Chapter 403: Killing a God-Level Warrior

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ye Feng caught up with Feng Song, who was still wandering aimlessly in the forest, clueless as ever.
“Where on earth has that kid gone? Not even a trace left behind…” Feng Song muttered while using his mental power to search, “Without Zhou Jing’s help, I can’t even detect the slightest clue…”
Just then, another human appeared within the range of his mental detection. He sent his mental power over to see if it was Dao Feng, though he wasn’t holding out much hope. But soon, his indifferent expression turned into excitement. “After searching everywhere in vain, I found him effortlessly! Dao Feng, you really made me lucky—stumbling upon you by chance. Should I say I’m lucky, or that you’re unlucky?”
“It seems he’s flying so carefree now, clearly unaware of my presence,” Feng Song said with a smug smile. “It looks like I don’t need any help this time. I can take all the treasures on him by myself. If Zhou Jing and the others ask, I’ll just say I didn’t find Dao Feng. They’ll believe it—after all, there are only three days, and the range of my mental detection is limited. The chances of running into him are extremely low.”
The thought of keeping all the treasures that Ye Feng had acquired with so many points made Feng Song even happier. Concealing his presence, he rushed quickly in Ye Feng’s direction and arrived in front of him in just a few breaths.
“Dao Feng, we meet again!” Feng Song crossed his arms behind his back, unbothered by the possibility of Ye Feng escaping. After all, this place wasn’t like the lake before—there were no magical beasts blocking the way, nor any environment that could hide one from sight.
“How… how did you find me?” Ye Feng pretended to be panicked.
“Hmph. Do you think setting up all those distractions will let you escape my detection? I already knew where you were going. I caught up with you without any obstacles along the way!” Of course, Feng Song wouldn’t admit he had stumbled upon Dao Feng by chance. The more he portrayed himself as powerful, the more afraid the other would be, weakening their strength and making it easier to kill them.

Hearing these words, Ye Feng secretly smiled. It was clearly he who had approached the other party first, yet the other party claimed it was he who had followed the clues all the way. Of course, he wouldn’t say that out loud. “The senior’s strength is truly formidable; I’m truly in awe. No wonder you were able to penetrate the territory of the Imperial Divine Magical Beasts and kill beasts at the Imperial Divine level…”
“Hmph, you’re quite smooth-talking. But do you really think that will make me let you go?” Feng Song felt pleased hearing this and didn’t intend to kill Dao Feng and seize his treasures right away. Instead, he expected Dao Feng to say more flattering words.
“Senior, why do you keep chasing after me? You should know that my cultivation level is low, and the Magical Beast Spirit Crystals I obtained are useless to you!” Although Ye Feng had already guessed that the other party was after the treasures he had exchanged for, he pretended not to understand.
“Of course I know those Magical Beast Crystal Cores are of no use to us!” Feng Song explained readily. “But what I want isn’t those crystal cores. I want the treasures you exchanged for on that platform! Don’t think we don’t know—your strength is only at the peak of the Divine realm, yet you’re lurking in the territory of the early-stage Divine Beast realm. Even killing just one such beast earns 100,000 points. The three of us, who are at the Divine realm level, have each received less than 100,000 points so far. If we don’t take them from you, then who will?”
“Senior, what’s the total number of points obtained in this area? And how many points have you gotten?” Ye Feng wanted to take this opportunity to learn about others’ progress.
“It doesn’t hurt to tell you. Anyway, you’re about to perish anyway.” Hearing this question, Feng Song glared at Ye Feng, hesitated for a moment, but still replied, “If the three of us entered the Imperial Divine Magical Beast realm alone, we’d likely perish even at the hands of early-stage Imperial Divine beasts. Fortunately, before coming to this realm, we were granted a formation that allows us to kill large groups of beasts together. Still, so far, we’ve only earned a total of over 230,000 points. Even with the formation’s help, we can only dare to kill beasts at the early-stage Imperial Divine level, occasionally killing those at the middle stage. As for those at the late stage, we dare not provoke them, as our strength isn’t enough to suppress them with the formation. Each of us has only received a little over 70,000 points—far less than yours.”

