Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Senior Brother, you’ve made my life so miserable. How can I repay you?

Xiao Yang emerged from the hidden thicket of trees.

Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er followed closely behind him.

“Xiao Yang?”

Qin Fei was startled to see the newcomer but quickly regained his composure, scanning his surroundings.

When he saw that there was no one else around, he coldly fixed his gaze on Xiao Yang, a sly grin spreading across his face.

“Junior brother, hand it over!”

Xiao Yang beckoned towards the Chiyang fruit in Qin Fei’s hand.

“Senior Brother, you still think you’re the top contender of the younger generation from the Qingyang Sword Sect?”

Qin Fei sneered.

“Hmm?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang chuckled lightly: “What’s wrong, my dear junior brother? Can’t keep up the act anymore?”

“It’s only because I lack strength that I need to act. Do you know how hard I’ve had to pretend these past years? You think I wanted to? Now, my power far exceeds yours; you’re nothing but an ant in my eyes. Why would I still put on a show in front of you? Besides, it’s just you and me here, along with the two ants behind you. Who am I pretending for?”

Qin Fei boasted.

“My junior brother, do you think surviving a major disaster and gaining great power means you can beat me?”

Xiao Yang dismissed him.

“I’m already half a step into the Divine Martial Realm, while you’re just a tiny Heavenly Martial Realm master. Tell me, what do you think you can use to fight me?”

Remembering how badly Xiao Yang had harmed him before, Qin Fei wished he could rip him apart.

If it weren’t for Xiao Yang, he wouldn’t have become a eunuch.

That was an absolute humiliation.

Moreover, it was Xiao Yang who forced him to kill his own uncle himself.

He and Xiao Yang were sworn enemies.

“So, what do you want?”

Xiao Yang asked, genuinely interested.

“What do you think? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have become a eunuch. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have had to personally kill my… If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have suffered the torment of countless poisons eating away at my heart. So tell me, how should I repay you, my esteemed Senior Brother?”

Qin Fei gritted his teeth, glaring at Xiao Yang, nearly letting slip his biggest secret.

A chilling killing intent erupted from him.

Xiao Yang smiled but stayed silent.

“This…”

Liu Qingyun sensed the cold atmosphere from Qin Fei and immediately turned pale.

The overwhelming aura radiating from Qin Fei almost left him breathless.

This white-haired young man really managed to cultivate to half a step into the Divine Martial Realm?

A genius truly is a genius.

To reach such a highly sought-after cultivation level at such an age!

Generally, a martial artist, even after a lifetime of hard work, might not break into the Heavenly Martial Realm to become a martial arts master, let alone transcend into the Divine Martial Realm!

Half a step into the Divine Martial Realm—Xiao Yang’s junior brother’s talent was simply monstrous.

Meanwhile, the grand leader of the Qingyun Sect had cultivated for hundreds of years and had only reached the Divine Ability Realm.

Without an incredible fortuitous encounter in his youth involving a life-extending elixir, he would have long since turned to dust.

Human lifespan is only a few decades; martial cultivators live a bit longer, but only about ten to twenty years more than the average person.

For a martial cultivator to significantly increase their lifespan, they must reach the Heavenly Martial Realm, turning their body against nature to become a martial arts master, drawing upon heavenly spiritual energy to refine their body and make it stronger.

A master at the early stages of the Heavenly Martial Realm, under normal circumstances, could easily live two to three hundred years.

Meanwhile, a peak master of the Heavenly Realm could live five to six hundred years.

As for those half a step into the Divine Martial Realm, their lifespan increase isn’t very pronounced.

However, once someone in that state breaks through into true Divine Martial Realm, they could dominate for a millennium.

Martial arts greats can shatter mountains, slice rivers with a single sword, and travel through the skies—those with great power can live for a thousand years.

As for the Holy Martial Realm martial saints, their lifespan increases significantly.

Yet, in a thousand years, no one in the Northern Realm has become a saint.

