Chapter 2135 You, let's go together!
Chapter 2135 All of you, come at me together!
Shi Pojun, Chang Guwu, and Liu Yanqing stood in a triangular formation, facing Chen Fei and the silent, towering puppet.
Not far to their side and rear was Huang Jiugao, the vengeful demon who had just regrouped his demonic energy.
He had intended to fake his death and use illusion magic to escape the pursuit, but after faking his death, he discovered that several auras were locked onto him, and Huang Jiugao knew that his plan had failed.
At this moment, his scarlet eyes scanned back and forth between Shi Pojun and the other two, as well as Chen Fei, filled with vigilance and calculation.
Shi Pojun's deep, dark eyes, like an ancient, cold well, had narrowed at some point. His face was expressionless, but the suppressed rage and killing intent made the air within the barrier seem to freeze.
He hadn't expected that their meticulously planned ambush would fail so spectacularly at the very first step. Cao Feiyu escaped, and Chen Fei, in this unbelievable way, trapped the three of them, along with the vengeful demon, within the barrier.
"Excellent method, truly excellent method!" Liu Yanqing raised her head, her gaze piercing Chen Fei like an ice pick, the coldness in her voice almost freezing the soul.
Facing the surging killing intent from ahead, Chen Fei's expression remained as calm as a bottomless ancient well, without the slightest ripple.
He didn't even look at Liu Yanqing; his gaze merely swept over the three people in front of him before finally settling on Huang Jiugao, the vengeful demon who was observing the situation on the side.
"Hahaha! Interesting, really interesting!"
The vengeful demon Huang Jiugao suddenly let out a hoarse laugh, filled with resentment and madness. His scarlet soul fire stared intently at Chen Fei, his voice like a broken gong:
"Kid, it seems you're doomed today. These three are clearly after your life. Heh heh, how about we join forces? Or... you open the barrier, and I'll leave immediately, never getting involved in your feud, how about that?"
The vengeful demon was cunning. He noticed that Chen Fei seemed to have some strange methods, managing to temporarily trap these three powerful individuals who had caused him great losses. However, he also knew that these three were far stronger than Chen Fei, and Chen Fei alone could not withstand them.
His proposal to join forces was nothing more than an attempt to muddy the waters and then seize an opportunity to escape. In his view, Chen Fei was currently in dire straits and would grasp at any straw to save him.
"Join forces? No need."
Chen Fei didn't look at the vengeful demon, but instead looked at Shi Pojun and the other two, whose faces were gloomy, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly upward.
He raised his right hand, fingers spread, and gently beckoned to the tall, silent puppet beside him.
"Buzz!"
The array puppet, which had stood like a sculpture, suddenly burst forth with a dazzling dark golden light. Within the light, the shape of the array puppet rapidly shrank and condensed.
In an instant, a dark gold halberd, about twelve feet long, with its tip and crescent blades gleaming with a chilling light that stung even the soul, took shape.
"Clang!"
A clear, resonant sound, like a dragon's roar, rang out as the dark gold halberd sliced through the solidified air and landed precisely in Chen Fei's loosely clenched right hand.
The halberd shaft felt slightly heavy in his hand, instantly creating a mysterious resonance with the Yuan energy and divine soul within Chen Fei's body.
The moment he acquired the halberd, Chen Fei unleashed his suppressed aura without any restraint.
"boom."
A powerful, profound, and deep aura, centered on Chen Fei, swept outwards in all directions.
Mid-stage of the Tai Cang Realm! Moreover, it was at the peak of the mid-stage of the Tai Cang Realm, with an incredibly solid foundation, only one step away from the late stage. This aura was so strong that even the air within the barrier hummed under its strain, and the tiny pebbles on the ground silently turned into dust.
Chen Fei held the halberd in one hand, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground. The dark golden blade reflected a cold light under the shimmering glow of the barrier. He slightly raised his head, his calm gaze sweeping over the three people and the demon before him, each with a different expression.
Chen Fei's indifferent voice rang out again, each word striking clearly into the hearts of every opponent:
"All of you, come at me together!"
The moment the words fell, Chen Fei flicked his wrist, and the Qian Yuan Halberd emitted a deep and resounding sound. The dark golden light on the halberd blade suddenly intensified, and a chilling halberd intent that could cut through everything and was unstoppable soared into the sky, pressing down fiercely on the opponent.
"Mid-stage Tai Cang Realm?"
