Chapter 2227 Fighting Alone Against a Group of Heroes
Although Ling Qingxue was not directly knocked away like He Jinchuan thanks to the cushioning effect of the Hun Tian Silk, she was still forced to retreat repeatedly by that terrifying force, her blood and qi churning and her face turning pale.
Her gaze toward Chen Fei was filled with unprecedented solemnity and apprehension.
Even with the combined strength of her and He Jinchuan, they were still beaten like this?
Just then, a ferocious figure charged forward again.
"Chen Fei, take another axe blow from me."
It was Zhan Wuji. Taking advantage of the gap in Chen Fei's fight with Ling Qingxue and He Jinchuan, he forcibly suppressed his injuries and swung the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe again, slashing at Chen Fei.
"clang!"
Chen Fei swung his halberd backhand, clashing once again with Zhan Wuji's Sky-Splitting Battle Axe.
This time, Zhan Wuji was finally not sent flying.
However, it was merely that it wasn't cleaved away.
The Sky-Splitting Battle Axe in his hand and Chen Fei's Chaos Halberd were locked in a stalemate in mid-air.
There was no joy on Zhan Wuji's face.
He knew that the reason he was able to block Chen Fei's halberd was not because his strength had increased, but because Chen Fei had just fought Ling Qingxue and He Jinchuan consecutively, and his strength had been depleted.
Zhan Wuji's arms bulged with veins and his muscles tensed as he pressed all his strength against Chen Fei, attempting to overpower him. However, no matter how hard he tried, Chen Fei's halberd remained as firm as a rock.
What alarmed him even more was that he could clearly sense that Chen Fei's life force was recovering at an extremely terrifying speed.
The power of the rules in that ninth region seemed to have become an inexhaustible source of energy for him.
In this ninth level area, the three of them not only have to endure the pressure of the rules, but also have to fight against Chen Fei, a monster who can devour the power of the rules to strengthen himself.
With the tides turning and the tides shifting, do they really still have a chance of winning?
With a loud bang, Zhan Wuji was thrown away by a tremendous force.
Above the capital, the enormous celestial canopy displayed everything within the ninth level of the realm with crystal clarity before the eyes of countless cultivators.
The entire capital city fell into a frozen silence.
What did they see?
Zhan Wuji, a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Heavenly Battle Sect, is recognized as one of the contenders for the top spot.
Ling Qingxue, the most outstanding successor of the Ice Soul Divine Palace in this generation, is also regarded as a peerless genius who is a favorite to win the championship.
He Jinchuan, a spear prodigy from Hundred Flowers Valley, is slightly less famous than the previous two, but he is still a top expert with the strength to compete for the top five.
These three, any one of them, are figures that countless cultivators of the same generation would look up to, and are among the most dazzling stars in this Grand Competition of Ten Thousand Sects.
But what do they see now?
These three exceptional talents, capable of vying for a place in the top five or even coveting the top spot, are actually joining forces to attack one person.
What's even more unbelievable is that even with the three of them working together, they still couldn't defeat their opponent.
Instead, they were beaten badly and even put at a disadvantage.
"The three of them are evenly matched against one?" An old cultivator with white hair stared wide-eyed, his voice hoarse and dry from shock.
"If someone had told me this before, I would have thought they had lost their mind and were talking nonsense."
“But it just happened anyway,” a middle-aged monk nearby chimed in.
"Peak of the Tai Cang Realm... fighting three top-tier half-step Heavenly Monarchs single-handedly without being at a disadvantage... This can no longer be described as a miracle. This is a myth, a legend."
"Could it be that the champion of this Grand Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects will fall into the hands of someone at the peak of the Tai Cang Realm?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Zhan Wuji and the others must still have trump cards up their sleeves; they won't just admit defeat like this."
"Hidden cards? Zhan Wuji has already used the Heaven-Splitting Battle Axe, Ling Qingxue's Heaven-Shattering Silk was also broken, and He Jinchuan was almost crippled. What other hidden cards does he have?"
The entire capital city was in an uproar because of the breathtaking scene in the sky.
Countless cultivators argued heatedly, some unable to believe their eyes, some trying to find reasons for Zhan Wuji and the others, and others beginning to fervently worship Chen Fei, the one who created the impossible legend.
But regardless, one fact has been deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.
Chen Fei, this anomaly who entered the Yan Yang World with the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, seems to have become the strongest.
Within the ninth layer of the area, Zhan Wuji, Ling Qingxue, and He Jinchuan formed a triangle, surrounding Chen Fei in the middle.
Their gazes were fixed on Chen Fei, their eyes filled with unprecedented solemnity and apprehension.
