Chapter 1693 - 1690: Gang Beating

Chapter 1693: Chapter 1690: Gang Beating

Outside the cave, Wang Chunyang was targeted first by Xiao Yanfei’s Divine Sense after launching an attack to hinder him. Xiao Yanfei, determined to directly crush him, suddenly teleported, but was pushed back by a single stroke from Wang Chunyang.

Even though Wang Chunyang had only just broken through to the Core Formation Stage, his Sword Dao Realm had already reached a very high level. Coupled with an indomitable aura and the life-or-death fear of facing a powerful enemy bent on killing him, the sword he thrust out was even stronger than before, forcing Xiao Yanfei to instantly teleport away, unwilling to face this sword directly.

However, Xiao Yanfei was indeed a Late-stage Nascent Soul Master, and the difference in strength was obvious.

This person kept flashing attacks with instant teleportation. Although each move was merely the simplest technique attack, its power was overwhelmingly formidable to Wang Chunyang at the Core Formation Stage, and within mere breaths, Wang Chunyang’s face turned pale, drenched in sweat, completely suppressed.

Every sword thrust he made was easily dissolved by Xiao Yanfei, while every casual strike from Xiao Yanfei required his full effort to confront.

"Hmph, a mere Core Formation Stage Sword Cultivator dares to act recklessly in front of me!" Xiao Yanfei snorted coldly, slapping out a fierce palm wind straight at Wang Chunyang’s chest.

Wang Chunyang’s expression changed, hastily revolving his sword to block.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, Wang Chunyang felt a tyrannical force transmitted through the long sword, causing his arm to go numb. He staggered back repeatedly, fresh blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"So strong!" Wang Chunyang thought in shock.

He had believed that after breaking through to the Core Formation Stage, his Sword Dao cultivation had rapidly improved, making him at least able to contend a little with a Late-stage Nascent Soul Master.

But in actual combat, he realized he was too naive.

The gap between Late-stage Nascent Soul and Early-stage Core Formation was vast, like a chasm!

Moreover, the opponent clearly hadn’t exerted full strength, without using powerful talismans or Magic Treasures, or even drawing out the Magic Sword.

"Vermin, dare draw the sword against me, you deserve death!"

Killing intent flashed in Xiao Yanfei’s eyes as he finally summoned the Magic Sword.

Under his powerful Divine Sense control, the Magic Sword streaked across the horizon like a meteor, charging toward Wang Chunyang with astonishing speed.

Wang Chunyang’s pupils contracted in fright.

This sword was plain, without Sword Intent or Sword force, merely a Flying Sword controlled by a cultivator through mana and Divine Sense.

Yet even such swordsmanship was extremely fast and far more powerful than his strongest thrust.

The only flaw was that this Sword Control Technique lacked the ’momentum’ of Sword Qi and Sword Intent released by a true Sword Cultivator.

Even the speed lagged significantly.

But even such Sword Control Technique left Wang Chunyang flustered, unable to manage.

Every time he thrust on collision, he felt his Magic Sword in mourning, as the force from his own mana and Physical Body Realm was far inferior compared to Xiao Yanfei’s Sword Control Technique power.

In an instant, cracks appeared on Wang Chunyang’s sword-holding right hand, with blood splattering out.

The disparity was too great!

If not for the prior surprise assault, coupled with his breakthrough of the strongest momentum in that one sword, he might not have been able to block the opponent even momentarily.

Just then, a violent Sword Qi rushed forth.

Xiao Yanfei was startled, his heart in shock!

He thought he had already severely injured the opponent with his Divine Sense attack, only to find that this Sword Cultivator was still unharmed and could launch such a powerful attack!

Damned Sword Cultivator!

Truly troublesome!

If not for his realm being far above theirs, by their swordsmanship alone, he might have perished here.

Xiao Yanfei decisively abandoned the chance to directly kill Wang Chunyang, recalling the Magic Sword to his hand and, instead of instant teleporting to dodge, wielded it to slash at the newly charging violent sword.

"Pfft!"

The Sword Qi shattered.

The violent Sword Qi broke into countless fragments, which then, almost instantly, came alive, transforming into dense sword bodies under the command of a strong Sword Intent, wildly shooting at Xiao Yanfei.

Xiao Yanfei’s hand tingled slightly, amazed by the opponent’s sword strength.

Yet even facing these dense sword bodies, he didn’t teleport to dodge but surrounded himself with golden light as the Protective Body Light Escape appeared again.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

The dense sword bodies pounded against the Protective Body Light Escape, causing numerous cracks, but unable to break the defense immediately.

Xiao Yanfei swung his sword.

The Protective Body Light Escape shattered, simultaneous with countless small sword bodies on it being cleared away by his one stroke.

Xiao Yanfei boasted a strong confidence, jesting, "Still too weak. If this is all you have, then you both can only perish here today."

Without employing excessive means, he could easily overwhelm two strong Early-stage Core Formation Sword Cultivators.

This is the hard-core power of a Late-stage Nascent Soul Master!

He was answered by two Sword Qi.

Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang both were pure Sword Cultivators who entered the Tao by sword.

Unlike normal cultivators who primarily focus on elevating realm strength, they consistently honed their Sword Dao, possessing a strong and resolute Sword Heart.

They knew Xiao Yanfei’s strength was far from something they could currently defeat.

But since they had already engaged in combat, it was death either way, and they chose to fight till death.

Even if only tearing a corner of the opponent’s robe, it’s better than doing nothing at all.

Xiao Yanfei swung his sword to counter.

He aimed to defeat them in their most proficient and prideful domain, rendering them truly hopeless.

Just then, a Thunder Talisman blasted forth.

It was Yao Wenlong’s move.

He already felt Wang Xingpeng’s actions were wrong, and shouldn’t continue aiding an atrocity. Now with Wang Xingpeng slain, the temperament of Wang Yuanxiao and Bai Xumi meant they would certainly become furious with thunder, and as the warden overseeing the Earth Cultivators, he’d surely be held accountable. Bai Xumi might kill him on the spot.

Given the circumstances, he had no better choice, so why not help these Earth Cultivators escape?

If lucky enough to escape with them successfully, the Headmaster and Wan Daorong would likely forgive him considering the merit.

Thunder roared!

Lightning enveloped several hundred cubic units of the void, causing Xiao Yanfei’s hairs to stand and his scalp to tingle.

Without any hesitation, he chose to instantly teleport away.

"Yao Wenlong, earlier I sparred your life for the comradeship, yet you caused little junior brother’s tragic death. How dare you still strike, do you truly think I dare not kill you?"

Xiao Yanfei flashed towards Yao Wenlong, slashing down.

Yao Wenlong was terrified, also instantly teleporting to escape.

Xiao Yanfei locked onto him with a powerful Divine Sense tracking, relentlessly pursuing.

Helian Zhan and Wang Chunyang didn’t remain idle either; seeing an Early-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse assisting, how could they not cooperate?

So above the Cage Array, the four swiftly entangled in battle.

Wind and thunder clashed, sword Qi criss-crossed, yet Xiao Yanfei, fighting one against three, maintained effortless dominance and kept the upper hand.

"You stay here, don’t come out."

Wang Lei advised Qi Hongshao, rising and flying out of the cave.

He seized the moment, decisively unleashing his strongest blade when Xiao Yanfei’s back faced him!
