The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

“It’s actually the ‘Six-pointed Star’ Killing Formation. The main source of damage in this formation comes from the power of the six-pointed star within the array plate and formation flags. As long as there’s a cultivator with the required qualifications to preside over it, it can unleash tremendous power.”

“It looks like the Liuyun Sect might be saved.”

Worrying about the safety of the Liuyun Sect was not because he had any deep affection for this place; rather, it was suitable for lying low. To Dong Dongqiang, this place wasn’t bad.

If it were destroyed, he would no longer have an official identity and would be unable to continue to survive incognito.

“However, the array plate of this formation is already cracked and can only be used once more. If it fails to defeat the enemy, this old ancestor will immediately escape and try to join another force to continue surviving.”

That’s what Dong Dongqiang was thinking.

In the sky.

Demon King Huyuan wore a teasing expression as he looked around.

“A formation?”

“What a joke!”

“If formations were useful, what would be the need for Demon Kings of the Spirit Sea Realm?”

Demon King Huyuan laughed heartily.

The ‘Blood Claw’ in mid-air suddenly grabbed onto the shield of the ‘Sea Covering Array’, shaking the six powerful cultivators presiding over the formation and causing them to groan, nearly spitting out blood.

Ye Feng and the Deputy City Lord stood together.

The City Lord of Sanyuan City stood nearby, frowning and said, “Sect Master Ye, do you think this formation is useful?”

Honestly, the City Lord of Sanyuan City really wanted to flee right then and there.

Ye Feng looked at Demon King Huyuan, who was surrounded by the formation, thought for a moment, and said, “The formation might be able to hurt the Demon King, but to seriously injure or kill him, the difficulty is not ordinarily high.”

City Lord of Sanyuan City: “So, should we run now?”

Ye Feng gave him a strange look and said, “If you want to run, you better hurry up now, otherwise, you won’t have a chance later.”

“Heh, I was just joking.” The City Lord of Sanyuan City’s face turned red.

Within the formation.

Qingyun Zhenren’s face was fierce: “Demon King, die for me!”

With that said, he presided over the formation, merging the light from the six powerful cultivators into one, transforming it into a fearsome blade of sword qi that slashed down.

It even contained a thread of sword intent, making it even more powerful.

Demon King Huyuan sensed that this blade of sword qi was no small matter. He crossed his arms in front of him, with vitality power forming a protective armor on his body surface to block the strike.

Rip!

The protective armor and the sword qi shattered at the same time, cutting gashes into Demon King Huyuan’s arms from which blood surged out, successfully enraging him.

“Good, dare to injure this king, break for me!”

Demon King Huyuan roared as he swung his claws, striking the formation’s shield hard enough to make it continuously tremble and nearly crack.

“Continue the attack!”

The Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect loudly reminded.

The highest cultivated Qingyun Zhenren immediately realized the situation and, once more, consumed a large amount of spirit, merging the sword intent with the sword qi of the formation, leaving a startling sword mark on Huyuan’s face.

“Very good!”

Demon King Huyuan looked at the blood sliding down from his face and became thoroughly enraged.

His arms began to inflate as the vitality around his body was withdrawn. The three fluffy fox tails behind him stretched out, and a fourth tail appeared out of thin air, transforming into a four-tailed fox brimming with muscles.

“Roar!”

The aura of Demon King Huyuan rose by at least fifty percent. His claws tore through the defense ferociously, and his terrifying might erupted, shaking the entire formation into mourning.

The Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect looked at the array plate before him and saw that the cracks were widening rapidly, eventually shattering with a “crack”.

The formation, broken!

“I hate this!”

The Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect spat out blood in frustration.

Originally, Demon King Huyuan should have been incapable of breaking through the Sea Covering Array. But the Array Plate was too damaged. After so many impacts, it was at the end of its rope, and now, it completely collapsed.

“It’s over!”

Everyone despaired.

If even the medium-sized Sea Covering Array has been broken, what else does the Liuyun Sect have to stop the Demon King’s power?

Deep underground.

