The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 231: I Just Used One-Tenth of My Strength
This sudden explosion stunned everyone.

All turned to look in the direction of the sound, only to see Qingyun Zhenren holding the Qingyun Sword, suspended in midair, with the table in front of him overturned.

Ye Feng, who was holding chopsticks, noticed that the last piece of braised pork in his plate had vanished without a trace. Only upon scanning the room did he realize that the table was gone!

“I haven’t even finished eating!”

Ye Feng’s mouth twitched as he looked up at the furiously dancing Qingyun Zhenren.

Flipping the table during a meal, are you impersonating a crow?

“Element Gathering Realm Seventh Level?” Elder Hongmeng spoke up, drawing the attention of everyone present.

The Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect, Yunhua Zhenren, the City Lord of Sanyuan City, and others all focused on Qingyun Zhenren. With a sweep of their spiritual sense, they indeed sensed that he had broken through to the seventh level of the Element Gathering Realm.

“He actually broke through!”

The blow to the Liuyun Sect Leader was the most severe.

In the past, both he and Qingyun Zhenren stood at the sixth level of the Element Gathering Realm, though one was at the peak and the other had just entered, the difference in strength was not significant.

But now it was different.

Having advanced to the seventh level of the Element Gathering Realm, Qingyun Zhenren, combined with the middle-grade Qingyun Sword, certainly had the strength to rival the eighth or even ninth levels of the Element Gathering Realm.

Such strength now placed him above the rest.

“It’s over! From now on, this Sect Leader will undoubtedly be targeted by Qingyun Zhenren,” the Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect swallowed nervously, finding today’s meal to have lost its taste.

The expressions of other sect leaders weren’t looking good either.

Qingyun Zhenren was infamous for his pettiness, and now with the breakthrough in strength, he could dominate them all, and likely he would target them.

Disciples and Sect Leaders from other sects were also filled with alarm.

Only the elders and disciples of Qingyun Sect cheered loudly, feeling an air of exultation, wishing they could run around the world announcing that their Sect Leader had broken through.

“Hehehe…”

After taking a deep breath, Qingyun Zhenren suddenly let out a sinister laugh, feeling his strength double. He gave Ye Feng a crooked smile.

“Ye Feng, for all the old and recent grudges, today I shall settle them with you!” Qingyun Zhenren declared thunderously, his voice echoing throughout the venue.

Ye Feng’s hand trembled slightly as he held the chopsticks. “I recognize the old grudges, but where did any recent grudges come from?”

“If I say there are, then there are!” Qingyun Zhenren roared like thunder, “Ye Feng, I challenge you to a duel today, do you dare to accept?”

Ye Feng put down his chopsticks.

“What if I win? Is there a prize?”

The nose of Qingyun Zhenren nearly bent out of shape from anger as he retorted, “Win against me? With your strength? Let me tell you straight, with the Qingyun Sword now in my possession and my rise to the seventh level of the Element Gathering Realm, defeating you would be as easy as flipping my hand!”

Ye Feng cleaned his ear: “So, in the end, there’s no prize.”

Upon hearing this, Qingyun Zhenren almost choked with rage on the spot.

“If you win, this special middle-grade mineral ‘Qingyun Jade’ will be yours, hehe! But if you lose, you’ll obediently let the City Lord’s Mansion of Whitefloat grant Hardwood Plains to Nanwu City.”

Qingyun Zhenren lowered his voice, obviously not wanting too many people to overhear this.

At the same time, he raised his hand, revealing a piece of green jade in his palm.

“Hiss! It’s Qingyun Jade, said to be one of the main materials for refining special spiritual artifacts. Though it looks small, it’s worth thirty middle-grade spirit stones.”

“Sect Master Ye, don’t bet!”

“Indeed, Qingyun Zhenren has just broken through, and his strength is tremendous, you might not be able to match him!”

Fellow Sect Leaders at the table quickly advised him against it.

“I agree.” Ye Feng consented, his body slowly lifting into the air. With a wave of his hand, a white bone longsword appeared before him, glinting brilliantly under the sunlight.

“Oh, it turns out to be a middle-grade spiritual artifact as well. Unfortunately, your middle-grade spiritual artifact is nothing compared to my Qingyun Sword and not even worth mentioning,” Qingyun Zhenren proclaimed leisurely.

Even until now, he was unaware that the Qingyun Sword was refined by Ye Feng.

…

The news of the grand battle between Qingyun Zhenren and Ye Feng took everyone by surprise.

But those cultivators from Whitefloat City were quite calm, especially the disciples of the Misty Sect, who kept eating, completely unfazed.

Ever since they had witnessed Ye Feng furiously slay the Twin-winged Evil Dragon, the disciples believed that Ye Feng possessed at least a fraction of the Spirit Sea Realm’s strength. Facing Qingyun Zhenren would surely pose no problem for him.

Tens of miles away.

