The Ghostly Blade Sect is notorious within the Sky Abyss Empire. Although it is merely a Human-Level Sect and has faced numerous crackdowns from various righteous high-level Sects, it still stands strong, showcasing its remarkable resilience. The individuals mentioned are just Outer Sect Disciples of the Ghostly Blade Sect, and after leaving the Sect, they have lived a life on the edge, where their ordinary family backgrounds are of no concern to them.
Seeing that Second Brother was still somewhat worried, Fourth Brother felt anxious and urged, "Haven't we already killed enough Various Forces? Second Brother, if we don't make a decision soon, we will truly miss this opportunity."
"Fine, fortune favors the bold. Let's follow him!" After hesitating for a moment, Second Brother's expression turned cold as he spoke.
The two of them took off with incredible speed, closely following Ye Feng out of the city.
Not far outside the city was a lush forest covering several dozen miles. The area wasn't large, and after passing through the forest, they would reach the Mountain Gate of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Ye Feng showed no hesitation as he dashed directly into the forest.
The disciples of the Ghostly Blade Sect exchanged glances filled with excitement before swiftly following him in.
"Indeed, they followed us!"
With his Soul Thought probing, Ye Feng easily detected the two behind him without needing to look back. Once they entered the forest, there was no need for them to maintain their distance cautiously; they pushed their speed to the limit. Vital Energy surged as they shot forward like arrows released from a bow, creating a thunderous sound as they broke through the air.
The two quickly spotted Ye Feng's figure within the forest and let out sinister laughs as they accelerated even further, racing through the trees like a great roc taking flight, swiftly closing in on Ye Feng.
Ye Feng continued to move at a steady pace through the forest, seemingly unaware of their presence. This reassured the two pursuers; after all, this forest wasn't vast, and their target possessed Yuanwu Sevenfold cultivation. If he tried to escape with all his might, he might just reach safety before they could catch up and enter the area surrounding the Mountain Gate of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Even with their boldness, they would never dare to kill anyone within the vicinity of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Mountain Gate.
"You brat, it's time to die!" Knowing Ye Feng's background was extraordinary, they didn't want to waste any more time and unleashed their strongest attacks right away.
Second Brother wielded a spear with one hand, channeling his Vital Energy to its peak before launching it into the air.
Whoosh!
The spear sliced through the air, as fast as lightning, enveloped in a faint blue Vital Energy. It pierced through dozens of trees blocking its path without losing any momentum, instantly closing in behind Ye Feng.
With a loud bang, the massive rock where Ye Feng stood was shattered. The second brother felt a surge of joy and was about to step forward to check when, unexpectedly, a strange arc of sword light shot out from the dust and debris, aimed directly at his neck.
The second brother struck with both palms, using the recoil from the Vital Energy to barely stabilize himself. Beside him, Fourth Brother swiftly drew his sword and met the incoming sword light.
"What quick reflexes!" Both were astonished, not expecting Ye Feng to counterattack with a sword after dodging the spear's thunderous strike. That previous move was not random; it was his most skilled ambush technique, often resulting in unsuspecting opponents of the same rank being killed instantly by his flying spear.
Even if someone occasionally reacted quickly enough to evade such an ambush, they would still be forced off balance by the Vital Energy wrapped around the spear, making any counterattack impossible.
"This kid is a bit tricky; we should be more cautious," the second brother said darkly. As the dust settled, Ye Feng had already vanished from sight.
"What are you afraid of? Although this kid's sword technique is impressive, that sword in his hand is merely a low-grade attack Treasure Artifact. It can't compare to my High-Grade Profound Technique Lingfeng Sword. I just need to clash with him once, and I can easily sever his treasure!" Fourth Brother scoffed dismissively.
"Not good; this kid has escaped!" Fourth Brother's pupils constricted as he pointed toward a direction in the forest leading eastward. The trees there were denser and more secluded. Although it was an exceptional escape route, it also meant getting further away from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Mountain Gate.
"It seems this kid doesn't know the location of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Mountain Gate. Haha, for us, the more remote the location, the better. This way, we won't be discovered by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and won't encounter any unexpected surprises!"
Retrieving his spear with a flick of his wrist, the two resumed their pursuit, their speed soaring to its peak, reaching a level that only martial artists at the Eighth Layer of Yuan Martial Realm could achieve.
After all, they were disciples of the Ghostly Blade Sect. On ordinary days, they either evaded attacks from righteous sects or assassinated others. They excelled in martial techniques focused on speed, far surpassing other martial artists of their rank.
The three engaged in a chase deeper into the forest where weeds grew thickly and towering trees obscured visibility beyond a hundred meters. However, both had their own tracking techniques; even at nearly a kilometer apart from Ye Feng, they could still accurately gauge his movements.
The distance between the two parties was once again shortened, and Ye Feng's figure became clearly visible. Their eyes brightened, convinced that the other could no longer escape their combined attack.
At that moment, a strange voice suddenly reached their ears, sounding oddly eerie and even causing them to harbor a slight sense of foreboding.
