Chapter 305 304: An Astonishing Sword Strike
The next moment, with a wave of his hand, he pulled Beishan Yun's Beiyun Sword into his grasp.
This was a Profound Spirit Sword. Even if Ling Fei couldn't use it, he could still sell it for a good price.
"Senior Brother Beishan!"
"Ling Fei, you actually killed Senior Brother Beishan!"
"Kill him! Kill Ling Fei and avenge Senior Brother Beishan Yun!"
When Ling Fei stowed away Beishan Yun's Profound Spirit Sword, the members of the Beiming Sword Sect were thoroughly enraged.
He had killed one of their own and now dared to take their Profound Spirit Treasure.
How could they possibly tolerate this?
After all, many of them had come here with the sole purpose of killing Ling Fei and seizing the Supreme Treasure in his hands!
But now, the tables had turned.
Everyone immediately felt provoked.
However, despite their earth-shattering war cries, no one made the first move. Instead, most of them looked toward Beichen Feng.
For among all the Celestial Pill Realm experts present, only Beichen Feng possessed a Profound Spirit Treasure. Naturally, it was up to him to make a move.
Beichen Feng's expression was grave.
A glint flashed in Beichen Feng's eyes. 'Beishan Yun was stronger than me, yet he was slain in a single strike. Even if I were to attack, I doubt I could contend with Ling Fei.'
His mind had not been clouded by hatred.
Beichen Feng muttered to himself, 'However, I have strength in numbers. We can form a Sword Array and attack together. My combat power will skyrocket, and dealing with this Ling Fei should be a simple matter!'
His gaze flickered as he noticed cultivators flying in from the distance. 'Furthermore, people from Thousand Lakes Mountain, the Dongze Sect, and Wind Watching Cliff have arrived. If we all attack together, there's a seventy percent chance we can kill him. Even if we can't, we can at least trap him and wait for reinforcements.'
After all, Beichen Feng and his group were only the first wave sent to deal with Ling Fei; the various sects still had other geniuses on their way.
Beichen Feng quickly formulated a plan. 'So, all we need to do now is give it our all.'
"Form the Beiming Sword Array!" With that thought, Beichen Feng gave the order.
At the same time, a long sword appeared in his hand with a flick of his wrist.
Light patterns swirled around the blade, resembling a flowing river of stars.
It was clearly a Profound Spirit Sword.
Imprinted within the sword was a Sword Dao Mystical from the Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouse, Beichen Xinghe.
"Yes, sir!" As Beichen Feng's voice rang out, the eighty-two Celestial Pill Realm experts instantly snapped to attention and began arranging themselves into formation.
WHOOSH!
Everyone raised their swords, and a torrent of Pill Essence swept forth. The Sword Qi shot into the sky, gathering in the void above the mountain peak to form a Sword River. Beichen Feng moved his long sword, its own Sword Qi erupting to form a Qi Vortex. This vortex continuously drew the power of the Sword River into his blade, and instantly, the aura of his long sword skyrocketed.
He was clearly using the power of the Sword Array to fuel the Profound Spirit Sword in his hand.
He was to be the core of this Sword Array.
"The Beiming Sword Array!" At that moment, the Celestial Pill Realm experts from the three other major sects arrived.
Upon seeing the Beiming Sword Sect deploy their Sword Array, everyone's hearts clenched, and deep apprehension filled their faces.
The Beiming Sword Sect's ability to dominate the Southern Wilderness was largely thanks to this very Beiming Sword Array.
Once deployed, its power was immense, and few sects could hope to match it.
WHOOSH!
As the members of the Beiming Sword Sect focused on their Sword Array, the cultivators from the other three sects landed on the mountain peak.
"Gentlemen, your timing is perfect," Beichen Feng said as soon as the three groups landed. "Please stand guard on the flanks and don't let Ling Fei escape."
"Understood!" the young men leading the three sects nodded.
Then, the members of the three sects immediately fanned out to the left and right sides of the peak, sealing off Ling Fei's escape routes.
The members of these three sects also drew their Spiritual Treasures, poised to strike at a moment's notice.
In an instant, Ling Fei found himself surrounded by over one hundred Celestial Pill Realm cultivators.
