# Chapter 1327: Intercepting Yiren Lei
"Your Highness!" The two words spoken by the blade-wielding youth caused Lin Feng's eyes to freeze in place. A powerful martial cultivator at the Third Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm who controlled dual Fifth Layer Essences was kneeling on one knee before Yiren Lei, calling her "Your Highness." This highest form of courtesy undoubtedly symbolized Yiren Lei's noble status.
"Dual temperament, dual identity..." Lin Feng's rippling heart gradually calmed down. Before stepping into this void space battlefield, Mu Chen had told him that the Eight Wastelands Realm and the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms were connected. Perhaps the people he encountered might come from the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms, and the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms also had cultivators from the Eight Wastelands Realm training there. He hadn't expected this statement to be verified so quickly. Yiren Lei clearly belonged to the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms and had later come to the Eight Wastelands.
Even if Yiren Lei was a Saintess of a Martial Emperor force in the Eight Wastelands Realm, the word "Your Highness" represented lineage, bloodline inheritance. Yiren Lei was very likely an Imperial Princess.
"Rise!" Yiren Lei's voice was calm. Only then did the blade-wielding youth stand up, looking at Yiren Lei with a strange expression in his eyes, as if carrying a trace of admiration.
Yiren Lei, a noble Imperial Princess, was much younger than him, yet her cultivation was not far behind his. Moreover, she possessed a beauty that could topple kingdoms. Among the outstanding young generation of the empire, those who admired the Princess were far more than just him alone. But no one had ever been able to conquer this proud beauty.
Of course, there were some rumors in the empire lately that were disrespectful to the Princess. But as one of the Princess's admirers, Dao He obviously didn't believe them.
However, when Dao He's gaze fell upon Lin Feng, Lin Feng could clearly feel a sharp blade-like aura rushing toward him from the other's eyes.
"Your Highness, who is this person?" Dao He stared at Lin Feng with an unfriendly expression.
"It's none of your business!" Yiren Lei said indifferently, continuing to step forward. Lin Feng calmly glanced at Dao He and walked past him as well. This scene caused Dao He's eyes to turn cold as he stared at Lin Feng's back. In the empire, the Princess never associated with men.
His figure flickered, and Dao He quickly caught up with Yiren Lei, speaking from behind her: "I heard that Your Highness was returning to the empire. The family specially sent me to wait in this void space, but I didn't encounter Your Highness. Fortunately, on my way back, I saw Your Highness returning. Additionally, the family's experts have also arrived at this void passageway, welcoming Your Highness back to the empire."
"I understand!" Yiren Lei nodded slightly, still saying nothing more. This made Dao He quite frustrated. He understood the family's intentions, but unfortunately, the Princess had no interest in him. Of course, as a descendant of the empire's Blade Emperor, how could he give up so easily? At the very least, he wouldn't lose to some brat at the Ninth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm!
"Killing intent!" At that moment, Lin Feng's footsteps suddenly stopped. His keen senses told him that someone wanted to kill them.
When Yiren Lei and Dao He heard Lin Feng's words, they both stopped. If someone wanted to kill them, they wouldn't doubt it at all. In fact, there were definitely quite a few people who wanted to kill Yiren Lei.
Sure enough, after the three stopped, a group of experts flickered toward them. Four people formed a squad, and there were three squads in total. Traces of killing intent emanated from them without any concealment.
The strength of these squads was evenly distributed. Each squad consisted of one at the Fifth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm and three at the Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm.
"Your Highness, we need to break out immediately, or there will be big trouble!" Dao He's body radiated sharp light. As his words fell, his body also charged forward, stepping with Space Essence movement techniques, as fast as lightning.
Dao He's blade also appeared—a dazzlingly bright great blade, extremely cold, and within it emanated traces of space aura, as if it amplified the power of space.
"Kill!" Dao He's blade slashed out directly. The dazzling great blade traced a massive blade light, like a bitterly cold crescent moon, as if it had cut space in two. Moreover, the speed of this blade was terrifyingly fast.
"Dao He!" Seeing this blade light, the four people's faces instantly changed. They frantically retreated, but the blade light that seemed to tear space apart was too fast. The four people's bodies were directly split open. Before their blood could even splash out, they died at Dao He's hands.
