Chapter 196: Little Junior Brother, is this centipede dung tasty?

Within the Sacred Martial Forbidden Domain, news spread that a celestial artifact had emerged from the celestial tomb.

Countless strong practitioners flocked to the location of the tomb.

Ah, a celestial artifact—who wouldn’t want to get their hands on one?

The powerful figures from various sects were all green with envy.

Even the Supreme Dao Master, who sat cross-legged at the peak of Yuanwu Mountain, couldn’t stay put and came down.

The Blade God Huang Tian had arrived.

Li Chenyu, the Half-Saint from the Fuyiao Sword Sect, also made an appearance.

In her flowing white garments, with a veil over her face, she looked ethereal, like an immortal descended to the mortal realm.

Chu Lingxiao from the Guiyuan Martial Sect showed up, renowned as the Guiyuan War God of the Northern Boundaries.

He was still overwhelmingly strong.

But the allure of a celestial artifact was simply too great.

“Are you guys from Guiyuan Martial Sect planning to monopolize the celestial artifact?”

Huang Tian said coldly.

“The celestial treasure belongs to the fated; I’m destined to obtain it!”

A middle-aged Daoist in a robe, with three long strands of beard hanging over his chest and a face like jade, approached with an air of celestial grace.

“Tian Xu?”

Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone’s expression turned serious.

It was the Half-Step Dao Saint Tian Xu from the Supreme Dao Sect.

The celestial artifact that had burst forth from the tomb earlier had landed in this valley right before them.

Xiao Yang had also tracked it down to the vicinity.

However, he was still observing from a distance.

Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er had also followed.

With the celestial treasure emerging, countless strong practitioners were rushing to this location.

Meanwhile, over at the celestial tomb, a suffocating aura of decay spread, and even mighty warriors at the Divine Martial Realm couldn’t stand against that terrifying corpse aura. No one dared to approach the celestial tomb.

Xiao Yang knew that apart from the celestial treasure, there was nothing valuable left in that tomb.

Before long, he spotted his seemingly virtuous master, Jiang Qitian, rushing from afar.

Jiang Qitian gripped the Qingyang Sword.

In such a high-stakes battle, he could join in, but then he’d expose his true strength, and he couldn’t hide his two spirit beasts either.

This was his trump card; he surely couldn’t just lay it all out!

Xiao Yang stood on a peak about ten miles from the valley.

At this moment, strong practitioners were continuously arriving at the valley’s outskirts.

The atmosphere was overwhelmingly tense.

“That’s…”

He suddenly spotted Tang Chen flashing through a nearby forest, holding something.

“Wait for me here!”

Xiao Yang instructed Liu Qingyun and Ling Xian’er before rushing down the peak, instantly disappearing from their sight.

In this Sacred Martial Forbidden Domain, everyone had lost the ability to fly.

Soon, he followed the traces left by Tang Chen.

From a distance, he saw Tang Chen clutching a box as he passed through a thicket.

Just as Tang Chen emerged from the woods, he was intercepted.

“Chu Guiyuan?”

Xiao Yang recognized that the person who stopped Tang Chen was none other than the Sect Holy Son of Guiyuan Martial Sect, Chu Guiyuan.

And the box that Tang Chen held was the very one he had tossed out during the secret realm expedition of the Danji Sect.

What’s going on here?

Xiao Yang was somewhat taken aback; these guys were still fighting over that box?

At that moment, another figure appeared from the nearby forest.

Xiao Yang recognized this person as none other than Qin Fei.

Qin Fei had come to join the chaos as well.

Interestingly, the Supreme Dao Child from the Supreme Dao Sect hadn’t shown up.

“Hand over the item!”

Chu Guiyuan said coldly, gazing at Tang Chen.

Tang Chen paled when both men trained their eyes on him.

Either one of them could easily squash him.

“Chu Guiyuan, if you don’t want to die, you better scram!”

Qin Fei stared frostily at Chu Guiyuan.

“Qin Fei, who do you think you are?”

Chu Guiyuan was enraged.

