The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1674 - 1679: Qingyun Disciple

The azure Sword Qi charged toward the lone mountain with an unstoppable momentum. However, the Lone Mountain picked up the Moon Blade to block it. He thought simply, a Divine Artifact is a Divine Artifact, how could it possibly fail to withstand an attack?

But just as the attack was about to land on his head, suddenly, the Lone Mountain discovered that the Moon Blade in his hand had disappeared?!

"No!!"

The Lone Mountain shouted loudly, but it was to no avail. The defensive shield that had formed in front of him was instantly shattered by Lin Yu’s attack. The azure Sword Qi sliced directly from the top of Lone Mountain’s head to the ground below. Within an instant, a fine line appeared on the ground, and the trees along its path split in half, each half toppling in opposite directions.

And the Lone Mountain, struck down, was filled with deep regret, forced to watch his body split into two halves, feeling his vision skewing to both sides.

At that moment, Lin Fei finally understood what the Nascent Soul was.

A palm-sized orb of light, not unlike a tiny person, shot skyward, vanishing in an instant from everyone’s sight.

However, just as that light rushed out of the array, it was immediately bound by the Rule Power of the Lower Realm, and then everyone saw a small light person, identical to Lone Mountain, being dissolved by the Rule Power of the Lower Realm.

Seeing this, Lin Yu was suddenly filled with immense fear. He couldn’t help but think, if he were killed in the Lower Realm, would his Nascent Soul also be unable to escape? If that were the case, wouldn’t the reliance on the Nascent Soul Realm be utterly nullified? No wonder those Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Upper Realm are unwilling to come to the Lower Realm!

Considering this, Lin Yu felt that venturing to the Lower Realm seemed like an adventure, and he even sensed that Lin Fei before him was extraordinarily dangerous. In the Lower Realm, Lin Fei was undoubtedly the most formidable individual, hence his level of danger was exceedingly high.

At this moment, Lin Fei suddenly flew towards Lin Yu. Lin Yu instantly became vigilant, instinctively raising his longsword in defense.

Seeing Lin Yu like this, Lin Fei smiled, "Brother Lin Yu, no need to be anxious. I won’t do anything to you, there’s no need to fear."

"Nonsense, who’s afraid!" Lin Yu said coldly, yet he still didn’t lower his guard. After all, here in the Lower Realm, the Nascent Soul couldn’t be used and rematerializing a body after death might be an impossibility.

"In that case, Brother Lin Yu might as well lower your sword, after all, I dare not approach otherwise," Lin Fei said.

Lin Yu thought it over. This place was still within the array; Lin Fei shouldn’t be able to do anything to him, so he lowered his longsword, then asked Lin Fei, "Is there something you need?"

Lin Fei smiled slightly, "I just wanted to thank you."

"No need for such courtesy, let’s first deal with those Desolate Earth Sect fellows over there!"

With that, they eyed the Desolate Earth Sect disciples suspiciously.

The other disciples of the Desolate Earth Sect panicked one after another. They didn’t expect their Sect Elder to be killed, and thus their confidence evaporated, each displaying a look of terror because they didn’t know if Lin Yu would strike them down next.

They did not fear Lin Fei, whose bizarre techniques had vanished the elder’s weapon, so coupled with Lin Yu’s attack, they seamlessly accomplished the kill.

Of course, Lin Fei knew the real reason: the Divine Artifact obeyed his command. In critical moments, the Divine Artifact could vanish, though Lin Fei didn’t know if this was a unique ability of the Moon Blade or if other Divine Artifacts shared this capability.

Nevertheless, this ability was useful, just like how Lin Fei could only see the Moon Blade under moonlight. Naturally, now Lin Fei could see it without moonlight, for his cultivation was sufficient to control the Moon Blade, although Lin Fei’s power still fell short.

Otherwise, how could such a Divine Artifact, fought over even in the Upper Realm, be in Lin Fei’s possession and seem like a useless weapon?

To Lin Fei, the Moon Blade’s title as a Divine Artifact was almost an illusion; he simply couldn’t unleash its power, at most it was just a durable weapon.

So Lin Fei couldn’t use the Divine Artifact to accomplish anything, at least not yet.

At that moment, Lin Yu made his move. The moment he did, Lin Fei also struck, but his action was activating the Demon Transformation, enveloping him in a Great Demon King as he launched his attack on the enemy. As they feared Lin Yu, Lin Fei took the opportunity to claim several lives.

But those from the Upper Realm, the numerous members of the Desolate Earth Sect, managed to escape a few despite Lin Yu’s powerful and swift assault, then Lin Yu dismantled the array.

Lin Fei seized the opportunity, using the Divine Stone to track down those from the Desolate Earth Sect. The remaining remnants had no Spatial Array whatsoever, thus their only fate awaited them was death, with no other alternatives.

Continuing to search for the Upper Realm trespassers, and after Zhang Fan found the Desolate Earth Sect disciples, Lin Fei struck, eliminating them instantly.

To Lin Fei, without the threat of an array, those people were akin to cabbages.

However, this matter also incensed the Desolate Earth Sect of the Upper Realm, for after all, someone had escaped back. The Desolate Earth Sect learned of the involvement of the Qingyun Sect disciples, and immediately dispatched people to Qingyun Mountain, demanding justice for their disciples from the Qingyun Sect.

Only the end result was inconclusive.

After all, the Qingyun Sect’s standing in the Upper Realm was far superior to the Desolate Earth Sect.

Thus the Desolate Earth Sect could only swallow their displeasure and accept their loss.

After dealing with this wave of foes, Lin Fei had not anticipated the brewing turmoil yet to come.

At this moment, the tide from the Upper Realm flourished and arrived at the Divine Desolate Hall, where Huang Xiaotian, the Hall Master of the Divine Desolate Hall, sat upon the throne.

"Lang Zhanfeng, you wouldn’t be here to tell me you can’t complete the task, would you? If that’s the case, what use do I have for your Desolate Earth Sect?" Huang Xiaotian said coldly.

Lang Zhanfeng of the Desolate Earth Sect felt sweat continuously trickling down his forehead, and he was deeply apprehensive. After all, he faced the Hall Master of the Divine Desolate Hall, who was the highest authority in the Desolate Earth, at least on the surface. Divine Desolate Hall controlled the powers of the Desolate Earth.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, it’s not that I can’t complete the task, but because someone else is causing trouble, and some Upper Realm forces are obstructing our actions." Lang Zhanfeng of the Desolate Earth Sect prepared to shift the blame onto the Qingyun Sect.

"Oh? Who’s obstructing you? Tell me, and I’ll destroy him!" Huang Xiaotian, the Hall Master of the Divine Desolate Hall, said. In his view, anyone daring to oppose the Divine Desolate Hall had grown tired of living.

After all, the Divine Desolate Hall is the strongest existence in the Desolate Earth!
