The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 146: A Sword Cuts the Stream, Evil Beast Revives

At first, Ye Feng had not expected that after Huo Yunjie had created his own Sword Drawing Technique, he would be able to master it instantly and achieve Perfection directly.

“System, can the spells created by the disciple also be effective for me?” Ye Feng asked inwardly.

“Yes,” the System said.

“Looks like you’re quite buggy!” Ye Feng praised sincerely.

He took a stick and walked into the Misty Area, gazing at a distant tree, recalling all the details about the Perfect Sword Drawing Technique in his mind.

“The Sword Drawing Technique involves channeling all of one’s Qi into the sword in hand, even if it’s just a wooden sword, it could instantly become as heavy as if it weighed ten thousand catties. Afterward, one could slash out a fierce sword glow that sweeps across all directions.”

Ye Feng muttered to himself as he made the initial stance for drawing the sword.

“Moreover, according to the hints, even if I don’t have Spiritual Energy, I could use the power of the Heroic Spirits instead, and the effect would be about the same.”

Ye Feng was preparing to gather his strength, but after some thought, he left Misty Peak and traveled north, coming to the bank of Fenhuo River dozens of miles away.

“There aren’t many people here, so even if I use the powerful Sword Drawing Technique, I shouldn’t be discovered. It’s very safe and secluded.”

With this thought, Ye Feng discarded the stick in his hand and took out an ordinary Iron Sword from the System Space.

Ye Feng bent down, holding the scabbard with his left hand and the sword in a reverse grip with his right, his gaze solemn as he stared at the Fenhuo River that was hundreds of meters wide. He began to concentrate the power of the Heroic Spirits, giving off an impression of returning to the basics of nature.

Had there been any cultivators nearby, they would have noticed that there wasn’t the slightest breath coming from Ye Feng, at first glance, he resembled a statue.

Szzzt!

At the moment when Ye Feng’s Qi was condensed to the limit, he firmly secured himself by relying on his powerful physical strength and then drew the sword at an extremely fast speed.

An invisible Sword Qi slashed out, breaking the sound barrier, emitting a sharp, roaring sound, and the steam fog caused by the Sword Qi surpassing the speed of sound was visible.

The next moment, Fenhuo River was bisected by the Sword Qi, revealing the riverbed tens of meters deep.

The river water was forced open, creating a ravine about ten meters wide starting from Ye Feng and extending all the way to the depths of Yunxiao Great Forest on the opposite bank of the river, a thousand meters long!

“Hiss!”

Ye Feng took in a cold breath.

Whoosh!

Only then did the severed Fenhuo River start to close together again, the waves splashing wildly, the sound of the surging waters echoing incessantly.

On the north bank of Fenhuo River, by the terrifying ravine created by the Sword Qi, laid a lower-ranked Demon General Level giant lizard, trembling on the ground.

It had been lucky just now; it had narrowly escaped being struck by the Sword Qi, otherwise it would have turned into mud by now. It hurriedly looked towards the tall figure on the south bank with fear and trepidation.

“Oh my god, how terrifying!”

The lizard scrambled and rolled away towards the depths of Yunxiao Great Forest, never daring to appear in this area again.

On the south bank of Fenhuo River.

Ye Feng did not notice the fleeing lizard but was looking at the huge ravine he had cleaved on the opposite bank, his figure frozen.

“Is it really that terrifying?”

Ye Feng swallowed hard, finding the Perfect Stage of the Sword Drawing Technique far too terrifying; he had been able to compress his Qi to such a degree, exerting more than ten times his normal fearsome strength.

This power was not any weaker than Fifth Grade Magic!

“Fortunately, my physical strength is strong. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t have been able to unleash all of its power,” Ye Feng mumbled to himself.

Although this sword strike was terrifying, he found that his Heroic Spirit Power had been completely depleted and was now slowly reaccumulating. At this rate, it would take at least an hour to fully recover.

“A one-hour cooldown, huh?”

Ye Feng murmured to himself, looking at Misty Peak tens of miles away, considering how to get back.

“Got it!”

