# Chapter 1191: Battle with Zong Renyu
Xue Biyao watched her fellow disciple being slain by Lin Feng, her heart rippling slightly, but quickly calmed again. In the martial path, one's heart must be as firm as iron and stone.
There was no right or wrong between Lin Feng and her senior brothers. In the world of martial arts, what is called right? And what is called wrong?
Neither. In a world where strength reigns supreme, strength represents everything. Her senior brothers had repeatedly tried to harm Lin Feng. If they were stronger than Lin Feng, they could have killed him. But they were not as strong as Lin Feng, so Lin Feng killed them. This was only natural. Even she herself could not stop Lin Feng now.
"Returning to the Sky Dome Immortal Palace, I should go into seclusion, cultivate the immortal technique, and unleash the potential of my Immortal Spirit Body," Xue Biyao thought to herself. This journey to the City of Fate had greatly impacted her. She had thought that with her cultivation at the Eighth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm and her Immortal Spirit Body, she could go anywhere in the world. But in the City of Fate, especially this place, there were too many powerful individuals, each with terrifying talent.
Just Lin Feng alone was unforgettable to her. Before entering the City of Fate, she only needed to suppress her cultivation to the Fifth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm to fight Lin Feng. Although she lost, she had suppressed her realm by three layers. But now? In just a few short months in the City of Fate, it was enough to change a person's destiny. Now, even if she fought Lin Feng with all her strength, she would probably still lose.
Lin Feng, only at the Sixth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, had already mastered several types of Essence power. It was astonishing!
At this moment, there were not many people left who dared to target Lin Feng. Aside from those young experts who had comprehended Essence power, no one below the Essence level could probably fight Lin Feng.
Among the Ten Great Prodigies, several were losing interest. Lin Feng's strength only slightly surprised them, and that was all. Lin Feng at the Sixth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, even if he had mastered several types of Essence power, so what? They too had mastered several types of Essence, and their comprehension and application of Essence were deeper than Lin Feng's. For now, Lin Feng posed no threat to them. So they were only somewhat curious. But to consider Lin Feng as an opponent? Not yet. The only opponents in their eyes were others among the Ten Great Prodigies.
One day, the Ten Great Prodigies would determine who was superior, but not now. The City of Fate was not over yet. The four Fate Temples still stood there. The dazzling and brilliant Destinies between their brows had not been used yet. The Prophet had not appeared either. Now was not the time for contention.
However, there were still quite a few people who showed some interest in Lin Feng, such as Yiren Lei of the Immortal Wasteland, the monk Kongming of the Heavenly Thunder Sound Temple, Wen Tiange of the Wen Clan in the Central Wasteland, Qi Tiansheng of the Qi Clan in the Eastern Wasteland, and Fu Hei of the Flame Mountain in the Southern Wasteland.
Thunder Demon and Long Teng followed Dapeng Demon Lord and left for the Fate Temple. Although they had shown strong killing intent toward Lin Feng, it seemed they could no longer kill him now. Now, they urgently needed powerful strength.
Thunder Demon was a descendant of a Demon Emperor, a Dark Gold Thunder Bird. Given time, he would definitely be able to kill Lin Feng.
Long Teng also believed that, as a Heavenly Dragon Demon Body, he was no worse than anyone else. Killing Lin Feng was only a matter of time. Lin Feng was someone he had to kill.
"Come out!" Lin Feng's gaze slowly turned and finally landed on Zong Renyu. "Aren't you going to make a move?"
Zong Renyu's face was cold, with a hint of an evil smile. "You have indeed surprised me. But if you really think you can deal with me, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
With that, Zong Renyu's steps slowly advanced. He was not afraid of Lin Feng.
"Be careful. This Zong Renyu is a genius expert from the Human Desire Paradise. He cultivates a wicked Human Desire Technique that is extremely powerful, capable of capturing the soul. He had already comprehended Wind Essence and Soul-Capturing Will power before, directly affecting a person's mind and soul. I saw him step into the River of Destruction. Perhaps he has now mastered Soul-Capturing Essence."
Yuan Fei transmitted his voice to Lin Feng, reminding him. Lin Feng's heart tightened. This Zong Renyu was extremely insidious, always using others to make moves. Now that he was standing out himself, he probably had the strength to fight.
"Kill!" A cold sound spat out. There was no need to say more. The Celestial Fate Sword thrust straight out. Thunder rolled, and a brilliant bolt of lightning spat out, like a dormant thunder dragon roaring forth.
"Wind Vortex!" Zong Renyu shouted coldly. Instantly, Wind Essence power transformed into a terrifying vortex, sucking everything into it, even swallowing the rolling thunder. A booming sound rang out as the thunder python-like lightning and the vortex disappeared together. The Celestial Fate Sword cut through everything, aiming to kill Zong Renyu.