A desolate land.

Ye Feng and Qingyun Zhenren stood facing each other across the empty space.

The others stood on nearby mountains to watch the battle, not daring to get too close.

“Who do you think will win this battle?”

“Qingyun Zhenren has just broken through to the seventh level of the Element Gathering Realm, and he has the Qingyun Sword, worth eight thousand Spirit Stones, the odds are definitely in his favor, right?”

“Sect Master Ye is just unlucky to have encountered such a terrifying opponent.”

The Sect Masters of the major forces murmured.

“Ye Feng, don’t think your special techniques will work on me. Let me tell you the truth, times have changed. Even if I let you make the first move, you won’t be able to break through my defense. If you don’t believe it, then try!”

With one hand behind his back, Qingyun Zhenren grasped the Qingyun Sword with the other hand and quietly circulated the auxiliary Cultivation Method “Green Cloud Sword Technique”, as his sword energy suddenly surged to its peak.

“Then let’s give it a try.”

Ye Feng took out the Wind Spirit Pearl.

Whoosh!

A thread of Wind Element Spirit Energy transformed into a light rope, attempting to entangle Qingyun Zhenren, but when it got within ten meters of him, it was severed by a terrible sword light and both dissipated simultaneously.

“Hahaha…”

Wielding the Qingyun Sword, Qingyun Zhenren laughed proudly, “I told you, your technique is ineffective against me now. Next, face my sword!”

Rip!

A dazzling cyan sword light was unleashed with incredible speed, reaching Ye Feng in an instant.

Clang!

Ye Feng, holding a white bone sword, divided it into nine sword lights, crushing Qingyun Zhenren’s sword energy, and the two were evenly matched.

“How is this possible?” the crowd was shocked.

Even Qingyun Zhenren’s eyes widened as he said, “Incredible, there actually exists a weapon in this world nearly as powerful as the Qingyun Sword, a middle-grade Spiritual Artifact. It seems that in the Southern River Basin, a top-tier Artifact Refiner has been born. Otherwise, such high-quality Spiritual Artifacts would not keep appearing one after another.”

Having said that, Qingyun Zhenren suddenly made his move.

This time, forty-nine strands of sword energy crisscrossed the sky, forming a net that enveloped Ye Feng, its might several times greater than the previous sword energies.

“Bring it on!”

Ye Feng reached out with his left hand and grabbed a second white bone sword.

With the twin swords united, an unmatched sword light shot into the sky, wrapping around Ye Feng as he tore through Qingyun Zhenren’s sword net, hovering high in the air, his robes fluttering loudly.

“What, there’s a second white bone sword?”

“Judging by the aura, this seems to be a complete set of Spiritual Artifacts.”

“Sect Master Ye is really lucky to have obtained such treasures. Combined, the twin swords are definitely not inferior to the Qingyun Sword.”

The various Sect Masters exclaimed in amazement.

Qingyun Zhenren’s eyes nearly popped out of his sockets, looking at his Qingyun Sword, suddenly finding it far less appealing.

“Face my sword, Qingyun Sword Cascade!”

Refusing to concede, Qingyun Zhenren performed hand seals, and the Qingyun Sword transformed into a terrifying sword light like an inverted waterfall, rolling towards Ye Feng.

“Triple swords united!”

Ye Feng took out a third white bone sword, crossing the three longswords to form a giant sword, devouring the surrounding spiritual energy, cleaving through the Qingyun Sword Cascade.

“Holy shit!” everyone was once again astounded.

Ye Feng actually had a third white bone sword!

“Could it be that this White Bone Sword Array consists of more than just three swords, possibly four or even more than five?”

“An entire Sword Array made of middle-grade Spirit Swords, its power is no less than that of an upper-grade Spiritual Artifact. The Misty Sect’s resources must be incredibly profound to be able to afford such a powerful Sword Array. Admirable!”

The various Sect Masters were nearly envious to tears.

Atop a high peak,

Elder Hongmeng gazed at the three white bone swords floating in front of Ye Feng, his eyes flickering uncertainly, and said in a deep voice, “Could it be that this Sword Array was gifted by the Alliance Leader of the Myriad Islands?”

In the sky,

Qingyun Zhenren clutched the trembling Qingyun Sword, his eyelids jumping wildly, roaring, “Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could the Misty Sect afford such powerful Spiritual Artifacts? It can’t be real!”

“True or false, you’ll know at a glance!” In front of everyone’s shocked gazes, Ye Feng released another six white bone swords, totaling nine.

The terrifying aura, as vast as mountains and oceans, suddenly erupted, shaking the heavens and the earth, causing all spirits to tremble in fear.

Even the sky itself dimmed.

“Sorry, before I was only using one-tenth of my power. Now, this is the true might of the White Bone Sword Array!”

Ye Feng said indifferently.

The next moment, he pointed at Qingyun Zhenren from afar.
