"What do you mean?" Xiao Yefeng did not respond, but with a slight push from his feet, he soared into the air. This was true flight, without stepping on flying birds or riding Qi; he simply took off.
This was the current strength of Xiao Yefeng. During this trip to the Nine-Tiered Demon Tower, after absorbing countless Beast Cores, he realized that his power had reached saturation. The spiritual energy within his Spirit Platform no longer swirled; the shimmering Qi ball had continuously compressed into a liquid that resembled a solid. However, the most significant change was that Xiao Yefeng could now rise by stepping on the air currents. Although he could not fly freely, ascending was no longer an issue.
Xiao Yefeng did not mention this to anyone, not even to the Three Elders or Jiang Xing. When they saw him ascend, everyone looked at him in astonishment. At that moment, Master let out a hoarse laugh and said, "As expected, during this trial of the Nine-Tiered Demon Tower, you have indeed reached the limits of this dimension. Since that is the case, it will be easier to handle! Hand over the Dragon Pearl, and once I complete my grand task, you will certainly benefit!"
"Grand task? Are you planning to turn everyone into battle maniacs and hand them over to those people? To transform Earth into a colony solely for low-level warriors?" Xiao Yefeng had yet to change out of his beggar's clothes, but as he ascended, the surrounding air currents made his garments flutter dramatically, adding an air of authority.
Xiao Yefeng's words revealed what everyone had just speculated. The Master of Perfect World had his face obscured by darkness, making it impossible to see his expression. However, it was clear he was fixated on Xiao Yefeng, and Xiao Yefeng's words brought him back to reality.
Before long, Master laughed heartily and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't expect you to know my entire plan. How ironic! I supported your growth to this point and still underestimated your intelligence. You are correct; those Beastmen were released by me, and the low-priced Gene Serums were also sold by me. But even if I tell you this, can you stop it? Fear occupies everyone's heart; only by using Gene Serum to strengthen their bodies will they feel safe. Today I tell you all this; feel free to share it with those ordinary people and see if they will refuse my Gene Serum!"
"You!" Xiao Yefeng was left speechless because this was the truth. Faced with future death and imminent crisis, everyone would choose potential death in exchange for powerful strength to protect themselves from present dangers; that is human nature.
"Left without words! Hand over the Dragon Pearl left by the demons within the Demon Tower. Considering you are from the Xiao Family, I won't make things difficult for you!" Master declared.
"Hmph! Since you know I am from the Xiao Family, you should also know that we do not betray our own in times of crisis! Take this!"
The Yin-Yang Sword unsheathed; golden cyan twin dragons spiraled into a Tai Chi diagram and charged toward Master. At that moment, Master shook his head and said, "You are now one of the strongest individuals on Earth; however, I am different from you!"
With a slight extension of his right arm and fingers together facing the incoming Tai Chi diagram, he grasped it effortlessly. The Ling Kong shattered the Tai Chi diagram; two giant dragons were torn apart by his bare hands. The backlash force pushed Xiao Yefeng back several meters in mid-air before he finally stopped.
This was bad—he was completely outmatched. What kind of person was the Master of Perfect World? Such power was beyond human capability; it resembled the thunderstorm and Golden Eagle within the Demon Tower. But how could such a powerful being exist on Earth?
"Hmph! Is that all you've got? It's not normal for you to be stronger than me. I doubt you dare to use your full strength! Without it, do you really think you can defeat so many of us?" Xiao Yefeng brandished his sword, and behind him, the two Divine Generals of Golden Cyan reappeared, staring at the Master. At that moment, Jiang Xing and the others also moved, ready to surround their target.
The truth was, everyone present represented the pinnacle of power in Huaxia. If these individuals couldn't compete with the Master of Perfect World, then there would be no point in resisting.
At this moment, the Master remained calm but did not dare to act. Although he could easily defeat Xiao Yefeng alone, facing so many people combined with the power of the previous Guardian's forces made him wary. He might actually stumble here. However, retreat was not an option; he had taken the Mechanism Network from Jie, but he hadn't obtained the map that belonged to Jie. If he retreated now, getting it next time would be much harder!
No, since he had already made a move, there was no chance of holding back. No one could stand in the way of Perfect World; the Dragon Pearl of the Demon Emperor and the map of the Ancient Altar were both indispensable!
A surge of energy erupted as the Master spun the Bronze Ancient Seal in his hand. He threw it into the air, and it expanded rapidly in the wind, growing to the size of a grinding wheel and crashing down toward Xiao Yefeng. Clearly, among this group, Xiao Yefeng posed the greatest threat; if he wanted to reclaim the Spirit Binding Silver Nail and map from Qing and Jie, he had to stop Xiao Yefeng first.
"Get out of the way!" Xiao Yefeng shouted, his Yin-Yang Sword glowing with Inspiration as Primordial Qi transformed into substance. He raised his sword and thrust it directly at the descending seal.
