Chapter 218: So What

Translator: Draqon Boat Translator liter

On the training grounds, Chen Fei stood in place, quietly waiting for w.a.n.g Guiwu to finish demonstrating his martial prowess.

Ready?

Chen Fei looked at w.a.n.g Guiwu and asked, his demeanor calm as a gentle breeze. I’m just waiting for you to unleash your strongest technique, and then I’ll defeat you.

Chen Fei didn’t say those words out loud, but everyone watching understood his intention.

Among the disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect, there was an excited atmosphere. Some were so tense that their hairs stood on end. It had been a long time since the Primordial Sword Sect had produced a disciple of such true talent.

Facing the true transmission of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, it was crystal clear: Prepare yourself, get ready, and then we fight!

Such confidence, such elegance!

Tm going to kill you, kill you!”

w.a.n.g Guiwu roared, lifting his voice to the sky. With a step back on his right foot, he appeared in front of Chen Fei in an instant. A fierce aura engulfed him as if a burst of b.l.o.o.d.y mist exploded.

Eternity Moment!

The Thousand Origin Heart Locking Technique revolved ar high speed, in the face of w.a.n.g Guiwu’s aura, Chen Fei showed no reaction. In Chen Fei’s current world, time seemed to stand still.

Chen Fei captured every detail of w.a.n.g Guiwu’s body, including weaknesses and openings.

In combat between warriors, the most efficient approach was always to capitalize on one’s strengths and exploit the opponent’s wealmesses. Many warriors understood this principle and aspired to practice it, but it was often challenging.

Especially among peers, it was rare to witness such scenes.

When evenly matched, seizing those fleeting opportunities was difficult. Attempting to find an opponent’s vulnerabilities might leave you at a disadvantage, resulting in more harm than good.

But for Chen Fei, due to his formidable mental power and the Eternity Moment technique, he could swiftly identify the openings in his opponent’s moves.

Clang!”

The jarring clash of sword blades resonated as w.a.n.g Guiwu charged forward with fierce momentum. However, he was halted in his tracks by a single sweep of Chen Fei’s sword.

w.a.n.g Guiwu’s expression was bewildered. Despite his increased strength and the fact that Chen Fei’s attack didn’t seem much stronger than before, why was he stopped in his tracks again?

Before w.a.n.g Guiwu could comprehend, Chen Fei’s next strike was already coming down.

Clang!”

Once again, the sound of sword blades intertwining echoed. w.a.n.g Guiwu involuntarily rook a step back. The hand holding his sword was now mangled and b.l.o.o.d.y, though he couldn’t recall when it had been injured.

Aren’t you putting any effort into it?

Calmly, Chen Fei inquired, his tone reminiscent of w.a.n.g Guiwu’s earlier furious outburst.

“Ah!

w.a.n.g Guiwu roared in a frenzy, bur Chen Fei’s sword drove him back. With rage burning in his eyes, w.a.n.g Guiwu’s movements were met by Chen Fei’s relentless strikes, forcing him to retreat.

With every step, w.a.n.g Guiwu left a deep pit in the ground. However, each step failed to halt his momentum.

It’s meaningless. Your strength is far too weak!”

Chen Fei shook his head slightly. In w.a.n.g Guiwu’s almost bewildered eyes, a sword came sweeping in. w.a.n.g Guiwu desperately defended himself, but he felt his body lift off the ground.

In mid-air, w.a.n.g Guiwu felt weightless. His chest was completely numb, devoid of any sensation of pain. Yet, he remembered that his sword had clearly struck his chest moments ago.

Ehud!

The sound of a heavy impact resonated as w.a.n.g Guiwu crashed fiercely onto the ground outside the training grounds.

With the Struggle of Profound Force still circulating, w.a.n.g Guiwu struggled to rise, his eyes completely glazed. Gazing at Chen Fei from afar, a mouthful of blood surged within him, unable to be suppressed any longer. He spewed it into the air before collapsing backward onto the ground, losing consciousness entirely.