The brief but intense exchange had made them realize that the young man who appeared to be only at the peak of the Tai Cang Realm was actually far stronger than they had expected.
If they faced him alone, any one of them would be eliminated immediately.
Zhan Wuji gripped the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe tightly. Dark red light shone on the axe blade once more, and his will to fight to the death was even stronger than before.
He Jinchuan didn't speak, but simply gripped the spear in his hand tighter.
His eyes were filled with coldness and ruthlessness.
He knew he was no match for Chen Fei, but he was unwilling to admit defeat so easily. Even if it cost him everything, he wanted to leave something behind for Chen Fei.
Ling Qingxue's cold and beautiful face was expressionless at this moment, but deep in her icy blue eyes burned a flame she had never seen before.
Now that we've chosen to join forces, there's nothing to hesitate about.
If they cannot defeat Chen Fei, then the three of them will become stepping stones for Chen Fei to reach the peak, which is an outcome they absolutely cannot accept.
"kill!"
Zhan Wuji let out a deafening roar and launched the first attack.
The Sky-Splitting Battle Axe in his hand transformed into a dark red lightning bolt that tore through the void, carrying a domineering aura that could split the heavens and the earth, and cleaved down towards Chen Fei.
At the same time, He Jinchuan's spear silently pierced Chen Fei's back.
A dark flame reignited at the tip of the spear. Although its power was not as great as in its prime, its sinister and ruthless nature was even more intense.
With a gentle wave of her hand, Ling Qingxue's Heavenly Silk, infused with her Yuan Power, transformed into flowing curtains of light that wrapped around Chen Fei from all directions.
At the same time, a chilling, primal force, like an invisible shackle, enveloped Chen Fei.
Chen Fei slightly raised his eyelids, his face full of indifference.
The Chaos Halberd in his hand had become one with him.
Zhan Wuji's Sky-Splitting Battle Axe was powerful and heavy, with each strike capable of shattering a plane. However, every time it was about to strike Chen Fei, it was deflected by the Chaos Halberd, and it could not cause any substantial damage to Chen Fei.
He Jinchuan's spear was cunning and ruthless, but Chen Fei was always able to easily thwart his sneak attacks at the last second.
Although Ling Qingxue's Heavenly Silk and icy power were all-pervasive, Chen Fei's aura of devouring everything was like an invisible black hole, completely swallowing and dissolving the light curtains and cold air that were entangling him.
On the contrary, Zhan Wuji and the other two were shaken by the terrifying power containing the true meaning of Guixu and the power of devouring every time they clashed with Chen Fei's halberd, causing their blood and qi to churn and forcing them to retreat.
Then another person had to step in to barely maintain the siege, and they couldn't do anything to Chen Fei.
In the capital city, millions of cultivators watched with rapt attention, their hearts surging with excitement.
Just as Chen Fei and Zhan Wuji were locked in fierce combat and Chen Fei was turning the tide of battle, ripples appeared once again at the edge of the crimson-gold platform outside the Ninefold Space.
Two figures appeared almost simultaneously.
The newcomers were a man and a woman. The man had a handsome face and a gentle, refined demeanor. He held a pure white jade flute in his hand. He was Wen Muheng from Tianyin Pavilion.
The woman was dressed in a deep purple dress, with a graceful figure, charming face, and a natural allure in her eyes and brows. She was none other than Yu Jinyan from the Tianling Sect.
Although these two are not as strong as Yuwen Xuan and Ling Qingxue, they are definitely not to be underestimated.
They were originally exploring other parts of the Fiery Sun World, but were drawn by the earth-shattering battle fluctuations emanating from this nine-fold region, and rushed here.
When they saw the situation in the ninth level area, they were both stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
What did they see?
Zhan Wuji and his two companions attacked Chen Fei, but not only did they fail to defeat him, it looked as if they were being overwhelmed by Chen Fei.
This……
How can this be?
Wen Muheng and Yu Jinyan exchanged a glance, both seeing the same shock and absurdity in each other's eyes.
Can a peak Tai Cang Realm cultivator be this ridiculously strong?
Just as Wen Muheng and Yu Jinyan were stunned by the scene before them, Zhan Wuji's furious roar echoed from the ninth level area:
"You two, what are you standing there for? Come on in and join the attack!"
While Zhan Wuji was desperately swinging his Sky-Splitting Battle Axe to fend off Chen Fei's counterattack, he roared at Wen Muheng and Yu Jinyan outside the light barrier:
"Didn't you see? This kid is really weird. The three of us can't hold him off. If he manages to take us down one by one, we'll all be swept out of the Blazing Sun World by his halberd."
