Chapter 140

“I’ll risk it all!” Qi Fei gritted his teeth, channeled all his inner strength, and unleashed the “Sun and Moon Divine Skill.” Round and round bright moons and red suns floated out from his body, blocking Bai Xifeng’s sword energy. The two collided and continuously produced explosive sounds.

Before they knew it, the two had already exchanged dozens of moves.

Looking at Qi Fei below, who was flustered but composed and showed no weakness, Bai Xifeng couldn’t help but frown.

The strength he is showing now is the limit he could reach before going into seclusion. He really can’t believe that he, a Heavenly Strongman, can’t kill a Xiantian expert within a hundred moves. How is that possible?

“What kind of weird martial arts is this?” Bai Xifeng frowned as he looked at the blue moon and red sun that kept appearing on Qi Fei’s body.

Combining “The Bright Moon and the Flying Phoenix” with “The Red Sun Shines Over the World” is simply incongruous, yet it possesses an extraordinary power.

Moreover, Qi Fei’s skill was also extremely profound, far exceeding Bai Xifeng’s expectations.

In this great battle, Bai Xifeng naturally had the upper hand. The disciples of Aojian Manor around him were dazzled by the sight and kept praising Bai Xifeng’s superb martial arts skills.

Only Bai Xifeng was extremely frustrated, having failed to kill Qi Fei despite his repeated sword strikes. He snorted coldly and said in a low voice, “You’re quite good, qualified to withstand my supreme sword strike!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure floated up and began to spin in mid-air. Streams of sword energy emerged from his body, and in an instant, there were tens of thousands of sword energies. Then, these sword energies began to gather together and gradually condensed into an enormous greatsword, a golden giant sword that was ten feet long and half a foot wide!

The moment the golden giant sword appeared, ripples spread throughout the space, and the surrounding space seemed to freeze. Almost everyone, including Qi Fei, Bai Bufan, and Jiang Hailing, was frozen in place, completely unable to move!

The greatsword, tip pointing downwards, was aimed at Qi Fei’s head and fell swiftly! With this strike, Qi Fei would definitely be beheaded and cleaved in two, without exception!

“Ten Thousand Swords Return to One… I never imagined that Master’s swordsmanship had reached such a level!” Jiang Hailing murmured.

Qi Fei’s eyes widened; he could smell the scent of death!

He had heard Feng Liyao and Gu Yinzhang say that when swordsmanship reaches its highest level, one can condense a sword of qi without the aid of any sword, and its power is no less than that of a real sword. In fact, all swords can be combined into one giant sword, which is indestructible. This is the legendary “Return of Ten Thousand Swords to the Source” realm!

He could have seized the opportunity to take Bai Bufan hostage and escape, but he wanted to see how many moves he could withstand from Bai Xifeng. Unexpectedly, after fifty moves, he encountered Bai Xifeng’s ultimate skill – Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!

Qi Fei couldn’t help but feel extremely regretful.

At this moment, he had exhausted most of his internal energy. It was probably unrealistic to expect him to withstand the opponent’s “Ten Thousand Swords Return to One” attack with the remaining energy, but he had to fight to the death no matter what. “Sun and Moon United!”

At the critical moment of life and death, Qi Fei gathered all the true energy in his body and transformed it into a sun and a moon. The sun and moon merged into one and suddenly expanded, bursting out with dazzling light, like a giant red and blue egg that enveloped his entire body!

“Hmph, you fool who doesn’t know what’s good for you!”

At that moment, Bai Bufan and Jiang Hailing exchanged a glance, both seeing the mockery in each other’s eyes. They knew that Qi Fei was doomed under this sword strike!

With a crisp “crack”, the giant sword suddenly dropped down. The eggshell on Qi Fei’s body was directly cracked by the giant sword, and a phoenix and a golden crow flew out from it to resist the sword energy of the giant sword. However, the giant sword still slowly fell towards his head!

At that very moment, a sudden change occurred!

A black figure suddenly descended from the roof of the right-hand wing. The figure was extremely graceful, with a curvaceous figure that clearly indicated she was a woman. Moreover, she possessed a figure that most women could hardly match, and was most likely a stunning beauty. She was dressed in black and her face was covered by a veil, obscuring her features completely.

