Chapter 1579 (Raw 1561): Easy Counterkill
When Wei He clearly saw the Tianyi Sect"s group, he nodded and said, "They are indeed the Tianyi Sect"s disciples. That girl should have just refined some Baleful Yin Energy not long ago. Furthermore, that Baleful Yin Energy is of pretty good quality. All the Baleful Yin Energy that we previously absorbed cannot compare to it."
"However, the Tianyi Sect"s people are not easy to deal with. This is especially so for that Ye Bai. He is someone that even three Primal Core Elders think highly of."
"Indeed, out of so many people, that Ye Bai is the only one whom that old man chatted with for a while."
"Should we attack?"
The five hesitated somewhat. After all, while they were ruthless, they were not stupid.
Losing out on the prize, along with what they had, was not something that they were willing to do.
Just as everyone was hesitating and even considering giving up, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Lotus Sect Temple"s Feng Yun.
Feng Yun said, "There is no need to tie yourselves into knots. No matter how powerful that Ye Bai is, he is just a Veritable Essence Stage cultivator. How strong can he be? At that time, we just need two people to delay him. The other three can deal with Luo Nan and that girl.
"After we"ve dealt with the other two, the five of us can deal with Ye Bai together. By then, it will be easy.
"Furthermore, Brother Wei He already said, the quality of the Baleful Yin Energy that girl absorbed is very high. Why shouldn"t we take the risk?"
Feng Yun came out with a string of reasons, tempting the other four.
After some deep thought, Wei He said, "That Ye Bai is truly incredible. However, if we attack suddenly, just like we did to Bai Feng and Liu Ye, there is still a very good chance."
Soon, the five suggested some methods and started discussing the plan.
The Lotus Sect Temple"s Feng Yun revealed a smile.
"Since we"ve already made our decision, then there cannot be any gaps in the details of our plans," the Flying Cloud Mountain Manor"s Tuoba Lang said coldly.
Wei He nodded. "Brother Tuoba is right. Otherwise, if we leave any future trouble, it will be problematic for us."
"I feel that we should do it this way…"
---
As Xiao Chen"s group of three walked out of the chasm, they did not know that someone was already targeting them.
"Senior Brother Ye Bai, truly many thanks, indeed. Unexpectedly, I, Fei`er, would have such a day."
After refining an entire clump of Baleful Yin Energy, Fei`er was exceptionally happy.
"You are too polite."
Xiao Chen did not think much of it. After all, he could not use the thousand-year-old Baleful Yin Energy, and coincidentally, he could give it to someone who needed it.
After Profound Yin Island, Xiao Chen would be leaving very soon. By then, he would no longer interact with everyone.
Xiao Chen still needed to go to the Profound Light Great Realm and ask around for information. At the very least, he had to figure out where Ancestor Dragon City was.
Actually, Luo Nan"s opinion of Xiao Chen was already much improved. However, when he saw his junior sister consider Xiao Chen important, he felt unhappy from jealousy.
"Let"s go, let"s go. There"s no need to say so much." Luo Nan forcefully interrupted the two.
"Hey?"
Xiao Chen stopped walking and raised his head, looking in front.
"What"s wrong?" Fei`er quickly asked.
"Hahahaha! Brother Ye Bai, Brother Luo Nan, and Miss Fei`er, we meet again."
Just at this moment, Wei He led the other four in his group to appear before the three. "What a coincidence! As the saying goes, "It is a small world." We meet again," Wei He said with a smile, pretending to be happy.
Luo Nan had always been unhappy with this Wei He. Seeing the other appear so happy disgusted him.
I"m not that familiar with you, yet you are smiling like a blooming flower. Who are you performing for?
Xiao Chen replied with a smile, "Indeed. It is rather coincidental. It looks like Brother Wei He already found partners."
There was a saying, "One does not extend one"s hand to strike a smiling person." Xiao Chen was well aware of how to put on a superficial appearance.
"Right, right. Let me make some introductions." Wei He said warmly, "This is a brilliant disciple of the Lotus Sect Temple, this is the Flying Cloud Mountain Manor"s Tuoba Lang, and this is the Flying Snow Palace"s Young Master Yan."
"I have long heard of Young Master Ye"s great name. Brother Ye Bai, how about we travel together? We just discovered some Baleful Yin Energy, but the ferocious beasts guarding it are somewhat hard to deal with," the Lotus Sect Temple"s Feng Yun suggested as he gave Xiao Chen a sincere look.
Fei`er immediately felt tempted by the proposal. Xiao Chen happened to need Baleful Yin Energy.
Just as Fei`er was about to say something, Xiao Chen projected his voice to the ears of Luo Nan and Fei`er: Do not show any changes in your expressions. Get ready to attack. Don"t ask too much. This group of people is preparing to kill us. Do not show any mercy.
Xiao Chen did not like Wei He in the first place. Wei He"s sudden appearance made him doubt that it was a coincidence. Now that Wei He"s side extended an invitation, Xiao Chen was sure that Wei He"s group was planning to kill them.
One clump of Baleful Yin Energy was already spread thin when shared by five people. Yet, they were planning to add three more?
How could there be such a good thing?
