Chapter 316: Don’t Force Me to Kill You
Far from where the two were clashing, in a clearing on the back mountain, stood a large tree.
Bai Xue was watching the two of them fight, her face tense with anxiety.
Although she was over a hundred meters away, she was, after all, a Cultivator at the Late-stage Qi Cultivation Realm.
So, even from such a great distance, she could still see everything clearly.
This was also the reason she was so worried.
She saw her master unleash the Celestial Sword Technique, and yet she still couldn’t defeat Chu Feng.
"That guy... he’s so strong. It looks like it’ll be very difficult for Master to defeat him." Bai Xue’s gaze was filled with frantic worry.
"Heh, old hag. Keep attacking. I’d like to see just how long you can last." Chu Feng’s aura surged as he instantly reclaimed the upper hand.
Though his opponent’s Sword Skill was decisive and fierce, to Chu Feng, it was utterly unimpressive.
No matter how many times she lunged with her sword, Chu Feng parried each blow with ease, a placid look on his face.
Even though they had both reached the Human Martial Arts Peak Realm, fighting with such intensity was incredibly taxing on one’s stamina.
After another ten or so minutes of battle, the old woman was already starting to gasp for air.
It was obvious her stamina was failing; she was old, after all, and didn’t have many years left to live.
BAM!
Chu Feng unleashed a horizontal sweep with his sword, swatting the old woman and sending her flying.
At the same time, Chu Feng’s blade glowed with a terrifying light. The Sword Qi Radiance contained a fearsome, sharp aura and was accompanied by intense heat.
Even a light touch from the blade was enough to sear a large wound onto her body.
"Aaargh—"
The old woman screamed in agony, her face contorting in an ugly grimace.
In that moment, she was assaulted by an intense wave of pain.
It was sharp and stinging, a pain that seemed to assault her nerves directly.
"You little beast! What kind of technique was that?" Though the old woman was howling in pain, her venomous eyes remained fixed firmly on Chu Feng.
When Bai Xue saw this, she was badly frightened and rushed over, deeply concerned for her master’s safety.
"Master!" Bai Xue shouted.
"Heh, so you can use the Celestial Sword Technique, but I can’t use the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique?" Chu Feng sneered.
Not only had he used the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, but Chu Feng had also projected his Spiritual Power.
That brilliant radiance was his externalized Spiritual Power.
Chu Feng withdrew the Heaven-Slaying Sword. "Seeing as you’re so old, I won’t kill you," he said to the old woman. "If you want revenge against the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor, go find him. Don’t come after me. I have nothing to do with him."
Just then, Bai Xue ran up to them, and Chu Feng glanced at her.
When the old woman saw this, however, her fury intensified.
Her white hair came unbound, and she looked to be boiling with rage.
"You little thief, today you die! I don’t care if you’re connected to the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor or not. As long as you use his Sword Technique, you must die!" the old woman declared irrationally.
Her words instantly sent Chu Feng into a fury.
"Fine. If you’re that eager to die, then I’ll help you. You don’t have many years left to live anyway. Might as well die now and get your reincarnation over with." With that, Chu Feng thrust his sword forward.
Forcing her aching body upright, the old woman re-engaged Chu Feng, shoving Bai Xue aside.
But after only a few exchanges, Chu Feng struck her to the ground with a single slash.
"Get lost!" Chu Feng bellowed.
If she hadn’t been an old woman, Chu Feng would have simply killed her.
But she was old, and he had no real grudge against her. There was no need for such lethal measures.
Therefore, Chu Feng just wanted her to leave on her own.
In reality, even if Chu Feng didn’t kill her, the old woman wouldn’t live much longer after this fight.
Her Power of Origin had been too severely depleted, and her Life Force was almost exhausted.
Although the old woman was powerful, at her age, her vitality had long since withered away.
If she had simply lived out her days in peace and cultivated steadily, she could have lived for several more years.
To insist on causing all this trouble... it was nothing short of a death wish.
"Fine, we’ll leave! We’re leaving right now!" Bai Xue hurriedly began to lead the old woman away.
The old woman’s face was etched with bitter resentment; her expression suggested she wouldn’t be able to die in peace unless she killed Chu Feng.
"I’m giving you one last chance. Get out of here in the next ten seconds, or I’m killing you both!" Chu Feng said, his expression savage.
He had no grudge against the Celestial Sword Sect, so he was willing to let them go after teaching them a lesson this time.
But if they dared to come after him a second time, to cause him more trouble, then Chu Feng wouldn’t be so soft-hearted.
"You little bastard! Don’t think this is over just because you’re ’letting me go.’ Just you wait! I will kill you next time! This ends only when one of us is dead!" the old woman said, her voice dripping with arrogant fury.
"You really think I don’t dare to kill you?" Chu Feng’s expression grew cold, and the Heaven-Slaying Sword in his hand began to glow with a blinding light.
