Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 129: Who Dares to Disobey

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Who Dares to Disobey

Nu Mu Vajra is dead?

A mighty warrior at the peak of Hua Realm, killed just like that by the innate power of a magical artifact?

No one had expected things to turn out this way!

Black Demon and Hee Wuji momentarily forgot about attacking Ye Fei. They only stared at the Black Tiger, transformed from the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber, with fear in their hearts.

It should be noted that Nu Mu Vajra’s Golden Bell Shield was far superior to their own defenses, which was why he had been able to hold off the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber for so long.

Yet even so, when the saber transformed into the Black Tiger, he was still annihilated instantly.

If it had been either of them in his place, they would have likely met the exact same fate!

Yang Qingqing also widened her mouth in shock, completely unable to believe the scene unfolding before her.

As for Shangguan Hong, he clenched his fists tightly and growled, "This magical artifact—our Shangguan Family must claim it!"

With that thought, Shangguan Hong could no longer contain himself, reluctant to stay hidden and wait to reap the spoils of others’ efforts.

He was just about to signal the Shangguan Family’s experts to make their move.

But at that moment, the Black Tiger moved again!

Its round, glimmering eyes immediately locked onto Black Demon and Hee Wuji after finishing off Nu Mu Vajra.

Black Demon and Hee Wuji quickly brandished their weapons and held them in front of themselves.

Black Demon’s weapon, like his disciple Lu Yidao’s, was a massive pure-black blade. Its appearance alone indicated that it was no ordinary object.

Hee Wuji wielded a sword, which was likewise regarded as a divine weapon.

The onlookers gasped in astonishment, clearly familiar with the reputation of these two warriors’ personal weapons.

But before Hee Wuji and Black Demon could bask in the moment for even a second, the Black Tiger lunged forward and swung its massive claws downward.

*Crack! Crack!*

Both weapons shattered instantly.

"My Bloodthirsty Blade!"

Black Demon’s eyes widened as he stared at his broken blade.

It was a treasure hard-won through years of bloodshed and battle, never once damaged until today.

Hee Wuji felt as though his heart were bleeding, because he didn’t just lose his sword—his entire arm had been severed!

Despite losing his arm, Hee Wuji didn’t hesitate for a second. He turned and fled immediately.

He now understood the immense power of the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber. Forget snatching it away—surviving under its blows was already a blessing!

Moreover, Hee Wuji’s mastery lay entirely in swordsmanship. With his sword and arm gone, his strength had diminished to a mere fraction of what it had been. If he didn’t escape now, when would he?

Though Hee Wuji fled decisively, Black Demon wasn’t so fortunate!

While Black Demon hesitated out of grief for his broken blade, the Black Tiger had already appeared behind him, opened its massive jaws, and swallowed him whole.

In the blink of an eye, the three peak Hua Realm experts who had arrived boldly met tragic ends: two dead, one injured.

And whether dead or alive, every one of them had been fighting against nothing but the innate power of a magical artifact. It was utterly absurd.

Yet, none of the onlookers could muster a laugh.

Because the power of the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber was far too devastating—having such an artifact meant even an ordinary person like Yang Tian would be untouchable!

But just when everyone thought the matter was over...

Ye Fei stepped forward, casually stroked the Black Tiger’s head, and without even glancing at Shangguan Hong, said, "Shangguan Hong, are you not going to act?"

*Shhh!*

Everyone’s eyes immediately turned toward Shangguan Hong, whose fists were clenched tightly, nearly leaping into action, yet forcibly restraining himself, along with the experts of the Shangguan Family beside him.

Shangguan Hong’s face was as dark as could be, almost seeming to drip blood—not out of rage at Ye Fei, but due to backlash from his inner energy.

He had been about to make his move just moments ago.

After all, Nu Mu Vajra had died without even utilizing any special techniques, relying instead on the defensive capabilities of his Golden Bell Shield to try and capture the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber.

In truth, his death stemmed from sheer arrogance!

Yet Black Demon’s and Hee Wuji’s respective deaths and escape spoke to their genuine inability to measure up!

Both had wielded weapons of renown and, having witnessed Nu Mu Vajra’s fate, couldn’t possibly have underestimated the situation.

Yet they were still reduced to such a state by the Black Tiger that the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber had transformed into.

What did that signify?

An absolute gap in power!

Though he hated to admit it, Shangguan Hong knew that the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber’s might had transcended the realm of ordinary magical artifacts—it had become an Immortal Weapon!

Thus, he forcibly suppressed his surging inner strength, resulting in the backlash that left him in his current predicament.

Hearing Ye Fei’s words, Shangguan Hong could only take a deep breath and say reluctantly, "Ye Fei, this time our Shangguan Family admits defeat. You may leave!"

"Leave?"

Ye Fei chuckled lightly and said, "If I’m not mistaken, the arrival of those three must have been instigated by your Shangguan Family. And now you’re admitting defeat—don’t you think it’s a bit late for that?"

"You... What do you intend to do?" Shangguan Hong’s expression changed as he shouted.

"Kill you!"

Ye Fei uttered calmly as the Black Tiger leapt once again, pouncing toward Shangguan Hong.

Ye Fei, a cultivator who repays every slight tenfold!

Throughout his journey, aside from sparing the Ye Family because of his father, Ye Fei had never once let anyone who crossed him off the hook!

As the Black Tiger charged, Shangguan Hong was overtaken by terror, frozen in place, entirely stripped of the pride and demeanor of the Shangguan Family’s top young expert.

But at the critical moment...

A figure suddenly appeared before Shangguan Hong, waving a single hand.

The Black Tiger whimpered and was sent flying backward.

Overjoyed, Shangguan Hong exclaimed, "Family Head, you’re here?"

"Hmm!"

The figure nodded slightly, standing arrogantly in place, with a white aura of inner strength enveloping his body like a suit of armor.

Family Head?

The crowd, already stunned that the unstoppable Black Tiger had been repelled, grew even more astonished hearing Shangguan Hong’s words!

Family Head? Wasn’t that the undefeated Innate Martial King, Shangguan Jingyun, the head of the Shangguan Family?

No one could have expected him to appear here!

Yet no one doubted Shangguan Hong’s claim.

Not only had this figure defeated the Black Tiger, but his body was clearly adorned by the aura of an inner-strength armor!

Inner strength outwardly manifested—Innate Martial King!

The most distinct difference between Innate and Acquired warriors is the ability to project inner strength!

Clearly, this man was undeniably a true Innate Martial King—the Shangguan Family’s head, Shangguan Jingyun!

Standing proudly, Shangguan Jingyun did not so much as glance at the Black Tiger he had repelled. Instead, he addressed Shangguan Hong and said, "Hong’er, you’ve disappointed me greatly! Against such minor creatures, you should have killed them and seized the treasure directly. What’s the point of wasting so much effort? Our Shangguan Family is the heavens—who dares defy us?"
