Chapter 1422: Swordsman Dugu Qinng

The incident on Long Scorpion Island once shocked the entire Demon Territory Mountain. Even these Ancient King Level entities have heard about it, after all, it involved a King of Desolate Beasts, and so many Mystic Heaven Position individuals from the Dugu Family and the Jun Family died… If any of the forces among them had been involved, they wouldn’t ignore a King of Desolate Beasts, nor would they silently bear such tremendous losses.

A Mystic Heaven Position expert, even a Peak Expert of Mystic Heaven Position, is absolutely the backbone and top-level core strength of major forces, and now so many have been slaughtered at once, it’s like having several bones chopped off and chunks of flesh gouged out! It’s not surprising to be furious.

Therefore, if it were not for the Ruins of the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants suddenly causing trouble, today, the most pivotal figure in the entire Demon Territory Mountain should still be Chen Fei.

Finally, a person from an unknown force, an Ancient King Level entity, spoke, looking deeply at Chen Fei.

“You have some nerve to provoke such a major event and still dare to appear here.”

“I stand tall and proud, with a clear conscience, why wouldn’t I dare come?” Chen Fei said plainly, causing a ripple among all the King Level entities present.

“Alright, alright, alright! Such boldness, truly deserving of being someone who dares to go all out. Dugu Qing, what do you think?” Another Ancient King Level entity suddenly laughed, looking towards an old man not far away with a dark green longsword slung at his waist, holding it with a long and narrow blade. His expression was half-smiling.

The latter’s expression twitched slightly; he looked toward Chen Fei without speaking, but everyone could feel the strong killing intent emanating from him.

“Hehe, things are getting interesting…” One by one, the Ancient King Level entities showed faint smiles. Jun Yu, the old fox, had already reconciled with Chen Fei, holding no grievances, but the Dugu Family was different. Now facing each other, who knows if Dugu Qing can hold back his anger.

“Sir, you’ve slain so many from the Dugu Family, now meeting me, aren’t you going to give an explanation?” Indeed, Dugu Qing, being an Ancient King Level entity, even though knowing Chen Fei’s strength might not be inferior to his own, did not back down, speaking coldly.

“Explanation? What explanation do you want? I have no explanations to give.” However, Chen Fei spoke extremely calmly. Explanation? The people have been killed, the dead are dead, what explanation could there be?

Upon these words, many people’s eyes narrowed, surprised to see Chen Fei remaining so assertive in the face of the Dugu Family’s Ancient King Level entity. Does he really think Dugu Qing is the same as the worthless ones he killed before?

No one would be so stupid as to think that, right?

“No explanation?” Dugu Qing’s face stiffened, his eyes glinting as though spewing sharp edges, staring at Chen Fei for a long while. Eventually, he unsheathed the dark green longsword slung across his waist and spoke with a cold expression, “It seems I can only demand an explanation from you myself.”

In the distance, everyone’s faces turned grim abruptly, and then their eyes began to look somewhat restless.

When Ancient King Level entities engage in combat, it absolutely ends in catastrophic destruction, the heavens and earth shaking.

The scope it can affect means that even the area they are currently standing in won’t be safe.

Only those Ancient King Level old folks in the sky from various major forces remained calm, as if nothing had happened, or indifferent, or still watching with mild interest, or smilingly observing Dugu Qing and Chen Fei.

Such a level of confrontation is intriguing to them.

Clang! Suddenly, a long wailing tone erupted from the dark green longsword in Dugu Qing’s hand, causing all the Ancients Kings to squint because this shrill noise caused their hearts to throb turbulently with chaos…

“Dugu Qing, this old man has gotten stronger again.” An Ancient King murmured to himself, just this mere whistling sound could exert pressure on him, which made him very apprehensive.

Not only him, but many other Ancient King Level entities also had flickering eyes and an unsettled demeanor at this moment.

But it was also at this moment that Dugu Qing suddenly acted.

He placed the long sword diagonally in front.

Crackling!!

Suddenly, endless dazzling green light surged from the dark green long sword, resembling a sky-reaching pillar, swiftly converging and forming an extremely oppressive force attached to the sword’s edge.

Crack, vaguely the sound of fragmentation appeared in the heavens and earth.

Dugu Qing’s eyes burst with powerful sharp light, suddenly slashing out with a sword.

“Long Sky Sword…”

“Slay Eagle!”

Buzz!!

The resonant sword clang echoed the skies; this sword seemed to be an extraordinary attack, causing Chen Fei’s hair to stand on end instantly.

In his vision, it seemed as though everything was filled with that sword, as if the Heavenly Dao was cleaving down from it!

“Hiss… I’ve long heard that Dugu Qing mastered this supreme sword technique to the transcendental level. Never thought it was true…”

The crowd was amazed, with more than a few gasping in disbelief.

The transcendental level of mastery in supreme sword technique—this is not to be trifled with; no wonder Dugu Qing is so confident.

