The Clan Master Can't possibly Be A Mortal

“Thunder Chasing Technique” is a powerful auxiliary cultivation method that grants the City Lord the power of thunder, enabling him to obliterate enemies of the same rank with ease.

As long as the City Lord broke through to the fifth layer of the Element Gathering Realm, he would be a match for those at the sixth or even the seventh layer and need not fear evil beasts.

“What? That guy is about to break through!” Souhun Zhenren observed the thunder in the sky, fear flashing in his eyes, thinking to himself that he seemed to have chosen the wrong day to step out. He was already considering retreating.

The evil beast, fixated on the thunderstorm above, grew even more enraged. It leaped up in an attempt to shatter the thundercloud.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning struck the beast, causing it to smoke all over and smash heavily onto the street, destroying the surrounding buildings.

“Run!”

Those who were just watching the show were scared out of their wits and fled in all directions, wishing they had grown an extra pair of legs.

“Such powerful lightning, even the evil beast couldn’t withstand it. It seems I must find the right moment to slip away.” Souhun Zhenren watched the storm clouds, a trace of fear in his heart as he contemplated an escape route.

Atop the high tower.

Ye Feng looked at the dark clouds and muttered, “It looks like I won’t need to make a move after all.”

However, as soon as he spoke, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly exploded, turning into countless clouds of smoke that shot into the sky. Following that, everyone in the city heard a painful, muffled groan.

In the next moment, an aged figure shot up from behind the City Lord’s Mansion and crashed heavily at the foot of the tower where Ye Feng was, revealing an old man with white hair, a bloody corner of his mouth, and his body convulsing.

“Did the City Lord fail in his breakthrough?”

Ye Feng stared at the City Lord lying on the ground, speechless.

At this moment, the City Lord trembled violently, with the area of his Qi Sea shattered, clearly indicating a failure in his breakthrough, and his cultivation level was even ruined.

“The City Lord failed his breakthrough, it’s over!”

The cultivators of Whitefloat City were heartbroken.

Souhun Zhenren’s eyes widened, and once he confirmed that the City Lord’s cultivation was indeed ruined, he felt a joy fall from the sky and let out a sinister “kekeke” laugh.

At this time, the body of the evil beast swelled to thirty meters tall, releasing an aura as strong as that of the fourth layer of the Element Gathering Realm, and furiously pounced toward the City Lord below the tower.

“City Lord!”

People shouted out, as if they had foreseen the tragic scene of the City Lord being crushed by the beast’s claw, their hearts filled with pain.

Whoosh!

A gust of wind swept through, sending the evil beast flying away and crashing into several buildings before being buried under the rubble.

As everyone looked intently, they realized that a handsome young man holding a Mini Banana Palm Fan was standing by the City Lord’s side.

“Ye… Sect Master Ye?”

Everyone stared at the young man, eyes widening in shock.

Especially the Deputy City Lord, Lu Shanyue, and his group, who wore faces of disbelief.

“Am I seeing things? The evil beast that not even five Element Gathering Realm experts could beat was sent flying by Sect Master Ye?”

“Terrifying indeed!”

People gasped in astonishment.

Souhun Zhenren stared at Ye Feng, grinding his teeth. “Impossible! That kid is at most at the first layer of the Element Gathering Realm level. How could he send the evil beast flying?”

Crack!

The evil beast broke through the rubble and returned even more ferocious.

However, everyone found that it had shrunk to five meters tall, and its aura had reduced several times over, only possessing the strength of the second layer of the Element Gathering Realm.

“Has the evil beast actually weakened?” Everyone but Ye Feng was dumbfounded.

Ye Feng stood calmly, glancing at the Mini Banana Palm Fan and thinking to himself that it indeed was a device capable of ‘downgrading’ even the most talented or elaborate spells.

“Roar!”

Enraged, the beast’s body continued to expand, quickly growing to thirty meters tall and still swelling to fifty meters. Its aura finally reached the level of the fifth layer of the Element Gathering Realm.

This was the evil beast’s current limit!

“Sect Master Ye, be careful!”

The leaders of the major forces cried out in concern.

