After the Engagement Was Broken Off, I Was Pursued by Peerless Holy Maidens - Chapter 41:
Chapter 41: Cloud Elephant Heavenly Might Slash, Xia Feng’s Crisis
“Damn it!”
Yun Feng, who was fiercely battling the five top Holy Maidens of the Southern Region, wore a grim expression as he roared, trying to break through their encirclement to assist the elders.
“Don’t even think about leaving!”
Yun Xuezhi shouted coldly. With a swing of her pitch-black broadsword, a domineering and fierce blade light tore through the air.
“Stay right here!”
The other four Holy Maidens also shouted in unison and launched their attacks at Yun Feng.
Although Yun Feng was extremely powerful, facing the combined assault of the five top Holy Maidens, he dared not be careless and was forced to stop.
Wielding his broadsword, he blocked each attack one after another. His expression turned gloomy as he growled, “Get lost! I don’t want to kill you all, but that doesn’t mean I can’t!”
He, a dignified Earth Tier Martial Venerable, had brought ten 9th stage Yellow Realm Martial Venerable Realm grand elders to encircle and kill Xia Feng. He had thought it was a sure win. Who would have expected Xia Feng to actually be a 9th stage Profound Realm Martial Venerable?
And now, after taking a breakthrough pill mid-battle, Xia Feng had broken through on the spot and reached the Earth Tier Martial Venerable stage, just like Yun Feng himself.
If they didn’t kill him before he fully stabilized his realm and learned advanced martial techniques, he would definitely become a major threat to the Sky Elephant Sect in the future.
What’s more critical was that if Xia Feng killed those elders and then teamed up with the five Holy Maidens to besiege him, his own situation would become extremely dangerous.
“If you want to kill our husband, then you’ll have to step over our dead bodies first!”
The five top Holy Maidens shouted in unison, their expressions firm.
As long as they could hold Yun Feng back until Xia Feng finished off the elders and joined forces with them, there would be a real chance to kill Yun Feng.
“You’re asking for this!”
Yun Feng gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with fury and hatred. “Once I kill you all, I’ll slaughter everyone in Xingyu City. Who will even know it was the Sky Elephant Sect behind it?”
A terrifying surge of spiritual power erupted from within his body, and the broadsword in his hand emitted a dreadful blade light.
He threw the broadsword into the air, where it soared and hovered high above, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth. An overwhelming pressure swept out.
The five Holy Maidens didn’t dare lower their guard. Each began gathering their strength, preparing to strike.
“Cloud Elephant Heavenly Might Slash!”
Yun Feng shouted, forming a hand seal. The broadsword suddenly vanished.
In the next moment, it appeared behind Xia Feng and slashed downward from above.
“Not good! Husband, be careful!”
The five Holy Maidens, who had been focused on countering Yun Feng’s attacks, were completely caught off guard. They hadn’t expected that his technique could pierce through space and appear directly behind Xia Feng.
Just as Xia Feng was about to finish off a heavily injured Sky Elephant Sect elder, he suddenly sensed an overwhelming aura bearing down on him.
It felt as if the pressure of the entire world had descended upon him.
“After this, I really need to learn some powerful martial techniques.”
Xia Feng silently complained in his heart. Right now, he had the spiritual power of an Earth Tier Martial Venerable, but lacked martial techniques to match it, which greatly weakened his combat power.
His body flashed and reappeared several hundred meters away, trying to escape the attack.
However, the broadsword followed him and pierced through the void, arriving at the same spot.
“Hahaha, it’s useless! My Cloud Elephant Heavenly Might Slash locks onto your aura. Unless someone blocks it, it will follow you until it strikes!”
Yun Feng laughed wildly. “Let’s see how you’ll block this without a martial technique!”
“Husband!”
The five Holy Maidens tried to rush over to help, but Xia Feng stopped them.
“Don’t come over! While he’s weaponless, beat him to death for me. I can handle this for now,” Xia Feng’s voice rang out.
“Husband is right. As long as we kill Yun Feng, his attack will naturally disappear.”
The five Holy Maidens calmed down and launched a fierce assault on Yun Feng.
Now without his weapon, Yun Feng couldn’t use his best martial technique and could only dodge their relentless attacks.
“Locked-on aura attack?”
Xia Feng let out a cold snort and instantly appeared in front of a Sky Elephant Sect elder.
That elder was startled and shouted, “Xia Feng, what are you doing? If you kill me now, you’ll be killed by the vice sect master’s attack too!”
He thought Xia Feng was trying to take him down with him and quickly dodged a hundred meters away.
Unfortunately for him, his speed was nowhere near Xia Feng’s.
Just as he stopped, Xia Feng reappeared in front of him.
“Farewell!”
His voice rang in the elder’s ears. In the next instant, Xia Feng had already appeared behind him and sped away.
That elder, already heavily injured, reacted slowly. His spiritual power circulated sluggishly, and he couldn’t move through space quickly.
Before he could shift again, Yun Feng’s broadsword had pierced through the air and struck him square in the chest.
“No!”
The elder let out a despairing scream as his body exploded under the terrifying force, his true spirit shattered along with it—utterly annihilated.
“Damn… even the true spirit was destroyed?”
Xia Feng was startled by the attack’s terrifying power, but he didn’t stop moving.
“Damn it!”
Yun Feng, still being surrounded and attacked by the five Holy Maidens, heard the elder’s dying scream. When he turned to look, he nearly coughed up blood from rage.
Xia Feng had actually used his own attack to kill a fellow sect elder—unforgivable.
BOOM!
At that moment, the five Holy Maidens’ combined attack struck, blasting the distracted Yun Feng far away. He vomited several mouthfuls of blood.
“How dare you get distracted in front of us—looking for death.”
The five Holy Maidens pressed the advantage and launched another wave of violent attacks.
Meanwhile, Xia Feng, now holding Yun Feng’s broadsword, once again charged toward another elder.
“No! Stay away from me!”
That elder’s face turned pale. Already heavily wounded and even worse off than the last one, he had no chance of escaping.
Seeing Xia Feng charge at him, trying to use the vice sect master’s attack again to kill him, fear twisted into madness in the elder’s eyes.
“If I’m going to die, I’m taking you with me!”
He roared and gathered all his remaining spiritual power to attack Xia Feng.
“Cloud Elephant Prajna Technique!”
A massive elephant illusion formed and charged at Xia Feng.
But as soon as the elder launched the attack, his injuries were aggravated. He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, and his aura weakened dramatically.
Just as the giant elephant was about to strike, Xia Feng dodged with a sudden flash of his body.
With a deafening boom, the elephant smashed into Yun Feng’s broadsword and was instantly shattered. The blade then flew through the void once again, chasing after Xia Feng.
But after killing one elder and destroying another’s attack, the blade’s speed had noticeably slowed.
Xia Feng reappeared several hundred meters away. Just as he was about to move again, another giant elephant appeared out of thin air.
It turned out another seriously injured elder had been secretly tracking Xia Feng’s movement pattern. After calculating where he would land next, he preemptively launched an attack.
This time, the attack was too sudden. Xia Feng couldn’t avoid it and could only swing the Clear Snow Sword to counter.
His violent spiritual power shattered the giant elephant, but it still delayed him.
Yun Feng’s broadsword had arrived.
“Die!”
Yun Feng, while dodging the five Holy Maidens’ attacks, had been closely watching Xia Feng’s battle. Seeing this, he burst into wild laughter.
“Husband!”
The five Holy Maidens also paused their assault, trying to pierce through the void to rescue Xia Feng.
In the courtyard, Xia Feng’s father, who had been watching from afar, clenched the jade slip in his hand once more, ready to crush it.
