Chapter 613: Slaying the Body and Slaying the Spirit

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

This trapping formation had been created solely by Qu Mingdao himself, so naturally, only Qu Mingdao knew the secret of the formation’s eye.

Even for those formations well-known to many, once the formation was activated, the true position of the formation’s eye could be fixed by oneself.

There wouldn’t have been a situation where one formation corresponded to only one eye position.

Moreover, from the moment the trapping formation appeared to being broken, only a moment had passed. In just that moment, the opponent had already found the formation’s eye. This was quite an exaggerated situation.

Qu Mingdao suddenly understood why Master Yuanmin had personally taken action to capture Chen Fei. The opponent had indeed displayed a kind of mystery that ordinary Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators lacked.

Glancing at Chen Fei, Qu Mingdao’s figure flickered and appeared not far from Tong Linyun.

With the trapping formation broken and unable to hinder Tong Linyun and the others any longer, Qu Mingdao couldn’t simply let them leave. Otherwise, Master Yuanmin would definitely inquire into the matter later.

However, Qu Mingdao’s cultivation had only been at the mid-stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Confronting Tong Linyun and the others head-on would obviously not have been a wise move.

After all, as long as Tong Linyun managed to entangle him, with other early-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators joining the siege, the possibility of Qu Mingdao’s death would have been too high. He was not Master Yuanmin, who could ignore the attacks of early-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.

Qu Mingdao formed hand seals, and runes condensed from the void, then scattered in various directions.

Since childhood, Qu Mingdao had shown exceptional talent in formations. When he broke through the Combined Aperture Tempering realm years ago, it was also through breaking formations. Therefore, facing Tong Linyun and the others at this moment, Qu Mingdao didn’t seek to harm or trap them.

As long as he could slow down their departure, just enough for Master Yuanmin to arrive, then his mission would be considered accomplished.

Seeing Qu Mingdao’s appearance, Tong Linyun understood his intention and couldn’t help but shout, then charged straight towards him. Qin Haishan and the others followed Tong Linyun without hesitation.

Just as Chen Fei had said earlier, as long as they left first, Chen Fei would catch up later.

Initially, they had only thought Chen Fei was trying to use his own strength to secure their escape route. Now they realized Chen Fei could actually accomplish it.

Staying behind would only make things worse for them.

Master Yuanmin’s eyelids twitched when he saw Chen Fei break through the formation.

“Your agility is impressive, but if you keep hiding, I’ll have to kill a few of them first!”

Master Yuanmin pointed at Tong Linyun and the others in the distance, speaking coldly, showing no concern for appearances of bullying the weak with strength. Or perhaps, for Master Yuanmin, personal gain was paramount, while other considerations were secondary.

“Don’t worry, I just wanted to test my agility.” Chen Fei looked at Master Yuanmin and chuckled softly.

Indeed, Chen Fei wanted to see if, after integrating the teleportation runes, his agility had truly reached a new level as he had speculated.

Although he had tested it slightly in the training room in Sea Dominion City, martial arts were something that could only be understood after experiencing real combat.

Master Yuanmin’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing Chen Fei’s words.

“How daring of you to test your agility? Wait until I break your legs, then let’s see how you’ll test it in the future!”

Master Yuanmin’s face was cold and stern. He leaned forward slightly, exuding a majestic aura that soared to the sky, and then suddenly disappeared from his original position. When he reappeared, the blade in his hand was already filled with terrifying sword energy.

The Extreme Slaughter Sword!

Extreme ruthlessness does not mean severing human emotions; rather, it refers to the crucial moment when one personally kills the most important people to oneself.

Through the act of personally killing loved ones, friends, and lovers, one can undergo a conflict transformation in extreme pain, which then drives a breakthrough in internal energy.

Undoubtedly, this was a cultivation technique that extinguished human nature. However, it couldn’t be denied that continuing to cultivate this sword technique could allow one to break through martial arts realms more quickly.

Master Yuanmin’s talent in the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was not outstanding, but his cultivation speed was only slightly slower than those geniuses, surpassing the vast majority of his peers.

He relied on this extreme slaughter sword technique.

As Master Yuanmin’s sword slashed towards him, Chen Fei’s ears faintly heard someone’s gentle and soothing voice, as if whispering, but immediately, this voice turned into a wail.

Within the wail was a resentment as vast as the surging river, filling his mind.

Unwillingness, disbelief, reluctance, love, hate, parting.

The extreme contrast between these two extremes was akin to driving one insane.

This was the Extreme Slaughter Sword, where the spirit was slashed before the body. If one even faltered for a moment, the consequences were already sealed.

Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness was as firm as a rock. Amidst the roaring of dragons and elephants, he suppressed all anomalies.

Stepping forward, wherever his feet touched, countless ripples appeared in the void, as if there was an incomparable force ready to break through the void.

Countless sword intents began to emerge around Chen Fei. As he thrust his sword forward, the sword intents began to converge, then completely gathered on the blade of the Qianyuan Sword.

The already sharp aura of the Qianyuan Sword instantly soared, along with Chen Fei’s aura, which skyrocketed from the early stage to the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

Sensing the change in Chen Fei’s aura, Master Yuanmin’s originally cold and stern gaze began to shake violently.

In the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm? How could it be the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm!

From entering the early stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm to reaching the later stage, less than ten years had passed?

Among those recorded in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, even those with the strongest talents would find it difficult to compare to Chen Fei.

