Chapter 693: Chapter 703: Slaying the Nine-star Sword God
"Kill a Nine-star Sword God? Is Master joking?" Yan Qing, though a madman himself, was well aware of his own limits.
With his strength, he could at most challenge a Five-star Sword God level opponent.
To face a Nine-star Sword God was no trifling matter.
In both the Ten Thousand Sword Sect and the Dragon Slayer Sect, Nine-star Sword God level powerhouses were prestigious and counted amongst the few.
Such a level typically belonged to only three identities.
Inner Sect Elder, Outer Elder, True Disciple.
"Do I look like someone who jokes?" Chu Feng had just slain a Five-star Sword God, and the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King was devouring the enemy’s essence blood and Divine Soul.
Therefore, he hadn’t made his move yet.
Instead, he was quietly observing, selecting his target to kill.
Through observation, Chu Feng found that the middle-aged man who attempted a sneak attack seemed easier to deal with.
Because this person’s power and level of swordsmanship were clearly much weaker than the elder with a black mole on his face. Moreover, he had all his attention focused on You Hu.
Searching for an opportunity to strike a deadly blow.
For Chu Feng and Yan Qing to ambush this person, it would be much easier to succeed.
Seeing Chu Feng’s serious face, not at all like he was joking, Yan Qing’s heart pounded as he followed Chu Feng’s gaze.
"Master, are you planning to help You Hu out of this predicament?"
"Not long ago, he looked down on you considerably and even made some disrespectful remarks."
Yan Qing still felt that confronting a Nine-star Sword God was too risky.
He wanted to persuade Chu Feng to abandon this idea.
"Even though You Hu looks down on me, he and I are both disciples under the Supreme Lord of Wanfa Sect, and he is my senior disciple brother. Now, with a formidable enemy ahead, personal grievances are insignificant. If I could slay one of the Nine-star Sword God level adversaries, it would make him see me in a new light and change his opinion of me."
Chu Feng’s will was unwavering, not open to change.
"Alright! I’ll do as Master says. I am willing to cooperate fully with Master," Yan Qing licked his dry lips and nodded in agreement.
At that moment, the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King had finished devouring the corpse of the Five-star Sword God level.
"Let’s go, we’re moving in!"
"Yan Qing, you will be responsible for fending off the counterattack from that middle-aged man. Absolutely do not run away in fear, otherwise, even if I don’t die, I’ll be seriously injured," Chu Feng sternly warned.
At this moment, You Hu’s situation had become even more dangerous. If they didn’t take action now, You Hu could be killed by the powerful enemy at any moment.
This was a scenario Chu Feng was unwilling to see.
He also wanted to test Yan Qing to see if the man was reliable.
Having taken Yan Qing as his Sword Slave for some time, Chu Feng had indeed granted him several benefits.
The two instantly moved quickly towards their target.
"Master, I feel that I am getting closer and closer to the realm of the Hundred-Eyed Evil Spirit King. If I can devour a human of Nine-star Sword God level, I will definitely be able to advance to become a Hundred-Eyed Evil Spirit King," Mokeboer conveyed to Chu Feng telepathically.
After continuously devouring several entities of Three-star Sword God level and above, it had gained immense benefits and was feeling particularly satisfied.
At the same time, it was even more eager to attain greater power.
"If you want to feed, then fight with your life on the line! At all costs, bewitch that middle-aged man!" Chu Feng responded with a laugh.
"With my current ability, it’s no issue to bewitch a Three-star Sword God. Ensnaring a Five-star Sword God level is about my limit. Dealing with a Nine-star Sword God is extremely forced. However, I can attempt to use the Nightmare Technique I acquired from the residual soul of the Ancient Horn Sore Demon last time."
The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King and Chu Feng, each had acquired an ancient magic technique.
It had yet to use this technique.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Feng and his party arrived behind the middle-aged man. They were about thirty meters away, immediately alerting the middle-aged man.