Although Zhan Wuji's words sounded somewhat shameful, they were indeed true.
The brief exchange just now made him realize that, given their current state, it was almost impossible for the three of them to defeat Chen Fei.
Unless new combat forces join them, they are likely to be worn down and killed here by Chen Fei.
Upon hearing this, both Wen Muheng and Yu Jinyan showed hesitation on their faces.
They were all among the top ten strongest in this Tai Cang Dao Asking event, and naturally they had their own pride.
Asking them to gang up on someone whose cultivation level was lower than their own made them feel somewhat ashamed.
However, when they looked at the field and at Chen Fei's terrifying fighting power of taking on three opponents at once, their hesitation quickly vanished.
Zhan Wuji was right. If Chen Fei continued to defeat them one by one, then none of them would be able to withstand his sharp edge.
Of course, one could also sit back and reap the benefits, betting that Zhan Wuji and the other two would be swept out of the Yan Yang World, and betting that they wouldn't encounter Chen Fei first.
"Go together."
A few thoughts flashed through Wen Muheng's eyes, and without further hesitation, he moved, transforming into a streak of light, and directly passed through the nine layers of light shield, rushing into the ninth area.
Yu Jinyan bit her lip and followed closely behind, rushing inside.
In an instant, the number of people surrounding Chen Fei increased from three to five.
Zhan Wuji, Ling Qingxue, He Jinchuan, Wen Muheng, and Yu Jinyan, five top geniuses, actually joined forces to besiege a young man who had entered this place at the peak of the Tai Cang Realm.
In the capital city, when the millions of cultivators saw Wen Muheng and Yu Jinyan join the attack on Chen Fei, everyone was stunned.
Although everyone knew that the rules of the Fiery Sun World were chaotic and any situation could occur, the scene before them still far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Five top-tier half-step Heavenly Monarchs joined forces to besiege a peak Tai Cang Realm cultivator?
This...this isn't right!
Within the ninth level of the area, Chen Fei glanced at the two people rushing towards him, and with a sudden sweep of his halberd, he forced back Zhan Wuji, who was in front of him, and He Jinchuan, who was on the side.
Immediately afterwards, he moved swiftly and appeared directly in front of Yu Jinyan.
Yu Jinyan's expression changed drastically. She never expected that Chen Fei would be so fast. Just a moment ago, he was being attacked by three people, but in the blink of an eye, he broke through the defenses and appeared in front of her.
The Chaos Halberd in Chen Fei's hand, carrying immense force, slashed down fiercely towards her.
"careful!"
"Yu Jinyan, get out of the way!"
Zhan Wuji and Wen Muheng exclaimed almost simultaneously. They wanted to rush forward to help, but within this nine-fold area, they were slower than Chen Fei and had no time to act.
Ling Qingxue and He Jinchuan also wanted to provide assistance, but their positions were equally unfavorable, and Chen Fei's movements were simply too swift.
They could only watch helplessly as Chen Fei's Chaos Halberd, radiating terrifying pressure, slashed fiercely at Yu Jinyan like divine punishment.
Yu Jinyan was, after all, a half-step Heavenly Monarch level expert. Although she was shocked, she almost instinctively crossed the pair of mandarin duck axes in front of her, trying to block Chen Fei's fatal blow.
"clang!"
A deafening roar suddenly erupted within the ninth level of the area.
Yu Jinyan felt a terrifying force, as heavy as the entire world, rushing wildly into her body through the pair of mandarin duck axes.
The pair of mandarin duck axes in her hands let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain, and then, under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, the divine weapons that had accompanied her in battle for many years shattered.
Yu Jinyan's arms, after being impacted by that terrifying force, instantly shattered into two clouds of blood mist.
She coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
The Chaos Halberd that had shattered the Mandarin Duck Axe still slammed into Yu Jinyan's chest with undiminished force.
"Crack!"
A sound of bones cracking rang out, and Yu Jinyan's chest visibly caved in.
She was violently thrown back, crashing into the light barrier at the edge of the ninth zone, then slowly slid down and collapsed to the ground, motionless, her fate unknown.
The moment she landed, the power of the rules of the Fiery Sun World suddenly descended.
A soft light enveloped Yu Jinyan's body, instantly teleporting her out of the Fiery Sun World.
In this chaotic battle, the first person to be eliminated has appeared.
It wasn't Chen Fei, Zhan Wuji, or Ling Qingxue, but Yu Jinyan, who had just joined the battle moments earlier.
She was severely injured and eliminated after only one move from Chen Fei.
This scene instantly plunged the previously somewhat noisy ninth level area into a deathly silence. (End of Chapter)