Dong Dongqiang let out a sigh. “In the end, it’s the Array Plate that couldn’t hold on. This old ancestor shouldn’t have held too much hope. It looks like I need to quickly join another sect to continue surviving.”

In the sky.

Transformed into a four-tailed Demon Fox, Huyuan’s momentum was like a waterfall. With a slight tremble, six powerful experts were hit by the force, wounded all over, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

Among them, Gong Qingqiu happened to land next to Ye Feng.

“You’re not his match. Even I’m not very confident,” Ye Feng sighed, reaching out to help Gong Qingqiu. The fragrance wafted into his nose, refreshing the spirit.

“Thank you, Sect Master Ye, for your assistance,” Gong Qingqiu covered her chest, coughing violently with an ashen face as pale as snow, her eyes filled with desolation.

“Alas!”

“Six Sect Master level powerhouses took action, and yet they were defeated.”

“Is it that heaven wants to destroy our Liuyun Sect?”

On the ground, Xin Guangxuan, Lu Shanyue, and others were filled with grief and anger.

They wanted to resist.

But Demon King Huyuan was too dreadful.

Just the cascading momentum pressing down left them immobilized, unable to even retaliate. They could only watch as their opponents swept away numerous strong fighters.

“It’s you!”

A sudden explosion boomed from the sky.

Upon hearing it, everyone looked toward Huyuan, only to see him staring daggers at Ye Feng, standing beside Gong Qingqiu, with a flash of resentment in his eyes.

“Yes, quite a coincidence,” Ye Feng looked at Huyuan and cracked a smile.

“Back then, it was you who snuck underground, decapitated the Demon King’s body, severed an arm, and then used that meteor spell, destroying tens of thousands of soldiers in my Demon City. Today, I will tear you to pieces!”

The angry roar spread, astonishing everyone.

The mysterious Element Gathering Realm peak expert who had caused havoc in Demon City a while ago was actually Ye Feng?!

Gong Qingqiu, Qingyun Zhenren, Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect, Deputy City Lord of Whitefloat City, City Lord of Sanyuan City, Xin Guangxuan, Dong Dongqiang, and thousands of others present all stared at Ye Feng, hope reigniting in their hearts.

Recalling how Ye Feng had angrily beheaded two peak Demon Generals, they felt as if they had gone from despair to finding hope again, like finding a bright village after a dark and twisty road.

With Ye Feng here, there was hope!

Some even entertained this almost absurd thought.

“Turn me into pieces? I’m afraid that won’t be possible!” Ye Feng spoke.

He slowly ascended, surrounded by the complete White Bone Sword Array. His left hand held the Wind Spirit Pearl, and his right hand grasped the Five Elements Spirit Sword. Even without moving, he exuded a tremendous sense of oppression.

“What a fierce aura!” Huyuan’s gaze sharpened.

He was familiar with the Wind Spirit Pearl, after all, the last time they fought underground, Ye Feng had used this spiritual artifact.

As for the newly appeared White Bone Sword Array and the Five Elements Spirit Sword, they also made Huyuan sense something unusual, his expression turning serious.

“Sect Master Ye, how confident are you?” Yunhua Zhenren couldn’t help but ask in a serious tone.

“A tiny bit,” Ye Feng murmured.

“A tiny bit?” Everyone was baffled.

Was it so that even Ye Feng, as powerful as he was, had such a low chance of winning against Demon King Huyuan at this moment?

Could it be that we truly have no hope left?

Deep underground.

Dong Dongqiang watched Ye Feng, his pupils constricting.

“`

“It’s actually an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, and its quality is extremely high, nearly reaching the level of a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact. Add to that a sword array made purely of Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts, this person really is wealthy… In Dong Qiang’s memory, this person is called Ye Feng, just a Sect Master of the Misty Sect, a High Ranked Sect. How could he possess such extraordinary Spiritual Artifacts?”

Dong Dongqiang couldn’t understand.

Hu Yuan looked at Ye Feng with a ferocious expression.

He did not know exactly who Ye Feng was, but he only knew that Ye Feng had caused great destruction in Demon City and was the person he most wanted to kill.

