Chapter 360 - 360: Sealing the Sea with a Single Sword

“Boom!”

The sound of the explosion echoed through the military camp as Cheng Hengzhong was sent flying, crashing through several buildings before embedding himself into a courtyard wall. Blood streamed from his mouth and nose.

With a single sword strike, he was severely wounded and on the brink of death.

Feeling Cheng Hengzhong’s rapidly declining aura, the nearby Visceral Tempering realm generals couldn’t help but hesitate in their footsteps. What kind of power was this? It had incapacitated Cheng Hengzhong with a single move.

And judging by the speed of Cheng Hengzhong’s weakening aura, without immediate treatment, he might die shortly.

Ji Zhuowen’s eyes widened slowly. Chen Fei’s display of combat skill had already astounded him earlier. However, before he could even alert Cheng Hengzhong, Chen Fei’s sword had already struck.

This one strike had thoroughly terrified Ji Zhuowen.

Under the Mountain-Sealing Sword technique, Cheng Hengzhong had been pushed to the brink of death. Within the Yashan Sect, no one could achieve such a feat, and Ji Zhuowen was no exception.

This level of brute force, bordering on the irrational, shouldn’t occur at the mid-stage aperture tempering realm.

Indeed, when Chen Fei had truly gone all out, Ji Zhuowen realized the true extent of Chen Fei’s power. At the mid-stage aperture tempering realm, his cultivation was on par with Ji Zhuowen’s, but Chen Fei’s displayed strength far surpassed his own.

It had reached a level that Ji Zhuowen couldn’t even aspire to.

Chen Fei turned his gaze towards Ji Zhuowen, causing the latter’s complexion to change. At this moment, the soldiers in the vicinity had not yet closed in, and their formation had not been established.

Having witnessed the sharpness of Chen Fei’s previous sword strike, Ji Zhuowen, now facing Chen Fei alone, although reluctant to admit it, was indeed feeling somewhat afraid.

As for the harsh words he had just uttered, Ji Zhuowen had completely forgotten about them at this moment.

Observing Ji Zhuowen’s slightly fearful expression, Chen Fei remained silent, turned, and hurried towards the outside of the military camp. Ji Zhuowen swallowed hard, standing still and not making a move.

Suddenly, several Aperture tempering realm auras appeared within Ji Zhuowen’s perception, coming from the direction of the city lord’s mansion. Judging by the positions of these auras, they were surprisingly close to this location now.

“Senior Brother Ji, have you captured the jailbreakers?” Xu Yanxin’s voice came from afar, filled with excitement.

Ji Zhuowen opened his mouth but didn’t know how to reply, keeping his eyes on Chen Fei’s retreating figure. With the combat skills that Chen Fei had displayed, he realized that trying to stop him was virtually impossible.

However, not far away, there was a figure dragging dozens of members from the Ruan family, and Ji Zhuowen believed he could intercept them. If he could block these dozens of people, Chen Fei would either have to escape on his own or be forced to engage with him.

“Brother Ji, don’t let them get away,” a voice from the distance seemed to sense Ji Zhuowen’s hesitation. Upon hearing this newcomer’s voice, Ji Zhuowen hesitated for a moment and then rapidly fired a dozen arrows from his longbow.

Like meteors, they sharply flew toward the Ruan family members.

Simultaneously, Ji Zhuowen’s figure flashed, rushing forward. Several fellow sect members were already nearby. While Chen Fei’s previous sword strike had shown immense strength, with some careful strategy and brief entanglement, Ji Zhuowen still had some confidence.

When everyone converged on him, Chen Fei wouldn’t be able to escape, even if he had three heads and six arms.

The black sword pearl gleamed as it shattered the arrows in mid-air. Chen Fei turned to look at Ji Zhuowen, who was charging towards him, squinting his eyes slightly.

Did they really have to force him to kill?

