Chapter 795: Explain What a Surprise Is

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation     Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao piping’s team began recruiting members from the Mountain Sea Realm again after suffering heavy losses last time.

However, those who would come from the mainland of Middle Continent had already arrived, so Xiao piping had not found satisfactory recruits.

That was until Jing Chaodong, who, dissatisfied with the distribution of the previous team, ultimately chose Xiao piping’s side.

Jing Chaodong didn’t care much about the grievances between Xiao piping and others before, but now, when it came to a simple position to kill monsters, Jing Chaodong was somewhat eager.

In Jing Chaodong’s previous team, they occupied such a position.

Those monsters couldn’t be considered easy pickings, but for the Mountain Sea Realm with sufficient strength, there was almost no danger.

“Mountain Sea Realm members aren’t that easy to kill, but the opponent is an archer. They might have special eye techniques and could detect us early and escape,” Xiao piping pondered for a moment and said.

“Then I’ll rush in first when the time comes,” Jing Chaodong said in a low voice.

“It might be tough for you, Brother Jing,” Xiao piping said, nodding.

“We’re all in the same team, no need for such formalities,” Jing Chaodong said, waving his hand with a smile.

With Gu Yande’s presence, able to see far enough ahead, the team’s progress was swift.

Gu Yande lowered his head and glanced at the compass in his hand. At this moment, the frequency of the compass’s rotation was accelerating, indicating that the target was getting closer.

Several miles away, Chen Fei was waiting for nightfall. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he looked back with some surprise.

InChenFei’s sight, the figures of Xiao piping and a few others were clearly visible. Even the faint killing intent emanating from them could be vaguely sensed.

Chen Fei frowned slightly, glanced at the sky, and realized that the sun was about to set, signaling the onset of his daily enlightenment.

This daily enlightenment was quite important to Chen Fei.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Fei’s figure flashed and he ran towards another direction.

Within a short period of time, Chen Fei covered nearly fifty miles, occasionally encountering Fourth-Tier early-stage monsters, which he easily killed with his Shadow Lock Bow.

The Shadow Lock Bow, now upgraded to a superior spiritual treasure, had greatly increased in power. Although it still took two arrows to kill a monster, the first arrow almost always left the Fourth-Tier early-stage monsters critically wounded.

If it weren’t for the monsters’ unusually resilient vitality, a Fourth-Tier early- stage monster would be reduced to minced meat by a single arrow.

With two additional points of minor achievement recorded on his Jade Ruler, Chen Fei stopped in a mountain hollow. At this moment, night had finally fallen.

The remnants around the mountain hollow suddenly became fierce, and Chen Fei sensed their state, his gaze fluctuating.

Because he waited every day to absorb enlightenment, Chen Fei also took the opportunity to observe the state of these remnants.

The resentment and ferocity grew day by day, and Chen Fei always felt that if this continued, these remnants might one day directly transform into sinister creatures.

Currently, there were only a few sinister creatures within the barrier, but when all the remnants were transformed, the number of sinister creatures would explode.

Compared to the current monsters, sinister creatures not only had extremely high concealment but also had more diverse attack methods.

More importantly, sinister creatures grew at a faster rate than monsters. Monsters didn’t need many days to reach the Fourth-Tier early stage from birth. Sinister creatures, on the other hand, could reach the Fourth-Tier early stage in at most two days.

The Boundless Sea’s natural energy was abundant with remnants, so there would never be a shortage of them within the Black Divine Barrier.

With a slightly heavy heart, Chen Fei watched the remnants howling, trying to drag him into an illusion.

Without even looking at the contents of the illusion, Chen Fei immediately used the Xuanyuan Sword to shatter it.

Then, a dark shadow appeared in front of Chen Fei, who deliberately emanated the aura of the Adamantine Body. Sure enough, the dark shadow began to demonstrate how to cultivate the Adamantine Body.

While Chen Fei waited to absorb insights into the Adamantine Body, several tens of miles away, Xiao piping and his companions were closely following Gu Yande’s guidance.

Gu Yande had already noticed Chen Fei’s departure just now.

Whether they had been spotted by Chen Fei or if he had simply headed elsewhere was unknown to Gu Yande and the others.

Xiao piping and Jing Chaodong naturally couldn’t let Chen Fei slip away like this. As long as he didn’t head towards the city wall, they were determined to capture him today.

Compared to Chen Fei’s swift progress, Xiao piping and his group were significantly slower.

“Is the target still moving?” Xiao Piping asked, his voice serious.

“No, they’ve been stationary for a while now,” Gu Yande replied, shaking his head while looking at the compass in his hand.

“Could his current location be where he usually hunts monsters?” Liao Zhongqing suddenly suggested.

Xiao piping and the others showed slight interest. If that were the case, they could save themselves the trouble of probing his mind.

“We’ll find out when we get there,” Jing Chaodong said with a smile.

Dealing with such situations was only troublesome within the Black Divine Barrier.

In other parts of the Middle Continent mainland, capturing a Mountain Sea Realm member at the early stage wouldn’t require such caution.

Along the way, Xiao piping and his group didn’t encounter a single monster.

However, they were already accustomed to such situations.

In the current Black Divine Barrier, many peripheral areas seldom had any monsters, while specific regions saw an increasing concentration of them. Recently, the Mission Hall had begun issuing missions related to this aspect, and teams unable to find monsters were gradually approaching those areas. Many Mountain Sea Realm members weren’t optimistic about whether they could eradicate the Black Divine Barrier.

In this situation, it was natural to seize the opportunity before the Black Divine Barrier underwent major changes and quickly kill more monsters to exchange for rewards from the Mission Hall.