She moved with incredible speed, overtaking everyone in the blink of an eye, and landed beside Qi Fei. She stretched out her slender hands, and to everyone’s astonishment, a bright moon appeared in her palms, instantly transforming into the size of a millstone, and faced the giant sword!

With this powerful assistance, Qi Fei’s pressure was greatly reduced, and he was able to barely hold his own against Bai Xifeng’s giant sword.

Bai Xifeng snorted coldly, knowing that they were helpers from Kun Kingdom, but their martial arts were only at the Innate Realm, so they were obviously not Feng Liyao, which was fine.

He exerted his inner force again, and the giant sword regained the upper hand, falling downwards.

With a “crack,” the blue bricks beneath Qi Fei and the woman’s feet shattered, and fragments flew in all directions, injuring many experts from Aojian Manor, who then retreated.

Bai Bufan and Jiang Hailing wanted to help, but they knew very well that if they intervened now, Bai Xifeng would be unhappy. Did a mere “Sword Saint” really need his disciples’ help?

If word gets out, wouldn’t people laugh their heads off?

Just as Bai Xifeng’s giant sword began to descend again, suddenly, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet begin to shake. This shaking was clearly not coming from Qi Fei and the others, but from underground!

“There’s something underground!” Jiang Hailing exclaimed, noticing something amiss.

The next instant, a loud bang rang out, and a huge hole suddenly split open in the ground of the courtyard. A massive snake head emerged from it, almost larger than an average person’s head. Next came the snake’s body, thicker than an adult’s thigh. To everyone’s astonishment, a giant snake, several meters thick and long, emerged from the hole. The snake was pure white, with crystal-clear scales. It had a blue-white fleshy crest on its head, and when it opened its huge mouth, it flicked out a scarlet forked tongue. Its eyes flashed with green light, making it a terrifying sight!

“Hiss—” As soon as the snow-white giant snake appeared, it immediately displayed its powerful strength. It leaped several meters into the air and rammed its huge snake head into Bai Xifeng’s giant sword. The huge sword trembled and cracked in the middle with a “crack”.

After the impact, the giant snake retracted its head, and in the next instant, a long snake tail lashed out, still striking Bai Xifeng’s giant sword. After several such impacts, the giant sword shattered, turning into countless tiny sword energies that scattered in all directions.

From the moment the giant sword fell to the appearance of the woman in black, and then to the giant snake emerging from the ground, the entire process was incredibly fast, so fast that most people couldn’t even react in time.

The moment the giant sword shattered, Qi Fei immediately felt the pressure disappear. Seeing the arrival of his two great helpers, the woman in black and the giant snake, he was overjoyed and secretly thought he was lucky!

“Sisi!” Qi Fei recognized the giant snake at a glance as Sisi, the Earth King Snake of the Five Immortals Sect. Sisi turned her head and glanced at him, then swept her tail, sending more than a dozen disciples of the Proud Sword Manor flying.

“Walk!”

The woman in black grabbed Qi Fei, leaped into the air, and ran quickly out of the mansion. “Where do you think you’re going!”

Bai Xifeng was furious. He hadn’t been able to defeat this mere brat even after dozens of moves, and to make matters worse, two helpers suddenly appeared and tried to rescue him. How could this be allowed? If he couldn’t even hold back a brat, what would become of his reputation as the “Sword Saint”? Wouldn’t he be laughed at to death in the future?

Just as he was about to give chase, he saw a giant, snow-white snake open its blood-red mouth and bite him head-on!

“The Earth King Serpent of the Five Immortals Sect?!” Bai Xifeng gritted his teeth. Although he had never seen this snake before, he had heard of it and could easily recognize it.

With a flick of his white rainbow sword, Bai Xifeng unleashed the White Rainbow Sword Technique, thrusting his sword towards Sisi.

Sisi possesses the bloodline of an ancient mythical beast and has lived for thousands of years. She is far superior to ordinary animals and is even more cunning than humans. She would never take a direct hit. With a twist of her snake head, she nimbly evaded the opponent’s sword. Her snake body twisted and, relying on her size advantage, roamed around, occasionally swinging her tail to attack Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng exchanged a few blows with Sisi but couldn’t break free. He became agitated and couldn’t hurt her. Instead, he demolished most of the Golden Saber Sect’s mansion, leaving it in ruins.