In particular, the light patterns on Beichen Feng's Profound Spirit Sword began to churn, forming a vortex that pulled in the River of Sword Essence condensed by the eighty-two Celestial Pill Realm cultivators behind him. This influx of power continuously awakened the might sealed within the Profound Spirit Sword, causing a Supreme Sword Intent to erupt toward the heavens.
SWISH! SWISH!
Beams of sword light erupted from the long sword in Beichen Feng's hand, soaring to the sky like a volley of star rivers.
Its terrifying aura far surpassed anything Beishan Yun had previously shown.
At this moment, every member of the Beiming Sword Sect wore a grim expression, their killing intent chillingly palpable.
Down in the mountain abyss, Beichen Xinghe nodded slightly, thoroughly pleased with Beichen Feng. 'Although Feng'er's talent can't compare to the other geniuses in the Beiming Sword Sect, he has a steady temperament, acts with caution, and knows how to leverage his advantages. That's why I had the sect's Artifact Refiner forge this Supreme Treasure specifically for him.'
He felt little regret over Beishan Yun's death.
'A genius, no matter how talented, is doomed to fall if they don't learn restraint.'
Beishan Jianxiong and his companions, however, were filled with rage.
"We absolutely must kill Ling Fei this time," Beishan Jianxiong said through gritted teeth.
"Even a Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse would struggle to block that strike from Beichen Feng," a nearby Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse sneered. "Killing that Ling Fei won't be hard."
"Now we just have to prevent anyone from the Lingyun Sect from interfering."
"The Lingyun Sect interfering?" Beishan Jianxiong snorted. "Killing Ling Fei this time is an absolute must. So what if they try to step in?"
"That Sword Array!" In the distance, Grand Elder Fang's face was etched with worry.
"Ling Fei, can you handle this?" he immediately sent via Ling Fei's waist token.
"Don't worry, Elder. I have my own plans," Ling Fei sent back.
At that moment, he held his Sword Shield, his gaze turning upward. His expression was solemn as he stared ahead.
The Beichen Feng before him was clearly in a different league than the reckless Beishan Yun.
Now that he had gathered the power of the Sword Array, his combat strength was so immense that even Ling Fei felt a great deal of pressure.
Ling Fei muttered to himself, 'My Soul Power is very strong, comparable to that of a Celestial Pill Realm cultivator. My control over Profound Spirit Treasures might even surpass theirs. However, my Essence Qi is still insufficient, and my understanding of Sword Dao Mysticals isn't deep enough. I can't compare to Beichen Feng while he's channeling the power of the Sword Array.'
Ling Fei clearly understood the difference in their respective strengths.
In a one-on-one fight, Ling Fei wouldn't even fear two Celestial Pill Realm experts wielding Profound Spirit Treasures.
But Beichen Feng, channeling the power of the Sword Array, was far more formidable than two experts with Profound Spirit Treasures.
A glint flashed in Beichen Feng's eyes as he spoke. "Ling Fei, you truly are a remarkable figure. Killing a Celestial Pill Realm expert while only at the Small Primordial Pill Realm is awe-inspiring. However, the members of my Beiming Sword Sect are not so easily slain! Today, allow me, Beichen Feng, to experience your skills firsthand. Let's see just how powerful you truly are."
With a sharp flick of his wrist, he slashed his long sword toward Ling Fei.
"Beiming Sword River!"
As he slashed with his long sword, the deep words escaped Beichen Feng's lips.
The sound waves rippled through the void as the Sword Qi from Beichen Feng's long sword erupted, coalescing into a giant sword that slashed down toward Ling Fei.
From a distance, it looked like a vast river of swords plunging down.
As the Sword River descended, the Sword Qi howled. Each individual strand of Sword Qi was like a razor-sharp blade capable of slicing through the void, each one possessing enough power to slay a Celestial Pill Realm expert.
This one strike was enough to annihilate a hundred Celestial Pill Realm experts.
Yet, Ling Fei had to face this attack all by himself.
In the distance, the spectating cultivators all held their breath.
The eyes of Beishan Jianxiong, Beichen Xinghe, and the others burned with excitement.
To them, Ling Fei was a symbol of their shame.
If it weren't for him, they never would have been injured by Yuan Huaitian.
That was why they so desperately craved his death, and it was the very reason they had all come to the Falling Star Mountain Range.
Grand Elder Fang, however, was incredibly nervous.
Grand Elder Fang's face was a mask of anxiety. 'Ling Fei... can he really handle this?'
