# Chapter 1239: Slay Him
However, Lin Feng was ultimately unable to slay Qitian Saint. A series of piercing sounds howled out as killing aura surged endlessly. All around Lin Feng were Venerable Martial realm experts.
"What a grand display, Qitian Saint prodigy!" Lin Feng's lips curled with a hint of cold mockery as he looked at Qitian Saint, who was now protected by the crowd. "The self-righteous prodigy of the Qi family. After today's battle, whether you manage to keep your life or not, you will become a laughingstock to others, a disgrace to the Qi family!"
The harsh, sarcastic words pierced Qitian Saint's eardrums, stabbing into his heart. His expression turned icy cold.
"Kill him!" Qitian Saint spat out a frigid command, causing the hearts of the crowd to tremble. Qitian Saint had lost, and lost thoroughly. Now he wanted to use his family's power to kill Lin Feng. Both in strength and in mental fortitude, he had been defeated. From this day forward, Qitian Saint would be removed from the Ten Great Prodigies.
Lin Feng's gaze shifted toward the battlefield where Qiu Yuexin was fighting. She was still locked in a fierce battle with Bai Qiuluo, and her combat power was gradually unleashing terrifying might. Bai Qiuluo could gain no advantage, so Lin Feng had no need to worry.
A terrifying aura of slaughter spread outward. With a thunderous cracking sound, Lin Feng gripped the Celestial Fate Sword and stepped forward toward Qitian Saint. Fierce killing sword energy surged into the Nine Heavens. No one could block his sword—whoever stood in his way would die.
"Kill!" A series of terrifying killing auras erupted as all the Qi family guards charged at Lin Feng. The old master of the Wen family had stated earlier that any low-rank Venerable Martial expert could step onto the battle platform and fight freely.
"Demonic Art, Heavenly Demon Domain!" Lin Feng uttered a frigid voice. Instantly, heaven and earth churned, as if darkness had descended. The void turned pitch black, and rolling, terrifying demonic intent surged wildly, enveloping all the Venerable Martial experts charging at Lin Feng.
"A domain!" The crowd's hearts trembled. They could no longer see Lin Feng or the Venerable Martial experts who had charged at him—they were all shrouded by a roaring tide of demonic energy.
"He actually possesses a domain. He's cultivating a terrifying demonic technique!" the old master of the Wen family murmured, somewhat surprised. When a cultivation technique reached a certain level of power, it could contain domain-based divine abilities within it. Lin Feng was using a demonic art that contained a Heavenly Demon Domain. Clearly, the demonic technique he cultivated was extremely powerful, with overwhelming demonic aura. No wonder Lin Feng could use the demon curse technique.
Meanwhile, beneath the battle platform, the young man surnamed Wu from the Sky Dome Immortal Palace had a flickering gaze, the muscles on his face twitching slightly.
"I heard that Lin Feng once fought a great battle with Junior Sister Biyao in Sword City, using a Demon Seal Domain of immense power. Now, this is another domain ability. His demonic technique has a dual domain!" The young man's eyes revealed shock. The cultivation technique Lin Feng practiced—this terrifying demonic technique—might not have come from the Heavenly Terrace.
For martial cultivators, the stronger the technique they practiced, the more terrifying their combat power. Every attack would be more powerful. Moreover, the more fearsome and formidable the technique, the more terrifying it became as cultivation increased, with unmatched might. Thus, cultivation techniques were the foundation for martial cultivators, extremely important. If one's technique was insufficient, they might not even be able to advance further at a certain stage.
This Heavenly Demon Domain, like the demon curse technique, was naturally one of the terrifying divine abilities from the Three Lives Demon Scripture. It should only have been cultivatable at the Venerable Martial realm, but Lin Feng seemed to have broken through that restriction some time ago, allowing him to use this powerful demonic divine ability.
The Heavenly Demon Domain manifested, obscuring heaven and earth. Demonic energy enveloped those people in a world of demons, seemingly weakening their attacks. Lin Feng's eyes were icy cold. With a thought, he activated Instant Desolation, his body turning ethereal. A series of terrifying attacks landed on him, but they only struck emptiness.
"Soul Curse!" A Curse Scepter appeared in Lin Feng's hand, and a terrifying curse power spread out. No one could escape. Instantly, all those who attacked him were cursed. Their souls trembled violently, and screams rang out without end.
"Chi!" Brilliant golden light blazed forth. The Instant Space Long Robe appeared, and Lin Feng's body seemed to turn into nothingness, gliding through space. The Celestial Fate Sword in hand, sharp killing aura radiated within the Heavenly Demon Domain. Blood splattered as he continuously reaped the lives of these low-rank Venerable Martial experts.
"Annihilate!" Lin Feng spat out a cold word. The surging Heavenly Demon Domain released endless demonic aura, swallowing the curse energy. When the Heavenly Demon Domain dissipated and the space where Lin Feng stood was revealed, the crowd was horrified to find corpses lying cold on the ground, all cleanly slain with a single sword strike.
"From the moment the Heavenly Demon Domain appeared until now, only a few breaths have passed. Lin Feng has killed all those Venerable Martial realm experts!"
