Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 152: A Single Sword Strike to End a Life

Chapter 152: Chapter 152: A Single Sword Strike to End a Life

"Not worthy?"

Upon hearing Ye Fei’s words, all the members of the Wu Family’s faces changed drastically.

Though they hadn’t expected Ye Fei to show some skill and kill Wu Hao in a single strike,

what was Wu Hao, after all?

Just a novice who had only been cultivating for a few months and hadn’t even stepped into the Ming energy stage!

But Black Heart Elder was at the peak of the Hua Realm, merely a step away from entering the Innate realm—a formidable expert!

For Ye Fei to speak this way about Black Heart Elder, was he looking to meet his death faster?

Black Heart Elder’s veins suddenly pulsed, his rage sharpening into a cold laugh. "Haha! Foolish child, I mocked you, but you truly believe yourself to be some peerless expert blessed with the power of the Dual Kings?"

As he spoke, Black Heart Elder brought his two fingers together and lunged straight for Ye Fei’s throat.

"You insolent brat, pay the price for your arrogance!"

Swoosh!

At Black Heart Elder’s shout, an impossibly pure purple Sword Qi emerged from his fingertips, forming a blade-like sword light half the height of a man.

Its speed was unparalleled, its sharpness absolute, slicing the air so viciously that even the sound it produced could make one wince.

"Master, be careful!" Ren Yuan exclaimed in alarm upon witnessing this.

He could tell that Black Heart Elder’s move had surpassed his level, achieving the effect of an Innate expert—the clearest sign being the external Sword Qi!

While Sword Qi wasn’t exactly inner strength, it was close enough. As a result, Black Heart Elder’s attack was guaranteed to be deadly!

Considering it measured up to Innate standards, Ren Yuan genuinely worried that Ye Fei might suffer grievous harm due to carelessness.

Just as Ren Yuan’s warning echoed, Wu Hao—clutching his chest—stood up and laughed sinisterly as he said, "Careful? You think my master’s attack can be avoided through mere caution? This strike is akin to one delivered by an Innate expert! Ye Fei is doomed!"

"Exactly, Black Heart Elder’s move is no longer within the realm of human control! Ye Fei will surely die!"

"This is the price of Ye Fei’s arrogance! Black Heart Elder may not be Innate, but he is as good as—how could a mere child dare behave so brazenly before him?"

"Whether it’s arrogance or recklessness, Ye Fei today must pay for his actions. And the price is—death!"

As these words fell, the Wu Family members all wore expressions of feral delight, as if the next second would see Ye Fei cleaved in half by Black Heart Elder’s sword light.

Black Heart Elder laughed heartily as well, "Boy, regret your actions in hell! My indestructible sword light will ensure your death is utterly painless..."

Crack!

Before Black Heart Elder could finish speaking, he nearly bit his tongue in disbelief.

Because just as the purple sword light was about to strike Ye Fei, Ye Fei casually extended one finger and flicked lightly.

In an instant, Black Heart Elder’s so-called indestructible purple sword light shattered into pieces, dispersing like stardust into the air.

"This... how is this possible? You actually broke my Purple Mist Sword Energy!"

Black Heart Elder’s face froze with shock.

After all, the Purple Mist Sword Energy was his signature technique—a strike utterly lethal under Innate standards, feared even by Innate experts who would rather avoid it!

But Ye Fei had shattered it with a mere flick of his finger—Black Heart Elder couldn’t help but question if Ye Fei’s finger was even made of flesh!

Soon, however, he smirked coldly once more and said, "I didn’t expect I had misjudged you. Your body training is impressive indeed—Golden Bell Shield? Iron Shirt Technique? Haha, but none of that matters now. If one strand of Sword Qi can’t harm you, then how about ten, or a hundred, or a thousand?"

With that, Black Heart Elder drew the long sword from his waist and began to wave it furiously.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Countless purple Sword Qi strands appeared once again, forming a dense, massive sword array around Black Heart Elder.

"Haha, no matter how strong your defenses may be, there’s no way you can withstand so much Sword Qi!"

Black Heart Elder raised his sword towards the heavens before swinging it down decisively.

Instantly, all the Sword Qi strands fused, taking the shape of a roaring purple Sword Energy Giant Dragon that surged toward Ye Fei.

At that moment, Black Heart Elder inhaled deeply, his figure slightly faltering, though his mouth curled into an icy smile.

Because this was his ultimate attack, with everything he had poured into it!

He was confident that no one could survive such a move!

"Annoying fly!"

Right then, faced with the incoming Sword Energy Dragon, Ye Fei impatiently waved his hand.

Out of nowhere, a mass of black energy appeared, instantly coalescing mid-air into an enormous palm that pressed down to the ground.

Boom!

The Sword Energy Dragon, Black Heart Elder—everything was crushed directly into the earth beneath that palm.

The Sword Energy Dragon was obliterated, and Black Heart Elder lay on the ground, coughing blood with a face full of fright.

To their horror, the situation was akin to a fly being swatted flat!

"This... how is this possible?"

Watching the once-powerful Black Heart Elder swatted down like an insignificant fly, Wu Hao and the other Wu Family members were dumbfounded, jaws agape in stupefaction.

It was precisely like that day in Binjiang, when Ye Fei’s dormant might erupted, leaving them all stunned.

Time and again, they thought they had seen through Ye Fei’s capabilities, only to have their assumptions shattered so thoroughly it left them questioning reality.

Everything they had just witnessed felt like a dream—or more fittingly, a nightmare from which they couldn’t wake.

Yet Ye Fei showed no concern for their shock or disbelief.

With a casual gesture, the lower half of the True Martial Sword Manual, which Black Heart Elder had been guarding, floated into his hand.

"Ren Yuan, take a look—this is the one, right?" Ye Fei said indifferently, tossing it to Ren Yuan without so much as a glance.

Ren Yuan caught it hurriedly, inspected it, then nodded. "Master, this is the very one!"

"Good. Shall I handle this fly, or will you?" Ye Fei asked with a faint smile, pointing at the immobilized Black Heart Elder lying on the ground.

Ren Yuan’s face showed both exhilaration and a resolute killing intent. "How could I allow him to sully Master’s hands? I’ll do it!"

With that, Ren Yuan slowly drew his sword.

Black Heart Elder, seeing this, looked desperately to Ye Fei and cried out, "You... you cannot kill me! I... I work for the Demon King Hall! Even if... even if you’re blessed with the power of the Dual Kings, provoking the Demon King Hall will bring you eternal torment!"

Ren Yuan hesitated upon hearing this, furrowing his brow and glancing at Ye Fei as if unsure.

But Ye Fei spoke with cold indifference, "If eternal torment comes my way, I’ll ensure their lives are thrown into utter chaos! Kill him!"

"Understood!"

Without waiting for Black Heart Elder to say another word, Ren Yuan plunged his sword into his throat.

Thus, a Sword Cultivator who was at the peak of the Hua Realm, just half a step away from Innate, met his end with a single strike.