Was it a special secret method, like the illusion of the peak Third-tier peak-level sea monster before? But at such a close distance, not only was Chen Fei’s aura in the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, even the edge of the sword in his hand at this moment was in the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

No, the sharpness of this sword edge was even stronger than the average Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator’s. The cultivation technique Chen Fei practiced was even more profound than the Extreme Slaughter Sword, and his level of comprehension was extremely high!

To reach the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm in just ten years, and even comprehend the intricacies of the cultivation technique to such a profound level, how was this possible?

Even Min Yanlu, after reaching adulthood, had made rapid progress in cultivation, but it wasn’t as exaggerated as Chen Fei’s progress!

This child must not be allowed to live, otherwise, in the future, he would surely be a constant source of anxiety!

Master Yuanmin’s internal energy violently trembled, and the ethereal Qi Flowers of Combined Aperture silently blossomed within him. The power of the blade in Master Yuanmin’s hand increased another level in an instant, reaching the pinnacle of his state.

Not only that, Master Yuanmin’s eyes suddenly turned gray, and the secret technique recorded in the Extreme Slaughter Sword began to unfold within his body.

Extreme ruthlessness, severing emotions and righteousness!

Master Yuanmin’s aura erupted, and the elemental Qi in all directions instantly boiled.

Tong Linyun and the others in the distance couldn’t help but turn their heads, witnessing the terrifying and chilling aura emanating from Master Yuanmin.

Such power, let alone Qin Haishan and the others, even Tong Linyun himself, once struck by a sword, would undoubtedly meet their demise without any chance of survival.

“Dodge…”

Tong Linyun instinctively blurted out because of Master Yuanmin’s terror, causing everyone to overlook the fact that Chen Fei also emitted the aura of the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm at this moment.

Qu Mingdao’s hands, forming seals, paused slightly. He hadn’t expected Master Yuanmin to unleash such power to deal with Chen Fei. Wasn’t the plan to capture him alive?

Now, it seemed far from capturing him alive. Instead, it appeared more like Master Yuanmin was eager to slay Chen Fei with a single sword strike to eliminate any future troubles!

“Hum!”

As they watched Master Yuanmin’s transformation, four waves of fluctuations emanated from Chen Fei’s body.

Aperture-Cracking Technique! Blood Ignition Technique! Heart-Breaking Technique! Transmutation Art!

The four forbidden techniques instantly activated within Chen Fei’s body, and his aura, like the wings of a great roc, pervaded in all directions.

Compared to Chen Fei’s current aura, Master Yuanmin’s originally fierce aura suddenly seemed insignificant.

The rapidly flowing blood within Chen Fei’s body roared like an ancient behemoth.

The determination that Master Yuanmin originally held to slay Chen Fei here shattered upon sensing Chen Fei’s aura.

What kind of monster was he facing?

In the blink of an eye, everything happened. The next moment, the two sword blades clashed.

“Boom!”

The void rippled, and a tremendous sound reverberated in all directions. The sea surface sank dozens of meters, and the clouds in the sky were first pierced through, then dissipated entirely.

The sword blade in Master Yuanmin’s hand only hesitated for a moment before recoiling and striking his own chest.

A protective shield appeared on the surface of Master Yuanmin’s body, but it flickered and burst into pieces. The momentum of Master Yuanmin’s sword remained undiminished, continuing to strike his flesh.

Skin twisted and shattered, followed by flesh and bones, all turning into a blur in an instant.

Master Yuanmin spewed out a mist of blood, completely unable to control his body as he flew backward, his mind blank.

In the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, with the power of the four forbidden techniques and terrifying physical strength, Master Yuanmin was only slightly superior in cultivation level.

In all other aspects, there was no comparison. It took him over two hundred years of slaughter and sacrifice to reach his current level of cultivation.

How long had it taken the other side?

Master Yuanmin had always thought he had sufficiently esteemed Chen Fei, and even a few months ago, he had personally tested him, believing it was foolproof.

Yet, today’s outcome proved otherwise.

“Run!”

Master Yuanmin’s mind momentarily went blank, then immediately reacted. He had done everything to ensure he could go further on the path of martial arts. He couldn’t allow himself to die so easily.

As long as he lived, everything was still possible.

The flesh and blood under Master Yuanmin’s skin began to disappear, and in an instant, his entire body turned into skin and bones.

The Extreme Slaughter Sword, capable of slaying one’s dearest, could naturally also slay oneself.

After all, one’s greatest love was oneself. If even oneself could be slain, then what in the world couldn’t be?

Master Yuanmin’s body suddenly disappeared, only to reappear several miles away, moving at a speed that defied imagination!

Glancing back at Chen Fei, the sinister look in Master Yuanmin’s eyes sent shivers down one’s spine. Just as Master Yuanmin was about to continue fleeing, he suddenly realized that Chen Fei had vanished.

A chill crept into Master Yuanmin’s heart. Before he could react, he felt a coldness around his neck, and then his strength began to dissipate.

At that moment, Master Yuanmin realized that Chen Fei’s aura had appeared in front of him.

How could he be so fast?

Even at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, it was impossible to have such speed. How did Chen Fei arrive in front of him?

Master Yuanmin struggled to open his eyes and looked at Chen Fei, his gaze filled with confusion and unwillingness. He should have been able to escape. What had happened? What had occurred?

“Clang!”

The Qianyuan Sword absorbed the essence of the later stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, emitting a sword cry.

Several miles away, Tong Linyun and the others were dumbfounded, unsure of how to express their feelings at this moment..