The sound of w.a.n.g Guiwu falling to the ground made the hearts of the disciples from various sects around involuntarily skip a beat. For a moment, the scene seemed somewhat tranquil.

An elder from the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect appeared by w.a.n.g Guiwu’s side, swiftly placing a pill into his mouth. Using their vital energy, the elder a.s.sisted in dissolving the pill, stabilizing w.a.n.g Guiwu’s injuries.

The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect elder looked up at Chen Fei, saying nothing. They led w.a.n.g Guiwu away from the scene.

The disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect were filled with excitement. If it weren’t for the inappropriate occasion, they might have burst out cheering loudly.

Chen Fei had returned to w.a.n.g Guiwu everything he had arrogantly dealt to Miao Daoxin moments ago, word for word. What else could be more satisfying?

The chief disciples of the Sunken Waters Pavilion and the other two sects stared at Chen Fei with serious expressions. Despite their reluctance to admit it, Chen Fei’s performance had showcased strength almost overwhelming in its dominance.

If they were to engage in a similar challenge, the outcome might not be much better than w.a.n.g Guiwu’s.

Chen Fei’s strength had indeed far exceeded theirs.

After all these years, rhe Primordial Sword Sect had unexpectedly produced a disciple of such true talent, a result no one could have foreseen.

This unforeseen outcome wasn’t just a surprise for them; it was a shock for everyone present, including the elders from the Primordial Sword Sect. While they were aware of Chen Fei’s extraordinary talent, having comprehended the Zhongyuan Sword in just a few months, they hadn’t imagined he could achieve such a level.

Chen Fei had received a true transmission technique, and yet he hadn’t even had half a year to cultivate it.

After defeating w.a.n.g Guiwu on the training grounds, Chen Fei turned calmly and looked toward the direction of the true disciples from the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. He bowed respectfully and said, “I wonder which senior brother would be willing to have a friendly match with me next?”

Dozens of true disciples from the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect turned their gazes toward Chen Fei, taken aback by his audacity. He had just finished one fight and was already challenging them consecutively.

This was typically the style of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, but seeing it now in disciples from other sects was unexpected.

The remaining top ten true disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect exchanged glances. The ninth and eighth ranked disciples seemed unnecessary to compere, as w.a.n.g Guiwu had demonstrated power exceeding their rankings.

The seventh-ranked disciple had a chance, albeit slim. The risk of being defeated by Chen Fei again was a potential embarra.s.sment they wished to avoid.

Allow me to step in. The true transmission disciple of rhe Primordial Sword Sect, hmph!”

Nie Haichun stood up, his gaze toward Chen Fei filled with coldness.

Be careful, Junior Brother Nie!” Wen Huichao offered a reminder. While he didn’t particularly like Chen Fei, he recognized Chen Fei’s immense strength. A little caution wouldn’t hurt.

Don’t worry!

Nie Haichun nodded, his figure flashing as he appeared on rhe training grounds.

Please!” Chen Fei gestured, bowing respectfully.

You better watch out!

Nie Haichun feigned concern, his figure already before Chen Fei. With a sword thrust, he aimed for Chen Fei’s face.

This sword strike seemed ordinary, far less remarkable than w.a.n.g Guiwu’s Tianyue Sword from earlier. Nie Haichun’s move appeared almost mundane, resembling the action of someone unfamiliar with martial arts.

Hmm?

Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly, and his entire body swayed. Suddenly, multiple illusory images of Chen Fei appeared around him. In the next instant, a sword tip seemed to emerge from thin air, piercing through one of the illusory images.

Huh, you managed to see through it!” Nie Haichun exclaimed in slight surprise.

At this moment, in the eyes of the observing disciples, an incredible scene unfolded. The tip of Nie Haichun’s long sword had vanished at some point, only to reappear from a different position, simultaneously striking Chen Fei.

As Nie Haichun’s words fell, one, three, five, seven sword tips simultaneously appeared around Chen Fei, all stabbing toward him.

