The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

With a gentle swipe of his sword, Shen Yifei unleashed a black sword aura that severed the chains and hurtled straight into the black net.

This sword strike didn't seem particularly special.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling light; it was just a casual swing of the sword.

But the red-armored general's expression changed instantly!

He sensed the sword intent.

That wasn't ordinary sword intent; it was an aura that could tear the heavens and earth apart.

The black sword energy struck the black net.

"Snap!!"

With a crisp sound, the Dragon-Trapping and Demon-Locking Array Net, which was set up by dozens of demon generals, shattered like glass!

All the demon generals who had formed the formation coughed up blood, flew backward, and lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.

The red-armored general's hand gripping his longsword trembled. "What... what kind of swordsmanship is this?"

Shen Yifei chuckled and said, "What swordsmanship? This is the swordsmanship to kill you! Come on, let me show you the Thunder-Guiding Sword Technique I just learned!"

Having said that, he pointed his sword to the sky and shouted, "Lightning, come!"

In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Shen Yifei was overjoyed; he had finally gotten his hands on the Thunder-Guiding Sword Technique he had been longing for!

Although I haven't mastered the essence, I can still perform it quite well, at least much better than Ye Wuhen. It seems I'll have time to go to Wanjian Manor and spar with him, and also visit Sun Huan's aunt.

Just then, a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm descended from the sky, heading straight for the Red Armor General!

The red-armored general raised his long sword to meet the lightning bolt head-on, but was forced back three steps by the strike. Sparks flew from his armor, and his hair stood on end.

The red-armored general's entire body was numb from the blows, and it took him a while to recover. "Holy shit, what the hell was that?!"

Shen Yifei grinned, "I just learned it, so I'm not very good at it yet. Please bear with me."

It's obvious that this second-hand skill is no good. If Ye Qianqiu were to use it, even if he couldn't kill the red-armored man, he could at least cut him to a medium-rare state.

The item is too small and useless!

After saying that, he flicked his sword tip, summoning three more bolts of lightning. The red-armored general dodged left and right, but the lightning was too fast, and two of the three bolts struck him squarely.

The lightning only numb him for a short while; it didn't cause any real damage. It was just a disgusting and annoying skill.

The Red-Armored General roared in fury, "Damn it! How dare they play tricks on me! I'll chop this little bastard to pieces!"

He swept his longsword horizontally, and a black and red blade of energy rushed straight towards Shen Yifei's face.

Shen Yifei dodged to the side, then swung his sword backhand, unleashing a black sword aura to meet the attack. The two energies collided in mid-air, exploding with a "bang," the shockwave sending a swarm of demon soldiers flying.

Shen Yifei steadied himself and thought to himself: This red-armored general in front of me is at least at the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. In addition, there are tens of thousands of demon soldiers around me. It won't be easy for me to escape unscathed from this battle.

The Red-Armor General's strike also tested Shen Yifei's strength. However, having just entered the Tribulation Transcending Realm, no matter how powerful his cultivation technique was, the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him could easily crush him into mincemeat!

Thinking of this, the red-armored general felt slightly relieved. "Boy, where did you hide Ye Ling, that woman from earlier? Hand her over, and I'll let you go!"

"Let me go? Sorry, I don't want to leave yet. Come on, you ugly freak, try the second move I learned!"

After Shen Yifei finished speaking, he began to mutter incantations, thinking about Ye Qianqiu's appearance at that time, and a surge of sword intent soared into the sky.

In the sky, a mediocre vortex formed, far inferior to Ye Qianqiu's level.

Others achieve the "ten thousand swords returning to their origin" technique, while I can only manage a "thousand swords returning home" at most.

Even so, hundreds of sword shadows roared down from the sky, each carrying the power of the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and the momentum was quite intimidating.

The Red-Armored General was incredibly strong and easily dodged the attack, but his soldiers were in for a terrible time!

A single rain of swords felled a whole area!

General Red Armor could no longer tolerate it. This kid unleashed a powerful move and casually dealt a blow; his soldiers couldn't withstand the damage.

His anger flared. "Give him a shot! Whoever takes this kid's head, let that bitch Ye Ling play with him all night!"

Upon hearing this shout, the tens of thousands of demon soldiers instantly became like they had been injected with chicken blood, roaring as they charged upwards.

What are mountains of knives and seas of fire, what are the fearsome reputations of a killing god? They're all nothing compared to the temptation of "playing all night."

Shen Yifei realized that his tactic of killing one rabbit while gathering grass had been seen through.

Tens of thousands of demon soldiers charged at him. Even if Ye Ling were included, he would die here, let alone himself.

He hurriedly summoned two waves of sword rain to slow down the demon soldiers.

As he broke through to the Tribulation Transcending Realm, the image of his father swinging his sword for the second time flashed through his mind.

Rift River!

Sword after sword, relentlessly, eventually merging into a raging torrent! In this life-or-death moment, the power of this single sword strike will be crucial!

With a flick of the sword, continuous sword energy converged into towering waves that surged in all directions!

The red-armored general sensed the surging sword intent and raised his broadsword to try and block the torrent.

However, the giant waves crashed against the shore, one higher than the next.

He saw his greatsword break, his red armor be cut into pieces, and his body turn into fragments. Finally, he closed his eyes in despair.

Wherever the giant wave passed, the demon soldiers fell like harvested wheat.

The houses were reduced to fragments, the city walls were collapsing, and the entire fortress had become a ruin!

Shen Yifei, leaning on his Changtian Sword, knelt on one knee, panting heavily.

He never expected that this sword strike would exhaust all his spiritual energy, demonic energy, and even his life force.

The small vortex in his dantian spun extremely slowly, as if it might stop at any moment.

"Brother! Brother!" Xinghe cried anxiously from inside the cauldron, "How are you? Your life..."

Shen Yifei grinned, blood gushing from his mouth. "It's nothing... just a little tired..."

Before he could finish speaking, everything went black, and he fell straight forward.

Shen Yifei felt like he had a very, very long dream.

In his dream, he saw his father, Shen Changtian. His father stood atop Cangwu Mountain, dressed in white, his back to him.

"Father..." Shen Yifei called out.

Shen Changtian didn't turn around, but simply said, "Yifei, you did very well."

Then, his figure disappeared.

Shen Yifei wanted to chase after him, but it was as if something was holding his feet back, and he couldn't move at all.

"Brother! Brother, wake up!" Xinghe's voice came from afar, as if through a thick fog.

Shen Yifei tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

He felt someone lift him up from the ground and lean him against a soft body.

"This kid's life is almost over." That was Ye Ling's voice.

"Xinghe, quickly think of a way to save the young master." Why does Hongxiu, such a wild woman, always cry?

"Xinghe, what's there to be embarrassed about..." Liu Mengli said bluntly.

"I discovered that both my brother and this sister possess a similar aura. Although this aura is weak, it is... very strong... If we... cultivate together, it will revitalize our life force."

Shen Yifei heard Xinghe's explanation intermittently.
