Chapter 96: Carrying a Blade at Night

Chen Fei listened to the sounds coming from the neighboring courtyard. He used his dagger to pick up Thousand Snow Bamboo and turned to look at Chi Defeng.

“I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen it before.”

Chi Defeng looked at the Thousand Snow Bamboo in the box and frowned. “If it really is the Thousand Snow Bamboo, then its effects are indeed as he said. Moreover, this Thousand Snow Bamboo was extremely precious. Ordinary people wouldn’t even have the chance to set eyes on it.”

Chen Fei nodded and wrapped the entire box with a piece of deerskin. Chen Fei decided to ask Feng Xiupu if there were any problems with it after he returned to the sect.

At the same time, Chen Fei told Chi Defeng what had happened earlier.

“This doesn’t seem like martial arts. Do you know what it is?”Chen Fei asked in a low voice.

Whether it was Si Yinan’s illusion or Si Yuanhai’s dozen or so bizarre hands, each of them was very different from the martial arts methods he usually saw. This made Chen Fei very curious.

Chi Defeng frowned and kept recalling the contents he had read in the book. Then, his eyes lit up slightly.

“There was a type of person recorded in an ancient book. They were not born to cultivate martial arts, nor were they able to cultivate martial arts. Instead, they capture the evil beings and seal it into their bodies. The technique’s called Resisting Evil.”

“Resisting Evil?”

Chen Fei was a little shocked. The evil beings and humans were two opposite sides. As long as they touched, one side would die.

Now, there was actually someone who could capture the evilness and seal it into his body. This somewhat subverted Chen Fei’s understanding.

“Yes, Resisting Evil. However, there were many restrictions to this method. Other than the requirements of their natural physique, their lifespan was generally not long.” Chi Defeng thought for a moment and said.

“Because of the evil?”

“Yes!

II

Chi Defeng nodded and said, “That’s because they have sealed the evil within their bodies. When they are facing enemies, they will release it. Every time they use it, it places a huge burden on their bodies. Moreover, they did not cultivate martial arts and were actually just ordinary people. How could they withstand such burden?”

Chi Defeng hesitated for a moment before continuing, “I heard that in the end, those monsters will directly break through their bodies and eat their hosts.”

Chen Fei’s brows twitched slightly. This really seemed like a road of no return. However, Chen Fei thought of Si Yinan and Si Yuanhai’s condition. They didn’t look exhausted at all, especially Si Yuanhai’s age. He looked very old, but he didn’t look like he was going to collapse.

Chi Defeng also thought of the scene he had just seen and couldn’t help but smile. “What I know is all from books. Either the person who wrote the book only knows a little about it, or his ability to control ghosts has developed even better over the years.”

Chen Fei nodded and did not dwell on this issue.

Chen Fei was thinking more about how to deal with such an enemy in the future.

The other party summoned the evil to fight the enemy. In fact, it wasn’t a big deal. For example, Chen Fei still had other ways to deal with the technique that Si Yuanhai had just used.

However, the method of silently dragging someone else into the illusion was still unsolvable. Chen Fei had relied on the Clear Heart Formula in the past. Although it helped Chen Fei break out of the illusion in the end, it was too slow.

And it was obvious that Si Yinan’s methods were limited, so Chen Fei saw through her flaws. But what if it was a more powerful pract.i.tioner? Would Chen Fei be able to break it so quickly?

“This Clear Heart Formula is also about to be upgraded. I might be able to gain something when I return to the sect’s Sutra Library,” Chen Fei thought.

As night fell, the courtyard returned to silence.

Chen Fei sat cross-legged in his room, continuously circulating the Origin Connection Technique. However, unlike before, when he was fully immersed in cultivation, Chen Fei was still slightly vigilant when he knew that there was a family of Resisting Evil pract.i.tioners living next door, even if they did not show any ill intentions.

“Last time, Chi Defeng said that he encountered evil things on the way to the Immortal Cloud City. It was just that he did not know if these methods would be effective when faced with a truly evil situation.”

Chen Fei muttered in his heart. Thoughts spun in his mind, but it did not affect his cultivation of the cultivation technique.

Suddenly, Chen Fei stopped his cultivation and opened his eyes to look outside the house.

Just now, Chen Fei felt an aura flash past outside the house. It was very fast, and the aura was extremely faint. It would make people subconsciously think that it was an illusion.

Chen Fei frowned slightly. He held the long sword in his hand, opened the door, and looked outside the courtyard.

The moon was bright, and the stars were spa.r.s.e. Chen Fei’s courtyard was located in a relatively remote location in the Immortal Cloud City. The streets outside had already quietened down. Therefore, other than the chirping of insects, the entire world seemed extremely quiet.

Chen Fei walked out of the house and looked around. There was nothing unusual except for the gentle breeze of the summer night, making people sleepy.

“Boom!

II

Chen Fei staggered and fell to the ground, letting out a sound of deep sleep.

After a moment, two figures appeared in the courtyard and looked at Chen Fei, who was unconscious on the ground.

“Senior sister, he seems to be just an ordinary pill-concocting master.”

Bi Lan shot a glance at Chen Fei and used a bit of Soul Severing Incense. This junior alchemy master, who was only at the Bone Tempering realm was immediately hit. However, the Soul Severing Incense had a miraculous effect even on those in the Visceral Tempering realm, so it wasn’t strange for it to be like this.

Shi Xueqin didn’t say anything, but her gaze was fixed on Chen Fei’s side profile.

