Translator: 549690339

“Ye Feng, you dare to slap me?”

Xiao Fangu covered his face, his eyes filled with fury.

“Such incredible speed!” Longguai Zhenren opened his turbid eyes, filled with disbelief.

At the same level of the Element Gathering Realm, it turned out, he couldn’t predict Ye Feng’s movements, which led to Xiao Fangu receiving a resounding slap.

“This slap is for the old Sect Leader in the netherworld. As his junior brother and your Sect Master Uncle, I believe you are unworthy to be a disciple of the Misty Sect, even less worthy of being a person,” Ye Feng said as he wiped his hands with a handkerchief, a look of distaste on his face.

His sonorous voice rang out across Misty Peak like the voice of the heavens, making the expressions of the surrounding people turn serious.

In the face of great disaster, it’s every man for himself, so it wouldn’t have mattered if Xiao Fangu had deserted the Sect during a crisis.

However, he shouldn’t have taken the old Sect Leader’s relic, which was also the Misty Sect’s only Spiritual Artifact, the “Xuan Ye Flying Sword.”

Having done all that, Xiao Fangu, once he’d made his mark, even had the audacity to return to his former Sect to show off, which truly infuriated Ye Feng.

If it weren’t for the many onlookers, Ye Feng’s retaliation wouldn’t have been as simple as just slapping Xiao Fangu.

At least a hundred slaps!

“Sect Master Ye, it’s not very appropriate for you to hit our Qingyun Sect’s disciple, is it?” Longguai Zhenren stepped forward, shielding Xiao Fangu.

“What I hit was a disrespectful traitor, but I didn’t expect such a person to be a disciple of Qingyun Sect,” Ye Feng said with a smile.

The Deputy City Lord, Liu Yuzhi, Lu Shanyue, and the other six Element Gathering Realm powerhouses looked on, not intervening for the moment.

Although both are One-Star Forces, Qingyun Sect is definitely the top among equals, with a total of ten Element Gathering Realm experts including the Sect Leader, possessing great strength and not to be provoked.

“Ye Feng, don’t think that just because you’re the Chosen One you can criticize me. It’s every man for himself in the face of calamity; that’s common sense. My choice of Qingyun Sect has nothing to do with you. You’re not fit to…”

Xiao Fangu jumped out again, loudly berating him.

But with a “smack,”

Xiao Fangu was sent flying again, his other cheek swelling up to create a symmetrical face, each with the imprint of a palm.

“I don’t care if you choose another Sect, but you took the old Sect Leader’s Xuan Ye Flying Sword, and that’s something I can’t overlook. Be sensible and hand it over,” Ye Feng said, his hands clasped behind his back.

Xiao Fangu shouted angrily, “I won’t give it up!”

He then looked toward Shi Lei, Huo Yunjie, and Li Jiaojiao and sneered, “Unless one of you can take the sword from my hands.”

Huo Yunjie held back Shi Lei and Li Jiaojiao and stepped forward three steps: “Xiao Fangu, let me, your former senior brother, teach you a lesson.”

With that, he released the aura of a peak seventh-stage Qi Refinement.

Xiao Fangu was about to retort with “You’re not worthy to be my senior brother,” but before he could speak, he sensed Huo Yunjie’s aura and was taken aback.

Bai Minglu and Xi Xinyu from Qingyun Sect also showed surprise; they hadn’t expected Misty Sect to have a disciple at this level.

Longguai Zhenren, however, showed no concern: “Fangu, it’s good to fight someone of the same level, isn’t it?”

Xiao Fangu suddenly realized and smirked, “That’s right! A fight of equals. If I win, it will prove the strength of our Qingyun Sect so nobody can accuse me of bullying the weak.”

Having said that, Xiao Fangu stepped forward.

“Clear the area.”

Ye Feng commanded. Everyone immediately retreated, leaving an open space of several tens of meters in the middle.

“Huo Yunjie, you may be diligent, but you’re still not worth drawing my sword,”

Xiao Fangu said with his left hand behind his back, only stretching out his right hand.

Lin Yuyan from Yunhua Sect inexplicably felt a disgust towards Xiao Fangu when she heard his words; even she didn’t know why.

Huo Yunjie did not draw the Cold Light Sword given to him by Ye Feng. Instead, he extended his left hand and displayed the Perfect Stage of the “Iron Shield Technique”, saying, “I want to see what Spell you’ve learned at Qingyun Sect and if it can support your arrogance.”