“Over seventy thousand?” Ye Feng thought to himself that it was somewhat amusing. He had already earned 100,000 points just by killing a magical beast at the early stage of the Supreme God level. Yet after such a long time, the other party had only accumulated a little over seventy thousand points. No wonder they were dissatisfied with him.
“Blade, since you won’t survive today anyway, why not tell me how many points you’ve earned in total and what treasures you’ve obtained?” Feng Song believed that Blade couldn’t escape his grasp, so he asked casually.
“How many points? Let me see!” Ye Feng lowered his head, but in an instant, he was already gone.
“Trying to escape?” Feng Song was slightly stunned before realizing what had happened. Almost at the same time, he felt a cool breeze on the back of his head. He barely twisted his body to avoid the attack and stared at Ye Feng in shock, “How dare you even attack me? Just a minor god-tier powerhouse—how utterly arrogant!!!”
“If I can kill a magical beast at the Supreme God level, why can’t I kill a human at the same level?” Ye Feng smiled nonchalantly. “I originally thought you could kill imperial god-level magical beasts, thinking your strength was incredible. But it seems that without the help of those spells, even you, a powerhouse at the early stage of the Supreme God level, might not be able to defeat a magical beast at the later stage! There’s no need for me to hold back anymore!”
“Hmph, arrogant! Let me see how I kill you today and take your treasures!” Hearing that his strength was insufficient, Feng Song was extremely angered, as it touched his pride. His strength was already weak, and he hated it the most when people said so.
“Today, I’ll show you my true strength.” Nine long swords appeared in front of Ye Feng. Even the lowest-ranked among them was a mid-tier divine weapon, all obtained from previous battles. “Sword Control Art!”
As soon as Ye Feng spoke, the nine swords seemed to come to life, rushing wildly toward Feng Song.
Feng Song was filled with terror. He had seen many sword users, but he had never witnessed nine swords being used at once. It wasn’t that no one could control so many swords—it was just that most sword users used single-handed swords or at most two-handed swords. Few could allocate enough mental energy to control so many swords. With scattered mental energy, controlling the swords became exponentially more difficult. Using nine swords not only reduced accuracy but also diminished their power, which was why many people avoided doing so.

But to Feng Song’s horror, he could clearly sense the immense energy emanating from Ye Feng’s long swords—each one possessing an attack power no less than his own full-force attacks. In just a few moments, several wounds appeared on his body. “No good, if this continues, I’ll really be killed by this kid. I need Zhou Jing and the others to come and help,” Feng Song thought anxiously. He knew he wouldn’t last much longer if things continued this way, so he immediately sent his coordinates to Zhou Jing and Cha Wenqing. The two, who were resting in the territory of imperial-level magical beasts, suddenly opened their eyes and took out communicators from their rings. “We’ve found Blade Edge! Come quickly! Coordinates: XXX.XXX.XXX” “What’s Feng Song up to?” Cha Wenqing frowned slightly. “If he found Blade Edge by himself, would he go to such lengths to warn us so we can share in the spoils?” “It’s strange. Last time, with a dragon turtle and a group of dragon crocodile beasts blocking the way, he was worried Blade Edge might escape and called us. But this time… if he found Blade Edge himself, why not act on his own? Why must he involve us? If I really encountered Blade Edge, I’d never tell anyone. I’d kill it secretly and put the treasure in my ring—no one would know I had it, and I wouldn’t get into trouble.” “Let’s not rush out yet. Let’s ask him what’s going on. Don’t get tricked by Feng Song again!” Cha Wenqing sent a message back to Feng Song to inquire about the situation. Even though Feng Song knew there was a message on the communicator, he had no time to check it now. Earlier, it was only the initial stage of Blade Edge’s attacks, giving him a chance to catch his breath and send a distress message. But now, the nine flying swords were moving faster and their attack power was increasing, leaving him no chance to breathe. He was fully focused on fighting and had no time to worry about anything else. “What’s going on? It’s already been an hour, and he still hasn’t replied…” Cha Wenqing frowned tightly. “Could he be trying to trick us again?” Even Zhou Jing frowned. “Could something have happened to him? Maybe he’s too ashamed to ask us for help, so he’s sending such messages to deceive us and get us to come to his rescue!”

“That’s also possible!” Hearing Zhou Jing say that, Zha Wenqing thought this possibility was quite high. “Then let’s go there. Without him, it will be much harder for us to earn points with the Three Talents Formation.”
“Hmm, let’s go take a look!” Zhou Jing nodded as well.
“Those two old guys are moving!” Ye Feng, who was constantly monitoring the detection results on his device, had already noticed that the other two were taking action.
“It will take them less than a cup of tea to get here. We must end the fight immediately and get away. I can handle one person, but two is a bit tough…” Ye Feng made a quick decision. In a flash, he appeared in front of Feng Song, smiled at him, and softly uttered a few words, “Sword Control!”
As soon as his words faded, several sharp objects that tore through space suddenly appeared in the air. At that moment, Feng Song was focusing all his strength on defending against those nine long swords and had no energy left for anything else. He could only watch helplessly as those blade-like objects sliced through his body…
After casually collecting the spoils, Ye Feng’s figure vanished in an instant…
