Chapter 362: Chapter 362: Terrifying Power, Silver Armored Zilong
 

“`

This sigh carried with it many a helplessness.

The demon fiends, the Silver Armored Zilong, as well as all the city dwellers, looked up to see the Spirit Snake Flying Boat descending from the clouds.

A strikingly handsome young man stood with his hands behind his back, leapt out of the boat, and hovered quietly in mid-air.

He did not emanate any breath.

Yet standing there, he exuded a sense of etherealness, transcendence, magnificence, and unrivaled presence.

“Who are you?”

The mysterious demon fiend called out across the spatial rift.

“Demon, I am your grandfather… the Misty Sect’s Sect Master Ye Feng!” There was a certain art to the way Ye Feng punctuated his words.

As soon as he spoke, the entire place fell deathly silent.

Immediately, the mysterious demon fiend cursed, “You brat, you seem to have no cultivation. What method have you cultivated to hide your aura so exquisitely?”

“Why should I tell you?” Ye Feng readied himself for battle, fists clenched and hanging naturally by his side.

In mid-air.

Zilong War General was still falling.

However, several lower-ranking Element Gathering Realm cultivators rose into the sky from the nearby cities, caught him, and hovered in the distance, looking up at Ye Feng and the others high above.

“Who is that man?”

Zilong War General suffered severe injuries and could not fly on his own, but he still strained to get a good look at Ye Feng, trying to remember his face.

“Zilong War General, we do not recognize this person either, but he just mentioned that he is Ye Feng of the Misty Sect,” said an elder in the Element Gathering Realm.

“Misty Sect… Ye Feng!”

The light in Zilong War General’s eyes sharpened. “I understand now; this is the One-star Sect that recently rose to prominence, located in the south at Whitefloat City, an extremely powerful sect.”

“Really the Misty Sect’s Sect Master?!” Several Element Gathering Realm elders looked at each other in shock, their faces filled with astonishment.

Previously they had thought it was a case of someone having an identical name.

But now, upon reflection, within the Southern River Basin, the only person who had the courage to confront a demon fiend directly was this mysterious Misty Sect’s Sect Master.

“Tree People Twin Kings, kill this man for me!”

From within the rift, the mysterious demon fiend ordered coldly.

“Yes!”

The Tree People Twin Kings attacked simultaneously, each transforming into their massive true forms. They were tree people towering a hundred Zhang tall, swinging their heavy fists like mountains pressing down.

“Hmph!”

Ye Feng leaped up and punched towards the incoming wooden fist, blasting it so forcefully that it recoiled backwards a considerable distance.

“Just with the power of your flesh body you can overpower me?”

“Impossible!”

The Tree People Twin Kings were greatly surprised.

Ye Feng glanced at his slightly reddened fist, eyes narrowing slightly, and internally remarked that his power was not only capable of sweeping through the Element Gathering Realm but could also contend with a Spirit Sea Realm Demon King.

“Once the hundred or so disciples under my command continue to enhance their cultivation, say all advancing to the Element Gathering Realm, then with just my flesh body, I will be able to burst the Tree People Twin Kings.”

Ye Feng analyzed his own strength in secret.

“Die!”

The Tree People Twin Kings continued their assault.

In the sky, numerous vines danced and intertwined, forming a vast network covering hundreds of miles, trapping Ye Feng within it.

At the same time, the mountain-heavy fists descended once more.

“The power of my flesh body alone is enough to contend with ordinary Demon Kings, but it’s not enough to crush them, and certainly not enough to annihilate them.”

“So, come forth!”

With a beckoning gesture, Ye Feng’s right hand grasped the Five Elements Spirit Sword, which radiated an imposing aura.

Slash!

A dazzling sword light swept across the sky, shattering the vine network and cleaving the Tree People Twin Kings in half.

Their true forms collapsed to the ground, falling on the spot.

“`

“Hiss!”

“With a single strike, he obliterated two great demons!”

“Worthy of being the Sect Leader, so fierce!”

All the first and second-generation disciples of the Misty Sect took a deep breath, their faces filled with reverence.

Zilong War General and everyone from the nearby cities opened their mouths wide, their eyeballs almost popping out.

