Chapter 515: Chapter 313: The Sword Shatters the Mental Block, Plot Character Yu Wen Baji

For some reason, Yu Wen Baji sensed that while the Sword Qi was powerful, it should have been a move he could handle with ease.

But the instant before it made contact, his spiritual senses blared with frantic warnings. He even began to see illusions as an overwhelming thought surfaced in his mind: ’He is unbeatable!’

Forced to retreat frantically, Yu Wen Baji could only watch as his Celestial Spirit Soul Suppressing Realm was effortlessly torn to shreds by the endless Sword Qi.

Yu Fei stood poised in midair, not even having drawn Zhanming.

"He’s clearly at the Gang Qi realm, so how can he fly? And what’s the deal with this Sword Qi?"

Yu Wen Baji was bewildered, unaware that Yu Fei had just come up with a novel idea: by continuously teleporting in the same spot, he could create the illusion of standing on empty air.

Seeing Yu Wen Baji didn’t dare to face his attack, Yu Fei knew he had the upper hand.

Ever since he had obtained Invincible Will, Yu Fei had slain many powerful foes. The suppression effect of its second ability was utterly terrifying.

He still remembered when he fought Lu Bufan. He had clearly felt that his opponent’s strength was limited, yet he found himself inexplicably hesitant to engage. He’d had to rely on his Bloodbath Tyrant Body’s ability to burn away negative emotions just to break free of the influence.

Thinking of this, he sneered at Yu Wen Baji.

"Xiaoji, it’s rude not to return a courtesy. Now you take a sword strike from me!"

He gave Yu Wen Baji no time to ponder the reason, determined to take him down while he was still reeling!

The words had barely left his lips when Yu Fei instantly appeared on all sides of Yu Wen Baji, summoning innumerable streams of Sword Qi that enveloped him layer by layer.

The lethal crisis made the veins on Yu Wen Baji’s temples bulge. His spiritual senses screamed warnings, and an unprecedented sense of mortal danger welled up in his heart.

At the critical moment, Yuwen screamed in terror and desperately unleashed his full power, barely managing to annihilate the Sword Qi.

However, such a frenzied counter left him wide open, and the unrestrained burst of power inevitably emptied his Qi Sea.

By the time he recovered, he felt a cold sensation on his neck. Unbeknownst to him, Yu Fei had already drawn Zhanming, its dark blue blade now pressed against his throat.

"You... have lost!"

Yu Fei’s gaze was placid as he looked at him. An unprecedented feeling of defeat welled up inside Yu Wen Baji.

For the first time in his life, he felt death’s cold embrace, his very existence hanging on another’s whim.

Panic, indignation, the relief of a survivor... A medley of emotions flickered across his face. In that moment, Yu Wen Baji had none of his usual arrogance.

Once that flamboyant, punk-rock facade was stripped away, Yu Wen Baji’s willpower proved to be surprisingly weak.

The powerful aura he had built by bullying and oppressing the weak was like a beautiful bubble; once popped, the backlash was inevitable.

If Yu Wen Baji’s abilities were truly so formidable, his targets would have been upperclassmen, not the underclassmen who had been training for far less time than him. That was why, under the suppression effect of Invincible Will, his seemingly powerful spirit was on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, the battlefield in Celestial Sword Gorge was completely silent. The great battle was over; the remaining Spider Demons, along with a large number of 7th-rank Yuan Demons, had been completely wiped out.

Members of the Brotherhood, unaffiliated squads just tagging along for the ride, the former Celestial Tiger Corps, the Celestial Pride Class—Martial Artists from every faction stared up at the two figures in the sky in stunned silence.

One was a Grandmaster, the other at the Gang Qi realm, yet they were the two strongest fighters on this battlefield.

To the uninformed, this conflict between sword and halberd seemed awkward and abrupt. Before Yu Wen Baji’s sneak attack, they had felt Yu Fei was going too far, using his bizarre abilities to constantly humiliate his opponent in a clear attempt to press his advantage.

But after Yu Wen Baji launched his sneak attack, the nature of the situation changed. No matter the circumstances, in a dispute between human Martial Artists, the one who attacks from the shadows would always face moral condemnation.

Crucially, Yu Wen Baji’s sneak attack had also failed, causing his reputation to plummet.

Seeing the looks of unconcealed joy on the faces of people from both the Brotherhood and the Celestial Pride Class, the onlookers instinctively felt there was more to this than met the eye!

Their keen instincts told them to make the wisest possible decision.

To watch the drama unfold!

"You! Have lost!"

Yu Fei’s words echoed across the field like a clear bell. Witnessing Yu Wen Baji’s public defeat at Yu Fei’s hands, Feng Hua suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of joy and relief, as if something inside her spirit had shattered and vanished without a trace.

Feng Hua let out a long sigh. The anxiety and inner turmoil were gone, and she had recovered her usual elegance.

But her sigh was unexpectedly loud, like air rushing from a bellows. Feng Hua turned in surprise to find that many others were sighing with the same sense of profound relief.

"Haha! The boss is still the most badass!"

Xiang Kun said with glee. For the past few days, it had felt like a heavy stone was weighing on his heart, but now it had been completely shattered, leaving him with an indescribable sense of relief.

Witnessing Yu Wen Baji’s defeat with their own eyes, the shadow he had cast over their hearts finally dissipated.

In fact, ever since Yu Fei had led them through Matie Road, he had become their hope and pillar of support. If he had lost to Yu Wen Baji, it would have dealt a fatal blow to the morale of the Celestial Pride Class, and the mental shackles Yu Wen Baji had placed on them would have grown even stronger.

The most dramatic reaction, however, came from the members of the Brotherhood.

Yu Fei saw an extremely young Grandmaster suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and rush forward to stand before them. His expression was one of rage mixed with unconcealable fear.

He first shot a grateful look at Yu Fei, then turned to glare viciously at Yu Wen Baji.

"Yuwen, I, Yu Zhou, used to respect you as a man of honor. That’s why I followed you after graduation. I never thought you would resort to such a shameful sneak attack. You’ve disappointed me immensely! From this day forward, before all these witnesses, I, Yu Zhou, officially withdraw from the Brotherhood! From now on, we are strangers. You walk your path, and I’ll walk mine. We will have nothing more to do with each other!"