Chen Fei naturally sensed the Aperture tempering realm auras not far away. However, there was no aura of the late Aperture tempering realm among them, but there were two at the mid-stage Aperture tempering realm.

“Leave those people behind, or no one will be able to leave here!” Ji Zhuowen shouted sternly as he stared at Chen Fei.

The Ruan family members around Chen Fei had already shown relief on their faces, but with Ji Zhuowen’s words and the intentionally displayed Aperture tempering realm auras in the distance, their hopes were dashed.

Facing so many Aperture tempering realm cultivators, it was a case of being outnumbered and outgunned. It seemed inevitable for Chen Fei to abandon them, or else he would risk getting himself killed.

The Ruan family members had never hoped that an Aperture tempering realm cultivator would sacrifice himself to save them. It was an unrealistic expectation. If they were in Chen Fei’s shoes, they wouldn’t be able to do such a thing either.

A bitter expression covered Chu Wennian’s face. He had initially thought that they could escape and both he and his granddaughter would survive. He didn’t expect this to be the outcome in the end.

Why was life so bitter?

“Are you suggesting that you’re tired of living?” Chen Fei’s main self looked at Ji Zhuowen and said coldly.

“Even though you’re strong, there are more than just the two of us here.”

Ji Zhuowen listened to Chen Fei’s words, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes as he sneered. If it were just him alone, he wouldn’t dare to stop Chen Fei in the slightest, as was evident from what happened earlier.

But now, his fellow disciples were coming from afar, and they were only here to block Chen Fei for a moment.

“Is that so?”

As Chen Fei’s words fell, he activated his Soaring Heaven Technique to the extreme, and his figure suddenly disappeared, as if he had teleported, appearing right in front of Ji Zhuowen.

Seeing Chen Fei’s figure disappear, Ji Zhuowen’s heart trembled. With his vision, all he could see was a blurred figure approaching. This kind of speed, even stronger than what Chen Fei had shown earlier, was what Chen Fei should have in terms of speed. However, how could there be such speed in the mid-stage Aperture tempering realm? Just like the strength Chen Fei displayed earlier, it was difficult to imagine in the mid-stage Aperture tempering realm.

With this kind of speed, this kind of strength, Ji Zhuowen couldn’t help but doubt if Chen Fei was a late Aperture tempering realm powerhouse.

Ji Zhuowen’s original plan was to engage in a protracted battle, using distance to entangle Chen Fei and prevent him from escaping at full speed. However, upon seeing Chen Fei’s current speed, the idea of distance became a joke, and entanglement also became a joke.

Seal the Sea with a Sword!

Ji Zhuowen took a deep breath, and his entire body’s essence surged, flowing endlessly within his body. It was somewhat similar to the technique used by Cheng Hengzhong earlier, but evidently more refined.

Sea-Sealing Sword was an advanced cultivation technique built upon the foundation of Mountain-Sealing Sword, taking it one step further. The final move in this technique was called “Sky-Sealing Sword.”

Seal the Sky with a Sword. What an audacious idea! But if one could truly master it, the defensive power it possessed would be unparalleled.

Not only did this technique excel in defense, but it also had exceptional offensive power when used to the fullest.

Chen Fei had a similar concept in his Starry Night Sword and Thorn Sword techniques when he practiced them in the Body Refining Realm. Of course, compared to these three sword techniques of the Yashan Sect, there was no doubt a significant gap, and they couldn’t be compared on many levels.

As Ji Zhuowen’s sword technique unfolded, a tremendous aura like surging waves spread out. Ji Zhuowen’s expression became solemn, and the surrounding elemental energy fluctuated. A tremendous force surged continuously, like a turbulent wave.

Chen Fei’s hair flew backward as he disregarded the oppressive pressure, and he thrust his Qianyuan Sword forward.

It felt like piercing into thick, dense seawater, and the tremendous force was involuntarily reduced as the sword tip went deeper. The deeper the sword tip penetrated, the more pronounced this sensation became.

