Chapter 96: The Dark Night with a Sword

Chapter 96 – Bringing a Dagger in the Dark Night
Chen Fei listened to the voices in the next courtyard, picking the Thousand Snow Bamboo with his dagger and turning his head to look at Chi De Feng.

“I’ve heard of it, but haven’t actually seen it.”

Chi De Feng looked at the Thousand Snow Bamboo in the box, his brows furrowed as he said, “If it’s really the Thousand Snow Bamboo, then the efficacy is indeed the same as what he said. And this Thousand Snow Bamboo is extremely precious, it’s usually hard for ordinary people to see it.”

Chen Fei nodded and wrapped the entire box with a piece of deer skin. Chen Fei decided that afterward, when he returned to the sect, he would ask Feng Xiupu about it to see if there were any problems.

At the same time, Chen Fei recounted what had just happened to Chi De Feng.

“This is not like martial arts, do you know what it is?” Chen Fei asked in a low voice.

Whether it was Si Yinan’s illusions or Si Yuanhai’s dozen or so of tricky hands, each of them were very different from the usual martial arts methods that one would see, which made Chen Fei very curious.

Chi De Feng frowned and kept recalling what he had seen in the books earlier, then his eyes lit up slightly.

“Back then, in an ancient book, there was a type of person recorded. They were born not practicing martial arts, nor were they able to cultivate martial arts, instead, they captured guile, sealed it into their bodies, and used the Imperial Guile as a means of fighting against the enemy on weekdays.”

“Imperial Guile?”

Chen Fei was a bit shocked, weirdness and human beings were two positive and negative sides, as long as they touched, it would be the demise of one side as the final result.

Nowadays, there were people who could capture the weirdness and seal it into their bodies, which somewhat overturned Chen Fei’s cognition.

“Yes, the Imperial Guile. However, this kind of Imperial Guile’s means is extremely restrictive, and aside from the requirements of their innate physique, their lifespan is generally not very long.” Chi De Feng thought for a moment and said.

“Because of the guile?”

“Yes!”

Chi De Feng nodded and said, “Because they are sealing the bizarre in their body and releasing it when they are fighting against the enemy, this is a huge load on their body every time they use it. And they don’t cultivate martial arts, they are actually just ordinary people, where can they carry such a loss.”

Chi De Feng hesitated for a moment and continued, “I heard that at the end of the day, those shenanigans will directly break through their bodies and eat the host.”

Chen Fei’s eyebrows twitched slightly, this was really kinda like a road of no return. However, Chen Fei recalled the state of Si Yinan and Si Yuanhai, there was no appearance of attrition at all, especially Si Yuanhai’s age, looking already very old, and there was no appearance of collapsing.

Chi De Feng also thought of the scene he had just seen, and couldn’t help but smile, “The ones I know, I have seen from books, either the person who wrote the book only knows half of it, or the skill of the Royal Guile has developed better over the years.”

Chen Fei nodded and did not dwell on this issue.

What Chen Fei thought more about nowadays was how he should deal with such an enemy when he encountered it in the future.

When the opponent evoked the weirdness against the enemy, it was actually all fine, for example, the means that Si Yuanhai had just executed, Chen Fei still had other ways to cope with it.

But this tactic of dragging into the illusion realm between noises was too insurmountable, the meditation skill that Chen Fei used to rely on, although it finally helped Chen Fei break through the illusion realm, it was too slow.

Moreover, it was obvious that Si Yinan’s means were still limited, so Chen Fei was able to see the breakthrough. But what if other Imperial Guile masters with stronger abilities, could Chen Fei break through so quickly?

“This Heart Cleansing Skill should be upgraded as well, go back within the sect’s hidden scriptures and take a look, perhaps there will be a gain.” Chen Fei’s mind spun with thoughts.

As night fell, the courtyard returned to quiet.

