Chapter 157: Chapter 155: Returning to the Sect (First Update)

"Kitty!"

In Ye Zhen’s roaring voice, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub, already on standby, pounced out like lightning.

As it pounced, its originally one-meter-long body rapidly grew. The moment its tiger-striped wings stretched out, cloud Qi gathered, instantly doubling the cub’s speed.

"Roar!"

A tiger’s roar rang out. A blue glow burst towards Luv Congfei, who was attacking Ye Zhen, forcing Luv to dodge instantly. By then, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub had already positioned itself in front of Luv.

Almost simultaneously, a fire dragon unexpectedly attacked Ren Xihua, who was in pursuit of the fleeing Sex Fiend. Jiulie appeared at the same moment.

Caught off guard, Ren was severely injured instantly.

Just having caught his breath, Ye Zhen moved like lightning, scooping up the severely wounded Ren, who was falling towards the lake. With a roll, he positioned himself in front of the similarly injured Sex Fiend, who was trying to escape.

In fact, if it hadn’t been for Jiulie’s sudden sneak attack, the Sex Fiend would probably have been slain by Ren by now.

"Out of the way!"

"Ye Zhen, get the hell out of my way!"

"Your enemy is here. If you don’t want to die, stay out of my business!" the fleeing Sex Fiend yelled.

"I have said that wherever my sight reaches, order prevails! Today, you must die!"

While speaking, Ye Zhen did not stop his movements. He executed the Winter Plum Snowbreaker, targeting the frantic Sex Fiend. However, the two-meter Sword Gang, in the eyes of the severely wounded Ren, seemed rather bizarre.

"Madman!"

Cursing, the Sex Fiend countered while looking at Jiulie, who had just ambushed Ren, "Brother, hurry, let’s join forces and finish Ye...."

Whoosh!

The Sex Fiend’s words were cut off by a sudden explosive sound of the Sword Gang enlarging.

Ye Zhen’s two-meter Sword Gang suddenly tripled in size to six meters.

This extreme disparity in length caused a fatal mistake in the Sex Fiend’s response; before he could finish speaking, a chill hit his throat, and with a twist of sword light, the look of horror in his eyes had just begun when his head flew into the air.

Ye Zhen, to kill the Sex Fiend in the shortest time possible, had used every means necessary.

Almost simultaneously, a fire dragon blasted towards Ye Zhen from the side.

Anticipating Jiulie’s attack, Ye Zhen endured the pain, executed the Chasing Star Step, and dodged Jiulie’s Fire Dragon Palm. Blood spurted from his wound like a fountain.

With one step, Ye Zhen forcibly activated the last trace of True Yuan in his body. The terrifying Sword Momentum of the first form of Wind Sweeps Away Clouds soared immediately.

Having already witnessed the terror of Wind Sweeps Away Clouds in secrecy, Jiulie would not have been the first to attack Ye Zhen otherwise.

Panic-stricken, Jiulie darted back like a startled monkey, his palms continuously swinging, layers of Fire Gang covering his front.

Ye Zhen’s sword attack was too terrifying; he had no confidence in facing it.

"Wealth Fiend, your brother is dead, and now it’s your turn!"

With a stern shout, Ye Zhen casually unleashed a tiny Sword Qi towards Wealth Fiend.

Ye Zhen’s shout and the Sword Qi, to the already jumpy Wealth Fiend, were like thunderclaps in a clear sky, causing him to dodge frantically!

At that moment, Han Shi’s sword light timely stabbed from behind, piercing directly through Wealth Fiend’s heart.

"Damn, you tricked....."

As Wealth Fiend realized Ye Zhen had merely feinted, Han’s sword tip had already emerged from his chest.

Just then, the terrifying Sword Momentum of Wind Sweeps Away Clouds that Ye Zhen had just mustered collapsed. Seeing this, Luv Congfei and Jiulie’s faces turned green at the same time.

"Damn, you tricked again!"

