Chapter 100

"Brat, you’re facing death, yet you still dare to act so calm. Fine, I’ll grant your wish!"

The Iron-Handed Thief saw the black-robed youth, who still stood calmly with the rusty sword on his back.

Instantly, a surge of inexplicable anger welled up inside him.

Who gave this brat the courage to look down on him like this?

"Die!"

The Iron-Handed Thief suddenly extended his metal arm, reaching directly for the black-robed youth.

"Bang!"

But at that very moment, the black-robed youth suddenly stretched out a hand and, in an instant, grabbed the Iron-Handed Thief’s metal arm.

The collision produced a dull, booming sound.

The Iron-Handed Thief’s indestructible metal arm came to an abrupt halt in mid-air.

"What?!"

In that instant, countless onlookers were stunned.

What kind of existence was this black-robed youth, who could simply extend a hand and pin down the Iron-Handed Thief’s strongest metal arm?

But the one most shocked was the Iron-Handed Thief himself.

He knew all too well the immense power of his metal arm.

But just now, the Iron-Handed Thief felt as if he had struck not a human hand, but a wall of copper and iron!

"You…!"

Seeing the calm expression on the black-robed youth’s face, the Iron-Handed Thief finally realized he had provoked an existence he should not have.

But he was very puzzled—how could there be such a terrifying young powerhouse in Taiyuan City?

"Boom!"

The Iron-Handed Thief burst with a surge of energy, instantly retreating and running away: "The green mountains remain, and the clear waters flow. Brat, we’ll meet again…"

Clang!

A sharp, ear-piercing sword cry suddenly rang out.

In the next moment, everyone saw the black-robed youth draw the rust-covered sword from his back and slash fiercely in the direction the Iron-Handed Thief was fleeing.

"Boom!!"

Instantly, a terrifying sword aura and light filled the air.

The Iron-Handed Thief’s fleeing body froze in place.

A bloodline appeared on the back of his neck.

Then, with a "thud,"

The Iron-Handed Thief’s head fell from his neck.

His body also collapsed to the ground.

One sword!

Just one sword!

The Iron-Handed Thief, dead!

Everyone was dumbfounded, standing in place, too shocked to speak.

At this moment, Ye Feng, who looked as if he had just killed an insignificant ant, remained calm. He walked to where the Iron-Handed Thief lay and took the storage ring from the thief’s finger.

Of course, he also took the storage ring from Chu Changge’s body.

The wealth on both of them was substantial, giving Ye Feng a significant windfall.

He turned and, in the stunned gazes of the crowd, walked away, his black robe billowing, exuding mystery and grace, until he disappeared at the end of the next street.

Only then did everyone let out a deep breath, feeling the oppressive atmosphere slowly dissipate.

"That black-robed youth, his sword skills are terrifying. Could he be a disciple of the legendary Sword Sect?"

Someone asked, their eyes filled with awe.

Because everyone felt that only from the massive Sword Sect could such a terrifying young genius emerge.

"The Iron-Handed Thief was really unlucky to provoke such an existence."

"Yes, he was killed with just one sword. It was so fast, I didn’t even react before the Iron-Handed Thief was dead."

Everyone exclaimed, looking at the Iron-Handed Thief’s corpse, feeling a sense of relief.

...

After leaving the battle area, Ye Feng found an inn in Taiyuan City and checked in.

Over the next few days,

With the powerful medicinal effects and the special golden true qi derived from the Creation Divine Technique,

Ye Feng’s recovery was incredibly fast.

In just a few short days, he had fully restored his previous peak cultivation.

And as Ye Feng had guessed, after recovering his cultivation and experiencing the trials of life and death, his realm directly broke through to the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

"It’s time to advance to the Divine Martial Realm."

Ye Feng murmured.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Hum."

Ye Feng took out a pill from his storage ring, emitting a faint golden light.

It was the Nine-Transmutation Golden Pill.

"Swallow!"

Without any hesitation, he swallowed the Nine-Transmutation Golden Pill.

In the next moment, Ye Feng immediately felt a powerful surge of medicinal energy.

Like a flood, it exploded in his limbs and bones, then疯狂地融入他的每一寸血肉和筋骨之中。

他穿着的整件黑色长袍此时无风自动，黑色长发在空中狂舞，他看上去充满了强大的威势。

整整三天三夜，叶风都在这客栈的厢房中闭关修炼，全力炼化九转金丹的药力。

终于，在第四天的清晨，叶风身上的气势消失了。

不，不应该叫消失，而是深深地收敛进了自己的身躯中。

他的修为，终于在这一刻成功踏入神武境，神武境一重天！

这一次，叶风甚至没有借助脑海中那颗金色神丹中的磅礴灵气，就直接突破了。

叶风瞬间站起身，眼神明亮，瞳孔深处有银光闪烁。

“咚咚咚。”

就在这时，厢房外突然响起了一阵敲门声。

伴随着这道敲门声，门外响起了一道恭敬的声音：“公子应该在吧，冒昧打扰，我们太元城城主有请公子前去城主府坐一坐。”

“城主府的人？”

屋内，叶风听到门外的声音，顿时眼神露出一道疑惑之色。

太元城的城主？

要邀请自己到城主府去坐一坐？

但自己和这个什么太元城城主，貌似根本不认识。

不过叶风还是打开了门。

他看到门外，正站着一个带刀侍卫。

这个带刀侍卫此时看到叶风出现了。

虽然他已经知道叶风非常年轻。

此时看着那仿佛还带着一丝稚嫩之气的少年面孔。

这个带刀侍卫还是忍不住倒吸了一口冷气。

就是这个少年，一剑干掉了铁手大盗！

太不可思议了！

眼前的黑袍身影，如此年轻。

叶风看到面前这个带刀侍卫脸上的惊讶表情，忍不住问道：“怎么？你认识我？”

带刀侍卫顿时使劲摇了摇头，道：“我不认识公子，之前也没有和公子见过面，但是现在公子的威名，已经传遍了整个太元城。”

In that moment, Ye Feng stood up, his eyes bright, and a silver light flickered in the depths of his pupils.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Suddenly, a series of knocks sounded from outside the room.

Along with the knocking, a respectful voice called out from the door: "Sir, you should be here. I apologize for the disturbance, but the mayor of Taiyuan City has invited you to visit the mayor’s residence."

"Mayor’s residence?"

Inside the room, Ye Feng’s eyes showed a hint of confusion upon hearing the voice from outside.

The mayor of Taiyuan City?

Inviting him to visit the mayor’s residence?

But he and the mayor of Taiyuan City didn’t seem to know each other at all.

However, Ye Feng still opened the door.

He saw a sword-wielding guard standing outside.

The guard, upon seeing Ye Feng,

Although he already knew Ye Feng was very young,

Looking at the slightly youthful face of the youth,

The guard couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.

This youth, who had killed the Iron-Handed Thief with one sword!

It was too incredible!

The black-robed figure before him was so young.

Seeing the surprised expression on the guard’s face, Ye Feng couldn’t help but ask, "What? Do you know me?"

The guard immediately shook his head vigorously and said, "I don’t know you, Sir. I’ve never met you before, but your reputation has already spread throughout all of Taiyuan City."
