Nighttime, Ye Manor.
The place was brightly lit and decorated, hosting a grand banquet for guests.
Ye Nantian's face was flushed with excitement, pride radiating from his features. The news of Ye Yang's remarkable feat during the day, where he defeated the family genius Peng Yue'er at the Fire God Altar using Three Moves, had spread throughout Liang City in just one day. Now, everyone in Liang City knew that the young master of the Ye Family had achieved an astonishing cultivation level of Earth Level Five.
Late at night, as the guests departed, a figure stumbled in, covered in blood, with one arm brutally severed!
Ye Nantian rushed forward, recognizing the person and urgently asking, "Hu Bat, what happened?"
Hu Bat coughed up blood and managed to utter, "The Forge was... robbed. The Zhenfang Divine Weapon Yan Zhan Blade was stolen. Second Master... Second Master is fighting those people..."
"What?"
Ye Nantian sprang to his feet, his voice sharp as he exclaimed, "Who has the guts to provoke our Fire God Clan's Forge? Zi Yu, come with me!"
"Understood!"
With a surge of Fire God True Qi, Ye Nantian's hefty body shot forward like lightning towards the direction of Ye Family Forge. Ye Yang moved even faster, quickly catching up to Ye Nantian with a few leaps.
...
In the Forge District, it was a scene of chaos.
"Everyone step aside!"
Ye Nantian rushed into the Forge and was met with a horrific sight—bodies littered everywhere. All 17 guards of the Forge had been slaughtered without exception. Many were thrown into the furnace, and a strong stench of burnt flesh filled the air.
At the edge of the Furnace, the blacksmiths lay scattered, blood pooling at the foot of the forge.
Ye Nantian frantically turned over the bodies, urgently calling out, "Ye Beichi, Ye Beichi, you mustn't be in trouble!"
Unfortunately, after searching for a while, there was no sign of Ye Beichi.
At that moment, a faint voice came from beside the furnace; it was a blacksmith who had not yet died. Ye Yang rushed over and saw that the blacksmith's arms had been brutally torn off, blood flowing profusely, his face pale and on the brink of death.
"Whoosh!"
The scorching Fire God True Qi enveloped the blacksmith's chest. The True Qi derived from the Fire God Fragment could only barely protect his Heart Vein but could not save his life.
"Young... Young Master, is that you?" The blacksmith recognized Ye Yang and managed to squeeze out a faint smile.
"Where is Second Uncle? Where did Second Uncle go? Who did this?!" Ye Yang asked urgently.
The blacksmith gasped weakly, "Second Master... Second Master chased them out. They were all dressed in black... very powerful. Second Master was also injured... injured..."
"Ah!"
Suddenly, the blacksmith let out a loud shout as his body swelled up. In the next moment, flames erupted from within him, and with a loud bang, this living person was instantly blown apart and burned to Ashes!
Ye Yang stood there in a daze, the Fire God True Qi instinctively forming a barrier to disperse the explosive energy and debris. Yet inside, he was filled with guilt and helplessness; the Forge had been slaughtered while he felt powerless to help.
Ye Nantian stared intensely at the remains of the blacksmith, gritting his teeth as he growled, "This is the Blazing Flame Spell! Heavenly Kill! Who is targeting my Ye Family?!"
Blazing Flame Spell, one of the unique skills of the Fire God Clan, injects a large amount of fire energy into the human body, causing explosive combustion. Such a ruthless technique is rarely used.
Ye Yang did not speak; his figure swept out of the Forge. Outside, the cold wind howled as he grabbed a burly man and demanded, "Where did that group of people go?"
"What... what people?" The man was terrified and at a loss.
"The murderers! Where did they go!!"
"I... I saw a group carrying a box heading towards South. They should have already left Liang City..."
After the man finished speaking, he realized that the young man had already vanished, leaving only a fleeting shadow in the quiet evening breeze.
...
In the pitch-black night, a carriage Breaking Wind rushed by. The driver cracked his whip, lashing the two fierce warhorses until their skin was torn and they galloped forward foaming at the mouth.
Inside the carriage, two men with serious expressions wore black tight-fitting outfits, with four golden star patterns floating above their chests, indicating their status as fourth-level powerhouses.
"This time, we have obtained the Rock Cleaving Blade. Hmph, I believe the Ye Family has reached its end!" one of the men said with a cold laugh.
