Chapter 224: Chapter 221: Phantom Divine Sect Backs Down

Whoosh!

The mournful sound of the Changfeng Sword piercing the air towards Bu Changtian’s chest wound resembled the call of the grim reaper, contorting his handsome face in an instant.

The intense scene also jolted the completely engrossed Thousand Illusion Eagle King, Bu Ziqi, and Lei Yuankui into high alert.

Due to the confining Ice Fiend Qi, Bu Changtian’s body stiffened, and this strike was Ye Zhen’s deadly attack aimed at taking full advantage of his preeminent position.

There was nowhere for Bu Changtian to dodge this sword!

Normally, with Bu Changtian’s greatly accomplished Acquired Spiritual Body, even a stab from Ye Zhen wouldn’t be a major issue. A full-force strike from a peak Spirit Summoning Realm martial artist would typically leave no more than a white mark.

Even with the boost from the War Soul Blood Flag, Ye Zhen’s strike would penetrate only half an inch or an inch, merely wounding the flesh.

But now, Bu Changtian’s chest had already been pierced by a large hole from the Green Winged Spirit Arrow, and the Acquired Spiritual Body there was already broken.

As long as Ye Zhen’s sword pierced him, Bu Changtian was bound to die without a doubt!

What did it mean for Bu Changtian, known as the number one powerhouse among the young generation in the Black Dragon Domain and at the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, to be killed by a little shrimp at the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm?

Not to mention, the Phantom Divine Sect couldn’t afford to lose face like this.

The members of the Phantom Divine Sect couldn’t just stand by and watch Bu Changtian be killed on the spot by Ye Zhen!

"Stop!"

"Don’t!"

The sharp rebukes of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, Bu Ziqi, and Lei Yuankui echoed as the Thousand Illusion Eagle King dove towards Ye Zhen like a hawk, his hand shooting up in an attempt to save Bu Changtian from the sword below.

Bu Ziqi and Lei Yuankui were not a second behind as they flanked left and right, bolting towards Ye Zhen like lightning.

"I knew you would do this!"

Liao Feibai, who had his eyes locked on the actions of the three from the Phantom Divine Sect, moved and his Profound Ice Sword Light sliced towards the Thousand Illusion Eagle King!

The elders of the Qiyun Sect were not pushovers, and moreover, Sect Leader Guo Qijing had long given the order: if Ye Zhen was in danger, save him at all costs.

With the Sect Leader’s instructions clear, the elders of the Qiyun Sect were all standing by, ready to act.

As soon as the Phantom Divine Sect made a move, the eagerly waiting Qiyun Sect elders rushed in like lightning. Boosted by the 60% increase in combat power provided by the War Soul Blood Flag, they were more than eager to join the fray!

Clang!

With a flick of his fingers, Sect Leader Guo Qijing’s Three Treasures Golden Bell emitted a booming, resonant sound, radiating golden light.

The Thousand Illusion Spirit Sword that was suspended in mid-air gently trembled, returned to its place, and continued to hang in the air, tracing a fan shape while confronting the Three Treasures Golden Bell!

Without a doubt, the rescue attempt by the three from the Phantom Divine Sect was firmly blocked by the elders of the Qiyun Sect!

The Sword Gang from Ye Zhen’s Changfeng Sword had already penetrated the wound in Bu Changtian’s chest. With a single stir, Bu Changtian’s heart would be reduced to dust!

The excruciating pain from the Sword Gang entering the wound made Bu Changtian suddenly realize that the death, which had seemed so distant to him, had now abruptly descended upon him in this instant!

Bu Changtian’s face twisted instantly!

"No!"

Crack!

An unwilling roar, accompanied by a thunderous noise from within Bu Changtian’s body, echoed loudly!

Especially after that thunderous noise inside Bu Changtian, the fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from his body soared in the blink of an eye from the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm to the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

At this life-and-death moment, Bu Changtian had unsealed his cultivation!

The spiritual power of the Fifth Stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm was immensely powerful. In an instant, Bu Changtian’s internal spiritual power burst forth like a torrential flood under his will to survive!

Boom!

The next moment, spiritual power burst explosively from Bu Changtian’s body, turning him into a sun radiating spiritual energy in all directions.

