Chapter 337 - 333: Those Who Cross the Line Die

Chapter 337: Chapter 333: Those Who Cross the Line Die

Outside the Secret Mansion, Long Ze, Liu Fei, and Luo Liu suddenly looked astonished as the snowflakes that filled the sky suddenly disappeared and normalcy returned to the ancient forest in an instant.

The sunlight, fierce and warm, filtered through the leaves and onto their bodies, and in the next moment, their eyes simultaneously lit up.

At the poison pond where Ye Zhen and Caiyi had disappeared, a burst of radiance transformed the area. The pond and the corpse of the demon beast dissipated in the light, revealing a vine-covered cave entrance hidden along a winding path.

The eyes of Long Ze, Liu Fei, and Luo Liu simultaneously shone, and a hint of uncontrollable greed emerged in their gazes as they looked at each other.

"Old Liu, Old Luo, should we... go and take a look? This is a Secret Mansion that even martial artists of the Spirit Transformation Realm could get trapped in; inside, there might be something..." Long Ze’s eyes were fixed firmly on the cave entrance, seemingly unable to look away.

"But, but those two young people, they just saved us. To rush in and compete with them for treasure, isn’t that a bit... heartless?" Liu Fei hesitated.

"Heartless?"

"What’s the price of a conscience! Old Liu, is this your first day out? In this world, nothing is cheaper than conscience! Moreover, we have been searching for this Secret Mansion for half a year, why should it all belong to them?"

"Whether you enter or not, if you don’t, I will!" Luo Liu suddenly walked towards the entrance.

With Luo Liu’s move, the last bit of hesitation in Long Ze and Liu Fei vanished, and they followed Luo Liu into the cave entrance.

"Huh?"

Ye Zhen, who had just finished refining the Mirage Dragon Pearl from the Phantom Soul Beast King, suddenly became cold, and his gaze sharply turned towards the entrance.

"You three, haven’t left yet?"

"Leave, why should we leave? This Secret Mansion, a relic of ancient times, belongs to everyone, why can’t we enter?" Luo Liu declared righteously.

However, despite his words, Luo Liu was cautious. But when he saw Caiyi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a pale face, a hint of joy flashed across his face.

"We mean no harm! We have been looking for this Secret Mansion for six months, and we also wish to explore it. Don’t worry, we’ll explore separately, each to their own. We absolutely won’t take advantage of others in danger!" Long Ze said.

"I promise, we absolutely will not harm you! We just want to look for a chance to breakthrough!" Liu Fei also said.

"Brother Ye Zhen, you absolutely mustn’t, the treasure inside is very important to you!" Caiyi’s voice suddenly rang inside Ye Zhen’s mind.

"Caiyi, recover at ease, I’ll handle these three rascals!"

Suddenly, Ye Zhen scoffed.

"Listening to you all, not only should we not see you as opponents, but we should also thank you, right? Why didn’t you dare to come in earlier?"

"Should I also praise you for having a conscience?"

At the entrance, both Long Ze and Liu Fei’s old faces turned red, but Luo Liu showed no sign of guilt, "Young man, if I were you, I’d keep quiet now to avoid bringing disaster upon yourself!

Considering that you saved us before, I won’t hold it against you, but if you continue to speak recklessly, don’t blame me for being heartless and ruthless!"

"Let’s go, let’s explore the Secret Mansion, see what he can do about it?"

Scoff!

A sword mark suddenly appeared ten meters from the entrance, "Those who dare to cross this line, die!"

"Ridiculous, one of you is severely injured, and you with your second stage of Spirit Transformation Realm, are you seeking death?" Luo Liu laughed coldly, shouting loudly and boldly stepping over Ye Zhen’s sword mark.

After crossing, he seemed quite pleased, "Look, I crossed it, what can you possibly do?"

Ye Zhen didn’t move, but his gaze turned toward Long Ze and Liu Fei. Often, people die from their own greed.

"Old Dragon, Old Liu, are you leaving or not? If you aren’t leaving, I won’t wait for you!" Luo Liu urged.

Under Luo Liu’s urging, Long Ze and Liu Fei stepped one after another over Ye Zhen’s sword mark, "Sorry, rest assured, as long as you do not make a move, we will absolutely not harm you!"

Watching the three of them successively step over the sword mark, Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly turned icy. Dealing with these seasoned tricksters, playing nice was indeed impossible.

"You two talk too much, not dealing with him would be generous enough, what can he possibly do to us?"

"Really?"

Almost simultaneously with Ye Zhen’s cold snort, a tremendous wave of Divine Soul Power surged up, a chilling force silently striking at Luo Liu, who was at the forefront!

Soul Thorn!

"You...."

Luo Liu’s pupils shrank, and before he could react, he fell to the ground like a felled log, his life force fading away instantly!

"Old Luo?"

"Luo Liu?"

"Divine Soul Shock, a Divine Soul attack unique to those strong in the Soul Sea Realm, how could you possibly?" Long Ze and Liu Fei’s eyes widened in terror, but Ye Zhen gave them no chance to react, lunging forward!

Boom!

A muffled roar of thunder erupted suddenly, and a series of Wind Cloud Sword Qi slashed towards the shocked Long Ze and Liu Fei.

"I have said, those who cross the sword scar die!"

Accompanied by the Wind Cloud Sword Qi, a chilling Divine Soul Power was silently unleashed again. This time, Long Ze and Liu Fei were prepared for the Divine Soul Attack.

However, the vast difference in Divine Soul Power caused Long Ze’s body to shiver, his Divine Soul clearly shaken. Not only did his movements slow down, but even his consciousness experienced an extremely brief blackout.

For a Spirit Transformation Realm powerhouse, half a breath’s time was enough to die several times over.

