Chapter 397: Chapter 256: 3 Dragons and 3 Elephants, Capable of Destroying a Grandmaster!

"You expect me to just die if you tell me to?

I refuse to do so."

Then, Tang Fei looked towards Shen Xinglan and shouted, "Senior brother, I’m injured... Can you hold on for a while?"

Shen Xinglan glanced at Tang Fei, and without a word, he took his sword and actively charged towards Fen Kuai.

His body transformed into countless shadows in mid-air, and at that moment, the sky also became filled with ghastly winds and heavy with ghostly shadows.

Yet the true form of Shen Xinglan had already concealed itself; each one was him, and at the same time, none were him.

"Ghostly Despair"!

This was a unique movement technique of the Shen Family, and Tang Fei had encountered it before during his fight with Shen Qingping. He had suffered quite a bit due to it.

Fortunately, they had chosen a jungle terrain where he could use the familiar landscape to make up for the shortcomings in his movement technique. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to win that fight so easily...

But when Shen Xinglan used this cultivation technique, it was a different world altogether.

It was more sinister, more concealed, and far more powerful and aggressive.

Before Shen Xinglan made a move, one might feel that Shen Qingping was indeed incredibly strong and did not discredit the reputation of the Shen Family.

After Shen Xinglan executed it, one might wonder if Shen Qingping had been fooling around in his daily life, indulging in pleasures without rigorously practicing his cultivation.

The gap in talent determined a person’s limit.

Using the same set of skills, Shen Qingping seemed like nothing more than a stand-in for Shen Xinglan...

Fen Kuai watched the countless Shen Xinglans before him and couldn’t help but sneer with a voice proclaiming, "Demons and monsters, mere trivial tricks, nothing more."

As soon as his words fell, stars rained down from the sky.

"Starlight Sword Technique"!

Above the sky, it was as if a meteor shower had begun.

Shen Qingping had also executed this technique, but the sword rain stretched only a mere couple of meters.

Yet, the might of Shen Xinglan’s strike covered more than a dozen meters around with Fen Kuai as the center.

Fen Kuai let out a fierce shout, wielding his long blade and charging into the sword rain.

A slash cut through.

It was like a long rainbow gracing the world, the sun rising fiercely in the sky.

This was the strength of the Grandmaster Realm, this was the full power strike of a lesser Grandmaster.

The wind stopped, the rain ceased, and the sword rain vanished without a trace.

Bang!

Shen Xinglan’s body heavily crashed to the ground.

Despite being protected by a special outfit crafted by the Shen Family for long journeys, a huge gash was still slashed across his chest.

Skin peeled inside out, blood sprayed.

The injury appeared extremely severe.

Indeed, each level was like a different world.

Although Shen Xinglan was top-notch and only a step away from the Grandmaster Realm,

Ultimately, he was not a Grandmaster.

After Fen Kuai seriously wounded Shen Xinglan with one slash, he then turned and chopped towards Tang Fei.

Tang Fei held his sword horizontally to block, and the long sword in his hand snapped into two pieces instantly.

Fortunately, he retreated quickly, otherwise, he would have been cleaved in two by that slash.

Just as Fen Kuai was about to pursue further, Shen Xinglan had already climbed up from the ground and once again charged at him with his sword.

"Ignorant of death."

With a sweep of his long blade, Fen Kuai sent both Tang Fei and Shen Xinglan flying away.

"Urgh..."

Tang Fei spewed a mouthful of fresh blood.

Shen Xinglan fared even worse; having endured a slash from Fen Kuai, his chest bled profusely, his white journey outfit almost being dyed red.

Fen Kuai’s body soared high, looking down disdainfully at the two, Tang Fei and Shen Xinglan, and said sharply, "Let’s end this, you’re delaying my drinking."

While speaking, he raised his long blade and swung it down towards Tang Fei.

The longer the night, the more dreams come.

He was losing his patience and wanted to quickly end this battle.

The longer it dragged on, the more it was unfavorable to him.

If by chance another exploration team came through this area, then, he would have to kill even more people...

Tang Fei’s body tensed, all his hair standing on edge.

Watching the long blade falling towards him, he felt the closeness of death for the first time.

