Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 978: The Rising Dragon

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Stubborn and unrepentant, death is the only outcome!”

The voice of the constable came coldly from behind, and in the next moment, five blades of light descended from the rear.

Dodging even one blade of light was impossible, let alone five; the only option was to withstand it head-on!

“Boom!”

The jet-black sword light clashed with the blades of light. Chen Fei spun in mid-air and landed steadily to one side.

Soul Dissolution at 30%!

To block such a combined attack with minimal cost, Soul Dissolution was the most suitable method.

Seeing Chen Fei perfectly block the attacks from the five constables, the various alien observers from afar were filled with astonishment.

Chen Fei had previously taken three blades head-on without showing any signs of fatigue, which had already impressed them.

Now, the combined force of five late-stage Sun Moon Realm warriors was also unable to break Chen Fei’s defense, which was quite astonishing.

For a moment, thoughts of the human genius flashed through their minds.

This realization suddenly caused expressions of shock to appear in many alien eyes.

Just as Feng Haijie sensed something was wrong, other aliens also recalled past events and noticed their memories had become fuzzy.

Reaching the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm was considered exceptional among various races, with strengths and abilities often surpassing others.

Thus, when they realized something was off, these aliens understood it must be the result of subtle alterations made by this strange city.

In such a situation, there was no time to hesitate; they charged directly toward the city gate.

Whether or not they had fifty coins was no longer the issue. They had to escape this strange city; otherwise, they would never get out of Spirit Concealing Lake.

More and more aliens rushed toward the city gate, while Chen Fei continued to observe his surroundings, especially the fixed distance to the city gate, which was his main focus.

Desolate Slaughter Night Star Sword, Indestructible Vision, and Celestial Suppression!

These three techniques and divine powers operated at full capacity within Chen Fei, constantly gathering information about the environment.

The strange city was strong but not excessively so.

If there was power at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm, it should be possible to forcibly tear through the barrier.

With so many aliens inside the city, their combined strength actually far exceeded the peak of the Sun Moon Realm.

However, the strange city seemed to function like a domain. Each part of it had a tolerance limit above the late-stage Sun Moon Realm but below the peak.

If one were to truly attack the strange city, the city could forcibly separate the aliens’ attacks, preventing a genuine combined effort.

Without a combined effort, breaking the city’s blockade was naturally impossible.

Chen Fei’s attack power was still a considerable distance from the peak of the Sun Moon Realm, so he was still somewhat short of being able to forcibly tear the barrier.

Unless Chen Fei used his complete Soul Dissolution and took a desperate gamble, he might be able to reach the peak of the Sun Moon Realm.

But that would leave him with no way to retreat.

Moreover, the maximum limit of the strange city’s barrier was estimated to be at the peak of the Sun Moon Realm, though Chen Fei couldn’t be completely sure.

Unless there was no other choice, Chen Fei would not fully dissolve himself for an uncertain possibility.

Suddenly, Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly as he glanced into the distance and saw many aliens starting to attack the direction of the city gate.

Chen Fei had not anticipated that these aliens would suddenly act together.

However, their assault on the city gate alleviated much of the pressure on him.

More importantly, the large-scale assault by these aliens would lead to greater changes in the strange city, from which Chen Fei could deduce a lot of information.

It’s not fearsome if you’re strong; it’s the lack of change that makes you unpredictable.

Once again, the five constables combined their attack, and the overwhelming blade light completely covered the sky, instilling a sense of despair.

Despite this, Chen Fei remained unaffected by the emotional impact. He flipped his Qianyuan Sword, and the Eternal Night Sword soared into the sky, clashing with the blade light until it vanished.

“Defying the law, criminals, they deserve to die!”

Unable to subdue Chen Fei, dozens of Glass Clan members around him exploded in anger, launching dozens of attacks at Chen Fei.

Each attack was at the mid-stage of the Sun Moon Realm, effectively surrounding Chen Fei with the combined power of dozens of mid-stage Sun Moon Realm warriors and five late-stage Sun Moon Realm warriors.

Such an intensity of attack would be fatal even to a late-stage Sun Moon Realm warrior.

With Soul Dissolution at 70%, Chen Fei unleashed his full divine power!

Chen Fei’s power surged dramatically, black flames burned around his body, and his eyes turned pitch black. The entire world seemed to quiet down in his vision.

The strange city was powerful, but fortunately, it lacked spiritual intelligence.

Thus, although dozens of attacks at the Sun Moon Realm level seemed inevitably lethal, they were still significantly different from a true peak Sun Moon Realm strike.