“Die!”

With a roar, Hu Yuan’s figure flashed, arriving in front of Ye Feng. His terrifying claws slashed down, causing even the air to tremble.

Ye Feng’s thoughts moved, and the White Bone Sword Array bloomed like a pure, flawless flower in front of him, blocking Hu Yuan’s claws.

“Slash!”

Ye Feng’s Wind Spirit Pearl in his left hand trembled slightly, a thread of Wind Element Spirit Energy transformed into a terrifying beam of sword light, attempting to decapitate Hu Yuan, but it was dodged.

“What a sharp aura!” Hu Yuan stared at his neck in horror, where a blood mark appeared. Had he not dodged in time, he really would have been beheaded.

To be honest, Ye Feng did not expect a thread of Wind Element Spirit Energy to decapitate Demon King Hu Yuan, so right after he released that burst of energy, he had already raised the Five Elements Spirit Sword.

The Capture Five Elements Vortex suddenly erupted.

The dense Spiritual Energy nearby was drawn in, all of it enhancing the Five Elements Spirit Sword and causing it to burst forth with a terrifying momentum.

Rip!

A massive Sword Qi hundreds of meters long swept across.

Hu Yuan’s expression turned to one of shock, and he quickly dodged, but the second thread of Wind Element Spirit Energy had already transformed into a light rope that tied around his left leg, causing him to stiffen.

Rip!

The terrible sword light severed Hu Yuan’s legs, causing him to howl in pain. Looking at Ye Feng, his eyes were filled with fear and resentment.

“Hiss!”

Everyone in the Yunhua Mountain Range sucked in a breath of cold air upon witnessing this scene.

The Demon King, whom not even the Sea Covering Array could handle, had just started fighting with Ye Feng and had already had his legs cut off – it was terrifying!

“Your strength has increased again!” Hu Yuan retreated, his expression grave. He quickly operated a special Bloodline Cultivation Technique, pulling his legs back to him. Consuming a large amount of Vitality Power, he reassembled them.

“Regeneration from dismemberment?” The crowd’s expressions greatly changed.

The legs that took so much effort to cut off could actually be reattached; that was just too abnormal!

How were they supposed to fight this?

Even Ye Feng furrowed his brows.

To be honest, his sword had missed. If it had managed to split Demon King Hu Yuan’s head in two, perhaps it would have had a slaying effect.

“Right, the Scouting feature of the Spirit Beast Pavilion!”

Ye Feng suddenly remembered something and began to access Hu Yuan’s information.

[Hu Yuan: Demon King’s Body + Peak of the Element Gathering Realm]

[Talent: Regeneration from Dismemberment]

[Note: Originally a Demon King of the Three-tailed Fox Clan, he sacrificed his own flesh and Bloodline to perform the ‘Medium Four Symbols Demon Elemental Array’, merging with the Demon King body of the Giant Earth Ape to become a new life form.]

After browsing Hu Yuan’s information, Ye Feng’s eyes widened.

The fact that even the physical body could be merged was simply unfathomable.

“What a pity that I cannot discern Demon King Hu Yuan’s weakness… Oh, right, it seems that he has only achieved a Demon King level body, but his Cultivation Level is still at the Peak of the Element Gathering Realm. No wonder he is no match for me. And this seems to be Hu Yuan’s only weakness!”

Ye Feng noted this point.

If Hu Yuan’s Cultivation Level had also stepped into the Spirit Sea Realm, perhaps the mere oppressive force could have formed a strong enough shield to block the slash from the Five Elements Spirit Sword.

But Hu Yuan was not at the Spirit Sea Realm!

He only had a Demon King level body.

This battle was in the bag!

Ye Feng’s fighting spirit started surging.

Up in the sky.

“`

Hu Yuan gasped for breath.

After merging with the Demon King’s body, he possessed the talent for regeneration from severed limbs, but the problem was, his own cultivation level was still lacking, he couldn’t regenerate his limbs infinitely. After several times, he would exhaust all his strength.

