Chapter 1273 - 1272: Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip

Swish.

In just an instant, that figure which had plunged straight down into the white mist of the abyss shot back up again, and under his arm he seemed to be carrying someone.

That figure flew out of the abyss and landed on the platform of Heaven-Stealing Peak, and everyone saw that the figure was actually none other than City Lord Wan Guohai.

Wan Guohai was carrying someone in his hand—it was precisely Wan Jingyuan, who had just fallen into the abyss.

Wan Jingyuan had taken a palm strike from Lin Fei; not only had his Dantian been crippled, he had also fallen unconscious due to his heavy injuries.

Wan Guohai carefully laid his unconscious son on the ground.

Then Wan Guohai stood up, his gaze falling on Lin Fei, and a hatred and fury beyond description radiated from his body.

"Lin Fei, you actually destroyed my son's Cultivation. I'll make you pay back that debt with ten times the pain!" Wan Guohai pointed at Lin Fei, his vast wrath shrouding the entire Heaven-Stealing Peak platform.

Lin Fei felt no regret for crippling Wan Jingyuan's martial arts, because this Wan Jingyuan, in order to ascend to the new Sect Leader's seat, had stopped at nothing, repeatedly killing Qiu Qiming's family, and even slaughtering all the experts at the Wan Family Manor in Thousand Dragon City, pushing all the blame onto Lin Fei.

Faced with such a sinister and vicious person, Lin Fei naturally would show no mercy.

"City Lord Wan, there's no need to be enraged. This is the city-wide tournament; injuries and deaths during a match are inevitable." Lin Fei replied calmly.

Wan Guohai said in a deep voice, "Good, good, good, I nearly forgot, the city-wide tournament still isn't over. My son suffering such a heavy blow is indeed because his skills were lacking. In that case, let me have a taste of your martial arts myself."

As his words fell, a slender streak of light lashed out from Wan Guohai's hand, jingling as it went, and there was a loud crack in mid-air, like a thunderclap exploding—so shocking that even the air shook three times in succession.

The slender streak of light fell to the ground; it was actually a whip seven or eight meters long.

The whip was as thick as a thumb, round and solid, its surface gleaming with a metallic luster like steel. On the long whip hung a series of golden and silver bells—nine in total—spaced evenly along its length.

"The Wan family's eldest young master has had his Cultivation destroyed; the City Lord is already burning with rage and is actually willing to personally enter the field!"

"In that case, the City Lord's words last year about withdrawing from the city-wide tournament no longer hold."

"That long whip in the City Lord's hand, strung with nine golden and silver bells, seems to be the number one Magical Artifact of Ten Thousand Swords City, the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip?"

"That's right, this is indeed the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip, a Fifth Grade Saint-level Magical Artifact, enough to pose a certain level of threat even to a Saint Ancestor Fifth Layer expert. It's far more powerful than Young Master Wan's Snow Shadow Sword."

"Exactly. Those nine bells—when they are shaken, they can make a person's mind grow hazy, the world feel turned upside down. And that long whip is made from the tendons of a thousand-year black serpent from the Great Marsh, impervious to water and fire, with astonishing stretch and contraction, able to extend up to ten times its length!"

"City Lord Wan is personally taking the field, and he has such a mighty Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip in his hand. No matter how strong Lin Fei is, he's bound to lose without a doubt."

On the surrounding mountain platforms and pavilions, all the Cultivators erupted into discussion. They all felt that with Wan Guohai personally stepping in, and wielding such a terrifying Saint-level Magical Artifact, Lin Fei had almost no chance of winning.

On the Heaven-Stealing Peak platform, Qiu Qiming, Yuan Yuxi and the others had been overjoyed to see Lin Fei defeat Wan Jingyuan, but when they saw the City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords City personally take the field to fight Lin Fei, their hearts inevitably rose to their throats again.

Lin Fei looked at the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip in Wan Guohai's hand, and he could clearly feel the bone-chilling cold aura radiating from that steel-like long whip.

And on the whip's body, each of the nine golden and silver bells had Talisman inscriptions carved on its surface, extremely profound, making it hard to recognize what they represented.

"City Lord Wan, please." Although the two were already enemies, Lin Fei still followed convention, extending his palm outward as he spoke.

"Take my whip!" Wan Guohai, however, shouted angrily, his voice exploding over the Heaven-Stealing Peak platform like a clap of thunder.

Swish.

The Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip in Wan Guohai's hand swept toward Lin Fei in a single motion.

Although he and Lin Fei were almost twenty meters apart—far beyond the original length of the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip—this long whip made from the tendons of a thousand-year serpent from the Great Marsh by the hands of a powerful Cultivator possessed astonishing elasticity.

The seven- or eight-meter whip, as Wan Guohai lashed out with force, suddenly extended. The long whip, as thick as a thumb, erupted with a terrifying power of wind and thunder, lightning-fast, letting out continuous explosions in the air, carrying a fearsome, overwhelming destructive force.

Seeing that Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip suddenly extend and come crashing down at Lin Fei with shocking might, Lin Fei moved unhurriedly, his figure shifting as he easily dodged the whip's first strike.

Boom!!

With a thunderous crash, the air was instantly thrown into violent turbulence.

The Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip smashed into the platform beneath, and though the whip was only as thick as a thumb, it possessed astonishing destructive power.

As the long whip struck the ground, fragments of stone blasted in all directions, and the platform looked as if a vicious dragon had plowed a trench into it—some twenty meters long and half a meter wide—shocking to behold.

All the Cultivators watching from around the area were stunned by the power of the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip.

Lin Fei, meanwhile, had already dodged and soared into the air before the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip fell, looking calmly down at Wan Guohai.

Wan Guohai had not expected that with this lash he wouldn't even brush the hem of Lin Fei's robe. This made the killing intent in his eyes burn even fiercer, and his urge to put Lin Fei to death grew more frantic.

"Brat, this time I'll let you taste the power of the nine Demon Sound Bells." As Wan Guohai's voice fell, the long whip in his hand cracked above his head, emitting a string of explosive, crackling sounds.

Of course, apart from the whip's roar, there was also the sound of bells ringing.

The nine golden and silver bells rang out together. The tinkling bell sounds were extremely pleasant to the ear, yet filled with a seductive charm, like a lullaby urging one to sleep.

On the surrounding mountains, all the Cultivators—other than a few high-level experts from the Ten Great Families—grew drowsy, and illusions appeared before their eyes.

They saw colorful bubbles appear all around, drifting and floating, and seven-colored rainbows spanning the sky, making them feel exceedingly comfortable, as if their entire beings were immersed in a dream.

On the Heaven-Stealing Peak platform, Wan Guohai saw the blank gazes and intoxicated expressions on the faces of all the Cultivators on the surrounding peaks, and he knew they had already been bewitched by the Demonic Sound emitted by the Demon Sound Bells on his whip.

The strength with which he swung the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip lessened and became gentle; the crackling sound of the whip striking the air disappeared, leaving only the Demonic Sound of the bells, spreading out continuously.

Waves of Demonic Sound ripples began to spread out and envelope Lin Fei.

And as Wan Guohai focused the Demonic Sound's main assault on Lin Fei, all the Demonic Sound that had been dispersing toward the surrounding mountains gathered and converged on Lin Fei as well.

This caused all the Cultivation experts who had just been bewitched by the ringing of Wan Guohai's Demon Sound Bells to suddenly wake up; they found that the bubbles were gone and the rainbows had vanished.

Then, to their astonishment, they saw Wan Guohai on the Heaven-Stealing Peak platform, swinging the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip in his hand, sending wave after wave of Demonic Sound toward Lin Fei.