A look of disbelief flashed in Liu Yanqing's eyes. She turned her head sharply to look at Shi Pojun, whose face was now ashen.
“Brother Shi, didn’t you say before that this kid had only recently broken through to the early stage of the Tai Cang Realm?” The tip of the slender purple rapier in Liu Yanqing’s hand trembled slightly involuntarily.
Serious intelligence errors can be fatal in a life-or-death battle. Moreover, Chen Fei's aura at this moment is profound, refined, and seamless, seemingly approaching the peak of the mid-stage—hardly the appearance of someone who has only recently broken through.
Chang Guwu's brows furrowed deeply, forming two deep furrows.
Not long ago, during the brief standoff outside that side hall, he clearly sensed that the fluctuations in Chen Fei's aura were indeed only at the early stage of the Tai Cang Realm.
Although his cultivation was somewhat more robust than that of ordinary beginners, it was absolutely impossible for him to have reached the mid-stage. Unless… he had been disguising himself all along? But even they, two mid-stage Tai Cang Realm cultivators, couldn't see through his disguise?
Shi Pojun did not answer Liu Yanqing's question, because the shock and doubt in his heart were no less than those of Liu Yanqing and Chang Guwu.
Just a few months ago, Chen Fei was making headlines throughout the entire Danchen Sect for his struggle to compete for a sixteenth-grade low-rank spiritual material.
As a result, he has not only broken through from the initial stage to the middle stage, but is now at the peak of the middle stage of the Tai Cang Realm.
The ancient celestial ruins are filled with countless adventures, but no matter the explanation, it cannot conceal the fact that Chen Fei's growth rate has exceeded the norm, reaching a point that even makes him feel uneasy and fearful.
This child must not be allowed to live!
If we cannot nip it in the bud today, it will surely become a major threat in the future.
"Kill him with all your might, then hunt down Cao Feiyu!"
Shi Pojun shouted, his voice as if it had been pulled from a deep, icy pool, chilling to the bone.
All doubts and astonishment had to give way to absolute power and killing intent. No matter how strange Chen Fei was, he was only at the mid-stage of the Tai Cang Realm, as were the three of them, and Shi Pojun was even half a step into the late stage.
With the three of them working together, surely they can take down Chen Fei, who is of the same level? As long as they can finish the battle quickly, everything is still under control.
Before the shout had even finished, Shi Pojun had already moved.
His imposing figure left a faint afterimage in place, his true form tearing through space, charging towards Chen Fei with an indomitable momentum.
Before the person even arrived, the violent, domineering, and terrifying sword intent had already locked onto Chen Fei, causing the space around him to groan in unbearable pressure.
The heavy longsword in Shi Pojun's hand, entirely black except for a line of dark red flowing along its blade, slashed down from above as he charged forward.
There are no fancy techniques, no complicated variations, only the purest and most violent power and killing intent.
Wherever the blade passed, space was compressed and torn apart, and a jet-black blade aura appeared out of thin air, like a roaring black dragon, carrying an aura of destruction, and slashed down at Chen Fei.
The violent gale and the extremely concentrated killing intent were like an invisible millstone, threatening to crush Chen Fei's body and soul.
At the same time, Liu Yanqing's figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost.
Three zhang behind Chen Fei, the void rippled silently like water, and a tiny, almost imperceptible purple glint of light silently emerged, aiming straight for the back of Chen Fei's head.
This sword strike was timed perfectly, striking the moment when Shi Pojun's frontal assault drew all attention, delivering a fatal blow.
The sword's edge was enveloped in a purple glow, not only incredibly sharp but also imbued with a Daoist charm that could divide Yin and Yang and shatter the soul—the very same Dividing Thrust that made Liu Yanqing famous.
Chang Guwu remained silent; in other words, his attack was his best form of communication.
The moment Shi Pojun charged out with a fierce shout, his cold eyes locked onto every possible direction Chen Fei could dodge.
At the same moment that Shi Pojun's blade struck down and Liu Yanqing's slender sword thrust out, the folding fan with black jade bones in his hand silently unfolded and gently fanned in the direction of Chen Fei.
"call!"
There was no earth-shattering noise, but a strange whirlwind containing terrifying tearing power instantly formed around Chen Fei's body.
This whirlwind was no ordinary gale; within it flowed faintly dark blue-black wind blades, emitting sharp whistles that pierced the very soul. Furthermore, specks of silver-white lightning and crimson earth fire bred, intertwined, and erupted within the whirlwind.