Chen Fei sat cross-legged in his room, constantly running the Tong Yuan Gong. However, unlike before when he was fully committed to cultivation, knowing that there was a family of Imperial Guile practitioners living next to him, Chen Fei was still slightly wary in his heart, even if they did not show any malicious intent.

“Last time, Chi De Feng even said that on the way to Immortal Cloud City next door, he encountered the Guile. It’s just that I don’t know if this kind of Imperial Guile Masters are still good at those tactics when faced with real weirdness.”

Chen Fei murmured in his heart, thoughts spinning in his mind, but it didn’t affect the cultivation of his gongfu.

Suddenly, Chen Fei stopped the cultivation of his gongfu and opened his eyes at once, looking outside the house.

Just a moment ago, Chen Fei sensed an aura flashing past from outside the house, very fast, and the aura was extremely faint, the kind that would make one subconsciously think that it was an illusion.

Chen Fei frowned slightly, carrying the long sword in his hand, he opened the door of the house and looked outside the compound.

The moon star was thin, the compound where Chen Fei was located was in a relatively remote location within the Immortal Cloud City, the streets outside had also quieted down at the moment, thus at the moment, apart from some insect songs, the entire world seemed extremely quiet.

Chen Fei walked out of the house and took a look around, there was nothing unusual, only the evening breeze of the summer night was blowing gently, making people drowsy.

“Dang!”

Chen Fei stumbled, and his entire body directly collapsed onto the ground, making sounds of sound sleep.

After a few moments, two figures appeared in the middle of the compound, looking at Chen Fei who had fallen into a coma on the ground.

“Senior sister, it seems like an ordinary alchemist, nothing different.”

Bi Lan glanced at Chen Fei and used a bit of Soul Severing Incense, this little alchemist who was only at the Calcined Bone Realm was immediately struck. However, the Soul Severing Incense had a strange effect even for the Viscera Practicing Realm, and now that it was like this, it wasn’t unusual.

Shi Xueqin didn’t say anything, her gaze fixed on the side of Chen Fei’s face.

Today at the Zhao family residence, Shi Xueqin felt a hint of familiarity with Chen Fei. After having someone investigate later, he found out that Chen Fei was from the Yuan Chen Sword Sect.

Thinking of the Yuan Chen Sword Faction, Shi Xueqin thought of the person she had encountered that night, who was also at the Calcined Bone Realm, but had nearly killed her.

That was the closest Shi Xueqin had come to death, clearly treating the other party as prey, but in the end, she was almost pounced upon by the prey instead. For this incident, Shi Xueqin’s impression was too deep.

After so many days had passed, the injury on her chest had yet to improve, and every time she bathed and changed her medicine, Shi Xueqin couldn’t help but grit her teeth.

“Is he his real face, or is he a disguised look?” Shi Xueqin turned her head to look at Bi Lan, she did not know the art of disguise, and had been using a human skin mask, thus she could not tell whether the others had been disguised or not.

Bi Lan, on the other hand, was the opposite, with a high level of skill in disguise, having reached the point of being able to distinguish the real from the fake, and knowing at a glance whether or not the others were using disguise.

“True face.” Bilan looked at it and smiled.

Shi Xueqin recalled that face from that night, it was completely different from the one in front of her, and there was no point in which the body type was the same. It was just that Shi Xueqin wasn’t sure if the face she saw was real or not.

“Senior sister, what will happen to him now? Do we need to tie him back and torture him?” Bi Lan asked.

“No need to ask, just kill him.”

Shi Xueqin shook her head and coldly said. Although he wasn’t sure if it was the same person from the beginning, since it was Yuan Chen Sword Sect and Calcined Bone Realm, with so many coincidences, he would just kill it directly.

As for killing the wrong person, when did Shi Xueqin ever care about such things.

“Good!”

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Bi Lan’s face as she dashed to Chen Fei and grabbed at his neck. When Bi Lan killed, she wished to break people’s necks directly, she liked to hear that sound of bones crunching.

