Chapter 305: Chapter 304: Tit for Tat
anwhile, the Ice Phoenix Sect Master returned to the Futian Alliance Headquarters.
The Qianren Building Master asked him, "How strong is our opponent?"
The Ice Phoenix Sect Master said, "That man’s swordsmanship is incredibly unorthodox. His combat power is imnse, and his blade is incredibly sharp. Without the Ice Phoenix Pearl, I have no confidence in defeating him!"
The Tiangang Sect Master said disdainfully, "That only proves you’re a weakling!"
"Dare to say that one more ti?" the Ice Phoenix Sect Master imdiately shot back. Provoked repeatedly by the Tiangang Sect Master, he had lost his patience and finally unleashed his temper.
The Tiangang Sect Master spoke again, "A weakling is a weakling. Don’t try to hide your feeble strength behind your temper!"
At this, the Ice Phoenix Sect Master erupted. He gathered his Water Elental Power and launched a palm strike at the Tiangang Sect Master, who imdiately moved to defend himself.
BANG!
After the strike, the Ice Phoenix Sect Master stood his ground, while the Tiangang Sect Master staggered back several steps before he could barely regain his footing.
"Stop this at once!" the other two sect leaders imdiately tried to intervene.
But this ti, they could not dissuade the Ice Phoenix Sect Master. He attacked again, conjuring myriads of water streams that hurtled toward the Tiangang Sect Master.
"This is bad, we must stop him!"
"Exactly!"
The Qianren Building Master and the Jingang Pavilion Master rushed forward, trying to stop the Ice Phoenix Sect Master. But he was too strong. Even with the three of them acting together, they only felt themselves entangled by a soft, enveloping shadow of water.
"Break!"
With a loud shout from the Ice Phoenix Sect Master, the water shadow exploded, sending the three of them flying backward. They could only watch him with wary eyes.
The Ice Phoenix Sect Master stood his ground and said contemptuously, "Watch your words next ti. Just because I don’t make a move doesn’t an I don’t have a temper! If you dare try that again, I’ll do more than just leave you looking pathetic."
"Hmph!"
The Tiangang Sect Master snorted coldly. Although he was seething with rage, he had to admit that he was no match for the Ice Phoenix Sect Master. It wasn’t just him. Even with all three of them fighting together, their chances of victory were slim.
The Ice Phoenix Sect Master returned to his room. He rolled up his sleeve, revealing a shocking wound on his wrist. This wound was left by Ye Fan’s Yuanhong Sword. He had managed to suppress the injury, so it hadn’t bled at the ti.
The Ice Phoenix Sect Master said coldly, "King of Heaven, it seems you are more powerful than I imagined. Next ti we fight, I will go all out!"
...
The next day, the fierce sun blazed down from high above, its glare turning the ground into a steaming furnace that roasted everything. The martial artists of the Heavenly King Hall and Huaxia Sword Coming stood under the scorching sun, their postures upright. Drenched in sweat, they did not move an inch.
In contrast, the Futian Alliance had no such imposing formation. Although they were nurous, they were all sprawled under the shade of trees like dead dogs, trying to cool off.
When the Ice Phoenix Sect Master saw this sight, he knew that if a real battle broke out now, the Futian Alliance would be completely crushed in short order. Even he had to admit to the discipline of the martial artists from the Heavenly King Hall and Huaxia Sword Coming. They were truly deadly weapons on the battlefield.
At this point, even Ye Fan was tempted. He wanted to organize a charge and completely dismantle the Futian Alliance. However, to avoid unnecessary casualties, he restrained himself.
Zhan Xiong also stood calmly beside Ye Fan, with the other senior leaders not far away.
At this mont, Ye Fan shouted loudly, "As the saying goes, when two armies clash, the innocent should not be hard. The crux of this conflict is between the few of us leaders! Therefore, victory or defeat should be decided among us alone!"
Upon hearing this, the martial artists on the opposing side began to murmur among themselves. Despite being enemies, they supported Ye Fan’s proposal, as they themselves were not well-trained warriors. At that mont, their will to fight was waning, and their panicked hearts gradually settled.
