Chapter 485: My PRECIOUSSS

…

Ji Wenlong and Kou Chongxue both understood how far Feng Yezi was willing to go. However, they weren’t the only ones. At this point, even Shang Xia understood that Feng Yezi didn’t have much scruples on attacking weaker cultivators.

That was why Shang Xia only risked it all and went for the origin dipper after seeing how Feng Yezi had been suppressed by Ji Wenlong and Kou Chongxue.

With the same logic, Kou Chongxue and Ji Wenlong increased the pressure on Feng Yezi after discovering Shang Xia’s actions. They wanted to prevent that shameless old fellow from going overboard in desperation.

They might have thought they had suppressed Feng Yezi well, but an even more disgusting Yun Lu leaped out of nowhere.

The Martial Dipper Realm ancestor from the White Deer Paradise was obviously planning to use himself as a sacrifice to extract Feng Yezi from the relentless attacks. He wanted to borrow Feng Yezi’s shamelessness to kill Shang Xia.

After Ji Wenlong brought out the Lingxuan Space Shattering Claw and heavily injured Yun Lu earlier, the 3 Deers of the Ji Continent knew that their schemes wouldn’t succeed. They suffered greatly in the hands of Kou Chongxue and Ji Wenlong soon after. When he restored a portion of his strength, Yun Lu decided that they had to at least achieve something.

At the end of the day, Yun Lu was a Martial Dipper Realm ancestor from a holy land. He had long since noticed Shang Xia’s actions, but he wouldn’t get around to killing a junior in the Martial Extermination Realm. Just as he was at a loss of what to do, he recalled the ultra-shameless Feng Yezi. He forcefully inserted himself into the battle and everything that happened, happened.

…

“Feng Yezi, if you dare to attack a junior, I promise I’ll hunt you down and kill you!” Kou Chongxue roared. It seemed as though he was truly enraged by the actions of Yun Lu and Feng Yezi this time. However, he was stuck in the battle and could only threaten Feng Yezi with his words.

As the words left his lips, a strange wind started to rise in the northern direction of the Azure Origin World. The cloud churned around violently and layers upon layers of spatial fluctuations tore through the air. The intense fluctuations even affected the Martial Dipper Realm ancestors of the Divine Capital Sect and Zhongxuan Gate in the skies above who were still dealing with the mess in the Abyssal Secret Region.

It was a sign that Kou Chongxue was truly enraged. There were even signs of him getting ready to charge over from the You Continent.

Kou Chongxue might be a powerful expert in the Martial Dipper Realm, but no matter how fast he was, he wouldn’t be able to make it in time.

“This fucking asshole is really shameless!” Ji Wenlong was equally as angry. He completely ignored Xuan Lu and Hua Lu as his claw went straight for Yun Lu. He was adamant about destroying Yun Lu’s avatar even if he had to suffer some injuries in the process.

Kou Chongxue acted the same. He increased the power behind every strike and displayed the true power of his sword art. He stopped both Xuan Lu and Hua Lu on his own and any Martial Dipper Realm expert who was watching the battle from the Beyond Heavens Pavilion could only gasp in amazement.

The sudden outburst from the two of them was terrifying to say the least, but they couldn’t stop Feng Yezi from snatching the origin dipper from Shang Xia.

.

Feng Yezi obviously heard Kou Chongxue’s threat earlier, but there was one thing Kou Chongxue would never understand. That was how difficult it was to obtain resources as a wandering cultivator with no actual background!

Kou Chongxue might carry out his threat and hunt Feng Yezi down, but with the opportunity to grow stronger right in front of him, Feng Yezi decided that it was better to obtain the origin dipper before caring about anything else.

He felt that the moment he refined the origin dipper and entered the second element Martial Dipper Realm, he might be able to find a way to escape from Kou Chongxue’s pursuit.

Feng Yezi wasn’t just confident in his own abilities. He chose to do what he had to do because of the origin dipper in Shang Xia’s hand.

Back when the origin dipper first fell into the Cloud Water Gorge, Feng Yezi sensed that it was extremely compatible with himself. In fact, it was crucial to his future cultivation.

That was the reason Feng Yezi could ignore his image as a Martial Dipper Realm expert and snatch the treasure from a junior in the Martial Extermination Realm.