At this moment, Qi Fei and the woman in black had already escaped the mansion. Bai Bufan and Jiang Hailing led the people of Aojian Manor to chase them to the gate, but they had already disappeared without a trace.

The two returned to the mansion, intending to report the situation to Bai Xifeng. They found him standing in the courtyard with a livid face, holding a sword in one hand, his eyes blazing with fury, as if he were about to explode at any moment.

“Master, Qi Fei has run away.”

“Useless!” Bai Xifeng coldly glanced at them. Bai Bufan looked around and asked, “Father, did the snake escape too?”

“Hmph, I’ll kill them sooner or later!” Bai Xifeng roared. “Send men to search immediately. Even if you have to turn the entire Fengzhou City upside down, find them!” “Yes!”

The woman in black dragged Qi Fei along as they ran wildly through the night, traversing streets and alleys, leaping over countless rooftops, and finally stopping when they burst into a house.

Having just fought Bai Xifeng with all his might, Qi Fei’s internal energy was completely depleted. He sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating his internal energy to recover his strength.

After a long while, Qi Fei recovered somewhat. When he opened his eyes, he saw the woman in black sitting on a chair in the room, her eyes behind her veil seemingly scrutinizing him.

Seeing that Qi Fei was awake, the woman in black said coldly, “No one will come here. You should rest well. Are you injured?”

Qi Fei shook his head, looked at her again, and said, “I thought it was Sister Fang, but the martial art you used is ‘Bright Moon Flying Phoenix,’ and your figure is better than Sister Fang’s. Your breasts and buttocks look so much like hers! Ah! Could you be my second aunt, Qi Tingqin?” He subconsciously thought of Qi Tingqin, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong. Qi Tingqin’s voice seemed to be softer than hers, not so cold.

The woman in black stood up and came to him. Without answering his question, she circled around him, saying, “Who told you to come here alone to die? Do you know how big the gap is between a Xiantian master and a Tianli expert?”

Qi Fei scratched his head and said, “I… I didn’t think too much about it… At the time, I heard Bai Xifeng having sex with a woman, and I thought it was a perfect opportunity, so I made my move…”

The woman in black said coldly, “If I had arrived even a moment later, your life would have been over.”

As she moved in front of him, Qi Fei peered through the veil into her eyes and felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn’t quite place where.

“What are you looking at?!” the woman in black snapped.

Qi Fei said somewhat displeasedly, “You’re neither my mother nor my teacher’s wife, so why are you lecturing me like this?”

The woman in black frowned and said, “I’ll teach you a lesson today!” With that, she grabbed Qi Fei and slapped him on the buttocks with a crisp “smack”.

“Ouch…” Qi Fei cried out in pain.

The woman in black slapped Qi Fei’s buttocks more than a dozen times, leaving them burning hot. Only after Qi Fei struggled free did she put one hand on her hip and say, “Do you submit?”

Qi Fei, clutching his buttocks, said, “If you keep hitting me like this, once my martial arts are restored, I’ll definitely beat your buttocks until they’re bruised and battered!”

“How dare you talk back!” The woman in black was about to step forward again.

Qi Fei quickly covered his buttocks and said, “Let’s fight somewhere else…” The woman in black grabbed his ear and said, “Will you dare to mess around again?”

“I wouldn’t dare…” Qi Fei looked up at the woman with an exceptional figure, who was significantly taller than him. “Who exactly are you?”

“You don’t recognize me? We’ve met before.”

“You’re wearing a veil, how am I supposed to know who you are…” Upon hearing this, the woman in black removed her veil.

The moment she lifted her veil, Qi Fei’s eyes lit up. In the night, a stunningly beautiful face appeared before him: clear black and white eyes, a snow-white complexion, delicate features, slightly pursed pink lips, and a cold, elegant demeanor… It was none other than Yan Youruo, whom Qi Fei had seen at the Shaoyue Sect’s marriage recruitment event. She was known as the second most beautiful woman in the world, the wife of the Sword Saint Bai Xifeng, and also one of the six top experts in the Kun Kingdom’s palace back then, and one of Qi Fei’s concubines!