The wind fueled the thunder and fire, and the fire borrowed the wind's power. The thunder and fire intertwined, instantly forming a tornado of wind, thunder, earth, and fire containing destructive power, completely engulfing Chen Fei's figure.
This was intended to trap Chen Fei, restricting his movements, while simultaneously using the power of wind, thunder, earth, and fire to continuously erode and wear down his protective true essence and vitality.
"Hahaha! Mid-stage Tai Cang Realm, very good, very good!"
Just as these three deadly moves descended simultaneously, sealing off all of Chen Fei's escape routes, the vengeful demon Huang Jiugao, who had been observing from the sidelines, suddenly let out a hoarse and maniacal laugh.
His crimson soul flames pulsed violently as he stared intently at the powerful Chen Fei, his voice filled with undisguised delight:
"Boy, you've been hiding your true strength well. Now we might have a chance. Let's join forces and kill these three first. I can overlook the previous unpleasantness. Their flesh and souls are yours; I only want their resentment and despair. What do you say?"
The illusory body of the vengeful demon Huang Jiugao suddenly swelled up a bit, and the pitch-black demonic energy around him surged and condensed into a ferocious bronze hammer wrapped with countless phantoms of painful faces.
His bloodshot eyes swept rapidly across the battlefield. Shi Pojun's strike was the most powerful, and a direct confrontation would be unwise. Chang Guwu's Wind, Thunder, Earth, and Fire Tornado had too large an area to easily intervene.
Only Liu Yanqing's strange and cunning sword strike, seemingly the most threatening, actually had a slightly weaker defense and power due to its pursuit of ultimate concealment and sharpness, making it the best entry point for him to disrupt the battle.
"Get out of my way, patriarch!"
Huang Jiugao grinned maliciously, and the huge bronze hammer in his hand, formed from pure resentful demonic death energy, accompanied by a mournful howl and carrying the power of shattering, slammed fiercely into the purple sword light that was piercing the back of Chen Fei's head.
He made up his mind to first help Chen Fei block this insidious attack, thus doing her a favor, while also thoroughly muddying the waters.
The murderous aura from all sides, like a net from heaven and earth, instantly engulfed Chen Fei. Any ordinary mid-stage Tai Cang Realm cultivator would likely be overwhelmed and either killed or seriously injured under such an attack.
However, Chen Fei, who was at the very center of the storm, didn't even lift his eyelids once from beginning to end.
His soul reflected the dazzling blade light, the sinister sword aura, the raging wind, thunder, and fire, and the vengeful bronze hammer that smashed towards the sword aura. All the attacks, all the killing intent, all the schemes, failed to stir even the slightest ripple in Chen Fei's heart.
"I told you, you can all come at me together!"
The indifferent voice rang out again, not loud, but with a strange penetrating power, clearly reaching the ears of every living being present.
At the same time as he spoke, a mighty roar, like a surging celestial river, resounded within Chen Fei's body. He unleashed the unparalleled power of the Devouring Heaven Divine Forging technique without reservation.
"boom!"
An indescribable, immense suction force erupted from Chen Fei's center.
It wasn't about devouring external objects, but rather frantically seizing and refining every bit of its own potential and the power contained within every inch of its flesh and blood, forcibly incorporating it into its body. Through the domineering and unparalleled path of the Devouring God Forging, it was instantly transformed into the most violent and terrifying torrent of power, which crashed into the Qian Yuan Halberd in his hand.
"Buzz!"
The Qian Yuan Halberd seemed to awaken completely from its slumber, emitting a trembling sound of extreme excitement.
The dark golden light that had been flowing like water on the halberd suddenly intensified, as if golden flames were burning on the blade.
Dark golden patterns, seemingly containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, emerged and spread from within the halberd, emanating a chilling halberd intent that suppressed the void and shattered all laws. At the tip of the halberd, a cold light flickered uncertainly, as if it wanted to pierce the sky.
Without complicated footwork or mysterious body techniques, Chen Fei simply gripped the ends of the halberd shaft with both hands, twisted his waist, and poured all his strength, surging true energy, and the soaring halberd intent into his arms.
Then, facing the roaring black blade energy coming from the front, facing the wind, thunder, earth, and fire that enveloped all directions, and facing all the attacks coming from all directions, he swept out with his halberd.