Chen Fei raised his Qianyuan Sword, first touching one of the constables’ attacks. He slightly retreated, maneuvering the constable’s attack to collide with the adjacent ones.

With Soul Dissolution at 70% and his complete divine power, Chen Fei’s absolute strength exceeded that of any Glass Clan member or constable present.

This allowed Chen Fei to use such a maneuver to redirect attacks.

This technique was derived from Celestial Suppression, the clan’s foundational skill.

At present, Chen Fei had just begun to learn Celestial Suppression. However, once he mastered it, he would be able to perform as effectively as when he initially practiced Suppressing Dragon Elephant.

Forcefully melting part of the attacks and then countering with even greater strength.

At that point, Chen Fei wouldn’t need to fully dissolve himself; he could break through the entire strange city’s blockade.

“Boom!”

The immense explosion reverberated through the strange city. Though it sounded like a single explosion, it was actually the result of dozens of attacks merging together as Chen Fei’s Qianyuan Sword clashed with them in rapid succession.

With this pinnacle technique and strength, Chen Fei neutralized the overwhelming attacks.

The buildings within a few miles had already been flattened, but they soon restored to their original state.

Everything in the strange city, including the buildings, was imperishable and indestructible.

Thus, Chen Fei did not consider rushing in to kill any Glass Clan members or constables. He was waiting, waiting for a suitable opportunity.

This opportunity was gradually presenting itself as the aliens attacked the city gate.

From afar, the aliens had long noticed that they could not approach the city gate and were desperately running toward it.

Since they had not launched any attacks, the Glass Clan members on the streets merely watched the aliens run without intervening.

This was the operational rule of the strange city: everything had a foundational principle. Even if it seemed absurd, there was always a principle in place.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Another two explosions echoed, but even after two successive strikes from dozens of Glass Clan members and constables, Chen Fei’s defense remained unbroken.

In the next moment, the five constables doubled in number, becoming ten.

The number of Glass Clan members on the outskirts had not increased, likely because there were only so many family members of the patients in the strange city’s original rules.

From a distance, many aliens, while attacking the city gate, kept a close watch on Chen Fei’s movements.

Seeing Chen Fei effortlessly withstand the attacks from dozens of mid-stage and above Sun Moon Realm warriors, they were at a loss for words to express their astonishment.

Which human genius is this? Such combat power seems outrageously excessive.

If they encountered this human and had a conflict, wouldn’t they be taken down one by one with a single sword strike?

“Boom!”

The additional five constables, when combined, still exerted immense pressure on Chen Fei.

However, with these five additional constables, Chen Fei finally detected a flaw in the strange city’s operation.

It might not be a flaw per se, but because the strange city began using most of its power to deal with Chen Fei, many operational logics became clear.

Under the influence of the Indestructible Vision integrating with the environment, Chen Fei spotted something.

With ten constables and dozens of Glass Clan members launching another attack at Chen Fei, he slightly lifted his eyelids, turned his Qianyuan Sword, and slashed at the void behind him.

“Whum!”

As the Qianyuan Sword passed through, the space rippled, revealing gaps within the space itself.

For Chen Fei, having spatial gaps was more than enough.

In the next moment, Chen Fei suddenly disappeared from his original position, and when he reappeared, he was already beneath the city gate.

He had directly bypassed the fixed spatial distance with a teleportation move.

Chen Fei looked up at the city gate, slashed forward with his Qianyuan Sword, and a massive Eternal Night Sword materialized, striking the city gate.

“Boom!”

The city gate of the strange city twisted violently, and in the next moment, it collapsed, leaving a hole in the space where the gate once stood. Through this hole, the mountains outside Spirit Concealing Lake could be seen.

Chen Fei took a step forward and vanished from his location.

From behind, as Chen Fei shattered the city gate, all the aliens noticed the fixed spatial distance disappearing as well, and they rushed toward the newly appeared hole with immense joy.

“Thud!”

A sound like a heartbeat or a heavy object falling resonated deeply within all the aliens’ souls.

A shadow resembling a tongue flashed across the space above the city gate, with countless forks at the tip, each covered with tiny saw-like teeth.

As the shadow passed, the hole in the city gate vanished instantly, and the gate returned to its original state.

A powerful force surged, and all the aliens rushing toward the gate were jolted back to their original positions, helplessly watching as the exit disappeared.

Outside Spirit Concealing Lake, a figure emerged, but it seemed to be struck by something, tumbling through the air before finally landing on the mountains outside.

The figure was Chen Fei, who looked down at the corroded spot on his Qianyuan Sword. He had been struck by a shadow just before.

This shadow had appeared the previous night.
