One Slash Into Two

The Dragon -Scaled Fish widened its eyes, glaring at Chen Fei. It had just dodged, yet ultimately, the blade still pierced its skull.

As the thunder erupted within the Changheng Sword, the Dragon-Scaled Fish’s body trembled slightly, its breath slipping away in an instant, then dissipated completely.

With just one sword, a Monster King met its demise!

Among the three Divine Palaces, various perfected and even Great Completion level techniques, although the clones were slightly weaker in talent, they were much stronger than the average initial-stage Mountain Sea Realm.

These Monster Kings relied on their strong defenses, thinking that enduring one or two attacks from the Mountain Sea Realm wouldn’t pose any major problems.

This mindset couldn’t be said to be completely wrong, after all, over the years, they had engaged in battles with human Mountain Sea Realm warriors more than once or twice, and it had always been the same.

But precisely because of this past experience, they had fallen into a certain mindset.

Chen Fei drew his sword, and a mist of blood sprayed from the Dragon-Scaled Fish’s head, dyeing the surroundings red.

The four Monster Kings, who were rushing towards Leixie Tiger to lend support, sensed the dissipation of the Dragon-Scaled Fish’s breath, and their hearts suddenly trembled. Subconsciously, they turned their heads and caught sight of Chen Fei drawing his sword.

The Dragon-Scaled Fish died so easily? How could it die so quickly!

Before the four Monster Kings could figure it out, Chen Fei took a step forward, using the Thousand Illusions Sky Travel technique. Hundreds of clones appeared in the air, surrounding the four Monster Kings.

The rushing figures of the four Monster Kings suddenly paused, staring at the clones before them as if facing a formidable enemy.

Most of them were undoubtedly illusions, but for a moment, the four Monster Kings couldn’t discern where Chen Fei’s real body was among them.

The minds and souls of monstrous beasts, compared to human Mountain Sea Realm warriors, were too rough, and Chen Fei’s mastery of the Thousand Illusions Sky Travel had reached the Great Completion level. Even warriors of the same level would find it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, let alone these Monster Kings.

If it had been just a moment ago, facing these illusions, these Monster Kings might have charged straight ahead. The strength of their monstrous bodies was their greatest reliance.

But just now, the Dragon-Scaled Fish had already proven with its own life that the sword in the hands of this human Mountain Sea Realm warrior was far more powerful than their monstrous bodies.

A slight mistake, and the sword blade would likely pierce their skulls.

No matter how strong their bodies were, the head was always the weak point. Once pierced like that, no amount of thick defense would help.

Min Yanlu and the other two were just thinking about desperately intercepting the Monster Kings, preventing them from disturbing the battle on the other side.

In the blink of an eye, however, the Dragon-Scaled Fish was slain by a sword, followed by the surprising sight of Chen Fei’s clones single-handedly blocking the four Monster Kings, not daring to take a step beyond the bounds of the array.

From the confrontation with the eight Monster Kings just now to the present moment, two Monster Kings had died, all at the hands of Chen Fei. Throughout, the three of them felt as if they had become mere witnesses.

In a daze, Min Yanlu and his companions suddenly recalled Chen Fei’s words from earlier.

“It’s alright, we can fight!”

It was not just a matter of being able to fight; it was as if one person had surrounded eight Monster Kings. Was this still the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm? What kind of early-stage Mountain Sea Realm warrior could disregard the existence of Monster Kings like this?

On the other side, Leixie Tiger unleashed his bloodline talent, raining countless thunders upon Chen Fei.

Amidst the dazzling flashes of lightning, the crazed Kongtong Python charged towards Leixie Tiger’s back. Seeing Leixie Tiger standing before him, the Kongtong Python’s heart finally calmed slightly.

Raising its head, the Kongtong Python glanced into the distance. With the death of the Dragon-Scaled Fish, the battlefield over there had lost any advantage, and it was probably impossible for reinforcements to come over.

On this side, with the death of the Tianji Ape, the Kongtong Python had no confidence in itself and Leixie Tiger being able to surround and kill this human Mountain Sea Realm warrior.

While their strength was still sufficient, should they fight or retreat for now?

Countless thoughts flashed through the Kongtong Python’s mind. Before it could make a decision, the area enveloped by countless thunderbolts suddenly quieted down significantly.

The previously rampant and chaotic thunderbolts now seemed to be under some sort of control, exhibiting a sense of order.

“Thunderbolts are not to be used like this.”

A voice rang out, and a figure emerged from the thunderstorm, none other than Chen Fei.

Leixie Tiger’s tiger eyes widened slightly. He had already exerted all his strength with that last move.

Although Leixie Tiger understood that relying solely on this move might not be enough to slay this human Mountain Sea Realm warrior, it would definitely inflict some injury.

But now, seeing the human completely unscathed, and even the thunderbolts unleashed by his monstrous power losing their connection, a sense of absurdity crept into Leixie Tiger’s heart.

The thunderstorm around Chen Fei began to dissipate, then all flowed into the Qjanyuan Sword, the purple light on the sword’s blade swirling wildly. With just a glance, one could sense the exaggerated power emanating from the Qjanyuan Sword at this moment.

The Perfect level Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword was undoubtedly much stronger than the power completely driven by instinct, like that of Leixie Tiger.

The power unleashed by Leixie Tiger couldn’t be considered clumsy, but it indeed couldn’t compare to Chen Fei’s current state.

As Chen Fei took a step forward, his entire body turned into a blur and disappeared.

Seeing this, Leixie Tiger’s heart trembled, his fur standing on end as his wild power spread around him.