Most astonishingly, the hole in Bu Changtian’s chest became like a breached dike, with spiritual power pouring out like an uncontrollable flood.

The Sword Gang that Ye Zhen had just thrust into the wound in Bu Changtian’s chest with the intention of demolishing his heart was inevitably shattered by the catastrophic release of spiritual power.

Not only that, but the gushing spiritual power nearly blew the Changfeng Sword right out of his hand.

"Unsealed his cultivation...."

Ye Zhen inwardly sighed in pity; if Bu Changtian had hesitated for even half a second longer, he would have become a ghost under Ye Zhen’s sword.

"Ye Zhen, die!"

After unsealing his cultivation, Bu Changtian, still immersed in the battle for life and death, roared with a fury that sought to take Ye Zhen down immediately!

However, Ye Zhen was well-prepared!

Just as his sword was almost shaken off, his body retreated like lightning!

"You... lost!"

Ye Zhen’s deep voice drilled into Bu Changtian’s ears, causing his expression to drastically change.

In an instant, embarrassment, shame, humiliation, and many other expressions surfaced on Bu Changtian’s face simultaneously, not only awakening him from the life-and-death struggle but also turning his face as red as a monkey’s rear.

A battle that he held a huge advantage in had ended with him shamelessly clinging onto life.

To the extremely proud Bu Changtian, this was an utter humiliation!

An extreme humiliation!

"That’s right, I... lost!"

Uttering these words made Bu Changtian’s demeanor suddenly darken, appearing somewhat desolate and forlorn!

Today’s battle had a significant impact on the proud Bu Changtian.

Despite a great advantage, he had nearly been killed by Ye Zhen. In the end, he had shamelessly preserved his life in a disgraceful manner!

However, Bu Changtian had a certain prideful, blood-fueled integrity, admitting his defeat openly and squarely!

As Bu Changtian conceded, the Qiyun Sect Elders’ group assault on the three from Phantom Divine Sect also reached its final moment!

In just a few breaths’ time, Elder Bu Ziqi was already injured and spitting blood, and Lei Yuankui was even more so, cleaved from the sky by Grand Elder Lut Changchuan with a single sword strike!

Only the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, relying on his tricky Body Skill, was holding on barely, but even he was not far from defeat.

The terrifying strength boost of 60 percent from the War Soul Blood Flag was vividly manifested at this time!

Originally, Liao Feibai was slightly weaker than the Thousand Illusion Eagle King!

But now, the Thousand Illusion Eagle King didn’t even dare to touch Liao Feibai’s Profound Ice Sword Qi; with the 60 percent boost from the War Soul Blood Flag, it became Liao Feibai pressing down the Thousand Illusion Eagle King in the fight.

Bu Ziqi suffered a huge loss as a result!

Grand Elder Lut Changchuan of Qiyun Sect, whose cultivation was originally not far off from Bu Ziqi’s, dealt a punch that grievously wounded and made Bu Ziqi vomit blood upon his first strike, which shocked Bu Ziqi and also astonished the Phantom Divine Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing, who had not shown himself in the void until then.

Now, they could confirm that the War Soul Blood Flag had indeed been elevated by Qiyun Sect to the Third Level, capable of boosting combat power by 60 percent!

Buzz!

The Thousand Illusion Spirit Sword, which had been suspended in the sky, suddenly trembled, and a vigorous deep male voice abruptly rang out.

"Sect Master Guo, let’s call it a day!"

The voice wasn’t loud, but when it fell into Ye Zhen’s ears, it was like thunder, making his eardrums ache and his head swell.

Two of the five captured Qiyun Sect disciples, both Inner Sect Disciples, were directly stunned into unconsciousness by the sound, with blood flowing from all seven orifices.

This was the voice of the Thousand Illusion Spirit Sword’s owner, Phantom Divine Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing.

The voice was strong, but it carried an undertone of negotiation.

Being able to make Phantom Divine Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing show a hint of capitulation, Sect Master Guo Qijing couldn’t help but be greatly comforted.

"Since Sect Leader Fuh has spoken, Phantom Divine Sect will surely keep their word! Very well! Elders, all retreat!"

