In the face of his own Aperture Tempering realm being shattered by Chen Fei s arrow, Xing Xinzhao’s eyes widened almost to the point of disbelief.

Sword Return Tower had a total of eight Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, one of whom had only recently broken through in the past two years. The result was that Chen Fei had just pierced the main peak of Sword Return Tower with a single arrow, leaving Yuan Nanyun, who had stayed behind, in an uncertain life-or-death situation.

And now, another elder lay dead before him, directly killed by Chen Fei.

For any sect, Aperture Tempering realm cultivators were an extremely precious source of power. Even within dominant forces, the status of Aperture Tempering realm cultivators remained high.

After all, breakthroughs to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm usually came from the Aperture Tempering realm. Only when there were more Aperture Tempering realm cultivators could someone possibly advance to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm.

For ordinary sects, the importance of Aperture Tempering realm cultivators would be even greater. Losing two Aperture Tempering realm cultivators in just a moment’s time was something Xing Xinzhao could hardly accept.

Sui Wengong stared at Chen Fei with a cold, murderous intent in his heart. Chen Fei had already displayed the aura of the advance Aperture Tempering realm at this moment, although Sui Wengong didn’t know why Chen Fei could cultivate so quickly.

But now was not the time to dwell on that matter. Sui Wengong only wanted to

kill Chen Fei at this moment.

Today, between the two sides, there was no room for compromise.

“Youngster, if you have the guts, come at me!” Xing Xinzhao roared angrily.

Chen Fei glanced at Xing Xinzhao, bent his body, and with a roar, the electromagnetic field began to howl. On the right side of Chen Fei, Fan Zeguang’s heart suddenly trembled, and a chill shot straight to his forehead.

“I’m going to die!”

In Fan Zeguang’s mind, such thoughts emerged subconsciously. He could clearly see the power of Chen Fei’s arrow.

Just moments ago, when the senior elder was shot dead, Fan Zeguang was too consumed by anger to realize the danger he was in. It was only now that he felt a chill and realized that he was facing a advance Aperture Tempering realm powerhouse.

Hide!

Fan Zeguang didn’t have time to think about anything else. He could only push his body’s agility to the extreme. However, in an instant, he felt despair. The sensation of being locked onto did not diminish in the slightest, and there was nowhere to hide.

He wanted to run over to Sui Wengong’s side, but the distance was too great,

and he couldn’t make it in time.

“Boom!”

In a daze, Fan Zeguang heard the trembling sound of a bowstring, and the next moment, a lightning pillar had already arrived in front of him. Fan Zeguang roared in madness, and in that moment, it was as if everything he had ever learned suddenly came together.

Countless insights appeared in Fan Zeguang’s mind, and in a flash, he seemed

to understand everything. His aura began to soar.

The spirit sword in Fan Zeguang’s hand radiated a dazzling light and collided with the lightning pillar before him. In the midst of the lightning, Fan Zeguang’s face contorted in a sinister manner.

“Bang!”

A burst of blood mist bloomed in mid-air, and Fan Zeguang was shattered in the air, his lower-grade spirit sword losing its spiritual essence and falling to the ground with a dull thud.

The difference between the advance Aperture Tempering realm and the early Aperture Tempering realm spanned two small realms, and Chen Fei had also cultivated his techniques to the state of perfection. Such a gap was something Fan Zeguang couldn’t withstand.

Even if his insights were profound, and his aura was raised, Fan Zeguang’s fate had already been sealed.

“You, damn it!” Xing Xinzhao roared loudly.

Sui Wengong’s sword energy shot through the air but was easily evaded by Chen Fei. At this point, both sides were extremely close, and in a moment, Chen Fei would be surrounded by the members of Sword Return Tower.

However, Chen Fei’s expression remained calm, without a hint of panic or surprise.

He flipped his body and the electromagnetic field quivered, but at this moment, the remaining members of Sword Return Tower had all taken cover behind Sui Wengong and Xing Xinzhao, with Sui Wengong leading the charge in a straight line.

They weren’t afraid of Chen Fei unleashing another peak Aperture Tempering realm attack because the distance between the two sides no longer allowed

Chen Fei to build up such power.

Chen Fei remained unfazed and aimed his bow and arrow at Sui Wengong. In the next moment, the bowstring trembled, and a lightning pillar appeared in front of Sui Wengong.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, Sui Wengong shattered Chen Fei’s arrow with a single sword strike. Sui Wengong’s figure paused momentarily, but he quickly regained his composure and continued to charge towards Chen Fei.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Several more arrows were shot, but Sui Wengong blocked them all, and they

had no impact on him.

The other members of Sword Return Tower were encouraged by this. Chen Fei had displayed terrifying combat power just moments ago, killing both early Aperture Tempering realm elders with a single arrow. In front of Chen Fei, it seemed like everyone had become sacrificial lambs.

However, the arrows that had casually claimed their lives had lost their effectiveness in front of Sui Wengong. As both were in the advance Aperture Tempering realm, it appeared that Sui Wengong was even stronger than Chen Fei.

Apart from those highly charged, almost peak Aperture Tempering realm attacks, which were indeed very powerful, the close proximity between the two sides made it impossible for Chen Fei to gather such power. Moreover, such attacks would likely be extremely challenging for Chen Fei to aim accurately. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have shot the arrows towards the main peak of Sword Return Tower earlier.