Today, at the Zhao Family Estate, Shi Xueqin felt a sense of familiarity with Chen Fei. Later on, she got someone to investigate and found out that Chen Fei was from the Primordial Sword Sect.

When she thought of the Primordial Sword Sect, Shi Xueqin thought of the person she met that night. He was also in the Bone Tempering realm, but he had almost killed her.

That was the closest Shi Xueqin had ever been to death. She had clearly treated the other party as her prey, but in the end, she had almost been killed by her prey. Shi Xueqin had a deep impression of this matter.

After so many days, the wound on her chest had not recovered. Every time she bathed and changed her dressing, Shi Xueqin could not help but grit her teeth.

“Is he his real appearance, or is he in disguise?”

Shi Xueqin turned to look at Bi Lan. She did not know the Disguise Technique and had always used a human skin mask, so she could not tell if the others had disguised themselves or not.

Bi Lan, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Her disguising skills were superb, to the point where she could pa.s.s off the real as the fake. It was clear at a glance whether others were using disguising skills or not.

“True appearance.” Bi Lan took a glance and said with a smile.

Shi Xueqin recalled the face from that night. It was completely different from the one in front of her, and there were no similarities in the body shape. However, Shi Xueqin wasn’t sure if the face she saw was real.

“Senior sister, what should we do with him now? Do we need to kidnap him and interrogate him?” Bi Lan asked.

“There’s no need to ask. Just kill him.”

Shi Xueqin shook her head and said coldly. Although she wasn’t sure if it was that person, since he was from the Primordial Sword Sect and was in the Bone Tempering realm, with so many coincidences, she should just kill him.

As for whether or not she had killed the wrong person, Shi Xueqin did not care about such things.

“,

Good!

II

Bi Lan’s face revealed a bloodthirsty smile. She flashed in front of Chen Fei and grabbed his neck. When Bi Lan killed someone, she liked that the person’s neck was broken. She liked to hear the sound of bones cracking.

Very charming!

“How can you kill people!” A crisp voice rang out. Si Yinan had appeared on the courtyard wall at some point. He looked down and said loudly.

Chen Fei, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be unconscious, almost vomited blood because of the clash of forces. Just now, he had thought that when Bi Lan got close, he would use this sword. He didn’t expect Si Yinan to actually appear.

“Where did this little girl come from? She’s so cute.”

Bi Lan’s hand that was reaching for Chen Fei’s neck paused. She raised her head to look at Si Yinan, and a sinister smile appeared on her face.

“Your smile is so bad. You’re a bad person!”

Si Yinan pouted, and her eyes shone with a dazzling silver light. Bi Lan, who was about to rush toward Si Yinan, suddenly stopped in her tracks and slowly closed her eyes.

Shi Xueqin looked at Si Yinan in surprise. Then, her eyes shone with a dazzling light. She had actually gotten to meet a Resisting Evil pract.i.tioner here.

The sect had been searching for them, but after searching the surroundings of the Immortal Cloud City, they did not find a single one. It was also a long way to go to other cities to search.

She did not expect to encounter such a surprise today.

As long as she brought this variant back to the sect, the sect would definitely reward her greatly. At that time, Shi Xueqin had no hope of breaking through the Visceral Tempering realm and becoming an expert in the Aperture Tempering realm.

The difference between refining the spirit and refining the body was like heaven and earth.

“Tsk!

II

Just as Shi Xueqin thought of this, a silver light lit up in the courtyard. Chen Fei, who had been pretending to be unconscious on the ground, had stood up and stabbed Bi Lan’s head with his sword.

Bi Lan’s eyes were tightly shut, and there was no pain on her face. She was completely immersed in the illusion.

Shi Xueqin looked at Chen Fei and narrowed her eyes slightly. It was unbelievable that she did not notice Chen Fei’s pretense just now. How could a Bone Tempering realm cultivator hide his blood essence and force so deeply?

First, it was the Resisting Evil pract.i.tioner, and then she discovered Chen Fei’s level. Surprises came one after another.

“You’re the person from that night, right?”

Shi Xueqin stared at Chen Fei. They were both good at pretending, they were both sinister, they were from the same sect, and they had the same cultivation base. With so many coincidences gathered together, it was no longer a coincidence.

“Can you control her?”

Chen Fei didn’t answer Shi Xueqin’s question. Instead, he threw the question at Si Yinan.

Bi Lan’s cultivation was not weak. She was at the peak of the Marrow Tempering realm, which was equivalent to Guo Linshan’s realm. But even so, he was killed by Chen Fei’s sword just now.

Even if Chen Fei had planned for a sneak attack, it definitely wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. However, with Si Yinan’s help, everything became simple.

“I can’t control her. She’s too strong.”

Si Yinan shook her head. “And I’ve already helped you once. I’ll just forget about what happened this afternoon. Goodbye!”

As Si Yinan spoke, she turned around and returned to her courtyard.

Chen Fei was stunned. This was considered a brat, right? How can you leave just like that? You’ve already helped me kill the other party’s people. Aren’t you afraid of others taking revenge if you leave like this?

Shi Xueqin revealed a cold smile on her face. Her figure flashed and appeared in front of Chen Fei. She swung the scimitar in her hand toward Chen Fei’s neck.

“Clang!”

With a m.u.f.fled sound, the Starry Night sword shattered. Chen Fei was. .h.i.t by a huge force and smashed into the courtyard wall and embedded in it.

“It really is you!”

When she saw the Starry Night Sword, the hatred in Shi Xueqin’s eyes exploded. Just as she was about to rush forward and kill Chen Fei, a pair of pale hands suddenly appeared and grabbed her ankles..
