An instinctive reaction immediately prompted Ye Feng to use Wind Treading Step. In the blink of an eye, his figure appeared several meters away, and he raised his head to coldly gaze at the person opposite him.
This individual was about the same height as Ye Feng, but a dark aura surrounded him. Such malevolent energy was something ordinary people could not perceive, but with Ye Feng's peak cultivation at the Ninth Level of Yuanwu Realm, he could easily identify that this black mist was indeed malevolent energy.
"With such a dense malevolent aura, you are not a disciple of Dragon Tiger Sect. Hmph, how dare you question me? I should be asking you who you really are!"
Just moments ago, if Ye Feng had not used Wind Treading Step, he would have been ambushed by this mysterious individual. Even if it wouldn't have been a major issue, the feeling of being ambushed was always unpleasant.
The man's cultivation seemed to be around the Yae level of Origin Martial Realm, apparently not yet at the ninth level; however, the overwhelming malevolent aura made Ye Feng wary.
"It is not for you to comment on whether I am a disciple of Dragon Tiger Sect. The altar of White Tiger Hall is always forbidden at night. You don't seem like an ordinary disciple; your cultivation is high. I will give you a chance: leave here quickly, or next year on this day will be your death anniversary!" The man's voice was devoid of emotion, like a cold machine.
Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh. After so much time spent training diligently, it seemed he hadn't had the opportunity to engage in real combat. Since entering the ninth level of Origin Martial Realm, he hadn't fought properly. Now encountering this man on a dark and windy night, if he didn't take the opportunity to fight back, it would be a disservice to himself!
Without further ado, a flash of azure light appeared in his hand as the Azure Dragon Sword manifested. Following that, dozens of sword lights shot out in quick succession!
Tide Sound Sword Technique!
Like the sound of waves crashing against the shore, the sword lights followed one after another, seemingly endless!
Ye Feng did not act recklessly; instead, he used all his True Essence to unleash Tide Sound Sword Technique. A powerful pressure instantly enveloped the area around the man.
The man's brow furrowed slightly as he thought to himself that something was wrong!
"Damn it! He is actually a disciple at the Ninth Level of Origin Martial Realm!" The man roared angrily, and then a black mist emanated from him like a center point spreading outward.
In an instant, Ye Feng felt engulfed in darkness; the black mist seemed alive as it writhed continuously. Within just a breath's time, dozens of sword lights were absorbed by the black mist.
When the mist dissipated, the man appeared completely unharmed.
What an eerie technique!
Ye Feng marveled at this; although this person's cultivation was slightly weaker than his own, why had his full-force attack done nothing?
"Good boy, you have some skill. If my guess is correct, that sword technique is derived from Tide Sound Palm. Well hidden indeed; it seems I misjudged you thinking you were just an ordinary disciple. Since that's the case, I have no choice but to kill you today."
Ye Feng glanced at him disdainfully and sneered, "Don't speak too soon. You're not an ordinary person, and this place, White Tiger Hall, is indeed filled with hidden talents. That only proves that this altar has issues."
"If you want to know everything, defeat me, and you will find out."
As soon as the man finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he suddenly produced a small blue banner in his hand. Then, he began to chant softly.
Ye Feng immediately sensed something was off, and at that moment, Xuan Lao's voice echoed in Ye Feng's mind.
"It's actually someone from the Evil Sect. Kid, go all out and don't underestimate him!"
Ye Feng nodded secretly, spreading his hands wide as he fully mobilized the True Essence within him.
Pure lightning elements surged in his hands, crackling with the sound of electricity!
"Binding Thunder Hand!"
He executed the Raging Thunder Step beneath his feet, lightning crackling in his hands. In an instant, his figure flickered to the man's side!
"Just a trivial skill!" the man scoffed.
Just as Ye Feng unleashed the Binding Thunder Hand, he suddenly realized that the paralysis effect of Raging Thunder Step had no effect on this guy.
In that split second, countless skulls erupted from the blue banner with a loud bang. Each skull opened its bloody maw and clawed towards Ye Feng.
Ye Feng gripped the Azure Dragon Sword tightly! With swift movements, he unleashed the Tide Sound Sword Technique once more.
The skulls approaching him were cut down one after another; however, for every one he defeated, more skulls emerged immediately.
Moreover, these skulls seemed to possess some corrosive property; once they touched him, they could quickly cause his skin to rot.
"This won't do. This guy relies on that blue banner to continuously produce these things. If I don't find a way to destroy that blue banner, won't I be worn down to nothing?"
