Chapter 548: The End of the Master-Disciple Relationship!
Seeing Feng Yueji force the Sect Leader to retreat within three moves and even make Wang Mian awkwardly drop his weapon, all around the outskirts of Tianyin Hall, the gasps of the disciples could be heard!
"Is this... is this still Senior Sister? How did she suddenly become so strong?"
"Able to fight on equal footing with the Sect Leader Master? Am I seeing things?"
"No! It's not equal footing, it seems in the exchange just now, the Sect Leader Master was at a disadvantage, and Feng Yueji gained the upper hand..."
"My God, am I dreaming? The Sect Leader Master is now at the Middle Stage Maestro level. Even though Senior Sister is extraordinarily gifted, at most she's at the Mid-level of the Celestial Family. There's a gap of two realms; how could she possibly be more powerful than the Sect Leader Master?"
Listening to the disciples' astonished discussions, Wang Mian's face looked extremely troubled!
He retreated a few steps, gasping for breath, then fixedly stared at Feng Yueji, shouting, "What martial arts have you been practicing, to improve so rapidly in such a short time?"
If he remembered correctly, not long ago, his beloved disciple Ling Yifeng and the Vice Sect Leader Lu Hou had sent back news saying Feng Yueji hadn't progressed much, having only reached the Mid-level of the Celestial Family!
But now, how could someone at that level force him back? Isn't this ridiculous?
"Strange? I'm naturally practicing the martial arts taught by Master! Wang Mian, you're nothing!" Feng Yueji said confidently and proudly to Wang Mian.
She now deeply realized that Jiang Feng's decision to let her battle was right!
She had unknowingly become so strong that Wang Mian, who once seemed insurmountable and forbidden in her mind, was just a defeated opponent. She had completely overestimated him!
Immediately, Feng Yueji seized the opportunity, her feet stomped, her body bounced, lifted off the ground, sword thrusting forward, almost forming a straight line with her body, launching a pursuit, attempting to defeat Wang Mian with one strike!
The person is the sword, and the sword is the person!
Her body moved like a startled swan weaving through the willows!
"Arrogant!!" Seeing Feng Yueji coming at him, Wang Mian's face twisted with fury!
"Hmm?" Jiang Feng suddenly noticed something off about Wang Mian's expression, frowned, and shouted to Feng Yueji, "Don't let your guard down!"
Swoosh!
At the same moment Jiang Feng warned, Wang Mian, forced into a desperate situation by Feng Yueji, made another move!
With his left hand raised, a flying dagger shot out from his left sleeve, transformed into a streak of light heading towards the near Feng Yueji.
"Not good!"
Upon hearing Jiang Feng's warning, Feng Yueji sensed the danger, but she couldn't stop or switch moves, having poured all her strength into this one strike.
At the critical moment, Feng Yueji frantically activated her Inner Strength, making a half-turn in mid-air!
At that moment, her reaction speed surpassed normal levels, and she made the best choice.
However—
The distance between her and Wang Mian was too close.
Even with the intention to dodge, she couldn't perfectly manage it!
With a "thud" sound!
The sharp hidden weapon brushed past her left chest, directly injuring her left arm, carving a blood mark.
Feng Yueji's body halted, her strength dissipated, and she suddenly fell.
"Damn it!"
Wang Mian took advantage of this moment to dissolve the danger, leaping backward, his heart filled with anger!
It was an attack with a hidden weapon!
That was his trump card!
But he never dreamed that Feng Yueji could dodge his hidden weapon at such a short distance!
Of course, he also knew that if Jiang Feng hadn't timely warned her, Feng Yueji would have been unable to dodge.
In that case, Feng Yueji wouldn't be just injured in the left arm, but in the heart, with certain death!
Now, although Feng Yueji was injured, he had lost his sleeve arrow and hidden weapon trump card, not gaining any advantage, still stuck in a passive position!
How could this not infuriate him?
"The Sect Leader Master actually used a hidden weapon when dueling with Senior Sister?"
"That's just... shouldn't the Sect Leader have easily won against Senior Sister? Why resort to such underhanded methods..."
"Shut up!!!" Listening to the disciples' doubts, Wang Mian became even more ashamed and enraged, roaring!
He didn't want to be so pathetic, having to use hidden weapons against his disciple!
But he was forced to this point, and there was no other way!
The current Feng Yueji completely baffled him, who knew what sinister martial arts she'd mastered to enhance her realm so quickly. He gained nothing from the direct fight with her, forced to resort to this desperate measure!
Yet unexpectedly, trying to gain an advantage, he instead suffered a greater loss!
Meanwhile, Du Sengming, Fang Zhao, Hua Zhi, and Ge Hui, standing at the back, were also somewhat shocked seeing this!
Has Feng Yueji been reborn? In just a few short years, she transformed completely?!
"It's too bizarre! What unknown secrets lie within Feng Yueji?",
"Saying Feng Yueji's current improvement is solely thanks to Jiang Feng, absolutely no one would believe it!"
After all, this has surpassed everyone's understanding of Martial Arts, defying all common sense!
"Luckily, Sect Leader Brother has more experience in combat and barely managed to turn the tide!"
"Indeed, even if Feng Yueji came prepared, she is now injured! An injured Feng Yueji is naturally no match for the Sect Leader Brother!"
On the other side, Jiang Feng looked at Feng Yueji, her left arm stained with blood, and said calmly, "Do not underestimate him! Your former 'master,' wearing human skin, is but a beast. Don't be fooled by him."
"Yes! Master, Yue Ji acknowledges her mistake!" Feng Yueji hurriedly said with some guilt, simultaneously looking at Jiang Feng gratefully!
If not for Jiang Feng's timely warning, she would now be a corpse!
"Jiang Feng, you!!!" Wang Mian glared at Jiang Feng, filled with deep hatred, his eyes bloodshot!
"Wang Mian, I call you 'master' one last time! Today's battle shows your lowest beneath my expectations, despicable as you are, no longer deserving of my sympathy or pity, today I must have you die by my sword!" Feng Yueji shouted angrily!
Originally, Feng Yueji intended to spare Wang Mian!
Even realizing she was now stronger than Wang Mian, she still cared about the last shred of sentiment, not wanting to be completely ruthless or bear the reputation of killing her master!
But now, Wang Mian's vile conduct completely enraged her, erasing her last bit of affection toward him!
Now, it would truly be a battle between enemies; one must die and one must live!
"Doomed yet still mouthing off! Come take your life!!"
Wang Mian sneered, facing the injured Feng Yueji, he naturally had no qualms and directly launched a swift attack, akin to a hungry tiger pouncing on food, suddenly charging at Feng Yueji, with speed as fast as lightning!