"Jiulie, you have shit for brains! If you hadn’t backed off just now, we could have killed this kid!" Luv Congfei cursed furiously.

"Roar!"

The cub’s roar grew fiercer. With a flutter of its Cloud Wing, its tiger claws tore through the air towards Luv Congfei. Luv dodged rapidly. Just as the tiger claws seemed to solidify, the cub opened its mouth and unleashed another burst of blue Spirit Light towards Luv, forcing him to retreat awkwardly again.

Luv was so frustrated he nearly vomited blood. He had killed plenty of Lower-grade Earth Level Monster Beasts before, but never had he encountered one as cunning as this.

By then, Jiulie’s further attacks on Ye Zhen were too late.

Free now, Han Shi wouldn’t allow Jiulie to attack Ye Zhen.

Only now did Ye Zhen tap several points on his back to seal the wound points.

After quickly patching up his wound, Ye Zhen reluctantly took out the bottle of Primordial Spirit Jade Liquid that Caiyi had given him and took two drops.

With his improving cultivation, fully restoring the nearly depleted True Yuan required at least two drops of Primordial Spirit Jade Liquid.

After many uses, the Primordial Spirit Jade Liquid Caiyi had given to Ye Zhen had dwindled to a trace. Ye Zhen estimated that the remaining Jade Liquid would only be enough for one more use.

Feeling the surging recovery of Spiritual Power around Ye Zhen, Luv Congfei’s expression changed in an instant. Ye Zhen flashed forward, brandishing his sword at Luv, who was still struggling against the cub.

A bitter smile immediately rose on Luv’s lips.

What had seemed an almost certain situation, had been disrupted by Ye Zhen’s unassuming little cub, which turned out to be a Lower-grade Earth Level Monster Beast with formidable combat power.

With his strength at the Peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm and equipped with a Low Grade Artifact, he had failed to kill a single Monster Beast even after all this time.

With Ye Zhen joining the battle, Luv Congfei quickly found himself at a disadvantage under the combined assault of Ye Zhen and the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub.

"Ye Zhen, let’s just let this matter rest today...."

Ye Zhen immediately displayed a shocked expression, having seen shameless people before, but never someone this shameless!

Just moments ago, they had almost taken Ye Zhen’s life, and now, having gained the upper hand, they instead sought a peaceful resolution.

"Do you think I’m stupid?"

"Ye Zhen, don’t assume you have me cornered!" Luv Congfei’s complexion changed, "I am at the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm. If I fight desperately, you won’t..."

Boom boom boom!

Like thunder and lightning, a sound suddenly erupted from Ye Zhen’s sword momentum. The heaven and earth primordial energy around Ye Zhen began to whirl like wind, with the onset of a thunderclap.

In an instant, all the winds between heaven and earth seemed to disappear at that moment, or rather, they were all focused into Ye Zhen’s sword momentum.

The moment Ye Zhen’s sword momentum began, the lake below tumultuously surged with waves tens of meters high, as if heralding the onset of a hurricane.

Boom!

Luv Congfei’s eyes widened with fear, and a heart-shaking thunderclap exploded from Ye Zhen’s sword momentum. Amidst the thunder, a sword light, ten zhang long, cleaved down towards Luv Congfei like lightning.

The second stance of Wind Cloud Sword Technique, Wind Cloud Like Thunder!

The sword light itself was extremely fast, and with the wind aiding and clouds bundling, it was as quick as lightning.

Almost giving Luv Congfei no chance to react, the arm-thick sword light focused by the Wind Cloud slashed down.

Luv Congfei’s instinctual sword light was instantly shredded into fragments, the brilliantly intense Protective Gang Qi, almost entirely made of spiritual power, was like mere paper in front of this sword light.

However, Luv Congfei was indeed formidable. At the crucial moment, he forcibly moved half a foot to the left, avoiding the fate of being chopped down on the spot, but his shoulder and an arm were severed as a result.

Still, this did not mean the danger was over.

A look of extreme terror rose from Luv Congfei’s eyes because behind him lurked a vastly ferocious presence.