“A transcendental level Minor Divine Technique sword?” Chen Fei’s expression appeared serious as this sword’s control reached a transcendental level… But fortunately, this maneuver seemed to be just a single-star Minor Divine Technique.

“Remnant Moon Sword Book!”

With a sharp shout from Chen Fei, mountains and rivers moved, strands of terrifying Sword Qi domains enveloped the area surrounding him.

“Boom!”

The remnant moon emerged, and above the sky, there was actually a star even more radiant than the moon, entirely forged from terrifying Sword Qi, filling this Sword Momentum Domain with unbelievable waves of destruction.

“What? Dharmakaya Heaven and Earth?!”

“No, that’s not right, this should just be an illusion of the Minor Divine Art… However, what level of Minor Divine Art is this, that it can give me such an immense sense of oppression?!”

…

Many Ancient King Level experts were filled with doubt and bewilderment, such a scene was clearly similar to the legendary Dharmakaya Heaven and Earth of a Powerhouse of the Saint Realm. Even if it wasn’t, it was definitely a terrifying method, far beyond an ordinary one-star Minor Divine Art.

“Zheng zheng zheng…”

The terrifying power descended from that large star, actually infusing into the Imperial Star King Sword, filling the entirety of the half-step Supreme Spiritual Artifact.

A terrifying wave also subsequently emerged from the blade itself.

“Hah!” With a low shout, Chen Fei focused all his attention, his gaze filled with a frightening sharpness, suddenly wielding his sword.

“Second Form of the Remnant Moon Sword Book…”

“Sword Star of the Prefect!”

A terrifying sword strike seemed to cut through the stars, the grey oppressive hue instantly evaporating the Demon Qi within the Demon Sea. It collided with Dugu Qinng’s masterful sword technique.

“Boom!”

The sky seemed to shatter at that moment, the void trembled, and then everyone felt that area became a turbulent place of destruction, where nothing existed anymore, except for the unstable remnants of both sides’ divine powers, proving the unrest of the place.

Upon seeing this, people couldn’t help but be stunned. Was this the clamor of an encounter between Ancient King Level entities? So terribly frightening… But who won and who lost, or was it a draw?

In the sky, the destructive waves gradually faded, revealing the figures of the two individuals.

Dugu Qinng stood there calmly with his sword, yet, the base of his thumb was slightly bleeding.

“Did Dugu Qinng lose?” Many Ancient King Level experts’ gazes stiffened. Dugu Qinng’s strength wasn’t weak, even stronger than many of them present, and now, he was defeated?

“No, that person is also injured.” But the ancient kings quickly noticed that Chen Fei was indeed injured too, with blood soaking part of the clothing on his back… seeping from his shoulder.

A draw, or mutual defeat.

Everyone, especially the ancient king-level figures from various forces, watched Chen Fei intently and with intrigue.

They originally thought this guy was just an ordinary Ancient King level, but unexpectedly, his combat power was on par with Dugu Qinng.

“Still want to fight?” People were filled with awe and reverence, yet couldn’t hide their excitement, looking at Dugu Qinng and Chen Fei. If they continued to fight, it might lead to spectacular scenes they had never witnessed in their entire lives, drawing their yearning.

But at this moment, Dugu Qinng retracted his sword and coldly looked at Chen Fei saying, “After this matter is over, I will seek you out for instruction again.”

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but be taken aback. The ancient king-level entity of the Dugu Family, Lone Emotion Ancestor, decided to withdraw first?

But upon further thought, it wasn’t that surprising.

After all, the most pressing matter now was the Ruins of the Divine Emperor of the Four Elephants, the relics of a Powerhouse of the Saint Realm, which clearly mattered more than any disputes or grudges.

Moreover, now it seemed Chen Fei’s strength wasn’t weak at all, and if they truly continued fighting, it was uncertain who would gain the upper hand.

“Always ready to await,”

Just as Chen Fei was about to sheath his sword, the next moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed intensely.

Because, before he knew it, a ghostly figure appeared as if from nowhere, like aurora, incredibly fast, silently appearing in the sky dozens of meters behind him, diving down like a great roc spreading its wings.

“Aurora Golden Pillar Strike!”

The ghostly figure’s five fingers turned into five dazzling golden pillars, exerting a suffocating, majestic pressure, collapsing the sky and earth, and wildly tearing towards the unsuspecting Chen Fei.

With a tearing sound, Chen Fei’s shoulder was directly torn, flesh and blood blurred, sending him flying backward.

Unsurprisingly, this time Chen Fei was blasted incredibly miserably, feeling as though the bones and flesh in his shoulder area were about to shatter entirely, overwhelmed with pain.

“An ambush?!”

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were fluctuating violently, then fixed intently onto the ghostly figure replacing Chen Fei in the sky.

That figure was none other than the Ancient King Level Expert of the Dong Family, famed as the Aurora Ancestor, Dong Biejun!

However, at this moment, his face didn’t show much satisfaction from his actions, instead, he slightly frowned, staring at Chen Fei’s bloodied shoulder murmuring in surprise, “Such hard bones…”
