Chapter 540: Chapter 534: Spiritual Power Brick (Second Update!)

"Not too stupid, I see, or else our Sun and Moon Divine Sect would have to make room for another eunuch," said Yua Huaisong, clad in a red cloak, as he looked at Ye Zhen, his laugh unabashed and unapologetic, his gaze drifting towards Ye Zhen’s nearly bare lower body.

After the laughter, Yua Huaisong casually waved at Ye Zhen, "Scram, I’ve used this High Grade Spirit Institute for....."

"Bastard!"

Almost at the same time, the fury in Ye Zhen peaked, and with a thunderous shout, he sprang into action, pointing a finger towards Yua Huaisong.

As the ancient and profound aura emerged, a jade-colored finger suddenly flew out of the void, aimed lightning-fast at the arrogantly grinning Yua Huaisong.

Seeing the jade-colored finger flying towards him, Yua Huaisong’s expression froze in shock, apparently never expecting Ye Zhen, a Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist, to dare strike at him.

However, the ancient and profound aura exuding from the Floating Cloud Finger filled him with alarm.

Just like Yua Huaisong previously used a red fist imprint to sneak attack Ye Zhen from behind, Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger, launched when Yua Huaisong believed Ye Zhen wouldn’t dare retaliate, felt akin to a surprise attack to him, even though it was a direct assault.

Caught off guard!

Moreover, the distance between the two was only four to five meters!

On instinct, a red Protective Spirit Armor surged from within Yua Huaisong’s body. In such a brief instant, that was all Yua Huaisong could muster!

Plunk!

The jade-colored finger struck the Protective Spirit Force that had just risen to the surface of Yua Huaisong, causing it to tremble violently, sending out concentric ripples.

Just as the ripples reached their densest, the Protective Spirit Force that had just emerged on Yua Huaisong’s body dissipated suddenly!

In that instant, Yua Huaisong was so shocked that his hair stood on end and his face turned pale, disbelief plastered across his features.

How could a First Stage Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist possibly break through the Protective Spirit Armor of someone at the Vein Forging Realm?

What was more fatal was that Ye Zhen’s jade-colored finger was aimed right at the center of his forehead, having already pierced his Protective Spirit Armor. If it continued to press forward, his death was certain.

Fortunately for him, Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger only just managed to break through his Protective Spirit Force and then dissipated, effectively perishing together with his Protective Spirit Armor!

The heart that Yua Huaisong had held in suspense finally settled back down, only to flare up in rage an instant later!

"You brat, daring to lay a finger on me, you’re courting death!"

"Hmph! First Stage of Vein Forging Realm, is that all there is to it?"

As Yua Huaisong boiled with anger, Ye Zhen suddenly let out a cold snort and pointed again!

Just like before, a jade-colored finger identical to the previous one without any noticeable difference quickly aimed at Yua Huaisong’s forehead again!

If one had to identify any difference, it was that Ye Zhen, the actual person who executed it, became clearer.

Ye Zhen’s second Floating Cloud Finger came one after another, swift and rapid. The distance between the two remained short, and what was more alarming was that Yua Huaisong’s Protective Spirit Armor had just been breached.

Seeing this, Yua Huaisong jumped in fright.

Without any time for further reaction, all he could do was to push his Protective Spirit Armor back to the surface of his body in the shortest possible time.

The moment the red Protective Spirit Armor spread across his body again, Yua Huaisong’s heart finally calmed down, knowing from experience that Ye Zhen’s finger technique, having broken his Protective Spirit Armor, would have no power left to worry about.

With a thought from his Divine Sense, Yua Huaisong prepared to deal with Ye Zhen.

The audacity! A First Stage Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist dares to strike at him—does he no longer wish to live, or does he really want to become a eunuch?

Bang!

Almost at the moment he had the thought, Yua Huaisong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his head seemingly hit by a hammer, with a feeling of intense dizziness spreading through him, causing a momentary blank in Yua Huaisong’s consciousness.

And this was normal!

The space between the eyebrows is the gateway to a martial artist’s Soul Sea, and if it suffers a heavy blow, even if they were a heavenly deity, their Soul Sea would be violently shaken!

Ye Zhen’s second Floating Cloud Finger had directly broken through Yua Huaisong’s Protective Spirit Armor and then heavily struck the space between his eyebrows.

It caused the space between Yua Huaisong’s eyebrows to collapse more than half an inch. If it had gone any deeper, Yua Huaisong’s life would likely have already come to an end.

"If you want to die, try moving a finger," Ye Zhen’s cold voice filled with killing intent was the first thing Yua Huaisong heard as his consciousness returned.

By then, Yua Huaisong realized that Ye Zhen was standing just six meters away, with a two-meter-long red Finger Sword poised at the wound on his forehead, making the wound throb painfully.

And any motion he dared to make would have the red Finger Sword pierce straight through his head.

Yua Huaisong was not stupid; on the contrary, having advanced his Cultivation to the First Stage of Vein Forging Realm before the age of thirty also made him a genius in the True Spirit Domain.

Thinking swiftly, he pieced together a series of events.

It must have been Ye Zhen’s Floating Cloud Finger that caused him heavy injury, which then allowed Ye Zhen to take control over him.

But what he couldn’t understand was that the aura of Ye Zhen’s first Floating Cloud Finger had merely dissipated after breaking his Protective Spirit Armor. With the second one’s aura seeming almost the same as the first, why then could it cause him such severe injury?

Not only had it broken his Protective Spirit Armor, but how could it also heavily injure him, a Vein Forging Realm strong man who had cultivated his Acquired Spiritual Body over a long period?

