Chapter 124: Chapter 122: Slaying Du Xianxiu (First Update)

"Ye Zhen, this time, I want to see where you can run to!" Du Xianxiu, who was the first to arrive, pointed at Ye Zhen and shouted angrily.

Ye Zhen suddenly furrowed his brows; he had never seen the person in front of him, yet the man could call out his name and even said ’again’?

In his mind, the intelligence collected by the Qiyun Sect on the last incident involving the Meng Family flashed through.

"You are... Du Xianxiu?"

"The three experts who burst into the Meng Family half a year ago, were they you, Jin Tai, and Chu Jun?"

Ye Zhen’s series of questions caused Du Xianxiu’s face to change abruptly.

"Senior Brother Du, why waste words with him? Just kill him and avenge Senior Brother Jin and Senior Brother Chu!" another Lishui Sect disciple, Luo Da, shouted angrily.

The third Lishui Sect disciple at the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm directly locked onto Luluo with his aura, staring intently at Luluo, ready to unleash a storm of attacks at the slightest movement.

Du Xianxiu stopped Luo Da and stared at Ye Zhen with piercing eyes.

"Ye Zhen, you came here this time to have Meng Xiaoyue inherit Meng Chuan’s power, didn’t you?"

Du Xianxiu was one of the few who knew about this, especially after seeing the giant Spirit Light Sword at Yin Mountain Blood Gorge before he came, he harbored some ulterior motives.

However, Ye Zhen didn’t answer Du Xianxiu. Instead, he countered, "So by that, it was you, Du Xianxiu, who personally killed Old Madam Meng?"

"You heartless beast, to dare kill someone as kind-hearted as Old Madam Meng! Do you have no shame at all? Are you even human?"

A tirade of insults caused Du Xianxiu’s face to change abruptly, "Nonsense, I didn’t kill Old Madam Meng!"

"If not you then who? Could it be Chu Jun?" Ye Zhen pressed on sharply.

Suddenly, Du Xianxiu fell silent.

"So it was that bastard Chu Jun who personally killed Old Madam Meng! Then framed me!" Having figured out the truth, Ye Zhen swore through gritted teeth.

"Damn it, you’ve been drawing me out to talk!"

Du Xianxiu quickly realized he had been pressed repeatedly by Ye Zhen and snapped, "Ye Zhen, speak up, has Meng Xiaoyue inherited Meng Chuan’s power or not? If you tell the truth, I’ll give you a way out today."

"You’re giving me a way out? I don’t plan on giving you one today!"

With an enraged shout, Ye Zhen performed the Chasing Star Step and took the initiative to rush toward Du Xianxiu.

Du Xianxiu was one of the three who had participated in killing Old Madam Meng; Ye Zhen intended to slay him no matter what.

"You’re courting death! Senior Brother Du gave you a chance and you still dare to spout such nonsense; you’re simply asking for it!" Luo Da, who was next to Du Xianxiu, lunged out aggressively to confront Ye Zhen.

Seeing Luo Da coming at him, Ye Zhen inwardly lamented his bad luck.

If it weren’t for Luo Da charging out, he could have killed Du Xianxiu today and avenged Old Madam Meng.

"Ye Zhen, embrace your death!"

"Junior Brother Luo, leave him alive!" In the instant Luo Da lunged, Du Xianxiu hastily cried out, but he made no move to take action. Ye Zhen indeed had some abilities, but there was no need for them to gang up on him with their cultivation at the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm.

"I understand—"

Luo Da’s words were cut off when a terrifyingly powerful Profound Ice Sword Light, tens of meters long, suddenly blasted out from Ye Zhen’s hands.

All he could manage was to widen his eyes to the extreme in terror.

Then, he was bisected by the Profound Ice Sword Light.

There was no helping it; the Profound Ice Sword Light Talisman from Liao Feibai was too formidable. Ye Zhen did not know how strong Liao Feibai’s cultivation really was, or how powerful a Profound Ice Sword Light Talisman with twenty percent of his combat power was, but it definitely posed no problem to eliminate a peak Spirit Summoning Realm existence.

The only pity for Ye Zhen was that he had intended the Profound Ice Sword Light Talisman for Du Xianxiu.

But Luo Da charged in first, so he was the one to receive it.

