Chapter 491: Valley Rain

They weren’t weak in the slightest and with the 2 of them moving in unison, Shang Pei knew that a tough battle lay ahead. Luckily, she made her preparations.

She was extremely experienced when it came to fights. When they appeared earlier, she knew that she would only be able to find a chance to escape if she gave it her all and fought for her life.

Naturally, Ye Yifan and Zhang Luofei wouldn’t let her do as she wished.

Knowing that they held the upper hand, they were clearly unwilling to fight her head-on and risk her life. All they had to do was to drag the battle out to exhaust her. Too bad for them, that was exactly what Shang Pei wanted. She might be giving it her all to break through the encirclement, but the longer the fight dragged out, the more likely she would be able to find a chance to run.

Shang Pei stabbed her spear under her feet, shattering the pulling force that came was locking her in place. Unfortunately for her, her actions also shattered the space around her and the strange force acted upon her from all directions. Her body was pulled in every single direction and she failed to stabilize herself. She staggered about in mid air as though she was drunk, but at that moment, Zhang Luofei’s snowy waves arrived.

Unable to dodge the snowy waves, she could only counter it head-on.

Boom!

A flurry of snow scattered tens of miles away, covering the region in a blanket of white.

At that moment, every single cultivator in the Sixth Pass who was in the Martial Intent Realm or above, could tell that there was a massive battle going on.

The experts of the Five Peaks Alliance were no exceptions. They felt the shockwaves of the battle despite being a little over a hundred miles away and they stared at the skirmish that was going on All five of them had left their territories at that moment and they were gathered together. Standing at a safe distance, they continued to observe the situation.

“I’m afraid that the Youyan Chief is in a pretty bad spot this time…” Zhonggu muttered, with his words directed at Yin Wanxiang.

“Brother Wanxiang, do you think we should make our move? Once we save her, she won’t be able to reject our suggestion of joining our alliance.” Jiang Weiyun added.

.

“Wait… We’ll wait a little more.” Yin Wanxiang started to hesitate all of a sudden as though he was brooding over a huge decision.

A frown appeared on Zhonggu’s face as he growled, “There’s no need for us to waste any more time. Since we chose to save her in the past, we’ll just see things through and save her again! We shouldn’t wait for her to be forced into a desperate situation. Our actions will seem intentional then and we’ll look really bad…”

Jiang Weiyun glanced at Zhonggu with a raised eyebrow. He was thinking the exact same thing, but Zhonggu beat him to it.

The only reason he didn’t back Zhonggu up immediately was because both of them hadn’t exactly seen eye to eye since the formation of the Five Peaks Alliance. He didn’t speak out immediately and chose to remain silent now that Zhonggu brought up the matter.

However, the two of them eventually noticed that something strange was going on with Yin Wanxiang. The alliance leader had his eyebrows locked tightly together as he muttered to himself. “This doesn’t seem right… Why would she be intercepted by both of them at once? Something is fishy…”

Zhonggu and Jiang Weiyun looked at each other for a second before Jiang Weiyun spoke up, “Brother Wanxiang…”

“I get it!” Yin Wanxiang yelled suddenly.

Unable to hide his curiosity, Zhonggu asked, “What do you mean?”

With his expression changing slightly, he stared at Shang Pei, Ye Yifan, and Zhang Luofei and muttered, “It’s here!”

Zhonggu and Jiang Weiyun didn’t understand what he meant, but after a second, they seemed to discover the anomaly. They turned to stare at the void a hundred miles away and a look of shock was left on their faces.

…

After slamming into the waves of snow that were thrown her way, Shang Pei felt her consciousness trembling slightly. The barrier of extermination light around her turned really dim and it seemed to be on the verge of destruction.

However, Shang Pei forcefully endured the blow. Even if she had to suffer some internal injuries and would be forced to spit out a mouthful of blood, she chose to eat the attack. After all, that allowed her to prevent Ye Yifan from striker her for fear of getting caught up in Zhang Luofei’s attack.

During the months they had been hunting her down, they failed to corner her because of her vigilance. As such, they didn’t have many chances to work together. Now that they were fighting Shang Pei, they failed to cooperate well.