Identifying the key point, Ye Feng began to think about how to resolve this battle quickly.
The man in black continued to chant spells, which Ye Feng could not understand at all. However, at that moment, a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind!
This guy needs to keep chanting spells, so his own strength should not be very powerful. If he could interrupt the chanting, there would be a moment of vulnerability during which he could deal with him. But it seemed there was only one way to make him stop chanting.
Ye Feng gritted his teeth and swung the Azure Longsword rapidly, executing the Tide Sound Sword Technique to its fullest extent, causing the skeletons in front of him to vanish one after another.
However, just as he eliminated dozens of skeletons before him, he disregarded the incoming skulls from behind and charged forward with his own body.
The man in front was momentarily stunned, surprise evident on his face. Once the skulls got close, he immediately felt a burning pain all over his body. Since he had raised his arm to protect his face while using the Raging Thunder Step to charge forward, most of the skulls collided with his arm. Particularly, his right arm was completely corroded, and blood flowed down from it onto the ground!
In just a few breaths of time while the man was distracted, Ye Feng appeared beside him, and in the next moment, the Azure Dragon Sword pierced through his heart.
"You... you..." The man clutched his chest, gasping for breath, his eyes filled with unwillingness!
"Heh heh, did you think I couldn't tell that this green banner requires you to keep chanting that damned incomprehensible spell? Let me tell you, I, Ye Feng, am afraid of death, but sometimes I'm not afraid at all. You may have heard of me; however, that doesn't matter. What matters is that as long as my sword continues to pierce forward just a little bit more, you'll be nothing but a corpse!"
"Please don't..." The man cried out in terror and then nodded repeatedly, saying, "I will tell you everything I know; just please don't kill me!"
Ye Feng clenched his right fist tightly and looked down at his arm with narrowed eyes, coldly stating, "Do you have any bargaining chips? Tell me where the mechanism to open this altar is!"
The man glanced at Ye Feng in surprise and asked curiously, "How did you know there was a mechanism here?"
Ye Feng suddenly thrust his sword forward again, causing the man to scream in agony: "I’ll tell you! The mechanism is on these stone pillars; each pillar has a white tiger's tail that serves as the mechanism. If you move them downward, it will open a passage leading below. But you'd better not go down; there's an Old Monster down there that will kill you if you go alone."
Ye Feng frowned; it seemed there was indeed someone locked up below. Could it be that Jiang Shiji had imprisoned him down there?
"Do you know who is locked up down there?"
The man shook his head and sighed: "It's not a person down there; it's a fierce beast. My master only took me there once; that thing is terrifying. Don't even mention the Ninth Level of Yuanwu Realm; even someone from Gangwu Realm might not be able to handle it."
"Who is your master?" Ye Feng continued to press for answers.
The man immediately shook his head and said: "I don’t know who he is; I’m just a small disciple of the Evil Sect. After offending someone from Sect, I was being hunted down. But halfway through my escape, I met my master who brought me here. To cover our tracks, Jiang Shiji gave me an identity as a disciple of White Tiger Hall; I usually don’t come out. Today was just a routine inspection to see if anything was happening at this altar when I unfortunately ran into you."
Ye Feng, after listening, did not hesitate to pierce his heart with the long sword!
This guy never understood, even in death, why Ye Feng would kill him without giving him a moment to react.
“Xuan Lao, can you sense what’s below?” Ye Feng asked as he simply bandaged the wound on his arm.
Xuan Lao sighed lightly and said, “To be honest, I can’t right now. However, what he said should not be wrong; there is likely a fierce beast locked up below. But don’t worry, even if that beast was powerful in the past, it is now at its last gasp. Otherwise, no one would have discovered it until now.”
Ye Feng thought for a moment and nodded, feeling that Xuan Lao had a point! However, his arm truly hurt badly, as if his bones were being corroded.
The green little banner fell to the ground. Ye Feng bent down to pick it up and observed it carefully before smiling and saying, “Is this the thing? It can emit so many skulls?”
Xuan Lao laughed heartily: “Kid, this thing is not simple. Although it’s easy to make, do you know how many souls are needed to achieve this level? I’ll tell you, for the level he demonstrated, there are at least two thousand souls inside. But strangely, the Evil Sect shouldn’t appear here at all; why is it here?”
“Didn’t he say his master brought him here?”
“Maybe. I want to see what kind of person his master is. Alright, let’s go down and see what kind of beast is locked up!”