"Sect Master Guo, my Phantom Divine Sect still maintains some integrity!"

"Since we lost this battle today, we’ll certainly never ascend Qiyun Sect to seek vengeance in the future!

However, you should better control your disciples, Sect Master Guo. If they encounter my Phantom Divine Sect’s disciples outside, they can only blame their bad luck!"

Hearing Fuh Dongxing’s promise, Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

After all the effort, his goal had finally been achieved.

As for the future, he would deal with it when it came; as long as he wasn’t barred from stepping out of his home, it would be fine.

As the two giants of Phantom Divine Sect and Qiyun Sect reached a consensus, the Elders from both sects who had been fighting furiously instantaneously separated, but the three from Phantom Divine Sect—Bu Ziqi, Lei Yuankui, and the Thousand Illusion Eagle King—were particularly disheveled!

Especially Bu Ziqi, whose blood-drenched chest stained his clothing ruby red!

"Let’s go!"

The Sword Light of the Thousand Illusion Spirit Sword in the sky wrapped around the figures of Bu Changtian, Thousand Illusion Eagle King, Lei Yuankui, and Bu Ziqi, who then suddenly vanished into thin air!

"Ye Zhen, you little bastard, wait for me! If I meet you again, I’ll grind your bones to dust..."

"Ye Zhen, the next time we meet will be your end. Today’s humiliation, the revenge for my brother, will be repaid doubly..."

The stern voices of Bu Changtian and the Thousand Illusion Eagle King abruptly disappeared, a sign that the members of Phantom Divine Sect had left far behind.

Almost simultaneously, the Qiyun Sect Elders, Sect Master Guo Qijing, and even Liao Feibai all let out a breath of relief, their hanging hearts finally settling down.

Phantom Divine Sect, the colossal adversary, had finally retreated, and Qiyun Sect no longer needed to play a game of mutually assured destruction.

The many Elders and brothers turned their gazes toward Ye Zhen; at this moment, their looks were different.

Only Fifth Elder Hong Banjiang watched Ye Zhen with a complicated and indecipherable gaze...

"Senior Brother Ye, thank you, you’ve saved me again..."

The rescued Han Shi was full of gratitude.

He had clearly seen today how if it were not for Ye Zhen’s decisive action at the crucial moment, their fates would have been uncertain.

"Junior Brother Ye, we owe you a lot for today. Otherwise..." The captured True Inheritor Mei Yuanju was also full of gratitude; their lives had hung in the balance today!

"Without the elders, how could I have achieved anything!"

Ye Zhen said with a smile and waved his hand.

Even though Ye Zhen said so, the Sect Elders all understood that if Ye Zhen had not stood up today, these five disciples might indeed have been sacrificed!

The True Inheritor, completely acknowledged by the War Soul Blood Flag, would absolutely not be handed over by Qiyun Sect!

Ultimately, the True Inheritor, Luv Xin, who had a grievance with Ye Zhen, opened and closed his mouth several times but still couldn’t bring himself to lower his pride to thank Ye Zhen.

...

In the clouds, a giant hand suddenly reached out, grabbing the trembling Bu Changtian firmly. Fuh Dongxing, the Phantom Divine Sect Leader with a broad face and large ears, his ears reaching his shoulders, suddenly appeared and expelled a surge of chill, forcing out the Ice Fiend Qi from Bu Changtian’s body.

"Changtian, you’ve been poisoned with cold poison; why didn’t you say anything?"

It turned out that as they flew along, Bu Changtian’s shaking had grown more intense, and noticing something was off, Fuh Dongxing had abruptly taken action.

"Leader... I... didn’t expect... this cold Qi to be so... potent, especially the Qi infiltrating from the wound..." The extent of Bu Changtian’s injuries was even more severe than anyone had witnessed!

"Don’t speak; I’ll heal you!"

As a wisp of cold Qi rose from the top of Bu Changtian’s head, the voice of Phantom Divine Sect Leader Fuh Dongxing grew incomparably cold.

"Next time you encounter Ye Zhen, kill without mercy!"

"Yes, we strictly abide by the Sect Leader’s edict!"

The Thousand Illusion Eagle King, Bu Ziqi, and Lei Yuankui became immediately stern! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
