Chapter 268: Chapter 265: The Unworldly Genius

Soup trickled down from Wei Wuji’s body, the veins on his clenched fists bulged out, and his little mustache with a leaf hanging from it trembled intermittently due to the twitching of the veins on his forehead.

All of this represented that Wei Wuji had reached the extreme point of anger.

The misjudgment had made the already arrogant man feel humiliated, and being carelessly doused in a soup, coupled with the mockery from the young woman Luluo, made Wei Wuji’s gaze suddenly become exceptionally sinister.

The sinister gaze first swept past Ye Zhen and then lingered on Luluo.

"This lady must be the heroine Luluo from the Qingluo Sect, right? I, Wei, am not very skilled, but I would like to witness the lady’s exquisite moves!"

With a grin that exposed his big, shiny teeth flashing a cold light, Wei Wuji’s ashen face suddenly faded away, as if nothing had happened, he issued a challenge to Luluo.

But everyone knew that beneath that seemingly calm face of Wei Wuji, there was immense anger hiding.

Although it is said that there is no distinction between men and women among martial artists, by nature, male martial artists seldom challenge female martial artists, especially those with lower cultivation than themselves.

Wei Wuji originally wanted to deal with Ye Zhen, but seeing as Ye Zhen was at the Peak of Spirit Summoning Realm, the gap was somewhat large, and he couldn’t bear to challenge Ye Zhen directly.

However, it was quite common for martial artists who were only one stage apart in cultivation to challenge each other. Wei Wuji’s challenge to Luluo was also reasonable.

Hearing Wei Wuji’s challenge, both Ye Zhen and Luluo stood up; Luluo was ready to accept the challenge, while Ye Zhen was preparing to fight in place of Luluo.

"I’ll do it! If I sit by and watch my junior sister being bullied, I wouldn’t have the face to meet anyone as her senior brother! Wei, do you dare to fight with me, Han Tai?"

Han Tai forcefully pushed down on Ye Zhen’s shoulders and strode forward to meet the sinister-eyed Wei Wuji.

"Why wouldn’t I dare!"

"Brother Wei, perhaps you should change your clothes first?"

Sha Muchao, who was hosting the gathering, uttered a sentence that once again made Wei Wuji’s expression extremely awkward. He left somewhat dejectedly to clean himself up and change.

Half a quarter-hour later, Wei Wuji and Han Tai were embroiled in a fierce battle.

The moment the two began to fight, Ye Zhen’s brows furrowed slightly.

The fight was somewhat unfavorable for Han Tai. Both Han Tai and Wei Wuji cultivated attribute spiritual power. Han Tai cultivated Earth Attribute Spiritual Power, known for its heavy and powerful essence, which, coupled with his wild and peerless stick technique, was invincible.

However, Wei Wuji cultivated a rare Wind Attribute Cultivation Technique that focused on light and unpredictable speed. Although the spiritual powers did not counteract each other, Wei Wuji’s cultivation path was effective against Han Tai.

This was also the reason why even now, Ye Zhen had not cultivated attribute spiritual power. Although powerful, once countered, it could be very troublesome, just like Han Tai’s situation at the moment.

Although with every strike Han Tai could smash a big hole in the ground, Wei Wuji floated like a feather, unhindered by Han Tai’s violent storm, just floating with the wind.

However, despite Han Tai’s simple nature, his combat instincts were not poor; he clearly recognized the problem at hand.

"Wei Wuji, take this from me!"

Brilliant earthy-yellow light flashed wildly as Han Tai drew upon his most profound skills. His whole body charged forth like a mud dragon, closing a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. With one strike, he raised a mighty wave of earth as if Taishan mountain itself bore down on Wei Wuji’s head.

"That speed is quite good!"

Watching Wei Wuji shrouded by the shadow of the stick, Ye Zhen exclaimed with surprise in his mind. Han Tai was not simple; nearly every martial artist in the Spirit Transformation Realm had their own ultimate move.

"Be defeated!"

Within the roar, Han Tai’s stick shadow directly shattered Wei Wuji. To be precise, it shattered Wei Wuji’s shadow. The crowd, just recently startled, raised a clamour again.

When Han Tai looked up, Wei Wuji had already appeared above his head.

