Chapter 1228: Who Do You Think You Are
Lin Feng's battle continued. His opponent directly blocked Lin Feng's Celestial Fate Sword with his palm and roared. Instantly, a spatial blade seemed to form in the void, slashing straight at Lin Feng.
"Whoosh!" Lin Feng's figure flickered to dodge. A crackling sound rang out as the terrifying spatial blade tore the earth apart, leaving a dreadful, deep fissure that was shocking to behold.
The powerful attack of a Third Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm cultivator carried terrifying destructive force with even a casual strike.
The Celestial Fate Sword gripped in his palm, Lin Feng sensed a terrifying aura spreading toward him and said to Qiu Yuexin, "Yuexin, freeze him. I'll cut him down!"
"Alright!" Qiu Yuexin replied coldly. Then, a rustling sound rang out as moonlight poured down from the void. At the same time, within Duan Xinye's body, it seemed as if layers of moons emerged, rising toward the sky.
"Destroy them!" The old man snorted coldly. His figure flickered, and a space-rending giant hand tore one of the moons apart directly. But in that instant, several beams of moonlight shone upon him. Five moons appeared above him, their light converging on his body. A terrifying, emotionless intent descended, eroding his body.
"Freeze!"
Qiu Yuexin spat out a cold syllable. It was as if a desolate, icy moon froze the man's body, plunging him into a hazy, moonlit trance.
"Instant Desolation!" A dazzling, brilliant sword bloomed at almost the same moment. In an instant, the power of desolation and a terrifying fusion of profound meanings tore through the strong man's body. The illusory moon was split open by the sword, and the man's body was severed along with the moon. A Third Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm cultivator, struck down by their combined attack, was annihilated in an instant.
"These two young ones are incredibly powerful!" At this moment, many people were gathered in the distant void. Seeing this scene, their hearts trembled. A young man at the Eighth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm and an ice-cold beauty at the First Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm had joined forces to kill a Third Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm cultivator without any hesitation—almost an instant kill.
"That's Qiu Yuexin. I've seen her kill many low-rank Venerable Ones alone."
"Qiu Yuexin, the rising prodigy of the Qiu Clan!"
The crowd recognized Qiu Yuexin and gasped in admiration. Her strength had indeed become terrifyingly formidable.
"And that young man is Lin Feng!" Another voice rang out, causing the crowd to stiffen. Lin Feng, so it was Lin Feng!
Interesting. Two great prodigies had recently risen in the Northern Wasteland. One had fought and defeated the Heavenly Dragon Divine Body, Long Teng, and would have killed him if not for the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's trickery. The other had chased down Bai Qiuluo, one of the Ten Great Prodigies, for millions of miles. Both were at the peak of their fame, dazzlingly bright. Now, they appeared together, fighting side by side.
"I heard that Lin Feng's decisive battle with Long Teng was because of Qiu Yuexin. Their relationship is close, seemingly intimate. It looks like that's true."
"Yes, these two rising prodigies from the Northern Wasteland are a perfect match, a beautiful pair. It makes one envious. But unfortunately, Qiu Yuexin cultivates the Emotionless Dao. Their relationship probably won't have a happy ending."
The crowd buzzed with discussion. At that moment, another powerful figure arrived in the distance. His divine sense was still trapped within Lin Feng's Divine Mind Palace, constantly being bombarded. This shook his divine sea and unsettled his soul, as if it might shatter at any moment, causing him extreme agony.
He had originally wanted to kill Lin Feng forcefully to rescue his divine sense, but when he saw Lin Feng and Qiu Yuexin instantly kill his companion, his expression turned grim.
"Let's call this matter settled, how about it?" The man said to Lin Feng. With his divine sense trapped, he had no choice but to show weakness.
"You tried to destroy my divine sense, and now you want me to let it go? Ridiculous." Lin Feng snorted coldly. There was no way he would agree. Threads of terrifying energy continued to strike the divine hammer, shaking the man's divine sense and turning his face pale. His soul was in turmoil. Why was the Divine Mind Palace that Lin Feng simulated so powerful? It could trap his divine sense hammer, and within the palace, the complexity was endless, allowing for relentless attacks.
"One should be lenient when possible. Young man, don't be too arrogant, or you'll die young." The old man snorted, as if lecturing Lin Feng. Behind him, a group of figures flickered into view. The leader was none other than Qi Tiansheng, the prodigy of the Qi Clan's younger generation.
"You first spied on me with your divine sense, then directly erased a strand of my divine sense power, and finally tried to destroy my divine sense entirely. Now you say I'm too arrogant? Utterly ridiculous!" Although the world of martial arts was brutally cruel, since Lin Feng began his cultivation, he had never acted against others unless they threatened him. This man had attacked him with divine sense power for no reason and still dared to claim Lin Feng was arrogant, even threatening him with an early death.
