Ye Feng didn’t even glance at Bo Yu and Ba Heng. He stood aside, continuously casting formation talismans, and the energy of the grand array kept increasing. Now, in just a few breaths, the array’s power would rise to the level of a fourth-rank Dao-level array. However, once it reached that level.

All of Bo Yu’s people would be killed by Ye Feng, and Bo Yu and Ba Heng began to panic.

They wanted to kill Ye Feng and stop him from perfectly activating the full power of the grand array. However, with the protection of a defense barrier in front of Ye Feng, their combined strength couldn’t break the barrier or kill Ye Feng before the grand array’s power reached the fourth-rank Dao-level. Ba Heng and Bo Yu were momentarily at a loss.

"Break!" But at that moment, an angry roar echoed around, causing the space to ripple with waves.

In the void appeared Immortal Yue Qing, holding a longsword that exuded a chilly aura. The terrifying power of the ice Dao surrounded her, causing the temperature to plummet. The Human Heart Sacred Clothes appeared on her body, radiating seven-colored glaze light.

Endless power surged into Immortal Yue Qing’s body, and her aura instantly became incredibly formidable.

Freezing miles around, a thick layer of ice formed on the ground. Yue Qing’s blue icy sword energy, shining brilliantly, descended from the void, and the sound of the sword roar seemed to tear eardrums apart.

Seeing Immortal Yue Qing’s powerful momentum, Bo Yu and Ba Heng were stunned. They didn’t expect that Immortal Yue Qing could unleash such a terrifying strike. At that moment, Yue Qing’s sword was at least twice as powerful as their combined full-strength strike, and they knew it was all because of the Human Heart Sacred Clothes on her.

They had already realized that the Human Heart Sacred Clothes on Yue Qing was a supreme-level sacred artifact.

They hadn’t expected that Immortal Yue Qing possessed such a supreme sacred artifact, something they desired immensely.

At the same time, the two became excited. Yue Qing’s powerful sword would surely shatter the defense barrier in front of Ye Feng and kill him, preventing him from maximizing the grand array’s power.

The sword light descended and was about to hit Ye Feng’s defense barrier. Yue Qing’s gaze showed a mocking expression.

She thought Ye Feng was a fool for giving her a supreme sacred artifact, only to die by it now.

"Bang!" But at that instant, a massive explosion sounded, and the Human Heart Sacred Clothes on Yue Qing suddenly exploded, the terrifying power engulfing her.

"Boom~~" The terrifying explosion was deafening, instantly forming a massive mushroom cloud.

The entire castle shook violently, and Immortal Yue Qing fell directly from the void.

Finally, Yue Qing crashed heavily to the ground, and her sword energy collapsed, failing to attack Ye Feng. Her body’s skin was scorched, with half of her body almost entirely blown away.

Everyone was dumbfounded after seeing this. Out of nowhere, the supreme sacred artifact on Yue Qing had exploded.

The force severely injured her, knocking her to the ground, her body trembling, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

The Human Heart Sacred Clothes flew in front of Ye Feng and was stored in his storage ring.

Yue Qing stared blankly at Ye Feng; her entire body had lost mobility due to the explosion, severely injuring her.

Not only so, but even her internal organs had been blown to pieces. If not for using all her power to protect her most vital parts in the crucial moment, she would already be dead.

Yue Qing trembled all over, barely managing to speak, looking at Ye Feng: "Wh... why?"

"Didn’t I tell you? This is called the Human Heart Sacred Clothes! It only recognizes me and Han Yi as masters. As for you, it was merely a temporary recognition. It depended on whether you had ill intentions. If you harbored ill will towards me or Han Yi, the Human Heart Sacred Clothes would explode and counterattack you. Did you really think I was foolish enough to give you the Human Heart Sacred Clothes?" Ye Feng said calmly.

"Ugh~~~" Yue Qing was so angered by Ye Feng that she spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling intolerably miserable.

Only now did Yue Qing realize how foolish she was. Previously, she thought Ye Feng was stupid for giving her the Human Heart Sacred Clothes to curry favor, but now it was clear it wasn’t like that at all. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

How could Ye Feng not know Yue Qing’s little schemes? When Yue Qing obtained the Human Heart Sacred Clothes, she was hesitating whether to keep it for herself. The moment Yue Qing decided to kill Ye Feng, he knew her choice and had already placed a restriction on the Human Heart Sacred Clothes.

If the master recognized was Han Yi, then it was a genuine recognition. If not Han Yi, it was only a temporary recognition. In truth, the true owner of the Human Heart Sacred Clothes was still Ye Feng, and at this moment, Ye Feng was still the owner.

"Boom~~" At this moment, the formation trembled, and lights surged, its power multiplied several times over!

Finally, at this time, the grand array within the castle was successfully elevated to a fourth-rank Dao-level!

The current grand array, even weaker early-stage Asking Dao powerhouses could easily be slain.

They knew that the hope of killing Ye Feng had completely vanished now...

Yue Qing smiled bitterly, feeling her own naivety: "Ye Feng, the Human Heart Sacred Clothes didn’t originally bear that name, right?"

"That’s right!" Ye Feng nodded. He had named it so to test Yue Qing, though she never realized this issue existed, and Yue Qing now sensed her problem.

Her injuries were severe, rendering her immobile, and even an Innate Martial Artist could easily kill her now.

Yue Qing helplessly looked at Ye Feng, a pleading look in her eyes: "Can you spare me?"

"No."

As soon as Ye Feng’s words fell, he thrust his Dark Sky Sword, Sword Qi sweeping across.
