Chapter 636: Chapter 629: Defeat
The Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger, once its power is unleashed to the extreme, can take a life from thousands of miles away.
As the creator of this Divine Skill, Chen Hai was able to do this.
Zhang Tianci, who had received the transmission of this Divine Skill, for the time being, was merely just beginning, certainly incapable of reaching such an extent.
Zhang Tianci was already exceedingly familiar with the area surrounding the Black Water Immortal Mountain. Although Chen Hai had only used a mirror to show him a few glimpses of the wild boar into which Fang Tiance had transformed, those few glimpses were enough to allow him to lock onto Ye Fangxian’s approximate location.
Atop a mountain peak, Zhang Tianci descended, standing high and scanning the surroundings.
“There he is…” When a large wild boar, about two meters long, burst into his view galloping in his direction, Zhang Tianci’s eyes lit up.
After estimating the distance between them, he took a deep breath, and with a motion of Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger, he pointed it towards the large boar.
…
Transformed into a large boar, Ye Fangxian’s hooves flew as he galloped along the foot of the mountain.
“At most twenty to thirty miles away is the Bloodthirsty Sect’s gate.”
“That Sea King, although he has been quiet these years with no news coming forth, I’m certain that sneaky bastard is definitely hiding within the Bloodthirsty Sect’s gate.”
“With my level of concealment, those wastes at the Bloodthirsty Sect couldn’t possibly detect my arrival.”
“If I suddenly show up, I’m sure to catch the Sea King off guard. By then, I’ll directly block their gate.”
“Apart from confronting me head on, the Sea King has no other choice. If he wants to ambush and scheme against me like last time, he needs an opportunity.”
Slowing his pace slightly, Ye Fangxian sneered contemptuously.
Right at this moment, tens of meters away, the void rippled, and a crack in space abruptly appeared.
“Not Heavenly Punishment again…” When he saw a white light bursting from the crack in space and shooting straight at him, Ye Fangxian was startled and nearly wet himself.
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one fears the rope for ten years; the damage caused by the white light that had shot out from the void last time was still freshly imprinted in his memory.
To confront the white light head on like he had last time, not even if he were beaten to death would he have the courage again.
With no regard for maintaining the form of a boar, Ye Fangxian directly manifested his true form, turned around, and ran.
From his experience, although such a white light was powerful, its accuracy seemed to be lacking.
Had he not been so impetuous last time and played it safe, turning and running at the sight of the white light, perhaps the attack would have missed him altogether.
Wiser for the fall, seeing the white light shooting from the space crack this time, he ran for his life with all his might.
“Something’s wrong, this white light seems to have locked onto me tightly.”
“I’ve already fled over a hundred meters, yet that damned thing is relentlessly chasing right behind me.”
“Considering the current trend, getting hit by the white light is simply a matter of time.”
“Here goes nothing…”
Once Ye Fangxian confirmed he couldn’t shake off the white light, he gritted his teeth and made a resolute decision.
He directly drew a Spirit Sword, vibrated it in his hand, and unleashed myriad sword shadows, charging straight towards the white light.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
The countless sword shadows unleashed by Ye Fangxian converged at one point, finally colliding with the white light.
In an instant, a fierce gale arose, and energy surged wildly.
“Crack, crack, crack…” Ye Fangxian’s Spirit Sword, frail and decayed, shattered into countless pieces.
Immediately after, an overwhelming force rushed at him, causing him to stumble backwards several steps.
Finally regaining his balance, he spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.
“I’ve blocked it, I finally blocked it…”
“This damned thing, its power seems to be just like that.”
“A fart’s Heavenly Punishment, if the real Heavenly Punishment were this weak, how could I have ended up so miserable last time?”
“Someone must be sneak attacking and plotting against me, could it be, that Sea King?”
Although he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, it was merely a minor injury, and it did not significantly impact Ye Fangxian’s combat strength.
The moment he steadied his footing, his gaze was piercing as he swept it around him.
Back then, he indeed was like a young plant in a greenhouse, clearly lacking in combat experience.
But now, after countless battles in the territories of others throughout the trials of the world, his combat experience had grown to an extreme richness.
Even though that streak of white light had merely slashed through the void and shot forth, with just a quick sweep around, he had actually managed to pinpoint Zhang Tianci’s approximate direction.
“Found you, daring to sneak attack and plot against Ye, who gave you the courage?”
Despite being nearly twenty miles away, Ye Fangxian’s gaze fell straight onto Zhang Tianci.
With a roar, he left a trail of afterimages as he charged straight toward Zhang Tianci.
Among his peers, Ye Fangxian never feared anyone.
The person who sneaked attacked him, he was certain, was merely at the True Immortal True Demon level.
Such a person, now that he had exposed his location and fallen into his sight, Ye Fangxian had already directly sentenced him to death.
…
At the summit of Black Water Immortal Mountain,
Clad in white, Chen Hai stood with his hands behind his back. This entire territory around him was his Domain, where everything that happened could, should he wish to know, be sensed without fail and caught by him.
He had been keeping an eye on the battle between Ye Fangxian and Zhang Tianci.
Using Ye Fangxian as a whetstone to sharpen his First Disciple was just a small test he had set for his pupil.
If Zhang Tianci were to face a life-threatening danger, he could not possibly ignore it.
“This lad, he’s no match for Ye Fangxian in a head-on fight, but relying on the long attack range of Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger, he actually knows how to kite!”
“The enemy advances, I retreat; the enemy retreats, I harass; isn’t this the essence of guerrilla warfare?”
“As long as he doesn’t slip up, taking down that Ye Fangxian should only be a matter of time!”
…
After watching the battle between Zhang Tianci and Ye Fangxian for a while, Chen Hai finally relaxed and muttered to himself.
Just as he had expected, in less than half an hour, a gust of wind blew through, and Zhang Tianci dragged Ye Fangxian, who was like a dead dog, to the top of this mountain.
“Master, your Disciple has not failed your expectations. With the mighty power of Black Water Mysterious Yellow Sword Finger, I have finally defeated Ye Fangxian!”
Seeing Chen Hai, Zhang Tianci, dragging Ye Fangxian, hurriedly ran over.
Stopping in front of Chen Hai, he bowed respectfully and reported.
Wounded all over and drenched in blood, Ye Fangxian at this moment looked like a bloodied man.
At the same level, Ye Fangxian’s combat strength was indeed fierce, almost impossible to find a match.
But facing Zhang Tianci, the latter didn’t fight him head-on, instead, from a distance, after landing a finger strike, Zhang Tianci turned and fled.
In such a situation, with no way to apply his strength, even with powerful combat abilities, he simply couldn’t use them, and he felt extreme frustration.
“You are the Sea King…”
“The one who defeated me is actually your disciple?”
Seeing Chen Hai and hearing what Zhang Tianci said, Ye Fangxian was completely dumbfounded on the spot.