The hearts of the surrounding crowd pounded violently. It was too shocking. These were all Venerable Martial experts of the Qi family. Though they were only low-rank Venerable experts, they were still immensely powerful. Any one of them could hold their own. How had Lin Feng managed to kill them all in an instant?
How could they know that Lin Feng had first used the Instant Space Long Robe to turn ethereal, then released a terrifying curse power with the Curse Scepter, and finally combined the robe with the Celestial Fate Sword to slay them all in one stroke? They didn't even have time to react before they were all killed.
At this moment, Qitian Saint sat at the edge of the battle platform, healing his injuries. His face was pale, devoid of any color. His surging bloodline power churned endlessly as he restored his severed body. Even with such severe injuries, his bloodline power remained terrifyingly strong. This showed how powerful bloodline power became upon reaching the Venerable Martial realm—it could last for centuries without decaying and could be passed down to descendants, allowing future generations to inherit its strength.
Lin Feng held his killing sword, stepping step by step toward Qitian Saint, who was still healing. His eyes were icy cold, and his sword energy soared to the heavens, sending chills down everyone's spines. This man was also a madman. In the martial path, one could not achieve greatness without madness. Only with the ambition to shatter heaven and earth, the spirit to contend with the world's geniuses, and an unyielding heart that the heavens themselves could not crush could one soar upward, step by step, to the peak of martial arts. Without such determination, one would ultimately become another's stepping stone, unworthy of standing at the summit and overlooking all beings.
"Do you know who stands before you?" At this moment, a cold voice rang out. Two figures stepped forward, instantly landing on either side of Qitian Saint. These two had surging auras, exuding a powerful majesty just by standing there. Their cultivation was formidable—mid-rank Venerable Martial experts. The two of them were responsible for protecting Qitian Saint and Qi Jiaojiao on this journey.
"A pitiful man who fancies himself a prodigy!" Lin Feng spat out coldly, looking at the two across from him. "Only low-rank Venerable Martial experts may step onto the battle platform. It seems you two are breaking the rules."
The surrounding crowd's expressions tightened. Indeed, the old master of the Wen family had said earlier that only low-rank Venerable Martial experts could step onto the battle platform and fight freely. But these two experts had surpassed the low-rank Venerable Martial realm. Yet they clearly couldn't allow Lin Feng to slay Qitian Saint.
"According to the rules, killing is also forbidden today. It seems you have already violated that," one of the old men said coldly.
"Are you blind?" Lin Feng spat out a frigid voice. "Every move he made was aimed at taking my life. He was always trying to kill me. And now you say killing is forbidden? Don't you find that ridiculous?"
The two experts radiated a series of terrifying auras, causing many hearts to tremble. If they made a move, Lin Feng would likely be in dire straits, with more misfortune than good fortune. How could someone at the Eighth Layer of Heavenly Martial realm contend with experts of this level?
Many gazes turned toward the old master of the Wen family. He remained calm and composed, not stopping what was happening.
"The old master of the Wen family cannot say that the Qi family has broken the rules. If Lin Feng really slays Qitian Saint, the Wen family would become an accomplice to Lin Feng's act, which would mean forming enmity with the Qi family."
The crowd understood clearly. The Wen family would not stop the Qi family from saving Qitian Saint.
"The younger generation is formidable. They are all rare geniuses. It seems we old bones are truly old," the old master of the Wen family said with a faint smile. "Alright, since the victor has been decided, let's end it here."
"As expected!" The crowd's expressions tightened. The old master of the Wen family would not allow Lin Feng to slay Qitian Saint, nor would he allow the Qi family to kill Lin Feng. That was why he spoke this way.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a violent explosive sound rang out. The crowd felt their bodies tremble incessantly as the ground shook. Everyone's eyes focused.
"What terrifying aura? What's happening?" The crowd's gazes suddenly turned. In a certain direction within the Wen family estate, a terrifying beam of destruction shot straight into the sky. Then, rumbling sounds of collapse came wildly, and the ground trembled without end.
"Someone is attacking the Wen family!" The crowd's eyes suddenly sharpened. In the distance, it seemed a palace had collapsed. The aura of destruction spread to this area, clearly indicating that terrifying experts were engaged in a great battle.
"What happened? Who would dare to attack the Wen family?" The crowd's bodies trembled violently. Then, rumbling sounds came from afar. Amidst the crowd, screams rang out continuously. From all directions, bloody slaughter erupted without warning as people directly began killing.
"Boom!" A series of violent auras surged into the sky. Screams continued without end. The entire space was in chaos. The old master of the Wen family's eyes shot out sharp, piercing cold light as he looked into the distance. There, in the direction of the Heavenly Void Ancient Formation.
"Has the secret been leaked?" The old master of the Wen family's heart suddenly trembled. Then, his body shot into the sky, ignoring the chaos here. Clearly, this was a man-made disturbance.
On the battle platform, in an instant, complete chaos erupted.
Qitian Saint's eyes suddenly snapped open, cold light bursting forth as he stared at Lin Feng. He spat out a frigid command: "Slay him!"
