Until One Side Dies

Chi Shengsheng’s sword, if it had been anyone at the early stage of the

Mountain Sea Realm, would have required strict preparation. Even though they had condensed three Divine Palaces, it would still have been the case.

Whether they could have withstood it in the end would have been a major question.

The innate talent, Phoenix’s Cry! The innate talent, Sharpness!

Phoenix’s Cry, when Chi Shengsheng broke through the Mountain Sea Realm, was invoked by the Heavenly Phoenix Song Technique he had practiced, capable of boosting speed, not limited to body movements or techniques, and could also have enhanced the burning effect in his techniques.

It could have been said that this was an extremely outstanding innate talent, laying a solid foundation for Chi Shengsheng’s profound accumulation.

Therefore, after condensing the third Divine Palace, Chi Shengsheng, based on Phoenix’s Cry, had broken through the void and obtained the second innate talent, Sharpness.

Although it had been just an ordinary innate talent, it would still have elevated Chi Shengsheng’s strength to another level.

Thus, when he had thrust out with all his strength at that moment, the entire space had seemed as if it had been about to be pierced through by it.

But even with such a sword, at that moment, after being blocked by the Qianyuan Sword, it could no longer have advanced half a step.

The majestic sword essence contained in the descending sword, its sharpness, burning effect, and various other characteristics, had been like sinking into the depths of the ocean, fundamentally having no impact on Chen Fei.

“That sword, not bad!”

After the Qianyuan Sword, Chen Fei looked up at Chi Shengsheng.

This sword directly illuminated the innate talent territory.

Chen Fei’s current upper limit of pressure, compared to before, had become

much stronger.

Whether it was the condensation of the second Divine Palace, the elevation of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, or the perfection of the Purple Cloud Profound Demon Sword, all of these enhancements contributed to Chen Fei’s upper limit.

It was precisely because of this that when he first met Saint Xizhou, Saint Xizhou alone could unleash Chen Fei’s innate talent territory.

And before, when Saint Xizhou and Qi Yunhong joined forces, they could only force out the territory, unable to truly break through Chen Fei.

Now, with one sword from Chi Shengsheng revealing the innate talent territory, it was apparent that it had the combined might of Saint Xizhou and Qi Yunhong. With such power, an ordinary early-stage Mountain Sea Realm encounter with Chi Shengsheng would have no chance of retaliation.

Unfortunately, Chi Shengsheng encountered Chen Fei.

Chi Shengsheng had three Divine Palaces, two innate talents, and the potential akin to a Sacred Land Prodigy.

While Chen Fei had two Divine Palaces and already three innate talents.

With no achievement from the sword strike, Chi Shengsheng’s enraged state cooled considerably. Sensing within his mind, there was no trace of Zeng Huaizheng and the other two within the Thousand Light Formation. Only in the farthest distance, there seemed to be the spiritual treasure once used by Zeng Huaizheng and the others, constantly floating up and down.

If the Thousand Light Formation fell into Chen Fei’s hands and Zeng

Huaizheng and the others were not found here, one could still deceive oneself

with other reasons.

But with all three spiritual treasures in the distance, the truth was crystal clear.

Combining the strength of three people not only failed to deal with the person in front of them but was also ruthlessly slaughtered.

That place a hundred miles away was where Zeng Huaizheng and the others

were killed.

Ironically, Chi Shengsheng had previously thought that the battle here had been too short, assuming that Zeng Huaizheng and the others had accidentally let someone escape.

But now, this place seemed more like a trap to lure him in, and he and Cheng Haixiong had indeed walked right into it.

Fixed mindset!

Always thinking that Zeng Huaizheng and the others attacking one person wouldn’t pose any problem, at worst, they would let someone escape. But who could have imagined that the prey they had always thought of was actually a formidable opponent!

“Who are you!” Chi Shengsheng looked at Chen Fei, shouting angrily.

Could such a force without much background truly emerge in the Mountain Sea

Realm?

Cultivation was not child’s play. Without a renowned teacher to guide, without profound techniques, no matter how talented one was, they would still encounter many detours.

“Now, what’s the point of asking that?”

Chen Fei chuckled softly, and the Qianyuan Sword in his hand trembled slightly. The immense force instantly lifted Chi Shengsheng’s descending sword.

