With Yun Zhanfei's strength, if he had not underestimated Ye Xing and had gone all out, he would have had an 80 to 90 percent chance of blocking that arrow!
The arrow just now was Ye Xing's strongest attack. If it had been blocked by Yun Zhanfei, Ye Xing would have had no chance to turn the situation around. He would most likely have lost this battle!
This was not a duel in a grand competition. This was a battle of life and death. Losing meant death!
Yun Zhanfei was severely injured after being hit by the arrow. His body was in excruciating pain and he could not circulate the astral energy in many parts of his body. His strength had been reduced by half.
The outcome of this battle had been decided. Yun Zhanfei would definitely die.
As a Perfected One Star Cultivator, Yun Zhanfei should have been the winner of this battle of life and death. However, because he had underestimated Ye Xing, he had sent himself to the path of death!
Yun Zhanfei's heart was filled with unwillingness!
Ye Xing drew his bow again and shouted coldly, "Go to hell!"
Swoosh —
The arrow left the bowstring and the dragon roared. It was the Azure Dragon Arrow Style again. Yun Zhanfei had unleashed his strength to the limit!
"Let's die together!"
Yun Zhanfei knew that he was going to die. He immediately burned all the astral energy in his body. He was overdrawing his life force to increase his strength.
Swoosh —
A ray of sword light pierced through the void. Yun Zhanfei's entire body was shining brightly. He faced the arrow and rushed toward Ye Xing.
With a clink, the sword energy and the arrow collided. The Azure Dragon's shadow dissipated. The purple-gold arrow turned into a ray of cold light and shot into the distance.
Yun Zhanfei was burning his astral energy and life force to increase his strength. Not only did it make up for the loss of strength due to his severe injuries, but it also made his strength stronger than usual.
When a Perfected One went all out, it was extremely terrifying. This was especially true for Yun Zhanfei, who was one of the top Perfected Ones in the same realm.
At this moment, Yun Zhanfei could defeat anyone in the same realm. Even a Perfected One Star Cultivator would have to avoid him.
The Azure Cloud Wings flapped and Ye Xing retreated explosively!
At this moment, Yun Zhanfei's perception had reached an unheard of level. He could sense the airflow and sound that Ye Xing created as he moved through the void. Even if he couldn't see Ye Xing, he could still lock onto Ye Xing's body.
At this moment, both Yun Zhanfei's strength and speed had increased by a level after burning his life force. The distance between him and Ye Xing was rapidly closing.
"Die! Scorching Sun in the Sky!"
Yun Zhanfei was bleeding from his seven orifices, but he had a crazed expression on his face. The Spirit artifact sword in his hand shone even more resplendently. It was like a scorching sun, making it hard for people to look at it directly. In an instant, he caught up to Ye Xing and thrust his sword at him.
The golden constellation in the sky poured down an endless amount of astral power, which was absorbed by Yun Zhanfei's sword.
This was the strongest sword strike of his sublimated life force. After this sword strike, whether his target lived or died, Yun Zhanfei would die.
This sort of terrifying attack that erupted without regard for one's life was the most terrifying. Even someone with similar strength might perish together with it.
As he drew back, Ye Xing put away his bow and took out the high-grade spirit artifact, the Black Dragon Spear!
If Yun Zhanfei were still conscious, he would be shocked once more. Ye Xing actually had two high-grade spirit artifacts on him.
However, Yun Zhanfei had already gone mad and his mind was no longer clear. There was only a single thought in his mind, and that was to kill Ye Xing and perish together with him. As for the Black Dragon Spear in Ye Xing's hand, he completely ignored it.
"Darkness Spear Curtain!"
With the Black Dragon Spear in hand, Ye Xing focused his mind like never before. His might erupted to the limit as he used a defensive spear move.
The Black Dragon Spear danced about, turning into a curtain of spears that collided with Yun Zhanfei's sword.
Bang –
With a loud explosion, the darkness spear curtain was instantly torn apart. With a puff, Ye Xing spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yun Zhanfei's spirit artifact continued to erupt with a dazzling light as it thrust forwards.
However, Ye Xing's figure was nowhere to be seen!
Ye Xing had already clearly scanned this sword's trajectory, weakness, and flaws. As he used the darkness spear curtain to resist, he had already dodged to a safe area.
Ye Xing's speed erupted with incredible speed. Although Yun Zhanfei's mutual destruction sword strike had wounded Ye Xing, it hadn't caused any fatal injuries to Ye Xing.
Woosh –
Ye Xing's blue cloud wings flapped. In the blink of an eye, he had crossed several miles.
Yun Zhanfei's sword missed. With a loud roar, he slashed out with his sword again, chasing after Ye Xing.
However, just as this sword thrust out, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He could no longer withstand the burning astral energy within his body, causing his life to rapidly fade away.
