Chapter 244: Chapter 241: Devastating Plan

"Hmm, it seems like there’s fighting up ahead?"

Yin Kainian of the Blood Fox Sword, who had been paying close attention to the situation ahead, his eyes like lightning, captured the moment when a surge of Spirit Light burst around Black Cloth Number Three.

"It should be, they have already started fighting. Master, just wait for the good news!" Chen Tai glanced behind him confidently as he spoke.

"Master, please drink up! After today, unless several Sect Elders of the Sword Origin Sect act together or the Sect Leader, Yu Ruhai himself takes action, you will be free to roam the world at will," Chen Tai congratulated him.

"I wouldn’t say at will, but, at the very least, I won’t have to be like now, not even daring to spend a night in Three Elements City." Yin Kainian of the Blood Fox Sword had a somber face, but his eyes were filled with anticipation.

So many years had passed, and the Sword Origin Sect had yet to relax their pursuit of him. Every day, he felt like a tightly wound string, never daring to stay in one place for more than three days.

Just one Soul Sea Realm Sect Elder from the Sword Origin Sect was enough to chase him until he was running for his life.

All this made him thirst for power!

However, due to an old hidden injury, breaking through to the Soul Sea Realm had become extremely difficult for him. But owning a mid-grade treasure sword could drastically enhance his strength, at least to the point where he could confront a Soul Sea Realm Sect Elder from the Sword Origin Sect.

Yet mid-grade treasure swords were incredibly rare. Even if one occasionally appeared at an auction, it wasn’t something he could bid for. The Sect Elders of the Sword Origin Sect, each rich in resources, could easily snap up any mid-grade treasure swords that became available.

Moreover, he didn’t dare to show his face in places where numerous Sect Elders of the Sword Origin Sect were present. This time, the flawed Profound Yang Sword was his best chance.

He hadn’t expected, in the end, to be robbed of it by Ye Zhen en route.

How could he not be furious!

For this, he even changed his usual habit of never staying within a three hundred-mile radius of Sword Origin City, trying to snatch the Profound Yang Sword.

"No, why has there been no noise?"

As he slowly sipped his wine, Yin Kainian of the Blood Fox Sword, looking toward the distant forest, suddenly changed his expression, "Tai’er, how many people did you arrange for the ambush?"

"Master, your disciple arranged for four people, two at the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm and two in the late-stage Spirit Summoning Realm, skilled in the art of ambush..."

At this point, Chen Tai also realized something was wrong, "If they were successful, they would send talisman communications immediately according to the agreement..."

"If they haven’t succeeded yet, there should be faint traces of Spiritual Power light coming through..."

"Something’s gone awry, I’ll go take a look!"

"You stay here, monitor the situation in the sky and on the ground. The moment anything happens, send me an urgent signal!"

The next instant, Yin Kainian of the Blood Fox Sword’s figure flickered with electricity, and like lightning, he shot towards the distant Maple Forest. As Chen Tai turned around, Yin Kainian of the Blood Fox Sword had already disappeared into the night.

"Master’s speed is really fast... However, without such extraordinary speed, how could Master have escaped the pursuit of the Sword Origin Sect all these years?"

Chen Tai stood up and sighed, slightly moving his figure as his gaze swept across the sky and ground like a hawk, not missing the slightest shimmer of light.

Martial Artists need to stimulate Spiritual Power to travel quickly, and in most cases, as long as Spiritual Power is stimulated, there will be varying degrees of visible light around the body.

This glow from stimulating Spiritual Power isn’t much during the day, but at night, it’s very conspicuous.

Half a quarter-hour later, inside the Maple Forest, Yin Kainian of the Blood Fox Sword looked at the four bodies within three hundred meters ahead and behind him, his face as gray as iron, his triangular eyes trembling rapidly, but his eyes were full of shock.

"What superb assassination skills!"

"Within three hundred meters, to consecutively assassinate three peak Spirit Summoning Realm Martial Artists who are also skilled at ambush, and only to be discovered by the fourth, this capability, I’m afraid even I can’t do it!"

"At the site of the wounds, there is a very faint trace of Profound Yang Qi; these people were killed with a single sword strike, the Profound Yang Sword played a significant part too! A mid-grade treasure sword, indeed..."

"This Profound Yang Sword must be mine!"

"It’s only been half a quarter-hour, and there’s no flying light in the sky, this kid definitely can’t have gone far, he might be nearby!"

With a fierce expression, Yin Kainian of the Blood Fox Sword suddenly rose into the air, his triangular eyes bulging as he stared intently at the ground, not overlooking a single glimmer of light!

As Yin Kainian of the Blood Fox Sword searched high above, Ye Zhen was at the edge of the little Maple Forest, squinting at the Spirit Power light in the sky above.

After slashing Black Cloth Number Three with a single sword strike, Ye Zhen didn’t stop at all but dashed towards the depths of the Maple Forest. In just a few breaths, a streak of light was flying toward him from afar.

Piecing it together, Ye Zhen immediately guessed that this rapidly approaching streak of light was very likely Yin Kainian of the Blood Fox Sword out to ambush him.

After observing for a while, Ye Zhen realized there were only two paths left for him.

One was to retreat back into Three Elements City to avoid the limelight.

With Ye Zhen’s skills, there was a very high possibility that he could sneak back into the city unnoticed and safely. However, that would completely put him on the defensive.

If the other party was clear about his whereabouts tonight, then Ye Zhen wouldn’t be able to escape their surveillance even if he went back to the city. Moreover, Three Elements City wasn’t exactly a safe place for Ye Zhen.

If Ye Zhen’s identity were exposed, his situation would be even more dangerous than that of Yin Kainian of the Blood Fox Sword.

That left Ye Zhen with only one other path—to break through forcefully!

