Chapter 61: The Hidden Trump Card

Long Feng didn’t answer and merely looked at him with a faint smile.

The truth was obvious.

He had deliberately sent the man into the back mountains. The moment this man used the poison against Ye Wuxie, a blood feud had been created.

And given Ye Wuxie’s personality, there was a very high chance he would come looking for him afterward. There was no better place for such a confrontation than the back mountains.

Because Long Feng had no intention of allowing Ye Wuxie to continue growing unchecked.

"So this is your plan?" Ye Wuxie’s eyes narrowed.

He had made many enemies in his life, but he had never met anyone who could plan like this. Even he had to admit that although Long Feng was young, he was frightening cunning.

"Plan?" Long Feng smiled. "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Ye Wuxie didn’t waste any more words. Since they were already enemies, why leave him alive?

Whoosh!

He suddenly moved from his place before his figure appeared directly before Long Feng. His fist exploded toward his opponent’s chest.

Boom!

Long Feng raised his left hand. His palm instantly transformed, and the Sky Demon Claw erupted. Five blood-red streams of energy gathered around his fingers.

Bang!

His claw directly caught Ye Wuxie’s fist. The collision produced a terrifying shockwave.

But this made Ye Wuxie’s expression changed.

"What?!"

"Heh... grow up, always same moves didn’t work again." With a evil smile, Long Feng clenched his fist.

Crack!

Long Feng’s fingers tightened around Ye Wuxie’s fist, his terrifying strength causing the bones beneath his grip to creak.

Ye Wuxie’s expression changed drastically.

He could clearly feel that Long Feng’s strength was far beyond what a fourth-level Golden Core Realm cultivator should possess.

Even his physical body, which had been tempered through countless battles, was unable to withstand that terrifying grip.

"Get away!"

Ye Wuxie suddenly circulated his spiritual energy. A powerful force erupted from his body.

Long Feng’s grip loosen and he forced to backward slightly.

Ye Wuxie immediately twisted his body and escaped from his grasp, retreating several meters before landing steadily on the ground.

He looked down at his arm. A faint red mark had already appeared around his wrist. His eyes became extremely serious.

"This isn’t possible."

A fourth-level Golden Core Realm cultivator shouldn’t possess this kind of strength.

Long Feng didn’t answer and used his own Blazing Shadow Step to make his move first this time. His body instantly disappeared.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Ye Wuxie. His claw shot towards his head, as if blast it like a melon.

Ye Wuxie’s pupils contracted. He immediately raised both arms to block.

Boom!

The moment Long Feng’s fist collided with his guard, a terrifying shockwave erupted. Ye Wuxie’s feet slid backward across the ground.

The surrounding trees shook violently. Before he could stabilize himself, Long Feng had already appeared beside him.

His left hand flashed. The Sky Demon Claw tore through the air.

Ye Wuxie’s expression changed. He immediately activated his movement technique. His body blurred and the claw passed through his afterimage.

Ye Wuxie’s figure appeared several meters away and sigh a relief.

But Long Feng didn’t stop. He turned his head and locked onto him.

There!

His eyes flashed as he stepped forward.

Boom!

The ground beneath his feet cracked as his body shot forward like an arrow.

Ye Wuxie had just appeared when Long Feng’s fist was already in front of him. His expression changed. He hurriedly raised his arm.

Bang!

The punch struck his forearm. A painful force spread through his entire body. Ye Wuxie was forced backward.

Long Feng followed closely. One punch, then claw attack and then fist, every attack was heavier than the last.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ye Wuxie continuously activated his movement technique, constantly changing his position to avoid Long Feng’s attacks.

His movements were so fast that his figure became nothing more than a series of afterimages. But Long Feng’s eyes gradually became sharper.

He was slowly getting used to Ye Wuxie’s movement technique.

He changes direction extremely quickly, but there is always a brief pause before he changes position. As long as he catch that moment...

Ye Wuxie’s figure suddenly disappeared again. A moment later, he appeared behind Long Feng. His palm shot toward Long Feng’s back.

Long Feng suddenly turned around. His left hand moved.

Bang!

The Sky Demon Claw blocked Ye Wuxie’s palm. The force of the collision spread through the surrounding air.

Ye Wuxie’s eyes widened slightly upon seeing him able to see through his movements. Before he could retreat, Long Feng’s right hand shot forward.

His fist slammed directly toward Ye Wuxie’s chest. Ye Wuxie hurriedly crossed his arms in front of himself.

Boom!