It is said that the Acquired Spiritual Body of a martial artist can reach Great Accomplishment at the Fifth Realm Peak of Spirit Transformation, but the strength of the Acquired Spiritual Body cultivated and nurtured by Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists is definitely not comparable to that of a Soul Sea Realm Martial Artist.

That left Yua Huaisong utterly confounded!

He couldn’t make sense of it!

The only person who could explain this was Ye Zhen himself.

When Ye Zhen attacked Yua Huaisong for the first time in a fit of rage, although he was furious, he still retained a bit of his rationality.

His cultivation had just made a breakthrough, and his combat power, as well as overall strength, had greatly increased. Especially for a martial skill like the Floating Cloud Finger, which grew stronger as the martial artist’s strength increased, Ye Zhen didn’t know just how powerful it had become.

If he accidentally killed this bastard in front of him, the trouble would be no small matter.

In any martial artist’s power group, a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse was absolutely important, and moreover, the rules of the Divine Sect were set before him.

Therefore, Ye Zhen’s first use of the Floating Cloud Finger was completely based on his own ability and did not have the augmentation from the Purple Spirit residing in the First Sword Vein.

After Ye Zhen’s first Floating Cloud Finger broke through Yua Huaisong’s Protective Spirit Force, he had a reference. His second Floating Cloud Finger had no more reservations, directly calling upon the Purple Spirit to bolster it, increasing its power by more than two or three times.

That was the reason why the power of the two Floating Cloud Fingers differed.

"Hmm, which hall do you belong to, daring to kill me? Tired of living?" Having calmed down, Yua Huaisong also figured out the crux of the matter.

"Who says I don’t dare to kill you? Weren’t you the one who attacked me first?" Sneering, Ye Zhen began to size up Yua Huaisong, thinking of how to deal with the guy.

He had nearly been rendered impotent by this bastard, and even if he didn’t kill him, he had to teach him a lesson he’d never forget.

"You dare to kill me?"

Confidently smiling, Yua Huaisong suddenly stepped forward, directly facing Ye Zhen’s Finger Sword, "Come on, you’re so brave, right? If you can, pierce me to death!"

Yua Huaisong walked forward step by step, chest thrust out, forcing Ye Zhen to retreat, yet the Finger Sword never left Yua Huaisong’s forehead.

This was something Yua Huaisong was certain of — whether Ye dared to kill him or not!

Ye Zhen had no reason to kill anyone here!

The Sun and Moon Divine Sect’s number one rule was to forbid fratricide among its members. Martial artists were hot-blooded and had excess energy, so sparring and fighting were fine, but if one dared to kill a member of the Divine Sect, they would break the sect’s ironclad rules, making Ye Zhen an enemy of everyone!

"So, what’s it going to be, you don’t dare, huh? Have the guts, come on, still threatening me?"

While cursing, a murderous glare flashed in Yua Huaisong’s eyes, and silently, a cold Divine Soul Power shot out from behind his head, aiming straight at Ye Zhen’s forehead!

Divine Soul Secret Technique, Yin Wind Stab!

Yua Huaisong’s Yin Wind Stab, just like Ye Zhen’s previous attack on him with the Floating Cloud Finger, was fast and swift. Divine Soul Attacks were inherently fast, and with the short distance, almost as soon as Ye Zhen had reacted, the Yin Wind Stab had blasted into his mind.

Feeling the Yin Wind Stab penetrate Ye Zhen’s mind, Yua Huaisong laughed triumphantly.

What would be the consequence of a First Stage of Soul Sea Realm martial artist getting hit by a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse’s Divine Soul Attack?

At the very least, the victim’s Divine Soul would be injured, requiring a year or two of recuperation, and in more serious cases, the Soul Sea would shatter, the Innate Divine Soul would be destroyed, and the victim would die on the spot.

Of course, Yua Huaisong wouldn’t dare to violate the iron rules of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, so he held back slightly on his Yin Wind Stab. But by his estimates, Ye Zhen, a martial artist at the First Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, would be on the brink of having his Soul Sea collapse after getting hit.

He wouldn’t be able to recover for three to five years.

What do martial artists lack the most?

Time!

Wasting three to five years would practically ruin half of this guy’s path in martial arts.

"Hahaha, boy, you’ve fallen for it, you’re going dow—"

Bang!

A large square brick condensed purely from spiritual power smashed hard against the back of Yua Huaisong’s head.

"Go to hell! You’re just asking for a beating!"

"How is this possible?"

"You got hit by my Yin Wind Stab, how can you be unscathed..."

This thought merely flashed in Yua Huaisong’s mind, without even a chance to scream it out, when he felt his head was hammered, seeing stars and the world spinning, and he fainted on the spot.

Even as a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse, his head was vulnerable to a brick! Yes, a very forceful brick!

And Ye Zhen was thoroughly enraged!

"You bastard, one sneak attack was enough, but you dared to attack a second time? Do you really think I’m made of mud?"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Today, I’m going to teach you a good lesson!"

Ye Zhen cursed with each strike, using the Spiritual Power Brick to slam Yua Huaisong’s head four or five times. Even with a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse’s restoration power and strong cultivation, they couldn’t withstand Ye Zhen’s continuous attacks on the head. Dizzy and unable to recover, Yua Huaisong was tossed around by the Spiritual Power Brick, screaming in misery!

"Stop, stop..."

Suddenly, an urgent voice broke out, causing Ye Zhen to pause. No way, could this guy still cry for mercy? That means he might be close to recovering.

Subconsciously, Ye Zhen put even more force into the Spiritual Power Brick in his hand!
