Chapter 1597 - 1594: Unexpected Encounter with Two Women
"Old scoundrel, if you want to kill me, you’d better see if you have the skills!"
Yang Fei snorted coldly, holding the Soul Binding Rope, with the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace floating in front of him, mana surging around him, confronting Mu Qingchuan without any sign of weakness, his words carrying provocation.
"Courting death!"
Mu Qingchuan roared, an azure sword aura slashing through the air, transforming into a hundred-foot-long sword light, carrying a terrifying power as it slashed down towards Yang Fei.
Yang Fei’s pupils contracted slightly, feeling the terrifying power of this sword. The fury-driven attack of a Nascent Soul mid-stage master was indeed extraordinary, far exceeding the capabilities of a Core Formation stage cultivator.
Yet now he was already a late stage Core Formation cultivator and possessed several heaven-defying treasures, so naturally, he couldn’t be scared off by just one sword strike.
"Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, suppress!"
Yang Fei formed hand seals, and azure light burst forth, the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace instantly transforming into a giant cauldron ten feet tall, the ancient runes on its body shining brilliantly, a terrifying pressure that suppressed the heavens and earth spread out forcefully.
"Clang—!"
The sword light fiercely slashed against the body of the furnace, creating a deafening sound of metal clashing.
The Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace vibrated violently but managed to withstand the sword.
However, Yang Fei’s face turned slightly pale as he felt a terrifying force of recoil transmitted through the furnace body, making him feel as if his internal organs were displaced.
The Nascent Soul mid-stage master’s power was indeed formidable; even with such a heaven-defying treasure as the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, he was still at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation.
But Yang Fei never relied solely on brute force.
At the moment when the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace blocked the sword aura, Yang Fei’s figure flashed, instantly teleporting away.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy!"
Mu Qingchuan coldly shouted, the powerful divine sense of a Nascent Soul mid-stage master spread out overwhelmingly, instantly locking onto Yang Fei’s teleportation location.
This mysterious Bronze Furnace was truly formidable. The power of my sword was so tyrannical, yet Yang Fei, who had just entered the late stage Core Formation, actually used this item to withstand it.
This treasure must be taken down.
His figure flashed and he pursued.
In fact, with Yang Fei’s teleportation ability, coupled with the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl allowing him to tunnel directly into the Earth Space, if he were to flee wholeheartedly, capturing and killing him would be no easy task for Mu Qingchuan.
But Yang Fei was far from willing to flee so miserably.
If the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl could injure Mu Qingchuan’s Nascent Soul body, it proved he was not powerless to fight!
If maneuvered correctly, today Yang Fei, through a late stage Core Formation cultivation, could slay a Nascent Soul mid-stage master for the world to see.
In the chase and escape, the two were soon locked in combat again.
"Snap!"
Yang Fei swung a whip, silver light tearing through the void, viciously striking towards Mu Qingchuan.
Mu Qingchuan was prepared, his form flashing to dodge, while his hand seals continuously changed, emitting countless azure sword qi like a storm.
Yang Fei stepped on the void, dodging and weaving relentlessly, constantly teleporting to evade. But the attacks of a Nascent Soul mid-stage master weren’t that easily avoided? Several sword qi grazed his body, leaving multiple blood marks.
"Little thief, today is your death day!"
Mu Qingchuan fought more bravely, although his Nascent Soul essence was injured, his physical body remained at its peak, his mana far stronger than Yang Fei’s; dealing with a junior at late stage Core Formation should be easy.
Yang Fei’s eyes flickered, his mind racing with calculations.
Although the Soul Binding Rope was heaven-defying, against someone like Mu Qingchuan, a Nascent Soul mid-stage master, its effect was greatly reduced.
After all, the opponent’s cultivation realm far exceeded his, and the strength of the opponent’s divine sense surpassed his own. Plus Mu Qingchuan was aware of the soul capturing power of the Soul Binding Rope and had prepared long before, making the soul capturing power only cause some interference but unable to decisively affect the battle.
The suppressive power of the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace was unable to completely crush Mu Qingchuan. His mana was too deep; though the Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace could weaken his combat power somewhat, it was far from sufficient to suppress him, and the bloodthirsty effect was incapable of directly extracting the opponent’s essence blood and life qi mechanism.
As for the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl...
