Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 128: Certain Death

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Certain Death

All at once?

Hearing Ye Fei’s words, the originally battle-ready Black Demon, Nu Mu Vajra, and Hee Wuji immediately halted, their gazes ice-cold as they stared at Ye Fei.

As for the others, each wore a mocking expression, barely holding back their laughter!

At this very moment, in this very scene!

Faced with three peak-level practitioners of the Hua Realm, Ye Fei was already in a situation where death was certain. Yet now, he brazenly dared to tell them to attack all at once. Was he in such a hurry to die?

As expected, Black Demon was the first to snort coldly, saying, "Boy, it seems I was wrong before. You’re not brave—you’re brainless! No matter, since you’re so eager to die, I’ll gladly grant your wish!"

With that, Black Demon took the lead, springing forward and reaching for Ye Fei.

Nu Mu Vajra and Hee Wuji, seeing this, naturally refused to be left behind.

In an instant, the three’s attacks landed almost simultaneously in front of Ye Fei.

"Sigh... doomed. This is the price of arrogance!"

Seeing this scene, everyone had the same thought.

Even Shangguan Hong’s posture shifted slightly, clearly showing he was preparing for their chance to act as soon as Ye Fei was dead!

Clang!

A crisp sound suddenly rang out, causing everyone to frown momentarily.

They saw that the three who had initially rushed forward were all forced back several steps. A delicate little blade had grown against the wind, transforming into the towering Heavenly Slash Demon Saber, which now floated beside Ye Fei, shielding him from their attacks.

Yet the three whose strikes were blocked didn’t show the slightest shock. Instead, their faces lit up with fervent excitement as they stared at the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber!

"It’s out! It’s finally out! Hahaha, and it can even block all three of us? What a treasure, what a treasure indeed!" Hee Wuji burst out laughing first.

"This magic treasure belongs to me, Black Demon!" Black Demon’s eyes gleamed greedily as he stared at the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber.

Nu Mu Vajra, unable to contain himself, directly reached out to snatch it.

Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Ye Fei’s eyes.

The Heavenly Slash Demon Saber whirled twice in mid-air, then instantly unleashed a sharp blade-light, slashing towards Nu Mu Vajra.

Slash!

The Heavenly Slash Demon Saber flipped and struck Nu Mu Vajra squarely in the chest. Nu Mu Vajra immediately flew backward, crashing so hard into a stone pillar in the hall that it snapped in two before he collapsed to the ground.

The crowd was stunned!

No one expected that the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber would hold such terrifying power, capable of striking down even a peak-level Hua Realm practitioner like Nu Mu Vajra with a single slash.

But among those shocked wasn’t just the crowd—Ye Fei himself was surprised.

Because with that one slash, Nu Mu Vajra should have been cleaved apart directly. Yet he had only been sent flying!

What’s more, Nu Mu Vajra now shook his head and got up again.

His stance made it seem as though he hadn’t been injured at all!

"Such incredible defense, even the Heavenly Slash couldn’t break through!"

Ye Fei took a deep breath, burying his earlier contempt.

He had believed that, relying on the might of the Heavenly Slash, practitioners at the peak of the Hua Realm were merely fodder, no different from the ease of cutting down foes the night before.

But now, Nu Mu Vajra had withstood the blade’s strike. Such defensive power surpassed anyone Ye Fei had ever encountered before!

"Hahaha! An excellent magic treasure!"

While Ye Fei stood in stunned silence, Nu Mu Vajra let out a hearty laugh. "But my Golden Bell Shield wasn’t honed for nothing. This level of attack isn’t enough to harm me, so this magic treasure will be mine now!"

With that, Nu Mu Vajra reached for the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber again, only to be struck by another slash, sending his massive body flying onto a nearby martial artist who didn’t dodge in time. The impact caused the martial artist to vomit blood and die instantly.

"What... what terrifying power in this magic treasure—and such astounding defense!"

The onlookers, alarmed, quickly widened the distance between themselves and the combatants.

Neither the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber nor Nu Mu Vajra was anything these lower-level practitioners wanted to entangle with. If they got caught in the crossfire, they would surely meet the same tragic fate as the unfortunate victim just now.

Meanwhile, Yang Qingqing, observing from the sidelines, was utterly dumbfounded by the battle—the blade’s strikes and the sheer strength of the practitioners.

She had never imagined that the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber could reap lives with the same unrelenting ease it had displayed the night before!

However, for the saber to hold its own against a peak-level Hua Realm practitioner purely on its power as a magic treasure was impressive enough to leave her astounded.

"So... so powerful! This level of strength is perhaps comparable to the Innate Martial King!" Yang Qingqing couldn’t help but exclaim softly.

"The Innate Martial King?"

Shangguan Hong sneered upon hearing Yang Qingqing’s words. "Sure, Nu Mu Vajra is formidable, and Ye Fei’s Demon Saber is indeed extraordinary. But compared to the power of an Innate Martial King, this is nothing more than the strength of ants!"

As he spoke, Shangguan Hong’s expression turned into one of unshakable devotion. "The Family Head is none other than an Innate Martial King. That power—it’s beyond imagination! A force no one can resist, the might of a god!"

"But with such a powerful magic treasure at his side, it seems unlikely Ye Fei will perish, doesn’t it?" Yang Qingqing shifted the conversation with her question.

"Not perish? Haha, don’t be naive!" Shangguan Hong sneered coldly.

Following his gaze, Yang Qingqing noticed that far from being beaten, Nu Mu Vajra was growing fiercer with every clash, keeping the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber locked in combat.

Meanwhile, Black Demon and Hee Wuji had abandoned any intent to seize the saber directly like Nu Mu Vajra. Instead, both advanced on Ye Fei.

"Kid, it’s your time to die!" Black Demon chuckled sinisterly.

"Haha, without that magic treasure, you’re nothing. So hurry up and meet your end!" Hee Wuji added with a chilling smirk.

The end had come!

That was what everyone believed as they watched this grim turn of events unfold.

No matter how powerful the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber, it was still just a magic treasure—a mere external tool!

Now that it was caught in Nu Mu Vajra’s grasp and couldn’t return to Ye Fei’s side, how could Ye Fei hope to contend with Black Demon and Hee Wuji?

Yet just as everyone assumed Ye Fei’s fate was sealed, a faint smile unexpectedly surfaced on Ye Fei’s face.

Black Demon and Hee Wuji frowned upon seeing this smile, an inexplicable sense of dread rising in unison within their chests.

"Argh!!!"

A sudden shriek tore through the air.

Nu Mu Vajra, previously entangled with the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber, abruptly spat blood as he staggered backward, now sporting several deep gouges that exposed bone.

To everyone’s astonishment, the marks resembled claw wounds left by some beast.

"L-look! What is that? Is that... is that a tiger?"

Someone among the crowd screamed, pointing wildly.

Everyone turned to look.

Moments before their eyes, the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber erupted in black light. Suddenly, it transformed into a towering five-meter-tall black tiger!

It was the Artifact Spirit of the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber!

The life soul of the tiger demon Ye Fei had slain!

Roar!

A thunderous roar erupted from the black tiger’s maw, momentarily freezing Nu Mu Vajra in his tracks.

Swish!

The black tiger lunged directly at Nu Mu Vajra, swiping him with a single mighty paw. Nu Mu Vajra was instantly reduced to a mangled heap of flesh.

His blood sprayed forth, splattering across the onlookers’ faces.

And silence fell upon the entire hall.