This strike was simple and unadorned.
However, at the moment the halberd was swung, the entire space within the barrier froze for a moment.
All light, all sound, all energy flow were drawn to and devoured by the terrifying power condensed on the halberd's blade. Time seemed to stretch and distort at that moment.
The dark golden halberd shadow, like an angry dragon awakening from the ancient wilderness, broke free of its restraints, roared and tore through space, sweeping out with an unstoppable force that crushed everything in its path.
"Boom!"
The first thing to collide with the halberd's shadow was Chang Guwu's all-encompassing tornado of wind, thunder, earth, and fire.
The seemingly invincible wind, thunder, earth, and fire, capable of annihilating everything, were as fragile as paper before this dark golden halberd shadow.
Where the halberd's shadow passed, the bluish-black wind blades shattered, the silvery-white lightning vanished, and the crimson earth fire dissipated. The enormous tornado couldn't even hinder the halberd's shadow for a moment before it was cleaved and crushed from head to torn into countless fireflies.
Chang Guwu's expression changed drastically. He groaned, and the light from his folding fan dimmed as his spell was broken and he suffered a backlash.
Breaking through the wind, thunder, earth, and fire, the dark gold halberd shadow continued its momentum without diminishing, its concentrated power not weakening in the slightest, directly meeting Shi Pojun's violent blade energy that cleaved down like a roaring black dragon.
"clang!"
The deafening clang of metal striking metal was like a thunderclap from the heavens exploding within the narrow barrier.
The sound waves transformed into terrifying, visible ripples, crashing wildly against the barrier, causing the entire barrier to shake violently, its light flickering erratically, as if it might shatter at any moment.
The scene that was expected—Chen Fei being cleaved in two by a single blow—did not occur.
The instant the halberd blade made contact with the sword, Shi Pojun's cold, confident expression, filled with a murderous intent, suddenly changed drastically.
He felt as if his sword energy was striking not a halberd, but a majestic, immortal, and unimaginably heavy divine mountain.
The power emanating from that halberd blade carried a savage, domineering, and terrifying will to destroy all obstacles.
"Crack!"
A faint cracking sound rang out, and Shi Pojun was shocked to see that a tiny crack had appeared on his incredibly refined, jet-black blade energy.
Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.
"boom!"
An overwhelming and unstoppable force, far exceeding his imagination, surged forth like a bursting dam, crashing down along the blade with utter ferocity.
"Boom!"
Shi Pojun's tiger's mouth split open, and blood instantly stained the hilt of his sword. His burly body involuntarily staggered backward, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground reinforced by the array.
After retreating seven or eight steps, Shi Pojun barely managed to steady himself. His blood and qi were churning, and his internal organs felt as if they had shifted, making him feel so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit blood.
"clang!"
Almost at the same time that Shi Pojun was knocked back by the halberd, another extremely ear-piercing metallic clang rang out behind Chen Fei.
That was Liu Yanqing's silent and insidious sword strike, which collided fiercely with the enormous bronze hammer that the vengeful demon Huang Jiugao brought down with the force of destruction.
The slender sword wreathed in purple lightning and the deathly bronze hammer, two completely different yet equally insidious and ruthless forces, clashed violently.
A blinding purplish-black light erupted, and a terrifying burst of energy exploded out in a ring.
Liu Yanqing groaned, feeling a cold, domineering, and venomous force travel along the thin sword, making her wrist numb and her blood surge. Her sure-kill sword strike was also deflected.
The copper hammer of the vengeful demon Huang Jiugao was also eroded by the boundary Dao rhythm contained in the slender sword, becoming much more illusory.
Chen Fei didn't even turn around to look at the thrilling battle behind him. In the instant when the Qian Yuan Halberd swept away Shi Pojun and its momentum was about to dissipate, his wrist holding the halberd shaft trembled very slightly.
The incredibly heavy Qian Yuan Halberd seemed weightless as it traced an exquisite arc, dissipating the recoil and simultaneously using the force to spin back.
Chen Fei's gaze traversed space, locking onto Shi Pojun, who had just regained his footing and whose face still bore a look of shock, and Chang Guwu, whose aura was slightly disordered due to the breaking of his spell, further away.
Finally, his gaze fell on Chang Guwu.
Chen Fei stepped forward with his left foot, taking a step forward slowly and deliberately.
The space around Chen Fei distorted slightly, and in the next instant, his figure vanished from the spot.