“Hiss!”

The Kongtong Python suddenly let out a loud hiss. Even without seeing it, just hearing the Kongtong Python’s voice conveyed the pain it was enduring at this moment.

Leixie Tiger suddenly turned around, just in time to see Chen Fei wielding the Qianyuan Sword, its blade slashing against the Kongtong Python’s venomous fangs.

The Kongtong Python’s fangs were the sharpest part of its body, but in the face of the Qianyuan Sword’s edge, they only hesitated for a moment before shattering in an instant.

With no obstruction from the fangs, the Qjanyuan Sword descended from the Kongtong Python’s face all the way down, the raging thunder engulfing the Kongtong Python’s entire body. By the end, the Kongtong Python was enveloped in countless flashes of lightning.

What’s even more terrifying is that the Kongtong Python’s monstrous body was now split in two. Both its flesh and internal organs were shrouded in the purple light of thunder, then dissolved piece by piece.

The massive hissing of the Kongtong Python abruptly ceased, its vertical pupils staring at Chen Fei.

It had already hidden behind Leixie Tiger, so if you have the guts, why not fight Leixie Tiger? Why keep staring at it? What’s the point?

Countless resentments accompanied the dissipation of its life force, completely engulfed by the thunder.

Chen Fei held the Qianyuan Sword, its blade pointing diagonally downwards, as he turned to look at Leixie Tiger.

Leixie Tiger’s heart trembled, extreme fear washing over it.

Since breaking through to the Monster King realm and cultivating to the point where it was just one step away from the mid-stage of the Monster King realm, Leixie Tiger had experienced countless battles over the years.

But never before had it felt such terror as it did today.

The strength displayed by this human Mountain Sea Realm warrior was too overwhelming, and what’s more, he showed no mercy whatsoever.

Clearly just in the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm, yet in the recent battle, he completely confronted them head-on, without any evasion, unlike any other human Mountain Sea Realm warrior they had encountered before.

“Boom!”

A distant explosion rang out, signaling the dissipation of another Monster King’s aura.

Despair flashed in Leixie Tiger’s eyes.

On their side, they couldn’t even defeat one opponent just now, and two of them were even slain in an instant. On the other side, there was no hope left.

How could the situation have turned out like this when they had such a significant advantage at the beginning?

If only they hadn’t accepted the Dragon-Scaled Fish’s invitation and stayed on the Middle Continent, none of this would have happened.

“Roar!”

Leixie Tiger roared to the sky, the enormous sound overpowering all other noises around. Its aura began to skyrocket, lightning flickering all over its body, even revealing its bones beneath the flesh.

Min Yanlu and the others were drawn to Leixie Tiger’s unusual behavior. At the peak of the fourth stage, there was no doubt about this level of strength, and now, fighting for its life, Leixie Tiger was even more terrifying.

“Sizzle!”

With a crackle of thunder, Leixie Tiger transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing in an instant from where it stood, fleeing straight towards the distance.

An act of desperation?

Leixie Tiger knew that even if it exhausted all its strength, it wouldn’t be able to do anything to that human Mountain Sea Realm warrior. In this situation, while it hadn’t suffered any injuries yet, of course, it would run.

To use all its strength, to exhaust all means to escape.

As the cloud follows the dragon, and the wind follows the tiger!

In Leixie Tiger’s bloodline, not only did it possess the power to control thunder, but it also controlled the power of the wind. Thus, burning its soul to escape, its speed was truly pushed to the limit.

In the blink of an eye, Leixie Tiger was already dozens of miles away. Such speed, not to mention an early-stage Mountain Sea Realm warrior, even a mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm warrior would probably struggle to catch up.

The look of despair in Leixie Tiger’s eyes dispersed. The despair it had shown just now was deliberate, meant to make these human Mountain Sea Realm warriors think it was about to fight to the death.

Taking advantage of their vigilance, it made an unexpected escape.

Feeling the human aura behind it growing farther away, Leixie Tiger couldn’t help but show a hint of satisfaction in its eyes.

However, thinking of the strength of the human Mountain Sea Realm warrior it had just encountered, Leixie Tiger’s heart sank. It was the strongest early- stage Mountain Sea Realm warrior it had ever encountered, without question.

The three Monster Kings currently besieged by Min Yanlu and the others were truly desperate.

The strongest Leixie Tiger had fled, and they also wanted to escape. But now, surrounded by human Mountain Sea Realm warriors from all directions, they had no chance at all.

If it was just Min Yanlu and the other two, they could fight desperately to break out, at most sustaining heavy injuries during the escape.

But with the addition of a clone of Chen Fei, they didn’t even have the chance to trade injury for life. With the slightest mistake, that sword blade shimmering with thunder could pierce their skulls.

Yan Xie’s huge eyes looked at Chen Fei’s clone, recognizing this human Mountain Sea Realm warrior.

Back in the Thousand Feather Alliance, one of its offspring had died, and it had specifically investigated. The residual soul aura left at the scene was no different from this human Mountain Sea Realm warrior.

Yan Xie felt immense regret. If it had known this day would come, even at the cost of exhausting its own source, it would have persevered, no matter how difficult it was, to track down and completely slay this human.

Then, there wouldn’t be such calamity today.

But unfortunately, there aren’t so many “ifs” in the world, nor are there so many regrets that can be remedied.

The Changheng Sword in Chen Fei’s clone’s hand moved, isolating Yan Xie alone, leaving the other two Monster Kings to Min Yanlu and the others.
