Chapter 458: Great Harvest
As Ye Feng moved, the crimson Purgatory Slash cut its way through.
The Dragon Shadows unleashed by the Ghost Cultivator were shattered one by one, collapsing in an instant.
Simultaneously, the Ghost Cultivator's body retreated repeatedly, eyes filled with shock.
The Ghost Cultivator had initially been contemplating avenging past humiliations by defeating Ye Feng in one move, but he could never have imagined such an outcome.
Even though he had become strong enough, even though he was highly confident he could defeat Ye Feng, reality still dealt him a cruel blow.
'Defeated! Why did I lose to him?' Overwhelmed with unwillingness, the Ghost Cultivator couldn't understand why he had once again lost to Ye Feng.
"Die for me!" As for Ye Feng, he charged towards the Ghost Cultivator with unstoppable momentum, sword poised to strike.
The Ghost Cultivator, already on the verge of collapse, was left utterly defenseless against Ye Feng's Purgatory Slash.
By the time the Ghost Cultivator realized his peril, Ye Feng's sword had already struck him.
"Hiss~" After a sharp intake of breath, the Ghost Cultivator quickly dodged.
Though the Ghost Cultivator moved swiftly, the sword still cut into him.
With that strike, the Godslaying Sword vibrated with excitement.
The heavy injury to the Ghost Cultivator further enhanced the power of the Godslaying Sword.
Moreover, it wasn't just the power; even the Sword Spirit received a significant boost.
'What is happening?' Feeling the change in the Sword Spirit, Ye Feng was slightly surprised.
Ye Feng could understand the immense increase in the power of the Godslaying Sword.
But, based on past experiences, such a substantial upgrade for the Sword Spirit shouldn't have occurred.
"This time, I won't let you escape." Yet Ye Feng did not ponder further, coldly gazing at the Ghost Cultivator.
The Ghost Cultivator was an enemy of Ye Feng, one that needed to be eradicated.
Furthermore, after killing the Ghost Cultivator, the enhancement to the Godslaying Sword would be even more terrifying, perhaps even advancing another level.
Thus, Ye Feng was eager to finish off the Ghost Cultivator in one swift stroke.
"You're strong, but if you want to kill me, you're not quite there yet." However, the Ghost Cultivator sneered.
As the Ghost Cultivator sneered, a dense black mist enveloped his surroundings, and once the mist dispersed, the Ghost Cultivator had vanished without a trace.
The Ghost Cultivator seemed to have disappeared like a ghost.
"This... this guy sure knows some tricks." Seeing this, Ye Feng shook his head in frustration.
Originally, he had been confident in eliminating the Ghost Cultivator, but unexpectedly, the Ghost Cultivator managed to escape; it was truly a miscalculation.
"Is he really only an Intermediate Martial Venerable? He actually drove away someone nearing Martial God Level?"
"This strength is truly abnormal, and his talent is terrifying."
"Where did this guy come from? I don't remember anyone like him in the hidden families?"
Seeing the Ghost Cultivator fleeing miserably, everyone watched Ye Feng with a sense of incredulity.
To them, the Ghost Cultivator was already strong, but they didn't expect him to be defeated by an Intermediate Martial Venerable, which was truly astonishing.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye really did it, Mr. Ye is terrifying!" Feng Gu and others exclaimed excitedly, then rushed towards Ye Feng.
"Darling, you're amazing." Among them, the most excited was Situ Jing, who directly lunged at Ye Feng.
While Ye Feng and the others cheered with excitement, the others around looked at the Spiritbond Fruit and swallowed hard.
In their hearts, they were greedy, wanting to claim the Spiritbond Fruit for themselves.
However, not a single person dared to make a move.
Kidding, Ye Feng possessed a power nearing Martial God Level, who would dare to act with him standing there? Unless they had a death wish.
"You two, go dig up the Spiritbond Fruit Tree." Ye Feng glanced at the crowd and instructed.
"Yes!" Although a bit puzzled, Feng Gu and Old Gong nodded obediently.
As for Ye Feng, he approached the Spirit Beast.
At this moment, the Spirit Beast was already on the brink of death, and Ye Feng prepared to finish it off.
This Spirit Beast was a half-step Martial God Spirit Beast; by killing it, the Godslaying Sword was sure to upgrade.
So, Ye Feng didn't hesitate to cut down.
Quickly, Ye Feng delivered two swift strikes.
Before finishing off the Spirit Beast, he managed an extra strike due to his swiftness, achieving his aim.
The top Third Grade Spirit Artifact!
The initial Third Grade Spirit Artifact!
As Ye Feng delivered two swift cuts, the Godslaying Sword vibrated with excitement, and its grade increased to an initial Third Grade Spirit Artifact.
Third Grade, finally Third Grade.
Since gaining the Godslaying Sword, Ye Feng had finally raised its grade from the previous Second Grade to Third Grade, a raise by one grade, with a significant increase in power.
With a Third Grade Godslaying Sword, the Seven-Star Flying Sword was nothing but a child in comparison, not worth mentioning.
Meanwhile, Old Gong and Feng Gu had already dug up the Spiritbond Fruit Tree, with the dozens of Spiritbond Fruits untouched.
The Spiritbond Fruit was already ripe and could be consumed, and the effect would be excellent.
However, Ye Feng did not pluck the Spiritbond Fruits but instead planted the entire tree inside the Ancient Jade Gourd.
In this way, the Spiritbond Fruit was no longer anything rare for Ye Feng.
Although the Spiritbond Fruit Tree took thirty years to bloom, thirty years to bear fruit, and thirty years to mature.
But inside the Ancient Jade Gourd, one day was equivalent to a year, so the next batch would mature in just three months.
After collecting the fruit tree, Ye Feng led Feng Gu and the others to leave indifferently, amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd around.
At the same time, Ye Feng provocatively glanced at the crowd, as if to say: 'If you have the guts, come and take it; who knows, it might become yours.'
Even though Ye Feng was very arrogant, no one dared to make a move, as they were utterly terrified by Ye Feng's formidable strength.
"Let's go! Such a great treasure, and yet we have no share in it."
"This young man is truly abnormal, how on earth does he cultivate?"
"Why didn't I join their team? With so many Spiritbond Fruits, there surely would have been some for me, right?"
"Ah!"
After Ye Feng and the others had left, only then did these people let out a string of sighs, shaking their heads as they walked away.
Even without the Spiritbond Fruits, this world held many opportunities, many treasures waiting for them to discover.
….
Meanwhile, in a certain corner, accompanied by a flash of black light, the Ghost Cultivator landed on the ground, looking rather disheveled and with a difficult expression.
"I vow not to be human if I don't avenge this hatred, you damn wait for me." Staring in the direction where Ye Feng was, the Ghost Cultivator gritted his teeth and roared with anger.
At the same time, he was deeply fearful of Ye Feng's terrifying power.
He never expected that in such a short time, Ye Feng would become so frightful and powerful; had it not been for the Escape Secret Technique, he might have perished at Ye Feng's hands.
Remembering Ye Feng's terrifying strength, the Ghost Cultivator displayed a serious expression and began planning a series of strategies against Ye Feng….