Within reach!

Was he going to die?

To die in this desolate burial land? To perish at the hands of this hideously-faced barbarian?

To be beheaded...

And perhaps even to have his flesh eaten and his blood drunk in such a humiliating manner?

"I won’t accept this!"

The ferocity in Tang Fei’s bones erupted as he gathered all his strength and furiously punched towards the sky.

Boom...

Three silver dragons emerged, soaring into the high sky. Above the dark clouds, dragon roars echoed through the heavens.

Three silver elephants burst forth, raising their trunks to bellow towards the sky.

The silver radiance blazed brightly, illuminating the dim skies.

In their wake, they left destruction as easily as if they were pulling up weeds.

This was a power capable of obliterating heaven and earth.

In this critical moment, hanging by a thread, Tang Fei actually broke through his shackles, advancing into the third level of the "Dragon Elephant Demon Suppressing Skill."

Fen Kuai’s expression contorted fiercely, his pupils dilated.

He felt danger.

Because of this power...

He found it hard to contend with.

But the momentum of his blade was spent, and now it was too late to change strategies.

Any hesitation would mean being crushed into dust by that tremendous force.

Now, he could only stand firm in his resolve.

A Grandmaster must not be humiliated!

Boom!

Fen Kuai’s long blade struck the three dragons and three elephants, and upon contact, a massive force swept over him like a mountain collapsing into a tsunami.

Bang!

Fen Kuai’s body was blasted away.

His entire chest was compressed and deformed, and blood spurted incessantly from his mouth.

Before he could fall, a fierce blaze of light suddenly appeared above him.

Brilliant and dazzling, like a blazing sun unexpectedly emerging in the sky.

"Great Sun Sword Seal"!

Crack!

Fen Kuai’s head was severed and then tossed high into the air.

His eyes were wide open, looking at Tang Fei, looking at everything happening before him...

And his swiftly descending torso.

He couldn’t understand, why did it end like this?

Wasn’t he just a small fry from the Tongyou Realm? Something that could be chopped down with a mere wave of the hand.

Why... why did he have such power?

Dying with eyes wide open!

Bang!

This was the sound of Fen Kuai’s body hitting the ground.

Smack!

This was the sound of the head striking the ground.

Tang Fei lay on the ground, gasping for air, it was too close, far too dangerous.

If he hadn’t broken through in the nick of time, if he could only muster the power of two dragons and two elephants, could he have withstood that slash towards his head from Fen Kuai?

After descending from the high sky, Shen Xinglan’s body also collapsed to the ground, that sword strike was the last he could muster.

For a long while.

For a long while.

Shen Xinglan faced the sky and spoke, "You killed him."

Tang Fei was anxious, and hastily denied it, saying, "It was you who killed him."

He didn’t know from where Fen Kuai came or for whom he worked, but he knew, certainly, someone powerful or a significant family stood behind him.

Who else but a figure of importance could command a small Grandmaster to do their bidding?

As for his claim of coming for robbery and murder, Tang Fei didn’t believe it.

He couldn’t believe a small Grandmaster would travel thousands of miles here, just for the sake of some unknown treasure...

Tang Fei did not want to offend the people behind him.

If at all possible.

Shen Xinglan then fell silent, staring into the sky with lifeless eyes, his thoughts unknown.

Tang Fei also kept silent, trying hard to recall that punch, that wonderful sensation.

The power of the three dragons and three elephants was terrifying to such an extent, capable of annihilating a Grandmaster.

When he would break through to the ninth level of the "Dragon Elephant Demon Suppressing Skill," to the "Nine Dragons Empowerment," who above the galaxy would be his match then?

By that time, wouldn’t revenge be a matter of ease?

With a flourish of his sword, which family wouldn’t bow and submit? Even the Royal Family could be obliterated.

Thinking this, Tang Fei felt his heart race, his blood boiling with excitement.

No matter what, he had to survive.

To live was to have hope.

Just then, a dazzling silver light appeared in the sky.

Tang Fei and Shen Xinglan looked up, only to see a Star Disc, its surface adorned with the figure of a Bai Lu spreading its wings, slowly descending.

Their awaited Star Disc had arrived.
