had not been in vain, even though it was still just a magical treasure prototype, it already possessed some of the power of a low-grade magical treasure.

Below the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, falling under the radiance of this pearl was no ordinary matter; even being directly crushed into a pulp was commonplace. Even Combined Aperture Tempering cultivators would undoubtedly be greatly affected in terms of their speed.

In Guan Hongxuans estimation, someone like Chen Fei, who had just broken through, would be even more severely affected if they were not familiar with controlling the power of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

At that time, whether to fight or spare him would entirely depend on Guan Hongxuans decision. And if the person in front of him was weaker than he imagined, whats the harm in killing them directly!

Chen Fei sensed the radiance of the Moonlight Pearl falling on him, feeling as if a heavy burden had been added to his body, even his internal energy had suddenly become sluggish.

Chen Fei looked up at Guan Hongxuan, just catching a glimpse of the smugness in Guan Hongxuans eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

If it were really just a matter of his cultivation realm advancing to the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm, no magical treasures, and ordinary techniques, Chen Fei might not necessarily chase after him directly.

After all, the likelihood of killing the opponent was too low.

But Chen Fei was not just in the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm in terms of his elemental energy cultivation!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

A strange sound rang around Chen Feis body, and it was the sound produced when the power of the Moonlight Pearl was breaking free, and it broke free to a great extent, causing such a sound.

Guan Hongxuans face changed slightly, and he formed hand seals directly, injecting more elemental energy into the Moonlight Pearl. The radiance of the entire Moonlight Pearl suddenly surged, as if the moon itself had descended to the mortal realm.

Chen Fei could sense the increasing suppression force around him. His posture straightened slightly, and his spine on his back rose like a soaring dragon. Terrifying power instantly permeated every inch of his body.

Chen Fei thrust both hands forward, gripping on either side, then forcefully tore them apart to the left and right.

Crack!

A sound like the shattering of a mirror suddenly resounded, and the moonlight-like radiance abruptly dimmed. Guan Hongxuan only felt a momentary shock, losing his connection to the Moonlight Pearl.

At the same time, a fierce aura rushed towards him from the front. Guan Hongxuan raised his head, and in his pupils, he saw Chen Feis figure, already standing in front of him.

Guan Hongxuans pupils contracted slightly. The direct tearing of the Moonlight Pearls power was something he had never antic.i.p.ated. He had never imagined that someone would forcibly break the suppression of the Moonlight Pearl in this manner.

Without time to think about much else, the elemental energy within Guan Hongxuans body erupted instantly, and he thrust the Moonlight Pearl in his hand directly towards Chen Fei.

This pearl could seal and suppress others from a distance, but up close, it could also be used to overpower opponents.

For the sake of this treasure, Guan Hongxuan had expended countless efforts, and it wasnt just for simple sealing purposes. In fact, even the sealing power was just a disguise for this treasure.

The most powerful aspect of this pearls might was its tremendous force.

Guan Hongxuan had invested so much effort in this treasure because it was originally the remnant of a powerful magical artifact. Over the years, he had painstakingly repaired it to its current state.

Guan Hongxuan, though a lone cultivator, had grand ambitions. He aimed to ascend in his cultivation using the power of this pearl, rather than merely staying at the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

At this moment, as the Moonlight Pearl drew near, it seemed as if a towering mountain was descending upon them. There was no refuge in heaven or earth, the air compressed relentlessly, emitting a shrill whistle.

Even from a distance, it shook ones mind and made it difficult to breathe. If a Combined Aperture Tempering cultivator were caught within it, even one with peak Combined Aperture Tempering cultivation, they would be severely injured or on the brink of death from just a slight touch of its power.

Guan Hongxuan urged the Moonlight Pearl to crash towards Chen Feis head, his expression becoming ferocious and his eyes filled with cruelty.

Forcing him to make a move meant death!

Chen Fei felt the pressure from the Moonlight Pearl, and his expression s.h.i.+fted slightly. Guan Hongxuans strength was somewhat beyond Chen Feis expectations, but it was only an expectation.

The Qianyuan Sword had turned completely black, both its blade and hilt, as the Primordial Sword Scripture was currently in a state of complete reversal.

This Primordial Sword Scripture was extraordinarily fierce and belonged to forbidden techniques. It imposed immense pressure on the physical body. However, with Chen Feis current physique, this level of pressure was nothing at all.

Chen Fei took a step forward, the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, channeling all his power into the Qianyuan Sword, thrusting it forward.

As the sword edge pa.s.sed, the air was gradually shattered inch by inch, and then it collided with Guan Hongxuans Moonlight Pearl.

Boom!

