Chapter 283: Roar

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The disciples of the Primordial Sword Sect, accompanied by members of the Sunken Water Pavilion and the Big Dipper Tower, rushed to the Long Rainbow Sect’s mountain gate at lightning speed.

Upon arrival, they were greeted by a shimmering barrier that enveloped the entire Long Rainbow Sect. From a distance, they could see the anxious and helpless expressions of Long Rainbow Sect disciples beneath the barrier.

When the Divine Flame Sect had conspired against the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, the Long Rainbow Sect had already prepared for evacuation. However, the sudden arrival of Immortal Cloud Sword Sect had trapped them, preventing their escape.

As the Long Rainbow Sect contemplated whether to eliminate the incoming visitors and force their way out, several Immortal Cloud Sword Sect elders, some of whom were in the late Aperture Tempering realm, appeared unexpectedly.

This alerted the Long Rainbow Sect to the severity of the situation, and they attempted a desperate breakout.

Just as they were about to attempt a daring escape, Tong Zhongqiu’s figure appeared in the sky above the Long Rainbow Sect. His imposing aura, stemming from the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, left the Long Rainbow Sect disciples breathless.

Following Tong Zhongqiu, the members of the Sunken Water Pavilion arrived, followed by the Big Dipper Tower and other smaller sects, effectively surrounding the Long Rainbow Sect.

With the tide turned against them, despair washed over the Long Rainbow Sect.

While a significant number of their members had already left the sect days ago with valuable resources, most of them remained within the sect’s boundaries.

Departing too early would have aroused the suspicion of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, with whom they were still conspiring against the Divine Flame Sect.

However, everything had changed now. The Immortal Cloud Sword Sect’s Aperture Tempering Realm experts had survived, while the Divine Flame Sect had suffered heavier casualties. As a result, they were unable to provide assistance to the Long Rainbow Sect.

The most powerful member of the Divine Flame Sect, Jian Jinsheng, was directly blocked by Tong Zhongqiu and had no way to reach the Divine Flame Sect.

Long Rainbow Sect’s Sect Master, Ding Luzhong, had a pale face as he looked at the formation outside, tightly gripping the long spear in his hand. It was due to some machinations that the entire Long Rainbow Sect had been dragged into its current predicament.

However, even if it meant stepping over the corpses of Long Rainbow Sect members, he would demand their consent. Even in death, Ding Luzhong was determined to drag a few of them along.

“Break through their defenses, kill!” shouted Guo Huaiyu, a member of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, with anger in his voice. He pointed his long sword forward, and a sharp sword aura crossed hundreds of meters, striking the Long Rainbow Sect’s formation with a dull sound.

“Set up the formation!” commanded Qu Qingsheng in a low voice. Black radiance flashed around him as a force field with a radius of hundreds of meters descended upon the Primordial Sword Sect.

The members of the Primordial Sword Sect took their predetermined positions, channeling all their power into the sword formation. In an instant, a massive black sword emerged and swung towards the Long Rainbow Sect’s formation.

The Zhongyuan Sword Formation, with Qu Qingsheng as its core, absorbed the power of his fellow sect members and unleashed this imposing strike.

However, such tactics were only suitable for breaking through formations. In actual combat between true martial artists, such coordinated attacks were too slow, making them vulnerable to exploitation, and it was challenging to land a hit on the enemy.

Formations, on the other hand, didn’t change and were better suited for defense.

“Boom!”

The Long Rainbow Sect’s formation trembled violently, with ripples continuously rising and falling, countering the force of the giant sword. Yet, before the formation could absorb this power, two more massive beams of light crashed into it.

The attacks from the Sunken Water Pavilion and the Big Dipper Tower had arrived, and as a result, the Long Rainbow Sect’s formation shattered directly.

A sect could not withstand the combined assault of three nearly equally powerful sects. The formation crumbled, and the people within it were in disarray.

There was no escaping the inevitable fate when Long Rainbow Sect found itself cornered within the confines of its mountain gate.

Over forty Aperture Tempering realm cultivators rushed towards Long Rainbow Sect’s mountain gate. Long Rainbow Sect’s Body Refining Realm disciples, organized in teams, formed defensive formations, but they posed no threat whatsoever to the Aperture Tempering cultivators.

In the blink of an eye, the mountain path of Long Rainbow Sect was stained with blood.

A quarter of an hour later, the Aperture Tempering cultivators from both sides finally clashed.

Long Rainbow Sect primarily trained in the use of long spears, where one’s courage was synonymous with their proficiency in spear techniques. In the face of actual combat, not a single Long Rainbow Sect member retreated. However, their courage could not alter the situation.

With just a single encounter, several of Long Rainbow Sect’s initial Aperture Tempering cultivators were severely injured. They were quickly overwhelmed by subsequent attacks, leaving them with no time to recover.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered as he seized the opportunity and charged towards the center of Long Rainbow Sect.

Having been in this world for a while, Chen Fei had not encountered anything similar to a spatial storage bag, a convenient item that the members of Long Rainbow Sect couldn’t carry with them.

For Chen Fei, killing was certainly secondary to his objective. The most practical goal was to acquire as many resources as possible during his visit to Long Rainbow Sect.

Many others shared Chen Fei’s objective, but some were hindered by Long Rainbow Sect members, unable to escape.

Aware that they were doomed today, the Long Rainbow Sect members fought with madness, trying to drag down as many opponents as possible before their inevitable demise. Their thoughts were fixated on making the most of their final moments.

“Swish!”

