Chapter 82: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Baldy King's complexion was very unsightly, his breath was much weaker than before and he no longer seemed as powerful as he had been, but he didn't think he had lost because he still had a trump card that he hadn't used yet. Once he swallowed the Replenishing Pellet, his fighting strength would return to its peak once again.
But in his heart, he was extremely ashamed. He was a veteran warrior of the Ninth Stage of the Condensed Shadow Realm, and he was quite famous in some circles. But today, he couldn't even handle a young man in his teens, which was really a great loss of face.
If he didn't have the Bu Yuan Dan, wouldn't that mean his strength was inferior to Yun Feng's? The news would be a huge blow to his reputation if it got out, but now he couldn't care less about that because even if he swallowed the Bu Yuan Dan, the outcome would still be the same.
Seeing this scene, many people couldn't help but laugh at him, and he was indeed too shameless to use the colorful head as his own trump card. However, this was also within the expectations of many people, so they just despised him a little and wouldn't bother to argue with Baldy Wang, after all, the Bu Yuan Dan would never fall into their hands anyway.
"Whatever, it's not like I need to ask anyway. Let's just fight here then, and consider it as if the Bald King and Black Fire Lotus Flower never met."
Bald-headed Wang snorted, unexpectedly the tenth Yuan-yuan Dan as a follow-up was not used, at this time his face fell greatly, he didn't want to stay here anymore and didn't give Yun Feng a chance to speak, turning around to leave.
"What did you say? I couldn't defeat you? Hmph... Have you forgotten that my strongest sword hasn't even been unleashed yet?"
However, before Baldy took a step back, an even more fierce aura suddenly burst out from behind him. Immediately, he felt that the surroundings were filled with sword shadows, sweeping towards him, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly sprang up from his heart.
"Not good! This little bastard..."
Baldy King subconsciously turned around, and what he saw was a dense sword energy storm sweeping towards him. The terrifying breaking wind sound was like the roar of the god of death, making him feel an icy chill from the bottom of his heart. Moreover, this sword energy covered a large area and moved at high speed, leaving him no time to dodge in such a short period.
With a flip of his palm, the Bu Yuan Dan that he had long prepared fell into his hand, and without thinking, he swallowed it into his abdomen. In an instant, a powerful surge of yuan energy fluctuation emanated from his body, and the ninth stage of the Cong Ying realm's yuan energy cultivation returned once again.
"I don't believe it, Baldy King can't even withstand an attack from a little kid like you."
In the midst of angry roars, Baldy King mobilized his entire Yuan force, and then without a moment's hesitation, he threw a full-force punch forward.
The void shook violently, a series of fist silhouettes connected in a line, continuously bombarding the sword energy.
"Hmph!"
Although he was fighting with all his might, there were still sword auras falling on Wang's bald head, at least twenty light and heavy sword marks appeared all over his body, even on his face, bloody and ferocious.
"Fall back!"
Baldy King, however, was too preoccupied to notice the injuries on his body at this time. He rotated the remaining yuan force in his body and was about to retreat hastily because he keenly sensed that a more intense danger was approaching him.
"Whoosh!"
However, before he could take a step back, the Cloud Flourishing Sword returned to its original position. In the next moment, the expressionless Yun Feng appeared in front of him, with the icy sword tip pressed against his throat. "You lost, hand over the ten Replenishing Origin Pills."
The face of Baldy King turned pale instantly.
Wow!
This scene made everyone on the scene look shocked one by one. Did they really resolve the battle so easily?
In their eyes, Yun Feng's final sword move was not particularly powerful, and an ordinary martial artist might not be able to withstand it. However, as a veteran ninth-stage martial artist at the peak of the Condensed Shadow Realm, he should be able to withstand it without expending too much energy, allowing him to cope with subsequent changes.
However, Baldy King managed to withstand Yun Feng's sword, but his body was left with many wounds, which made the surrounding warriors look down on him. It seems that Baldy King's combat power has indeed decreased a lot. Moreover, facing Yun Feng's final sword, with the sword tip pressed against Baldy King's throat, he couldn't even dodge or evade.
He had taken the Bu Yuan Dan just before he drew his sword in Yun Feng, and his body's yuan energy was instantly restored to its peak state... but the result ended up like this...
But Baldy Wang himself was also shocked and unwilling, however when he felt the chill on his neck and a hint of sharp aura, he suddenly came to his senses. The sword that Yun Feng had just used already contained a momentum that could shatter everything.
He didn't lose unfairly. As a veteran of the Shadow Realm's 9th stage, Baldy King had already seen that young man's final burst of strength, but he couldn't help feeling frustrated that he had become a whetstone!
"Baldy, must I repeat myself again?" Yun Feng's icy words rang in his ears.
"Yun Feng, as a person, one must leave some leeway. These Bu Yuan Dan are my trump card, and also all I have in this life. Are you really going to take them all away? Although you're the young master of Wu Xu Sword Pavilion, I, Guang Tou Wang, have been traveling the Jianghu for decades, and I'm acquainted with quite a few Tong Ti Jing high-level experts. Do you really want to make an enemy out of me for the sake of that little brat? Aren't you afraid your master will blame you?"