But at this moment, Zong Renyu moved with the wind, already passing by the Celestial Fate Sword. Like a Golden-Winged Great Roc spreading its wings, he pounced down from the nine heavens toward Lin Feng. His palm slashed out, and a massive wind blade appeared, as if it would split Lin Feng in two.
Wind Essence could not only increase speed. If mastered well, it could defend, could make speed like the wind. Zong Renyu's control over Wind Essence was clearly very skilled. The enormous wind blade cut through space with a cracking sound.
"Tear!" Lin Feng spat out a single word. Space power tore through the void, ripping apart the massive wind blade. At the same time, terrifying thunder spat out, exploding the void.
"Kill!" The Celestial Fate Sword went and returned. Space roared in fury. Wild thunder howled.
"Human Desire!" Zong Renyu shouted coldly. Lin Feng saw those evil eyes, and his heart trembled slightly. It was as if a wicked fire was about to ignite in his soul. Flames of desire burned in his eyes, as if he was about to lose himself.
"Evil heretic!" The Sun Flame on Lin Feng's body suddenly burned wildly. The power of Yang fire purified all evil. At the same time, his Golden Body flickered. Buddhist light seemed to radiate from Lin Feng's body. The Nine Revolutions Buddha-Demon Art seemed to have been stripped or derived from the Three Lives Demon Scripture. It had been very useful to Lin Feng before, but as his strength grew day by day, the Nine Revolutions Buddha-Demon Art could no longer satisfy Lin Feng's needs. He needed a higher-level Buddha-Demon Scripture.
But to cleanse the wicked fire in his heart, the power of Buddha could still play some role.
"Soul Capture!" Zong Renyu roared. Lin Feng felt his soul tremble, as if involuntarily, unable to extricate himself.
"Not good!" Yuan Fei and the others' expressions froze. Zong Renyu was suppressing Lin Feng with his realm. This roar contained powerful Soul-Capturing power. Lin Feng's realm was lower, so he would certainly suffer.
But Lin Feng only took a moment to wake up, his mind clear. He also roared in fury, like ten thousand demons dancing wildly, charging toward Zong Renyu. At the same time, Lin Feng's palm contained the violence of lightning, the tearing of space, and the fury of flame, slashing at Zong Renyu.
"Crackle... Boom!" A terrifying collision sound rang out. Space exploded. The two bodies touched and separated. Zong Renyu didn't give Lin Feng a chance to counterattack. He rode the wind away, steadied his body, and his palm trembled slightly. That power just now seemed like it would tear his palm apart. Fortunately, his realm completely overwhelmed Lin Feng's, or else this strike would have shattered his palm.
"Comprehending more types of Essence than others doesn't mean you're stronger. Scattered and not refined, unable to use Essence power, even if you master more Essence, what use is it?" Zong Renyu was inwardly shocked by Lin Feng's ferocity, but his words were arrogant, as if lecturing Lin Feng.
"Hmph, Zong Renyu, your words are truly shameless. If Lin Feng had your realm and was familiar with Essence control, he would definitely kill you!" Yuan Fei's voice was like thunder, coldly speaking.
"Is that so? My Human Desire Technique hasn't been fully unleashed yet." Zong Renyu retorted.
"Don't boast. Everyone knows what kind of person you are, Zong Renyu. If you had the chance, you would definitely kill Lin Feng. If you can't do it, you can't do it. Don't put on airs." Yuan Fei sneered sarcastically.
Lin Feng heard their exchange, a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't care about the battle just now. For martial artists, aside from cultivation, only battle could make one grow. Comprehending during battle was the path of martial arts.
Lin Feng certainly wouldn't think that just because he had comprehended a few more types of Essence, he could look down on all geniuses. If it was scattered and not refined, what use was it? Better not to have it. Comprehending Essence power was only the first step. Next, he needed to truly use Essence power, to bring out the greatest value of each type of Essence. That was what he needed to do. The same Essence in different people's hands could produce vastly different power. Otherwise, how could one distinguish between genius and mediocrity among Venerable Martial experts?
"In my battle with Zong Renyu just now, neither of us won. In fact, I was at a slight disadvantage. If not for my strong soul power and the deterrence of the Celestial Fate Sword, even though I have more Essence power than him, I would still have lost for sure. But this doesn't mean much. It's just because my realm is lower than his, and also because the Essence power I just comprehended is not skilled, so the power I unleashed is not as strong as his."
Lin Feng analyzed in his heart, drawing some useful experience from this battle. Only then could he be stronger in the next battle. If he didn't know how to analyze and comprehend, how could he grow and become stronger?
"Right now, I really can't kill you. But still, I want to thank you. The next time we meet, I will use the method you taught me to kill you."
Lin Feng looked at Zong Renyu and said indifferently. His calm words were filled with strong confidence, as if it came from his bones, from the pride in his soul.
Zong Renyu's brow furrowed slightly. Use the method he taught him to kill him?