"Kill!" With a thought, within the Divine Mind Palace, countless points of light shimmered. Golden threads fell like a waterfall of rain, continuously tearing at the divine hammer. The old man hissed in pain, his face growing even paler.
"Enough! You've already killed one person. Why must you be so relentless?" A cold voice rang out. The crowd turned to look at the speaker and stiffened.
"It's Qi Tiansheng, one of the Ten Great Prodigies of the Qi Clan from the Eastern Wasteland." The crowd trembled and murmured.
Lin Feng turned his gaze to Qi Tiansheng and said indifferently, "Is this any of your business?"
"Interesting!" The crowd thought to themselves. Lin Feng and Qi Tiansheng were facing off. If they fought, who knew what would happen? Although many people vaguely considered Lin Feng a candidate for the Ten Great Prodigies, he had never truly clashed with any of them head-on. Qi Tiansheng, on the other hand, was a genuine member of the Ten Great Prodigies. Coupled with his status, his foundation seemed deeper than Lin Feng's.
Some people couldn't help but feel anticipation. They hoped the two would clash here, to see if the rising figure Lin Feng, who had once defeated the Heavenly Dragon Divine Body Long Teng, could contend with a true member of the Ten Great Prodigies like Qi Tiansheng.
"He's still your elder. Damaging his divine sense is enough. No matter the situation, remember to leave some leeway in life!" Qi Tiansheng looked at Lin Feng with a cold expression and said indifferently.
"I don't need you to teach me how to live my life. Worry about yourself first. Doing shady things and thinking no one knows." Lin Feng saw Qi Jiaojiao beside Qi Tiansheng and immediately understood what was going on. The divine sense power he had just destroyed was clearly Qi Jiaojiao's. Because Lin Feng hadn't paid much attention to Qi Jiaojiao, he hadn't immediately recognized her voice.
"Ah..." The old man screamed in agony as his divine sense power was continuously battered, nearly unbearable.
"Release him!" Qi Tiansheng's eyes turned cold. A chilling aura seemed to radiate from him. His sharp gaze locked onto Lin Feng, carrying an unquestionable command.
"Whoosh!" The restraints of the Divine Mind Palace vanished. The man's divine sense hammer shot out instantly. The crowd was stunned, sighing inwardly. It seemed Lin Feng still didn't dare to oppose Qi Tiansheng. His foundation wasn't deep enough. Although Lin Feng was valued by the Martial Emperor of the Heavenly Terrace, Qi Tiansheng was a direct descendant of a Martial Emperor. He could mobilize the terrifying power of the Qi Clan, while Lin Feng couldn't casually use the Heavenly Terrace's strength.
"Lin Feng probably knows this too, which is why he didn't dare defy Qi Tiansheng's words and released the man's divine sense."
That was likely what everyone was thinking at that moment. But just then, a dazzling light bloomed in the night, a brilliant radiance. A shining thread descended and struck.
"Ah..." A miserable scream shook the crowd's hearts, making them pound violently.
Lin Feng had cut down the strong man's divine sense with a single sword stroke, directly erasing it without any mercy.
They had thought Lin Feng was releasing the man's divine sense, but they never expected that instead of releasing it, he had directly killed it. One sword stroke, clean and decisive—cutting the divine sense, severing the path of life.
Not only were the crowd stunned, but even Qi Tiansheng was momentarily taken aback. His calm gaze fixed on Lin Feng, but the crowd could feel the coldness hidden within that calm.
Lin Feng's eyes were indifferent, meeting Qi Tiansheng's gaze without flinching. They stared at each other. He had never been arrogant, even knowing he possessed considerable talent. He only worked harder to cultivate, constantly climbing the path of the strong. He understood that talent was innate—a gift from the heavens—but how far you could go depended on your own effort and the tenacity of your martial heart. So, along this journey, he had endured countless pressures, but his unyielding martial heart had never changed. With a sincere heart, he cut through thorns and thistles on the martial path.
Lin Feng was neither arrogant nor self-deprecating. He never thought himself inferior to others, not even Qi Tiansheng. In fact, from the Snow Moon Kingdom to the Eight Wastelands Realm, he had started with nothing, faced life-and-death trials many times, and walked the most difficult paths. But he had never been afraid for himself.
Now, with the Heavenly Terrace behind him, the Sword Pavilion under his control, and countless trump cards, including the Curse Scepter and the Skyless Sword Emperor's sword, Lin Feng had no reason to fear. Qi Jiaojiao had spied on him with her divine sense, and he had driven her away. Then Qi Tiansheng sent a strong man to deal with him, and Lin Feng trapped his divine sense. Now Qi Tiansheng came and ordered him to release the man in a commanding tone. Was that possible?
"Who do you think you are!" Lin Feng's indifferent voice came from his mouth, the Celestial Fate Sword in his hand. His tone carried a hint of pride. Release him? Ridiculous. If you want to fight, I'll be ready anytime!
