Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 452 - 451: I’ll take this Immortal Blade!
Spiritual power is an existence that is even higher in rank than Qi Force or even Spirit Essence, and while it is a metaphysical thing, invisible and untouchable, it truly exists. Under the envelopment of spiritual power, Ye Feng even felt like he could control everything, where nothing could hide from his sight.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, the thirty-six experts of the Tang Sect darted over the surface of the lake like swimming fish, rapidly changing their positions. What was more terrifying was that they each threw out hidden weapons which, under the sunlight, emitted a green glow indicating that they were coated with deadly poison. The barrage of hidden weapons, dense and overwhelming, was like a tempestuous storm.
What was the most troublesome was that these weren’t ordinary hidden weapons. If they were, no matter the quantity, they could be dispersed in an instant with the use of Qi Force martial skills or even a Qi Essence protective shield to fend off the weapons.
But the hidden weapons enhanced by the Seven Stars Grand Formation were different as the formation empowered them to change speed and direction mid-flight, and they could even suddenly accelerate, their piercing power terrifyingly formidable.
In the blink of an eye, to the onlookers, Ye Feng seemed to be engulfed by the myriad hidden weapons, at any moment ready to succumb.
Long Nannan couldn’t help getting anxious when she saw this, and she even prepared to rush down to assist.
Sausage Sister quickly grasped her, saying, "That’s enough, you girl; don’t be so impulsive. It’s just a little Seven Stars Grand Formation. At most, it has a lot of hidden weapons. What’s there to fear?"
"But right now, Little Martial Uncle is..." Long Nannan said.
Sausage Sister rolled her eyes, "Just relax, your Little Martial Uncle will be fine. At least with this first trial, it’s unlikely he’ll have any trouble. Otherwise, your grandfather probably wouldn’t have taken notice of him. Let’s just watch."
Hong Qingyan also nodded slightly, "Don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble for now. Even I can’t stop this first challenge, let alone Big Brother Ye. You should know that Big Brother Ye’s combat power is much stronger than ours."
"Stronger than both of us? That’s hardly certain," retorted Sausage Sister, her lips curving into a slight smile. Her expression clearly conveyed disagreement. After all, six months ago, she had firmly suppressed Ye Feng. Moreover, in the past half-year, her cultivation level had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Thus, Sausage Sister simply couldn’t believe that Ye Feng was stronger than her now. But how could she know that in this world, aside from geniuses, there were exceptional talents and even those monstrous beings of legend. A genius’s progress is significant, but a monster’s cultivation speed can often be described as advancing a thousand miles in a single day.
Obviously, Ye Feng belonged to that category of monster!
Hong Qingyan didn’t want to argue; she generally disliked arguing with others. Even if she was right, she still maintained good manners, merely smiling as she asked, "By the way, Sausage Sister, if it were you, would you be confident in passing these three trials?"
Sausage Sister pondered for a moment before replying, "The first two trials wouldn’t be too hard for me, even if the second trial is much more powerful, I have confidence in getting through. But the third trial, frankly, I don’t think I’d have much chance."
Hong Qingyan smiled, "But I think that Big Brother Ye has every chance of making it through all three."
"He’s fully capable of getting through the third trial?" Sausage Sister’s eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, I believe so, and I also know he has the strength!" Hong Qingyan nodded slightly.
"I also believe in him. My Little Martial Uncle is capable of anything!" Nannan chimed in cheerfully.
Sausage Sister rolled her eyes and didn’t speak. Of course, in her heart, she did not believe it. That’s why she had even thought out a contingency plan before setting out, which Old Long, her master, had quietly told her about before they left. That was also the reason why she could let Ye Feng step into the Buddhist Sect with such ease.
"Let’s hope so," Sausage Sister said with a light smile in the end. Naturally, she hoped that the contingency wouldn’t have to be used, as the side effects were far too grave and she didn’t want to rely on it unless absolutely necessary.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng seemed to have been entirely swamped by those hidden weapons. But in the next instant, something astonishing happened that left the crowd in shock. Ye Feng turned into a darting fish, continuously flipping through the air, avoiding the hidden weapons in an unbelievable and incredibly deft manner.
"He... he actually dodged them all, how is that possible!" The onlookers were astounded, and expressions of disbelief grew on every face.
"This is too freakish, he didn’t use any Qi Force to counterattack, he solely relied on his movement technique to dodge all the hidden weapons, such a dense and voluminous barrage. How did he achieve that, even a Powerhouse of the Divine Ability Realm might not be capable of this!"
"No, not just a Powerhouse of the Divine Ability Realm, perhaps even those in the Saint Realm might not be able to do it!" The surrounding crowd began to exclaim in amazement.
At that moment, atop a pair of mountain peaks, members of the Four Great Ancient Clans also had looks of astonishment on their faces.
Hong Tiandu couldn’t help but ask, "Cousin, if you were to try without using Spirit Essence, could you dodge these hidden weapons just with your movement speed?"
Hong Gaishi narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth. After a long pause, he said, "I could do it, but I doubt it would be as smooth as this kid. Could it be that he can foresee the trajectories of the hidden weapons?"
Upon saying this, Hong Gaishi’s entire body suddenly trembled, and his face drastically changed. He exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that this kid has already stepped into that ethereal and illusory realm? Impossible, how could he possibly have entered it!"