"Hmph, try taking one of my moves!"

A deep green Wind Element spiritual power surged around Wei Wuji’s body, and the illusion of a green crane materialised behind him.

In the next instant, Wei Wuji merged with the green crane’s illusion and struck Han Tai like lightning.

In a flash, Han Tai’s entire surroundings, front, back, left, and right, were all filled with the images of the green cranes.

"Green Crane Illusion Kill!" someone shouted in surprise.

Bang bang bang bang!

Wei Wuji moved as fast as lightning, and in a split second, he collided with Han Tai’s Protective Spirit Force hundreds of times. At first glance, it looked like a mass of green and earthy-yellow lights colliding with each other.

Thud!

In an instant, the earthy-yellow light shattered, Han Tai spat out blood and fell back, while Wei Wuji’s green crane shadow coalesced again, attacking Han Tai like a bolt of lightning.

"Not good!"

Luluo cried out, her Black Jade Long Whip already straight out from being flicked.

But Luluo was fast, and Ye Zhen was even faster.

Whizz!

A Sword Gang descended like a thunderclap from the sky, forcing Wei Wuji to abandon his pursuit of Han Tai.

"Wei Wuji, I, Zheng Fuyun, will fight with you, you don’t mind, do you?"

Ye Zhen pointed his Profound Yang Sword at Wei Wuji and called out coldly.

"I couldn’t ask for more!"

Among Wei Wuji’s sinister gaze, a barely concealed delight flashed through. It would be very embarrassing for him to challenge Ye Zhen, a warrior of the Spirit Summoning Realm, but if Ye Zhen himself offered the challenge, that was another matter entirely.

"Be careful, his speed is incredibly fast, and there’s some trickiness to it!"

As Han Tai passed by Ye Zhen, with a hand over his chest, he softly reminded him.

"Big cousin, don’t hold back!"

Luluo’s instruction suddenly kindled an utterly absurd feeling among the audience.

A martial artist of the Spirit Transformation Realm was actually admonishing a martial artist of the Spirit Summoning Realm to not hold back, and with such an air of extreme confidence at that. Could it be that this Zheng Fuyun actually had something extraordinary about him?

For a moment, all the martial artists present fixed their interested gazes on Ye Zhen.

"Please!"

Ye Zhen took a deep breath. His divine sense plummeted, focusing on the Sword Vein Divine Power.

To deal with Wei Wuji, Ye Zhen had no intention of using the War Soul Blood Flag. The War Soul Blood Flag was for fighting desperately in critical moments. For now, a sparring battle was better faced with true combat power.

Hum!

The First Sword Vein suddenly emerged within Ye Zhen’s body, humming continuously!

Amidst the humming of the Sword Vein, an indescribable sensation suddenly surfaced within Ye Zhen’s heart—Sword Heart Enlightenment!

The 65% chance of entering the Sword Heart Enlightenment realm associated with the Sword Vein Divine Power occurred. In the blink of an eye, Ye Zhen felt as though with the Profound Yang Sword in his hands, he had connected with heaven and earth.

The range of his divine sense perception seemed to have expanded a hundredfold. Every movement within a four or five-mile radius appeared in Ye Zhen’s mind, including the shopkeeper at the front of the tavern bowing and scraping to tell newcomers that the inn was full.

Within moments, whether it was Wei Wuji, Sha Muchao, Bao Hong, or any other martial artist present, their expressions changed.

They were stunned by the aura emanating from Ye Zhen.

In their eyes, at that moment, Ye Zhen suddenly transformed into a peerless precious sword. Most importantly, they felt completely exposed before this peerless precious sword.

Ye Zhen’s eyes seemed as if they could see through everything, leaving them without any secrets.

But the most shocked of all was Wei Wuji.

Apart from what others were feeling, Wei Wuji frighteningly discovered that although Ye Zhen was standing just twenty meters in front of him, his divine sense could not detect Ye Zhen’s presence.

A deep shock flickered in Wei Wuji’s eyes, and his body flashed with an azure light as he lunged at Ye Zhen like lightning.

Wei Wuji understood very well that Ye Zhen must have entered some peculiar state; perhaps a preemptive attack could break through this state.

Bang!

