Ye Chenfeng obtained three ancient maps that could lead to the Holy Fire Abyss, with only one remaining in the hands of Wind Sword Palace. To rescue Bai Xiaorou and retrieve the final map, Ye Chenfeng, along with Zhao Jinpeng, Ning Long, and Ning Yu, confronted Wind Sword Palace. They quickly dealt with the guards at the foot of the mountain, but midway up, they were intercepted by an old man with ties to Wind Sword Palace and Jiang Anxiong, an ancestor of the Jiang family whose descendants Ye Chenfeng had killed. Jiang Anxiong, a powerful Early Divine Venerate Realm expert, confronted Ye Chenfeng, who was only at the Mid Divine King Realm, while Ning Long attempted to negotiate.

After hearing Ning Long’s words, Jiang Anxiong paused slightly. He had indeed heard about this matter before.

In the entire Fengjian Palace, there were only two patriarchs.

The other Mid Divine Venerate patriarch was named Chou Kangrong, who had previously approached Jiang Anxiong and told him about obtaining the map from Sword Hanging Villa.

When Chou Kangrong saw the map at Sword Hanging Villa, he vaguely guessed that the map might be related to the legendary Holy Fire Abyss. Later, after he and Jiang Anxiong studied the obtained map together, they almost unanimously believed that this was the map of the Holy Fire Abyss.

Fire raged in Jiang Anxiong’s eyes, and he knew he had to avenge Jiang Li and Jiang Baiyao. However, he also wanted to obtain the other map of the Holy Fire Abyss held by the opponent. While he was hesitating in his heart,

the old man who came to report spoke again, "Senior, when at Sword Valley, it was only this kid present, and it was only this kid who killed Jiang Li and Jiang Baiyao."

Upon hearing this,

the aura around Jiang Anxiong once again surged wildly.

Indeed.

If anyone among these people were still alive, wouldn’t they know about the other map? With his methods, he had many ways to make people talk obediently.

Suddenly, a black longsword appeared in Jiang Anxiong’s hand.

His figure then disappeared from the spot.

Ye Chenfeng frowned and said to Zhao Jinpeng and others, "Fall back."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Ye Chenfeng immediately soared into the air, knowing that Jiang Anxiong’s target was him, so Zhao Jinpeng and others were temporarily safe.

Just as Ye Chenfeng ascended, he felt a strong oppressive aura approaching.

He quickly drew the Qingyun Sword from his back, his internal Mid Divine King Realm aura soaring to the extreme.

He held the Qingyun Sword in front of him.

With a "clang!" sound.

Sparks flew in all directions.

Ye Chenfeng’s figure was blasted back in the sky, and Jiang Anxiong, holding the black longsword, appeared in the sky. He was filled with astonishment. How could Ye Chenfeng, clearly only at Mid Divine King Realm, have such formidable combat power and speed?

For an ordinary Mid Divine King Realm expert, they wouldn’t be able to block his previous strike.

Ye Chenfeng, having retreated a distance, stabilised himself in the sky, his arm somewhat numb from holding the Qingyun Sword. As expected, a Divine Venerate was a Divine Venerate after all.

People below watched the battle in the sky.

Zhao Jinpeng’s eyes were filled with gravity. He knew Ye Chenfeng was powerful, but the gap between Divine King Realm and Divine Venerate Realm was too vast. Just from the first exchange, Ye Chenfeng did not fall much behind Jiang Anxiong.

Ning Long and Ning Yu, standing behind Zhao Jinpeng, widened their eyes as they watched the sky. In their understanding, even a Peak Divine King Realm expert could not compare to an Early Divine Venerate Realm expert.

So they thought Ye Chenfeng, facing the Early Divine Venerate Jiang Anxiong, might be instantly killed, but unexpectedly, Ye Chenfeng not only kept up with Jiang Anxiong’s speed but also withstood Jiang Anxiong’s first strike.

The old man reporting had no trace of worry on his face. Although Ye Chenfeng barely withstood the first exchange, Jiang Anxiong hadn’t yet exhibited his true power.

Standing in the sky, Jiang Anxiong’s black longsword in his hand emitted surging Sword Qi.

Streams of black Sword Qi spread out.

The space around him was cut into streaks of black fissures by the Sword Qi.

He directly swung the black longsword at Ye Chenfeng.

"Sword Rain Overwhelming Heaven!"

The surrounding space instantly twisted.

"Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo—"

Countless black sword shadows rushed towards Ye Chenfeng from the sky.

At least tens of thousands of black sword shadows raced through the air, densely packed and overwhelming the eyes.

Facing the oncoming sword rain,

red lightning erupted from Ye Chenfeng’s feet.

He then performed the Four-Star Secret Technique, Thousand Thunder Flash, drastically increasing his speed.

Meanwhile, he continuously extracted the Jiutian Xuanlei from his Sea of Consciousness to augment his legs. With the addition of Jiutian Xuanlei, his speed kept accelerating.

His figure rapidly shuttled through the tens of thousands of sword rain. Zhao Jinpeng and the others below couldn’t capture Ye Chenfeng’s shadow at all.

The sword rain disappeared.

Ye Chenfeng’s figure appeared, unscathed.

As Jiang Anxiong frowned,

Ye Chenfeng’s cold voice sounded, "Had enough fun? Now it’s my turn."

The Qingyun Sword was placed back on his back.

The White Bone Sword appeared in his hand. While wielding Unyielding Sword Intent, the White Bone Sword could enhance its power, which should likewise enhance the Sword Soul’s power.

He held the White Bone Sword in his hand.

The Unyielding Sword Intent circulated within his body.

Instantly, a faint shadow of black chains appeared on the White Bone Sword.

Vigorously activating the Unyielding Sword Intent, he infused his whole body’s Spiritual Energy into the White Bone Sword. Behind Ye Chenfeng appeared a projection of black chains.

The projections of black chains swung continuously, their aura imperceptible to others, with none of the intent, Sword Qi, or momentum leaking out.

Ye Chenfeng swung the White Bone Sword at Jiang Anxiong.

"Black Lock of Sword Soul!"

Seventy to eighty black chains suddenly appeared in the air.

Previously, with the Qingyun Sword, only fifty to sixty black chains could manifest.

These black chains, like lightning, trailed black shadows in the air, rushing aggressively at Jiang Anxiong.

The black chains moved like swiftly swimming black snakes.

Exceptionally fast.

In just a blink of an eye, they closed in.

Facing the approaching black chains, Jiang Anxiong gathered Spiritual Energy defense as he tried to break these black chains.

Yet these black chains were incredibly agile.

They instantly wrapped around Jiang Anxiong from different directions.

At the moment they entangled Jiang Anxiong,

extreme Sword Intent, Sword Qi, and momentum burst from the black chains,

instantly shattering the Spiritual Energy defense around Jiang Anxiong.

The black chains tightened continuously.

Jiang Anxiong couldn’t break free at all, terror written all over his face. Under the ravage of Sword Qi and Sword Intent within the chains, his body was immediately skinned and flesh torn. He trembled and said, "You, you comprehended the Sword Soul? How could this be possible?"

Jiang Anxiong struggled madly, but the black chains were like a death god’s scythe; once around your neck, they would never leave.

Then, with a "bang!" sound,

the terror-stricken Jiang Anxiong only felt his body being squeezed more painfully, finally turning into countless blood mists in the sky.

The dignified Early Divine Venerate Jiang Anxiong died just like that!
