Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 124: How to Seize

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: How to Seize

Upon hearing Ye Fei’s words, Zhao Shi and Chen Shun froze in shock, quickly retreating a step each.

They didn’t understand what a Magic Treasure was, but the ferocious attack from the Heavenly Slash moments ago was deeply imprinted in their minds. Upon hearing Ye Fei announce his intent to strike, they hesitated, uncertain if they should proceed.

Even Lu Yidao, who had been the most aggressive in battle, now showed a flicker of indecision in his eyes as he schemed.

But the Ten Thousand Pills Medicine King thundered, "Gentlemen! This kid is a Magic User! That small saber of his is a Magic Treasure! Its value surpasses even that of top-grade pills. If we seize it and divide it among ourselves, the pills we can trade for will be more than sufficient to advance to the Hua Realm!"

More valuable than top-grade pills?

Dividing it among four—enough pills for Hua Realm cultivation?

These words made the breathing of Lu Yidao and the other two noticeably heavier!

Nevertheless, Chen Shun immediately questioned, "Medicine King, that Magic Treasure is so fearsome in its attacks. How can we take it?"

"I don’t know either!"

Ten Thousand Pills Medicine King shook his head slightly, but quickly pointed at Ye Fei and said, "But the one controlling the Magic Treasure must be this brat. We only need two of us to tie down the Magic Treasure, while the other two target Ye Fei directly. Both the Magic Treasure and the pills will be ours!"

Upon hearing this, the other three promptly nodded their agreement.

Men die for wealth, birds for food!

At this moment, their eyes held only the Magic Treasure and the Vitality Pills in Ye Fei’s pouch. Concerns about the Shangguan Family’s masters were long forgotten.

"Ye Fei, quickly... quickly escape! You have that little saber to protect you, flee immediately!"

Yang Qingqing, seeing through the gaps in her fingers that Ye Fei was unharmed, cried out urgently.

Though she didn’t know what a Magic Treasure was, deep down she believed that no matter what abilities Ye Fei had, he stood no chance against the four of them.

Seizing the moment to flee was, in her mind, the right choice!

However, Ye Fei simply smiled faintly and replied, "You want me to escape? They are not qualified to make me flee!"

As fast as lightning!

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yidao was the first to rush forward.

But his target wasn’t Ye Fei—it was the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber!

Confidently wielding his long blade, Lu Yidao believed that, despite the saber’s fierce attacks, he could entangle it with ease!

Though entanglement wasn’t Lu Yidao’s ultimate goal!

If the Ten Thousand Pills Medicine King claimed the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber was so precious, then acting first to seize the saber was Lu Yidao’s true intention!

Thus, Lu Yidao wielded his long blade, producing powerful gusts of air. In doing so, he encased the entire Heavenly Slash Demon Saber within the radiance of his blade.

"Haha! The Magic Treasure is mine!"

Gleefully surveying the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber, now enveloped in his blade light, Lu Yidao thrust his long blade forward to subdue the saber and claim it.

After all, no matter how lethal the demon saber was, it was just a small weapon.

As long as his long blade blocked the demon saber’s edge, Lu Yidao was supremely confident in using his Eagle Claw Technique to seize the saber directly!

Clang!

Sure enough, his long blade successfully intercepted the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber, and Lu Yidao, greed flashing across his face, formed his hand into a claw, reaching for the saber.

Upon witnessing this, the other three immediately felt an intense hatred and abandoned Ye Fei altogether, racing toward the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber.

Yet, just then, Ye Fei slowly muttered, "Grow!"

Whoosh!

In an instant, the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber surged in size, transforming into a towering long saber as tall as a person. The long blade that had previously restrained it shattered with a snap, severed cleanly by the saber.

"How... how could this happen?"

Lu Yidao looked on in horror, his face filled with panic.

But the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber had revealed its true form. It would not return unbloodied, cutting an elegant arc through the air.

It passed from Lu Yidao’s front to his back.

Lu Yidao stood rigidly in place, a fine line of blood tracing from his forehead downward. Moments later, with a thud, his body split in two and collapsed to the ground.

The once-mighty Flying Eagle King, Lu Yidao, had been halved by the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber!

Watching Lu Yidao’s end, Ten Thousand Pills Medicine King, Zhao Shi, and Chen Shun were stricken dumb.

They had thought seizing the Vitality Pill from Ye Fei would be a straightforward task, the only difficulty being beating the Shangguan Family to the prize and agreeing on how to split the spoils.

Who would have imagined it would come to this?

Seeing the previously lively Lu Yidao now bisected in two broke their rosy expectations instantly!

Continue, or escape?

The thought erupted simultaneously in their minds!

But before they could decide, Ten Thousand Pills Medicine King abruptly shouted, "Watch out!"

Watch out?

At the warning, Zhao Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He saw the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber dart through the air at an incomprehensible speed, stopping above him and slashing downward.

"Mother of God!"

Zhao Shi nearly lost his soul in terror, stumbling and crawling backward in desperate retreat.

He knew his abilities were on par with those of Lu Yidao. Lu Yidao had his trusty blade but was still split in two. How could he possibly resist?

Boom!

A deafening crash accompanied a cloud of dust as Zhao Shi’s prior position was left with a deep crater. He was drenched in sweat from head to toe!

In one slash, such destructive power? If the saber had struck him, wouldn’t his body be obliterated?

However, a new fear quickly arose in Zhao Shi’s mind.

While the crater was there—where had the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber gone?

"Help me..."

Before Zhao Shi could fully process his thoughts, he heard Chen Shun let out a pitiful wail from nearby. The saber burst from the ground beneath Chen Shun’s feet, slicing him apart. Blood splattered, some landing on Zhao Shi’s face and body.

Escape!

He had to flee!

This Magic Treasure was beyond terrifying!

Feeling the blood of Chen Shun soaking him, Zhao Shi had only one thought. He turned and bolted in panic.

Yet before he could take a few steps, a chilling wind blew at his back. Glancing behind him in fear, he saw the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber not far away. A black saber-light erupted from it, piercing straight through his chest.

Thud!

In what felt like mere seconds, the three who had come together with greedy ambition were all dead, leaving only the Ten Thousand Pills Medicine King alive.

Yang Qingqing now stood frozen, forgetting to cover her eyes, staring blankly at the scene, struggling to believe it.

Initially, seeing the four join forces, she had thought Ye Fei stood no chance.

But now, what was she witnessing?

Ye Fei hadn’t moved—not even once. His arms remained folded behind his back while Lu Yidao and the others had perished one by one, leaving only Ten Thousand Pills Medicine King alive.

It was as if everything around Ye Qingqing had been frozen in time. Only the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber, now back in its small, exquisite form, hovered and danced by Ye Fei’s side.