This guy had gotten a bit too cocky since turning gray-haired.

Chu Guiyuan noticed that Qin Fei’s cultivation had significantly improved.

But so what?

“I’m not anyone special, but I can kill you!”

Qin Fei’s voice was chillingly cold.

“Haha…”

Chu Guiyuan burst into laughter.

At that moment, more people arrived.

Riding on a massive wolf with silvery fur was Ye Feiyang, the heir of the Beast Control Manor.

The Guiyuan Martial Sect and the Beast Control Manor had now formed an alliance.

“Another one coming to die.”

Qin Fei clearly didn’t take Chu Guiyuan and Ye Feiyang seriously at all.

“What a cocky guy.”

Ye Feiyang eyed Qin Fei from atop his wolf.

“Little Brother Ye, this guy is called Qin Fei; he possesses the Innate Dao Body and is a sword genius from the Qingyang Sword Sect. He’s incredibly arrogant,” Chu Guiyuan pointed out.

“The Qingyang Sword Sect?”

Ye Feiyang paused at the mention, recalling how he’d been humiliated by Xiao Yang from the Qingyang Sword Sect. Suddenly, his gaze towards Qin Fei turned sharp.

“Kill!”

Without wasting any time, Qin Fei unleashed his flying sword, sending lethal sword qi towards Tang Chen, Ye Feiyang, and Chu Guiyuan all at once.

Xiao Yang hid in the thicket, quietly observing the scene.

“Simply asking for trouble!”

Both Ye Feiyang and Chu Guiyuan sprang into action simultaneously.

Tang Chen dodged the penetrating sword qi, attempting to retreat into the woods.

However, Ye Feiyang’s silver wolf was locked onto him, pouncing towards him ferociously.

Xiao Yang was somewhat surprised—after just over ten days, Qin Fei’s injuries had healed completely, and his cultivation had greatly improved.

The Innate Dao Body truly is monstrous!

At this point, Qin Fei was on the brink of breaking through to the true Divine Martial Realm.

Perhaps he had been concealing his true power.

Xiao Yang guessed correctly.

Qin Fei truly had been hiding his strength.

Suddenly, he erupted with power, piercing through Ye Feiyang’s shoulder with a single strike, then kicked him away into the air.

“This…”

Chu Guiyuan was taken aback by the sight.

“Divine Martial Realm?”

Chu Guiyuan was stunned.

Qin Fei didn’t bother to reply; he unleashed full force, shattering Chu Guiyuan’s Guiyuan Divine Fist, then sent him flying with a punch.

Xiao Yang was genuinely surprised by this scene.

Qin Fei’s progress was astounding.

At that moment, the silver wolf had already tackled Tang Chen to the ground.

The silver wolf was about to sink its teeth into Tang Chen.

However, just as it was about to finish him, a flash of five-colored sword light streaked by.

Then, the wolf’s head rolled to the ground.

Tang Chen discarded the box and scrambled to his feet, bolting into the woods.

He wasn’t stupid; on the contrary, he was quite clever.

He couldn’t hold onto this box anymore.

Since he couldn’t keep it, he might as well just toss it away.

At this moment, nothing was more precious than his life.

“Humph, the Holy Son of Guiyuan Martial Sect is nothing special after all!”

Qin Fei sneered.

He walked up to the box, severing the copper lock with a sword.

Then he opened the box.

The next moment, Qin Fei’s face twisted in fury.

Simultaneously, a nauseatingly sour smell, enough to make one gag, wafted from the box.

“Tang Chen, you dare play me?”

Qin Fei was about to turn and chase after Tang Chen, ready to kill him.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Qin Fei, grabbing his neck and shoving his face into the box.

“Little Junior Brother, this centipede dung is really good stuff! How does it taste? Hahaha…”

Xiao Yang burst into laughter.

Qin Fei was about to go insane.

Inside the box was a clump of black, foul-smelling substance.

This stuff turned out to be dung?

His entire head was buried in this mess.

What a sour sensation!

“Xiao Yang…”

Qin Fei spat blood in anger.