The other man smirked and said ominously, "It's a pity that Ye Beichi, the number one Master Smith in Liang City, managed to escape. Otherwise, we would have uprooted the Ye Family Forge from Liang City this time!"
"What do you think the young master will reward us with this time?"
"I don't know; maybe it will be beautiful women again. Haha, those two Western women from last time were indeed quite charming." The man licked his lips, looking unsatisfied and not continuing further.
At that moment, a sharp howl suddenly pierced the sky, and two steeds simultaneously raised their front hooves, letting out a mournful cry.
"Bang bang..."
With two muffled sounds, the warhorses collapsed to the ground in a pool of blood.
"What happened?"
Two men leaped out of the carriage, only to find a young man standing imposingly in the open space, holding a dark sword. Dressed in white, he appeared quite refined.
"Ah? Young Master Peng Cheng?"
The two men immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Young Master, why have you come personally?"
Peng Cheng, an outstanding expert from the Fire God Clan and the Peng Family, possessed unfathomable cultivation. It was rumored that he was far superior to Peng Yue'er, and no one had ever seen him take action, as he never revealed his strength in public.
Looking at his subordinates, Peng Cheng smiled slightly. "Have you obtained the items?"
"Yes!"
The two men took a large iron box from the carriage and said, "Young Master, the Rock Cleaving Blade is inside. We heavily injured Ye Beichi and also killed over thirty members of the Ye Family Forge!"
"Well done!" Peng Cheng said with a faint smile. "To accomplish so many complicated tasks in such a short time truly lives up to your reputation as the Twin Demons of Wufeng Workshop!"
"Hehe, we dare not make any mistakes with what you entrusted to us!"
The two individuals were the Wufeng Twin Demons, two formidable experts from the Martial Arts Emporium. One of them looked up at Peng Cheng and said, "Young Master, now that you have taken charge of the Martial Arts Emporium, you need to make a good impression in front of the clan leader. The Ye Family Forge will surely vanish, and the Peng Family Forge that you establish will undoubtedly replace the Ye Family Forge's position in Liang City!"
Peng Cheng's face twisted with rage as he clenched his fists and coldly replied, "I have no interest in forges. Hmph! Ye Yang actually harmed Yue'er today. How dare he touch my woman? I will uproot the Ye Family and destroy the Ye Family Forge. This is just the first step of my plan. Although the cost is high, once the Ye Family loses its forge, it will be nothing!"
One of the Twin Fiends laughed and asked, "Young Master, what do you want us to do next?"
Peng Cheng looked at the two kneeling before him and suddenly grinned maliciously. "You no longer need to do anything. Next, I will borrow your remains for a use!"
"What?! Young Master, what are you saying..." The two were horrified.
Peng Cheng laughed loudly and suddenly attacked. He soared into the air with arms wide open, his imposing aura overwhelming the two fourth-level experts who could not resist!
"Whoosh!"
Two fierce flames descended, and the Wufeng Twin Demons let out piercing screams as they were burned to a pulp. Minutes later, only remnants remained, with blue smoke rising and a strong burnt smell lingering in the air.
Peng Cheng opened an iron box to reveal a gleaming broadsword inside—it was the Rock Cleaving Blade, the crystallization of Ye Beichi's hard work and his most prized creation!
"Rustling..."
As the wind blew through the fallen leaves, only the bodies of the Wufeng Twin Demons, the coachman, and two steeds remained on the path. All that was left was an empty box; as for the Rock Cleaving Blade, it had long since vanished.
...
About a quarter of an hour later.
"Wow!"
A strong wind swept by as Ye Yang gracefully landed in front of the carriage. Looking at the corpses on the ground and the empty box, his heart tightened; he was still a step too late!
Upon examining the remains of the two bodies, he noticed that each corpse had four golden stars beside it, which made Ye Yang's heart race. Two Earth Level Four experts were killed just like that? Moreover, there wasn't even a trace of a struggle at the scene!
Casting a cold glance at the two bodies, Ye Yang bent down to pick up the eight golden stars, cradling them in his palm. With a low shout, flames surged forth as Fire God Fragment True Qi instantly melted the golden stars. Then, Ye Yang spread his palms wide, True Qi surging powerfully, and suddenly, flames erupted around him, quickly incinerating the two bodies completely.
