Hearing the sounds of battle outside, Su Ran could no longer sit idly inside the house. Without hesitation, she stepped out.
“Big Brother…”
Seeing Chen Yang single-handedly fighting against seven ninth-grade Grand Spirit Masters—one of whom was a half-step True Spirit Master—Su Ran couldn’t help but worry for him. If Chen Yang were to die here because of her, how could she ever face Chen Fei again?
For a moment, Su Ran felt both touched and guilty.
Back then, she had married Chen Fei as a live-in son-in-law to prevent Ye Bufan’s marriage proposal. However, since Chen Fei joined her household, he had brought her nothing but surprises and gratitude.
Lu Yijun was also shocked. He had initially assumed that Ye Chenye wouldn’t dare to kill Chen Fei outright—at most, he would capture him and take Su Ran away.
But once the battle truly began, Lu Yijun realized the terrifying truth: Ye Chenye, the elites from the City Lord’s Mansion, and even Su Xiangwu from the Su family were all attacking with lethal intent. There was no mercy—this was a true life-and-death struggle.
“Ye Chenye, if you dare kill my junior, I swear I will erase your City Lord’s Mansion from existence tomorrow!” Lu Yijun declared. He didn’t care about Su Ran’s life, but he would never allow Chen Yang to be harmed. After all, he still needed Chen Yang’s help to break into the True Spirit Master realm in the future secret realm.
Ye Chenye ignored him. Even if he killed Chen Yang, he could simply replace him in aiding Lu Yijun to enter the secret realm. He didn’t believe the Silver Moon Academy would truly turn against him over this.
And even if they did, as long as his third brother succeeded in his cultivation breakthrough, what could the Silver Moon Academy possibly do to him?
As the strongest known combatant of Huangwu City, Ye Chenye was not only a half-step True Spirit Master but had also opened his Spiritual Sea. However, since he had passed the optimal age for this, the starlight in his Spiritual Sea was scarce, meaning his potential as a Spell Spirit Master was extremely limited.
Even so, by leveraging the mental power from his Spiritual Sea, he could greatly enhance the lethality of his martial techniques.
“Overlord Slash!”
Ye Chenye roared as he swung his longsword, producing a sonic boom. Like a raging rhinoceros, he charged straight toward Chen Fei.
Boom!
Ye Chenye’s sword struck Chen Fei’s shoulder with immense force, causing a blinding explosion of light.
At the same time, Su Xiangwu and the ninth-grade Grand Spirit Masters from the Su family also rushed forward.
Their weapons slammed into Chen Fei’s back and chest simultaneously!
Strike while the enemy is weak—take his life!
Three heavy blows landed on Chen Fei almost simultaneously.
The Su family members smirked in satisfaction.
“He’s dead!”
“Chen Yang is done for! Hahaha!”
“That arrogant bastard actually thought he was invincible!”
“That little dog thought suppressing the Qin family made him untouchable—what a joke! Hahaha!”
They had already begun celebrating.
However, as the light faded—
Chen Yang stood there, unharmed.
Although he was besieged from all sides, his Spirit Eye Serpent’s keen perception allowed him to clearly sense the entire battlefield.
With the Ironclaw Rock Eagle’s reinforced physique, the Silver Dragon’s transformation talent, and the fivefold spirit power amplification effect of his Thousand Phantom Slash, his entire body radiated an intense protective glow. No matter how fiercely the ninth-grade Grand Spirit Masters struck him, they couldn’t even scratch his defensive shield.
“A half-step True Spirit Master?!”
“Even if he is, his Spirit Armor shouldn’t be this powerful! My full-strength sword strike didn’t even leave a mark?!”
Shock rippled through the ranks of the Su family and the City Lord’s Mansion. They were horrified by the sheer power Chen Yang displayed.
Chen Fei, however, was focused solely on one thing—defeating or even crippling Ye Chenye.
Only by crushing Ye Chenye could he force the City Lord’s Mansion to back down. Only then would the mysterious Thousand-Stage Spell Spirit Master hiding in the shadows hesitate to make a move, buying more time for himself and Su Ran.
For this reason, Chen Fei held nothing back.
Though he dared not openly reveal his Spell Spirit Master abilities, he subtly used his mental power to make his martial techniques even more precise and deadly.
Lu Yijun was equally astounded.
At last, he understood why Sun Qianyi had such high praise for Chen Yang. He also realized why Sun Qianyi insisted on recruiting Chen Yang into Silver Moon Academy.
“Junior Brother Chen Yang’s talent far surpasses mine!”
“I must not let anything happen to him. If he survives, he could become a top-tier True Spirit Master for our academy—perhaps even reach the legendary ‘Ancestral Land.'”
Blood boiling with excitement, Lu Yijun immediately crushed his emergency signal flare, summoning Vice Dean Sun Qianyi to the scene to ensure Chen Yang’s safety.
Boom!
A resounding impact echoed as Ye Chenye was blasted backward by Chen Fei’s Silver Moon Sword Qi.
His chest churned with chaotic energy. In a head-on clash, he—an experienced warrior—had lost to this young upstart.
“How can his strength be this monstrous?!”
For the first time, Ye Chenye truly grasped why the Lin family’s ancestor had refused to surrender control over the Black Copper Mine and had instead chosen all-out war against Chen Yang.
“This kid’s potential is terrifying. If he isn’t eliminated now, he will become a major threat to my Ye family.”
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Ye Chenye’s resolve to kill Chen Yang only grew stronger.
“Chen Yang, you still have a chance to leave now,” Ye Chenye said coldly, blood staining the corner of his mouth. “Otherwise, not even the Silver Moon Academy will be able to protect you.”
“Save your breath,” Chen Fei sneered. “With your mediocre skills, you’re in no position to threaten me. If you have any real backing, bring out the Spell Spirit Master hiding behind you. I’d love to see how capable he truly is.”
“Who are you, really?” Ye Chenye frowned. He had tried multiple channels to investigate Chen Yang and Chen Fei, but every attempt had failed. It was as if they had appeared out of thin air in Huangwu City.
He refused to believe that. If they couldn’t be traced within the Great Qing Kingdom, then perhaps they came from Zhou Country or Lu Country.
This uncertainty had made the City Lord’s Mansion wary of openly antagonizing Chen Yang.
But now, with the battle at this point, they had no choice but to go all in.
“You want to know my origins?” Chen Fei smirked. “Tell your Spell Spirit Master to come meet me in person—maybe then he’ll figure it out.”
No one could track Chen Fei’s background because he was a transmigrator. However, the Chen family behind Ling Zhong could indeed be traced, just not within the Great Qing Kingdom.
By implying he had powerful backing, Chen Fei hoped to intimidate the hidden Spell Spirit Master and make him hesitate.
“Hmph!”
“Once I capture you, your true identity will be revealed soon enough.”
Ye Chenye’s expression darkened. He was ready to go all out.
Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed as Ye Chenye pulled out a jade bottle from his robes.
Indeed, even a half-step True Spirit Master would have secret techniques or elixirs to temporarily boost their strength.
If a ninth-grade Grand Spirit Master could use the Sky-Turning Pill to reach half-step True Spirit Master level, then—
Could a half-step True Spirit Master take a special pill to temporarily attain True Spirit Master power?
