Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Spare Someone Under the Knife

Silence!

A silence as still as death!

No one expected this outcome. Ever since the day the True Essence Sect attempted to target Ye Fei, the sect members never imagined anyone would die!

"How could this... how could this happen? Why is Ye Fei this powerful!" Su Miaoling screamed internally, her face drained of color, completely devoid of the pride that True Essence Sect’s cherished daughter once exuded.

As for Elder Xu, his eyes were practically bloodshot.

The deaths of those martial artists led by Ren Tianxing hardly bothered him, but Ye Fei’s slashing strike just now didn’t just cleave Ren Tianxing in two—it also took out several elders of the True Essence Sect!

These were the backbone of the True Essence Sect, but unexpectedly, so many perished just to deal with someone they had dismissed as insignificant, Ye Fei!

How could Elder Xu tolerate such a loss?

"You brat! I want you dead!"

Blood veins surged visibly in Elder Xu’s eyes, and his hands began weaving signs.

Immediately, the sky and earth began to turn pale, and the people nearby exhaled wisps of chilling white breath.

"This... this is the forbidden technique, Space Freeze, from the Ice Formation! Elder Xu is going all out!"

Seeing the surroundings change, someone shouted aloud in shock.

Hearing this, all members of the True Essence Sect inhaled sharply.

For Space Freeze was a forbidden use of Ice Formation’s frost energy, freezing the moisture within the air directly.

Once the technique is deployed, the enemy would instantly find themselves immobilized, unable to even breathe!

Indeed.

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, a thick white mist expanded rapidly from Elder Xu’s position, surging fiercely toward Ye Fei.

In a flash, a massive block of ice formed around Ye Fei, trapping his entire body inside.

"Ha!"

Seeing this, Elder Xu’s lips curled into a sly smirk as he remarked, "Boy, to make me use Space Freeze, you can die proud! But alas, you won’t hear these words from me, for your blood has now been entirely frozen by my technique. You are already dead!"

With that, Elder Xu turned around slowly, heading back toward the sect gates.

After all, the Space Freeze technique had almost completely depleted his inner strength, even slightly injuring his foundational energy. If he did not recover quickly, there might be permanent damage left behind.

But just as Elder Xu took his first step, another elder suddenly cried out in terror, "His eyes... they... his eyes!"

"What about his eyes?" Elder Xu asked, confused.

The elder pointed at Ye Fei, frozen within the block of ice, and shouted loudly, "His eyes are moving!"

"Impossible! His entire body’s blood has already been frozen by me..."

Crack!

Before Elder Xu could finish speaking, Ye Fei’s cold eyes within the ice turned to him, and he even smiled faintly. "So this is what you call a forbidden technique? Disappointing!"

Bang!

In an instant, the seemingly indestructible ice shattered into dust, and Ye Fei remained unscathed as he stood before Elder Xu.

"Demon... Monster! He’s simply a monster!"

Elder Xu trembled violently as he stared at Ye Fei.

Even his life-forfeiting attack had failed to harm Ye Fei in the slightest. At this moment, Elder Xu no longer had any idea how to deal with him.

He even began to doubt whether the True Essence Sect had made a grievous mistake this time.

"Monster? Heh, apologies, I am no demon—I am a devil!"

Ye Fei chuckled lightly as he raised the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber high once more. Though seemingly unremarkable, the blade carried an unstoppable force as it descended toward Elder Xu.

"Not good! Everyone, join forces and block this strike. We, the elders of True Essence Sect, cannot possibly fail against just one Ye Fei, can we?"

Seeing the strike fall.

Elder Xu rushed to his feet, conjuring a screen of frosty barriers, while the other elders quickly joined in with their own defenses.

A deafening roar echoed as the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber collided with the barriers created by the True Essence Sect elders. The heavens and earth quaked in response!

The clash unleashed an intense brilliance so blinding that even Su Miaoling, standing off to the side, could not keep her eyes open.

Bang!

With an explosive sound, the light finally dissipated.

Su Miaoling hastened to open her eyes, looking toward the battlefield, but the sight left her trembling uncontrollably.

There stood Ye Fei, still upright and unyielding in mid-air, while the once unbeatable elders of the True Essence Sect lay sprawled on the ground in utter disarray.

The difference in strength was undeniable!

"What an impressive Ye Fei! What an unparalleled Innate Martial King! What an invincible Magic Treasure! Ye Fei, you’ve won!"

Elder Xu slowly rose to his feet, speaking in a deep voice, "Our True Essence Sect erred this time. You may leave! From now on, our sect will no longer stand against you!"

"Leave? Cease hostility?" Ye Fei chuckled playfully, showing no sign of standing down.

"You... what more do you want? Do you truly intend to destroy the True Essence Sect?" Elder Xu roared in rage.

The True Essence Sect was renowned as a major faction in the eastern cultivation world, with formidable influence and notable allies throughout East China!

Many prominent cultivators from East China had strong ties with the True Essence Sect!

Elder Xu’s confidence amidst Ye Fei’s overwhelming strength stemmed from this network.

Even if Ye Fei was too powerful for the elders to handle, he would not rashly destroy the True Essence Sect.

After all, doing so would make him a target for everyone across the complex web of East China’s cultivation world!

Regarding today’s grudge, Elder Xu had already devised a plan.

Since the sect elders couldn’t eliminate Ye Fei, they only needed to wait for their Sect Leader to return and take him down with one sweeping strike!

The Sect Leader of the True Essence Sect was none other than the True Spirit Dharma King among magic users—a supreme master akin to the Innate Martial King among warriors!

Elder Xu was confident that once their Sect Leader acted, Ye Fei, no matter how capable, had only one path left: defeat and demise!

For the moment, stabilizing Ye Fei was of utmost importance.

But before Elder Xu could finish plotting his strategy, Ye Fei spoke indifferently, "The mere True Essence Sect? So what if I destroy it?"

"How dare you!"

Enraged by Ye Fei’s words, Elder Xu erupted instantly, only to be greeted by the descending blade of Ye Fei’s Heavenly Slash Demon Saber.

And this strike carried unfathomable power, eclipsing what had come before!

"I... I am an elder of the True Essence Sect! Killing me would mean forging an eternal vendetta with our sect! Are you truly unafraid?" Elder Xu screamed frantically.

"Mere ants, nothing more!"

Ye Fei paid no heed to Elder Xu’s threats and swung his saber directly at Elder Xu’s forehead.

Faced with the unstoppable sword light, Elder Xu howled miserably, "This is the end of me!"

"Stay your blade!"

At this moment, a commanding voice rang out from within the sect gates.

The True Spirit Dharma King, the Sect Leader of the True Essence Sect, had finally made his entrance!
