Chapter 499: Another Exper (1/2)

t

A pure sword cultivator at level 6 of the Sky Human stage. No wonder he is so arrogant. Chen Feng identified the mighty-looking cultivator’s cultivation base with just a glance. However, Chen Feng was not feeling too concerned. Although this person’s cultivation base was quite high, it was not enough to threaten him. Chen Feng was only worried that more experts would come.

All the cultivators who had entered this pocket dimension were at the Sky Human stage. Naturally, that included those at level 9 of the Sky Human stage, cultivators who were close to reaching the Human Immortal stage. If a group of them were to appear, wielding Sacred artefacts, Chen Feng would have no time to continue collecting the Mystic Iron ores. Instead, he would have to think about how to run away.

In the face of the incoming attack, Chen Feng swiftly backed away and three beams of sword light shot forward from behind him, intersecting one another to block the attack coming at him.

Bang!

Flames sparked all the way up into the sky and the three sword beams were once again shattered. The cultivator did not stop and the sword in his hand shot towards Chen Feng again.

The Gold Mustering Sword Technique that he practiced was one of Sword Hall’s sword technique involving the use of dark-gold sword energy. It was capable of mustering the power of metal around the user, gathering it upon the user’s sword to be unleashed when attacking the enemy.

The power behind this technique was incomparable. Add the high number of changes behind the sword skills learnt from Sword Hall, most cultivators at the same level would find themselves at a disadvantage when facing this technique. This was also why pure sword cultivators would often show such arrogance towards others.

Chen Feng chose not to face him head on. Instead, he mobilized the Eight Trigrams sword array to fight the cultivator. They fought a few rounds, each round ending with Chen Feng in a disadvantageous position while the cultivator kept pressing the attack.

“Humph! Although the sword array is good, you are too weak. It is simply ineffective against me. Sword arrays consume a great deal of energy. I want to see how long you can keep this up!” the cultivator said with a scoff and three sword beams were fired out consecutively to attack Chen Feng, one from the top, one from the middle and one from the bottom.

“The disciples from Sword Hall are truly extraordinary. However, I do not have the time to play with you. I will have to finish you off first,” Chen Feng said and the Fire Wyrm Sword in his hand drew back the radiance emanating from its body to become like an ordinary sword. Next, Chen Feng stepped forward and displayed the Longevity Sword Technique. Rays of sword energy enveloped his surroundings in a rampaging manner and an overbearingly formidable sword attack immediately suppressed the cultivator.

Witnessing such a skilful display of swordsmanship from Chen Feng, a look of shock appeared in the cultivator’s eyes. The surging pressure forced the cultivator to back away, but he only managed to take three steps backwards when a sword attack struck his body. Although the wound was not deep, the savage sword energy contained within the attack invaded his body to ceaselessly destroy his vitality.

“What kind of sword technique is this?” The cultivator was shocked. He was one of the best disciples from Sword Hall, someone who had practiced swordsmanship – from a young age – for hundreds of years to the point of perfection. Moreover, he was cultivating Sword Hall’s dark-gold sword energy, an overbearing sword technique from the sect. Unexpectedly, he would encounter someone whose sword technique could suppress his own sword technique. Additionally, it was clear that this opponent also had a much lower cultivation base.

Puchi!

As he was retreating, the cultivator took another hit. This time, the sword beam striking him was even stronger than the previous one. After the sword beam exploded against his arm, he felt his whole arm going numb.

“Wildwind Sword!”

He knew that he would constantly be in a disadvantageous position if this situation were allowed to continue. In the end, he would lose. Thus, he gritted his teeth and displayed the Wildwind Sword Technique. It was something that he had only just begun practicing and had yet to successfully master. This technique was even more overbearing compared to his earlier sword technique, containing the explosive power of wind. Even so, he had yet to comprehend this technique properly and was only using this technique out of desperation.

Despite that, the effect of his move was very good. Displaying the technique, the cultivator was actually capable stopping himself from retreating.

“Look! It’s Yu Xiaojian from Sword Hall!”

Other cultivators had come over as well. Originally, they had wanted to break through the Eight Trigrams sword array that Chen Feng set up. However, the fight between Chen Feng and Yu Xiaojian attracted their attention instead.

“It really is Yu Xiaojian. He is a very formidable sword cultivator who has practiced several powerful sword techniques. Look, he is having the upper hand!”

“Humph! Do you fellows only recognize Yu Xiaojian? Look at his opponent.”

“Who? Let me have a look. It’s Chen Feng? It’s actually Chen Feng! Why are the two of them fighting? Does Yu Xiaojian want to capture Chen Feng and get the rewards offered by Nine Firmaments Palace?”

“I don’t think so. Chen Feng must be the one who set up this sword array. He wants to stop others from mining the Mystic Iron ores here.”

“Yes. The amount of Mystic Iron ores here is astonishing. We could sense it even from far away. The two of them are fighting one another. This is a good opportunity. Let’s work together to break this sword array!”

“Ha ha ha! There is no need to work together. Watch as I break this shabby sword array myself!”

One of them, a cultivator in white magic robes, waved his hand and a talisman – flashing with bolts of lightning – struck the Eight Trigrams sword array. Next, an intense flash of lightning flared out as a thunderous boom reverberated outwards. The Eight Trigrams sword array that Chen Feng set up shook violently, seemingly on the verge of dispersing.

“Good! Your Jade Talisman Sect’s Lightning Talisman is truly powerful!”

“Chen Feng, looks like your sword array is about to break. Like I said before, you cannot take this mine for yourself.” Seeing the other cultivators arriving, a smile appeared on Yu Xiaojian’s face. His Wildwind Sword Technique, which was originally somewhat stiff, became smoother and the power behind it gradually grew.