Ye Feng put away his Iron Sword, started to squat down, and then leapt up with all his might, the ground beneath his feet caving in to form a big pit, with dense, web-like cracks spreading out dozens of meters in all directions. His body, propelled by the strong recoil, soared into the sky like a javelin thrown into the clouds, then fell back down in a parabolic trajectory.

After a few leaps, Ye Feng arrived near Misty Peak.

“So, without relying on the ‘Heroic Spirit Power,’ my travel speed is actually faster!” Ye Feng looked back in the direction of Fenhuo River and smiled satisfiedly. With a leap, he reached the 700-meter-high peak and laid down

to rest.

To the west of Whitefloat City, over a hundred miles away.

A figure in a black robe appeared here, looking at a great mound before him that resembled a hill.

“I’ve finally found it!”

“It is rumored that the owner of the tomb was a ‘Loose Cultivator’ in the ‘Element Gathering Realm Triple Layer’ during his life. Even after falling for many years, his body should still have plenty of strength to devour.”

Souhun Zhenren sneered, pointed with a finger, slicing open the tomb and revealing its numerous mechanisms. He crushed them all with one slap and dug out a ten-meter-long coffin.

“Open for me!”

Souhun Zhenren shattered the coffin with a palm strike, exposing the main coffin inside. Upon opening, an elderly-looking cultivator could be seen lying inside, who, even after falling for hundreds of years, was still as intact as ever.

“The ‘Element Gathering Realm’ body has been tempered by ‘True Yuan’. Under normal circumstances, it would not decay even if left in a coffin for a thousand years. It’s perfect for feeding that ‘Evil Beast’ and taking it to the next level.”

Souhun Zhenren sneered.

He opened his mouth and spat out a black ‘Treasure Bead’ the size of a thumb, which entered the body of the ‘Element Gathering Realm Loose Cultivator’, visibly withering away until finally, it turned into a pile of ash.

In the center of the main coffin, only an expanded, head-sized black sphere remained, emitting a deep and terrifying roar.

Souhun Zhenren pressed his face against the surface of the sphere, watching as a strange figure grew inside, gradually taking on a humanoid shape.

Crack!

The black sphere was broken from the inside, and a one-foot-tall creature emerged, with a human-like form, but with a disproportionately large head, two-thirds the size of its entire body.

More eerie was the fact that its eyes were situated inside its mouth!

“Lower Rank ‘Demon General Peak’!”

Souhun Zhenren sensed the aura of the ‘Evil Beast’ and joyously danced on the grave of the ‘Element Gathering Realm’ cultivator. Then, with a fierce expression, he pointed in the direction of Whitefloat City.

“Head to Whitefloat City, eliminate those five obstructive ‘Element Gathering Realm’ strong ones, force the Old City Lord to leave his retreat, and then I can backstab him in secret. With that, the fight for supremacy shall be decided in one battle!”

“Roar!”

The ‘Evil Beast’ opened its mouth, its short legs furiously running on the ground, covering a hundred meters in a blink, heading towards Whitefloat City.

“Idiot, you can fly!”

Souhun Zhenren cursed loudly.

Upon hearing this, the ‘Evil Beast’ took to the air, flying like a black meteor, hurtling toward Whitefloat City with a terrifying aura.

Souhun Zhenren followed with satisfaction, concealing his own aura, always lurking in the shadows, waiting for the Old City Lord to come out of his seclusion, ready to backstab him.

West of Whitefloat City.

This area was under the jurisdiction of Nishang Palace.

At this moment, the Nishang Palace Master stood at the top of a grand palace, looking in the direction of the western city gate with an uneasy feeling.

“Palace Master, are you troubled?” An old crone holding a wooden staff stood behind her and asked.

“Hmm, my mind feels restless today, as if something big is about to happen,” the Nishang Palace Master said, patting her majestic front lightly, then noticed an additional black dot within her field of vision.

Before the Nishang Palace Master could make any sense of it, the black dot rapidly expanded, crashing through the western city gate with its heavy presence and landing on an ancient street.

“Roar!”

A thunderous roar spread out.

Immediately after, a five-meter-tall black ‘Evil Beast’ appeared out of nowhere, opening its massive mouth and swallowing nearby pedestrians in

a single gulp.

The powerful aura swept through the city like a shock wave, rapidly enveloping the whole city!
