Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 983: A Slap

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

He did not evade; instead, he withstood the attack with his physical body and remained unharmed.

Although his vital energy and spirit were slightly depleted, Chen Fei’s breath soon restored the lost vitality in an instant.

With the Great Completion stage’s Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword and the Mastery stage’s Celestial Suppression, Chen Fei’s defense had reached a state of complete unity.

Even if the five short daggers from the Forest Clan were stabbed into various parts of Chen Fei’s body, or even if all five daggers were simultaneously stabbed into the same spot, Chen Fei’s body would automatically distribute the impact, making his entire physique endure the attack.

Chen Fei’s current defense was at a level beyond the comprehension of typical Sun Moon Realm practitioners.

Among the surrounding dozens of races, there had never been a case like Chen Fei’s in history.

The Great Completion stage’s Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword was one reason, but the greater reason lay in the Mastery Realm’s Celestial Suppression, an unparalleled ancient inheritance.

The five members of the Forest Clan, sensing that their attacks couldn’t even breach the surface of the human before them, were instantly shocked.

They had considered all possibilities, but never imagined their attacks could not break through the defense of a peer, especially not when five of them were attacking simultaneously.

“The strength is lacking a bit. Now it’s my turn!”

The strength of the Forest Clan’s five members was partially refined by the Celestial Suppression. At this moment, the sound of Chen Fei’s blood flowing was vast and surging, creating a spine-chilling sensation.

The Qianyuan Sword flipped and directly slashed forward.

“Retreat!”

Ding Shu, observing the scene from behind, had his pupils constrict violently.

With a fierce shout, Ding Shu’s dagger instantly shattered, transforming mid-air into a poisonous serpent that bit toward Chen Fei.

Toxicity rapidly spread through the heavenly and earthly energies; this poison was so potent that even a mere glance could affect those below the Sun Moon Realm.

Even mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners needed to be cautious, especially since any surface wounds could allow the toxins to invade directly.

Chen Fei showed no reaction to Ding Shu’s attack as the Qianyuan Sword’s blade met the five Forest Clan daggers.

The five Forest Clan members knew they had encountered a tough opponent. Alone, their strength could hardly withstand the human’s sharpness.

At this moment, their only option was to combine their efforts to block the first strike and use the force of the attack to retreat.

Afterward, they would fight while retreating and stay completely away to preserve their lives.

Fortunately, they had six of them, all at the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm. As long as they worked together and focused on defense, they should be able to handle it.

“Clang!”

The Qianyuan Sword clashed with the five daggers, producing a piercingly distorted sound.

The five Forest Clan members, who had forced themselves to remain calm, suddenly changed expressions.

The five daggers, which should have been solid and unbreakable, were instantly forced apart by the sword’s blade.

The Qianyuan Sword continued unimpeded, slicing through the bodies of three Forest Clan members without the slightest pause.

“Buzz!”

The space slightly trembled and wrinkled. The three Forest Clan members did not have time for any further resistance; their bodies were directly sliced into a mass of blood mist, with their vitality extinguished.

One strike, and three mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners were killed instantly.

“Ah!”

The remaining two Forest Clan members had their eyes wide open, their eye corners even tearing from the exertion.

The life-threatening forbidden technique erupted on the two Forest Clan members in an instant, with no reserves, and a terrifying aura soared to the heavens.

“Boom!”

Chen Fei raised his left hand to catch Ding Shu’s poisonous serpent bite.

It seemed as though his left hand contained a vast universe; the serpent’s head was as large as a mile, yet in Chen Fei’s hand, it had no room to struggle. Chen Fei crushed it effortlessly, revealing a dagger riddled with cracks inside.

Ding Shu’s face turned pale. His divine abilities had been broken, and his life-saving treasure was seized. He involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood.

Without hesitation, Ding Shu transformed into a streak of rainbow light and fled into the distance.

He felt that he was not facing a mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioner or even a late-stage one, but rather a peak Sun Moon Realm powerhouse.

All of his attacks seemed transparent to this human.

Earlier, when the five Forest Clan members worked together to defend, it appeared that the opponent’s sword forced them apart. But Ding Shu, observing from afar, had seen clearly.

The slight rotation of the opponent’s sword, though seemingly casual, had instantly separated the combined defense of the five Forest Clan members.

In the eyes of this person, five opponents and one opponent were nearly indistinguishable!

This person’s understanding of the Sun Moon Realm reached an inconceivable level, far beyond most peak Sun Moon Realm practitioners.

Such a person was too terrifying. Facing such an opponent, there was no chance of winning!

But who was this person? Ding Shu could not recognize him due to his unfamiliar appearance and aura.

If the person were a known genius among the human race, Ding Shu might have been more cautious upon first encountering him.

But unfortunately, it was too late for any regrets now.

“Buzz!”

A wave of energy came from behind, and the presence of the two remaining Forest Clan members disappeared in an instant. Ding Shu’s fear intensified.

