Chapter 410: Chapter 261: Victory, 1 Gold and 1 Silver

Yu Fei asked flatly, "Is that it? What’s next?"

"You..."

Du Kai was shocked beyond words. He had never expected this junior of his to be so fast.

Yu Fei gripped Zhanming with both hands and suddenly unleashed his power. His speed increased by another thirty percent, and the sword became a blur of afterimages.

Du Kai couldn’t keep up. In the blink of an eye, the blade was upon him. As the terrifying sword descended, Du Kai found his defenses wide open. At the precipice of life and death, he was removed from the battlefield by the power of the Grandmaster.

The situation on the battlefield grew tense. Yu Fei’s sudden outburst put everyone on high alert, and they instinctively paused their attacks.

Meanwhile, Lu Bufan seemed to have been provoked. His figure flickered across the battlefield, felling one opponent after another with a single strike. His moves weren’t flashy—his style was ancient and simple but brutally efficient as he steadily eliminated everyone nearby. No one could withstand a single blow.

"Team up! Let’s take out these two freaks first!"

A man carrying a shield suddenly roared.

"I’ll handle defense! Get behind me!"

Immediately, a number of people gathered behind him. The shield-bearing man took the lead and charged toward Yu Fei!

The rest also joined forces to attack Lu Bufan.

Yu Fei pointed a finger, and an endless torrent of Sword Qi shot out in a fan shape toward the shield-bearing man and those behind him.

The man let out a great shout as his skin took on a bluish-gold hue. A halo of light swirled over his shield, forming a massive light shield that enveloped everyone.

The immeasurable Sword Qi struck it, only to be continuously dissolved and deflected.

This light shield seemed capable of devouring Sword Qi to strengthen itself, indiscriminately absorbing all attacks regardless of their properties.

The shield-bearing man’s face was flushed. Enduring such a massive volume of attacks was a huge burden for him.

Seeing the group get closer and closer with the shield-bearer’s help, Yu Fei was inwardly surprised. ’As expected, you can’t underestimate the heroes of the world.’

’I wonder how this man cultivated to be able to form such a powerful defensive light shield. In just a few moments, at least ten thousand streams of Sword Qi have struck it. Not only has it not broken, but it’s actually gotten thicker and more solid.’

Yu Fei’s Pupil Skill had been active the whole time, so he could see the changes in the vital energy on the light shield. Every stream of Sword Qi that pierced it was devoured by the shield, and the Sword Intent contained within was ground down. As a result, his immeasurable Sword Qi seemed to be having no effect.

Conventionally, there was only one way to break this light shield: use a powerful Sword Intent to shatter the divine will protecting it.

But how to put it? This was a relative weakness of Yu Fei’s. Only in the Divine Realm could a Martial Artist significantly strengthen themselves. His Sword Intent was already quite formidable among Martial Artists of the same rank, but compared to the prodigies of the Gang Qi Realm, it was lacking by more than just a little.

The thirteen people within the light shield drew closer and closer to Yu Fei, the distance between them now no more than twenty meters. This was an extremely dangerous range.

These people were determined to get close to Yu Fei and then unleash a combined, instant-kill combo on him.

’A beautiful thought... but!’

With a thought from Yu Fei, a thousand streams of Sword Qi suddenly vanished. When they reappeared, they had pierced through the light shield and were hurtling toward the people inside.

After all, he could imbue his Sword Qi with the property of Spatial Penetration.

As his Spatial Affinity Talent had improved, the penetration distance of his Sword Qi had reached thirty meters. These people were perfectly within his unimpeded attack range.

"What?"

"Where did this Sword Qi come from?"

The shield-bearing man was struggling forward. Although his defensive Secret Technique could devour an opponent’s Qi Jin to strengthen itself, this was the first time he had encountered a barrage of Sword Qi as dense as Yu Fei’s, and the conversion process was extremely strenuous.

A large amount of Sword Qi suddenly appeared. More than half of it flew toward him. The people behind him managed to block a portion, but several hundred streams still stabbed toward the struggling, shield-bearing Martial Artist.

’It’s over!’

The instant the Sword Qi reached him, the shield-bearing man was scooped out of the arena by the Grandmaster, and his Light Shield Secret Skill was broken.

The dozen or so people he had been protecting were instantly exposed to the overwhelming torrent of Sword Qi.

Only a single man with a spear managed to resist for a moment before they were all eliminated.

The battlefield was suddenly cleared. Yu Fei felt his Qi Sea continuously replenishing, and his heart settled.

His unrestrained outburst of Sword Qi just now had depleted his Qi Sea’s reserves of Inner Qi by as much as seventy percent. But under the dual recovery effects of the Returning Ruins Spiritual Source and refining Yang Qi, countless streams of vital energy were instantly refined, and his Qi Sea refilled at a visible rate.

Yu Fei looked up and saw that Lu Bufan had already defeated most of the people attacking him.

Lu Bufan’s sword style was ancient, yet it carried an effect that seemed like fate. With every strike of his sword, he was certain to defeat one person.

Yu Fei frowned. It seemed that every opponent Lu Bufan approached became thirty percent weaker in their attacks, and some even made mistakes.

’This is a very strange phenomenon. A Martial Artist’s will should be firm, unyielding even in the face of death. Besides, this is just a sparring match, not a fight to the death. So why are they holding back? It’s as if their spirits are being suppressed.’

Yu Fei observed carefully. He discovered there was something truly unsettling about this Lu Bufan.

Feeling his Inner Qi completely restored, he didn’t hesitate for a moment and charged directly at the three people opposite him.

The group consisted of Lu Bufan and two others. His opponents’ Body Techniques were exceptional, and they managed to temporarily stall him with a variety of illusory movements and feints. However, they were clearly on the verge of defeat. As the possessor of a ’golden talent,’ Lu Bufan’s abilities were all top-tier, and he had no shortcomings. The two were no match for him.

As he closed the distance, Yu Fei changed his Finger Skill, and an immense torrent of Sword Qi immediately bore down on the three of them!

At the same time, he tagged Lu Bufan with the mark of the Fate-Reversal Pearl.
