Qiu Changtai’s footsteps suddenly halted, and he turned to look at Chen Fei, his expression becoming grave.

At the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm, the aura emanating from Chen Fei at this moment was as complete as it could be, with all 108 acupoints connected. This was the only way to possess such an aura.

How could the Primordial Sword Sect have a martial artist at the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm?

Before this, Qiu Changtai had ordered people to investigate both the Primordial Sword Sect and the Sunken Water Pavilion. The information he had gathered indicated that these two sects were the strongest, but only in the advanced Aperture Tempering realm. Even within that late stage, they were not considered particularly formidable.

Because of this, Qiu Changtai had brought only Lou Sanfeng with him, approaching the Primordial Water Island with an almost casual attitude, as if going for a leisurely outing. With his power, he could easily suppress both sects without any unexpected incidents.

However, the person who had suddenly appeared before him, who was he?

“Chen Fei!”

Upon seeing Chen Fei’s sudden appearance, Qu Qingsheng’s face was filled with anxiety. However, this anxious expression quickly froze, because Chen Fei’s current aura was too obvious.

It was the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm, Chen Fei had broken through to the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm?

Hadn’t they still not recovered the Primordial Sword Body? How did Chen Fei break through to the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm? And wasn’t it just one year since Chen Fei had broken through to the advanced Aperture Tempering realm?

in one year, from entering the advanced Aperture Tempering realm to now having all 108 acupoints fully connected, this speed of cultivation seemed a bit too exaggerated.

Qu Qingsheng’s mind was spinning, and not only him, but all the elders of the Primordial Sword Sect were somewhat at a loss due to Chen Fei’s aura.

The Primordial Sword Sect was no exception, and neither was the Sunken

Water Pavilion nearby.

Because Chen Fei’s appearance had caused quite a commotion, he had now become the center of attention.

Chen Fei nodded to many of the elders of the Primordial Sword Sect, then bent down to examine Qu Qingsheng’s injuries. They were severe, but fortunately, most of the power had been absorbed by the Soul-Locking Tower, so it wasn’t life-threatening.

“Are you also a member of the Primordial Sword Sect?” Qiu Changtai looked at

Chen Fei and spoke in a deep voice.

Chen Fei didn’t reply, and he didn’t even spare a glance at Qiu Changtai.

Instead, he approached Zhou Zixun.

Compared to Qu Qingsheng, Zhou Zixun’s injuries were much more severe, and because Zhou Zixun’s lifespan was limited to begin with, his injuries were deteriorating rapidly.

Chen Fei quickly took out a bottle of elixir from his sleeve and poured it into Zhou Zixun’s mouth. It was the same healing elixir he had obtained at the

Sword Return Tower.

The effect of this elixir was truly extraordinary. As the elixir entered Zhou Zixun’s body, his aura immediately stabilized to some extent. It was no wonder that he had sacrificed so much to obtain this elixir back at the Sword Return

Tower.

Feng Xiupu was standing next to Zhou Zixun at this moment, casting a glance at Qiu Changtai in the distance and then at Chen Fei. His eyes revealed a hint of concern.

Feng Xiupu had naturally sensed Chen Fei’s aura at the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm at this moment.

In his heart, he was proud and pleased that Chen Fei had broken through to the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm. However, at the same time, he still had concerns. These concerns naturally stemmed from Qiu Changtai.

Although both were at the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm, it was clear that Chen Fei had just entered this stage. Whether he could compete with Qiu Changtai was still an unknown factor.

However, judging from Chen Fei’s cold and unresponsive attitude towards Qiu Changtai, it was evident that he had no intention of letting Qiu Changtai leave this place.

If possible, Feng Xiupu naturally hoped to keep Qiu Changtai and Lou Sanfeng here. After all, they had brutally injured three people in succession without any restraint, which could be seen as a flagrant violation of their territory.

But the safer course of action for now might be to temporarily halt this situation, allowing Chen Fei to fully adapt to the power of the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm before making the next move.

Although this approach might seem timid, sometimes it was the most prudent

one.

However, Feng Xiupu didn’t voice his thoughts. He no longer had the authority to make decisions; the real decision-making power lay in Chen Fei’s hands.

■Isn’t your attitude a bit too disrespectful?” Qiu Changtai, seeing that Chen Fei hadn’t responded to his words, adopted a colder tone. Both of them were at the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm, and when one questions you, not even a response? This was provocation!

■Have you thought about how you’ll die later?” Chen Fei stood up, glanced at Qiu Changtai, and then went to stand in front of Ji Ruiqing. The members of the Sunken Water Pavilion made way for him, and Chen Fei also noticed Ji

Ruiqing’s pitiful state.

Her entire body seemed to have been tortured, her injuries deliberately inflicted. This kind of injury was undoubtedly intentional. When Ji Ruiqing saw Chen Fei, her eyes turned bloodshot.

“How arrogant!” Lou Sanfeng heard what Chen Fei said to Qiu Changtai and immediately roared in anger. Both were practitioners with 108 fully opened acupoints, both at the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm, and they dared to exchange such words.

“You must have recently broken through to the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm, haven’t you? Do you know that even among those at the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm, there are still significant differences?” Qiu Changtai, upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, laughed in anger. Chen Fei’s current aura was still somewhat delicate, and there were differences in their auras compared to someone like him who had reached the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm after many years of cultivation.

To dare to speak arrogantly of causing his death right after breaking through? How laughable!

It was as if he were an ignorant frog at the bottom of a well!

Chen Fei stood up without responding to Qiu Changtai’s words and turned his gaze towards Lou Sanfeng.

“They were all injured by you, right?” Chen Fei’s voice sounded somewhat deep, devoid of emotion. But Lou Sanfeng suddenly felt a terrifying pressure enveloping him, and her face changed.