However, at that moment, the Master let out a light snort. The massive seal aimed at Xiao Yefeng wobbled slightly in mid-air and transformed into countless smaller seals that rained down upon everyone like raindrops. Numerous Bronze Ancient Seals enveloped the rooftop as the Master gestured downward with his hand. The falling Bronze Ancient Seals smashed into the stone tiles above.
The sound of "whoosh whoosh whoosh" filled the air as Ancient Seals descended around them. Fortunately, everyone was quick on their feet; talismans and Qi surged forth to deflect the Bronze Ancient Seals aimed at them. After clashing with everyone, these Bronze Ancient Seals dissipated into strands of Qi, clearly mere avatars of the true Ancient Seal.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng stood at the forefront and received most of the attacks from the Ancient Seals. His sword danced in a seamless defense while a Bagua Mirror hovered above him, shining brightly. The metallic clangs echoed continuously as it was evident that the true Bronze Ancient Seal was targeting Xiao Yefeng.
"Look! What he's holding is one of the Four Sacred Artifacts—the Eight Directions Seal! It’s considered one of the strongest offensive artifacts among them!" Qing exclaimed as she grasped a colorful ribbon in her hand. Being at the forefront among everyone below, she used her ribbon to block most of the incoming Ancient Seals. Remembering that this was indeed the Eight Directions Seal that had been stolen, she called out a warning to Xiao Yefeng.
With a heavy clash sound, Xiao Yefeng staggered back three steps but stood firm with his sword raised. The rain of Ancient Seals aimed at everyone vanished just then as the Eight Directions Seal reappeared in Master’s hand. The Master then curiously remarked, "You actually found the real Eight Directions Seal?"
Indeed, just moments ago, Xiao Yefeng had successfully located its true form among countless Ancient Seals using his Observer's Eye for absolute insight. With one strike, he severed Master's control over the Eight Directions Seal's spiritual energy, thus stopping the rain of Ancient Seals' attacks.
Without answering Master, Xiao Yefeng's eyes were filled only with the enemy, the very one who had killed his parents. Xiao Yefeng had always been a rational person; he never showed mercy to those who deserved to die. However, time was of the essence, and between killing the enemy and saving someone, Xiao Yefeng could still make the best choice. Now, knowing that he was no match for Master at this moment, he began looking for opportunities to buy time. Master's abilities were definitely abnormal; how could a human maintain such immense power at all times?
Of course, Xiao Yefeng possessed such abilities as well, but he understood that the price for a brief surge of power was absolutely steep.
"I can't delay any longer; this kid is too cunning and has probably guessed my intentions!" Master thought to himself. He then took the Eight Directions Seal into his hands, the black Qi obscuring his own Qi color, while the Eight Directions Seal underwent a transformation, suddenly morphing into a long spear.
At that moment when the Eight Directions Seal changed shape, Xiao Yefeng moved. Holding the Yin-Yang Sword, he paced back and forth before suddenly vanishing from Master's perception. At this point, Xiao Yefeng finally revealed the ability of the Spirit Hidden Jade Tablet that he had just acquired.
Although Master was somewhat surprised, he remained extremely calm. With a sweep of the Bronze Ancient Spear, a field of spear tips appeared before him, clearly adopting a defensive posture while waiting for Xiao Yefeng's attack. Xiao Yefeng did not hold back either; the effectiveness of the Spirit Hidden Jade Tablet varied with the strength of his opponent. Master was too powerful; as soon as Xiao Yefeng got close to him, the Spirit Hidden Jade Tablet could no longer conceal his presence.
Thus, Xiao Yefeng did not bother to infuse more Qi to hide his body. The Yin-Yang Sword sliced through Master's black Qi Shield and stabbed toward Master's throat. Xiao Yefeng's attack was as swift as the wind, and Master was equally unyielding. The Bronze Ancient Spear thrust upward diagonally to block the Yin-Yang Sword and then swept back in a counterattack against Xiao Yefeng.
Xiao Yefeng could not ignore this incoming attack. A flash of light appeared on the Bagua Mirror as he activated the Xun Character Technique. His feet floated like wind, allowing him to evade the spear thrust and swiftly move behind Master. Flames surged around his sword as he unleashed the Li Character Decision once more; endless candle flames twisted like a dragon emerging from the sea, wrapping around his sword and piercing toward Master's vital spot in his back.
"Trivial skills!" came a hoarse voice. Xiao Yefeng felt his Yin-Yang Sword become weightless as the Candlefire Dragon crashed into a Yellow Talisman and vanished. Seeing this Yellow Talisman made Xiao Yefeng's heart sink! This was the Substitution Talisman!
Indeed, it was the Substitution Talisman that Xiao Wen had learned in Perfect World. As the ruler of Perfect World, Master certainly knew how to use it! Realizing this, Xiao Yefeng had no choice but to turn around and brace himself against this attack. However, time was not on his side; even if he managed to turn in time to block it, he would still be injured because Master's move was far too cunning!