The ten-zhang-long Profound Yang Sword Gang collided fiercely with the azure light transformed by Wei Wuji. As the radiance briefly dimmed, Ye Zhen stepped back three paces.

Wei Wuji was first stunned, then immediately delighted. "Hmph, no matter how advanced your realm is, the difference in cultivation is insurmountable." The azure light flashed, and Wei Wuji turned into a burst of blue light, ferociously pressing the attack.

In this aspect, Wei Wuji was not wrong. Even though Ye Zhen’s realm and cultivation techniques were quite comparable to theirs, the disparity in cultivation was simply too vast. Even with the amplification of the Profound Yang Sword and Sword Heart Enlightenment, it wasn’t enough.

With the amplification of the Profound Yang Sword and Sword Heart Enlightenment, it was no problem for Ye Zhen to defeat a martial artist of the First Stage of Spirit Transformation Realm. However, against a martial artist of the Second Stage of Spirit Transformation Realm, he was in a suppressed state due to the difference in cultivation.

Yet, Ye Zhen still had no intention of using the War Soul Blood Flag. He relied solely on the Sword Heart Enlightenment to anticipate the enemy’s moves and tried his best to avoid direct clashes with Wei Wuji.

Nonetheless, Ye Zhen was still forced to retreat step by step by Wei Wuji’s sheer speed.

However, Ye Zhen’s sword moves also caused Wei Wuji a great deal of distress.

Often, when Ye Zhen thrust out a seemingly ordinary sword move, Wei Wuji would find himself exposed as if he had delivered his vitals to the tip of Ye Zhen’s sword, forcing him to hastily change his moves.

For a while, Ye Zhen actually fought on par with Wei Wuji.

This scene surprised everyone, including Sha Muchao, Bao Hong, and even Luluo.

Everyone knew how strong Wei Wuji’s combat power was; he had just defeated Han Tai, who was at the Third Stage of Spirit Transformation Realm. But here was Ye Zhen, a martial artist at the peak of the Spirit Summoning Realm, who, despite a huge disparity in cultivation, could actually hold his own against Wei Wuji and occasionally even put him in a very awkward position.

In other words, Ye Zhen, a peak martial artist of Spirit Summoning Realm, possessed the combat power of a Third-Stage Spirit Transformation Realm martial artist.

Therefore, the contemptuous attitude of the other martial artists watching the battle had by now entirely dissipated.

If a peak martial artist of the Spirit Summoning Realm already had the combat power of the Third Stage of Spirit Transformation Realm, what would happen once he broke through to the Spirit Transformation Realm? Unthinkable, right?

"A genius!"

"An absolute genius who has not graced this world!"

Sha Muchao silently exclaimed, his confidence for the upcoming Black Dragon Ancient Land’s Black Dragon Ranking battle dwindling even further.

The more Wei Wuji fought, the more anxious he grew, while Ye Zhen became calmer and more composed. This was the mighty aspect of Sword Heart Enlightenment; remaining calm as an ancient well in battle, not rushing or panicking, exerting immense pressure on the opponent.

"This won’t do, I must end this battle quickly! If this continues, even if I don’t lose, I’ll still be disgraced!" Wei Wuji thought anxiously.

Suddenly, seizing an opportunity, Wei Wuji’s figure shot up as he rocketed above Ye Zhen. Dark cyan light surged from his body, and the phantom image of a Spirit Crane emerged behind him, merging with Wei Wuji in an instant and striking Ye Zhen like a bolt of lightning.

Green Crane Illusion Kill!

"Be careful!"

Seeing Wei Wuji use this killing move again, Luluo couldn’t help but cry out.

"Be defeated!"

With a shout, the crane shadow Wei Wuji transformed into created a circle around Ye Zhen. Dozens of crane shadows pecked at Ye Zhen at the same time!

"Wei Wuji, no injuring!"

Seeing this, Han Tai, who was clutching his chest, suddenly stood up and urgently called out. He knew all too well the potency of Wei Wuji’s move; most crucially, Ye Zhen’s defensive capabilities were nowhere near comparable to a Third-Stage Spirit Transformation Realm martial artist!

Having been injured by this attack himself, Ye Zhen would... (to be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly passes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