“What if they were!” Lou Sanfeng looked at Chen Fei and laughed sharply. Her husband had broken through to the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm after many years, and Lou Sanfeng wasn’t afraid of Chen Fei’s gaze. At most, achieving today’s goal might be a bit challenging.

“As long as you admit it!” Chen Fei’s voice fell, and he appeared in front of Lou Sanfeng, grabbing for her throat.

“Insolence!” Qiu Changtai shouted angrily. He had not expected that the other party would be so bold as to lay hands on Lou Sanfeng in his presence.

Qiu Changtai, like a phantom, appeared beside Chen Fei, slashing towards his head with a blade. It seemed that Qiu Changtai wanted to see how the opponent would react to his attack on his wife, Lou Sanfeng, under his assault.

Lou Sanfeng had initially been pale from being overwhelmed by Chen Fei’s aura. However, when she saw Qiu Changtai taking action, her confidence surged back. The Suspended Water Technique within her body reversed once again, and she thrust her dagger towards Chen Fei’s eyeball.

Lou Sanfeng wanted to see how Chen Fei, a newly advanced martial artist at the pinnacle Aperture Tempering realm, would respond under the combined attack of two opponents.

Would he panic, get injured, or even sustain severe injuries?

“Boom!”

The entire hall trembled violently, and the formation was unable to resist such a force, even though it was just a residual shockwave.

The body of the Qianyuan Sword effortlessly blocked Qiu Changtai’s blade, while Chen Fei’s other hand, like a skilled butcher, followed the seams of elemental energy and cut into the weak point of Lou Sanfeng’s dagger, directly snapping her right hand.

“Ahh!”

Lou Sanfeng’s dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and she cried out in pain.

“How dare you!”

Qiu Changtai, witnessing his wife’s injury, erupted in anger, and his Suspended Water Technique abruptly reversed, causing his entire body’s power to surge.

Compared to Lou Sanfeng’s “Sunken Water Jue,” Qiu Changtai’s was undoubtedly more refined and precise, having complete control over every ounce of power within his body.

Even when reversing the Suspended Water Technique and surging with increased power, Qiu Changtai could maintain full control without leaking a fraction of it, allowing him to unleash this power to its fullest.

Qiu Changtai raised the blade in his hand high once more and chopped down towards Chen Fei’s head, as if he intended to split Chen Fei into two halves.

Inside the hall, everyone else was fixated on the scene before them. As Qiu Changtai’s aura surged, dominating the surroundings, everyone’s hearts were on edge.

Qu Qingsheng supported his body, and at this moment, Qiu Changtai’s displayed power was not the least bit inferior to the former head of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect. In certain aspects, it was even more ruthless.

“Clang!”

The Qianyuan Sword once again stood before Qiu Changtai. Its blade was as stable as a rock, and even though Qiu Changtai’s strike was much stronger than before, it seemed to have no effect on Chen Fei.

Qiu Changtai’s eyes involuntarily widened. A strike reversing the Suspended Water Technique could easily slay any advanced Aperture Tempering realm practitioner, even those at the peak. Qiu Changtai had once directly injured someone with the same cultivation level in the past.

However, at this moment, such a strike couldn’t even budge the opponent’s sword?

“Snap!”

Just as Lou Sanfeng had yelled out in pain due to her right hand being crushed, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her cheek. Then, half of her face went numb.

In the midst of the chaos, Lou Sanfeng hadn’t yet processed what happened when she suddenly felt a severe pain on the other side of her cheek. Then, her entire face lost all sensation.

However, in the midst of this, Lou Sanfeng faintly felt that her mouth was filled with something fragmented, like broken teeth?

“Boom!”

Lou Sanfeng collapsed to the ground, and her entire skeletal structure emitted the sound of breaking. This impact finally brought Lou Sanfeng’s consciousness back, and she became aware of her condition.

Both sides of her cheeks could no longer feel anything, and her mouth was filled with broken teeth. At the same time, her internal organs seemed to have been crushed, displaying cracks.

What made it even more agonizing was that despite these injuries, Lou Sanfeng didn’t lose consciousness. She remained painfully alert, acutely aware of all the changes and every bit of suffering her body was enduring.

“Ahh!”

Lou Sanfeng let out a wild scream, as if only by doing so could she vent the terror in her heart.

Where was her husband? Why didn’t he save her? Why was she subjected to such injuries!

In the blink of an eye, everything had happened. After Qiu Changtai’s attack was blocked by Chen Fei, Lou Sanfeng ended up in her current state.

“Ah, fuck you!”

Seeing the state of his wife, Qiu Changtai’s eyes turned bloodshot instantly. All 108 acupoints quivered, and the Suspended Water Technique split into two streams of elemental energy, one forward and one reversed.

These two streams of elemental energy entangled and crushed each other, causing Qiu Changtai to feel as if he was about to split apart. A horrifying power surged within him.

The Suspended Water Yin Yang Profound, a forbidden technique from the Suspended Water Technique, had crossed Qiu Changtai’s mind as something he might use one day. However, he had never anticipated using this technique against a martial artist of the same level.

“Roar!”

Chen Fei turned to look at Qiu Changtai, and the sound of a roaring dragon and elephant erupted from within him. The Primordial Sword Scripture manifested as pure black energy on the Qianyuan Sword.

“Boom!”

A tremendous force directly shattered the formation, creating a gap in the main hall’s roof. Amidst the swirling dust, a figure was violently flung out, crashing to the ground and rolling dozens of times before finally coming to a halt. It was none other than Qiu Changtai.

Chen Fei slowly walked over and stood in front of Qiu Changtai.

An Aperture Tempering realm peak practitioner who couldn’t even make it onto the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking was only worthy of one move from Chen Fei!
