Chapter 563: Killing

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the middle stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, Zhao Chengzhong was unexpectedly beheaded with a single sword, and Ning Yanding’s cultivation was only slightly superior to Zhao Chengzhong.

The news clearly stated that this person named Chen Fei’s cultivation was only at the early stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, but now it has progressed to the middle stage, and his combat power is so exaggerated. Looking at Chen Fei’s current aura, blazing like fire, yet showing no signs of external strength, it is evident that he has activated the Three Forbidden Techniques. For the opponent, it’s not even a desperate state at all.

What kind of technique and physique is this, that can disregard the Three Forbidden Techniques? Even the geniuses among the top forces can’t achieve such a level.

How much must one temper their body to achieve this?

Last time Ning Yanding saw someone using these forbidden techniques in daily combat, it was just one technique being used.

At that time, Ning Yanding already thought it was exaggerated enough, but now he realizes that the real exaggeration is happening here.

If even Zhao Chengzhong was slain like this, what could Ning Yanding use to resist?

Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Yanding’s figure flickered and rushed into the sea.

Just moments ago, he was the hunter, chasing after Chen Fei and the other person, like a cat chasing a mouse, mocking how far Chen Fei could escape. Now Ning Yanding wished he had two extra legs to run even faster.

The spiritual essence flew out from Zhao Chengzhong’s body and entered the Qianyuan Sword.

Chen Fei swung his right hand, and Zhao Chengzhong’s body turned into ashes, while the presence of both Chen Fei and Zhao Chengzhong was completely eradicated from this place.

Chen Fei collected Zhao Chengzhong’s Qiankun Bag into his sleeve, then glanced at the spot where Ning Yanding had disappeared. With a flicker, he vanished from the spot.

Ning Yanding ran for his life, knowing that nowhere else would be safe. Only by fleeing to the side of a late Combined Aperture Tempering realm expert could he feel even a bit of security.

But Chen Fei had fled as far as possible from where late Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts might be.

Facing three late Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts on the other side, if Xu Wucheng didn’t manage to escape in time, the battle would end very quickly.

This area was close to the Sea Dominion City, nearly a hundred miles away, so with the perception of the Mountain Sea Realm, they could detect the fluctuations of battle here.

Even a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator would have some awareness.

But now, during wartime, battles happening in this sea area were not considered remarkable enough to draw the attention of the Mountain Sea Realm.

It’s not like a battle here would prompt the Mountain Sea Realm to come investigate.

The Mountain Sea Realm is indeed powerful, but not to the extent of omnipotence, so they have no way of knowing the specific situation here.

It’s precisely because of this that these insiders dare to act here without fear. With the strength they have prepared, it can generally be said to be foolproof. The ones who killed Xu Wucheng were three late Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, while the one who killed Chen Fei, the apparent early Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator, was a mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

To kill Tong Linyun, they also dispatched three mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, with no one below the mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm level among those who acted.

With such a strength several times greater than ours, it’s almost impossible for them to fail. Unless a peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm suddenly emerges, but the probability of that is too low.

Ning Yanding thought so just now, and Zhao Chengzhong naturally did too.

They didn’t take this mission seriously at all, after all, the advantage in realm was too great.

But now, Zhao Chengzhong was brought to his knees with a single move, and Ning Yanding fled like a dog with its tail between its legs.

Ning Yanding didn’t care about appearing embarrassed; he just wanted to preserve his life and report the situation back to the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators when he returned.

By then, someone would naturally deal with Chen Fei. His display of mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm strength is already quite exaggerated; he surely can’t advance to the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm now! Ning Yanding estimated the distance, not sensing any pursuers from behind. Just as he was about to relax, suddenly, a disturbance appeared ahead, and Chen Fei walked out from the void.

How could this be so fast!

When they were chasing Chen Fei before, although his agility was impressive, making it difficult for them to catch up for a while, it definitely wasn’t to this extent.

But as Ning Yanding saw the aura emanating from Chen Fei now, he suddenly realized that the kid had only displayed the cultivation of the early Combined Aperture Tempering realm before.

Apparently, the opponent hadn’t exerted full force at that time; it was only when he killed Zhao Chengzhong that he truly showed his strength.

“Spare me, I’ll tell you everything you want to know!” Ning Yanding shouted. “No need, I’ll find out for myself,” Chen Fei shook his head, and in a flash, he was already in front of Ning Yanding.

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, Ning Yanding’s eyes widened, his expression turning ferocious.

He only wanted to stay alive; why wouldn’t they give him a chance with such a humble request?

“If you want me dead, don’t expect to have it easy either!”

Ning Yanding roared loudly, and the elemental energy within him suddenly surged.

Three Forbidden Techniques?

Compared to Zhao Chengzhong, Ning Yanding not only had a higher cultivation level but also had an advantage: he had deliberately cultivated several forbidden techniques.

The reason was that he had seen that genius being able to effortlessly use one forbidden technique, which made Ning Yanding want to try it too.

In the end, Ning Yanding discovered that he did indeed differ from those geniuses; even if he only used one forbidden technique, he would suffer severe energy depletion.

And if he used it for too long, it would leave extremely serious aftereffects, possibly even leading to death.