Luo Liu’s huge head suddenly flew up, with blood spraying directly onto Liu Fei’s face, terrifying Liu Fei into screaming and turning to flee.

But Ye Zhen had already given him a chance.

With the speed of lightning, the Soul Thorn and Wind Cloud Sword Qi coordinated, and Liu Fei’s head abruptly flew into the air.

Looking at the three bodies lying on the ground, Ye Zhen felt not a trace of excitement. It was then that Ye Zhen realized the true terror of a Soul Sea Realm powerhouse.

For example, the first to be killed, Luo Liu, died from Ye Zhen’s Soul Thorn which directly severed his Divine Soul.

His death was so direct because he was too close to Ye Zhen, almost only ten meters away, which was the strongest range for Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Attack, and because he was too careless, not expecting Ye Zhen to have such a powerful Divine Soul Attack.

Then there were Long Ze and Liu Fei, who both endured Ye Zhen’s Soul Thorn attack, but their Divine Souls were not severed like Luo Liu’s.

As Martial Artists cultivated up to the Spirit Transformation Realm, their Divine Soul Power all increased to a certain extent. As long as one consolidates their consciousness, it is very difficult to be instantly killed by a Divine Soul Attack. However, with a huge gap in Divine Soul Cultivation, once the Divine Soul is shaken by an attack, death is not far off.

At this time, Ye Zhen was also somewhat frightened.

It was also luck that when facing several Soul Sea Realm powerhouses, he rarely confronted them directly; instead, he was desperately trying to increase the distance and escape every time.

If Ye Zhen had entangled with those Soul Sea Realm powerhouses at close range, he might have already died under their Divine Soul Attack by now.

Moreover, when he killed Zou Zhi, he had endured Zou Zhi’s Divine Soul Attack, but Ye Zhen’s Sword Heart Enlightenment had detected it in advance, and Ye Zhen had even toughed out Hong Banjiang’s Divine Soul Attack.

The main reason actually was that Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Cultivation was stronger than that of a typical Spirit Transformation Realm martial artist, having reached the standard of a first-stage powerhouse of the Soul Sea Realm long ago; this was the main reason Ye Zhen was unharmed.

Divine Soul Cultivation at the first stage of the Capturing Object Realm, this is the level of Divine Soul Cultivation of a first-stage powerhouse of the Soul Sea Realm. Once it reaches the second stage, Form Gathering, it signifies that the Soul Sea Realm powerhouse’s cultivation has broken through to the second stage of the Soul Sea Realm.

Now, with Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Cultivation breaking through to the second stage, Form Gathering, facing the Soul Sea Realm powerhouses head-on in the future will be far less dangerous.

In this regard, Ye Zhen is now a very abnormal individual.

Only possessing second-stage Spirit Realm Spiritual Power Cultivation, yet he has the Divine Soul Cultivation of a second-stage Soul Sea Realm powerhouse. Of course, the standard of the Soul Sea Realm second stage is not only about Divine Soul Cultivation.

But under this special combination, Ye Zhen’s combat power far exceeds that of a typical martial artist of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Most importantly, as his Divine Soul Cultivation improves, the power of his martial skills that involve Divine Soul Power will all see a substantial increase.

For example, Floating Cloud Finger, Shattered Jade Seal, and Origin Sword Vein.

Although Ye Zhen hasn’t tested them yet, the increase in power is definitely more than ten to twenty percent.

Even the power of the Wind Cloud Sword Qi just now was nearly ten percent stronger than usual.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen suddenly became curious. Listening to what Caiyi had said earlier, the gift Caiyi was going to give him seemed related to Divine Soul Power. What could it be?

Once Divine Soul Power is excessively consumed, its recovery is very slow, so after resting for nearly two hours, Divine Soul Power slightly recovered, and then Caiyi got up.

"Brother Ye Zhen, let’s go. Next, let’s go find the gift I have for you," Caiyi said, linking arms with Ye Zhen and starting to stroll around this Secret Mansion.

While strolling, Caiyi began to explain the whole situation to Ye Zhen.

Caiyi’s bloodline and Divine Soul Power were somewhat special. While flying at high altitude earlier, Caiyi suddenly sensed a wave of special Divine Soul Waves.

According to Caiyi, that special wave of Divine Soul Waves was probably the Phantom Soul Beast King using its Divine Soul Power to attack others, most likely triggered upon discovering the intrusion of Long Ze, Liu Fei, and Luo Liu, initiating a wide range of Illusory Realm to trap its foes.

It was normal to detect the Phantom Soul Beast King’s Divine Soul Waves, but because the Divine Soul Power unleashed by the Phantom Soul Beast King was somewhat grand, Caiyi even sensed another extremely special Divine Soul Aura.

This special Divine Soul Aura only leaked for a moment, yet Caiyi captured it, leading to the subsequent events.

"Hmm, turn left here!"

"We’re going through this Shuilian Cave!"

The deeper they went, the more amazed Ye Zhen became. He realized that this Secret Mansion might very well be a Heritage Mansion of a predecessor. According to Caiyi’s speculation, the Phantom Soul Beast King was likely the demon servant of the mansion’s owner.

The mansion owner had passed away, but this Heavenly Level Lower Grade Phantom Soul Beast King had a long lifespan and was still executing its orders to guard the cave, hence the Illusory Realm attacks on the intruders.

This Secret Mansion, with the Phantom Soul Beast King still in existence, was absolutely a Dragon Pool and a Tiger’s Den. But now, it was almost like their own backyard.

After turning left and right and moving forward for a kilometer, Caiyi suddenly pointed forward, "Brother Ye Zhen, my sense was not wrong, look, that’s the gift I have for you." (To be continued.