“As expected of a legendary figure, truly powerful!”

Zilong War General gripped his silver spear, his chest brimming with fighting spirit. If not for his injuries, he would have definitely joined the battle to slay the enemy.

“You dare kill my Tree People Twin Kings, you will pay with your life!”

From behind the rift, that mysterious demon fiend roared. She stretched out her withered branch-like hands trying desperately to tear the rift open, but because of the repelling force of the realms, she couldn’t make her true descent.

“If you have the ability, then come and kill me.”

Ye Feng, holding the Five Elements Spirit Sword, had nine white bone swords fly out behind him, rotating around him as a shield.

“Attack, kill him!” the mysterious demon fiend roared as more winged demon fiends of the Element Gathering Realm swooped through the rift, targeting Ye Feng.

“Demon Generals at your level shouldn’t embarrass themselves by coming here!” Ye Feng used the Five Elements Spirit Sword’s Capture Five Elements Vortex, instantly drawing in the vast nature’s spiritual energy, unleashing fierce sword radiance.

Rip!

In an instant, dozens of demon fiends were reduced to dust and bone, scattering like a heavy snowfall.

Ye Feng locked gazes with the mysterious demon fiend amid the countless falling ashes: the former unwavering, while the latter was filled with venomous hatred, wishing she could devour him whole.

“Impressive, Misty Sect, and Ye Feng, I will remember you!” the mysterious demon fiend ground her teeth, “Had I been fully prepared, and had my Ten Great War Kings been by my side, I would never let you run wild here. Next time, I will surely tear you to pieces!”

Before the sound faded, a force of heaven and earth began to flow in slowly. No matter how the mysterious demon fiend tore at the spatial rift, she couldn’t widen it; instead, it began to close gradually.

Last, the spatial rift dissipated.

The passageway between the two worlds vanished just like that.

“She has finally left.”

Ye Feng let out a long breath.

The reason he wasn’t afraid of the mysterious demon fiend was naturally that she had to perform a blood sacrifice of a million people and construct a Blood Altar to ignore the forces between realms for her true body descent.

But with him here, these demons’ plans to build a Blood Altar could never succeed.

Therefore, Ye Feng was very calm.

He put away his Five Elements Spirit Sword and the White Bone Sword Array and landed on the Spirit Snake Flying Boat, enjoying the admiring looks from his disciples.

Some female disciples even looked at him with starry eyes.

“The demon fiend has been vanquished; there is no need for panic, it is a minor issue,” Ye Feng said calmly.

At that moment, several Element Gathering Realm cultivators supported Zilong War General as they flew close by and bowed deeply to Ye Feng.

“Thank you, Sect Master Ye, for your help. I am Zilong War General, a loose cultivator in this area,” Zilong War General said to Ye Feng.

“You’re a loose cultivator? But, with such a high cultivation level, you don’t seem like one!” Ye Feng said in surprise.

Generally speaking, cultivation depends on wealth, relationships, methods, and location. A loose cultivator usually doesn’t possess these elements.

Yet, Zilong War General was able to cultivate to the peak of the Element Gathering Realm, which was truly astonishing.

“Sect Master Ye may not be aware, but while Zilong War General is a loose cultivator, he is also our local guardian god. Any cultivation resources we get, the cities around here pay tribute to him,” explained an old man who was at the second level of the Element Gathering Realm.

Hearing this, Ye Feng had an epiphany.

So it turned out that Zilong War General was the big shot here, commanding most of the cultivation resources within hundreds of miles. No wonder he was able to break through to his current realm.

But Ye Feng noticed that Zilong War General’s foundation was average, seemingly without any auxiliary cultivation methods, which meant his combat power wasn’t very strong.

His killing spree in the midst of the many demons was purely based on the peak cultivation level of the Element Gathering Realm.

The moment he faced the Tree People Twin Kings, however, he was immediately outmatched.

“Sect Master Ye, I have long admired the Misty Sect. May I inquire about the possibility of joining your Sect?” Zilong War General asked earnestly, holding his fists in respect.

Hearing this, Ye Feng was delighted.

This was an opportunity to recruit a cultivator with considerable cultivation, handed to him on a silver platter!

How could he possibly refuse?