Chi Shengsheng attempted to resist, but found that he couldn’t withstand this force at all. As he raised his eyes, a majestic sword light was already flickering before him.

A sense of horror surged from the depths of his heart, and both his mind and soul emitted intense warnings to Chi Shengsheng.

Unable to resist, and if he couldn’t resist, he would die!

Chi Shengsheng instinctively retreated, activating the Heavenly Phoenix Song Technique.

The innate talent, Phoenix’s Cry, endowed Chi Shengsheng with unparalleled speed, just like the rapid thrust of the sword before. Now, as he retreated, it was as if he teleported, leaving no trace for anyone to catch.

With this retreat, he covered several miles, directly arriving at the other side of

the formation.

Although Chi Shengsheng didn’t want to admit it, he knew that he probably couldn’t defeat the person before him. If he persisted, his life would likely be in jeopardy.

At this moment, he had to break through the Thousand Light Formation while still uninjured, move back to the valley, and then seek other solutions. Killing four Mountain Sea Realm cultivators from the Heavenly Illusion Valley, as long as the opponent didn’t have a background from a Sacred Land, they could expect relentless pursuit from the Heavenly Illusion Valley until death! Just as Chi Shengsheng was about to maneuver the descending sword in his hand to attack the formation, a figure appeared in front of him like a shadow, and the horrifying tip of the sword continued to thrust towards him.

Compared to before, Chi Shengsheng’s distance from the sword tip not only didn’t shorten, but it was getting closer and closer.

The deathly scream almost echoed through Chi Shengsheng’s soul.

Chi Shengsheng’s pupils contracted sharply. Teleportation?

Phoenix’s Cry endowed Chi Shengsheng with extreme speed, allowing him to have the ability to maneuver through any predicament.

Unable to win? Fine, just run away. After running for a distance, he could directly teleport back to the Heavenly Illusion Valley.

But now, seeing Chen Fei displaying the innate talent of teleportation, how could speed compete with teleportation?

At this moment, a chill ran through Chi Shengsheng’s whole body. He realized that he might really die!

“Phoenix!”

Chi Shengsheng roared furiously. It was already too late to retreat, and it had little effect anyway. Now, he could only fight desperately, fighting for his own survival.

The phoenix shadow behind Chi Shengsheng seemed to transform from illusion into reality. The blazing flames burned the vitality of heaven and eart , and Chi Shengsheng’s soul ignited. He turned into a blazing flame.

In the flames, the descending sword manifested nine illusory swords, then the nine swords merged back into one.

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion resounded in all directions, and the formation trembled

violently.

The sword shadows in Chi Shengsheng’s hand shattered, and the immense force tore apart the flames burning on his body. Chi Shengsheng involuntarily staggered backward, blood continuously overflowing from the corners of his mouth.

Even blood streaks seeped from Chi Shengsheng’s eyes and ears at this moment.

With all his efforts, Chi Shengsheng managed to block the attack, but he was immediately severely injured.

Chi Shengsheng looked up at Chen Fei, his lips trembling slightly. Compared to his miserable state, Chen Fei didn’t have any injuries at all, it could be said that he was completely unscathed.

No, not completely unscathed. Chi Shengsheng noticed that the other party’s momentum was becoming increasingly high-spirited.

Wasn’t that sword just now the other party’s full strength? Had the gap between them reached such a level? Was this still the early stage of the Mountain Sea Realm?

Suddenly, a piece of information about a cultivation technique flashed through Chi Shengsheng’s mind – the Suppressing Dragon Elephant of the Saint Yan Sect!

The more intense the battle, the stronger one became. As long as one couldn’t break through the opponent’s defense limit, they could forcibly refine the opponent’s strength for their own use.

This cultivation technique is indeed stored in the Heavenly Illusion Valley, but very few people practice it, and even if one cultivates the Suppressing Dragon Elephant to its peak, they cannot reach such strength.

Otherwise, even if the Suppressing Dragon Elephant is difficult to comprehend, there would be many practitioners.

Before he could fully understand the reason, Chen Fei had already thrust another sword.

Compared to the previous sword, the power of this one was even more terrifying, as if it could overturn rivers and seas, or even surpass them by far.

