Free Web NovelChapter 1536: Chapter 1533: Yang Fei Seizes the Opportunity to Reap
Shen Canglan paused upon hearing Yang Fei’s voice and stopped channeling combat power against Zhong Yilai.
Yang Fei flickered into view, closing the distance to Zhong Yilai with a runic instant teleportation, as a bizarre interwoven dark green and red light appeared.
A terrifying blood aura enveloped the void.
Shen Canglan’s mouth twitched.
Damn!
This kid intends to use that eerie bronze furnace to annihilate Zhong Yilai.
That won’t do.
Zhong Yilai and Zhong Weiju are Wan Daorong’s people, and Wan Daorong had instructed to only feign their deaths here, without actually killing them.
Yet, my divine sense detected two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators observing from afar; if I intervened, wouldn’t it raise their suspicions?
During the brief hesitation, Yang Fei had already activated the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace he retrieved through instant teleportation to Earth. Zhong Yilai, grievously injured by Shen Canglan, was caught off guard and swallowed by the furnace with little resistance.
"Father!"
Zhong Weiju was appalled.
According to the plan with Wan Daorong, he and his father were to pretend to strike Yang Fei, then Wan Daorong would step in and "kill" them, allowing them to escape the Southern Domain temporarily. However, as it turned out, another Divinity Transformation Realm master was aiding Yang Fei.
Zhong Weiju assumed that Wan Daorong hadn’t acted quickly enough, and his father was suppressed by the master protecting Yang Fei.
Now that Yang Fei used the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace on his father, he could keenly sense the evil and power emanating from the bronze furnace and feared his father had no hope of surviving, hence his immense terror.
Yang Fei, seizing the moment when Zhong Yilai was dazed from Shen Canglan’s attack, capitalized by unleashing a Heaven and Earth Assault, then swiftly assaulted Zhong Weiju, who stood by in alarm.
This man is the son of that Nascent Soul master. Since the Nascent Soul Stage master had just brutally attacked him, now is the perfect time to vent his anger on the son.
Zhong Weiju, possessing early-stage Core Formation cultivation, faced an insurmountable strength gap against Yang Fei, who could instant teleport through Rune Tao.
He immediately summoned a puppet demon beast.
Yet Yang Fei instant teleported past the demon beast puppet, arriving a dozen meters away from him.
Zhong Weiju was horrified. Just as he was about to evade, a silver light flashed, and a terrifying force wrenched open his Sea of Consciousness, forcefully pulling his divine soul out.
With Yang Fei’s mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, and divine sense comparable to a late-stage Core Formation expert, when he activated the Soul Binding Rope, Zhong Weiju, at early-stage Core Formation, was caught off guard and fell victim immediately. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Soul Binding Rope for soul capture, Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace to suppress the body.
Using these two heaven-defying treasures in succession, Yang Fei managed to subdue Zhong Weiju on the spot.
When Yang Fei subdued Zhong Weiju after bypassing the giant, robust demon beast puppet, the puppet beast roared furiously in Yang Fei’s direction.
A terrifying sound wave swept toward Yang Fei instantly.
Yang Fei felt his state of mind ripple, and his primordial spirit was nearly shattered by the sound wave. Despite his robust body at mid-stage Core Formation, he felt his flesh sting sharply, as if being cut by innumerable fine blades of energy from the sound waves.
Such dominance in the sound wave!
It seems even more powerful than the roar of a Heaven-devouring Divine Beast.
Most frightening of all, the sound also had potent soul-capturing effects.
For a moment, if not for the Soul Binding Rope in hand, his soul might have been shattered.
This puppet demon beast is indeed terrifyingly strong!
Startled, Yang Fei quickly used instant teleportation to escape.
The puppet demon beast, having lost its target, roared wildly at the void.
"Noisy!"
A cold voice descended from the heavens, followed by a huge golden hand slapping down hard on the puppet demon beast.
The puppet demon beast, which seemed invincible to Yang Fei, was slapped away by the golden palm, emitting a pitiful, agonizing scream.
A flash of bizarre blue-red light, and Yang Fei attacked again, taking advantage of the opportunity to swallow up the giant puppet demon beast with the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Yang Fei had resolved all threats, Shen Canglan let out a cold snort from deep within the void.
This cold snort was like the wrath of a divine spirit in the depths of the sky, with a terrifying pressure sweeping southeast for miles.
Hundreds of miles away, Xiao Yanfei and Yang Qianli, who had been spying on the scene, both quickly retreated in response to Shen Canglan’s snort.
Yet before they completely escaped the danger zone, they felt immense discomfort, as if struck on the head.
The two were frightened.
It seems we were detected by the Divinity Transformation Realm master while observing the battlefield.
They unhesitatingly crushed their Thousand-mile Divine Travel Talismans to escape, finally getting out of the area covered by the oppressive aura.
This was thanks to their rich experience. When they saw a Divinity Transformation Realm master accompanying Yang Fei, they were already on guard, readying the Thousand-mile Divine Travel Talismans for a quick escape, which indeed proved necessary.
"That was close!"
After regrouping, Yang Qianli spoke with lingering fear: "Brother Xiao, your intelligence was flawed; it almost cost us our lives."
Xiao Yanfei was equally relieved, apologizing: "I apologize, Young Brother Yang, I nearly implicated you. I truly did not expect to find a Divinity Transformation Realm master protecting him. Fortunately, I didn’t act personally but let the Zhong family handle it."
Yang Qianli replied: "In a way, it’s better now. The Zhong family has been eliminated, so there’s no worry about your identity being exposed."
Xiao Yanfei frowned, heavy-heartedly saying: "I fear it’s not that simple. That bronze furnace in Yang Fei’s possession is sinister, but it might not directly kill the Zhong family. If they survive, it complicates matters."
Yang Qianli shivered inwardly, showing some sympathy toward Xiao Yanfei.
Yet he reassured: "At the time, Zhong Yilai was barely alive, and the bronze furnace seemed capable of devouring all life force. I doubt the Zhong family can survive."
Xiao Yanfei was troubled.
As a core disciple of the Shang Qing Sect, he suspected the bronze furnace was the legendary Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace. If so, the likelihood of the Zhong family’s survival was slim.
In Piaomiao Stream, Junior Brother Wang Pengfei seemed similarly suppressed by the bronze furnace, only to be released under Master Wang Yuanxiao’s threats.
However, ever since, Junior Brother Wang had been dispirited and suffered a severe decline in realm; if not for Master’s costly interventions, he might not have survived.
With events having unfolded, further speculation was futile.
It’s best to return to the sect promptly, report back to Master and Mistress, and let them handle the fallout if any truth emerges.
"Young Brother Yang, things have changed; I must return to the sect quickly. Until we meet again."
Xiao Yanfei said with a flicker of his form, heading toward the Shang Qing Sect.
Yang Wanli’s expression shifted several times. Thinking about the formidable treasures of Yang Fei and the Zhong family being beyond his reach, he regretted the missed opportunities.
"No, I need to leave the Southern Domain and lay low, just in case this matter is pursued, and Wan Daorong realizes I planned to help Xiao Yanfei silence the witnesses, implicating me as well."
With that thought, Yang Qianli fled in another direction, deciding to temporarily distance himself from the troubles of the Southern Domain.
