Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Two Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses in blood-red robes swooped in, drawing ever closer to Ling Fei.

This made Ling Fei's heart tighten with tension.

However, he quickly suppressed his inner turmoil.

'Since I've run into them, I might as well face them. Fear is useless.'

'In that case, why not give it everything I've got and fight?'

'It's not like I don't have a fighting chance,' Ling Fei thought.

With that thought, Ling Fei reined in his Heart Spirit. He then pretended to be oblivious, as if he hadn't noticed the two men.

WHOOSH!

Ahead, two men in blood-patterned long robes stopped. Seeing Ling Fei with his eyes tightly shut, they frowned slightly.

"Ling Fei seems to be cultivating. Should we just attack now and wound him badly?" the man holding the long spear asked, his eyes glinting as he spoke in a low voice.

In his eyes, this was the perfect opportunity to kill Ling Fei.

"Ling Fei can control a Profound Spirit Treasure. He's clearly not someone to be taken lightly. Be careful, this could be a trap," the man beside him said warily.

"What's there to be afraid of? He's just some kid at the Primordial Pill Realm. Do you really think he can threaten the likes of us?"

The man with the long spear sneered, his thin lips curling in contempt.

These two were powerhouses from the Blood Killing Sect.

The sinister spear-wielder was Fan Wei, also known as the Blood Essence Spear.

The stern-looking man beside him was named Chen Yidao.

Both were prominent figures in the Blood Killing Sect and rarely failed in their assassinations.

"True. Even if his combat power is comparable to the Nascent Soul Realm, we're both Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses. How could he possibly be our match?" Hearing this, Chen Yidao nodded slightly, the last of his apprehension slowly fading.

After all, they weren't just ordinary Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses.

They were experts at the Divine Wheel Second Realm, far superior to ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Furthermore, their techniques surpassed even those of ordinary cultivators at the Divine Wheel Second Realm.

After exchanging a glance, the two men continued to close in on Ling Fei.

Finally, they reached a point seventy meters away from Ling Fei.

Once they were seventy meters from Ling Fei, they exchanged another glance and prepared to strike. 'It's time to make our move.'

WHOOSH!

In that instant, a powerful aura erupted from them.

A thick Evil Qi immediately began to radiate from Fan Wei, the one holding the long spear.

Blood Qi swirled around him, flowing like crimson dragons into the long spear in his hand.

The stern-faced Chen Yidao at his side drew a black-gold curved blade.

Light Patterns swirled around the blade as a sharp Sword Intent began to condense, making the surrounding air vibrate.

A powerful pressure bore down on Ling Fei, completely locking down the area around him.

This put Ling Fei entirely under their control.

"You cover the flank and stop him from escaping," Chen Yidao said.

"With me here, there's no way he can escape," Fan Wei grinned.

He cultivated the Blood Shadow Evil Technique, which gave him a phantom-like Body Technique. His speed was far beyond that of any ordinary person.

With him on the job, there was no fear of their target escaping.

By combining their strengths, he and Chen Yidao had assassinated many powerful experts.

"Kill!" With a flash in his eyes, Chen Yidao struck, launching himself at Ling Fei.

SWISH, SWISH!

The flash of the blade fell like a rainbow-colored tear in the Void. Its dazzling light resembled the Sword River of the Nine Heavens crashing down, accompanied by a terrifying, oppressive aura.

Nearby, Fan Wei's snake-like eyes were fixed on Ling Fei, poised to deliver a devastating blow at a moment's notice.

However, a closer inspection would reveal that Chen Yidao was not using his full power; he was clearly holding something back.

'As long as I injure Ling Fei, I can capture him. Then I can ask him if he obtained the Marsh King's inheritance,' Chen Yidao thought.

The Blood Killing Sect rarely made a move against Low Level Cultivators.

They had been mobilized this time for two reasons: one, someone had paid them, and two, they coveted the inheritance Ling Fei had supposedly obtained.

