Chapter 2445 - 2434: Someone from the Hes?
The white-robed youth’s right hand revealed a silver folding fan.This silver folding fan shone brilliantly.
At a glance, it was clear that the materials used to create this silver folding fan were extraordinary.
Upon seeing the silver fan in the white-robed youth’s hand, Old Bai, Wu Fengxian, remarked, "Qiankun Fan? Wasn’t this crafted by Old Hei himself back in the day?"
Old Hei, Jiang Yuntian, also said, "Indeed, this is the Immortal Artifact Qiankun Fan I refined back then, and it’s one of my proud creations, its grade closely approaching that of a high-grade Immortal Artifact, comparable to your Qingyun Sword."
"But I don’t sense any trace of the Jiangs’ bloodline from this guy. He’s definitely not from our Jiang family, yet there’s a familiar aura about him. Could it be...?"
Before Old Hei could finish his sentence.
The white-robed youth holding the Qiankun Fan suddenly disappeared, with sounds of cutting through the air continually echoing.
The white-robed youth’s strength was at Half-step Divine Venerable.
Currently, Ye Chenfeng’s strength was at the late Divine King Realm, but he only maintained a Mid Divine King Realm aura.
After all, this white-robed youth was not an ordinary Half-step Divine Venerable. Who knew how many cards he held? Ye Chenfeng intended to hold back a bit of strength to reveal at a critical moment.
Ye Chenfeng gripped the Qingyun Sword.
Using an Immortal Artifact for powerful techniques consumed Spiritual Energy rapidly, although for ordinary battles, not using an Immortal Artifact meant consuming less Spiritual Energy event with powerful techniques.
The white-robed youth suddenly appeared in front of Ye Chenfeng. Initially, he too didn’t choose to use the Qiankun Fan for powerful techniques, just infused it with Spiritual Energy.
The entire Qiankun Fan immediately radiated a silver glow.
The Qiankun Fan directly stabbed toward Ye Chenfeng. Though the fan’s top was flat, the power of this thrust was anything but ordinary.
Space itself was pierced open, forming a black crack. If hit directly, one’s body would almost certainly be pierced through by the Qiankun Fan.
Ye Chenfeng placed the Qingyun Sword horizontally in front of him, using its blade to block the thrust of the Qiankun Fan.
Spiritual Energy also infused into the Qingyun Sword.
The blade shimmered green, covered in red runes, from which sharp Sword Qi exploded.
"Clang!"
Ye Chenfeng took a step back due to the rebound force, while the white-robed youth was also forced back a step by the counterforce.
Ye Chenfeng only felt his arm holding the Qingyun Sword go numb; for an ordinary Half-step Divine Venerable, standing before Ye Chenfeng now would be nothing at all.
The white-robed youth, forced back a step by the recoil, felt his hand gripping the Qiankun Fan go numb as well, and his gaze grew more serious: "You’re stronger than I thought."
Ye Chenfeng replied indifferently, "You’re weaker than I imagined."
"I hope you can maintain that attitude later; I was merely testing your strength just now."
The white-robed youth shrugged his shoulders.
A raging momentum burst forth from within him.
Green electric arcs instantly filled the body of the white-robed youth.
Surrounded entirely by electric arcs, they also enveloped the Qiankun Fan in his hand.
Old Bai, Wu Fengxian, and Old Hei, Jiang Yuntian, sensed the technique the white-robed youth displayed, and Old Hei Jiang Yuntian, with rage in his voice, said, "As expected, as expected, Thunderstrike, such a long-missed move."
Ye Chenfeng looked solemnly at the white-robed youth, wondering, "Old Bai, Old Hei, do you know where this guy comes from?"
Old Bai Wu Fengxian replied, "We’ve always felt he was familiar, and we’ve had our suspicions, but we couldn’t be certain. Now that he’s used this move, we can completely confirm his origins."
"Thunderstrike is a non-transferable secret technique of the He family, one of the Five Ancient Families. This person should be from within the He family."
The Wus and the Jiangs were once also among the Five Ancient Families.
Later, Old Bai and Old Hei fell victim to the schemes and provocations of a peerless genius within the Hes, turning against each other and dying in mutual destruction.
Who would have thought this white-robed youth was from the family of Old Bai and Old Hei’s enemy?
As the white-robed youth unleashed Thunderstrike,
on the open ground previously lined with red stone pillars,
some strong individuals standing closer could not escape, ultimately being pulled to the pillars by the force, and had their bodies seized by the souls within the stone pillars.
That first mid-Divine Venerable elder with soul possession had his original soul expelled, eventually sealed within a pillar, while the soul from the pillar completely took over his body.
The mid-Divine Venerable elder, now controlling the seized body, murmured, "Our Holy Fire Sect has been preparing and waiting for so many years. The era belonging to our Holy Fire Sect has arrived."
The remaining red stone pillars, engulfed in flames, turned into fiery ropes binding the cultivators.
The souls within the pillars rapidly conducted soul possessions.
As time ticked by, each cultivator bound to the pillars had his soul replaced by that of a Holy Fire Sect member, ultimately trapped within the pillars.
There were still many stone pillars, with numerous souls of the Holy Fire Sect members yet to conduct possession, after Ye Chenfeng and the white-robed youth had left.
The first possessed mid-Divine Venerable elder told the souls within the pillars, "Don’t worry; soon all of you in the Holy Fire Sect can seize a body. We’ll find some bodies to replace soon."
Under the lead of the now possessed mid-Divine Venerable elder,
all possessed members of the Holy Fire Sect quickly headed toward the Sacred Fire Mountains.
At this time, in the Sacred Fire Mountains,
where Ye Chenfeng and the white-robed youth were,
Seeing the white-robed youth surrounded by electric arcs, his move was somewhat like Thousand Thunder Flash, but its power definitely surpassed it.
The Four-Star Secret Method Thousand Thunder Flash,
applied to the legs to increase speed.
Whereas the He family’s non-transferable secret technique Thunderstrike
is a whole-body technique that enhances not only foot speed but also every part of the body, greatly improving the practitioner’s sharpness and reaction speed.
The air teemed with electric arcs.
The white-robed youth’s arc-wrapped body vanished instantly, as arcs interwove fiercely in the air, a piercing sound filling Ye Chenfeng’s ears.
