Chapter 458: Successive Fights (1/2)
As Chen Feng was distracted, the flaming sword’s power began weakening. The red-haired youngster quickly made use of the opportunity. With a shout, flames swirled out around his body and the two large fire palms merged as one, becoming an even more condensed palm silhouette. With a grasping motion, it caught Chen Feng’s flaming sword.
“Good! This Prized artefact is now mine!” The red-haired youngster felt overjoyed.
Although the flaming sword was snatched, Chen Feng did not feel worried. Instead, he continued to display the Longevity Sword Technique to kill off the other cultivators. He had been spending the past few days cultivating before the meteorite, fighting against the meteorite’s sword intent every day. Thus, his swordsmanship had improved considerably. At that very moment, the Fire Wyrm Sword in Chen Feng’s hand was unleashing rays of sword light, reaping the lives of cultivators in its path.
There were originally close to 20 cultivators with the red-haired youngster. At that very moment, however, Chen Feng’s act of slaughter had reduced their number to only seven or eight. These survivors were fleeing in various directions.
“Kid, you dare offend our Holy Flame Sect? You’re a dead man!” Seeing that, the red-haired youngster grew enraged. He had only just wanted to collect the flaming sword when he saw an even more powerful fiery-red sword unleash a blazing beam towards him.
“No! It’s a high-grade Prized artefact!”
Shua!
The Fire Wyrm Sword swiftly slashed down, slicing the fire palm silhouette apart. Next, Chen Feng waved his hand and his flaming sword transformed into a stream of light, which shot towards the red-haired youngster. At the same time, the Fire Wyrm Sword transformed into the shape of a fiery-red wyrm, which opened its mouth to exert a suction force upon the red-haired youngster.
“Wicked Poisonflame Dragonspear!” In the face of this attack, the red-haired youngster finally displayed his strongest move. A black spear, engraved with the picture of an aggressively majestic wyrm, appeared in his grasp. Fiery luminescence undulated without cease from the tip of the spear. It was as though there was a wicked wyrm swallowing a dragon pearl. The red-haired youngster swung the black spear and it transformed into a wyrm while releasing a roar.
“Eh, a high-grade Prized artefact? There must be a wyrm sealed inside the spear. However, it is not as strong as my Fire Wyrm Sword.” Chen Feng collected his flaming sword and focused instead on empowering the Fire Wyrm Sword to fight the red-haired youngster. Two flaming wyrms fought between Chen Feng and the red-haired youngster, tearing at one another. Instantly, dust rose and rocks scattered about even as the lands began cracking. It was a very ferocious battle. Originally, the red-haired youngster’s companions had wanted to rush forward to help. At that moment, however, they were all running as far away as they could in fear of getting hit by the resulting shockwaves.
“Ha ha ha! It is so lively here! It turns out Wicked Gentleman Du Huo is fighting someone!”
“Young Master Du Huo, you look like you are in trouble. Do you want me to help?”
As Chen Feng and the red-haired youngster were fighting, more cultivators came. Additionally, it seemed as though there were some grudges between the red-haired youngster and the newcomers. The newcomers watched the fight while pointing with their fingers.
“Humph! We’ll end it here, kid. I will be settling this account with you next time.” Wicked Gentleman Du Huo kept his spear and swiftly backed away, putting some distance between himself and Chen Feng. Clearly, he was wary of Chen Feng.
“Ha ha ha ha! What a joke! If we continue this fight, I will definitely end up killing you.” Chen Feng laughed loudly.
“You!” Wicked Gentleman Du Huo’s face sank. However, he suppressed his emotions. Turning, he then flew far away.
“Ha ha ha! So, Wicked Gentleman Du Huo is actually such a coward. He was actually scared away.” The spectating newcomers uttered words of ridicule.
“Wan Xie, Huo Sheng, you fellows are provoking me!” Hearing those words, Wicked Gentleman Du Huo, who had gotten far away, finally could not endure anymore. He rapidly turned back, the wyrm spear in his hand roaring and he seemed ready to attack.
“We are provoking you. What are you going to do about it?” Young Master Wan Xie revealed a derisive smile.
“Die!” Wicked Gentleman Du Huo was furious and the spear in his hand shot towards Young Master Wan Xie.
“You think I am afraid of you? Swirling Sinister Clouds!”
Young Master Wan Xie swiftly swung the folding fan in his grasp and black, ink-like, sinister clouds roared forward to collide against Wicked Gentleman Du Huo’s attack, resulting in a burst of bone-biting wave of iciness.
So, it’s Young Master Wan Xie and Huo Sheng. What are these two fellows doing here? Right. They must have been the ones behind the bandits we encountered after leaving the auction house back then. With just one glance, Chen Feng recognized the two fellows.
“Wan Xie, Du Huo, stop with the fighting, will you? A divine object has appeared up ahead and many cultivators are already heading there. You fellows actually want to fight here?” Suddenly, a large bird flew over, leaving chaotic streams of air in its wake. Standing on the bird was a tall and gaunt-looking cultivator. A flute, made with unknown materials, was inserted down his waist.
“It’s Xiao Qian from Demon Sound Sect.” A cultivator recognized the newcomer.
“That’s right, Wicked Gentleman Du Huo. We did not come here to start a fight with you. It is said that a divine object has appeared here. Thus, all of us are here to have a look. If you want to start a fight, there will surely be more opportunities for that in the future.” Unexpectedly, Young Master Wan Xie actually decided to back off.
“Very well. Let’s go and see what the object is before we continue.” Wicked Gentleman Du Huo nodded his head.
Demon Order, Holy Flame Sect, Demon Sound Sect. Although these sects are not as strong as the Ten Great Immortal Dao Sects of the Northern Plains, their powers are not to be underestimated. If even these people could appear, I wonder when the guys from Nine Firmaments Palace will appear, Chen Feng thought as he moved towards Jian Xiaotian. By then, Jian Xiaotian had already gotten to his feet. Although his face was still slightly pale, the sword intent radiating off his body soared skywards. It was an indication that his level had risen.
“Brother Jian, how do you feel?” Chen Feng asked.
