Chapter 2439: Chapter 2428: Transformation! Shift and Substitution!
Ye Chenfeng grasped the Qingyun Sword from his back.
The aura of the Mid Divine King Realm surged out from his body.
The Ghost Venerable transmitted his voice to Ye Chenfeng again: "You truly are an overconfident brat. Since you don’t want to die quickly, this venerable shall grant your wish."
Layer upon layer of black spiritual energy swirled around the Ghost Venerable.
The cultivators inside the Slaughter Hall, especially those who survived through killing, could relax slightly. As for the ones who hadn’t experienced murder yet, their nerves remained tense. However, at this moment, everyone was temporarily captivated by the killing within the holy light, as the outcome seemed obvious to them.
A battle between a Mid Divine King and an Early Divine Venerate, with such a huge disparity in power, they believed they could predict the result even by using their behinds.
Ye Chenfeng and the Ghost Venerable, enveloped in white holy light, still had plenty of space to fight.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t want to waste time; he wanted to end the battle quickly.
The Unyielding Sword Intent inside him began to operate.
Black chain illusions appeared behind the Qingyun Sword and his back.
No one could perceive any aura from this move. Even those skilled in Sword Intent couldn’t be sure Ye Chenfeng was using Sword Soul above the tenth-tier Sword Intent without having comprehended the Sword Soul.
However.
In the right corner of the Slaughter Hall, there was a youth wearing a white robe.
This youth was handsome, with fair complexion, exuding an aura that seemed to disdain the world, somewhat out of place with his surroundings.
Ripples surfaced in his unfazed eyes, and he murmured softly, "Sword Soul? Unexpectedly, there’s someone who comprehended the Sword Soul here. Judging by his aura, he shouldn’t be very old; quite interesting. But his opponent might not be simple either, despite being at the Early Divine Venerate Realm, his aura is very sinister."
No one paid attention to this youth, as he only possessed the strength of a Half-step Divine Venerable. As for his exact age? That was unknown.
Ye Chenfeng had already swung the Qingyun Sword swiftly toward the Ghost Venerable.
"Black Lock of Sword Soul!"
Fifty to sixty black chains emerged, violently charging toward the Ghost Venerable, wildly dancing in the air, blocking all directions of escape for the Ghost Venerable.
The Ghost Venerable repeatedly executed various maneuvers with his palms, yet couldn’t destroy the incoming black chains.
With a "boom!"
The black chains abruptly wrapped around the Ghost Venerable from all directions.
At the moment they encircled the Ghost Venerable, a torrent of extreme Sword Intent, extreme Sword Qi, and extreme aura exploded from the chains.
The garments on Ghost Venerable were swiftly shattered, as unsettling wounds appeared one after another.
The strangling power of the Black Lock of Sword Soul seemed poised to turn Ghost Venerable into a mist of blood.
Seeing this, the cultivators outside the holy light wore different expressions. This scene exceeded all their expectations, especially Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong, who had used voice transmission to confront Ye Chenfeng; their expressions were undeniably ugly.
Just as the Black Lock of Sword Soul was about to unleash its extreme power.
A peculiar fluctuation emerged from the Ghost Venerable’s body; the black spiritual energy he emitted grew more abundant and richer.
"Shifting Shadow!"
A "bang!" echoed.
Under the strangulation of the Black Lock of Sword Soul, the Ghost Venerable wrapped in chains suddenly exploded in the air, yet no blood mist spread.
The Black Lock of Sword Soul strangled only an apparition of spiritual energy from the Ghost Venerable.
The real Ghost Venerable had relocated to the right side, completely escaping the entanglement of the Black Lock of Sword Soul.
This Shifting Shadow was the move Ghost Venerable used in critical moments to save himself. When attacked by a lethal move, if unable to resist or escape in time, Shifting Shadow was the only option.
This move allows him to transfer his true form away, leaving behind only an apparition of spiritual energy.
However, the Shifting Shadow can only be used six times a day. After reaching the limit, it would have to wait until the next day to be used again.
Although the Shifting Shadow could transfer his true form, Ghost Venerable had just sensed the exceptional nature of the holy light; his body couldn’t be transferred outside its coverage by Shifting Shadow.
Though his true form was moved out, much of his clothing was destroyed, and the hood concealing his face was also shattered by the prior Sword Qi and Sword Intent.
Without the hood hiding his face.
The Ghost Venerable’s entire face looked terrifying, covered in black bumps, with eyes showing eerie green, appearing far from being a human cultivator.
Using Shifting Shadow to relocate his true form, the Ghost Venerable didn’t pause for a second, his anger had clearly reached its peak. Had it not been for Shifting Shadow, he would have been dead by Ye Chenfeng’s hand; he underestimated Ye Chenfeng, whose combat strength is this formidable.
The Ghost Venerable was in no mood to slowly torment Ye Chenfeng; it would be a total embarrassment if he fell unexpectedly.
Therefore.
After using Shifting Shadow to escape the entanglement of the Black Lock of Sword Soul, his figure swiftly charged towards Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng was clearly unprepared for the Ghost Venerable having this move.
Faced with the Ghost Venerable’s rapid assault.
Ye Chenfeng reacted a second too late, instinctively trying to defend against the Ghost Venerable’s attack with the Qingyun Sword.
With a "bang!"
A black palm stamp struck directly onto the Qingyun Sword.
Ye Chenfeng’s footing was pushed back five steps; his hand holding the Qingyun Sword instantly cracked with numerous wounds.
Warm blood oozed from the wounds, quickly soaking the Qingyun Sword’s hilt, and began flowing towards its blade.
Following this.
The Ghost Venerable gave Ye Chenfeng no time to use the Black Lock of Sword Soul.
Relentlessly unleashing rapid attacks on Ye Chenfeng.
Throughout this process, the wounds on Ye Chenfeng’s right hand holding the Qingyun Sword multiplied and enlarged, with blood flowing continuously.
No one present, including Ye Chenfeng himself, noticed that the Qingyun Sword, once rusted, was gradually shedding its rust.
Since obtaining the Qingyun Sword, it remained in a rusted state, unchanged, making it impossible to assess its quality.
Now, the Qingyun Sword was finally undergoing a transformation.
The rust on the blade peeled away faster and faster, revealing its original appearance.
Sharpness.
Slowly spread through the air.
