Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Leaving the Pass_1
This move, when cast, made the white light shine with dazzling brilliance.
The entire Inverted Mountain seemed as if it were about to be split in half by this white line.
Time, spells, any attack seemed as if there was nothing the white line couldn’t cut through.
Originally, the sky-high curtain of water had been surging mightily, roaring as it came crashing down.
But it was split in two by Ye Fei’s Severing Mountains and Rivers, which he slashed head-on, causing the water to pour down from both sides of him.
At that moment, Ye Fei was like a swordsman with soaring sword intent, as if all the cleverness in the world would be severed by a single strike of his sword.
This technique, although taught to Ye Fei by an old man when he first began his cultivation,
had, through the trials of countless aeons, come to closely resemble an immortal’s spell.
And now, it had reached the pinnacle of sword intent.
Even though Ye Fei didn’t possess the power of an immortal sovereign, just wielding one percent, or even one thousandth of its power, was enough to shatter the proud technique of this Ah Si.
The water curtain receded, but the white thread did not disappear.
With a flick of his wrist, Ye Fei sent it shooting straight towards Ah Si.
The next moment, Ah Si’s frail body was already bound by the white thread, drawn before Ye Fei.
"How about this move?"
The white thread vibrated, slicing through Ah Si’s mask with a ripple and leaving her pale.
Controlling the mighty water curtain had drained all the Spiritual Energy from within her body.
Now controlled by Ye Fei, she didn’t have an ounce of strength to resist.
"Immortal arts... where did you learn them?"
Ah Si bit down on her teeth, barely managing to squeeze out these words.
Ye Fei looked at her indifferently, with a slight smile:
"I told you, you’re not worthy of knowing."
"Now, it’s time for you to pay for your deeds."
As Ye Fei spoke, his left hand glowed brilliantly, and his bones shimmered with a lustrous light, seemingly translucent.
"If you kill me, the Pangu Sect will pursue you endlessly!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Ye Fei said with a faint smile.
"Well, I’ll have to think about that."
As he spoke, Ye Fei’s palm, light as a feather, landed on the top of Ah Si’s head.
It was as if struck by a heavy hammer; Ah Si felt a boom in her head, then lost consciousness.
She collapsed to the ground in a heap, and Ye Fei reached out to check on her.
"Not a bad constitution, she’s not dead from that."
With a sigh, Ye Fei casually extracted a few silver needles, flicking them at Ah Si’s Dantian.
The needles entered her and quickly disappeared.
Having done all this, Ye Fei’s face suddenly turned pale, and he fell forward.
"Puh!"
A large mouthful of blood spewed out, staining Ah Si’s white dress red.
After an unknown amount of time, Ah Si slowly regained consciousness.
In a daze, she felt as if someone was pressing down on her, heavy.
"Ye Fei?!"
Seeing the man who had collapsed on top of her, Ah Si’s face changed.
A ferocious smile appeared on her face, and she raised her hand high.
"The heavens are aiding me, Ye Fei, tomorrow will be your death anniversary!"
Saying this, her hand came down, heavily striking Ye Fei’s back.
Slap!
A crisp sound echoed, and Ah Si froze.
The Ye Fei on top of her did not crumble as she had imagined or get his chest pierced through.
The palm strike was ordinary and landed on Ye Fei’s back.
It even caused Ah Si’s own hand to start turning red.
"What’s going on?"
Ah Si’s eyes widened, disbelieving what was happening in front of her.
She raised her hand high again, but it was suddenly grasped by a clean white hand.
"What, one hit wasn’t enough for you?"
Somehow, Ye Fei had already woken up.
Ah Si looked at him incredulously, grimacing from the pain in her wrist.
"Trying to kill me?"
Ye Fei said with a smile, pointing as he looked at the puzzled Ah Si,
"Try moving your Dantian."
Ah Si paused, then remembering something, she focused, preparing to circulate her Spiritual Energy despite Ye Fei’s closeness.
Before she could start moving, a wave of excruciating pain suddenly turned her face pale as if a knife were twisting in her chest.
"Puh!"
Spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, Ah Si looked at Ye Fei, her eyes filled with disbelief,
"What have you done to me?!"
By now, Ye Fei had already stood up, looking down at the limp Ah Si with a light smile:
"Nothing much, just sealed your Dantian is all."
"Why are you doing this? Why not just kill me!"
Ah Si’s voice was sharp, and without the ability to circulate Spiritual Energy, she was no different from an ordinary person.
If Ye Fei wanted to kill her now, it would be as easy as squashing an ant.
Ye Fei leaned close, gripping her chin with one hand, and said fiercely:
"Kill you? Wouldn’t that be letting you off too easily?"
"You’ve caused chaos in the Ye Family and tried to kill me multiple times, why should I let you off that easily?"
"From now on, you’ll follow me. If you dare to harbor any ill intentions..."
Ye Fei smiled, baring his shiny white teeth:
"It’d be useless."
Ah Si’s face was complex as she looked up at the seemingly harmless smiling Ye Fei.
It was this very man who had just slaughtered all the Pangu Sect members who’d accompanied her here, even restraining her own Spiritual Energy.
After a long while, she let out a long sigh.
If this was surviving, even though it felt no different from being dead, if she could contact the Pangu Sect, she could still avenge this great grievance.
Ye Fei said indifferently, "Alright, clean yourself up and follow me."
With that, he turned and walked away.