Shang Pei understood that the chances of them messing up and getting in each other’s way again would be hard to come by again. At the end of the day, they were seasoned experts in the Martial Extermination Realm. They noticed the problem and with several slight adjustments in the future, they would be able to complement each other’s fighting style.

When that happened, Shang Pei would be hard-pressed to break out of their encirclement.

Because of that, Shang Pei didn’t hesitate to take on Zhang Luofei’s attack even if she knew she had to suffer slightly.

Blocked by Zhang Luofei’s waves of snow and frost, Ye Yifan lost an amazing chance to attack Shang Pei. However, he wasn’t too discouraged at the moment. Glancing at Zhang Luofei who was wearing an awkward expression, he rushed in another direction to prevent Shang Pei from escaping while yelling, “Youyan Chief, you won’t be able to run away!”

Ignoring him, Shang Pei brandished her spear masterfully and smashed through all the obstruction of snow that was in her way. She seemed like she was about to break through from the encirclement, but Ye Yifan appeared in her way suddenly. He got ready to release a punch at her the moment she broke through.

At the exact same moment Shang Pei was about to emergy and Ye Yifan was ready to send a punch her way, a heaven-shaking change occurred.

Zhang Luofei’s snowy waves were based on his Zhang Clan’s rank four inheritance, the Icy Jade Palm. However, the snow seemed to melt in unison and it turned into water droplets in a single second.

Realizing that there was no way his technique could be broken so easily and suddenly, Zhang Luofei retreated hastily. At the same time, he released his divine perception to examine the area around him. Even after sweeping through his surroundings 8 to 10 times, he failed to discover what had happened.

Without the snowy waves to stop her, Shang Pei easily blew her way through the droplets of water.

The instant it happened, Ye Yifan released his punch with the energy he had been storing up for quite some time.

Surprisingly, the fist wasn’t aimed at Shang Pei. Instead, he turned around and sent it straight into the void behind him.

“Huh? You actually found me!” Shang Xia gasped as he was forced out from the void several miles behind Ye Yifan. He got ready to counter attack.

He might sound pretty casual when speaking earlier, but a serious look remained in his eyes. A four colored extermination light spun around in his palm and he slapped at the void in front of him.

The moment he slapped out, countless layers of space folded together before slamming into the fist created by Ye Yifan.

With a loud rumble followed by several deep explosions, the space between the newcomer and Ye Yifan was torn to shreds.

In the eyes of low leveled cultivators, the destruction of space at that level would seem as though the world was splitting apart.

Those spectating the battle miles away might not be weak enough to think that the mere fracturing of space indicated the end of the world, but even so, their expressions changed when they saw what had happened.

The river of heaven and earth qi that followed Ye Yifan’s fist intent was shattered in that instant as it couldn’t advance an inch further.

Any river that wasn’t flowing was nothing but a mere puddle. Ye Yifan gained his reputation as the Harmonious River Master a long time ago because of his rank four martial arts, the Racing Current Monarch Fist. He comprehended it on the river banks of the Harmonious River after a stroke of inspiration when observing the body of water. He was well known throughout the Taihang Mountains and the various continents in the surroundings because of the extraordinary power in his attacks.

Who would have thought that the famous fist intent would be stopped so easily? That wasn’t the worst part. The palm strike that stopped Ye Yifan’s fist intent didn’t stop there. The energy it contained wasn’t fully exhausted after obstructing Ye Yifan’s attack. A huge palm condensed in mid air and went straight for the man himself. It connected the next instant and Ye Yifan was sent flying.

…

More than a hundred miles away, the 3 members of the Five Peaks Alliance who had been watching the battle fell silent.

A moment later, Jiang Weiyun finally spoke. “Brother Wanxiang, how would you have dealt with Ye Yifan’s fist intent?”

After thinking for some time, Yin Wanxiang shook his head and muttered, “If I went all out, I would be able to destroy his fist intent. However, if I want to slap him through the air and send him flying after…”

Yin Wanxiang couldn’t help but sigh softly as he continued to shake his head. His meaning couldn’t be more obvious.

