Chapter 698: Chapter 272: Making a Move, Surprise Attack, Unleashing All Means (Part 2)

"Not to mention the strength of these people, if this provokes the Workshop Master Ye Hongyi to take action personally, the entire Divine Wind Valley Marketplace will be turned upside down."

As a cultivator within the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, he was well aware of the strength of Ye Yanshu.

Not invincible at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

But at the level of Foundation Establishment, he was definitely among the top existences.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but shake his head and was about to get up to leave when suddenly, a brilliant sword light appeared.

In an instant, his pupils shrank, and he couldn’t help but widen them.

He shouted in surprise, "What the...? Is this for real?

Is this person crazy?"

...

On the other side.

Zhou Changwang naturally didn’t know the thoughts of the tribulation cultivator who had intruded accidentally earlier.

He had been intermittently using the Great Cave Celestial Observation to monitor Ye Hongyi’s movements and naturally noticed as soon as the other had left the black market.

Therefore, he temporarily gave up the idea of attacking the tribulation cultivator and waited silently.

Then soon, even without using the Great Cave Celestial Observation, just a quick scan with the Spirit Eye Technique, he could see Ye Hongyi and several others appearing in the distance, rapidly approaching him.

A hundred zhang, seventy zhang, fifty zhang...

Zhou Changwang casually took out a few God Avoiding Pills and scattered them around him.

Then his divine sense stirred slightly.

Flying swords began pouring out of his storage bag one after another.

Forty zhang.

Silently, a layer of defense light membrane had already formed on him, it was the Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Light Shield he had long mastered to perfection.

Following this, he also activated the Nine-Layered Glazed Treasure Tower.

At that moment, the experienced elder instinctively showed a hint of vigilance, his eyes flickered, about to speak a warning.

Being a cultivator with over a hundred years of experience, this person was extremely perceptive to various dangers.

Thus even when he hadn’t discovered real danger, he instinctively stopped in his tracks.

"Elder Xie, what’s wrong?"

Ye Hongyi was also an exceptionally quick thinker, as he inquired, he flipped his hand, revealing a whip-shaped treasure artifact.

At the same time, a golden Spirit Shield appeared in his hand.

"Indeed, attacking such a strong individual is extremely difficult."

Zhou Changwang’s eyes showed no change.

Yet at that moment, he swiftly flew out from his hidden position.

His attack was already launched even before his body leaped out.

The first technique he employed was the Shocking God Needle!

This secret technique of divine sense attack was not only extremely fast but also silent and very difficult to detect.

At this moment, his target was precisely the elderly man who was about to warn the others.

"Ah..."

Then a scream of agony was heard.

The elder’s complexion instantly turned ashen pale, his body hunched, trembling, even his breath seemed to waver.

"Elder Xie..."

Ye Hongyi’s face changed drastically, quickly summoning the Spirit Shield.

With his other hand wielding the whip, he swung it swiftly, directly charging towards the source of the attack.

Meanwhile, the robust body cultivator was also very vigilant, taking out a protective treasure artifact to shield himself, while flipping his other hand to produce a red orb.

Without any hesitation, he crushed it.

Bang!

A seven-colored light swiftly rose from his hand, turning into a shocking flash of lightning, illuminating a hundred zhang around them.

Lightning Ball!

It was a small magical artifact in the cultivation realm, used for signaling and warning.

This Lightning Ball could often be linked to one’s heart spirit through simple refinement, producing a response upon detonation.

Clearly, the other end linked to this Lightning Ball must be Ye Yanshu, the Valley Master of Divine Wind Valley.

Because in his view, since the opponent dared to ambush Ye Hongyi, their strength must be formidable.

And the one who could quickly arrive to assist them was none other than Ye Yanshu.

"Indeed, the response was quick.

This means within thirty breaths, Ye Yanshu will arrive.

Thus I must conclude this swiftly!"

Zhou Changwang was startled at this, surprised somewhat by the body cultivator’s reaction.

After all, the opponent began calling for Ye Yanshu’s help the moment his attack landed, indicating they prioritized Ye Hongyi’s safety immensely.

His first thought was Ye Hongyi’s safety, not thinking that they could fend off or kill the attacker with their strength alone.

"However.

Thirty breaths are ample for me.

If I can’t end this in thirty breaths.

Then this operation is a failure for me.

I must follow my established principle, if I can’t succeed in one strike, I will retreat swiftly."

Thinking this, Zhou Changwang hesitated no longer.

Holding nothing back.

He immediately invoked the Foundation Establishment True Body.

Pure Yang True Body!

As he unleashed the True Body.

A massive phantom emerged, merging with him seamlessly.

In an instant.

He felt his aura strengthening quickly, with a surge in his vitality, not only did his True Essence Power become dense and potent, full of energy, even his divine sense became immensely profound and substantial.

Using the same magical techniques, he now exhibited multiple effects.

Without pause, he attacked Ye Hongyi.

Black Heaven Technique, Gravity Technique, Dungeon Technique.

Three techniques unleashed in quick succession.

Though these techniques were just First-Grade Techniques.

The disparity in power naturally allowed these low-tier techniques to achieve unexpected results.

Not to mention, he was also at the Foundation Establishment level, employing the Foundation Establishment True Body.

At this moment, Ye Hongyi felt darkness engulfing his vision, even his divine sense turned obscure, immediately shrouded in shadow.

Simultaneously, he felt a sudden heaviness, as if burdened with an invisible weight, making it difficult even to lift his feet.

"Hmph!"

Ye Hongyi snorted coldly, a red glow flashed over his body.

It immediately nullified the heaviness of the gravity, his eyes flashing with a ghostly light.

With the ghostly light flashing, the darkness was dispelled instantly.

His whip, like a stream of light, rushed out.

Not only did it break through the dungeon hinderance seamlessly, it also charged towards Zhou Changwang with unstoppable momentum.

"Second-Layer Foundation Establishment?

I must say, you have courage.

But you are equally ignorant..."

Ye Hongyi said as he poised to slay the opponent.

When suddenly, countless flying swords erupted towards the sky.

Flying swords, like countless fish, swarmed through the void, converging swiftly like birds returning to their nest.

"What is this?"

He was startled, his whip already thrust out.

Yet at the next moment.

He felt the spiritual energy in him stagnate briefly, as if it disappeared momentarily.

The True Essence Power attached to his whip also dissipated instantly.

Though it was merely a brief 0.3 seconds, he regained the sensation of True Essence Power within him.

But his attack was already neutralized.

Then, he could only watch helplessly as a gigantic long sword came crashing down towards him.

Even as he frantically hurled his Spirit Shield.

Boom!

Yet the massive sword crashed into the Spirit Shield, swiftly diminishing its spiritual energy, in a blink, it dissipated eighty percent.

"How can this be?"

Ye Hongyi’s expression changed again, filled with shock in his heart.

His defensive Spirit Shield was a Top-Grade Treasure Artifact, typical attacks couldn’t even make it budge.

At most, against a compeer in strength, it would merely dim its spiritual light by thirty percent.

Experiencing over fifty percent dimming was only in facing the first genius of his family.

But that was with the opponent reaching at least the Sixth-Layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Eighty percent?

It would take a full-force strike from a Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator at least.

Doesn’t this mean, this seemingly Second-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator before him, could unleash an attack comparable to a Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishment Cultivator?
