Chapter 1535: Chapter 1526: Purple Lightning Strikes! Blasted to Ashes!
The five people at the lower left corner by the seaside.
Among them, one person with late-stage strength in the Second Heavenly Layer of the Reincarnation Realm is Gu Nanhong, the City Lord of Tongtian City.
The young man standing beside Gu Nanhong is his son, Gu Tianchi, with late-stage strength in the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Divine Thought Realm.
In front of Gu Nanhong and Gu Tianchi stands an old man dressed in a white robe; he is Gu Xingyuan, the ancestor of Tongtian City, possessing late-stage strength in the First Heavenly Layer of the Nirvana Realm.
Back then, Ye Chenfeng, Su Bingshuan, and Liang Zuoyi entered Tongtian City together.
Upon entering Tongtian City, they encountered Zhu Wenchang, an Elder of the Refining Sect.
Zhu Wenchang’s son was Zhu Mingqian, the shopkeeper of the Divine Artifact Pavilion in Tianyao City. Ye Chenfeng had obtained Spirit Qi Wings and Purple Meteorite Profound Iron from Zhu Mingqian’s hands, leading Zhu Mingqian to want to kill Ye Chenfeng to reclaim his belongings, but ultimately, Zhu Mingqian died at Ye Chenfeng’s hands.
During their time in Tongtian City.
Zhu Wenchang immediately recognized Ye Chenfeng as the person who killed his son.
At that time, the Tongtian City Lord Gu Nanhong’s son, Gu Tianchi, was about to pledge as Zhu Wenchang’s disciple to learn the art of artifact refining.
Thus, naturally, Tongtian City’s City Lord Gu Nanhong and his son Gu Tianchi stood on Zhu Wenchang’s side.
However, Elder Tianhuo intervened unexpectedly.
In the end, Ye Chenfeng and Zhu Wenchang competed in artifact refining, and Zhu Wenchang lost to Ye Chenfeng; with Elder Tianhuo’s help, Zhu Wenchang also died at Ye Chenfeng’s hands.
Elder Tianhuo, obsessive about artifact refining, even took Ye Chenfeng as his master.
After Zhu Wenchang’s death in the Refining Sect, Tongtian City’s City Lord Gu Nanhong promptly wrote a letter to the Refining Sect, not mentioning the competition between Ye Chenfeng and Zhu Wenchang, only indicating that Zhu Wenchang died at the hands of Elder Tianhuo and Ye Chenfeng and others.
Explaining the situation might provoke the Refining Sect to vent their anger on Tongtian City.
Back then, the ancestor of Tongtian City, Gu Xingyuan, was in secluded cultivation and only learned of the matter after Ye Chenfeng and the others left.
Currently, beside the Tongtian City ancestor Gu Xingyuan stand two old men, one of whom is Yang Fande, the Great Elder of the Refining Sect, a Fifth-Rank Artifact Refiner with late-stage strength in the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm.
Within the Refining Sect, aside from the Sect Master having reached Sixth-Rank Artifact Refiner, only the Great Elder and Second Elder reached Fifth-Rank Artifact Refiner.
The other old man is Shi Tianhong, the ancestor of Wanyue Pavilion, possessing peak strength in the First Heavenly Layer of the Nirvana Realm. Ye Chenfeng once killed Wanyue Pavilion’s Sect Master Shi Qianren using space turbulence and tore through the void to escape, leaving Shi Tianhong furious.
Wanyue Pavilion suffered such a massive loss, mainly due to the Refining Sect’s pressure, considering Wanyue Pavilion’s disciples Su Bingshuan and Liang Zuoyi were also involved in the Zhu Wenchang affair.
After Wanyue Pavilion’s Sect Master Shi Qianren died, Shi Tianhong immediately visited the Refining Sect.
The Refining Sect’s Great Elder Yang Fande returned to the Wanyue Pavilion square with Shi Tianhong; Yang Fande, having comprehended the Space Law, used various methods to roughly determine the whereabouts of Ye Chenfeng and others.