Hong Gaishi’s alarm was indeed extraordinary, after all, even he had only just begun to glimpse the threshold of that ethereal and illusory realm, yet he had always failed to find the pathway. In fact, even within the Ancient Hong Clan, only the great clan elder had reached that level. Therefore, he could not believe that Ye Feng had entered that realm no matter what.
Hong Tiandu was frightened by his cousin’s reaction and didn’t dare to speak until he saw the other’s emotions stabilize slightly. Then he timidly asked, "Cousin, what is that ethereal and illusory realm you just spoke of exactly?"
Hong Gaishi turned his head and glared at him, snorting coldly, "Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. That realm is not something you can touch now, or even something some people might never be able to touch in their entire lives. Do you understand what I mean?"
Hong Tiandu was frightened once again, but he didn’t dare to speak and could only nod his head with a forced smile.
Meanwhile, at the peak of another mountain, the Bu Family and others also showed shocked expressions. As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the technicalities. Obviously, these members of ancient clans recognized the extraordinary nature of Ye Feng’s actions.
"This child, his talent is against the heavens. If he can continue to grow, his future achievements will be boundless!" At this moment, an elder from an ancient clan, whose face was all covered, spoke from atop a small mountain.
"Indeed, his talent is too strong. He’s only how old? Not even thirty, right? Probably only about twenty-five or twenty-six and yet he has already entered that legendary level. Even we are not his match, it’s shameful, shameful!" Another elder from an ancient clan also sighed.
Compared to the Hong Clan and Bu Family, these two clans appeared much more low-profile and hidden. In fact, up to now, these two clans had never officially revealed themselves in the mortal world, and it was only because of the invitation from that sloppy old man with the big smoking pipe in the Northwest Little Mountain Village that they had to come to this Martial Arts World tournament.
"It seems Old Long has not chosen wrong, our Xuanyuan Nation has hope!" An elder from one of the ancient clans said.
Another ancient clan elder asked, "How is the situation on your side now? How much longer can the Heavenly Pillar hold?"
"There’s probably not much time left, at most twenty more years before the Heavenly Pillar will collapse. By then, we will no longer be able to manage the Alien Space-Time," the ancient clan elder replied.
"My side is more or less the same, I imagine the Great Wall of Heaven that Old Long is responsible for is in a similar situation. Twenty years, these twenty years alone, not to mention Xuanyuan Nation, but the entire world’s situation will change because of this, and even humanity will face an imminent catastrophe."
These two ancient clan elders sighed secretly, but they communicated using a secret technique, so naturally, no one around them could hear it, not even a personage like Hong Gaishi.
"Twenty years... I wonder if this Mr. Ye can turn the tide and preserve the legacy of our Xuanyuan Nation. To my knowledge, many of the great powers in the world are secretly training exceptionally strong individuals, so that they may lead their peoples out of the crisis when the dramatic changes come."
"Of course, not to mention others, aren’t our two clans also secretly nurturing such a figurehead? It’s just that compared to the youngster chosen by Old Long, we’re likely coming up short. It’s a pity, Hong Gaishi thinks his extraordinary talent makes him the strongest among the younger generation of the Four Great Ancient Clans, but little does he know, he can’t even compare to Ye Feng!"
The two ancient clan elders shook their heads and smiled slightly, then ended the topic.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng, under the control of his powerful spiritual power, saw these densely packed so-called hidden weapons as if their speed had slowed down. He could weave through them effortlessly.
In just a few breaths, Ye Feng had already reached the other side of the lake, almost about to break through it. Once he did, according to the prior agreement, he would be considered to have successfully passed the challenge, and the disciples of the Tang Sect would no longer be allowed to continue their attempts at stopping him.
However, at that moment, the thirty-six disciples of the Tang Sect seemed to realize that it was the final juncture. If they couldn’t stop him now, the reputation of their Tang Sect would be greatly damaged today. After all, if their thirty-six disciples couldn’t stop a single person with their Great Formation, how would the Tang Sect continue to stand in the Martial Arts World?
"Use the highest level of techniques!" Suddenly, the man in the red robe at the center of the formation shouted coldly, and as if a dragon’s roar erupted, a blue Immortal Blade rose into the sky.
This blue Immortal Blade, looking more like a dagger, however, was indestructible and its edge was revealed.
"That must be the legendary Immortal Blade of the Tang Sect. It’s said that this blade has its own spirit and is incredibly powerful," murmured the spectators all around upon seeing this scene.
"Condense!" The man leading the formation shouted coldly as his Qi Force surged out. Simultaneously, all thirty-five other Tang Sect disciples also exerted their Qi Force, which surged like a tidal wave into the Immortal Blade.
In an instant, the Immortal Blade burst forth with a dazzling blue light, a blue so bright it was hard to look at, especially the tip of the blade which brimmed with a Sky-breaking Power.
"Indeed, it’s an Immortal Blade!" Ye Feng, far from being panicked, was filled with excitement and he couldn’t help but shout, "I’ve set my sights on that Immortal Blade!"
"You certainly don’t lack confidence. In that case, let me show you the might of the Tang Sect’s Immortal Blade!"
With that, the leader of the Tang Sect’s formation waved his great hand, and the Immortal Blade instantly shot through the air towards its target.
