The Emperor’s Sword was something that appeared within Ye Feng once he had opened four hundred acupoints in his body. It was a martial skill that corresponded with the Dao Technique he was practicing.
Sometimes, Ye Feng would think that the Emperor’s Sword might be similar to his own Object of the Divine Path, or perhaps the appearance of the Emperor’s Sword, in a way, compensated for the deficiency of the Divine Path Realm, given that the Dao Technique he practiced was confined to the Martial King Realm.
With a slash of his sword, in an instant, blades and swords fell with a mournful clang. Even if the opponent had set half a foot into the Divine Communication Realm from the Divine Path Realm, they couldn’t withstand Ye Feng’s Emperor’s Sword. Especially after cultivating the Emperor’s Dao, the power of the Emperor’s Sword became even more terrifying.
Moreover, after being spurred by Ye Feng’s Qi Essence, the power had risen by a level.
The expressions of the two Great Power Assassins changed drastically as they gritted their teeth and growled, "Good lad, we knew you were strong, but we never expected you to be so formidable – to the point where you can even repel our Divine Path Objects!"
Of course, it was merely a repulsion, and he did not destroy the Divine Path Objects of the two; after all, they were Half-Step Divine Ability Realm Level characters with considerable Qi Force, and naturally, their Divine Path Objects were also extremely formidable.
Ye Feng snorted coldly, "So what if it’s the Half-Step Divine Ability Realm? Today, I will let you see my true combat power!"
In a split second, the Qi Essence within Ye Feng surged out violently, funneling into the Emperor’s Sword, solidifying it further, and undoubtedly increasing its Sword Qi and momentum once again.
"Is that so? Well then, in that case, we will have to show you what divine abilities of the Divine Ability Realm are," the two Great Power Assassins sneered as they bared their teeth in a cold smile.
The Divine Ability Realm was so named because, reaching that level of cultivation, one could display various and sundry Divine Skills. Of course, these two had only set half a foot into that realm; even if they could exhibit Divine Skills, the range was significantly limited.
Nevertheless, even so, the strength of the two was undoubtedly formidable.
Ye Feng didn’t care; his Emperor’s Sword was already in motion, and he was fearless even if the path ahead was a mountain of blades or a sea of fire.
However, to his utter surprise, there truly was a sea of fire in front of him. Suddenly, one of the Great Power Assassins formed a Dharma Seal, then lifted their right hand’s index finger, and a small flame sprang from the fingertip.

With a single point of his finger, a terrifying Fire Dragon burst forth instantly, forming a sea of fire in no time. The Fire Dragon roared and surged within it, immediately blocking the Emperor’s Sword and even seemingly entrapping it.
"Divine Power, the Fire Divine Power – that’s the mightiness of a Divine Ability Realm Great Power!" Ye Feng’s brows furrowed tightly as he struggled to maneuver the Emperor’s Sword, yet found himself unable to break free.
While the other side aimed to use the roaring Fire Dragon to shatter the Emperor’s Sword, they were unable to accomplish that in a short time; they could only confine it instead.
"Hurry and employ your Divine Skills; this lad’s sword is extraordinary. We must fight quickly and decide the outcome for my Divine Skills can’t be maintained for too long!" one of the Great Power Assassins shouted coldly.
Without another word, the other assassin began to form incantations rapidly. Suddenly, silver vines sprouted from behind, dancing and sweeping towards them, instantly entwining and sealing the Emperor’s Sword.
"Now that his Emperor’s Sword is trapped, kill him quickly!" The two assassins were still Half-Step Divine Ability Realm powers, with terrifying strength. Their deployment of Divine Skills had even managed to trap Ye Feng’s Emperor’s Sword within.
Ye Feng had not anticipated that the opponents would be so strong, and what’s more, there were two half-step Divine Ability Great Powers confronting him. However, even in such a situation, he remained entirely unperturbed.
You see, his Emperor’s Sword was just one form, not a real sword in the truest sense, and as long as it existed as a form, it could be changed entirely.
"Disperse!" Ye Feng sneered coldly, and then the Emperor’s Sword simply dissipated, turning into strands of Qi Essence. Indeed, the Emperor’s Sword was condensed from his own Qi Essence, and of course, its power was much stronger than that of ordinary Qi Force condensation. This was also why he was able to contend with Half-Step Divine Ability Realm powers now.
However, the two assassins were no simple foes. After a moment of stunned pause, they directly controlled the Fire Dragon and the vines to rush towards Ye Feng for the kill.
The Fire Dragon rumbled, and the vines swept through – these were Divine Skills, whose power was many times greater than that of an Object of the Divine Path.

Still, Ye Feng remained standing in place, merely watching coldly as the onslaught seemed to quickly spread towards him.
Hong Qingyan couldn’t help but shout loudly in panic, "Big Brother Ye, be careful, dodge quickly!"
Although Hong Qingyan was desperate to rush forward and block in front of Ye Feng, at the moment, he was entangled by two powerful beings and was utterly unable to extricate himself. As for the other four bodyguard powerhouses of Shi Yehong, they were in no better situation, utterly unable to spare any effort to assist.
To the shouts, Ye Feng remained as if deaf, still standing erect and unmoved. Just as the Fire Dragon was about to reach his forehead, a scroll suddenly burst forth from his brow.
"Emperor’s Dao, Emperor’s Order, suppress!" Ye Feng shouted angrily.
