Chapter 499: World Creation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Du Muxiao had already been filled with thoughts of retreat as he caught the first sword just now.

In the brief encounter just now, Chen Fei displayed aspects that completely exceeded Du Muxiao’s expectations.

The Coiling Sword Technique was purely defensive, with no offense or counter-attack, just deflecting and seizing the opportunity to escape.

However, in the recent sword strike, Du Muxiao’s movements were directly halted, and he couldn’t completely deflect the force. In this situation, the idea of leveraging this force to escape became a luxury.

His graceful footwork had no room to be showcased at this moment.

Du Muxiao didn’t know how many times Chen Fei could use such an attack like the one just now, but he knew that he couldn’t continuously withstand it.

While Coiling Sword Technique might not be broken, Du Muxiao’s body couldn’t endure the accumulating force, leading to vulnerabilities.

Once a vulnerability appeared, the path to ultimate defeat would be close at hand.

Du Muxiao’s eyes kept shifting, then he heard Chen Fei’s words and saw Chen Fei’s second sword.

This sword, when first thrust, appeared identical to the first one just now. But midway through the thrust, a tremendous force, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami surging, emanated from the blade.

Du Muxiao’s eyes involuntarily widened. What kind of power was this, and how did Chen Fei possess such power?

Du Muxiao, at the First Level of Combined Apertures, had to admit that he didn’t understand how Chen Fei achieved this. It seemed utterly unreasonable.

Facing such a formidable opponent, Du Muxiao, at the Mid Combined Aperture Tempering realm, could only fight with all his might in defense. He accepted this fact because the previous information indicated that Chen Fei possessed formidable combat power.

But no matter how strong the opponent was, there should still be some basic rules, right?

What did this sword mean? Chen Fei hadn’t shown any signs of gathering strength; it was identical in appearance to the previous one. Yet, the aura had become so exaggerated.

“Ra…”

Du Muxiao’s words were cut off halfway as the Qianyuan Sword arrived before him.

Du Muxiao’s inner Combined Apertures vibrated violently, and blood oozed from his pores, as if his organs were about to burst. In an instant, his eyes turned completely bloodshot.

“Boom!”

The entire air trembled intensely, and ripples spread in all directions. The nearby islands shattered and sank into the sea.

“Puff!”

Du Muxiao spewed a mist of blood, and his spirit instantly plummeted to a nadir. The tip of the Qianyuan Sword rested by Du Muxiao’s ear.

If Chen Fei had lowered the Qianyuan Sword by a few inches, Du Muxiao would have been annihilated. With the addition of the spatial sword essence, the attack from Chen Fei’s previous strike had reached a terrifying level.

Fortunately, the Qianyuan Sword had transformed into a low-grade magical treasure. If it had still been the top-tier spiritual weapon it once was, the sword might have shattered from that previous strike.

“Boom!”

Chen Fei swung the sword horizontally, and the Qianyuan Sword’s blade struck Du Muxiao’s head. Du Muxiao’s entire body shook, and he fainted.

Chen Fei deliberately spared Du Muxiao’s life, as he wanted to investigate if there were any hidden motives behind this person who had inexplicably followed him.

Chen Fei grabbed Du Muxiao’s neck with his left hand, and with a swift movement, they both disappeared.

Half an hour later, inside a cave on one of the islands, Chen Fei casually tossed Du Muxiao onto the ground.

Du Muxiao rolled a few times on the ground and hit the wall before finally coming to a motionless stop.

“When you wake up, tell me what I want to know,” Chen Fei said, gazing at Du Muxiao with a stern voice.

Du Muxiao remained silent, appearing as if he were still unconscious.

The Qianyuan Sword trembled slightly, and a sharp, intimidating aura filled the entire cave. The chilling intent to kill completely locked onto Du Muxiao. “Sir, this is truly a misunderstanding!” f(r)eeweb(n)ovel

Du Muxiao’s eyes suddenly opened, and he weakly climbed to his feet, looking earnestly at Chen Fei.

“It seems like you don’t want to talk,” Chen Fei remained unfazed.

“It’s not that I don’t want to talk, it’s just that I…”

Before Du Muxiao could finish his sentence, his entire body suddenly let out a muffled groan, and his head tilted backward.

Within Du Muxiao’s mental realm, the Blood Demon Blade formed by his consciousness appeared dim. With severe injuries, his mental state couldn’t remain unaffected. However, at this moment, the sword light emanating from the Mirror Image Profound Slaying Sword continuously slashed at the Blood Demon Blade within Du Muxiao’s mental realm.

One sword, ten swords, Du Muxiao’s Blood Demon Blade could withstand them, but the unceasing Mirror Image Profound Slaying Sword, especially with his current severely injured state, was too much for him to bear.

In less than a moment, Du Muxiao began to moan in pain. The Blood Demon Blade within his mental realm had countless wounds, yet despite that, the sword light continued to roam freely within it.

Du Muxiao was in a daze, sensing an incredible power within Chen Fei.

Leaving aside the past, just at that moment, what was the meaning of that unceasing mental technique? We were both at the Combined Aperture Tempering Realm, yet Chen Fei’s mental technique was shattered, and yet nothing seemed to have happened.