At that moment, Qin Fang's voice echoed in his mind: "Ye Yang, what are you doing? Why are you destroying the bodies?"
Ye Yang's deep-set eyes were filled with calm as he replied, "Grandpa Qin, these two must be the ones who broke into my family's Forge to steal the Rock Cleaving Blade. However, they were killed here, which means they were eliminated to cover up their actions. Since that's the case, the other party might pin their deaths on the Ye Family. Keeping their bodies won't help us find the real culprit; after all, they are just servants."
Qin Fang nodded in approval: "So what do you plan to do? Will you continue investigating?"
"No, I have already figured out most of it."
"Oh? What will you do then?"
"I'm going to find Uncle Beichi; he is still missing."
"Alright!"
Ye Yang swiftly left the scene and dashed down a forest path. However, he hadn't gone far when suddenly a dazzling red light burst from the ground, carrying earth-shattering energy. It slowly coalesced into a woman's figure—exquisite and enchanting—draped in a flowing red ribbon. The thin veil could not conceal her icy beauty, and her blood-red eyes fixed intently on Ye Yang.
"You little brat, I've finally found you!"
The woman's voice was sharp and piercing, like thunderclaps, as she glared at Ye Yang, her skirt billowing as if she were a witch from hell.
"Who are you?!"
Ye Yang suddenly halted, nearly stumbling into her embrace. However, this witch was tall, with a curvaceous figure that made the thought of falling into her arms seem not so bad.
"Who am I?"
The witch raised an eyebrow in anger and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. You killed my Little Fire, and today you will pay with your life, you little brat. Prepare to die!"
As she spoke, the witch spread her fingers wide, and an overwhelming force surged forth. The world around them changed color, and starlight flowed between her fingers, dazzlingly bright, making her appear like a fairy wielding Divine Power, her beauty beyond compare.
Ye Yang quickly stepped back several paces, letting out a low growl as countless Fire God Fragment True Qi surged through his body, instantly elevating his power to its peak. This woman's strength was definitely not to be underestimated; he felt a threat of death looming over him. Although he had already reached Earth Level Five, Ye Yang clearly sensed that his power was far inferior to hers!
At that moment, a blue light suddenly shot out from the Cosmic Bag at Ye Yang's waist. It was Qin Fang, now taking on human form, clad in a blue robe with palms slightly open. Starlight swirled rapidly between his fingers, exuding an aura that was terrifyingly strong and not at all weaker than the witch's!
"What... what kind of power is this?" Ye Yang exclaimed in shock.
Qin Fang's voice came through: "Zi Yu, this is the power of Stellar Realm warriors, a level above Earth Realm!"
"Heavens!"
Ye Yang's mind was somewhat muddled. There are levels above Earth Realm?
Seemingly sensing Ye Yang's confusion, Qin Fang continued, "That's right. Earth Realm draws upon Earth Power as its source. After reaching Earth Level Nine and breaking through again, one enters Stellar Realm. Not only can you harness Earthly Power but also Starlight Power; the difference in strength is incomparable!"
Ye Yang had already realized that Peng Feng was at Earth Level Nine, and the feeling he gave off was extremely oppressive. However, the power of Qin Fang and the Witch in front of him made it almost impossible for him to breathe; the sense of pressure from that power was simply terrifying!
……
Watching Qin Fang suddenly fly out, the Witch seemed unfazed. She raised her delicate eyebrows and lightly parted her red lips, saying, "Who is this wandering ghost? Do you dare to block my path? Are you looking to die?"
Qin Fang stared at the Witch and sneered, "Little girl, if I'm not mistaken, what you're practicing is the Soul Technique, right?"
"Oh, so you know your stuff!"
The Witch suddenly laughed, a grin that was somewhat ferocious yet stunningly beautiful. With one arm raised, countless blood-red lights gathered with a whoosh into a long spear of light aimed at Qin Fang as she smiled and said, "No matter who you are, get out of my way immediately, or you'll accompany that kid to his grave!"
Qin Fang's expression remained calm as he replied lightly, "Why do you want to kill this kid?"
"He killed my Little Fire. Shouldn't he die for that?"
"Little Fire?!"
"That's right, the little one under the Fire God Altar!"
Ye Yang was shocked and pointed at the woman, saying, "You mean— that Fire Serpent?"