I understand. The sight of this group upsets me in the first place, Luo Nan replied in secret. He felt somewhat excited. This was his first time entering the real world and experiencing such a thing.
What?! With Xiao Chen"s reminder, Fei`er was quickly startled to her senses as well. Then, she demanded angrily, How can these people be so vicious in their thinking?
After so many days of interaction, Fei`er had already come to believe in Xiao Chen unconditionally.
Fei`er was not stupid, either. After she calmed down and thought for a moment, she understood that something was off with these people.
Later, listen to my instructions. I"ll kill Wei He first. With the two of you working together, that Tuoba Lang should not be able to block you.
As for Feng Yun, he was someone that Xiao Chen needed to kill. However, Xiao Chen still had some uses for him and would not make him the first target to be killed.
The three quickly discussed and soon came up with a countermeasure.
Wei He and the others were undoubtedly up to something.
Feng Yun continued, "Brother Ye, are you not going to give us any face? We are very sincere about this."
Xiao Chen nodded and casually took a step forward. Then, he performed a cupped-fist salute at Wei He and said, "Sorry, Brother Wei Ye, we are going to have to turn down your kind intentions."
Wei He smiled and said, "It"s fine, it"s fine. Brother Ye is too polite. If there are any opportunities in the future, let"s cooperate then."
Although Wei He was smiling, he was cursing in his heart, This b.a.s.t.a.r.d is really not giving me face even though I showed him some. He is really wary. We should just attack directly.
Attack. The command to attack was sent through voice projection, calling everyone to take action.
However, the one who attacked first was not them but Xiao Chen!
Xiao Chen had reached the optimal position much earlier. He did not give Wei He any time to react, instantly launching the Sharp Spirit Finger at Wei He"s forehead.
The Sharp Spirit Finger was a Martial Technique unique to Xiao Chen, driving the energies of his body in one finger strike.
The power of two Cauldron Force, the Thunder Domain, the Ice Domain, and the vast sea of Veritable Essence Energy gathered at one point. The force was immense. Even a half-step Primal Core existence would find it hard to deal with.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen occupied the best position, and his opponent was caught off guard.
The smile that Wei He put on had yet to fade when his lifeforce vanished; he collapsed straight to the ground.
Wei He was thoroughly dead, showing no signs of life at all.
Fei`er and Luo Nan grew up in the sect from childhood. They worked very well together.
The instant Xiao Chen attacked, those two charged towards Tuoba Lang.
"What"s going on?"
Feng Yun, Young Master Yan, and their two allies revealed shocked expressions. How could Ye Bai"s group have charged over before they attacked?
"Oh no, they figured out our plan."
"Don"t hold back at all."
"Kill them."
The remaining few reacted rather quickly. After the change in their expressions, they immediately executed their strongest moves.
"Flying Snow Filling the Sky." The Flying Snow Palace"s Young Master Yan made his move.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
Countless strands of visible icy cold Qi directly encased Xiao Chen, causing the ambient temperature to drop sharply.
Young Master Yan"s cultivation of the will of ice was pretty good. He already condensed an Innate Ice Crystal.
Unfortunately, it was still weaker than Xiao Chen"s. Young Master Yan had not comprehended a Domain yet.
Although Young Master Yan had not comprehended a Domain, this Flying Snow Filling the Sky had many unique points to it.
Flying Snow Filling the Sky formed a great momentum, the momentum of a cold winter arriving and sealing everything under the sky in ice. This was especially so after one"s cultivation reached the Yin Essence Stage. The Yin Essence Energy merged with the snow, making it even colder.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. It seemed that the Martial Techniques of the outer realm had many things worth learning.
However, that was all. The other party was not skilled enough and could not bring out the essence of this move.
"Lotus Flower Sword Art, Buddha"s Rage!"
Feng Yun placed his hands together and executed a sword art, sending out a black sword light from his palm.
Immediately, a strong wind spread out, and lotus flowers flew around. A Buddha roared in the sky, amplifying the might of this sword light.
Ice Domain, open!
With a thought, Xiao Chen enclosed everywhere within one kilometer in his Ice Domain.
Young Master Yan"s Flying Snow Filling the Sky immediately and silently got a.s.similated into the Ice Domain.
As for that strand of sword light, Xiao Chen gently waved his hand, and the Lunar Shadow Saber appeared.
Not even drawing the saber, he gently swung it around and used the scabbard to block the other party"s sword light firmly.
Xiao Chen was someone who comprehended the Saber Great Dao. Against an opponent who had not even comprehended the Sword Dao and whose strength did not surpa.s.s his own by a considerable margin, dealing with such a sword light was like playing swords with children.
There were too many openings, and the sword move was unstable. It had no Dao Might at all and was readily scattered.
This battle was not very exciting.
Without much ado, the other party immediately lost two people. While Xiao Chen easily delayed two more people, Luo Nan and Fei`er dealt with their opponent.
This resulted in a three-versus-two fight.
Wei He"s group dreamed big, but in the end, they lost to Xiao Chen.
Without Xiao Chen putting in a lot of effort and with his deliberate restraint, only Feng Yun remained, bitterly holding on.
Xiao Chen needed to capture this person alive!
