Chapter 1947 1948: Deadly Traps Everywhere
After the sword spun in the air, it flew directly toward the Cloud Mist Hermit.
A glow emitted from the Cloud Mist Hermit's body, and his palm, like a blade, chopped toward the airborne sword.
A surge of Northern Spiritual Energy appeared on his hand knife, colliding with the sword without any hint of fear.
The speed of these two people was incredible; during close combat, their Techniques concealed their Northern Spiritual Energy, yet killing intent was present everywhere.
This was the first time Ling Zhenfei had witnessed such a spectacular battle; the two exchanged over a dozen moves in no time, but neither could overcome the other.
However, the Cloud Mist Hermit still hadn't used his Heart-pursuing Item; Ye Wulong's Heart-pursuing Item was the sword in his hand. Undoubtedly, the Heart-pursuing Item is something cultivators rely heavily on.
Even without using his Heart-pursuing Item, the Cloud Mist Hermit was evenly matched with Ye Wulong, which showed how formidable the Cloud Mist Hermit was.
But the Cloud Mist Hermit now didn't have any real way to deal with Ye Wulong; it's not easy to eliminate Ye Wulong.
Ye Wulong said with a smile to the Cloud Mist Hermit, "I thought the Cloud Mist Hermit, renowned the world over, had great prowess, but it turns out it's just like this."
The Cloud Mist Hermit laughed, "I wanted to see your Li Hen Palace's Cultivation Technique, but it seems your Li Hen Palace's Cultivation Technique is not impressive at all."
Ye Wulong snorted and said, "When I unleash the Li Hen Palace Cultivation Technique, that's when you'll die."
The Cloud Mist Hermit said, "What arrogant words, use it now. If you don't, you won't be able to leave."
Ye Wulong said, "You say I can't leave, and I can't? That would be too embarrassing."
The Cloud Mist Hermit said, "Since you don't want to use it, let me help you with that."
After saying this, a ring suddenly appeared in the Cloud Mist Hermit's hand. The ring wasn't big, shiny, and no one knew what it was made of.
But from a distance, it glowed white. Before Ling Zhenfei could make out what it was, the Cloud Mist Hermit suddenly threw it into the sky.
The object spun twice in the air, then flew toward Ye Wulong.
This thing is naturally the Cloud Mist Hermit's Heart-pursuing Item. No one knew what material it was made from, but it flew toward Ye Wulong at a very high speed.
Ye Wulong naturally understood the power of a Heart-pursuing Item. The sword in his hand flew toward the ring.
The ring rotated as it flew; although the sword slashed at it, it gained no advantage whatsoever and couldn't stop the ring's attack.
Ye Wulong's face showed a hint of surprise. The sword flew back in front of him. He grabbed the sword and slashed at the ring again.
Clang!
The sword struck the ring, emitting a crisp sound. However, the ring was only slightly halted, rotating once more in the air before flying toward Ye Wulong again.
Ye Wulong could only continue swinging his sword to chop at the ring, but his sword couldn't push the ring back at all.
The ring circled around Ye Wulong, causing him to break out in a sweat in no time.
Evidently, the ring's prowess was beyond expectation, consuming Ye Wulong considerably.
Blocking the ring's attack, Ye Wulong shouted angrily toward the Cloud Mist Hermit: "You wretched Cloud Mist Hermit, it seems I must show you my true power."
The Cloud Mist Hermit laughed and said, "If you have the ability, come and try. I've been waiting."
Ye Wulong's expression turned grim. He held the sword in one hand to block the ring, while a trail of black smoke appeared in the other. He placed that hand on top of his head.
In an instant, a shadow separated from Ye Wulong's body and rushed toward the Cloud Mist Hermit.
This shadow, although separated from the Cloud Mist Hermit, was fierce and fast. It approached the Cloud Mist Hermit in a heartbeat.
The shadow seemed formless, just a cluster of black smoke, rushing toward the Cloud Mist Hermit as if intending to envelope him.
Ling Zhenfei was astonished, dazed at the sight. Ye Wulong was unmistakably wielding a sword against the ring, yet another shadow emerged.
Ling Zhenfei guessed the shadow was akin to a Soul Attack.
Except his own Soul Attack was invisible, attacking the Sea of Souls; but in Ye Wulong's Cultivation Technique, this black smoke looked like mist, yet it was a physical assault.
Ling Zhenfei felt a bit bewildered; he didn't know how to defend against it. It appeared intangible, but would strike with physicality. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Ling Zhenfei didn't know how to block the attack. However, it was different for the Cloud Mist Hermit, who flashed aside suddenly, dodging the black smoke.
The smoke pursued the Cloud Mist Hermit but had slowed down.
At this moment, a glow emanated from the Cloud Mist Hermit's body, as if manifesting Northern Spiritual Energy before him, forming a protective space.
Clearly, the Cloud Mist Hermit understood the black smoke well, knowing it was toxic and must be kept at a distance.
However, this black smoke had already surrounded the Cloud Mist Hermit. It was then that Rain Mist Mountain Man's hand knife was unleashed.
Both hands became like swords, their Northern Spiritual Energy intimidatingly high, striking the black mist.
Boom!
A powerful surge of Northern Spiritual Energy struck, sending the black smoke back swiftly.
The overwhelming black smoke diminished significantly, becoming a wisp of black mist, rushing back toward Ye Wulong.
The Cloud Mist Hermit shouted, "Trying to escape, are you? Too late!"
After that, he flashed forward, caught up with the black smoke, and struck it again.
Bang!
A palm landed on the black smoke, which was struck heavily by the Rain Mist Mountain Man, retreating back into Ye Wulong's body.
Ye Wulong spewed blood, angrily shouting, "Shameless scoundrel, you tricked me!"
The Cloud Mist Hermit said, "Indeed a heretical demon; it seems there's a problem with the Palace Master of your Li Hen Palace."
Ye Wulong said, "You're the real heretic, using such despicable tricks against me. I won't let you at Wuliang Mountain have it easy."
Then he pulled out something and put it in his mouth, and before long, Ye Wulong transformed into a plume of black smoke, flying toward the exit.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked because he'd seen this escape technique before; back in Moergawa, that's how the assassin fled. Such a method was indeed hard to defend against.
However, the Rain Mist Mountain Man was not going to let him escape easily. He threw that ring in his hand toward the black smoke.
Perhaps due to its shape, the ring moved incredibly fast, racing toward the black smoke and striking it instantly.