“You’ll experience it,” Xiao Fangu’s expression turned cold as he made his right hand into a sword and chopped down from above.

A dazzling sword light was slashed out at an astonishing speed.

Huo Yunjie dared not be careless, hurriedly raising his shield to block. With a “rip,” the shield was nearly cleaved in half.

“As expected of Junior Brother Xiao, your comprehension of “Green Cloud Sword Technique” is impressive. After only a short period of practice, you’ve already reached the Perfect Stage of the first level,” Xi Xinyu said with a smile, her eyes full of admiration, and even a hint of adoration.

“So it’s the Qingyun Sect’s auxiliary cultivation method, “Green Cloud Sword Technique”.”

“Does that mean what we saw just now was Qingyun Sword Qi?”

“It’s said that this auxiliary cultivation method specializes in sword qi, making its combat power very strong. The first level perfected? That’s significantly stronger than a perfected First Grade Spell.”

“It seems Misty Sect’s Huo Yunjie is no match!”

Many sect leaders from various forces knew a bit, and just from the first exchange, they felt that Huo Yunjie’s chances of winning were not great.

“A perfected spell, that’s somewhat interesting,” Xiao Fangu’s expression grew serious.

He initially thought he could resolve Huo Yunjie with a single sword qi, but to his surprise, he had miscalculated.

“Vitality Bullet!”

Without any more words, Huo Yunjie held the shield in his left hand while pointing with his right. An air cannon blasted out, its speed not slower than the Qingyun Sword Qi.

“Qingyun Sword Qi, slash!”

Xiao Fangu split the Vitality Bullet with his sword qi, then stepped forward, lunging towards Huo Yunjie.

But Huo Yunjie conjured a breeze around his body and easily dodged the lunge. He activated “Vitality Bullet” and “Fire Cloud Palm” simultaneously.

“Your “Wind Spirit Steps” is also perfected!” Xiao Fangu finally showed a change of color, beginning to use both hands, sending out Qingyun Sword Qi to meet the Vitality Bullet and Fiery Cloud Palm.

With a “swoosh.”

Huo Yunjie suddenly disappeared from everyone’s sight, causing surprise.

The next moment, Huo Yunjie emerged from the ground, hitting Xiao Fangu in the chest with a “Vitality Bullet”. The impact caused his robe to burst open, making him spit blood and fly backwards into the air, where he hastily drew his Xuan Ye Flying Sword to ride through the air.

“So it was the First Grade Spell “Earth Escape”. You do have quite a repertoire of spells, but unfortunately, you can’t touch me while I’m up in the air,” Xiao Fangu commented, patting his slightly charred chest, eyes filled with hatred, “Now, it’s time to decide the victor!”

After speaking, Xiao Fangu formed his fingers into a sword, prepared to use overwhelming sword qi to force Huo Yunjie into kneeling and conceding.

Clang!

Huo Yunjie finally drew his Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact, the Cold Light Sword, and used “Glittering Sword Qi” to fly with his sword, confronting Xiao Fangu in mid-air.

“Good heavens, Huo Yunjie is a sword cultivator too?”

The audience had thought the great battle was about to conclude, but now it seemed that the main event of this fight had just begun.

“Do you think that just because you can ride a sword, you’re a sword cultivator? I’m going to let you know that our Qingyun Sect is the true lineage of sword cultivators!” Xiao Fangu bellowed, slashing out with sword qi from both hands.

Huo Yunjie remained silent, mainly defending with the “Iron Shield Technique” and occasionally attacking from a distance with “Vitality Bullet”.

Both were following the path of sword cultivators and dared not engage in close combat recklessly.

The sword qi of a sword cultivator is too fierce. Once in close combat, it is incredibly hard to dodge and can easily result in instant death.

Although the two did not see eye to eye, it was merely a duel, far from having to fight to the death.

For them, draining each other with long-range attacks before seeking an opportunity to defeat the enemy with a single strike was the best strategy for the duel.

Huo Yunjie and Xiao Fangu flew with their swords in mid-air, continuously dodging each other’s spells and seeking opportunities to attack, the fight evenly matched.

Overall, Huo Yunjie was at a slight disadvantage.

Seeing this, Li Jiaojiao asked with concern, “Sect Master Uncle, do you think Second Senior Brother can win?”

Ye Feng himself wasn’t sure, but he still maintained his composure, saying, “Yun Jie also has a good understanding of the Sword Dao. He can win.”