"Hehe, so you've admitted it? Then prepare to die!"
The Witch stirred her energy, and Ye Yang could clearly feel the vastness of that power. Even if he increased the strength of his Barrier Wall tenfold or even a hundredfold or a thousandfold, it would absolutely not hold up!
Qin Fang stood motionless, suddenly shouting loudly as he spread his palms. Countless Starlight Powers gathered and swiftly formed a Bagua light shield. He looked at the Witch and coldly smiled, saying, "Little girl, when I entered the Stellar Realm, you didn't even know where you were. Come on, let me show you what the true Stellar Realm is!"
The Witch was furious and thrust her spear forward with great force.
"Ha!"
Qin Fang confidently moved the Heaven and Earth Light Shield forward while his right palm subtly flicked, instantly revealing a golden rope.
"Bang!"
The luminous spear collided with the Heaven and Earth Shield, creating an explosion-like impact. The fierce Starlight Power surged outward, uprooting ancient trees and sending dust flying. The entire small forest was almost flattened in an instant, while sparks of starlight fell from the sky, replenishing both of their powers.
Ye Yang stood behind Qin Fang, protected by the Heaven and Earth Shield, yet still felt the overwhelming force shaking his body and soul. A sharp pain throbbed in his head, a sign of soul damage!
However, it wasn't serious. Thanks to Qin Fang's teachings in the Refined Realm continuously refining Ye Yang's Soul Power, otherwise this shock might have shattered his soul.
"Ha!"
Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary weakness, Qin Fang threw his left hand forward, and a golden rope shot through the air, quickly binding the Witch tightly.
The Witch was enraged and struggled desperately. Her skirt billowed around her as she seemed to go mad but could not break free. The contours of her body were increasingly accentuated by the rope, outlining her perfect figure. Furious, she shouted, "Old man, what kind of being are you to know the Ancient Magic Technique—Celestial Binding Rope?"
Qin Fang smiled lightly: "Don't joke; this move was originally created by me!"
"Hmph, truly shameless!"
The Witch's expression turned cold as she suddenly bit her red lip, causing drops of blood to fall, splattering onto her ample snowy cleavage. At the same time, her power surged dramatically!
With a loud bang, the golden ropes shattered into countless energy fragments, just like that!
However, before the Witch could react, Qin Fang shot forward like lightning and struck her chest with a heavy palm!
"Poof!"
She let out a muffled groan and was sent flying backward, severely injured.
Ye Yang was overjoyed: "Grandpa Qin, you're amazing!"
Unfortunately, Qin Fang shook his head with a smile. His once vibrant face suddenly appeared withered. He said softly, "Ye Yang, this woman is too powerful. I've exhausted most of my Soul Power and can no longer help you. You should escape quickly..."
As he spoke, Qin Fang transformed into a beam of white light and flew into the Divine Dragon Cauldron, disappearing just like that.
"Uh?"
Ye Yang was on the verge of madness. With Qin Fang gone, how could he possibly deal with the Witch? The gap between them was simply too vast; Ye Yang couldn't even defeat someone at Earth Level Six, let alone a Witch of Stellar Realm level—there was an absolute chasm between them!
Without hesitation, he broke through and ran forward, feeling the wind at his feet. A glance around revealed that the previous jungle had vanished; the foot of Azure Peak Mountain had turned into a wasteland. The power of the Starry Sky Expert was truly astonishing!
After running frantically for about three minutes, he had covered several kilometers.
Ye Yang felt his heart pounding violently. When he turned around, he was instantly terrified to see a beautiful figure, Ling Kong, flying closely behind him, coldly staring at him with a sinister smile. Who else could it be but the Witch?
"You little brat, this time you can't escape!"
The Witch suddenly opened her five fingers and grabbed Ye Yang's arm, lightly laughing, "You killed my Little Fire, so you have to come back with me!"
"What?!"
Ye Yang was shocked and retaliated with a powerful punch aimed at the Witch's neck.
"Thud..."
A spark flew off as if a moth were drawn to the flame; his Earth Level Five strength couldn't inflict any harm on the Witch at all!
"Hmph, don't even think about struggling!"
The Witch wrapped her arms tightly around Ye Yang and let out a sharp scream. With a few leaps, the scenery around them rapidly receded, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at Liang City.