A long spear appeared in front of Chen Fei. The spearhead scraped against the air, producing numerous sparks, and its formidable aura seemed capable of piercing and igniting a person.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered, and the spearhead pierced through him without drawing any blood. Chen Fei had already appeared in another location.

The person holding the spear was somewhat surprised. Chen Fei’s appearance wasn’t a secret among the various sects in Immortal Cloud City. After all, his standout performance in the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was still fresh in people’s memories.

Originally, the intent was to kill Chen Fei to hurt the Primordial Sword Sect deeply. However, Chen Fei effortlessly evaded, and this kind of agility was unexpected from a newly advanced Aperture Tempering realm cultivator.

Chen Fei didn’t linger and swiftly moved away from the Long Rainbow Sect member, continuing towards the center of Long Rainbow Sect.

In just a moment, Chen Fei saw Long Rainbow Sect’s Treasure Repository. Before coming here, Chen Fei had obtained Long Rainbow Sect’s topography map from Feng Xiupu.

Feng Xiupu understood Chen Fei’s intentions and didn’t stop him. After all, with Chen Fei’s strength, it was a question of who should be cautious when encountering an average Aperture Tempering initial realm cultivator.

As for the strong cultivators in the mid and late Aperture Tempering realms, they had already been closely monitored by members of several sects. Chen Fei staying away from those combat zones was actually a good thing.

Chen Fei kicked open the doors of the Treasure Repository. The scene inside appeared quite chaotic. It was evident that the Long Rainbow Sect members had hastily packed up, but they still left quite a few things behind.

Especially those large items that couldn’t be moved were all left in the Treasure Repository.

Chen Fei’s figure flickered, and he couldn’t take away those large items. What he was looking for now were the spiritual materials that were useful to him and how many there were.

Some aged medicinal herbs, especially those that had aged for over fifty years, were thrown into his bag. He hadn’t found any elemental stones or spiritual grasses.

Just as Chen Fei was feeling somewhat disappointed, a pill furnace appeared in front of him.

“A spirit tool?”

Chen Fei appeared in front of the pill furnace and, after a careful examination, couldn’t help but feel disappointed. It used to be a spirit tool, but now it was just a shell, devoid of spirituality, and covered in pits and dents.

In the midst of the life-or-death struggle within the sect, this pill furnace was no small thing. No one in the sect would have carried such a furnace around; that would have been sheer recklessness.

The members of the Long Rainbow Sect decided to destroy the pill furnace altogether, with no intention of leaving it for anyone else.

Chen Fei estimated the size of his spatial storage box. After arriving in Xianyun City, he had commissioned the creation of a new one. The wooden panels inside the box were all detachable, allowing him to combine several drawers into a larger space.

Although this pill furnace was reduced to just a shell, it could potentially be restored under the right conditions, albeit at a high cost. Even if it couldn’t be restored, it would still be better for Chen Fei’s alchemical purposes than his original furnace.

As Chen Fei was about to leave the treasure vault and find a secluded spot to stow away the pill furnace in his spatial storage, the vault’s walls suddenly shook, then burst open, and a figure rushed in.

In just a moment, others had arrived at the treasure vault.

“Wow, there’s someone here already,” remarked Bai Daoxiang. His expression shifted when he saw Chen Fei, but when he noticed the pill furnace at Chen Fei’s side, Bai Daoxiang’s eyes lit up.

Though the pill furnace had lost its spiritual essence, it could still fetch a high price if sold. “This pill furnace belongs to me now. You should go somewhere else,” Bai Daoxiang declared loudly, laughing. He paid no heed to Chen Fei’s presence and struck out with a powerful punch, having already claimed the pill furnace as his own.

The tremendous force of his punch enveloped Chen Fei from all directions. While he had ostensibly told Chen Fei to leave, there was no room for negotiation in the power of that blow.

Chen Fei swung his sword, causing the ground beneath him to tremble ever so slightly. In the air, there seemed to be a distant roar of a dragon and an elephant. The next moment, the edge of the Qianyuan Sword clashed with Bai Daoxiang’s fist.

“Boom!”

Bai Daoxiang’s initially arrogant expression froze. From his fist to his arm, there came a bone-crushing sound, and in the next instant, Bai Daoxiang was sent flying. He smashed through the walls of the treasure vault, rolled forcefully on the ground for a few turns, and only came to a stop then.

“This pill furnace is mine.”

Chen Fei retracted his Qianyuan Sword, grabbed the pill furnace, and with a swift movement, he disappeared within the treasure vault.

The most valuable item in the treasure vault was this pill furnace; everything else was relatively insignificant. Chen Fei needed to conceal the furnace first and then explore other areas. There was more to the treasures of the Long Rainbow Sect than just this furnace.

Inside the treasure vault, Bai Daoxiang grimaced as he got back on his feet, wiping away some blood from the corner of his mouth. A single sword strike had left him seriously injured. Fortunately, Chen Fei hadn’t pursued him, or else Bai Daoxiang doubted whether he would survive the encounter.

“Isn’t that person Chen Fei from the Primordial Sword Sect? How can his strength be so formidable?”

Bai Daoxiang spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm and flexed his right arm. He hadn’t obtained anything yet, and he was already injured, which irritated Bai Daoxiang. Moreover, he didn’t have the courage to go after Chen Fei; he feared for his own life.

In a disciple’s room of the Long Rainbow Sect, Chen Fei discarded a few pieces of wooden boards and placed the pill furnace inside his spatial storage.

At present, there were actually very few items inside Chen Fei’s spatial storage. The spiritual herbs had long been ingested, the spiritual materials absorbed by the Qianyuan Sword, leaving only some miscellaneous items that had just been thrown out by Chen Fei..