Several miles away, Chen Fei stood in place, surrounded by fifty illusory Xuanyuan Swords.

With Chen Fei’s breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, and his soul strength increasing, he could now summon a considerably larger number of illusory Xuanyuan Swords.

The twelve Xuanyuan Swords at the forefront were pitch black and silently collapsed, dissipating into nothingness.

Chen Fei absorbed insights about the Adamantine Body in his sea of consciousness. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.

Chen Fei glanced at his panel and saw that his proficiency in the Adamantine Body had increased by a notch. Another absorption session tomorrow might propel him from novice to mastery level.

This efficiency far surpassed Chen Fei’s own cultivation progress.

However, he couldn’t help but wonder how long such favorable circumstances would last.

Chen Fei waved his hand, dispelling the illusory Xuanyuan Swords surrounding him. He was about to head to the entrance of the Stone Forest Canyon to see if there were any other changes there.

Suddenly, Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly as he turned back and looked towards the rear, spotting Xiao Qiping and his group.

If the previous encounter could be dismissed as a coincidence, now that Chen Fei had deliberately come to this location and they still followed, the situation was crystal clear.

Chen Fei narrowed his eyes and noticed someone holding a compass ahead, likely the one who had tracked him down.

A dozen miles might seem like a significant distance, easily traversable for Mountain Sea Realm members in the outside world.

However, within the Black Divine Barrier, such a distance wasn’t much, considering even with their powers suppressed, they still moved at the speed of lower-level cultivators.

In just a moment, the distance between both parties had narrowed to just a few miles. Soon after, Xiao Qiping and Jing Chaodong, with their highest cultivation levels, simultaneously caught sight of Chen Fei’s figure.

“Something’s not right. It seems like he’s deliberately waiting for us.”

Jing Chaodong’s brow furrowed as he noticed Chen Fei facing their direction, seemingly waiting for them.

Originally, they had agreed that once they saw Chen Fei, he would make the first move. However, Jing Chaodong hesitated at this moment.

Xiao Qiping immediately looked at Gu Yande, who nodded in understanding. With one hand forming seals, Gu Yande quickly rotated the compass in his other hand.

“No one else or monster kings nearby, no monsters either,” Gu Yande reported, his expression also puzzled.

Mainly because of Chen Fei’s calm demeanor at the moment, it was too composed, leaving them puzzled.

Xiao Qiping frowned deeply. What was this game Chen Fei playing?

“No more tricks, let’s attack directly!” Liao Zhongqing said solemnly.

“Since there’s no one else around, let’s all attack together. Let’s go!”

Jing Chaodong’s gaze pondered, then he revealed a glint of coldness. He still had faith in Gu Yande’s abilities; otherwise, how could they have tracked down this location?

“Attack!”

Xiao Qiping shouted, his figure flashing as he charged directly towards Chen Fei.

With two mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivators and three early-stage ones on their side, even if Zhao Ruizheng and the others were here, Xiao Qiping was confident in detaining them all, let alone now with just Chen Fei.

Upon hearing Xiao Qiping and Jing Chaodong’s words, Gu Yande and the other two didn’t hesitate either, charging forward.

As Xiao Qiping and his group rushed towards him, Chen Fei felt their murderous intent, which was now unrestrained, locking onto him like a torrential downpour.

Though Mountain Sea Realm cultivators didn’t possess the same ferociousness as monsters, their higher soul strength converged into an overwhelming pressure, a heavy burden for fellow humans to bear.

Under this pressure, the operation of one’s spirit, energy, and soul would slow down, inevitably diminishing one’s strength.

However, facing this pressure, Chen Fei remained calm. He extended his left arm, and the Shadow Lock Bow flew out, landing in his palm with an arrow already nocked.

At this distance, it was the optimal shooting range for Chen Fei within the barrier.

Unlike monsters, Mountain Sea Realm cultivators had better agility, making it easy for them to evade attacks from a slightly greater distance.

Seeing Chen Fei draw his bow, Xiao Qiping and his group slightly raised their weapons. Despite being attacks from early-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, they fought with all their might.

In battles between Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, no one would take it lightly.

Chen Fei’s gaze shifted, locking onto Gu Yande. In the next moment, a massive sonic boom cloud appeared behind Chen Fei, and the arrow in his hand had already left the bow, resembling a meteor as it streaked towards Gu Yande.

As Chen Fei acted, the expressions of Xiao Qiping and his group instantly changed. Chen Fei’s realm had suddenly leaped to the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm.

Even without considering Chen Fei’s cultivation aura, just the power contained in this arrow exceeded their expectations.

A frenzied sense of deathly silence resounded in Gu Yande’s soul. Instinctively, Gu Yande raised the compass in his hand, which transformed into a door-sized shield, protecting him.

However, to his horror, Gu Yande found that the sense of deathly silence not only didn’t diminish but grew stronger.

The clothes on Gu Yande’s body emitted a glow, runes circulating within them. Another layer of light shield appeared, enveloping Gu Yande within.

But it didn’t end there. Gu Yande quickly activated his techniques. His skin beneath his clothes turned dark as iron, akin to black iron.

“Boom!”

The thunderous explosion echoed as the defense formed by the compass shattered instantly, even the artifact itself was directly knocked away, cracks covering its surface.

Gu Yande, behind the shattered compass, froze in place, his defensive stance dissipating. He looked at Chen Fei ahead with a horrified expression, his mouth trembling slightly.

“Bang!”

Before the words could even be spoken, an immense force tore through his body. Gu Yande’s figure instantly exploded into countless fragments, scattering in all directions.