Thus, Yang Fande and Shi Tianhong pursued them, but halfway there, heard about the appearance of relics on Sunset Island, approximately aligning with Ye Chenfeng’s direction.
Therefore, Yang Fande and Shi Tianhong decided to head to Sunset Island.
However, Yang Fande quickly set out without bringing a spiritual artifact large ship, so he had to wait for the transportation ship from Sunset Island.
Tongtian City’s Gu Xingyuan and others arrived at the seaside due to hearing about the Sunset Island relics, without a magic artifact or spiritual artifact large ship from Tongtian City, also having to wait for the Sunset Island ship.
The people of Tongtian City encountered Yang Fande and Shi Tianhong at the seaside.
Initially, Tongtian City reported the death of Zhu Wenchang to the Refining Sect, so naturally, Tongtian City’s people joined Yang Fande and Shi Tianhong.
Among these five people, although the Refining Sect’s Great Elder Yang Fande only has late-stage strength in the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm, the Nirvana Realm’s Tongtian City ancestor Gu Xingyuan and Wanyue Pavilion ancestor Shi Tianhong dare not act arrogantly in front of Yang Fande, treating him politely.
The exalted status of a Fifth-Rank Artifact Refiner in the Earth Profound Realm is evident.
Many cultivators waiting by the seaside for the Sunset Island ship recognized Yang Fande and others’ identities, not daring to approach and only cautiously discussing from afar.
“Bang!”
Ye Chenfeng suddenly surged out of the water, standing steadily on the shore.
Instantly, all cultivators on the shore focused their gaze on Ye Chenfeng.
Among the five people at the lower left corner by the seaside.
Though Yang Fande and Gu Xingyuan hadn’t met Ye Chenfeng in person, they had seen his portrait.
Yang Fande and the others momentarily froze upon seeing Ye Chenfeng.
The ancestor of Wanyue Pavilion, Shi Tianhong’s face was immediately filled with rage and killing intent, growling low in his throat, “This nasty brat has finally appeared.”
Tongtian City’s Gu Xingyuan and Gu Nanhong’s eyes sparkled; after all, they concealed Zhu Wenchang’s murder and also wished for Ye Chenfeng’s end.
As for the Refining Sect’s Great Elder Yang Fande, he frowned slightly, thinking because Tongtian City concealed the facts, Zhu Wenchang’s murder was initiated by the Reincarnation Realm’s Elder Tianhuo, with Ye Chenfeng and Su Bingshuan as minor players.
However, for the Refining Sect’s dignity, even minor players must be absolutely eliminated.
After Yang Fande walked toward Ye Chenfeng, only then did Shi Tianhong and Gu Xingyuan follow behind him.
Ye Chenfeng, with the Black Xuan Sword hanging on his back, felt a surge of murderous intent. When he saw Yang Fande and the others, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He recognized Gu Nanhong, Gu Tianchi, and Shi Tianhong.
Yang Fande and the others stopped about ten meters away from Ye Chenfeng. The Great Elder of the Refining Sect, Yang Fande, coldly shouted, “Boy, you are also involved in the death of our Refining Sect Elder Zhu Wenchang. Do you intend to end yourself, or should I do it?”
Ye Chenfeng didn’t know Yang Fande, but the killing intent within him subtly gathered as well.
Gu Tianchi, son of Gu Nanhong, the City Lord of Tongtian City, harbored deep hatred for Ye Chenfeng. If not for Ye Chenfeng, he would have long been able to apprentice under Zhu Wenchang and truly embark on the path of an Artifact Refiner.
Upon sensing the killing intent within Ye Chenfeng, Gu Tianchi immediately respectfully said to Yang Fande, “Senior Yang, this boy seems unyielding. Let me handle this small fry; otherwise, it’ll only dirty your hands.”
Ye Chenfeng did not hide his aura, and everyone present could sense that his strength was in the late stage of the Third Heavenly Layer of the Divine Thought Realm.
Yang Fande agreed with Gu Tianchi’s words and casually said, “Alright, I’ll leave this boy for you to deal with.”