Among the ten great powers in the Northern Realm, only the Fuyiao Sword Sect, Guiyuan Martial Sect, and the Supreme Dao Sect had martial saints in their ranks.

Of course, there are likely other martial saints hidden away in the Northern Realm.

But such figures seldom show themselves.

Because they seek the path to eternal life.

Even the martial saints of the three major powers have not revealed themselves for centuries.

Without the appearance of martial saints, no divine martial master can be seen as invincible.

Now that Qin Fei was already half a step into the Divine Martial Realm, how could Xiao Yang possibly challenge him?

Liu Qingyun sweated at the thought.

They were doomed.

Ling Xian’er, however, curiously observed the white-haired youth.

Was this the sword genius of the Qingyang Sword Sect possessing the Innate Dao Body?

“You think you can kill me?”

Xiao Yang gazed at the man who had killed everyone in the Qingyang Sword Sect in his past life, the one who had thrown his parents into the fiery abyss to burn alive—he wished to crush every bone in Qin Fei’s body inch by inch, making him suffer before finally ending him.

But not yet.

He wanted Qin Fei to experience the same pains he had endured in his previous life.

If he just killed Qin Fei like this, it would be too merciful.

“Senior Brother, you’re nothing but a joke in my eyes now.”

Qin Fei was full of confidence.

His confidence stemmed from his power.

With his current cultivation level, he could indeed look down on Heavenly Martial Realm masters as if they were ants.

However, Xiao Yang saw that Qin Fei was getting too cocky.

But Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er were silently backing away.

“Today, you all die here.”

As Qin Fei spoke, he waved his right hand, unleashing a sharp, multi-colored sword light aimed straight at Xiao Yang.

He directly summoned his Five Element Flying Sword.

Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er turned and fled.

Xiao Yang concentrated, and immediately a sword light burst forth from him, blocking the attack.

“Clang!”

The two sword lights collided in an instant, sparks flying everywhere.

The fierce waves of sword qi surged, sending dust and debris flying.

Invisible sword qi left marks on the ground, and the surrounding trees were sliced into splinters.

A falling leaf was instantly cut into countless shards by the sword qi.

Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er narrowly escaped the area engulfed by the sword energy.

When they turned back, they were drenched in cold sweat.

Xiao Yang and Qin Fei were surrounded by chaos.

The boulder behind them was covered in deep sword marks.

Ling Xian’er lightly tapped her finger on the boulder.

“Boom!”

The boulder shattered and fell apart instantly.

“…”

Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er were left in stunned amazement.

At that moment, Xiao Yang and Qin Fei were engaged in an all-out battle by the waterside.

This was a showdown between two swordsmanship geniuses.

Xiao Yang possessed the True Sun Holy Body and was the Sect Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect; his swordsmanship was not to be underestimated.

However, his opponent was the significantly empowered Qin Fei.

And Qin Fei held the more monstrous Innate Dao Body compared to Xiao Yang’s physique.

Although Liu Qingyun and the others wished for Xiao Yang to defeat Qin Fei, the critical reality was that Xiao Yang’s Heavenly Martial Realm cultivation made him no match for Qin Fei.

They had no idea the depth of enmity between these two disciples.

“Quick! Go and get help!”

Liu Qingyun shouted, pulling Ling Xian’er along as they dashed away.

Only by calling for help could they save Xiao Yang.

They both believed that Xiao Yang could not contend with Qin Fei.

Qin Fei was about to strike down Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er.

If others discovered he attacked Xiao Yang and attempted to kill him, that would not be a joke.

But he was stopped by Xiao Yang in the midst of his thoughts.

Distracted, Qin Fei nearly fell victim to Xiao Yang’s flying sword attack.

Qin Fei was both shocked and furious.

How is this possible?

Xiao Yang is merely at the Heavenly Martial Realm; how could he possibly be his opponent?

Qin Fei was filled with disbelief and rage.