Chi Shengsheng dared not counterattack anymore. The descending sword in his hand rotated, covering all his vital points.

Compared to Cheng Haixiong’s sword style, the power displayed by Chi Shengsheng at this moment was undoubtedly stronger.

Even with the Heavenly Eye and the innate talent Sword Mastery, there were hardly any flaws to be seen. Chi Shengsheng’s talent directly demonstrated the profoundness of the Heavenly Phoenix Song Technique.

“Boom!”

A huge ripple appeared on the Thousand Light Formation, as if it would shatter in the next moment.

Chi Shengsheng speculated in his heart that Chen Fei was using the Suppressing Dragon Elephant at this moment. His sword style was virtual, not exerting force, to prevent Chen Fei from borrowing more strength.

Perhaps this way, he still had a glimmer of hope.

But as the two swords collided, the light in Chi Shengsheng’s eyes quickly dimmed.

His plan was well thought out, but the power of Chen Fei’s sword far exceeded Chi Shengsheng’s estimation.

No matter how frantically Chi Shengsheng stimulated the elemental force within his body, the descending sword was still forcibly cut open. Chi Shengsheng tried to control the sword, but found that he couldn’t, and watched helplessly as the descending sword smashed into his chest.

Clothes, skin, flesh, bones-wherever the descending sword passed, Chi Shengsheng’s chest instantly became a mess of flesh and blood. Before the pain could spread from his chest, the sword light once again appeared before his eyes.

Chi Shengsheng’s body trembled, realizing that he suddenly felt lighter. Subconsciously lowering his head, he saw a familiar figure, and terror engulfed all his senses in an instant.

Chi Shengsheng wanted to scream, but found that he couldn’t make any sound.

His strength dissipated, and he plunged into complete darkness.

Chen Fei sheathed his sword, dispelled the Blood Soul Seal, and activated the Slaughter Spirit Technique. The spiritual essence of both Chi Shengsheng and Cheng Haixiong condensed into Chen Fei’s hands.

Chi Shengsheng was very strong, and he even realized the existence of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant. But unfortunately, he realized it too late. Chen Fei’s sword, regardless of any method Chi Shengsheng tried, was unstoppable.

In fact even without the absorption of external forces by the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, it was inevitable for Chen Fei to kill Chi Shengsheng. It’s just that it wouldn’t have been as swift and decisive as it was now.

Chen Fei turned his head and looked at his distant clone, absorbing the spiritual essences of three Mountain Sea Realm cultivators. At this moment, the clone finally broke through the barrier of the Mountain Sea Realm.

A Divine Palace condensed within the clone’s body, and the shadow of domain teleportation appeared within it. Chen Fei looked at the changes in the clone with some curiosity.

Previously, Chen Fei had wondered what the clone would use to suppress the Divine Palace within its body after breaking through the Mountain Sea Realm. He hadn’t expected it to directly borrow Chen Fei’s own innate talent.

Chen Fei waved his right hand, and the spiritual essences of Chi Shengsheng and Cheng Haixiong surged into the clone’s body. The cultivation that had been stagnant in the clone began to rise again.

The limit of the Bloodline Origin Shadow Technique was the peak of the early stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, which was three Divine Palaces.

Both Chi Shengsheng and Cheng Haixiong were outstanding figures in the early stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, with profound foundations, especially Chi Shengsheng’s three Divine Palaces. Therefore, the spiritual essences extracted from the two of them were extremely rich.

Chen Fei waved his hand, retracting the Thousand Light Formation and all spiritual treasures, and then removed most of the soul imprints. He then disappeared on the spot.

When he reappeared, he was at the location where he had previously killed Zeng Huaizheng and the others.

Removing most of the remaining soul imprints here, Chen Fei then teleported five times in succession, arriving more than four hundred miles away. Then, he used the Sky Travel to head towards the direction of Thousand Geese City. Flying out more than three thousand miles, a second Divine Palace appeared within the clone’s body, with the innate talent of domain suppression manifesting within it.

Approaching a location nearly eight thousand miles away, the third Divine Palace appeared, with the innate talent of Sword Mastery within it. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away, the Heavenly Illusion Valley discovered that five Mountain Sea Realm cultivators had died successively, including the exceptionally talented Chi Shengsheng.