However, once the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King cast the Nightmare Technique, the middle-aged man seemed to be somewhat affected.
His offensive movements significantly slowed down.
Seizing the golden opportunity, Chu Feng’s eyes grew cold as he accelerated and moved swiftly.
Thirty meters was but a blink away.
With a slight flicker in his form, he bridged the distance of thirty meters.
"Fierce Sword Technique!"
Chu Feng displayed the newly comprehended sixth level of the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill.
The Hymn Sword Technique was also executed alongside it.
Swish!
Fierce sword light slashed viciously towards the middle-aged man.
"Zhang the Ninth, watch your back!" The old man with the black mole urgently cried out a warning.
However, the middle-aged man didn’t react at all.
A bizarre and confused expression appeared on his face. It seemed that the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King, in its eagerness to devour the corpse of a Nine-star Sword God, had fought with all its might, exerting twelve times its strength.
Boom!
Chu Feng certainly did not disappoint it, as his sword fiercely struck the middle-aged man’s body.
In pursuit of the strongest attack effect, Chu Feng did not employ any defensive swordsmanship or defensive techniques.
A circle of Treasure Light glimmered on the body of the middle-aged man.
He was indeed wearing a set of Magical Treasure Level Treasure Clothes inside.
Chu Feng could clearly feel that a large part of the might of his sword light was neutralized by the Treasure Clothes.
Fortunately, Chu Feng had the foresight. During the surprise attack, he chose to strike at the neck and shoulders.
The neck is usually the most vulnerable part.
Moreover, even with Treasure Clothes on, it’s difficult to completely cover the neck.
Chu Feng’s sword light tore through the defense of the Treasure Clothes, fiercely cutting into the man’s neck. The power of the Fierce Sword Technique was quite impressive.
"Crack!"
This was the sound of bone being cleaved.
"Ahh..." The middle-aged man let out a chilling scream, and in his pain, he fully awakened. "Die!"
This person was indeed deserving of being a Nine-star Sword God Level powerhouse.
Even after being ambushed by Chu Feng, he didn’t die instantly.
The life-or-death strike he made before dying was terrifying to the extreme. He swung his sword towards Chu Feng.
Because his cervical vertebrae had been almost completely severed by Chu Feng’s strike, it barely supported his head. This turn of his head immediately aggravated his injury, and his neck began to fail to support his head.
The wound in his neck spurted blood like a fountain.
"Killing me won’t be so easy!" In Chu Feng’s hands was already clutched a Sixth Grade Defense Talisman.
Although it might be a stretch for this talisman to block a life-or-death strike from a Nine-star Sword God and it would definitely be shattered, it could at least save Chu Feng’s life.
"Master, do not panic, I am here!"
Yan Qing, following orders, had already prepared the strongest defensive technique.
Above Yan Qing’s head, a Shield Sword Soul appeared, extremely solid. Being first on the Earth Rankings was no trivial matter.
Boom!
Yan Qing blocked the Death Sword slash of the middle-aged man.
The sword light shattered, and the Shield Sword Soul exploded on the spot, dissipating. The remaining might of the middle-aged man’s sword light was still enough to claim Yan Qing’s life.
In this critical moment, Chu Feng was ready to make a move to save Yan Qing.
However, Yan Qing let out a furious roar and summoned a Turtle Shield Magical Treasure.
Driven by his Sword Essence, it enveloped him completely.
Bang!
The residual might of the sword light struck the Turtle Shield.
Just when it was thought that the ordeal was over, the middle-aged man’s life-or-death strike turned out to be extremely fierce.
Bang, bang, bang!
He furiously slashed several more times before coming to a complete halt.
"How terrifying! Fortunately, Yan Qing fought to block it; otherwise, even if I used the Sixth Grade Defense Talisman, I could still have been killed." Chu Feng truly experienced just how fearsome a Nine-star Sword God can be.