Facing a Martial Dipper Realm expert, there was no way Shang Xia could actually run away!

“Fuck! This is the third time this old fart made his move on me!” Shang Xia cursed inwardly.

The first time he was attacked, Ji Wenlong arrived and extracted him from his sticky situation. Kou Chongxue appeared the next time and saved him from certain death. Now that the two of them were occupied, Shang Xia knew that he could only rely on himself.

The Abyssal Blade seemed to notice the strong emotions churning in his heart as it started to vibrate lightly. It emitted a clear hum that rose above the noise of the battle among the Martial Dipper Realm experts nearby.

𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

“That… That’s an exceptional weapon spirit!”

“I’m afraid this weapon is no weaker than Kou Chongxue’s Hidden Frost Sword…”

“It’s a pity a quarter of the blade has been damaged and lost.”

“I wonder if he will ever be able to restore the weapon…”

“It’s extremely difficult to do so.”

The last sentence ended the exchange among the Martial Dipper Realm experts who were observing the battle. It also directly shattered their imaginations where the Abyssal Blade would be fully restored one day.

Shang Xia was obviously unable to notice the conversation that went on. However, that didn’t bother him. Even if he knew what was happening, he would choose to reveal the true abilities of the weapon. After all, he couldn’t sit around and wait for Feng Yezi to kill him!

Also, there was another thing… Feng Yezi has never once looked straight at Shang Xia.

In his eyes, Shang Xia was a mere ant who didn’t know what was good for him. He could wipe this ant off the face of existence anytime he wanted.

However, a trace of irritation was rising in his heart when he made his move for the third time. The youngster who was unusually calm was starting to get on his nerves. He didn’t possess much killing intent towards Shang Xia earlier as he only cared about getting his hands on the origin dipper. Killing Shang Xia was merely something he did along the way.

Back when Yun Lu entered the battle to give him a chance to leave, Feng Yezi knew exactly what intentions they had. They wanted to use him to get rid of Shang Xia.

That might be the case, but he was willing to let the youngster go as long as he handed over the origin dipper.

After all, there was no need for him to thoroughly offend the Tongyou Institution and Kou Chongxue.

As he flew closer and closer to Shang Xia, his intention changed. A nagging feeling told him that he had to kill the Martial Extermination Realm youngster which he failed to do twice previously. He felt that he would probably regret his decision in the future if he let the youngster live.

No… He would definitely regret his decision if he allowed the youngster to leave today!

Slapping his Storm Pouch, swords and blades made from the wind appeared and stabbed straight for Shang Xia.

Facing the attack from Feng Yezi, Shang Xia came up with a third move in a fit of desperation.

The move he came up with contained all his desire to live. It contained the power to escape death just so he could live to see another day!

With the intention in mind, Shang Xia named his newest move ‘Pure Brightness’!

The wind blade and wind swords that came his way were shattered and he forcefully cleaved out a path of retreat.

Unfortunately, Shang Xia barely dealt with one attack from the Martial Dipper Realm expert. He couldn’t actually do a thing to the old man.

The space surrounding Shang Xia froze and his inner qi seemed to stop flowing through his body. Shang Xia felt his body rising into the air as a palm was pressed firmly on his chest.

As Feng Yezi injected his fate dipper into Shang Xia’s body, Shang Xia spat out a mouthful of blood despite not feeling any injuries.

Even if a Martial Dipper Realm expert was in his place and was caught off guard like that, they might not be able to survive Feng Yezi’s strike.

With a frosty expression on his face, Feng Yezi reached for Shang Xia’s chest.

As a Martial Dipper Realm expert, Feng Yezi could obviously tell where Shang Xia hid his spatial artifacts.

Lowering his head to take a look at what he was grabbing, Feng Yezi’s eyelid jumped violently.

He saw the ‘innards’ Shang Xia spat out earlier and noticed that not a trace of blood could be seen on them. Instead, it resembled a piece of broken show-white lotus root.

The body he thought he had grabbed turned into a streak of blood-red light and shot off into the distance. Feng Yezi’s hand swiped through the air while trying to grab hold of the Embroidered Cloud Case.

