Chapter 765: It Was Me Who Killed Him

Everyone was quickly transported out, but this time, they didn’t leave to search for a new gate as before.
Ye Feng asked Immortal with curiosity, “Do we not need to look for the next gate?”
“This is already the third gate. You missed one earlier. But there were only three days of trials behind the first gate,” Immortal explained. “This exploration of this secret realm is now over. By the way, you’ve accumulated quite a few points. What have you exchanged them for?”
“I just exchanged them for three forbidden treasures…” Ye Feng said with a smile.
“Damaged ones?” Immortal frowned slightly. He naturally knew that Ye Feng’s points could only get him damaged forbidden treasures. A truly intact forbidden treasure required at least a hundred thousand points to obtain.
Ye Feng nodded. “It doesn’t matter if they’re damaged. I have a way to repair them.”
Hearing this, Immortal didn’t say much more. Instead, he cast a peculiar glance at the team from the Outer Realm faction. At that moment, Immortal wasn’t the only one with such an expression; some powerful members of the Human faction also showed the same look.
“Shikong has fallen? Who did this?” Immortal was puzzled. He looked toward Heavenly Dao.
Heavenly Dao merely narrowed his eyes slightly, but his gaze shifted toward Ye Feng, looking thoughtful.
What concerned Heavenly Dao wasn’t the fall of Shikong from the opposing faction, but the fact that Ye Feng’s points far exceeded his own. It had taken him all his effort to reach a level of over three thousand points—so much so that he even ventured into the territory of monsters at levels 950 to 1000, crossing two levels to take on the challenges. He knew well just how difficult it was to overcome such a gap in levels. That was why it took him a full ten days to kill just over thirty monsters.

But Ye Feng’s score was over 50,000. If he wanted to challenge by skipping two levels, he would need to slay more than 500 demon beasts—50 per day, which was simply unimaginable. After all, just finding each demon beast took at least several hours. This led him to suspect that Ye Feng occasionally skipped three levels when challenging, in which case he would only need to slay around 50 demon beasts, about five per day—a result that was somewhat acceptable. It was also faster than him skipping two levels to slay demon beasts. He also knew that Ye Feng’s mastery integration level was 177; he could only gain points in the range of 151 to 200 levels. Skipping three levels meant entering the range of 301 to 350 levels. The demon beasts in this area had mastery integration levels twice that of Ye Feng’s, and they were all as strong as those at the level of Shi Hun. Even Tian Dao began to doubt whether Ye Feng had used some trick to cheat.

He couldn’t help but send a message, “Xiao Feng, did you encounter something special in that small secret realm just now?”

“No,” Ye Feng shook his head. “But I got some advantage when it came to scores. Since I’m not yet a level-10 powerhouse, I get a ten-fold score bonus.”

“I see!” Tian Dao finally understood. Ye Feng had simply skipped two levels when challenging, and this explanation made it reasonable.

At that moment, Shi Hun from the outer camp finally took action. He stepped forward and said coldly to Tian Dao, “Tian Dao, the powerhouses in your human camp are really getting better and better. Your Shi Kong mastery integration level is only in the 200s—is it really worth you intervening?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I only found out about Shi Kong’s disappearance when I saw him missing from your team,” Tian Dao said truthfully.

“Is that so? Shi Kong’s mastery level is 230. I really can’t think of anyone in your human camp, besides you, who could kill him in an instant.” Shi Hun didn’t believe Tian Dao hadn’t intervened. “I was at the scene of the death. There wasn’t even a single damaged leaf. You’re not telling me that the demon beasts in that small secret realm are smart enough to leave no traces of a fight, are you?”

Shi Hun’s words shocked everyone. To kill a powerhouse with a mastery level of 230 in an instant was something even Bu Sou couldn’t do without using time-stop skills.

“You needn’t argue with me about such things. If I say I didn’t do it, then it’s not me who did it,” Tian Dao said coldly. “I’m not low enough to resort to tricks like ambushes against juniors.”
“I’m sorry. It was me who killed him,” a voice suddenly rang out, drawing everyone’s attention.
Ye Feng slowly stepped out from the crowd, wearing an innocent expression, and spoke calmly.
“You?” Shi Hun stared intently at Ye Feng, trying to discern some clue from him.
“You don’t believe me?” Ye Feng smirked slightly. “Try it and you’ll know!”
The many strong warriors on the human side were momentarily stunned—Ye Feng had dared to challenge a figure at the level of theSwallowing clan’s patriarch.
“Xiao Feng, don’t be reckless!” Bu Xiao frowned deeply. Even he might not be able to defeat Shi Hun. It would surely bring no benefits for Ye Feng to act boldly in such a place.
“Where’s the body?” Shi Hun was reluctant to believe it was Ye Feng who did it. After all, this guy had just reached the level of a ninth-tier warrior. If he could kill Shi Kong, it would be utterly unbelievable. Yet, on the other hand, his intuition told him it was very likely true. Given Ye Feng’s score, it was obvious he had the strength to kill opponents beyond his own level.
“I’ve already refined the body,” Ye Feng shook his head and explained, “Here’s what happened: I had just entered the area between level 251 and 300 when that guy, Shi Kong, targeted me. He wanted to kill me, so of course I couldn’t let that happen. So I killed him instead. That’s all!”
“Is that so? Then try my move!” Shi Hun said with a cold smile, shooting out a black energy beam—powered by theSwallowing divine technique at level 343.
Just as Tian Dao was about to act, he saw Ye Feng unafraid at all. Two sword beams merged together and were sent out. Their power was even greater than Shi Hun’s move.
The finger strike and the sword energy collided, creating a fierce surge of force, before both vanished into nothingness.
Everyone was stunned by what happened. Not only were the warriors on the human side shocked, but even the strong ones from the foreign factions were filled with awe.
Even Tian Dao and Bu Xiao appeared stunned as they watched this scene unfold.

The most surprising one was Soul Devourer, who took the initiative to attack Ye Feng to test him—that was something he had never expected at all. It was only now that he realized Ye Feng’s claim that he had killed Sky Devourer must be true…
