Chapter 19: The Master Above
In an instant, the flying sword, like lightning, arrived in the blink of an eye, pressing close.
And Ye Feng stepped forward, meeting the sword head-on.
When the flying sword was less than a fist's distance from Ye Feng's chest, it suddenly stagnated in mid-air.
Buzzing!
The sword hummed lightly, as if battling with unseen air.
At the same time, Ye Feng also halted his steps, surrounded by strands of golden light.
As if invisibly, he had activated a barrier, solid as a rock!
And the speeding flying sword was effectively blocked outside the golden light.
"Hiss…"
The unbelievable scene almost dropped everyone's jaws.
Even Elder Yu, astonished, gasped in disbelief, exclaiming,
"Golden Light Protection!?"
"How… How is this possible!?"
They had thought Ye Feng was just an ordinary warrior with no cultivation, but never in their wildest dreams did they expect him to summon the Golden Light Protection and resist their flying sword.
Following this, Ye Feng extended his finger, pointing directly at the tip of the flying sword outside the golden light.
With a flick of his finger!
A crisp crack sounded as the sword shattered into countless pieces, along with its hilt, all falling to the ground.
And the wielder of the flying sword, Elder Yu, also suffered a backlash from the sword's destruction, stepping back three steps, his body feeling like it had been hit by a violent storm, almost shaken with internal injuries.
Elder Yu's face was filled with horror, unable to express his fear.
"How dare a mere art practitioner act recklessly in front of me?"
Ye Feng formed a hand seal with one hand, thunderous sounds echoing around him.
"Today, I'll let you witness my abilities!"
With that, Ye Feng raised his finger, pointing it straight up into the sky.
His fingertip glowed faintly, accompanied by the sound of thunder, as if surrounded by lightning.
Seeing this scene, onlookers could only marvel at the spectacle, but Elder Yu couldn't help but shudder with fear, gasping,
"Guided by Qi, mastering arts!?"
"Are you—you're a celestial master!?"
Elder Yu looked at Ye Feng in horror, showing an incredulous expression.
Never had he imagined encountering such a young celestial master!?
And to become a celestial master was to master the laws of heaven and earth, far beyond the reach of elders like him.
In the cultivation line, the titles of Elder and Celestial Master were once used interchangeably, without distinction.
It wasn't until Emperor Hongwu declared, "How can there be masters in the heavens!" that cultivators began calling themselves Elders.
But privately, they still revered those who had attained enlightenment as "Celestial Masters."
Celestial Masters and Elders were like heaven and earth, worlds apart!
Therefore, when Elder Yu encountered a young man with seemingly celestial master-level cultivation, how could he not be shocked?
"What lineage do you come from?"
"And what sacred sect?"
Terrified, Elder Yu couldn't help but step back, sweating coldly.
Ye Feng didn't answer; he took a step forward, surrounded by dazzling golden light, charging straight towards Elder Yu.
With a thunderous boom, as if thunder striking the ground.
Ye Feng raised his hand and shouted,
"Thunder Strike!"
Above the dome, it seemed like a giant hand descended.
And with lightning speed, it struck down towards Elder Yu's head.
In the blink of an eye, Elder Yu, overwhelmed by lightning, turned black as if burnt, enveloped in thunder and lightning, and collapsed to the ground, his life hanging by a thread.
Ye Feng waved his hand, dispersing the golden light around him.
The vast hall was once again shrouded in darkness.
Silence!
All around, there was utter silence!
The scene seemed to turn into an abyss, silent and desolate.
In the darkness, everyone stared at Ye Feng in fear, their minds echoing the astonishing scene of Ye Feng controlling thunder and lightning to instantly kill Elder Yu.
At this moment, Bai Weiwei was also completely stunned by Ye Feng's display of power.
If initially she had doubts about Ye Feng, as he single-handedly faced hundreds, her trust gradually deepened.
Now, Bai Weiwei had complete faith in Ye Feng.
With Ye Feng's strength, he was not just a pillar for their Bai family, but almost a guardian god.
In Bai Weiwei's eyes, hope was rekindled.
The resurgence of the Bai family was imminent!
On the other hand, the members of the Cui family were more terrified than astonished by Ye Feng's display.
They were genuinely scared!
"You little brat, what kind of monster did you provoke!"
Old Master Cui was so scared that he couldn't stop trembling, swallowing saliva uncontrollably.
The highly paid Elder Yu, hired by them, was taken out with just one move. How could they continue like this?
"I... I don't know..."
Cui Youliang wore a pained expression, completely bewildered.
He had just come to the Bai family villa as usual to plunder some treasures. Who could have imagined that today, they would encounter such a formidable opponent who seized control of the place?
Clack, clack, clack!
After dealing with Elder Yu, Ye Feng stepped closer and closer to the father and son of the Cui family.
Seeing Ye Feng approaching them again, Cui Youliang couldn't help but shiver in fear, suddenly remembering something.
"Dad... dad... I mentioned on the phone earlier... did you prepare the money?"
At the mention of this, Old Master Cui froze, shaking his head. "No... no..."
At that time, he brought Elder Yu, thinking he had everything under control and that capturing Ye Feng would be easy. Why bother preparing money again?
But who would have thought that Elder Yu would be taken out with just one move?
This is bad—Cui Youliang's heart sank. He felt that big trouble was brewing, and even billions might not be enough to solve it.
"The money?"
The cold voice of Ye Feng echoed from the darkness.
The father and son of the Cui family suddenly lifted their heads, realizing that Ye Feng was already standing in front of them.
Facing Ye Feng's terrifying aura, the father and son felt suffocated.
"We... we came in a hurry... and forgot to prepare..."
Old Master Cui could only reply, half-truthfully.
"Then continue calling people. But this time, prepare twenty billion!"
Ye Feng's voice was cold and indifferent.