"However, they won’t find it easy to kill me. Tonight, I must give you an unforgettable big present no matter what!"

Muttering to himself, Ye Zhen’s body was instantly covered with intense Spirit Light. In a flash, he leaped into the low sky, executing the Flickering Light Body Technique. Like a gust of wind, Ye Zhen’s figure surged forward.

The moment he leaped into the air, Ye Zhen glanced at the light in the high sky.

Indeed, the Spirit Light emanating from Ye Zhen’s body, like the most eye-catching signal, attracted the light above as soon as it appeared. It shot towards Ye Zhen’s location like lightning.

However, with several dozen miles between them, it would take some time for Yin Kainian of the Blood Fox Sword in the sky to catch up with Ye Zhen.

But as soon as Ye Zhen revealed himself, he could forget about escaping from the pursuit of Blood Fox Sword Yine Kainian.

There was no helping it; this was simply the gap between a Martial Artist of the Spirit Summoning Realm and one of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Martial Artists of the Spirit Summoning Realm could only fly at low altitudes within two hundred meters above ground. Any higher, and the fierce winds aloft would buffet a Spirit Summoning Realm Martial Artist around in every direction.

However, Martial Artists of the Spirit Transformation Realm didn’t have this problem—they could fly swiftly within an altitude of a thousand meters. Thus, once a Spirit Summoning Realm Martial Artist was spotted by one from the Spirit Transformation Realm, it was like a chick being watched by an eagle, with nowhere to hide!

"Just as I thought!"

Watching the brilliance pursuing him rapidly from above, a trace of coldness appeared at the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth.

As Blood Fox Sword Yine Kainian was fiercely chasing Ye Zhen from the sky, his disciple, Chen Tai, who had been ordered to observe, also saw the brilliance of Ye Zhen’s flight—and it was very close to him!

Without any hesitation, Yine Kainian’s disciple, Chen Tai, flashed through the air and rushed upward, positioning himself in front of Ye Zhen, causing the brilliance of Ye Zhen’s flight to come to an abrupt halt.

"Zheng, it really is you!"

Upon recognizing the newcomer as Ye Zhen, Chen Tai’s expression relaxed. If he let Ye Zhen escape tonight, not only would his master, Yine Kainian, be disappointed, so would he, beyond measure.

However, Chen Tai’s expression was shocked when he saw that Ye Zhen was completely unharmed.

"Did the Black Serpent Brothers not make a move?"

"Did you arrange for them to ambush me?"

Ye Zhen glanced back at the rapidly approaching brilliance in the sky, estimating the time.

"That person must be Yine Kainian, right?" Ye Zhen recognized him; this young man in luxurious clothing was the one who followed Yine Kainian.

"Are you referring to those four good-for-nothing Black Serpent Brothers?"

"What did you do to them?" Chen Tai’s face filled with anxiety.

The Black Serpent Brothers were among the elite elders of the Great River Gang, critical to the organization. If something happened to them, especially under his watch, then...

"What else? Of course, they’re dead!"

Ye Zhen’s figure in low flight twisted slightly, continuously sizing up the brilliance chasing him from behind, making the most precise calculations.

As soon as he saw the young man in luxurious clothing, Chen Tai, Ye Zhen had already thought of an excellent plan which, if followed, could severely damage Blood Fox Sword Yine Kainian’s plan.

In face-to-face combat with a Fifth Stage Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artist, Ye Zhen’s Cultivation was such that he had no possibility of causing injury, not even with the Profound Yang Sword!

"Impossible!"

"Your Cultivation is not much different from that of the Black Serpent Brothers. How could you possibly kill all four of them?" Chen Tai’s face was flushed with red; even as the son of the Great River Gang Leader, he could not justify their deaths!

"You’ll find out soon enough!" Ye Zhen’s expression grew colder and colder!

After glancing at his master, Yine Kainian, soaring toward him in the high sky, Chen Tai felt assured and came up with a plan.

Being the son of the Gang Leader of the Great River Gang, he wasn’t someone without brains.

Though confident in his own strength, he didn’t want to risk a confrontation with a peak Spirit Summoning Realm Martial Artist wielding a mid-grade treasure sword.

All he wanted was to stall for time until his master, Yine Kainian, arrived, and everything would be resolved.

"What do you mean?"

"Because you’re going to meet those four losers soon!" Ye Zhen looked back once more at the radiant light speeding through the sky, estimating the distance.

Chen Tai’s figure moved, his body’s light flared with caution, "You think you can, just by yourself?"

"Hmph, do you know who my master is? Just mentioning his name could scare you to death! Look, he’ll be here soon, and once he arrives, it’ll be your death sentence!"

"If I were you, I’d hand over the Profound Yang Sword and those eight Red Broken Swords. Maybe my master will spare your life!" Chen Tai tried his best to delay.

"Is that so?"

Ye Zhen sneered, looking at Chen Tai as if he were looking at an idiot.

"The time is almost up; the grand gift should be presented..."

With these words, Ye Zhen stepped forward, his waist snapped straight, and his Divine Sense immediately activated the First Sword Vein.

Hum!

The moment the First Sword Vein inside Ye Zhen emanated a long drone, his entire being turned into an unsheathed sword pointing toward the heavens, with Sword Qi piercing the sky.

The astonishing Sword Momentum caused the approaching Blood Fox Sword’s expression to change.

Almost simultaneously, Blood Fox Sword Yine Kainian seemed to realize something and started to bellow in rage, "Tai’er, be careful!"

In the night sky, his roar rolled like thunder!

Almost at the same time, Ye Zhen’s shoulder shook, and his figure instantly split into three!

Three shadows, all at once, lunged towards Chen Tai like lightning!

"Three?"

Seeing the three Ye Zhens suddenly appear, Chen Tai was utterly bewildered! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