Bang –
The burning astral energy within Yun Zhanfei's body went out of control and exploded, causing his body to explode into pieces.
The sword light instantly disappeared. With a clank, the spirit artifact sword was thrown forward and fell to the ground.
A few miles away, Ye Xing stopped. He retracted his astrology and slapped his chest. A mouthful of blood spurted out. His body went limp and he sat on the ground, panting heavily.
This battle was extremely dangerous for Ye Xing!
If Yun Zhanfei hadn't looked down on him, an Eight Star Martial Saint, and hadn't used his full strength during the battle with Ye Xing, Ye Xing's arrow might not have been able to injure him. The result could have been reversed. The one who died might have been Ye Xing!
Moreover, if Yun Zhanfei wasn't just a One Star Martial Saint, if he was a Two Star Martial Saint, Ye Xing would have died in this battle.
Luckily! The one who chased after me wasn't a Two Star Martial Saint!
Luckily! Yun Zhanfei was conceited and looked down on me!
Ye Xing rejoiced in his heart!
After taking a healing elixir, Ye Xing immediately took out two low-grade star crystals to heal his injuries and restore his celestial essence.
Ye Xing's injuries weren't serious and he recovered quickly. However, his celestial essence recovery was slower. It would take him at least half an hour to fully recover.
He didn't dare to stay here for half an hour. The other party had a Class 3 flying demonic beast, and it wouldn't take long for it to catch up. After Ye Xing recovered from his injuries, he got up and walked towards Yun Zhanfei's corpse.
Middle-grade spirit artifact sword! Middle-grade flying spirit artifact!
Ye Xing picked up all of them, including Yun Zhanfei's storage ring.
The first thing Ye Xing did was to refine Yun Zhanfei's Middle-grade flying spirit artifact. The owner of the Middle-grade flying spirit artifact was dead, so refining it wasn't difficult.
After about twenty breaths, Ye Xing refined the Middle-grade flying spirit artifact and put it into his body. His celestial essence surged, and a pair of black wings appeared on Ye Xing's back in an instant.
"Very good! The Clear Sky Wings is a top-grade flying spirit artifact, but it consumes too much energy for me. I can't fly for a long time, so I can only use it when escaping. This Middle-grade flying spirit artifact is just right for me. I'll give it a name, 'Black Feather Wings'! "
"The Clear Sky Wings is too precious. If exposed, even the masters of the Nine Great Sects would covet it. I can't let others know about it. It's better to use the Black Feather Wings at ordinary times!"
Ye Xing secretly said in his heart.
Ye Xing used his star fire to burn Yun Zhanfei's corpse to ashes. He then tore his blood-stained clothes and threw them on the ground, pretending that he was dead.
Then, he took out a set of clothes from his storage ring and put them on. With a flap of the Black Feather Wings, he instantly soared into the sky.
Shortly after Ye Xing left, the Four-winged Flying Snake arrived with Qi Zhuo, Tan Watanabe, and the other Enlightened Masters.
There should have been 12 of them. Excluding Yun Zhanfei who was chasing after Ye Xing, there were still 11 of them. However, there were only 9 of them on the Four-winged Flying Snake and two Enlightened Masters were missing.
When Enlightened Masters fought with their lives on the line, they could unleash extraordinary combat strength by burning their astral energies and overdrafting their lifeforce!
Even though Tan Watanabe had more Enlightened Masters on his side and was stronger, they had to pay a huge price to kill the five Enlightened Masters of the Falling Star Sect!
Lu Tianyuan and Qi Dousheng had dragged a Enlightened Master of the Dongfu Sect down with them before their deaths.
Although the other three did not manage to kill their targets, they were severely injured!
The five Enlightened Masters of the Falling Star Sect were dead while the other party had two dead and three injured!
Although it seemed like the number of casualties was unequal, it was extremely difficult to cause casualties in a situation where there was a huge disparity in strength.
Of course, if not for Qi Zhuo's arrows from afar, the casualties would have been much higher. However, Qi Zhuo's arrows were too powerful. Even Enlightened Masters of the same cultivation realm could not withstand them, let alone those below Three Enlightened Masters!
Because of Qi Zhuo's arrows from afar, the five Enlightened Masters of the Falling Star Sect had no hope of escaping even if they managed to break out of the encirclement. They could only fight to the death!
The Enlightened Masters jumped off the Four-winged Flying Snake's back and observed the traces of the battle.
There were bloodstains, burning ashes, and Ye Xing's blood-stained clothes!
"Ye Xing is dead!"
"Where's Yun Zhanfei? Why didn't he join us?"
"Did he want to take the superior-grade air-transportation spiritual artifact for himself and run away?"
(To make up for yesterday's second update! Looking for recommendations on Monday!)