Souhun Zhenren was first stunned and then sneered. “The evil beast has reached its strongest state. Ye Feng, that kid, is surely doomed!”

However, as Ye Feng waved the Mini Banana Palm Fan, a gust of wind rolled out, causing the evil beast’s body to rapidly shrink back to five meters tall.

Bang!

Ye Feng leaped powerfully, striking while the evil beast was at its weakest and smashing it to pieces, almost killing it on the spot.

To eliminate the evil beast, Ye Feng didn’t stop. Right hand constantly fanning with the Mini Banana Palm Fan to keep the beast subdued, preventing it from recovering from its injuries and swelling in rage, and his left fist pummeling repeatedly.

Finally, under the gaze of all the shocked onlookers, Ye Feng blew the evil beast into a cloud of whisping black mist that dispersed in the wind.

Step!

Ye Feng landed from mid-air and stood beside the City Lord again, his left hand behind his back and his right hand holding the Mini Banana Palm Fan, gently waving, his hair flowing lightly.

“This!”

Everyone looked on, completely speechless.

“Sect Master is so powerful!”

At that moment, the disciples of the Misty Sect finally arrived, just in time to witness Ye Feng punch the evil beast into oblivion, and they cheered in excitement.

The City Lord lay on the ground, looking at the distinguished and extraordinary Ye Feng, a glint of light passing through his turbid eyes.

He didn’t know who Ye Feng was, but he knew that Ye Feng had saved him and the entire Whitefloat City.

“Damn it, Ye Feng actually killed the evil beast… I see now, it must be the fan in his hand that’s strange. Once I sneak up and snatch that precious fan, I can conveniently cut him to death!”

Souhun Zhenren, so angry he scratched his head and cheeks, formed a hand seal and turned into a wisp of black smoke, creeping towards Ye Feng through the shadows on the ground.

“City Lord, how are you?” At this moment, the Deputy City Lord and others arrived at the base of the tower, helped up the City Lord, and asked with concern.

“I failed the breakthrough, was hit by the backlash from “Thunder Sprint Art”, my Qi Sea has shattered. Unless I can repair the Qi Sea, this is as good as life gets for me.” Desolation spread across the aged face of the old City Lord.

“Sigh!”

Everyone sighed.

Even though the City Lord was once a strong practitioner of the Element Gathering Realm Fourth Layer with a body tempered by True Yuan, strong enough to crush any Qi Refining Realm cultivator even without his cultivation level, his lifespan had now plummeted and he had suffered a grave injury, he wouldn’t live much longer.

From then on, the pillar of Whitefloat City was broken!

Thinking of this, the Deputy City Lord and a few other Element Gathering Realm experts all bowed their heads, deeply saddened.

Ye Feng stood to the side, about to speak, when he suddenly sensed a heart-palpitating aura approaching from behind and quickly turned around to throw a punch.

Boom!

Ye Feng was blown away by a cloud of dark chi, suspended mid-air, staring at the spot where he had just stood, his gaze sharpening.

“He actually dodged it!” Souhun Zhenren appeared in his true form, his brows filled with disbelief.

“It’s Souhun Zhenren!” The Deputy City Lord and the others’ faces turned pale, they quickly released their pressuring aura, ready to fight to the death.

Only to see Souhun Zhenren staring at Ye Feng who was hanging in the air, cursing, “Ye Feng! First, you killed my Tiger General and dozens of High-rank Demon Soldier Level Demon Beasts, and now the evil beast. You have repeatedly foiled my good deeds. Today, I must cut you down no matter what!”

As he spoke, the whole city trembled.

“Ye Feng… killed the Tiger General?”

“No wonder the beasts of the Fuyun Gloomy Forest suddenly fell silent; it’s not because they were lying low to cause more trouble but because they were cut down!”

The five Element Gathering Realm experts looked at each other and finally realized the truth. They were deeply shocked and at the same time marveled at Ye Feng’s discretion; he had quietly slain the Tiger General and dozens of High-rank Demon Soldier Level Demon Beasts, securing the first place in the Demon Slaying Conference in advance.