Bald-headed King's gaze shifted to Yun Feng, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he sneered: "Thinking of making me hand over ten Bu Yuan Dan is impossible. I think it's either this way, I'll give you two Bu Yuan Dan, and our matters will be settled once and for all. What do you say?"
Yun Feng heard Wang Guang's words, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, and then it was gone, with a hesitant expression, unable to make a decision at the first time.
What Baldy said was not wrong at all. If he had really offended him thoroughly, it would have brought huge trouble to the Sword Pavilion. Even if he killed him directly, there would still be a huge hidden danger. However, if he didn't let him hand over the ten Bu Yuan Dan, he felt that he owed Hu Gao and would betray his trust...
For a moment, Yunfeng was hesitant and uncertain.
At this moment, he felt a strong breath rushing out from the front, directly enveloping him, and a strong sense of crisis surged up in his heart. Soon, he saw that Baldy King had broken free from his control and was now charging towards him with all his might, his fist only an inch away from his face. Not to mention resisting, he didn't even have the chance to dodge.
A breath of death rises from the heart.
At the same time, there was also a strong sense of regret, unwillingness... and apology.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, a sharp gust of wind came from behind him, and the bald-headed Wang's fist, which was about to strike, also stopped in mid-air, less than half an inch away from his face.
Take another look at Baldy, and Yun Feng suddenly discovered that in the former's chest, a sword was inserted, and the person holding the sword stood beside him, a familiar face, it was Hu Gao.
Baldy Wang died just like that, killed by that little punk Hu Gao.
One sword pierced through the heart, breaking not only Guangtou Wang's vitality but also his energy. In an instant, all of Guangtou Wang's strength was frozen, and even the explosive force of his fist disappeared, turning into a few strands that brushed against Yunfeng's hair.
This change made Guang Tou Wang's body as still as a stone statue, with only the dripping blood from the sword that pierced his chest giving off a faint glow.
Hu Gao's sword was exactly what he learned from Yun Feng's last sword, Yun Feng was the gathering of wind, while he was the rising of wind, one sword rose to ten thousand, destroying everything inside Guang Tou's strong body.
Watching Hu Gao show no fear at all, but instead a face full of disdain, he killed the Bald King with one sword strike. The entire audience was extremely shocked and terrified beyond measure.
Hu Gao and Yun Feng are of the same age, but compared to Yun Feng, his cultivation is much weaker. He is only at the 7th stage of the Condensed Shadow Realm, while Yun Feng is already at the 9th stage, making him extremely powerful. This makes almost no one notice Hu Gao, a small martial artist at the 7th stage of the Condensed Shadow Realm, as all eyes are focused on Yun Feng, the genius.
However, just as the genius was in extreme danger and his life hung by a thread, it was Hu Gao, this little martial artist, who sealed off all of Guangying Wang's moves with one sword.
Perhaps Hu Gao just ambushed and succeeded, but his grasp of timing and the ruthlessness between his moves made these people sigh in admiration.
These people only now understand that this seemingly weak little martial artist actually also contains a huge explosive power and lethal power, which is equally not to be underestimated.
"Xiao Wa's strength is actually so strong, no wonder he has always been fearless, even Guang Tou Wang can be killed by him with one sword."
The old man with the pipe was startled by Hu Gao's sword, and he puffed on his pipe with all his might, blowing out smoke from all four orifices of his head, but soon came back to himself, coughing repeatedly, and felt excited about the latter's strength.
That one sword move truly has rarely seen leading ability!
"Hu Gao brother, thank you. I... just made a mistake."
Yun Feng's face was slightly red, he had previously made a guarantee that he would not let Hu Gao down, but unexpectedly, in the end, he had to rely on the latter to save him, it was truly hateful, and he was actually deceived by Guang Tou Wang's words.
"It's nothing, we're all still young, and it's normal to lack experience."
Hu Gao put away the Shadowless Sword, searched the bald-headed king's body and found a jade bottle containing Bu Yuan Dan. He opened it to check, confirmed that it was genuine, then put it in his bosom under everyone's envious gaze. Only then did he wave his hand at Yun Feng, not minding at all.
He glanced at the corpse of Guang Tou Wang, standing stiffly in front of him, and curled his lip in disdain. How dare he, indeed! He didn't take himself, the one who held the power, seriously at all.
Actually, when Baldy Wang just said those words, Hu Gao had already started making preparations. However, he still wanted to wait for Yun Feng's reaction. Although the latter hesitated and wavered, he became even more delighted instead.
Yes, I'm happy.
Although Yun Feng's swordsmanship emphasizes a single, unstoppable strike, if this strike is devoid of any emotional depth, what significance does it hold?
Hú Gāo just hoped that Yún Fēng's sword moves and sword intent would contain a hint of emotion, becoming more vivid and lifelike; otherwise, even if he learned them, it would be pointless.
If Yun Feng just abandoned his own sword pavilion family for the sake of achieving his goal, Hu Gao would absolutely draw a clear line between himself and him without hesitation, and they could no longer be people in the same world.
Fortunately, Yunfeng did not disappoint him. He had not misjudged him earlier - this was a man who dared to fight and take responsibility. It was worth the passion he had shown for him earlier, using one sword to rescue him from the fire poison.
"Next, I will fight with all my might and no one will be able to threaten me again."
Yun Feng once again made a guarantee, this time even more thorough and pure.