Shi Tianhong, the Patriarch of Wanyue Pavilion nearby, saw that Yang Fande had left Ye Chenfeng for Gu Tianchi to handle, and he couldn’t object further.
However, if he didn’t personally kill Ye Chenfeng, Shi Tianhong definitely wouldn’t be able to swallow this anger. He said, “Gu Tianchi, leave him with a breath; I want to kill this boy personally.”
Shi Tianhong was at the Nirvana Realm, and Gu Tianchi couldn’t refuse him either. He smiled and said, “Rest assured, Senior Shi, I’ll at most cripple this boy’s cultivation and break a few of his bones.”
The commotion from Yang Fande and the others immediately drew everyone’s attention by the seaside.
Suddenly, murmurs erupted, and they all stared at Ye Chenfeng.
“Who is this boy? How did he offend the Refining Sect?”
“He’s simply an idiot. I think this boy, who appeared out of nowhere, is definitely doomed today.”
…
As everyone around was discussing.
Gu Tianchi, at the late stage of the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Divine Thought Realm, stepped forward six steps, his gaze fixed on Ye Chenfeng, and shouted, “Boy, we meet again. Today, you’re not lucky enough to escape. Prepare to die!”
Yang Fande, Gu Tianchi’s father Gu Nanhong, and the others looked indifferent. In their view, Ye Chenfeng’s strength was only at the late stage of the Third Heavenly Layer of the Divine Thought Realm, more than enough for Gu Tianchi to handle Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng, with the Black Xuan Sword hanging on his back, sensed that the members of the Sea Clan like Dong Yehai near the seabed not far away probably hadn’t left yet. He needed to create some commotion to draw attention from Dong Yehai and the others to the situation here.
As long as Dong Yehai and the others intervened, only the first layer of the Nirvana Realm’s Gu Xingyuan and Shi Tianhong would pose no threat.
Looking at the arrogant Gu Tianchi before him, Ye Chenfeng felt the power of the Extinguishing Purple Thunder above his Sea of Consciousness. He estimated it would be impossible to kill a Creation Realm expert.
Ye Chenfeng guessed this Extinguishing Purple Thunder should be able to kill cultivators around the Fifth Heavenly Layer of the Divine Thought Realm.
Ye Chenfeng intended to use Gu Tianchi as a test to see if this Extinguishing Purple Thunder could be released from his Sea of Consciousness.
Gu Tianchi, seeing Ye Chenfeng not speaking, assumed Ye Chenfeng was scared, and coldly laughed, “Boy, today even if you beg on your knees, you won’t escape death.”
Yang Fande and the others all looked at Ye Chenfeng with disdain, not considering him significant at all.
Ye Chenfeng’s Divine Sense within his Sea of Consciousness controlled that Extinguishing Purple Thunder, a sneer forming at his lips, and he said, “Since you’re seeking death, I’ll oblige you.”
Gu Tianchi, hearing Ye Chenfeng still daring to talk tough, escalated his aura, his figure swiftly lunging toward Ye Chenfeng, shouting, “Boy, I want to see how long your tough talk will last!”
At the moment Gu Tianchi charged at Ye Chenfeng.
A purple light flashed on Ye Chenfeng’s brow.
“Boom!” A loud explosion sounded.
A bolt of Extinguishing Purple Thunder shot out from Ye Chenfeng’s brow like a purple serpent, swiftly striking toward Gu Tianchi.
The speed was extreme.
Gu Tianchi only saw a flash of purple light; he didn’t have time to dodge before being engulfed by the Extinguishing Purple Thunder.
“Zzt! Zzt! Zzt!” The sound of lightning echoed in the air.
After the Extinguishing Purple Thunder dissipated.
Gu Tianchi had already fallen to the ground, the arrogance on his face hadn’t faded, his facial expression seemed frozen, his eyes devoid of life.
Gu Tianchi’s clothes turned to nothingness, his body charred black as if roasted.
He was directly killed by a single strike of the Extinguishing Purple Thunder.
The purple thunder emerged! Turned to dust!
The seaside instantly fell into silence.