“Second…Second Aunt…” Qi Fei stared wide-eyed in disbelief. “You still know how to call her Aunt,” Yan Youruo rolled her eyes at him, “You’re practically drooling.”

“Oh…” Qi Fei quickly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

Yan Youruo glanced at the tent bulging between his legs, snorted coldly, and said, “You brat, at such a young age, you’re always thinking about all sorts of nonsense. No wonder your martial arts are so bad.”

Qi Fei hurriedly replied, “My martial arts are not bad at all. I, Qi the Great Hero, am the best in the world.”

Yan Youruo was annoyed to see him spouting nonsense without saying a single serious word.

Qi Fei suddenly thought of Sisi and hoped that she had escaped danger, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

He said, “Second Aunt, why are you here? Sister Fang and the others are in a deserted village outside the city. Let’s go and meet up with them!”

“lead the way.”

Qi Fei led Yan Youruo, using his lightness skill to avoid the groups of people from Aojian Manor, and successfully left the city, returning to the deserted village outside Fengzhou City.

Seeing Qi Fei return unharmed, Feng Jianqing and Fang Huaxian both breathed a sigh of relief. Upon seeing Yan Youruo, they were both surprised, not expecting her to be here.

Several people sat down around a fire in a dilapidated house.

Fang Huaxian said to Qi Fei, “I sent Sisi out to look for you before. After Sisi came back, she told you that you had clashed with the people from Aojian Manor. It’s good that you’re alright.”

Qi Fei said, “I ran into Bai Xifeng… Is Sisi alright?” Fang Huaxian shook her head, scolded him a few times, and then looked at Yan Youruo and said, “I didn’t expect Sister Yan to arrive so early.”

Yan Youruo said, “Shortly after Bai Xifeng left, I left Aojian Manor. This clash between Dagan and Kun Kingdom will surely be the most intense in history. My second sister and I have been waiting for this day. Even if our identities are exposed, we have to participate in the war. What are the next steps?”

Fang Huaxian said, “We need to find a way to hold off Bai Xifeng and avoid a direct confrontation with him. It’s almost impossible for just the few of us to kill him. Let’s wait for news from Banyue Pass.”

Qi Fei was displeased upon hearing this: “I fought Bai Xifeng today. Although his swordsmanship is exquisite and has reached the level of ‘Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin,’ it is still a bit inferior to my mother’s. With me, my sister, Sister Fang, Sisi, and Aunt Yan, we can definitely fight Bai Xifeng to the death!”

Upon hearing this, the others stared at him wide-eyed.

Qi Fei asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?”

Kazami grabbed his ear: “Do you know what ‘killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own’ means? What kind of person is Bai Xifeng? Even if we can really kill him, at least half of the people here will die. Do you really want to go and die?”

Upon hearing this, Qi Fei broke out in a cold sweat.

Kazami Haru was right. He was really delusional. Even if the group could kill Bai Xifeng together, Qi Daxia would most likely lose his life. At that time, not only would he not be able to have sex with Feng Liyao, but he would also never see any of his beauties again.

He was so focused on how to have a romantic relationship with Feng Liyao that he ignored other factors, which can be described as being blinded by a leaf.

“I understand! I’m sorry, I was wrong…” Qi Fei quickly admitted his mistake. Fang Huaxian touched his face and smiled, “Are you hurt? Get some rest tonight.”

Qi Fei shook his head: “I wasn’t seriously injured.”

The Five Immortals Sect members had already cleared out sleeping spaces in these dilapidated houses, with many people crammed together.

Qi Fei lay alone in a corner, with a wooden plank under him and a fire nearby, the faint smell of smoke constantly wafting into his nostrils.

Qi Fei lay on the wooden plank, thinking to himself, “Should I have encouraged Sister Fang and the others to come here? If they don’t come, and Bai Xifeng and Wang Tianlong join forces, Mother will be outnumbered, and Half Moon Pass might be breached… But if we come here, we can’t go looking for trouble with Bai Xifeng. We can only stall for time and wait for Mother’s good news…” He prayed silently, hoping that good news would come from Half Moon Pass as soon as possible.