In just a moment, Sui Wengong would catch up to Chen Fei, and when that happened, the others would form a formation to trap Chen Fei here completely. Sui Wengong’s gaze turned increasingly cold as he looked at Chen Fei. Blocking Chen Fei’s attacks with several swords had indeed boosted Sui Wengong’s confidence.

It was only right that he felt this way. The last time he had seen Chen Fei, he had only been in the middle of the Aperture Tempering realm. Yet, in less than a year, Chen Fei had become so young and had broken through to the advance Aperture Tempering realm. That was already considered exceptional talent.

Moreover, Chen Fei had displayed combat power beyond imagination with those attacks that had the potential to reach peak Aperture Tempering realm after being charged.

To reach such a level of talent was something Sui Wengong had never witnessed before. However, the time given for cultivation after the breakthrough was still too short. Chen Fei undoubtedly had his shortcomings as well. The arrows he had shot just now should be considered his normal attack level.

Although he had reached the advance Aperture Tempering realm and was even stronger than most who had recently entered it, this was likely the limit. Chen Fei’s expression changed slightly. The Great Thunder Sword was indeed powerful, but when Chen Fei converted it into arrows, there was still a loss of power. The time for electromagnetic acceleration was only a moment, and the displayed attack power was indeed only considered average in the advance Aperture Tempering realm.

If he wanted to fully infuse the power of the Primordial Sword Scripture into the arrows, he needed a bit of time to charge it. The longer the charge, the stronger the attack.

But in direct combat, the enemy wouldn’t give you much time to charge, if any

at all.

This electromagnetic cannon was ultimately a technique Chen Fei had devised himself, and there were still many imperfections to be addressed.

Chen Fei watched as Sui Wengong approached closer and closer, a hint of electric light appearing beneath his feet. In the next moment, amid a burst of magnetic explosions, Chen Fei disappeared from his original position.

When he reappeared, Chen Fei was already at the side of the Sword Return

Tower group.

Chen Fei’s decision to advance instead of retreat took everyone by surprise, and his current display of speed in his movements unsettled those watching.

Chen Fei flipped his longbow in hand, aiming an arrow at He Yunrui, who was behind Sui Wengong.

He Yunrui felt himself locked on to, and his soul felt like it was about to be shocked out of his body. The gruesome scene of Fan Zeguang just moments ago was still fresh in his mind.

At that moment, Fan Zeguang’s aura surged, and his sword technique was perfected. It was clear that he had broken through some obstacles in his cultivation right on the spot. But even so, facing Chen Fei’s arrow, he had no resistance whatsoever.

He Yunrui’s cultivation was even lower than Fan Zeguang’s. If it weren’t for being struck by Chen Fei’s sword, he would undoubtedly have met the same fate.

“Boom!”

The trembling of the bowstring also caused He Yunrui’s heart to skip a beat.

Sword Return!

Sui Wengong shouted lowly, and his figure turned into a blur, disappearing from his original position. With almost invisible speed to the naked eye, he appeared in front of He Yunrui.

“Bang!”

Sui Wengong shattered the arrow with a single sword strike. He Yunrui, who was behind, was already covered in cold sweat.

Chen Fei looked at Sui Wengong with some surprise. The agility and speed displayed by Sui Wengong just now were truly astonishing to him.

Indeed, every type of technique that could be cultivated to the advance Aperture Tempering realm had its unique qualities.

Xing Xinzhao flashed to Sui Wengong’s side, and suddenly, a sword intent shot into Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness. At this moment, the distance between the two sides was not too far, finally allowing Xing Xinzhao to find this opportunity.

Xing Xinzhao’s acupoints were damaged, but his mental power was still at the advance Aperture Tempering realm level. This mental attack was naturally extremely sharp.

Among peers, mental attacks were rarely used because they often resulted in mutual injury and did not yield significant advantages. However, given Xing Xinzhao’s lack of combat strength, direct confrontation was not effective, so he chose to engage in a mental battle, even if it meant trading injuries to drag Chen Fei down with him.

“Seal!”

Suddenly, a mirror-like light appeared on Sui Wengong’s chest, enveloping Chen Fei within it, exerting a tremendous force that forcefully held Chen Fei in place.

The Primordial Sealing Mirror, a high-grade spiritual weapon, exerted a force of a thousand catties under its light, enough to crush those with weaker cultivations, and even those with higher cultivations would find it difficult to move.

Sui Wengong had been waiting for an opportunity all along. Chen Fei was a person who could not be allowed to escape, and his presence posed even greater pressure on Sui Wengong than what the Primordial Sword Sect had given him. If they couldn’t keep Chen Fei here this time, the next time they met, Sword Return Tower might become history.

Sui Wengong was even somewhat grateful this time that Chen Fei had rushed here immediately after breaking through to the advance Aperture Tempering realm.

Otherwise, based on the information about Chen Fei that they had received, he had barely been in the Primordial Sword Sect for a few years. In just a short time, Chen Fei’s cultivation had skyrocketed, and now he had rapidly advanced to the advance Aperture Tempering realm.

If Chen Fei had a few more years of cultivation, it would be even more troublesome!

Although the losses were still heavy this time, with several Aperture Tempering realm cultivators dead, leaving Sword Return Tower severely weakened, it would likely take a long time to recover. But as long as they could kill Chen Fei here, it would all be worth it.

“Phew!”

Beside them, Xing Xinzhao suddenly sprayed a mist of blood into the air, as if his sea of consciousness was about to crack open. But when looking at Chen Fei, that sword intent had no effect on him at all. It was as if it had no impact whatsoever on Chen Fei..