As the scroll appeared, an ancient Token suddenly soared from it and struck towards the Fire Dragon in front. In an instant, the Fire Dragon became like a tamed pet, obediently coming to a halt. The same went for the vines; they too stopped immediately, revealing fear amidst their docility, and ultimately submitting within that terror.
This was a kind of fear and submission that subordinates have towards their king!
"Go!" Ye Feng waved his Great Hand, and the Fire Dragon along with the vines immediately changed direction, rolling and rushing towards the two Great Power assassins.
At this moment, the two were utterly shocked. They stood there wide-eyed as if they had seen a ghost. They knew this was their own Divine Skills, yet, someone… someone had actually tamed them. This was simply too shocking.
Fortunately, both were at the Half-Step Divine Ability Realm. Having lived for quite some time and seen a great deal, they quickly recovered from their shock. Both repeatedly performed the Magic Seal Incantation, trying to regain control of their Divine Skills.
What they hadn’t expected, however, was that no matter how they tried to manipulate it, their Divine Skills simply wouldn’t respond to their commands any longer.
Boom…
Along with an earth-shattering noise, the Fire Dragon instantly swallowed both individuals, and the vines lashed directly onto their bodies, sending them flying on the spot. Of course, if these two Great Power assassins didn’t have Protective Magical Treasures, it would have been more than just injuries.
As the Fire Dragon and vines dissipated, it became clear that although the two Great Power assassins hadn’t fallen to the ground, they staggered with a wretched appearance, and one of them even had blood at the corner of his mouth.
"The so-called Divine Ability Realm, I see it’s nothing much. I wasn’t satisfied just now. Why don’t you try displaying an even more powerful one?" Ye Feng sneered dismissively with a cold huff.
At this, the complexions of the two Great Power assassins completely changed. If they displayed an even more powerful Divine Skill, wouldn’t the backlash be even greater? They feared they would end up severely injured or even near death, not just hurt.
However, thinking about it, given their current Half-Step Divine Ability Realm Level of cultivation, the Divine Skills they had just deployed were already the strongest they had. Yet, even the strongest could neither take down their opponent nor prevent being counterattacked.
At this point, both Great Powers knew in their hearts that they were no match for their adversary. Although this young man was not old, his cultivation was unfathomably deep.
"Kid, you really are strong, but there will always be someone who will deal with you!"
"Let’s go!" After saying that, the two leaped up and vanished entirely, escaping without a trace of hesitation, even abandoning their companions who had come with them.
Seeing the situation turn sour, the others fled in panic. Hong Qingyan naturally could not stop them. Although she was a cultivator, her time in practice was relatively short and her combat experience was not rich. As for Shi Yehong’s four secret bodyguards, they were even less capable. They had already been at a disadvantage in the previous fight, and now they couldn’t possibly give chase.
Of course, for everyone involved, this outcome was already quite good. Throughout the process, Ye Feng simply stood quietly in place, watching the assassins flee, with no intention of pursuing them.
Hong Qingyan swiftly approached and said, "Big Brother Ye, you’ve really become even more powerful. You can even defeat those in the Half-Step Divine Ability Realm, much more powerful than at yesterday’s Martial Dao conference."
The four secret bodyguards also stepped forward and said, "Your subordinates have seen our lord, your Divine Skills are unmatched…"
However, before the four could finish speaking, Ye Feng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which shocked everyone present. Naturally, the most worried of all was Hong Qingyan. She couldn’t help but exclaim, "Big Brother Ye, how are you, are you okay?"
Ye Feng waved his hand and said with a smile, "It’s nothing. I just forcibly used something I’m not yet skilled at, it’s not a big deal. Help me into the carriage, a little breath regulation, and I’ll be fine!"
Truth be told, this was the first time Ye Feng had forcibly used the Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll. Of course, the reason he dared to do so was that last night, during cultivation, he discovered that he could already slightly mobilize it.
Given the situation just now, his Emperor’s Sword could not compete with the enemy’s Divine Skills; therefore, out of necessity, Ye Feng had no choice but to forcefully use the scroll. He knew very clearly that this scroll was far from ordinary and would undoubtedly be able to withstand the attack.
What Ye Feng had never anticipated was that, as he mobilized the scroll, a Dao Technique suddenly appeared in his mind – the Emperor’s Order, the very Magic Technique he had just deployed. Emperor’s Decree, that none under heaven dare disobey!
It was precisely because of the benefits of this Emperor’s Decree that he managed to break the Divine Skills of the two Great Power assassins in an instant. Of course, doing so caused a great backlash against Ye Feng himself, particularly in his head, which felt as if countless ants were biting painfully.
Ye Feng was well aware that this was due to his insufficient spiritual power and Divine Sense strength. It seemed that using this scroll relied greatly on spiritual power and Divine Sense, or perhaps on the more profound notions of consciousness or will, rather than Qi Force or Spirit Essence.
"So it turns out that it’s activated by the will and Divine Sense. This Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll is truly extraordinary!" Ye Feng mused silently, then entered the carriage, closed his eyes, and began breath regulation.
But even knowing that the scroll was controlled by will and Divine Sense, he had no means to act under the current circumstances. After all, he couldn’t cultivate spiritual power or Primordial Spirit at this stage.
Luckily, his foundation was strong. With just a short period of breath regulation, the explosive pain in his head eased, and the carriage slowly set off, continuing northward.