His body was sent flying backward. He crashed through several trees before finally landing heavily on the ground.

Dust rose into the air, blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.

Ye Wuxie slowly raised his head. Long Feng was already walking toward him. His footsteps were calm. There was no hesitation in his eyes, just pure chill.

Long Feng didn’t give him any chance to recover. He immediately stepped forward, his body shooting toward Ye Wuxie like an arrow.

His left hand clenched into a fist. He was going to finish this in one move. But just as Long Feng was about to reach him, he suddenly noticed a faint smirk on Ye Wuxie’s lips.

This made Long Feng’s eyes narrowed as he felt something was wrong.

Before he could react, the space above Ye Wuxie’s head suddenly distorted and a huge black vortex appeared in the sky. It looked like a black hole, slowly rotating and releasing an ominous aura. Several black chains suddenly shot out from within it.

Clang! Clang!

The chains moved like black serpents and instantly wrapped around Long Feng’s left arm.

Long Feng’s expression changed. The instant the chains touched his skin, a burning sensation spread through his arm.

Hiss!

It felt as though his flesh was being scorched by molten metal.

"What the hell..."

He tried to break free his hand, but those chains tightened around his arm.

Long Feng’s muscles tensed. For a brief moment, his movement was completely restrained and that brief moment was enough.

Ye Wuxie’s eyes flashed coldly. He immediately raised his right hand and pointed one finger toward Long Feng. Terrifying frost rapidly gathered around his fingertip.

Huuuu...

The temperature of the surrounding forest suddenly dropped. A layer of frost spread across the ground. The leaves of the surrounding trees instantly became covered in ice.

An extremely sharp killing intent erupted from Ye Wuxie’s body.

Tis made Long Feng’s pupils contracted as he sensed the threat of his life.

Without giving him any time to think, Ye Wuxie pointed his finger forward.

"Absolute Frost Finger!"

Boom!

An extremely sharp beam of icy energy shot toward Long Feng’s head.

Long Feng’s expression changed. He immediately tried to pull his left arm free. But the strange black chains tightened even further. He couldn’t break free in time.

The icy beam was already in front of him. At the last possible moment, Long Feng used his right hand to grab his sword. A powerful sword intent suddenly erupted from his body.

Buzz!

The sword trembled. A sharp aura spread throughout the forest.

"Heaven Cleaving Sword—First Form!"

Long Feng swung his sword forward with terrifying sword light tore through the air.

At almost the same moment, Ye Wuxie’s icy attack arrived.

Boom!

The sword light and the icy beam collided. A terrifying explosion erupted between them. The shockwave spread in every direction.

Trees were violently shaken, the ground beneath them cracked. Both figures were forced backward.

Long Feng’s feet dragged across the ground for several meters before he finally stabilized himself. His expression was unusually serious. A faint trace of blood was still visible on his cheek.

’That was close.’

If he hadn’t reacted quickly enough, that icy finger would have pierced directly through his head.

Fortunately, he had deliberately cultivated the Sky Demon Claw by his left hand, while leaving his right hand free. So that he could take out his sword from his storage ring at the last moment and launch a counterattack.

Long Feng stared at the strange black vortex above Ye Wuxie.

What kind of technique is that?

That black vortex and black metal chains, even his tempered physical body had felt intense pain the moment those chains touched him. This shows these strange things were probably his trump cards.

The two stood several meters apart, but neither of them attacked immediately.

Both had already revealed their killing moves. At this point, a single moment of carelessness could determine life or death.

At this level of battle, a single moment of carelessness could determine life or death.

Long Feng didn’t dare underestimate Ye Wuxie anymore. He immediately reached into his storage ring and took out a fourth-rank Energy Recovery Pill. Without hesitation, he swallowed it.

The medicinal energy instantly spread through his body. His depleted spiritual energy began recovering rapidly.

Long Feng’s eyes remained fixed on Ye Wuxie. However, his expression gradually became solemn.

Even after enduring such a fierce battle and using that terrifying technique, Ye Wuxie’s spiritual energy was still astonishingly abundant.

This opponent was much more troublesome than Long Feng had expected.

Despite fighting a Golden Core Realm opponent and then fighting him, Ye Wuxie was still able to maintain such a huge amount of spiritual energy.

The gap between them wasn’t merely cultivation.

This shows that Ye Wuxie’s cultivation was extraordinary, even he wanted to get it now.

Still, the difference in realms remained. No matter how extraordinary he was, there was almost an entire major realm separating them.