"Ye Zhen, I am a disciple of the Sword Origin Sect, the foremost sword sect of the Four Countries. If you kill me..."

As Luv Congfei was frantically threatening Ye Zhen, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub pounced like lightning, its claw tearing Luv Congfei’s neck to shreds, abruptly cutting off his screams as he breathed his last.

"Junior Brother Ye, I’m sorry, I let Jiulie get away!"

After Ye Zhen had slain Luv Congfei, Han Shi apologetically approached Ye Zhen from behind.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Jiulie didn’t engage with Han Shi in battle. With a feint, he turned and fled, and now, not even a shadow of him could be seen.

"It’s alright... Senior Brother Han, first help Junior Brother Ren, we need to leave here quickly," Ye Zhen said, sounding quite weak.

The exertion from displaying the Wind Cloud Sword Technique was indeed too great. Just now, in order to severely injure Luv Congfei with a single strike, he had used the second move, Wind Cloud Like Thunder.

With one strike, he had exhausted eighty percent of the cultivation he had just restored.

Still, Ye Zhen had no choice. He had to fight quickly.

Luv Congfei’s sneak attack with that one strike had seriously injured him. His meridians were severely damaged by the rampant sword qi, and he could not engage in prolonged combat.

Ren Xihua was mainly harmed by the fire poison in Jiulie’s Fire Dragon Palm. With Han Shi’s help, although he wasn’t fully recovered, he was able to move freely very soon.

"Senior Brother Ye, for saving my life..."

"Go, what’s all this nonsense between us brothers? Here, the corpses of the Poisonous Evil Spirit, Ghost Fiend, and Blood Evil were too hastily left, swallowed by the monster beasts in the water, and their Storage Bracelets can’t be found.

Including Luv Congfei’s, only three Storage Bracelets were found. I won’t stand on ceremony with you. I took Luv Congfei’s, and you two take one each of these two Storage Bracelets!"

Though everyone knew that Luv Congfei’s Storage Bracelet was of the greatest value, neither Han Shi nor Ren Xihua contested with Ye Zhen.

They all understood that if not for Ye Zhen today, they might have long been corpses.

It wouldn’t matter even if Ye Zhen took them all; they had no objections.

As for what was inside the Storage Bracelets, now was not the time to check.

Until now, Ye Zhen did not even know what the Jade Scroll and that Black Pearl he acquired from the Black Water Legacy Mansion’s Cold Pool were.

All these matters would have to wait until they safely returned to the sect to be examined!

"Junior Brother Ren, you also use a sword, this Low Grade Treasure Sword suits you better!"

Ye Zhen then swapped the Low Grade Artifact sword of Luv Congfei with Ren Xihua’s Low Grade Artifact blade. Ren Xihua was naturally very grateful.

After divvying up the loot, not daring to linger at all, Ye Zhen and the three moved quickly. Ye Zhen no longer hesitated and let the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub fully reveal its presence.

Ye Zhen and the injured Ren Xihua mounted the Cloud Winged Tiger, which spread its fleshy wings, gathered the cloud qi, and emitted a startling tiger roar, shooting towards the clouds like lightning.

It must be said, under the same level of cultivation, the flying speed of beasts surely was incomparable to that of martial artists.

The Cloud Winged Tiger, currently only at the Lower-grade Earth Level in cultivation, even carrying both Ye Zhen and Ren Xihua, flew faster than Han Shi could ever hope to pursue.

Of course, this was somewhat related to Han Shi’s Flying Cultivation Technique.

Having traveled less than one-third of the distance, Liao Feibai, who had received Ye Zhen’s urgent Talisman Communication, hurried over. When Ye Zhen saw Caiyi behind Liao Feibai, he couldn’t help but bitterly smile.

"Why are you here?"

"Who could have... injured you like this?"

At the sight of the bloody mess on Ye Zhen’s back, Caiyi’s eyes immediately filled with tears. (To be continued.