“Roar!”

A sound resembling the roar of a dragon and an elephant burst from within Chen Fei’s body. The sword element wall blocking in front of Chen Fei immediately fluctuated, forcefully pushed aside by an immense force.

Ji Zhuowen’s eyes widened slowly, and his elemental energy continued to boil. The veins on his forehead were on the verge of bursting as he struggled to dissipate the tremendous force on the Qianyuan Sword.

However, no matter how hard Ji Zhuowen tried, he could only watch helplessly as the sword tip of the Qianyuan Sword pierced inward. The black ripples on the Qianyuan Sword seemed to contain a raging and immense power.

In the face of this power, the Sea-Sealing Sword technique had become almost laughable.

Unstoppable and powerless to resist.

“Boom!”

The Sea-Sealing Sword was completely shattered, and Ji Zhuowen spewed out a mist of blood into the air. His face turned pale, and his elemental energy went into instant turmoil and lost control. Ji Zhuowen felt every bone and muscle in his body being continuously crushed by an overwhelming force.

He wanted to adjust, but he didn’t know where to begin. At this moment, Ji Zhuowen lost all his power to resist.

Terror filled Ji Zhuowen’s eyes. He knew he was not as strong as Chen Fei, and he had considered that he might fall into a disadvantage within a few moves. However, Ji Zhuowen had never imagined that after using the Sea-Sealing Sword, he would be defeated in a single move.

This was the proud heritage of the Yashan Sect’s cultivation techniques, but now, in front of Chen Fei, it seemed like a joke.

Vulnerable to a single blow!

“Stop!”

An urgent shout came from a distance. Chen Fei turned to look and found it was Liang Zhongpu, the elder of the Yashan Sect whom he had a chance encounter with outside Shang Wu City.

And beside Liang Zhongpu, apart from Xu Yanxin, there was someone unexpected – Hong Yuanfeng from the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.

In Apricot Fen City, this elder from the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had shown a hint of killing intent towards Chen Fei. Unexpectedly, they would meet again in Qinhai City today.

Chen Fei’s expression suddenly changed slightly as he connected the dots with the information he had gathered today. He suddenly realized that this was a trap set by Hong Yuanfeng in collusion with the Yashan Sect, using the Ruans as bait to lure him out.

It would be best if Chen Fei appeared himself. Even if he didn’t, they wouldn’t suffer any losses. This seemed more like a spontaneous decision by Hong Yuanfeng, a temporary trap.

As for why the Yashan Sect was willing to cooperate, with the personal persuasion of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect elder, they naturally had to give face. Besides, there had been some grievances between Chen Fei and the Yashan Sect back when they were outside Shang Wu City.

A well-coordinated plan!

Chen Fei’s identity, when connected with the information available in Qinhai City, could lead to a reasonable deduction.

This was a scheme specifically targeting Chen Fei. The Ruans were lured into this because of their acquaintance with Chen Fei, turning them into bait.

Was it unfair? Certainly. But in this world, sometimes things didn’t make sense.

Strength was the only way to avoid such situations and overcome them.

“Brother Ji is a friend of our Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. Chen Fei, don’t make a mistake!” Hong Yuanfeng threatened with a cold and stern expression as he saw the situation unfold.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, despite the complex situation surrounding Immortal Cloud City, was still one of the top three sects. A junior like Primordial Sword Sect is just a member of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s alliance. How could he dare to rebel?

A faint smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face, a feeling reminiscent of when he killed Hong Yuanfeng’s disciple Shen Dingyan years ago. However, back then, Chen Fei was powerless to resist. But now, Hong Yuanfeng’s cultivation remained the same, while Chen Fei had already advanced from the bone tempering realm to the mid-stage aperture tempering realm.

“Tsk!”

The Qianyuan Sword flipped in the air, and in Ji Zhuowen’s horrified gaze, it swept across his neck, blood splattering..