Even before this, after observing Chen Fei for an hour, Du Muxiao thought that assassinating Chen Fei was only a matter of finding the right opportunity.

Now, Du Muxiao realized how laughable his thoughts had been, but unfortunately, there was no opportunity for him to regret.

“Wah!”

Du Muxiao spewed a mouthful of blood, and blood flowed from his seven orifices. His mental state was now on the verge of shattering, and with a little more force, it might completely collapse.

Chen Fei walked up to Du Muxiao, and their eyes met involuntarily.

Du Muxiao blinked subconsciously and looked at Chen Fei again, only to find that Chen Fei had already turned and walked away.

Du Muxiao collapsed on the ground as if reborn after the ordeal. The cold touch of the rocks gave him a strange sense of being alive.

Du Muxiao watched as Chen Fei moved away, quietly channeling a trace of elemental energy to mend his injuries.

His body was severely wounded, and his mental state had taken a heavy blow, but Du Muxiao didn’t give up hope of staying alive. As long as there was a chance, he would fight for it.

In a daze, Du Muxiao felt that his injuries had slightly improved, but he kept it hidden, revealing no sign of recovery.

Chen Fei would occasionally come to interrogate him, but Du Muxiao would only speak fabricated stories, never revealing his true identity.

It wasn’t because Du Muxiao had an unbreakable spirit, but he knew that if he disclosed the truth, immediate death awaited him.

No one would show mercy to an assassin sent to kill them. By keeping silent, Du Muxiao hoped for a chance to stay alive.

Perhaps due to his injuries, Du Muxiao had limited waking moments, spending more time in a drowsy state. Consequently, time seemed to pass quickly in his perception.

In the blink of an eye, several days seemed to have gone by, and Du Muxiao had managed to heal some of his internal injuries in the meantime.

“Boom!” 𝒇𝓻𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝙗𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Outside the cave, there was a sudden loud noise. Du Muxiao heard Chen Fei’s furious roar, and soon after, Chen Fei’s voice faded away, and the sounds of battle grew distant.

Listening carefully for a moment, Du Muxiao confirmed that he hadn’t misperceived. He quickly got up from the ground.

Using a bit of his restored elemental energy, he skillfully dismantled the restrictions set by Chen Fei, instantly regaining some of his strength.

Du Muxiao didn’t waste any time. He rushed out of the cave, and indeed, Chen Fei’s presence was nowhere to be felt.

Suppressing his sense of joy, Du Muxiao leaped into the sea. He intended to use the seawater to cleanse his aura and traces. Given enough time, even if Chen Fei returned later, he wouldn’t be able to locate him.

Du Muxiao dove deep into the water and, after several hours, emerged on an island.

He buried himself completely within a mountainside, activated a technique to restore his injuries thoroughly, and then fell into a deep slumber.

He wasn’t sure how much time had passed when Du Muxiao slowly woke up and found that his injuries had improved significantly. He had gone from a near-death state to a state of recovery.

On this uninhabited island, there was no one to disturb Du Muxiao.

With his injuries recovered to this extent, Du Muxiao’s tightly wound nerves gradually relaxed. Continuing his recovery would require a long time and medicinal pills for healing.

“Chen Fei!”

Thinking about his encounter with Chen Fei, Du Muxiao’s eyes narrowed, resembling a venomous snake, instilling fear in anyone who looked at him.

“I should return to the Death Shadow Sect. With his strength, I can’t kill him now, but there are people who can!”

A thought flashed through Du Muxiao’s mind, and he shot up into the sky, flying in the southwest direction.

After five hours of flying, Du Muxiao arrived in the Pohai Sea, landing in the city of Pohai.

Pohai City wasn’t a particularly large city in the Pohai Sea region. It was controlled by a sect with an early Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

Du Muxiao continued on his way and stopped in front of a loft in the city center. He then walked inside.

“Hi, what can I get you, sir?” The innkeeper saw Du Muxiao and warmly approached.

“Seahorse!” Du Muxiao said calmly.

“We have it, sir. Please follow me.” Upon hearing Du Muxiao’s request, the innkeeper’s smile grew even wider as he personally led Du Muxiao to the backyard.

After a while, Du Muxiao stood in a secret chamber, where a metal box was placed.

The metal box emitted a radiant glow, indicating the presence of a formation within. As long as the correct method to deactivate the formation wasn’t used, not only would the box remain locked, but its contents would be immediately destroyed, leaving nothing behind.

This loft belonged to the Death Shadow Sect, and Du Muxiao had stored something here. Now, he intended to retrieve it and then report the details of his mission to the Death Shadow Sect’s branch.

Du Muxiao stood in front of the metal box, forming hand seals. The formation on the box activated, as if it were about to explode, but soon, the radiance of the formation dimmed and then vanished.

Du Muxiao opened the metal box, took out a bottle of pills, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

However, as Du Muxiao gazed at the pills, outside the loft, or rather, beyond the sky, a vague, gigantic face looked down upon this place, seeing everything clearly.

Dream Entry Technique!

Chen Fei, like a creator, observed Du Muxiao’s actions, and a subtle smile appeared on his face..