With his heart thumping in his chest, Feng Yezi raised his head abruptly. He looked at the streak of light that had flown out of the Cloud Water Gorge.

How the hell is he still alive?

“What type of evasion art is this?! Why does this look like a technique from those bloodline cultivators of the Azure Spiritual World?!” Feng Yezi growled. He might not know a lot about matters regarding the Azure Spiritual World, but he was no ignorant fool. He had some knowledge of the cultivators there. It was the first time he had seen an escape technique like that, but he quickly connected it to its source.

It was true that the speed given to him by the Scarlet Blood Cone would cause the majority of Martial Extermination Realm experts to despair, but Feng Yezi was no Martial Extermination Realm expert. The Scarlet Blood Cone couldn’t let Shang Xia outrun an expert like that!

When all was said and done, Feng Yezi had the guts to take part in the War of the Tongyou Mysterious World back then. If he wasn’t confident in his abilities, there was no way he would go ahead and piss Kou Chongxue off. He was more than capable of catching up to Shang Xia, but it seemed as though even the heavens was going against him after his repeated failure to kill the youngster.

With Kou Chongxue holding both Xuan Lu and Hua Lu back, Ji Wenlong went crazy in his assault on Yun Lu. Even though the 3 Deers of the Ji Continent managed to stop the Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Tongyou Institution from helping Shang Xia, they weren’t doing that well themselves. Ji Wenlong wielded the Lingxuan Space Shattering Claw and was hell-bent on destroying Yun Lu’s avatar.

One had to know that Ji Wenlong had already heavily injured the man earlier. With his injuries, Yun Lu was no match for Ji Wenlong.

Yun Lu had risked it all to give Feng Yezi an opportunity to leave the battle to obtain the origin dipper and to kill Shang Xia, but he didn’t expect Feng Yezi to be such a useless fool. He couldn’t kill a mere Martial Extermination Realm expert, and he even allowed the youngster to escape!

Yun Lu was figuratively about to explode with anger. However, Ji Wenlong turned the explosion into reality. With Yun Lu’s mind not in the right place, Ji Wenlong took the opportunity and dug the Lingxuan Space Shattering Claw deep into Yun Lu’s avatar. It destroyed whatever was left of his strength.

Ji Wenlong was no Feng Yezi. After destroying Yun Lu’s avatar, he knew what was more important. He immediately joined Kou Chongxue and targeted the strongest enemy they were facing, Xuan Lu.

Kou Chongxue took the opportunity to send a terrifying sword slash away from their battlefield.

After Ji Wenlong destroyed Yun Lu’s avatar earlier, he knew that he had two options. One of them was to head over to deal with Feng Yezi, but with his current cultivation level, he wouldn’t be able to do much to Feng Yezi who was an experienced cultivator at the Martial Dipper Realm.

Because of the fate dipper Feng Yezi had already refined, he could move a lot faster than cultivators at the same level. Even if Ji Wenlong wasn’t afraid of being done in by Feng Yezi, he might not be able to stop the man in time. The moment he allowed Feng Yezi to escape, that shameless old fellow might be able to catch up to Shang Xia.

As such, he chose the other option. With him entering the battle to exert pressure on Xuan Lu, he would give Kou Chongxue a chance to react.

Feng Yezi might be able to move quickly, but he wasn’t faster than Kou Chongxue’s sword!

The sword light Kou Chongxue unleashed caused Feng Yezi’s expression to change drastically. That was the third move Kou Chongxue developed for his Origin Yang Sword Art, the Origin Yang Forgotten Sword!

It was something he developed after getting inspiration from his attack on the White Deer Paradise. After refining his third fate dipper, he was fully able to unleash his third strike!

The moment the sword qi emerged, it split the void down the middle. It separated space on either side and made it difficult for anything from one side to cross over to the other.

Facing such a terrifying sword strike, Feng Yezi pushed his speed to the limit as he tried to avoid getting hit. At the same time, he wanted to catch up to Shang Xia to finish what he started.

No matter how much he tried to dodge through the air, the sword qi remained locked onto his position. It wasn’t aimed directly at him, but it stood firm between Feng Yezi and Shang Xia.

He could only watch as Shang Xia ran further and further, eventually disappearing from his range of detection. Not a trace of the youngster was left!
