Mortal: Reborn in Yellow Maple Valley, Awakening the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts

Looking at the impregnable golden tortoise shell before him, Chu Zifei couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

How could he not know Feng Yue's tricks? The other party seemed to be furious and impulsive, lacking in cunning, but it was all just a facade. Feng Yue deliberately hid inside the barrier to exhaust his own strength. Because he could only rely on the barrier for protection, he dared not leave rashly; otherwise, if he accidentally exposed his back while escaping, he would surely be attacked.

"Is this the only way we can remain deadlocked?"

As he watched the golden light swirling on the tortoise shell, Chu Zifei suddenly had a flash of inspiration. This golden barrier protecting Feng Yue was not a barrier generated by the magic artifact, but a magic barrier purely driven by spiritual power! A glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly retreated several feet, creating a suitable attack distance.

Feng Yue took in the whole scene. Although he didn't know what his opponent was planning, he was confident that his defenses were secure, so he didn't interfere. He simply remained still and waited to see what kind of trouble they could cause.

After regaining his footing, Chu Zifei flipped his wrist and took out the serpent slingshot and dozens of golden bullets, aiming at the protective barrier of the yellow umbrella.

"I'd like to see if this magic-breaking golden bullet can penetrate your protective shell!"

Feng Yue caught a glimpse of the crude slingshot from afar and immediately sneered, "He's still a country bumpkin, even after becoming a cultivator, he's still poor! He doesn't even have a decent magic weapon."

He raised an even more mocking tone and said, "What? You pulled out that slingshot to shoot birds? My birds aren't going to get hurt by your little pellets!"

Faced with the mockery, Chu Zifei remained silent, released the slingshot string, and a magic-breaking golden bullet transformed into a streak of golden light and shot out rapidly, hitting the barrier.

"Bang!"

The golden bullet exploded with a deafening roar, and the power of this strike was far more intense than the tremors caused by the previous punches.

"There's hope!"

Seeing the barrier's reaction, Chu Zifei knew that the spell-breaking runes on the golden bullets had worked. He no longer held back, flicking his wrist repeatedly, and one spell-breaking golden bullet after another shot out as if they were free.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The explosions continued.

The barrier trembled incessantly, and the surrounding golden light quickly dimmed.

The power of the golden bullet shattered Feng Yue's composure, causing his expression to change drastically. Taking advantage of the force of the exploding bullet, he subconsciously retreated slowly, hoping to find an opportunity to escape.

Chu Zifei's movements became increasingly rapid, and the frequency of his slingshot shots increased. Golden streams of light rained down from the sky, continuously striking the barrier.

After the last magic-breaking golden bullet was fired, the originally incredibly tough golden barrier finally cracked open with a tiny fissure.

  

Chu Zifei had no choice but to slow down his offensive and take out the magic-breaking golden bullet again to press his advantage.

Upon seeing this, Feng Yue, who was inside the barrier, was overjoyed. He immediately put away the yellow umbrella, removed the protection, and gathered his strength, preparing to disappear again using his strange movement technique.

A mocking smile appeared on Chu Zifei's lips: "This is the moment I've been waiting for!"

He flicked his wrist, and a swift silver streak shot out, striking Feng Yue precisely.

However, this attack did not cause any real damage to Feng Yue. He turned around and laughed wildly at Chu Zifei:

"Hahaha, out of energy? That's barely enough strength to tickle me!"

However, the next moment, his arrogant smile froze on his face.

He discovered that he was bound by an invisible force. His body felt as if it were mired in mud, incredibly heavy, and the strange movement technique he relied on to save his life had completely failed.

Chu Zifei fired a slowing silver bullet to restrict his unpredictable movements.

Clearly, the silver bullet had an immediate effect. Chu Zifei unleashed spiritual energy from his feet, his figure moving like lightning, closing the distance abruptly. In an instant, he flashed in front of Feng Yue, raised his hand, and threw a punch with a sharp gust of wind, slamming it hard into Feng Yue's face.

A muffled thud!

Feng Yue's right cheek instantly collapsed and deformed, his head tilted to the left, and before he could react, another punch slammed into his left cheek, knocking his head back to the right.

In just a few breaths, Feng Yue's face swelled up, turning into a huge pig's head.

"How dare you slap me in the face!"

Feng Yue's speech was already slurred, and saliva mixed with blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth, making him look extremely disheveled.

Chu Zifei ignored this and used both fists to pound his head back and forth.

During this time, Feng Yue endured the excruciating pain and tried to fight back, but under the effect of the slowing silver bullet, his movements seemed to be slowed down tenfold, and every struggle was easily neutralized by Chu Zifei.

Even with his face swollen and his mouth dripping with blood, Feng Yue still refused to beg for mercy. His bloodshot eyes were filled with boundless hatred as he stared intently at Chu Zifei in front of him.

Looking into his relentless gaze, Chu Zifei asked coldly, "We're under your roof, why don't you beg for mercy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gathered his strength in his right hand and threw a powerful punch.

"Bang!"

Feng Yue's head exploded instantly, and he fell straight backward, his red and white blood spilling all over the ground in a shocking sight.

"Even if you beg for mercy, you will surely die today. After all, if you don't nip the weeds in the bud, they'll grow back in the spring!"

Chu Zifei raised his hand and calmly wiped the blood splattered on his face. Looking down at Feng Yue's corpse, he murmured to himself, "But how will you know if there's any chance of survival if you don't try? Although those eyes of yours are truly repulsive!"

If the dead Feng Yue could still speak, he would surely be furious, pointing at Chu Zifei's nose and cursing loudly, "You punched my mouth out of shape right away. Even if I wanted to beg for mercy, I wouldn't be able to say a word!"

With the pent-up killing intent in his heart released, Chu Zifei's state of mind gradually calmed down. The frustration of being stabbed unexpectedly after the previous battle was swept away at this moment.

However, now that the battle is over and Feng Yue is dead, it's time to take stock of the spoils. A hint of anticipation flashed in Chu Zifei's eyes. He was very curious about Feng Yue's storage bag. According to his memories from his previous life, Feng Yue was killed by a bolt of lightning. Han Li only got a pair of shoes; all his other treasures were destroyed in the explosion.

Thinking of this, Chu Zifei carefully searched the corpse, and after a moment, he steadily took a brown storage bag into his hand.

He probed inside with his divine sense, and after taking stock of his gains, he could no longer contain his joy. He immediately laughed loudly, for the contents of the storage bag were far more than he had expected.

The bag was filled with various spiritual herbs and stones, as well as several impressive-looking magical artifacts that glowed with a faint light.

Chu Zifei scanned the area with his divine sense and instantly knew the number of spiritual herbs and spirit stones. The spiritual herbs were three kinds: Jade Marrow Fungus, Purple Monkey Flower, and Heavenly Spirit Fruit, all of which were the main ingredients for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, and there were more than ten of them in total. It seemed that Feng Yue had killed and plundered these spiritual herbs, which in the end benefited him instead.
