Chapter 483: The Plot Unravels
Shang Xia actually unleashed his blade on a Martial Dipper Realm expert!
He definitely gave it his all, but in no way did Shang Xia expect to kill his target. That was because he understood that he didn’t have the qualifications to harm a Martial Dipper Realm expert, even with a divine weapon in hand.
The only reason he sent out the blade strike was to give him a better chance at survival!
He wanted to attract the attention of the other Martial Dipper Realm experts and he was praying that it would be enough to scare his opponent away.
The power contained in his strike displayed his strong will to live!
Even though the power contained in his second move, Grand Ignite, was stronger than his first move, Awakening Lightning, he still chose the latter.
The rumbling of lightning tore through the lands and a massive spatial tear ran through the area Shang Xia’s blade light approached. Not even the chaos that was going on above could hide the commotion Shang Xia had caused.
The attention of the Martial Dipper Realm ancestors from the two factions was quickly drawn over.
“Huh?”
“What?! Feng Yezi?!”
“God damn it! It has to be him!”
The Martial Dipper Realm ancestors communicated with each other in an instant and several horrifying pressures descended from above.
When Shang Xia unleashed his blade strike earlier, Fen Yezi knew that he wouldn’t be able to retrieve the origin dipper silently under the eyes of those Martial Dipper Realm ancestors up there.
With his treasure flying away because of what Shang Xia had done, a trace of anger and embarrassment filled his heart. He wanted to deal with Shang Xia, the asshole who caused it all.
“Damn junior! How dare you plot against me!” Feng Yezi yelled while extending his withered hand that was covered in a layer of dry and dark skin. The lightning that came with Shang Xia’s blade light was scattered in an instant. That wasn’t all. When the blade light arrived, he casually tapped it with 3 fingers. Every time he tapped the blade light, Shang Xia could feel the actual blade trembling in his hand. Also, a portion of the power contained in his strike would disappear.
When the third tap landed on the blade light, Shang Xia felt that more than 90 percent of the energy contained in the blade light had been destroyed. The rest scattered by itself after smashing into Feng Yezi’s palm.
Naturally, an exchange at that level happened in the blink of an eye.
Feng Yezi’s arm didn’t stop there. It continued to reach for Shang Xia. As he did that, a pouch flew out from his other sleeve and went straight for the origin dipper. His intentions were clear.
Shang Xia had once thought about the difference between himself and a Martial Dipper Realm expert. No matter how much he tried to overestimate the difference in their strength, he realized he had downplayed it now that he was facing a Martial Dipper Realm expert for real.
He released Awakening Lightning earlier with all his might. Even so, it was nullified by the other party with 3 simple taps. Also, that wasn’t all. Shang Xia felt as though a huge calamity was about to befall him as Feng Yezi’s hand stretched over. No matter how desperately he retreated, the arm seemed to be able to pass through space itself to appear right before him. It didn’t matter how he tried to dodge as the arm was still reaching for him.
Despair started to set in Shang Xia’s heart when he realized that there was no escape. However, Shang Xia wasn’t one to give up all hope when the situation seemed bleak. Circulating his inner qi, he got ready to send out his final blow with his Abyssal Blade.
Before Shang Xia could gather his energy, a soft snort boomed through the air. It seemed to come from a distant land, but the voice that came soon after seemed to appear in the vicinity of the Cloud Water Gorge. “Feng Yezi. you’re a Martial Dipper Realm expert at the end of the day. You failed to scam a junior and tried killing him after he saw through your act. Hmph, you’re an embarrassment for those in the Martial Dipper Realm!”
A boundless divine perception descended and shattered Feng Yezi’s attempt to grab Shang Xia.
At the same time, Shang Xia heard a low voice ringing beside him. “Earth Dragon’s Reversal!”
The origin dipper that Feng Yezi had set his sights on disappeared the next instant.
Naturally unable to accept what had just happened, Feng Yezi slapped his pouch and a horrifying amount of energy poured out from within. A massive howl seemed to tear through space and it caused the skies above to tremble violently.
The exchange between 2 Martial Dipper Realm experts caused the space in the region to fluctuate violently. Spatial cracks appeared before reforming quickly. The origin dipper they were fighting over fell through one of them and disappeared the next instant.
“You… It’s you?!” Feng Yezi roared angrily after seeing the person who came. “Don’t tell me your Tongyou Institution has also been eyeing the Abyssal Sect’s inheritance?”
Ji Wenlong spoke slowly in response. “I only came here to save someone.”
A sneer appeared on Feng Yezi’s face all of a sudden. “Heh, do you really think you’re qualified to do that? You’re just a newly ascended Martial Dipper Realm cultivator whose true body isn’t here. Who gave you the courage to try to stop me?”
Earlier, Shang Xia thought that he would be in serious danger. He didn’t think that anyone would help him at the final moment.
The instant he heard the voice earlier, he recognized the expert who had come to his rescue. Also, the moment Ji Wenlong’s divine perception arrived, the feeling of suffocation he had because of Feng Yezi’s aura subsided.
Several hundred feet away from Shang Xia, the heaven and earth qi started to condense to form Ji Wenlong’s figure. It seemed as though it was his physical vessel for him to better unleash his divine perception.
When he arrived, the dust cloud caused by the falling rocks from the Abyssal Secret Region was blown away. The Cloud Water Gorge’s appearance was finally revealed for all to see.
Ji Wenlong’s voice came once again. “Feng Yezi, you acted against my Tongyou City in the past and we haven’t held you accountable for it. Now, you dare to show yourself in this part of the world again. Aren’t you afraid that our patriarch will personally seek you out to have a nice chat?”