The deafening explosion echoed in all directions, and ripples spread outward from the point of collision. At first, they were just fine ripples, but as they reached the outer circle, they turned into ma.s.sive waves.

The surrounding seawater was churned by the force, shooting into the sky and immediately turning into mist. From a distance, it looked like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami, shaking ones soul.

Guan Hongxuan, who originally had a fierce expression, froze for a moment. Feeling the force rebounding from the Moonlight Pearl, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

The Moonlight Pearl was originally meant to overpower others, but now, an even more overwhelming force was rebounding.

Guan Hongxuans arm emitted trembling sounds, and his body, which had been tempered by elemental energy countless times, also emitted the struggling sound of being overwhelmed.

Guan Hongxuan couldnt control his own body and was sent flying backward. A mouthful of blood had already risen in his throat, but he forced it down.

Guan Hongxuan wanted to escape using the force of the rebound, but just one move had already left him somewhat frightened. This wasnt the performance of someone who had just broken through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm; even those in the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm, at the first or second stage, were not like this.

But before Guan Hongxuan could truly escape, Chen Feis figure had already appeared in front of him, and the Qianyuan Sword in his hand came down forcefully.

Guan Hongxuans face turned pale. The collision just now had no effect on the opponent, and at this moment, he was still being repeatedly crushed by a tremendous force, leaving him stiff and unable to move.

Spare me! Guan Hongxuans eyes were filled with a pleading look, but Chen Fei showed no sign of mercy.

A protective s.h.i.+eld appeared outside of Guan Hongxuans body, completely enveloping him.

Seeing that Chen Fei remained unmoved by his pleas, Guan Hongxuans eyes filled with a trace of fierceness. His Combined Aperture Tempering realm violently trembled, and a surge of elemental energy flowed from within.

Bang!

As the Qianyuan Sword pa.s.sed, the protective s.h.i.+eld around Guan Hongxuans body shattered instantly, unable to resist for even a moment.

In the next moment, the Qianyuan Sword swept across Guan Hongxuans neck. Guan Hongxuans eyes widened in an instant, filled with regret and frustration.

Three strikes to kill. A Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator who had once been high and mighty had now become a soul beneath Chen Feis sword.

Under the Slaughter Spirit Technique, the vast spiritual essence from Guan Hongxuan flowed into the Qianyuan Sword. Chen Fei waved his right hand, and all the valuable items on Guan Hongxuan fell into his hands.

With a turn of the sword and the Slaughter Spirit Technique, the atmosphere at the scene was directly erased.

In the next moment, Chen Feis figure flickered, soared into the sky, and disappeared from the scene.

A gentle breeze rustled through, and Guan Hongxuans body turned into ashes, disappearing without a trace. No one knew that just moments ago, a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator had died here.

One day later, on Primordial Water Island.

Chen Fei had left Primordial Water Island over a month ago, but the island had remained peaceful. Since the last incident where Chen Fei killed a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, some rumors had spread among the surrounding factions.

Many people knew that Primordial Water Island was not to be trifled with, and instead of confrontations, more sects and forces had come to visit. The entire Primordial Water Island was thriving.

The disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect were cautiously inspecting their surroundings when suddenly someone exclaimed in shock. They pointed towards the distant sky, and the others instinctively turned to look. In the far-off sky, there was a dark speck flying towards Primordial Water Island.

Vaguely, it seemed like a figure.

The disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect had their expressions drastically change. If it was indeed a figure, it meant a Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert. Facing such a powerhouse, Primordial Water Island would be like a mantis trying to stop a car.

The alarm bells started ringing, and the elders from the Primordial Sword Sect and the Sunken Water Pavilion had already noticed the anomaly in the distant sky ahead of the disciples.

All the Aperture Tempering realm cultivators from both sects gathered in front of the main hall of the Primordial Sword Sect, nervously watching the approaching figure. Though the figure didnt exude a fierce aura, it still sent s.h.i.+vers down their spines.

Qiu Qingsheng and Ji Ruiqing exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with solemnity. Faced with a Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert, they were both too weak.

As the figure in the sky continued to approach, their appearance gradually became clearer.

Everyone watched nervously, and suddenly, someone blinked, their eyes slowly revealing an expression of disbelief. It wasnt just this person; others reacted the same way.

Qiu Qingsheng, who had been wearing a solemn expression, was momentarily stunned, and so was Ji Ruiqing. Zhou Zixuan, standing beside them, had his mouth slightly trembling, as if he were in a dream.

Some of the elders from the Primordial Sword Sect couldnt contain their emotions any longer, their eyes had turned red.

Chen Fei descended slowly in front of the main hall, looking at everyone, and a faint smile appeared on his face..
