Chapter 681: Arch Enemy
Chapter 681: Arch Enemy
After defusing the attack that Yan Ling had launched at Su Jingzhen, Shen Yifeng remained standing on his flying sword.
With his hands clasped behind his back, he still looked old, but his aura was extremely formidable.
He looked at Yan Ling, who was standing not far away, with a hint of disappointment in his expression.
“You really disappoint me.
Decades have passed and your cultivation has greatly improved, but your character remains as narrow-minded and arrogant as ever.
Perhaps the decisions that I and Qinghe made back then were indeed without fault.”
Shen Yifeng said this to Yan Ling calmly, his tone neither sad nor happy.
Seeing Shen Yifeng’s appearance, Yan Ling’s eyes showed a clear excitement.
He paid no attention to the sarcasm in Shen Yifeng’s words.
“You finally show yourself. It seems that you are indeed a man of principle and righteousness towards your disciple.”
As he spoke, Yan Ling’s aura intensified even further, reaching the late stage of the Celestial Being Realm.
The translucent Autumn Water Sword in his hand pointed directly at Shen Yifeng. “I know that you have been on Heavenly Deity Island for a long time.
Even from the day you arrived in the Luo River region, you came straight here.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find you, so I had to use this method to force you out.
But it doesn’t matter. As cultivators, we only care about the result, not the process.
If I can kill you today, everything that happened in between is irrelevant.”
At the end of his words, Yan Ling’s tone was still extremely excited, and his killing intent had reached its peak.
Obviously, everything he had done today was to force Shen Yifeng to appear.
He had planned this from the moment he saw Su Jingzhen.
When Yan Ling said this, the few old men of the Yan clan were stunned for a moment.
Then they silently surrounded Shen Yifeng in the middle.
Seeing this, Yan Ling’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the Yan Clan elders.
“The enmity between him and me is a personal matter and does not require the involvement of anyone from the Yan clan.
Today, it will be either me or him, but not both.”
His words were full of arrogance.
However, upon hearing this, the old men of the Yan Clan who were in the Tribulation Transcending Realm and the Celestial Being Realm showed a troubled expression.
To them, Shen Yifeng was not just an opponent of the Yan clan.
It is even more disgraceful for the Yan Clan.
Since Shen Yifeng has already appeared in front of them today, it was absolutely impossible for them to let him leave alive
While the old members of the Yan Clan were unsure what to do, the expressions of the people from other factions standing in the void were quite vivid.
“Who would have thought that the guy from the Yan Clan was actually up to this?
It seems that today’s journey is truly not in vain.”
“Even though Shen Yifeng’s name is famous, his current aura is still only at the mid-nascent soul stage.
He even stands on a flying sword and can’t walk in the air.
This doesn’t seem like a match for Yan Ling at all.”
“Interesting, truly fascinating.
I wonder who will come out on top in this long-standing rivalry of a few decades. Although I can also sense that Shen Yifeng’s aura is only at the mid-nascent soul stage, his ability to easily defuse Yan Ling’s attack earlier is enough to show that he’s no pushover.”
“…”
As the various factions who were not directly involved in this matter excitedly discussed, Ji Qinghshan and others frowned again.
Yan Ling’s quick move against Su Jingzhen earlier had caught them off guard.
Now that Shen Yifeng has appeared, the Ji Clan must also take a stance.
“Is the prestigious Yan Clan of the Luo River Basin really going to lay siege to a mid-nascent soul cultivator?
It seems a bit inappropriate, doesn’t it?”
After sighing, Ji Qinghshan couldn’t help but step forward.
The elders behind him didn’t hesitate either, their auras immediately locking onto the Yan Clan members.
If the Yan Clan were to target the Heavenly Dragon Race, they would just watch from the sidelines.
They wouldn’t get involved.
But now that Shen Yifeng has personally appeared, if they let him fall under the Yan Clan’s siege, it would be hard to explain to Ji Qinghe.
After all, Ji Qinghe might be no less important to the Ji Clan than Yan Xia is to the Yan Clan.
Seeing Ji Qingshan step forward, Yan Ling’s face showed no surprise.
He didn’t react to Ji Qingshan’s words, but instead said to the Yan Clan elders:
“I don’t need your help, but I don’t want my battle with Shen Yifeng to be affected.
You should understand what I mean.”
His words made the Yan Clan elders sigh again. Under the dual pressure of the Ji Clan and the Heavenly Dragon Race, they really had no way to help Yan Ling.
However, they had great faith in Yan Ling.
The next moment, they directly confronted the Ji Clan people.
Of course, it’s just a formality.
It is unlikely that a fight will break out.
After all, on the surface, there hasn’t been any significant conflict between the Ji Clan and the Yan Clan. It was enough to hold them back.
“It seems that some things need to be expedited.”
At this moment, Shen Yifeng also sighed and turned to look at Su Jingzhen.
“Brat, step aside for now.
Haven’t you always been curious about the extent of my martial arts skills? Perhaps you will get to see it today.”
As he said this, he gently waved his hand and sent a huge yet gentle force towards Su Jingzhen, pushing him out of the range of the two auras.
Su Jingzhen felt some concern, but in the end, he said nothing.
From the information he knew, a confrontation between Shen Yifeng and Yan Ling was indeed inevitable.
Su Jingzhen also understood that such a battle involved many factors, and it might not be appropriate for others to interfere, as it might have a significant effect on the two fighters’ Dao hearts and other aspects.
At this moment, Qing Mo and the other two had arrived next to Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao.
“Interesting. I didn’t expect that the first thing we would witness on Heavenly Deity Island would not be the opening of the Divine Kingdom.
Rather, it would be the resolution of a decades-old grudge between these two old enemies.
I wonder who will have the upper hand after all these years.”
A Tribulation Realm cultivator of the Heavenly Dragon Race said, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Qing Mo smiled. “Before that girl Yan Xia appeared, Yan Ling was the top genius of the Yan clan for nearly a thousand years.
His cultivation talent was unquestionable, and within a few decades, he reached the late stage of Celestial Being Realm.
His martial arts skills and resources are not to be underestimated.
However, it’s unclear to what extent Shen Yifeng has progressed, as he carries the curse that seems to be both a blessing and a curse.
If he doesn’t use it well, he might not be Yan Ling’s match today.”
As he finished speaking, Qing Mo turned to look at Su Jingzhen beside him.
“Freind Su, what do you think?”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s expression became quite serious.
After a moment of thought, he said with certainty, “If only one of them can survive today, It will definitely be my master.”