"Indeed, in such a remote place, it should be unlikely for anyone to discover us."
What Ye Feng said echoed their thoughts, but the prey had suddenly taken on the role of the hunter, leaving them both amused and slightly wary.
Suddenly, Ye Feng halted in his tracks, spun around with a cold smile, and after a flick of his wrist, the long sword in his hand vanished without a trace. There was no expected flash of light or even a hint of sword energy.
A chill ran down their spines; the speed at which he drew his sword was so astonishing that they couldn't even discern its trajectory. In shock, they felt the hairs on their bodies stand on end.
An invisible sword technique? How is that possible?
"Be careful!" The second brother shook his spear, unleashing dozens of Vital Energy blossoms. The blossoms scattered in the wind, splitting the air and creating rippling shockwaves that shot out in all directions.
Since they couldn't see the trajectory of the sword strike, they could only use wide-area spear techniques to destroy any potential threats around them.
Fourth Brother had the same idea; he swung his long sword like a waterfall, guarding himself thoroughly. The Vital Energy within his Meridian swelled outward, forming a Vitality Shield as a second layer of defense.
The two continued to unleash their respective ultimate skills in mid-air, attempting to block what they believed to be an imminent sword strike. However, after waiting for what felt like an eternity, no sword light or energy appeared. Instead, Ye Feng stood before them with his sword cradled in his arms and a mischievous expression on his face.
"Damn it, we've been played." They simultaneously stopped wielding their weapons and glared furiously.
"I'll go first!" Having always toyed with their prey, they never expected to be outsmarted this time. Fourth Brother could no longer suppress his anger; without waiting for the second brother's response, he charged towards Ye Feng on the ground, thrusting his long sword forward.
Before the figure even arrived, the tip of the Spiral Sword Qi had already burst forth, shredding the air and radiating powerful shockwaves aimed directly at Ye Feng.
Fourth Brother rashly stepped forward, but the second brother felt something was off. Just as he intended to follow closely, an unexpected change occurred, leaving him no time to react!
Boom!
Ye Feng remained motionless in place, yet an extremely strange sword light suddenly appeared behind Fourth Brother's neck, as if someone was secretly assisting Ye Feng.
"Not good, there's danger!" Fourth Brother felt a chill in his heart. His sword momentum had already formed, and there was no way to retract it. The sword light behind him approached at an incredible speed, leaving him no time to respond.
If the sword light had come from the front, he could have clashed with his own Spiral Sword Qi. Even if it came from either side, he could have barely dodged it. But this bizarre and sudden sword light appeared without warning, directly slashing at his neck from behind.
"My life is over!" After a cry of alarm, the second brother behind him couldn't draw his gun in time to block the sword light and could only watch helplessly as the sword light pierced through Fourth Brother's Vitality Shield and sliced through his neck.
Hiss!
A spray of blood shot out.
With a thud, before the Spiral Sword Qi had completely dissipated, Fourth Brother's head rolled off his body, and he collapsed to the ground. His headless corpse slid across the ground for some distance until it finally stopped at Ye Feng's feet.
Clang! Ye Feng casually swung his sword to disperse the Spiral Sword Qi and effortlessly caught the glimmering silver sword.
"Truly worthy of being a High-Grade Mystic Weapon; it is indeed much better than my Azure Dragon Sword. Thank you."
His Azure Dragon Sword was already overburdened, with numerous spiderweb-like cracks appearing on its blade, nearing abandonment. With a new sword presented to him, Ye Feng naturally would not refuse.
Raising the Lingfeng Sword in his hand, Ye Feng said to another disciple of the Ghostly Blade Sect, whose face was ashen, "Although your spear is of little use to me, it should fetch a good price, and I happen to be in need of money lately!"
Without any flashy sword techniques, Ye Feng charged at the Ghostly Blade Sect disciple ahead and slashed down with his sword!
A burst of azure sword light shot out, cutting down trees along its path with a thunderous crash, revealing smooth cut surfaces as it instantly approached the second disciple.
The second disciple dared not show any signs of negligence; he spun his spear into a whirlwind, unleashing waves of energy to block the incoming sword light.
Bang!
With a loud roar, the second disciple felt a tremendous force surge from the sword light. His spear could no longer withstand it, and he struggled to maintain his footing, being forced back several dozen meters while leaving a long mark on the ground.
"What dense Vital Energy! This kid seems only to be at the Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level, yet his Vital Energy is so rich that even Yae warriors might not compare. I am no match for him!"
After just one hard clash, he already felt signs of internal injury. The second disciple dared not entertain any further thoughts and turned to flee.
"Good footwork; it seems you’ve done this kind of thing quite often!" Ye Feng sneered and activated the Wind Control Technique, increasing his speed to an unimaginable level, quickly closing the distance between them.
"Impossible! Your Martial Technique is even more advanced than mine!" The second disciple's face turned pale as he suddenly realized that all of Ye Feng's previous actions were merely baiting him in. If Ye Feng truly wanted to escape, neither he nor Fourth Brother would be able to catch up.