The forbidden technique had erupted, and without any reservations, the result was the same as before the technique was unleashed.

This meant that no matter how much one struggled in front of this human, the outcome would be unchanged.

Chen Fei’s Qianyuan Sword pointed diagonally at the ground, and a drop of blood fell from its tip.

Chen Fei looked up at Ding Shu’s fleeing figure, made a slight gesture with his left hand, and five streams of spiritual essence flowed into the Concealment Bell.

The Concealment Bell trembled slightly, its appetite stirred by the spiritual essence. However, it knew it could not absorb more, or it would fail to contain the transformation and directly advance to a top-grade mystic treasure.

At that point, it would not only be unable to help but would also bring additional trouble.

The six daggers, now reduced to dust-sized fragments, entered Chen Fei’s sleeve. Chen Fei took a step forward, shifting through space and instantly appearing in front of Ding Shu.

Ding Shu, seeing Chen Fei materialize out of thin air, had his pupils twitch violently. In a frenzy, he roared and transformed into a poisonous serpent again, attacking Chen Fei.

Surrendering would be futile; his only chance was a desperate fight, hoping for some slim chance of survival.

Moreover, many races in the Glass Space were hunting humans. If there were other races, especially the Hill or Water Clans, within several hundred miles, they might come to investigate.

This might be his chance to survive.

Chen Fei looked up at the poisonous serpent transformed by Ding Shu and extended his right hand, delivering a powerful slap to its side.

“Boom!”

A thunderous explosion surged into the sky. The serpent’s head instantly shattered, and the terrifying force propagated through its head, crushing the entire serpent’s body and revealing Ding Shu inside, who was now just a skeleton covered by skin due to the backlash of the forbidden technique.

Chen Fei’s right hand reached out, causing Ding Shu’s body to involuntarily fly toward him, crashing into Chen Fei’s palm.

A colossal force pressed down on Ding Shu. He struggled to open his eyes, looking up at the human before him, his gaze filled with despair.

Despite both being mid-stage Sun Moon Realm practitioners, after exhausting all his strength, he was still as insignificant as an ant. How could there be such a prodigy among the humans?

Prodigies are talented and can even fight beyond their rank, but this was beyond reason.

“Now you can explain what’s going on,” Chen Fei said coldly, looking down at Ding Shu.

A quarter-hour later, Chen Fei exerted a bit more force, directly crushing Ding Shu’s neck and ending his life instantly.

Ding Shu’s spiritual essence was extracted and placed into the Concealment Bell.

Chen Fei looked ahead, his gaze slightly shifting.

He hadn’t anticipated such significant changes in the Glass Space during his seclusion. Several races were hunting humans at the Sun Moon Realm level.

Now, the entire human race at the Sun Moon Realm in this area was in a state of constant danger.

Exploring dangerous territories for resources was no longer a priority. The immediate concern for the human race’s Sun Moon Realm practitioners had become escaping the Glass Space.

“Kill humans?”

Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly. His figure flickered and he flew toward the distance.

Three hundred thousand miles away, there was a perilous place called the Taiyin Peak, one of the eight major dangers of the Glass Space, where numerous alien races were gathered.

At the same time, Chen Fei activated the Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword slightly, causing a shadow as thin as a cicada’s wing to appear in the sky.

Even from hundreds of miles away, Chen Fei’s aura was detectable without special perception, making it clear that a human was present.

“If you want to kill humans, here’s a human. Come quickly and kill him!”

A thousand miles away, Lu Shuzhang held a rune and blended into a rock, completely concealing his presence, as if he were a lifeless object.

In the sky, a dark cloud roiled as it was pursued by more than ten Water Clan members led by Lou Kun.

Thanks to the various rare treasures stored in the Sky Resonance Court, Lu Shuzhang had managed to escape from the relentless pursuit of the Water Clan, narrowly saving his life.

Lu Shuzhang’s foundational skills were solidly established, with no weak points in his cultivation system. Even his speed was among the best in his rank.

Otherwise, despite having numerous trump cards, if his speed were any slower, he would have been overwhelmed by the siege of the Water Clan members of the same rank.

The dark cloud flew several dozen miles away and then circled back to search, but it still could not find Lu Shuzhang’s trace.

Countless large raindrops poured down, bombarding the ground below, but Lu Shuzhang remained elusive.

“He actually escaped!” Lou Kun’s expression darkened within the cloud.

Suddenly, Lou Kun’s expression shifted slightly as he turned to look behind. There seemed to be a faint fluctuation of human cultivation aura.

It was vague, indicating that the human was at least a thousand miles away.

When Water Clan members connect, their senses are enhanced along with their strength, allowing them to detect distant auras, as in this case.

Lou Kun’s eyes showed reluctance as he continued searching briefly but failed to find Lu Shuzhang. He then charged off toward the southeast.