It was fascinating!
“How can you kill people indiscriminately!” A brittle voice rang out, Si Yinan appeared on the courtyard wall at an unknown time, looking down and exclaiming.

Chen Fei, who was lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, almost vomited blood due to the clash of strengths. Just now, he was thinking of coming with such a sword after Bi Lan got close, but he didn’t expect Si Yinan to appear.

“Where did the little girl come from, so cute looking, let sister take a look.”

Bi Lan’s hand reaching for Chen Fei’s neck lurched and looked up at Si Yinan, a sardonic smile could not help but appear on her face.

“You’re smiling so badly, you’re a bad person!”

Si Yinan beamed a bit, and her eyes released eye-catching silver light all of a sudden. Bi Lan, who was about to rush towards Si Yinan, his footsteps stopped for a moment, and his eyes actually slowly closed.

Shi Xueqin somewhat surprised to look at Si Yinan, and then his eyes blossomed with eye-catching colors, the Royal Eerie Body, was actually seen by her here.

The Sect had been searching for such an alien body, but after rummaging around Immortal Cloud City, not a single one had been found. And looking in other cities was also a long way off.

Unexpectedly, today, when she had come here casually, she had encountered such a surprise.

As long as this foreign body is brought back to the Sect, the Sect will surely reward her greatly. At that time, Shi Xueqin had every hope of crossing over the Viscera Practicing Realm and becoming a strong practitioner at the Orifice Practicing Realm.

God refining and body refining, a difference of one word, a world of difference.

“Snort!”

Shi Xueqin’s mind had just turned to thoughts when a silver light lit up in the courtyard, and Chen Fei, who had been unconscious on the ground, had stood up at some point and stabbed Bilan’s head with a sword.

To his death, Bi Lan’s eyes were tightly closed, and there wasn’t even any pain on his face, completely immersed in the illusion.

Shi Xueqin looked towards Chen Fei, her eyes narrowed slightly, Chen Fei’s pretense, which she hadn’t realized just now, was incredible. A Calcined Bone Realm that hid its own qi and blood power so deeply?
First a foreign body, then finding Chen Fei like this, one accident after another.

“You’re that person from the other night, aren’t you!”

Shi Xueqin’s gaze was dead on Chen Fei, the same would pretend, the same insidiousness, the same sect the same cultivation, so many coincidences concentrated together, then it was no longer a coincidence.

“Can you control her?”

Chen Fei did not answer Shi Xueqin’s words, but instead asked Si Yinan.

Bi Lan’s cultivation was not weak, at the peak of the Marrow Training Realm, comparable to Guo Lingshan’s realm. But it was this that was killed by Chen Fei’s sword just now.

Even if it was a sneak attack as Chen Fei had originally anticipated, it definitely wouldn’t have been able to go this smoothly, but because of Si Yinan’s help, everything had become easier.

“Can’t control it, she’s too strong.”

Si Yinan shook his head and said, “And I’ve already helped you once, let’s just forget about this afternoon, goodbye!”

Si Yinan said, with a flip, returned to the middle of his compound.

Chen Fei was stunned, this is considered a bear child, right? How can you just leave when you say leave, you have helped me kill the other party’s people, walking away like this, not afraid of others’ retaliation?

Shi Xueqin’s face revealed a cold smile, his body flashed, appeared in front of Chen Fei, his hand curved knife flung, toward Chen Fei’s neck rolled.

“Clang!”

With a muffled sound, the Starry Night Sword Shield shattered open, and Chen Fei’s entire body was hit by the tremendous force, smashing into the courtyard wall, encrusted within.

“It’s really you!”

Seeing the Starry Night Sword Shield, the hatred in Shi Xueqin’s eyes exploded at once, and just as she was about to rush up and kill Chen Fei, a pair of miserable white palms suddenly appeared and grabbed onto Shi Xueqin’s ankles.
