Everlasting Chapter 96: Confrontation (2/2)

”Where do you think you are going?!”

A malicious voice suddenly rang out from within the darkness. Next, sword beams reigned amongst the escaping miners. One after another, the escaping miners fell amidst screams of agony. By the time Chen Feng and his group could react, tens of the miners had already died and a thick scent of blood spread through the underground cavern.

”What viciousness! Is this the so-called righteous conduct of the orthodox sects?” Chen Feng sneered. With a wave of his hand, a Longevity Blade, glowing with bluish-green light, shot out from his hand to confront the flying sword reigning in the air.

Kuang!

The Longevity Blade that Chen Feng sent out was instead broken apart by the flying sword. At the same time, Four Ears dashed forward. This time, however, he failed. Despite his incredible speed, he failed to catch the opponent's flying sword and was nearly wounded by it instead.

”Tsk tsk! There is even a yao beast. Who are you fellows? You dare cause havoc in our Nine Firmaments Palace's property?” Within the darkness, the voice seemingly contained a fleeting quality which made it impossible for them to ascertain where it had come from.

Chen Feng's eyes, like the others, had become like torches as they swept the place. However, they were unable to find out where their opponent was.

”You are from Nine Firmaments Palace?” asked Ye Ziming.

”That is right, I am a disciple of Nine Firmaments Palace. You cultivators must be fed up with life. You dare s.n.a.t.c.h the property of Nine Firmaments Palace? You don't understand how to live a proper life.” The voice continued drifting through their surroundings.

”Humph! Could it be all the disciples from Nine Firmaments Palace like to play ghost?” said Chen Feng with a sneer. A soul ripple quickly spread out. At present, Chen Feng had already condensed out his Soulflame. The power of his soul could create a suppressive effect upon other Concealed stage cultivators.

As expected, after his soul ripple swept through the place, he was able to immediately ascertain the opponent's location.

”Here!” With a thought, the Overwhelming Astral Sword transformed into a beam of light once more to shoot towards a certain location.

Boom!

The mountain shook once again and pieces of rock scattered about as the Overwhelming Astral Sword blew up another large crater.

”Soulflame! You have actually condensed out your Soulflame? Not to mention, you also possess a Prized artefact on you. Who are you? Someone with a Prized artefact can never be a nameless character.” The fleeting voice continued to dart about in the darkness. Although its owner was surprised, he did not panic.

”Soulflame!” Since his strength had been exposed, Chen Feng stopped hiding it. A small clump of flames floated out from between his brows. Although the clump of flames was only the size of a thumb, the light it radiated was enough to illuminate an area with a radius of hundreds of metres. At the same time, it was constantly emitting wondrous ripples. As each ripple swept out, the surrounding darkness was chased away to reveal the ores scattered haphazardly on the ground. There were also glittering Magic crystals.

”Soulflame! Brother Chen has actually condensed out Soulflame! When did he reach this level?” Shocked, Ye Ziming and Lu Ta exchanged glances as they began speculating in secrecy.

”Here!” Chen Feng concentrated and the Soulflame floating in mid-air swiftly transformed into a stream of light. Like a sword, it shot towards one of the dark corners within the mine.

Wherever the Soulflame went, the surrounding s.p.a.ce would tremble while some of the nearby ores would quickly melt down. This was the might of the Soulflame. The heat it radiated was capable of burning everything.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

The Soulflame struck a large boulder to instantly liquefy it. At the same time, a lean-looking figure appeared before them.

It was a young fellow who appeared even younger than Chen Feng. In fact, there were still some childish features left on his face. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a youngster.

At that moment, however, Chen Feng's feeling of vigilance was at its highest. He had sensed something dangerous from this opponent.

After condensing out his Soulflame, Chen Feng's divine sense was tens of times stronger compared to before. His perception towards the world had grown clearer. That was especially true for his ability to sense and foresee danger.

The instant he saw the youngster, Chen Feng knew that this was not an easy opponent. The youngster was dangerous.

Shua!

The opponent's gaze was like a lightning bolt, breaking through s.p.a.ce to land on Chen Feng's body. Immediately, Chen Feng felt a sensation of discomfort. It felt as though this opponent could pierce right through his body and soul.

”Tsk tsk! A level 1 Concealed stage cultivator could actually condense out Soulflame? In the entire Eternal World, there are probably only a handful of such cases. Kid, which sacred place did you come from?”

The youngster from Nine Firmaments Palace could not stop himself from asking after seeing Chen Feng.

Not good, this opponent can determine my state. His cultivation base must be much higher than mine. Chen Feng was secretly shocked.

”Who am I? Go ask that question in h.e.l.l!” Chen Feng gritted his teeth. The Soulflame floating in mid-air swiftly condensed into a clump of flames before charging at the youngster from Nine Firmaments Palace.

Ye Ziming, Lu Ta and Four Ears attacked at the same time. This time, Ye Ziming attacked using a flying sword. The moment the sword flew out, it disappeared in mid-air. When it re-appeared, it was already right before the youngster.

As for Lu Ta, his body expanded by a notch. His originally muscular body became taller and bigger, much taller compared to a normal human. He displayed his Endless Sky of Turbidity move again and the iron staff flew out from his hand. Spinning rapidly, the iron staff issued out sharp air-piercing sounds. Additionally, a high temperature caused by the friction between the staff and the air spread out.

Four Ears seemingly understood that the opponent they faced this time was powerful. He dashed out at an even greater speed and was the first to arrive before the youngster.