The Astonishing Spirit Sword, it’s the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s Astonishing Spirit Sword!”

The deceptive technique that blurs reality? Are we seeing illusions?

Perhaps! Only those at the Aperture Tempering realm can perceive the truth!”

Some recognized the technique Nie Haichun was using, the core inheritance of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, the Astonishing Spirit Sword.

Distract the enemy with illusions, astonish the enemy with illusions! This Astonishing Spirit Sword was rarely practiced among the true transmission disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, and even fewer could achieve mastery.

Nie Haichun had cultivated this technique to the point where he could manipulate the vision of onlookers. This suggested that Chen Fei was currently facing a formidable mental pressure in his confrontation with Nie Haichun.

On the training grounds, Chen Fei faced the seven sword blades aimed at him without swaying. He simply advanced the Qianyuan Sword slightly, blocking one of the sword blades.

Clang!”

A resounding clash echoed as the sword blade was stopped. Chen Fei ignored the other six blades, allowing them to pa.s.s harmlessly through him, not causing a single scratch.

Nie Haichun’s figure trembled slightly as he looked at Chen Fei in astonishment.

If seeing through it once could be attributed to luck, then considering this instance as well suggested that Chen Fei truly could discern through Nie Haichun’s Astonishing Spirit Sword.

But how was this possible? Nie Haichun’s mental strength was already much stronger than an ordinary Visceral Tempering realm cultivator due to his unique experiences. Even among the pract.i.tioners of the Astonishing Spirit Sword within the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, there were very few true transmission disciples who could see through his illusions.

Is that all?” Chen Fei asked calmly.

Thinking you’ve won just because you blocked my strike? How arrogant…”

Before Nie Haichun could finish his sentence, Chen Fei suddenly darted to the right side, dozens of meters away. The Qianyuan Sword was already pitch black as it slashed forward.

Clang!”

The air seemed to distort, and a figure was thrown out, only to reveal itself as Nie Haichun upon closer inspection. The Nie Haichun who had been facing Chen Fei just moments ago was now like a bubble, dissipated into nothingness.

The onlooking disciples exclaimed in shock. It was only now that they realized that Nie Haichun’s true body had been concealed at a distance.

If they were to engage in combat with him, they’d be at Nie Haichun’s mercy.

They wouldn’t even know where Nie Haichun’s true body was located.

Everything they saw was perhaps what Nie Haichun wanted them to see.

At this thought, many shrank back involuntarily. To die without knowing how was much more terrifying than facing w.a.n.g Guiwu.

At least with w.a.n.g Guiwu, you’d know how you died, unlike in this baffling situation.

Impossible, how did you see through rhe Astonishing Spirit Sword!

Nie Haichun slid back more than ten meters before managing to dissipate the tremendous force applied by Chen Fei. Even so, his arm was still numb. What puzzled Nie Haichun even more was how he had been discovered.

Is it that difficult?

Chen Fei’s figure flashed, suddenly rushing to the edge of the training grounds. The Zhongyuan Force Field immediately blanketed the surroundings, and a figure gradually emerged. At some point, Nie Haichun had hidden his true body once again, yet Chen Fei had managed to find him.

This time, Nie Haichun looked at Chen Fei with an expression akin to seeing a ghost.

Boom!

A loud explosion rang out as Chen Fei didn’t give Nie Haichun any chance to react. His sword swept horizontally, causing Nie Haichun to cough up a mouthful of blood. He crashed outside the training grounds, rolling several times before coming to a halt.

While the injuries weren’t as severe as w.a.n.g Guiwu’s, rhe blow to his martial spirit was equally significant.

The Astonishing Spirit Sword?

Refined through constant tempering within the Strange Heart Realm, aided by the Thousand Origin Heart Locking Technique, Chen Fei wasn’t afraid of any mental techniques from his peers, even if it was rhe core inheritance of rhe Immortal Cloud Sword Sect.

So what could it achieve?