Yang Fei was no fool, Mu Qingchuan had already suffered from it once and would surely be cautious, not giving him the opportunity for a sneak attack easily.
Looks like he could only rely on teleportation to maneuver, and if he could exhaust the opponent’s mana, perhaps he could find an opportunity to counterattack.
Yang Fei took a deep breath, no longer facing Mu Qingchuan head-on, instead displaying exquisite movement techniques, coupled with teleportation, shuttling and dodging continuously through the void.
The two pursued and evaded, tangled for more than ten days.
During these ten days, they crossed tens of thousands of miles of territory, battling from outside Huoyue City to the desolate wilderness, and from the wilderness to the continuous mountains in the southern part of the Southern Domain.
Yet throughout, Yang Fei never strayed far from the Flame Moon Sect’s area of influence, always maneuvering in these parts. He thought that since the Flame Moon Sect was Li Shuya’s territory, and the commotion caused by his encounter with the Mu Family master was significant, it might attract the Flame Moon Sect’s experts to investigate. If his identity were known, surely they would offer assistance?
These ten-plus days, Yang Fei had always been oppressed by Mu Qingchuan, looking miserable, but he could rely on teleportation and several treasures to escape danger.
His storage bag contained plenty of Replenishing Qi Elixirs and Spiritual Liquid, allowing him to restore mana when exhausted, sustaining impressive endurance.
But after more than ten days of intense fighting, Yang Fei gradually felt exhausted.
The depth of Nascent Soul mid-stage mana far exceeded his imagination. Throughout these days, Mu Qingchuan seemed never to tire, persistently maintaining a high-intensity pursuit.
Yang Fei relied on elixirs for support; while his mana could still be maintained, both his spirit and physical strength had reached extreme fatigue.
"Damn it, truly a Nascent Soul old monster; even with a severely injured Nascent Soul body, his combat power remains terrifying, so troublesome."
Yang Fei panted heavily, cursing in his heart.
Initially, his plan was to rely on the elixirs and spiritual liquid in his storage bag to drag Mu Qingchuan until his mana was exhausted, then use the treasures to reverse the battle. But now, it seemed he severely underestimated the mana reserves of a Nascent Soul mid-stage master.
"Little thief! You are at your limit; why not surrender?"
Mu Qingchuan’s voice sounded behind Yang Fei, filled with mockery and killing intent.
He could also see Yang Fei was on the brink. All it took was a little more force to completely capture this brat!
Thinking of the heaven-defying treasures on Yang Fei, Mu Qingchuan’s eyes flashed with greed and excitement. If he seized the Soul Binding Rope, Ten Directions Heavenly Furnace, and that dark pearl, it could compensate for some of the damage to his Nascent Soul essence!
Yang Fei gritted his teeth, hesitating whether to unleash the Extreme Fire Demon Pearl and use it to escape back to Earth.
Just as Yang Fei hesitated, suddenly a powerful divine sense swept from afar, like an invisible ripple spreading through the void, probing the two of them.
Yang Fei and Mu Qingchuan’s expressions changed simultaneously.
"Nascent Soul master!"
Both of them sensed the person’s general cultivation realm almost simultaneously.
Mu Qingchuan frowned slightly, looking alertly towards the distance.
This was not a time to stir up more trouble.
Moreover, his Nascent Soul essence was now injured; if the other party discovered this, they might become a robber and target him.
Considering this, Mu Qingchuan’s killing intent became stronger, deciding to resolve this quickly.
However, Yang Fei felt a surge of joy.
The Flame Moon Sect finally had experts noticing the battle here?
Damn, I’ve waited so long.
He decided to directly reveal his connection with Li Shuya, seeking help from the approaching expert.
But as he focused his divine sense to probe the rapidly approaching presence, the excitement on his face suddenly froze.
The person’s speed was incredibly fast, appearing tens of miles away in an instant. Yang Fei’s powerful divine sense distinctly detected that the person was accompanied by two women!
The aura of those two women... was unbelievably familiar to him!
"Yanyang! Yun Shu?"
Yang Fei was shocked, momentarily forgetting to evade Mu Qingchuan’s attack, nearly getting sliced by a sword qi.
Although the two auras were weak, Yang Fei would never mistake them! They were the two dear companions he had been searching for years!
His heart filled with joy, never expecting to encounter the two women he bitterly sought in such a situation.