On the other side, Zhonggu was still a little doubtful and he muttered, “Brother Wanxiang, you’re at the fourth layer Martial Extermination Realm. Could that kid really be as strong as you?”

Jiang Weiyun pressed his lips together and shot Zhonggu a dirty stare, chiding him for what he was implying.

Yin Wanxiang, who was standing between the two of them, didn’t really take his words to heart. Instead, he started to mutter to himself, “Young Master Shang’s extermination origins seem a little strange…”

Despite hearing his words, a trace of disapproval flashed across Zhonggu’s face as he didn’t think that Shang Xia was as strong as they think.

…

“Shang Xia…” Zhang Luofei finally noticed Shang Xia after Ye Yifan was sent flying.

However, he wasn’t too flustered even with Shang Xia’s appearance. He was a little stronger than Ye Yifan and he felt that his ability to flee was also a notch higher.

Now that the situation had turned bad for him, he turned around decisively to flee.

Back when the two of them joined hands to hunt Shang Pei down, they did so because of convenience’s sake. There was no way they would risk their life for each other and now that things were going south, Zhang Luofei decided to run away alone. Ye Yifan was left to fend for himself.

What no one noticed was Shang Xia’s face turning a little pale after sending out that one strike. Zhang Luofei didn’t see it, Shang Pei failed to notice anything off, and neither did Yin Wanxiang and the others.

With Shang Xia’s appearance, Shang Pei could finally vent her frustrations. They had been chasing her for the past 2 months relentlessly. Now that the tables have turned, Shang Pei wouldn’t let them run away easily!

Seeing how Zhang Luofei wanted to run, Shang Pei wanted to ignore her injuries to give chase. However, she was quickly stopped by Shang Xia.

“Third Aunt, we shouldn’t chase a cornered enemy!” Shang Xia’s gentle warning came from behind her.

She stopped abruptly after hearing Shang Xia speak. She could hear the slight trace of weakness hidden within.

When she was stuck at a loss of what to do, Ye Yifan also gathered his thoughts after being slapped. Despite the extreme pain he was feeling, he also tried to escape.

“Are we also going to let this guy escape?” Shang Pei had been holding on forcefully earlier. Because of Shang Xia’s warning earlier, her thoughts cleared up slightly and her desire to battle was quenched slightly. The aura around her also became slightly weaker.

“Of course we can’t let this guy get away.” Shang Xia’s tone turned chilly all of a sudden and he flicked his sleeves violently.

The water droplets that remained in the air due to Zhang Luofei’s technique earlier were blown away in that instant. Without the annoyance in their way, Shang Xia and Shang Pei started to give chase.

Because of his injuries, Ye Yifan’s speed was severely impacted. He only ran slightly more than 4 miles when he felt water droplets falling on him.

A sudden realization dawned on him that those were no ordinary water droplets as his clothes were starting to dot away.

The droplets that were falling on him were like little blades. In fact, it was slightly more appropriate to call them tiny strands of blade qi. After tearing through his clothes, they started to cut into his bare body.

Disregarding his injuries, he quickly released his extermination origins to form a layer of protection around himself. It might have stopped those blade qi from stabbing into him, but his inner qi was also being used up at a rapid rate.

Several miles away, Shang Pei stood beside Shang Xia and stared at the blade qi rain falling on Ye Yifan. When Ye Yifan’s inner qi was finally exhausted, the protection he put up disappeared. The blade qi continued to rain down on him and they sliced up his body bit by bit. Even his bones and organs weren’t spared as they were cut down to nothingness.

A frown appeared on Shang Pei’s face as she asked, “What did you just do?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Shang Xia muttered, “It’s a new blade move I created. It’s called ‘Valley Rain’.”

“Valley Rain? Why didn’t I see you swinging your blade when you unleashed the move?” Shang Pei continued to ask.

“I did it when I shattered the waves of snow earlier.” Shang Xia replied.

Shang Pei coughed lightly and mentioned, “Oh… Anyway, your blade move seems a little disgusting…”

“Oh? Oh yeah. Right… It is a little…” Shang Xia sighed softly after seeing how the blade qi ate through Ye Yifan’s entire body.