Against a peak Spirit Summoning Realm martial artist, Ye Zhen had no confidence, let alone against two; he could only use it to take out one first.

Du Xianxiu’s gaze suddenly fixed in shock, and his body instantly filled with dense Spiritual Power as he charged at Ye Zhen.

Whoosh!

Du Xianxiu lashed out with a kick, and Ye Zhen felt a leg shadow strike like lightning.

Ye Zhen instinctively wanted to dodge, but the shadow was so fast it blurred into one; as soon as Ye Zhen thought of dodging, his chest felt as though it had been hit by tens of thousands of pounds.

His chest’s Hundred Stacked True Qi shattered inch by inch, and Ye Zhen was involuntarily thrown backward.

"The gap in cultivation is too great..."

Ye Zhen lamented as he was flung through the air.

Little did he know, Du Xianxiu was even more shocked than him.

A cultivation of True Essence Fifth Realm, and yet he had withstood his full force attack.

Was there anything more illogical?

Once a peak Spirit Summoning Realm being launched a full attack, Ye Zhen found that he had no opportunity even to use his strongest Wind Cloud Sword Technique.

Moreover, if the Wind Cloud Sword Technique didn’t kill Du Xianxiu in one strike, the one to die would be Ye Zhen himself.

The True Essence Fifth Realm was a whole Grand Realm and five minor realms apart from the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm.

It was like the difference between a child and an adult.

Had Ye Zhen’s cultivation reached the mid-stage Spirit Summoning Realm, he would not be in such a sorry state.

Du Xianxiu pursued him relentlessly, giving Ye Zhen no chance to fight back.

"Ye Zhen, use the talisman from before to blast him, the Profound Ice Sword Light Talisman!" Luluo, who was locked in a tough battle with another Lishui Sect disciple, cried out.

Hearing this, Du Xianxiu was startled; while his Protective Spiritual Power surged around him, his figure abruptly retreated.

The sword light that Ye Zhen used to kill Luo Da was just too terrifying.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen gave a wry smile inwardly. If he had such power, he would have used it already, and there would have been no chance for the opponent to bully him like this. In just a few breaths’ time, Du Xianxiu had already kicked him five times.

Had his Hundred Stacked True Qi not been incredibly effective, he would have been dead by now.

Even so, Ye Zhen was coughing up blood incessantly at this moment.

Just as he gasped for air, Du Xianxiu, who was previously startled by a comment from Luluo, rushed up again.

Ye Zhen’s mouth stretched into a grin, he flashed a smile at Du Xianxiu, and suddenly, there was an extra Jade Talisman in his hand, pretending he was about to throw it!

This frightened Du Xianxiu so much that his soul nearly fled from his body, and he soared up into the sky.

The terrifying Sword Light that he had imagined didn’t appear.

After hovering in mid-air for two breaths, Du Xianxiu dived towards Ye Zhen again.

This time, Ye Zhen mimicked the same move, pretending to throw the talisman again, scaring Du Xianxiu into a turn and retreating back towards the sky.

After being scared off three or four times like this, Du Xianxiu figured out that Ye Zhen was likely bluffing him.

"Hmph, Ye Zhen, your Profound Ice Sword Light Talisman is gone, isn’t it?"

"Then why don’t you come and try?" Ye Zhen responded with a smile.

Du Xianxiu became instantly gloomy.

But he had already seen the power of that Profound Ice Sword Light Talisman, and getting hit by it would undoubtedly be fatal.

It was a risk he couldn’t afford to take.

Grinding his teeth, Du Xianxiu suddenly crushed a Spirit Talisman, and a thick layer of Spiritual Power immediately covered his entire body. This was a life-saving Spirit Talisman he had bid on at an auction.

It could block a full-force hit from someone at the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm, and combined with his own Protective Spirit Power, it could save his life even under the attack of a Spirit Transformation Realm expert.

When he purchased this life-saving talisman, Du Xianxiu was only at the early stage of Spirit Summoning Realm and had been reluctant to use it, but today he was resolved to use it.

"Ye Zhen, now, even if you don’t have the Profound Ice Sword Light Talisman, even if you do, you can’t do anything to me!"

Du Xianxiu’s figure in the air swayed as he closed in on Ye Zhen, "If I were you, I would answer my question first. Perhaps, I will give you a chance to live!"

