Chapter 166: Chapter 167: Effortless Killing (2nd Update) (Please Favorite, Tip, and Recommend)

Yan Xuan, transformed into a streak of light, fled directly towards the very center of the Holy Land Mountain Range.

Inside the Holy Land, the truly powerful disciples practiced at the very heart of the Holy Land Mountain Range. Should any other Red Flame Sect powerhouses sense Yan Xuan’s aura, they would surely come to support him.

As long as a Red Flame Sect disciple of the Wind Emperor Realm came to the rescue, it wouldn’t just be about saving Yan Xuan—it might even be possible to eliminate Chu Fengmian.

Therefore, without hesitation, he made a swift decision to escape.

In terms of strength, Yan Xuan was indeed no match for Chu Fengmian. The Red Flame Sword in Chu Fengmian’s hand had at least doubled his strength.

But when it came to speed, Yan Xuan was absolutely confident. With such a huge gap between their realms, Chu Fengmian surely couldn’t catch up to him.

"Chase!"

Chu Fengmian’s thoughts were immediately interrupted.

His figure moved and a shadowy blur flashed by as he pursued the streak of light that Yan Xuan had become.

Although Han Yueli’s swordsmanship was important, for now, he still needed to slay Yan Xuan first.

Inside the Holy Land, there would surely be numerous powerful Red Flame Sect disciples practicing, and he feared their strength would be extremely formidable.

If he let Yan Xuan go today and those Red Flame Sect disciples came to hunt him down, it would be a big trouble for Chu Fengmian.

Until his realm stepped into the Divine Sea Realm, he didn’t have the capacity to battle against a Wind Emperor Realm martial artist.

For a martial artist like Yan Xuan, who was at the peak of the Divine Sea Realm, Chu Fengmian still had a way to defeat him. But if he encountered a Wind Emperor Realm martial artist, Chu Fengmian could only flee, lacking even the ability to resist.

"You can’t escape!"

Chu Fengmian caught a glimpse of the fleeing streak of light in front of him and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

The Phantom movement technique, pushed to its limits by Chu Fengmian, made his speed nearly match that of Yan Xuan at the peak of the Divine Sea Realm.

Two figures raced through the dense forest at high speed.

Even Han Yueli, who was also at the peak of the Divine Sea Realm, was somewhat unable to keep up with the two of them and could only follow behind.

"How is this possible!"

After a few minutes, when Yan Xuan thought he had lost Chu Fengmian, he looked back and was suddenly startled.

Chu Fengmian had not been shaken off at all. In fact, his speed was even a bit faster.

The distance between them was getting closer and closer, suggesting he would catch up soon.

Yan Xuan’s streak of light actually wasn’t much slower than Chu Fengmian.

But how could Yan Xuan’s spiritual power compare to Chu Fengmian’s? A few minutes had already consumed more than half of Yan Xuan’s spiritual power.

This type of fully powered light escape consumed a tremendous amount of spiritual power every moment.

Yan Xuan had resorted to it in desperation to shake off Chu Fengmian, but after a few minutes, his speed had already slowed down.

Yet Chu Fengmian’s speed remained as fast as before, as if his spiritual power was endless.

In a moment, the distance between them was less than a hundred meters.

"Still trying to escape? Stop right there!"

Chu Fengmian’s eyes turned cold, and once again he slashed with the Red Flame Sword in his hand.

Crimson Sword Qi, sweeping up countless flames, surged towards Yan Xuan.

This wave of crimson Sword Qi blazed through the air like a surging sea of fire, dyeing the entire sky red!

"Damn it! Is this amount of spiritual power even possible for a human to achieve?"

After such a prolonged chase, the fact that Chu Fengmian still had such abundant spiritual power left Yan Xuan cursing.

With such a close distance, there was no way for him to dodge.

"Burning Heaven’s Flame!"

Yan Xuan turned his head and a flame condensed in the palm of his hand, striking towards the Sword Qi, hoping to dissolve it.

But in nearly an instant, the flames that Yan Xuan had released were dispersed under the force of that Sword Qi.

Even at his full strength, Yan Xuan was no match for Chu Fengmian, let alone the present Yan Xuan, who was already at his wit’s end, with not even a third of his strength at his prime.

The Sword Qi sliced through the flame, charging directly towards Yan Xuan.

Suddenly, a huge scorched mark appeared on Yan Xuan’s body, knocking him to the ground.

"No! I am the heir to the Seven-colored Fire Pattern! My bloodline is unsurpassably noble! How can I die here? Die at the hands of such a youngster!"

Yan Xuan screamed on and on.

In the Candle Flame Sect, he was an authentic genius. In his view, only Crown Prince Zhi Lingtian of the entire Wusheng Academy could be considered his match.

He had never thought he would be defeated by a minor martial artist in the Body Tempering Realm, let alone be killed.

"Unsurpassably noble bloodline? The moment you decided to become Chu’s enemy, it meant your time was up!"

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Chu Fengmian’s mouth.

"It’s over!"

Chu Fengmian landed on the ground, and with a slash of his sword, Yan Xuan’s body was cleaved in two, and a blaze turned his corpse to ashes.

Chu Fengmian raised his hand, and from the ashes, he retrieved a storage bag. Naturally, Chu Fengmian also needed the wealth contained within, for Yan Xuan was a genius of the Candle Flame Sect.

"Yan Xuan, is dead?"

Just then, Han Yueli had just caught up and, looking at the pile of ashes on the ground, she said somewhat incredulously.

Yan Xuan was hailed as a rare super-genius of the century by the Candle Flame Sect, particularly after awakening the Seven-colored Fire Pattern, with an even more noble bloodline.

In the entire nation of Wusheng, he could be considered a top-notch genius.

Today, he was actually slain by a martial artist in the Body Tempering Realm. If this were to spread, it’s feared no one would believe it.

"That’s right."

Chu Fengmian nodded and turned to Han Yueli with a smile.

"I must also thank Miss Han for your assistance. Without your help, defeating Yan Xuan wouldn’t have been so effortless."

"No, this Yan Xuan, was fundamentally defeated by you. Whether I exerted any effort or not, I am well aware."

Hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, Han Yueli shook her head.

Her encounter with Yan Xuan was almost just to delay him. The person who defeated Yan Xuan was Chu Fengmian, and the person who slew Yan Xuan, was still Chu Fengmian.

"So when you said you didn’t need my help, it wasn’t all talk. You were actually serious..."

Looking at the pile of ashes, Han Yueli said somewhat blankly.

From the beginning, the moment Han Yueli offered assistance, Chu Fengmian had said that he alone was enough to deal with people like Yan Xuan.

At that time, Han Yueli believed Chu Fengmian was just posturing out of pride.

But now it appeared that what Chu Fengmian had said then was indeed no different from the truth.

Even without her help today, Chu Fengmian would still have been capable of killing Yan Xuan with no difference at all.

Han Yueli had heard rumors about Chu Fengmian as well. At the time, she merely thought that Chu Fengmian’s reputation was mostly blown out of proportion by Wusheng Academy.

But now it seemed, it wasn’t mere exaggeration. The real Chu Fengmian was even more terrifying than the rumors suggested.