Ye Feng paid no mind to everyone’s astonishment, instead, he knitted his brows and stared coldly at Souhun Zhenren, saying, “You struck first, so it’s your own doing that you died.”

“Shut up! I will kill you first!”

Souhun Zhenren took out a pair of middle-rank Spiritual Artifact level black scissors, enlarged them to over a dozen meters long, and snipped towards Ye Feng.

“That’s Souhun Zhenren’s life-bound Spiritual Artifact, the ‘Soul-severing Scissors’. If you’re wounded by it, even your soul will suffer a corresponding injury!” The old City Lord hastily warned.

Ye Feng’s heart tightened and he quickly fanned out a gust of wind.

“Feeble tricks!” Souhun Zhenren sneered, his Soul-severing Scissors cutting through the strong wind and continued snipping at Ye Feng.

“Almost forgot, Soul-severing Scissors is a Spiritual Artifact, not a spell. The Banana Fan’s spell-breaking feature is ineffective; it can only be used as a storm for defense.” Ye Feng swiftly retreated.

“Hahaha, your precious fan is indeed no match for the Soul-severing Scissors, die!” Souhun Zhenren stood atop the gigantic Soul-severing Scissors, controlling it to continuously attack Ye Feng.

The crowd on the ground watched with bated breath, horrified.

The battle between Ye Feng and Souhun Zhenren was too fearsome; with the crowd’s strength, they were completely unqualified to intervene.

“Ye Feng, die!” Souhun Zhenren’s expression gradually turned maniacal. In his view, as long as he cut down Ye Feng, wouldn’t Whitefloat City still be within easy reach?

Boom!

Ye Feng suddenly landed on the ground, sprung up with all his might, and arrived hundreds of meters in the sky in an instant. Souhun Zhenren snorted coldly and gave chase.

“Took the bait!”

Ye Feng in the high skies held his breath, repeatedly fanning the Mini Banana Palm Fan, once, twice… nineteen times, twenty times!

All the strong winds overlapped into a tornadic cyclone, carrying terrifying momentum, grinding towards Souhun Zhenren who had just reached mid-air.

“This move is useless against me!”

Souhun Zhenren chuckled, harnessing the power of a Element Gathering Realm Fourth Layer cultivation and the augmentation of a spell, wielding strength comparable to a Element Gathering Realm Sixth Layer, he sliced the cyclone in two.

But as the storm subsided, Souhun Zhenren discovered that Ye Feng had vanished from his sight. He quickly turned around, only to see Ye Feng suspended in mid-air, left hand holding a sword sheath, right hand in a reverse grip on the sword, his aura completely dissipated at that moment, as if he had blended into the air itself.

“Sword Drawing Technique?”

Souhun Zhenren chuckled. Ye Feng’s foundation was only at the level of Element Gathering Realm two or three at most. No matter how well he performed the sword technique, it would still…

Before Souhun Zhenren’s smile had fully blossomed, Ye Feng had already drawn his sword.

Light!

Pure, unblemished white!

An endless dazzle!

Emanating from an ordinary-looking iron sword, it lit up the sky, even more blinding than the sun overhead.

Not good!

Souhun Zhenren realized the danger, but the sword qi that slashed towards him was too fast; he had no time to dodge and could only defend with the Soul-severing Scissors.

Whiz!

The blinding sword qi swept across the sky.

In front of everyone’s amazed eyes, the Soul-severing Scissors and Souhun Zhenren were split in two, then exploded into nothingness.

After a short while, a several hundred meter tall hill outside the city was struck by the sword qi and detonated, heavy boulders weighing millions of pounds shattered and fell like a meteor shower raining down around them.

“How… how terrifying!”

Everyone petrified on the spot.

Outside Whitefloat City, Huo Yunjie stood dumbfounded on the Cold Light Sword, his mind replaying the scene of Ye Feng drawing his sword to eradicate Souhun Zhenren.

“Sword… Sword Drawing Technique!”

Huo Yunjie held his breath, feeling a dryness in his throat, “And moreover, this is the Sword Drawing Technique perfected to the utmost level, unrivaled in power… It turns out, Sect Master Ye already knew it, I just didn’t realize…”