When the leaders of the Futian Alliance heard this, they could no longer sit still. The Jingang Pavilion Master was the first to object, "I disagree!"
"I don’t agree either!" the Tiangang Sect Master chid in.
"I’m indifferent," the Qianren Building Master stated.
The Ice Phoenix Sect Master, however, assessed the situation and said, "I agree!"
"What?"
"You!"
The other three looked at him questioningly. He explained, "Leave the King of Heaven to . You can deal with the others yourselves!"
By now, the Ice Phoenix Sect Master knew it was impossible for the Futian Alliance to win. In his eyes, the alliance was nothing but cannon fodder put forth by the Divine Dragon. The Ice Phoenix Sect Master had lost all interest in helping such cannon fodder; in fact, he disdained the very idea. All he wanted now was to reclaim his honor from Ye Fan.
The masters of the Jingang Pavilion, Qianren Building, and Tiangang Sect were indeed nervous, but at this stage, nervousness was useless.
At this ti, Ye Fan gave Black Fog a knowing look.
Having grown through slaughter and tempering, Black Fog understood this principle well. Thus, he was eager to step forward.
As soon as Black Fog made his move, the Jingang Pavilion Master stepped up. He knew that Black Fog was the weakest of the opponents present. If he didn’t fight Black Fog, he might not even have a chance to win. After all, their peak combat power was far below that of their enemies.
He said to Black Fog, "Let
have a go at you!"
But Black Fog just shook his head and said, "You’re too weak. Get soone else."
It had to be said, this was a blatant and arrogant insult.
For this reason, the Jingang Pavilion Master rebuked, "I hope you can still be this arrogant later!"
He imdiately rushed toward Black Fog, displaying the strengths of the Jingang Pavilion lineage to their fullest. The mightiest technique of the Jingang Pavilion lineage was the Vajra Fist, an unparalleled and extrely fierce martial art. After all, the Jingang Pavilion had its glory days when an Emperor Level expert had once erged from their ranks.
Employing his full True Qi, he imdiately clashed with Black Fog.
"Vajra Tiger!"
He pressed down from above, aiming to kill Black Fog in an instant.
At that mont, Black Fog drew his dagger. The glint of the blade in the sunlight dazzled the Jingang Pavilion Master, prompting him to instinctively shut his eyes. But it was in that exact mont that Black Fog struck, attacking with the utmost speed.
The mont they clashed, the Jingang Pavilion Master let out a muffled grunt and collapsed to one knee.
Looking at Black Fog, blood dripped from the dagger in his hand. It was clearly the Jingang Pavilion Master’s blood. The man could never have imagined he would fall in just one move.
"Kill!"
Unwilling to accept defeat, he charged at Black Fog again.
Black Fog spun the dagger. As the Jingang Pavilion Master lunged, Black Fog leaped behind him and drove the dagger down, piercing his neck.
In the next instant, he withdrew his hand, wiped the dagger clean, and faced the dying Jingang Pavilion Master with the stance of a victor.
The Jingang Pavilion Master struggled briefly and then perished. The mbers of the Jingang Pavilion were horrified. Instead of anger, they trembled with terror. With their leader slain, they lost all courage, not even daring to retrieve his body.
What a cruel way to kill! That dagger is sharp, and every blow is fatal. He’s definitely a formidable assassin! Leng Feng and Leng Jian were inwardly shocked. Black Fog had killed the Jingang Pavilion Master in just two moves.
Even if the Jingang Pavilion Master was weak, killing him so quickly would still be incredibly difficult. But Black Fog had done it. His thods of killing were truly beyond their expectations.
The Qianren Building Master and the Tiangang Sect Master were also taken aback. They knew the Jingang Pavilion Master had a weak foundation, but they never expected him to fall so quickly.
Their side’s morale was completely gone.
The Ice Phoenix Sect Master shook his head. He had known this would be the outco all along and still intended to watch from the sidelines. His true opponent was Ye Fan, and he believed defeating him was the only way to turn the entire situation around.
