MTLNOVEL Chapter 547: Cleaning House?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wang Mian walked straight towards Feng Yueji.
Over a hundred Tianyin Sect disciples formed a circle, watching excitedly!
They hadn't seen the Sect Leader personally take action for many years, and they wondered just how powerful the Sect Leader had become after reaching the Middle Stage Maestro!
Du Sengming, Fang Zhao, as well as Hua Zhi and Ge Hui, still stood at the hall's entrance, watching with a sneer!
To them, Wang Mian wiping out the traitor Feng Yueji was nothing more than a matter of convenience!
"Feng Yueji, I have loved and cared for you since childhood, nurtured you as my successor, yet you betrayed our sect, shaming my life-long reputation! Today, I'll cleanse the sect and set an example!"
For a quick resolution, Wang Mian slid out a sleeve arrow in his hand, coldly stating to Feng Yueji!
Feng Yueji furrowed her brows. Seeing the sleeve arrow in Wang Mian's hand, she knew that Wang Mian was truly intent on killing, as he only revealed this weapon at such times!
"Using a weapon against a disciple—Wang Mian, just with this narrow-mindedness, you've already lowered your standing."
Jiang Feng watched from the side, scoffing disdainfully, then, in a flash, snatched a sword from a nearby Tianyin disciple in the audience and tossed it casually to Feng Yueji.
The disciple wanted to curse, but seeing Jiang Feng's expressionless form, he abruptly shut his mouth, not daring to utter a word.
"Do as I've told you, give it your all, he won't be your match." Jiang Feng calmly said to Feng Yueji.
"Yes, Master!" Feng Yueji tightly gripped the sword, took a deep breath, and replied.
"I'm not her match? Ridiculous!" Wang Mian nearly burst into a derisive laugh at Jiang Feng's audacious words!
He knew Feng Yueji had taken Jiang Feng as her master, but just thinking that, with a few moves learned from Jiang Feng, she could defeat him was absurd!
"Feng Yueji, show me your true skills, let me see what you've learned from him!" Wang Mian sneered disdainfully, pointing the sleeve arrow at Feng Yueji mockingly!
"Master, the grievances between us end today!" Feng Yueji's face was stern, and a trace of determination finally flashed in her eyes!
At the same time, her "Phoenix Glaze Skill" suddenly began to operate, and powerful Inner Strength instantly infused her whole body. Feng Yueji's wrist trembled, the sword sheath suddenly flew out, and the snow-white sword blade shimmered with dazzling white light, sharp and intimidating.
"Prepare to die!!!"
Wang Mian shouted loudly.
As soon as the words fell, his figure moved first!
Under everyone's gaze, Wang Mian, holding the sleeve arrow, rushed towards Feng Yueji at high speed, launching the first attack!
Fast!
This was the immediate reaction he gave people!
After all, Wang Mian had just broken through to the Middle Stage Maestro, and his essence, energy, and spirit were all in a peak realm, covering the ten-meter distance in an instant!
Faced with Wang Mian's swift assault, Feng Yueji did not exhibit the panic expected of her, a revelation that even astonished her!
So, she did not dodge but merely stood in place, waiting for him to enter the attack range.
Hmm?
Wang Mian initially thought that Feng Yueji would be frightened by his momentum, blindly dodging or attacking, allowing him to exploit the vulnerability exposed during Feng Yueji's hasty actions and swiftly and cleanly strike her down!
But at this moment, seeing Feng Yueji not dodging or evading, his plan could not be realized, so he had to change his strategy, his right hand suddenly swung, making a motion as if to assassinate Feng Yueji.
Yet, Feng Yueji remained unmoved, seemingly adhering to a stance of confronting ever-changing challenges with unchanging resolve.
Whoosh!
Just then, Wang Mian altered his move. While creating the illusion of an assassination, he took a quick step towards Feng Yueji, his wrist twisting, and the sleeve arrow, like a streak of cold light, slashed towards Feng Yueji's throat!
A single strike to kill!
This change in Wang Mian's move was incredibly fast, something an ordinary person simply couldn't guard against!
However——
In the face of Wang Mian's sinister attack, Feng Yueji became even calmer!
Her eyes locked tightly onto Wang Mian's aura, immediately detecting his change in tactic.
At this moment, she finally understood what Jiang Feng meant by seeing others' attacks as "slow motion," a feeling she now comprehended!
At this moment, Wang Mian appeared in her eyes as if an elderly man was doing a slow dance!
She could hardly believe she had become so strong!
Instantly bolstered, her confidence surged!
Right then, Feng Yueji didn't swing the sword to clash head-on with Wang Mian's thrusting sleeve arrow but instead made a move, stepping back half a pace.
Yet, this seemingly light half-step surprisingly widened the gap with Wang Mian, causing his sleeve arrow to miss.
Then, Feng Yueji made a sudden advance, raised her arm, and the sharp sword in her hand thrust fiercely towards Wang Mian's neck.
This sword thrust not only shifted Feng Yueji from defense to attack, but she also channeled her Inner Strength, moving with lightning speed and tremendous power. Not to mention Wang Mian's neck—even a rock would be easily pierced by her!
"Not good!"
Wang Mian felt an instant sense of dread!
He deeply realized that Feng Yueji now was truly not the same as before, being able to decipher his moves in such a short time, retreat and counter-attack so seamlessly and smoothly!
Swish!
While alarmed, Wang Mian lifted his left foot, pulled back, and his body twisted like a spiral, making a half turn to evade Feng Yueji's sudden thrust!
The sharp sword blade gleamed like white light, flashed past Wang Mian's face, piercing the air, creating a Sword Qi ripple that spread outward from the sword tip.
Though Wang Mian managed to evade the fatal thrust thanks to his powerful abilities with a swift maneuver, he couldn't dodge the Sword Qi this thrust carried.
His face was grazed by the Sword Qi, leaving small cuts, from which blood seeped, turning his face crimson.
A single strike!
With just one strike, Feng Yueji reversed the situation, even wounding Wang Mian.
Though the injury was negligible, it caused Wang Mian to bleed, and his thoughts and awareness lapsed briefly!
At that very moment!
Feng Yueji seized the opportunity, twisted her body, and swung her arm, transitioning her stab to a slash aimed at Wang Mian's neck.
The sword, like a pursuing soul, never left its target!
This strike, backed by the Phoenix Glaze Skill, was overwhelmingly powerful and fearsome!
Dangerous!
Wang Mian's heart trembled; there was no time to dodge, and he swiftly raised the sleeve arrow in his right hand to block.
Clang!
A crisp sound rang out as Feng Yueji's sword cut onto the sleeve arrow, Inner Strength exploded, knocking the sleeve arrow away and numbing Wang Mian's wrist.
Wang Mian's heart shook violently; he wholly retracted his previous disdain for Feng Yueji, preparing to temporarily avoid her edge.
However, while the idea was grand, reality was harsh.
Feng Yueji didn't give him the chance to distance himself!
With one unsuccessful slash, Feng Yueji rotated her wrist, and the sword's tip, as agile as a little snake, curled around the sleeve arrow and slashed toward Wang Mian's wrist.
Wang Mian's expression changed; he hurriedly let go of the sleeve arrow and withdrew swiftly!
Despite having a thousand, ten thousand unwillingness to do so, if he didn't abandon the sleeve arrow, his wrist would undoubtedly be severed.
With that, he would basically be defeated!
In three moves, Feng Yueji forced Wang Mian to abandon his sleeve arrow!
This outcome completely exceeded Wang Mian's expectations, and the expectations of everyone on the scene except for Jiang Feng!!
