Chapter 920: Chapter 0920: Take One More Step Forward, and I’ll Send You on Your Way
Yuan Feng and Feng Ya’s combined attack technique— even Yuan Shu himself doesn’t have absolute confidence in being able to withstand it.
Their husband-and-wife partnership is perfectly attuned, to the point that they can be said to act as one entity. A single glance, a mere motion, and they instantly grasp each other’s next move!
Most importantly, their combined attack technique completely merges their strength into a single, powerful strike.
Although one plus one equals two, under Yuan Feng and Feng Ya’s combined technique, one plus one does not necessarily equal two!
Upon approaching Yuan Feng, Feng Ya wasted no words, unleashing a ferocious tidal wave of attacks aimed directly at Ye Xunhuan.
However, before the two could close the distance to Ye Xunhuan, a streak of cold light suddenly shot out from nowhere, sharp and deadly.
It gleamed like the galaxy across the heavens, radiating a dazzling brilliance!
Seeing this display, Feng Ya and Yuan Feng quickly dodged to the side.
As soon as they avoided the deadly streak of cold light, they pivoted their bodies and launched another headlong charge at Ye Xunhuan, determined to force the mysterious attacker from hiding.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Two more streaks of cold light— like ghostly flames birthed in hell— emerged once again, aimed straight at Yuan Feng and Feng Ya.
The moment the streaks appeared, their destructive intent became evident: the ground beneath their feet instantly emitted a cracking sound!
Yuan Feng and Feng Ya’s expressions grew grim. They dared not advance further and rapidly retreated backward.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan drew a sharp breath.
Damn it, just who is this hidden figure? Without even showing their face, they’ve managed to force Yuan Feng and Feng Ya into retreat.
If they were to appear in person, wouldn’t they eliminate the two instantly?
After a brief moment of shock, Ye Xunhuan recovered his composure and turned to Yuan Feng and Feng Ya, declaring: "Looks like you won’t be killing me today. Bye now— take your time!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan turned and prepared to leave.
Ye Xunhuan wasn’t foolish. If he didn’t leave now, then when?
He knew this was his best chance to escape, especially with the hidden ally keeping Yuan Feng and Feng Ya away from him.
Although Ye Xunhuan was curious about the person helping him, survival took precedence in such a perilous moment.
After all, this individual was evidently a friend, not an enemy.
Moreover, since the person had chosen to assist him, they would surely cross paths again someday.
"Kid! Don’t think you can leave without telling me who taught you the White Shou Tai Xuan Sutra!"
Yuan Feng shouted, charging at Ye Xunhuan again.
But in the next instant, a web of sword energy enveloped Yuan Feng, causing his expression to change drastically. He dared not take another step closer and hastily dodged to the side.
"Take one step further, and I’ll send you to the afterlife!"
A sinister, icy voice full of commanding presence thundered in the air like spurts of muffled lightning.
Upon hearing the voice, Yuan Feng and Feng Ya’s faces changed dramatically.
They tried to pinpoint the speaker’s location through the sound, but their efforts were futile.
The opponent had skillfully channeled their Inner Strength to project their voice, akin to the Shaolin technique Lion’s Roar, resonating across the surroundings. Finding them by sound alone was nigh impossible.
"Who exactly are you?" Yuan Feng asked coldly, his face grim.
After years spent secluded from the world atop Shu Mountain, descending now had brought one shock after another— first encountering Ye Xunhuan, a peerless prodigy, and now coming face-to-face with an unfathomably terrifying figure.
The only sounds permeating the area were the whispers of the wind— all else was silence.
Yuan Feng was helplessly uncertain of his next move.
Strike?
But who the hell knew where this hidden figure was lurking? If they truly intended to kill, could he possibly defend?
Yuan Feng’s expression shifted unpredictably, alternating between shadow and light; Feng Ya’s visage mirrored his own conflicted turmoil.
But what could they do? The two of them couldn’t even glimpse their opponent’s shadow— how could they launch their combined attack?
Though their collaboration was fearsome, it still required a target!
Without something to aim at, even their immense power was wasted.
Just then, an abrupt groan echoed behind them.
Hearing this, Yuan Feng and Feng Ya’s faces paled as if struck by realization. They swiftly turned to look.
In the next moment, Yuan Shu’s head— severed cleanly by some sharp weapon— came into view, rolling bloodied across the ground. His lifeless eyes were wide open.
It was as though he had witnessed something horrific at the moment of his death; his fear-stricken gaze and pallid face radiated terror. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Seeing Yuan Shu’s decapitated corpse, Yuan Feng and Feng Ya’s hearts plunged into the depths of despair and dread. Their entire bodies felt as if submerged in icy waters.
Th-the opponent had killed Yuan Shu— under their very noses, no less— and had done so with such stealth that no sound or trace betrayed the perpetrator. Worse, his head was severed outright!
Who would believe this if word got out?
Evidently, the strength of Yuan Feng and Feng Ya was known far and wide among all martial sects. How could someone manage to kill so brazenly under their watchful eyes?
But the evidence was right there, leaving no room for doubt!
In the next moment, Yuan Feng and Feng Ya’s throats tightened slightly as they exchanged glances. In each other’s eyes, they could see thick, unmistakable fear.
Even with Yuan Shu grievously injured, he was far from uncontested— but somehow, he had been decapitated without any visible resistance, seemingly overcome with immense shock as he perished.
Who is this person? How can they be so terrifying?
If they wanted to kill us...
The thought sent uncontrollable chills down Yuan Feng and Feng Ya’s spines.
"Senior! Who exactly are you? Shu Mountain bears you no enmity. Why kill my master?" Yuan Feng summoned his courage and roared.
Yet aside from Yuan Feng’s echoing voice, the surroundings remained utterly silent.
Peaceful and still.
By this time, Ye Xunhuan had already departed from the scene and was unaware of everything that transpired afterward. If he had seen it all, Ye Xunhuan likely wouldn’t have believed it either!
Someone had audaciously slaughtered Yuan Shu right before Yuan Feng and Feng Ya’s eyes.
However, even if Ye Xunhuan learned about this, he wouldn’t say much— perhaps he’d even clap and cheer!
After all, Yuan Shu had genuinely intended to kill him earlier; now that Yuan Shu was dead, Ye Xunhuan had one less enemy. How could he not be delighted?
As for how Shu Mountain would handle the aftermath, that was none of Ye Xunhuan’s concern.
If the sect wanted revenge, Ye Xunhuan would face it when the time came!
Still, in light of this incident, it was certain that Shu Mountain would now tread cautiously around Ye Xunhuan. Especially since this hidden ally hadn’t revealed themselves— who knew what relation they shared with Ye Xunhuan?
Could it be that they were constantly protecting him?
If so, eliminating Ye Xunhuan would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!