Despite knowing the gap between himself and the geniuses, Ning Yanding still collected many forbidden techniques, hoping to find one with minimal side effects but significant power boost.

Until now, Ning Yanding hadn’t found a forbidden technique that met his requirements, but in the process, he had learned many forbidden techniques.

So, when he unleashed them now, it was the simultaneous use of three forbidden techniques.

Knowing that Chen Fei had no intention of letting him go, Ning Yanding also threw caution to the wind.

In this kind of “sink or swim” mentality, Ning Yanding suddenly realized that he had actually mastered control over the three forbidden techniques.

An unparalleled, vastly stronger power surged within Ning Yanding’s body.

His eyes lit up; with this kind of power, if not to slay Chen Fei, at least the chances of escaping greatly increased.

Moreover, with his current mastery of forbidden techniques, even if he suffered severe energy depletion afterward, or even if his cultivation could never recover, compared to his life, these consequences were trivial.

Furthermore, if he were to unleash four forbidden techniques now, could he severely wound Chen Fei, or even slay him?

♦Hum!*

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the void, and over a dozen sword lights pierced into Ning Yanding’s sea of consciousness.

Due to the use of forbidden techniques, Ning Yanding’s mind in his sea of consciousness had long been boiling.

This was a defense mechanism for the mind after using forbidden techniques; ordinary mind techniques couldn’t even shake the opponent’s mind, and attempting to use mind techniques recklessly would backfire.

Even a late Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator wouldn’t use mind techniques in such situations; it wasn’t worth the risk.

Using a stronger force directly to suppress was the better choice.

Ning Yanding was taken aback when he felt Chen Fei’s mental attack.

Those dozen sword lights couldn’t even shake his sea of consciousness, let alone harm his mind.

However, before Ning Yanding could even sneer, another dozen sword lights came forth.

After a dozen sword lights came another dozen, continuously without pause.

The mental attacks, at such a short distance, were almost instantaneous.

Ning Yanding’s boiling mind withstood around twenty or thirty sword lights, but then his sea of consciousness couldn’t help but tremble.

Almost without giving Ning Yanding time to react, in the blink of an eye, his mind was shaken and then injured.

Ning Yanding had barely managed to control the power of the three forbidden techniques, but with the trauma to his mind, the fragile balance within him was suddenly shattered.

Uncontrollable power was like a powder keg, especially when it was the force unleashed by forbidden techniques; it was more violent and harder to tame. Previously, Ning Yanding had managed to activate the three forbidden techniques through a stroke of luck, but now, with his mind out of control, the power within him hadn’t even been fully unleashed before it began to backlash against him.

Throughout, Chen Fei’s expression remained unchanged. As Ning Yanding’s elemental energy surged uncontrollably, Chen Fei thrust a sword forward. *Chi!*

The sound of fine blade piercing through flesh echoed. Ning Yanding’s body stiffened, his eyes fixed on Chen Fei, his mouth trembling slightly, his gaze filled with unwillingness.

“It shouldn’t have been like this, it shouldn’t have been like this…”

Ning Yanding murmured to himself, his body falling backward. His heart was filled with regret and incomprehension. He had successfully activated the three forbidden techniques, seeing the hope of escaping to ascend to the heavens.

But Chen Fei’s mental technique had come crashing down, directly disrupting the balance of power within him. Chen Fei’s killing of him was even easier than killing Zhao Chengzhong.

Why could Chen Fei’s mind withstand such backlash? It made no sense.

His physique was already incomprehensibly strong, his control over elemental energy was meticulous, he could use forbidden techniques without fear of backlash, and now, even his mental techniques were like this, completely unreasonable.

Ning Yanding’s incomprehension and unwillingness became like an obsession, engraved in his soul, yet there was no one to answer his questions.

Chen Fei looked at Ning Yanding falling, beginning to cast the Dream Entry Technique.

Compared to his previous encounter with Kou Yuanheng, this time, Chen Fei casting the Dream Entry Technique on Ning Yanding would be much easier.

Ning Yanding, in a desperate attempt to use the three forbidden techniques, was now backlashed. Not only was his body destroyed beyond recognition, but even his sea of consciousness was riddled with holes by the uncontrollable elemental spirit.

Thus, Chen Fei smoothly penetrated Ning Yanding’s mind with the Dream Entry Technique. Ning Yanding’s mind only showed a symbolic fluctuation before being completely blinded.

In just a short time, Chen Fei saw everything he wanted to know. Then, with a single sword strike, he completely killed Ning Yanding and turned him into ashes.

Under the Slaughter Spirit Technique, the spiritual essence in Ning Yanding’s body continued to enter the Qianyuan Sword, emitting a low hum. The auras related to Chen Fei and Ning Yanding in the surroundings were all completely eradicated.

Chen Fei retrieved Ning Yanding’s treasures and Qiankun Bag, and the third eye on his forehead opened.

After scanning the surroundings, looking for a safe route back to Sea Dominion City, Chen Fei suddenly noticed a black line among them.

After observing the area around the black line for a moment and finding that it didn’t conflict with the route back, Chen Fei thought for a moment. His figure turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot..