As he approached, Du Xianxiu threatened Ye Zhen.

Seeing that both Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue were about to fall into Du Xianxiu’s hands, Luluo became anxious and yelled at Ye Zhen, "What’s the Divine Ability you gained after forging your veined? Why aren’t you using it?"

"Forging Vein Divine Ability? How do I use it?" Ye Zhen really didn’t know.

"You’re such a blockhead, guide it with your Divine Sense!" Luluo, who was fighting, was so anxious she was jumping up and down.

"Divine Ability? Another Forging Vein Divine Ability, what, trying to scare me again?" Du Xianxiu started laughing dismissively,

"My master has been at the Soul Sea Realm for more than ten years and hasn’t started veined yet. You, a True Essence Realm pauper, have Forging Vein Divine Ability? Pah!"

"Ye Zhen, if you know what’s good for you, tell me if Meng Xiaoyue has inherited Meng Chuan’s power..."

The moment his Divine Sense landed on that halfway-formed substantial Bloodline within his body, Ye Zhen felt assured.

"What if I really have it?"

"If you really had it, then wouldn’t my master and uncles die of embarrassment..."

Almost at the very instant that Du Xianxiu’s scornful laughter rang out, a supremely terrifying fluctuation emanated from within Ye Zhen’s body.

Instantly, a semi-solid Spirit Light Sword Vein appeared behind Ye Zhen. With a fixed gaze, he locked onto Du Xianxiu,

Almost simultaneously, a Spirit Light Sword flew out from the Spirit Light Sword Vein behind him, slicing towards Du Xianxiu like lightning.

The moment the sword-shaped Spirit Light flew out, Ye Zhen’s head convulsed as if it was tearing apart, and in an instant, it felt as if all the brain matter had been drained.

Ye Zhen convulsed, his vision blackened, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.

The Spirit Light Sword moved with incredible speed; almost the moment it flew out, Du Xianxiu’s forehead sprouted a bloody hole.

By the time Du Xianxiu’s corpse fell to the ground, the light from his life-saving Spirit Talisman had just started to fade.

"Senior Brother Du!"

The gruesome death of Du Xianxiu threw Luluo’s opponent into panic, leaving him to be killed by her in an oversight.

"Damn it, this guy might become an idiot from excessive use of Divine Sense Power, right? Why did I forget to remind him of this when I asked him to use his Forging Vein Divine Ability?" Luluo, rushing to Ye Zhen’s side, was in a panic.

"Ugh... ugh... my head..."

Ye Zhen’s pained groans startled Luluo, causing her eyes to widen in shock, "Oh my God, are you human or a monster? How can you be fine after that?"

"My head hurts so bad... my brain feels like it’s splitting... I... I need to sleep..."

After saying that, Ye Zhen closed his eyes and immediately fell asleep.

As a cultivator who had trained in Divine Soul Power, Ye Zhen was well aware of his condition, which was excessive consumption of Divine Soul Power.

If one could still walk after draining too much True Yuan, then being overdrawn on Divine Soul Power meant only sleep could help. Generally speaking, sleeping was the best way to restore Divine Soul Power.

"Hey, you can’t sleep!"

"Ye Zhen, wake up, you can’t sleep now, if both of you are unconscious, what am I supposed to do..." Faced with Ye Zhen and Meng Xiaoyue, one asleep and the other unconscious, Luluo was on the verge of tears.

Just as Ye Zhen killed Du Xianxiu, the Sect Leader Chu Taiping, who was engaging in silent cultivation, received the Talisman Communication sent by the disciple guarding the gorge.

Upon reading it, Master of Lishui Sect Chu Taiping immediately stood up. The next moment, his voice resounded at the peaks where the Sect Elders were located, "Elders, an immense opportunity has arisen. Let’s seize this chance together!"

Thousands of miles away, Chu Jun, who was desperately searching within a three-thousand-mile radius of Shihe City for Ye Zhen, also received a Talisman Light transmission. Upon viewing it, his expression changed drastically.

"Damn it, Ye Zhen has actually appeared in the Yin Mountain Blood Gorge..."

Amidst cursing, his figure shifted and he charged towards the direction of Yin Mountain Blood Gorge! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