A look of shock appeared on Feng Yezi’s face and he swept his divine perception all around. After looking around, he heaved a sigh of relief and the suspicion he had earlier disappeared. “Haha, as long as Kou Chongxue doesn’t come personally, I have nothing to be afraid of even if you work together with everyone up there!”
Ji Wenlong gestured slightly for Shang Xia to leave, and Shang Xia was obviously unwilling to be caught between two Martial Dipper Realm experts. He started to run in another direction to leave the Cloud Water Gorge.
Not too long after he left, he felt terrifying fluctuations in space. Feng Yezi and Ji Wenlong’s battle had begun!
Shang Xia understood that Ji Wenlong was probably not a match for Feng Yezi. Ji Wenlong only sent a projection over while Feng Yezi was there personally. Luckily, Ji Wenlong’s main goal wasn’t to defeat Feng Yezi. He was there to buy as much time as he could for Shang Xia to run away from the Cloud Water Gorge.
As he was running, Shang Xia realized that he had underestimated the strength of the shockwaves that were produced in a fight between Martial Dipper Realm experts. When he arrived at the edge of the Cloud Water Gorge, a heart-chilling blast filled the skies. A giant mushroom cloud rose into the skies as spatial cracks started to extend in all directions at a frightening speed.
Shang Xia released his extermination origins at once to defend himself against the spatial cracks that were starting to appear around him.
Surprisingly, a ball of light emerged from one of them. The item that emerged was precisely the ball of origin dipper that the two experts were fighting over earlier!
Even if Shang Xia was beaten to death, he wouldn’t believe that things could be so damn coincidental.
The ball of light appeared within his reach, but only indifference remained in Shang Xia’s heart. He tried to turn to run in another direction.
It was a shame Feng Yezi detected the ball of origin dipper before Shang Xia could fully turn his body.
He was still caught up in a battle with Ji Wenlong in the middle of the Cloud Water Gorge. He had the upper hand in the fight, but he clearly couldn’t extract himself from the battle in a short amount of time.
“Brother Yun Lu, how long do you have to wait? I’ll owe you one if you do it now!” Feng Yezi yelled in annoyance. It seemed as though he was forced to make the voice. The origin dipper was too important to him and he had to obtain it no no matter what.
“Alright.” A voice emerged from the voice and paused in the air slightly. A strange antler-like weapon appeared in the air and stabbed straight for Ji Wenlong.
Ancestor Yun Lu of the White Deer Sect finally showed himself. Another Martial Dipper Realm expert was added into the mix in the Cloud Water Gorge.
Yun Lu seemed to be waiting for a chance to attack earlier. Now that Ji Wenlong was suppressed by Feng Yezi, his stab in the back was a perfect example of a sneak attack.
Caught by surprise, Ji Wenlong’s avatar which was created from heaven and earth qi had half his shoulder torn off.
Even though he managed to restore his body, Yun Lu had already gained the upper hand. The pressure he put on Ji Wenlong was much more intense than Feng Yezi.
The second Yun Lu made his move, Feng Yezi managed to shake Ji Wenlong off. His body tore through the void as he disregarded the violent spatial fluctuations.
When Feng Yezi was making his way to the origin dipper, Shang Xia hadn’t run too far away. After taking a few more steps, Shang Xia discovered that the space around him was distorted. Someone was acting in the dark to force him to prance about near the origin dipper!
The moment Feng Yezi arrived, there was no way he would let Shang Xia off! The expert behind the scenes was clearly placing him in the way of danger!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye when Shang Xia was cursing the person messing with him. Feng Yezi didn’t take long to arrive and he was in Shang Xia’s face before anyone could react.
Shang Xia could even clearly see the indifference in Feng Yezi’s eyes when he appeared. Once again, he casually swiped at Shang Xia without paying him too much attention after. He was more focused on the origin dipper that wasn’t too far away.
To Feng Yezi, Shang Xia was an ant he could kill any time he wanted! His real goal was to obtain the origin dipper.
A shrill cry from a sword caused the heavens and earth to tremble and the look of indifference in Feng Yezi’s eyes vanished. It was replaced with a look of utter fear.
Sword lights rained down around Shang Xia and shattered Feng Yezi’s intent to kill him as the Hidden Frost Sword descended from the void.
Kou Chongxue! Kou Chongxue had arrived!
His name alone seemed to contain an endless amount of majesty, and with the arrival of the Hidden Frost Sword, the entire region fell into silence. It was as though the world itself was getting ready for his arrival.
Feng Yezi no longer cared about the origin dipper once the Hidden Frost Sword appeared. Instead, he became extremely serious and prepared for what was about to come next.
A strand of divine spirit emerged from the Hidden Frost Sword and it tore through layers upon layers of space like it was peeling back a piece of onion. A massive spatial tunnel that stretched across an unknown distance was created.
Two strong spatial fluctuations appeared in the space around them now that the Hidden Frost Sword had arrived. The divine perception of 2 Martial Dipper Realm experts descended from different directions and seemed to reach some sort of cooperation with Feng Yezi. Feng Yezi and the 2 new divine perceptions surrounded the Hidden Frost Sword.
Heaven and earth qi tore through the lands as 3 new figures appeared in the Cloud Water Gorge. One of them stood directly on the Hidden Frost Sword and it was none other than the patriarch of the Tongyou Institution, the Madman of the You Continent, Kou Chongxue!
He glanced at Feng Yezi and the other two as the corners of his lips curled upwards. “This is a lot of effort to bait me over. Don’t tell me you did all this to kill a mere avatar of mine?”