If they captured Ling Fei, they could obtain the inheritance of the Pill King, Yuan Feng.

This was a massive draw for the Blood Killing Sect.

That was why these two Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses had gone so far as to lie in ambush in the Falling Star Mountain Range.

The river of blade light descended from the sky, its presence astonishingly powerful.

This was the strike of a Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouse.

The mere Sword Qi of the attack sent a chill down Ling Fei's spine.

'There's no way I can block this strike.' A thought flashed through Ling Fei's mind. Even if he activated his Profound Spirit Treasure, he wouldn't be able to contend with this attack.

After all, Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses almost exclusively used Profound Spirit Treasures.

Besides, they themselves possessed the power of the Nascent Soul Realm. How could an ordinary person possibly withstand such a strike?

At that moment, Ling Fei truly understood the power of the Nascent Soul Realm.

As the Sword Qi descended, he felt as if his very soul was about to be torn asunder.

'Who are these people?' Even as he reeled from the shock, Ling Fei was filled with suspicion.

The two of them didn't look like they were from the Beiming Sword Sect, nor from Wind Watching Cliff at Thousand Lakes Mountain.

But the fact that they had dispatched two Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses showed just how determined they were to kill Ling Fei.

However, with the blade light bearing down on him, Ling Fei had no time for further thought.

He was now in a position of extreme peril.

Because even if he could somehow block this strike, there was no way he could withstand a follow-up attack from the spearman.

'In that case, let's see just how powerful the Nascent Soul Realm truly is!' A thought flashed through Ling Fei's mind as the blade light fell.

"Yiyi!" At the same time, he called out to Yiyi.

"Ya!" Inside the Dragon Bone Space, upon hearing Ling Fei's call, the little creature's ears perked up. Its gemstone-like eyes darted about, filled with a fiery eagerness. It looked as though it couldn't wait to jump into a big fight.

Yiyi's warlike posture was such a hilarious contrast to its adorable appearance that one couldn't help but smile.

"Help me take care of these two," Ling Fei's cold voice sounded in Yiyi's mind as its ears perked up.

Ya!

Yiyi let out a soft cry of excitement. The little creature clenched its fists as multicolored Light Patterns flickered across its body.

A powerful aura radiated from it, startling the nearby Golden Eagle from its meditation.

Seeing Yiyi's fierce demeanor, the Golden Eagle instinctively recoiled, its face a mask of apprehension.

「Meanwhile, outside.」

SWISH!

The blade light tore through the air, now just seven meters from Ling Fei.

At that moment, Ling Fei's tightly shut eyes finally snapped open.

'Did he finally notice us?' To Chen Yidao and Fan Wei, it seemed that Ling Fei had been startled out of his cultivation by the powerful Sword Qi.

Now, they waited for Ling Fei to counterattack.

"Yidao, don't kill the kid. If we lose our lead on the Marsh King's inheritance, this will all have been for nothing," Fan Wei reminded him.

"Don't worry. I'm not using my full power in this strike. With my level of skill, I have complete control," Chen Yidao replied via voice transmission.

At his Realm, as long as it wasn't a full-power attack, he could control the blade's Power completely.

With a single thought, he could disperse the Sword Intent, and the might of the attack would plummet.

Just as Chen Yidao sent his message, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Because right before his eyes, just under the descending blade light, a ripple spread out from where Ling Fei stood. His entire body then turned into an afterimage and vanished.

"This..." Chen Yidao was completely stunned.

With his powerful perception, he could tell that the young man before him had truly vanished.

In the instant he was stunned, the blade light slashed down.

However, the blade light only struck the afterimage Ling Fei had left behind, slicing through the rippling patch of the Void.

The blade light fell, and once the aftershocks faded, only empty space remained before them.

Ling Fei's figure was long gone.

"What happened?" the nearby Fan Wei couldn't help but exclaim.

His eyes darted toward Chen Yidao, as if seeking confirmation.