By that time, he would definitely be no match for Ye Feng.

“I need the Spiritual Vein Core to break through the realm!” Hu Yuan’s expression turned cold as a Spiritual Vein Core appeared in his palm, which he bit into pieces.

This was the Core of the Spiritual Vein from Demon City.

Before setting off, Hu Yuan had personally plucked it, not wishing to use it, but encountering Ye Feng left him with no other choice.

As the Spiritual Vein Core reached his stomach, a majestic aura burst forth from within Hu Yuan’s body, his cultivation surged, and he was just one step away from reaching the Spirit Sea Realm.

“Ape-Fox Dharma Aspect!”

Hu Yuan suddenly formed hand seals, and behind him, a majestic aura soared into the skies, transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall monster with the head of a fox and the body of an ape, stepping down on Ye Feng with terrifying force.

“Capture Five Elements Vortex!”

Ye Feng wielded the Five Elements Spirit Sword, slashing downwards with a brilliant sword light, easily tearing through the Ape-Fox Dharma Aspect.

The next moment, he suddenly noticed Hu Yuan diving toward the ground.

“His target is the Spiritual Vein Core!”

Ye Feng instantly understood and pursued with the fastest speed possible.

“No good, that’s where the Liuyun Sect’s Spiritual Vein is located, quickly stop him!” The Sect Leader of Liuyun Sect rushed over without caring for his injuries.

Strong figures like Qingyun Zhenren and Gong Qingqiu also made their moves.

But they were too slow!

In the nick of time, Ye Feng used a strand of Wind Element Spirit Energy, greatly increasing his speed, then enveloped himself with the White Bone Sword Array, instantly moving thousands of meters, overtaking Hu Yuan, and landing on the ground first.

Boom!

Ye Feng’s landing on the ground caused a strong impact, creating a hundred-meter-wide crater around him, as he stood at the center of the pit, looking up at Hu Yuan descending from the sky.

“How are you so fast?”

Hu Yuan was stunned.

Before he could react, he saw Ye Feng wielding the Five Elements Spirit Sword, now like a giant vortex, slashing fiercely towards him.

Hu Yuan’s dive was too fast, leaving him no time to dodge.

At the same time, the White Bone Sword Array blossomed like a flower, stabbing into Hu Yuan’s limbs, pinning him in midair, making it even harder to evade.

Rip!

This sword strike was earth-shattering.

All anyone could see was a crescent-shaped, sharp Sword Qi shooting up from the pit, cleaving Demon King Huyuan in two from the middle, causing his brow to explode, and a dazzling light escaping far away.

That was Hu Yuan’s soul body!

At a critical moment, he decisively abandoned the Demon King’s body to save his soul.

Since it was just a soul body, Hu Yuan fled quickly, and with Ye Feng having exhausted three strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy, he couldn’t catch up and could only sigh lightly as he watched the fleeing light in the distance.

“Sigh, my speed is still lacking!”

Deep underground.

Dong Dongqiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not expecting Ye Feng to be so powerful. Despite not sensing any cultivation from him, Ye Feng had relied on many strange methods to defeat the Demon King-level Huyuan.

Looking at Hu Yuan’s fleeing soul body, Dong Dongqiang licked his lips.

“This Demon King’s soul body doesn’t seem to be at the Spirit Sea Realm level. If this old ancestor follows and uses that unique forbidden technique, I can surely devour it.”

Thinking thus, Dong Dongqiang immediately used the Earth Escape Technique to pursue.

If Hu Yuan’s soul body were at the Spirit Sea Realm level, he wouldn’t dare to chase, but since it was only at the Element Gathering Realm, and he had forbidden techniques that restrained soul bodies as well as having broken through to the Element Gathering Realm himself, this pursuit felt quite secure.

Above ground.

Ye Feng stood at the edge of the pit, looking at the Demon King’s bisected body, panting heavily.

Though Hu Yuan’s soul had fled, the Demon King’s body remained, which could be refined to extract a large amount of high-rank Spirit Blood, making for a great gain.

This battle was quite profitable!