While Dao He was acting, Yiren Lei and Lin Feng simultaneously charged toward another squad. Yiren Lei used both Illusion Essence and Water Essence at the same time, causing the three among them to see Yiren Lei's enchanting smile that could bewilder all living beings. The three experts at the Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm were instantly killed, leaving only one. It wouldn't be difficult for Yiren Lei to kill him.
As for Lin Feng, he had just killed one person. His surging demonic palm force blasted toward the second person. His demonic pupils stared at the opponent, causing that Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm cultivator's eyes to sink into illusion.
"Kill!" The vast demonic palm force merged Curse Essence and Desolation Essence into it, striking toward the person in front of him. But almost at the same time, Lin Feng felt a bone-piercing blade intent, causing his expression to change drastically.
"Whoosh!" Lin Feng's body disappeared from its original position, as if teleporting through the void, appearing in the space above. The moment he disappeared, the blade light appeared, and the other three were directly killed by the blade light.
Lin Feng's body abruptly turned around. When his gaze fell upon Dao He, a terrifying coldness flashed through it. That blade strike from Dao He had also tried to cut him down. If he had been a step slower, he would have died.
"Space divine ability?" Dao He frowned. The technique Lin Feng used was very similar to a technique used by someone he had encountered not long ago—the ability to teleport through space.
"You tried to kill me too!" Lin Feng said coldly.
"You're in the way. So what if I cut you down!" Dao He replied coldly.
"Boom!" A vast demonic intent surged from Lin Feng's body straight into the sky. Within his pitch-black pupils, a terrifying demonic will was contained.
When Dao He saw these eyes, he felt as if his own eyes were affected, as if his will was being eroded by demonic thoughts. These eyes were too cold, too icy, as if they had merged a terrifying demonic consciousness within them.
"I will make you perish in demonic intent!" Lin Feng's voice was solemn, causing Dao He's expression to stiffen. His eyes seemed about to sink into illusion. He seemed to see powerful demon kings appearing in Lin Feng's pupils. Finally, he saw a demonic shadow that looked down upon the heavens, standing in the sky, dominating all alone.
"You are nothing but a lowly servant, kneeling on the ground like an ant!" Lin Feng's voice directly trembled into the other's mind. Within his pupils, the demonic shadow that looked down upon the heavens seemed to transform into a spring of the Nine Nether. He seemed to be beneath that Nine Nether, undergoing the baptism of demons.
"No, I, Dao He, am a descendant of the Blade Emperor!" Within Dao He's eyes, a dazzling great blade seemed to appear, a blade that could slash through everything, a blade that could cut through the sky.
"The Blade Emperor must also submit before the Demon Lord. In this life, you are destined only to kneel on the ground, looking up at the one you admire!" Lin Feng's voice pierced Dao He's heart, causing his will to feel on the verge of collapse, as if his blade path was no longer so firm.
At this moment, Yiren Lei had already killed the other person. Turning back, she happened to see this shocking scene. Her cold and proud beautiful eyes couldn't help but stare at Lin Feng, revealing a puzzled expression.
"No... you are eroding my will!" Dao He roared angrily, releasing an incredibly terrifying blade intent from his body. But almost at the same time, Lin Feng took a step forward, appearing before Dao He. The Skyless Demon Palm Seal struck out, also containing the power of Curse Essence and Desolation Essence.
"Get lost!" Dao He roared, slashing out with blade light. But the palm seal fell almost simultaneously. A loud booming sound rang out, extinguishing even the hastily released blade light. The terrifying demonic palm force struck Dao He's protective purple great blade, blasting him backward. It felt as if a breath was stuck in his chest, extremely uncomfortable.
"Boom!" Lin Feng stamped his foot, rolling demonic energy surging toward Dao He, wild and overbearing. Although his strength was inferior to Dao He's, he still wanted to fight.
Almost at the same time, traces of powerful auras emanated, causing Dao He's expression to change greatly. "Stop!"
Lin Feng frowned. He also sensed many experts approaching, killing intent spreading. This time, the experts were much stronger than the three squads from before—all powerful existences at the Fifth and Sixth Layers of Sovereign Martial Realm.
"They're all coming for Yiren Lei. It seems quite a few people want to kill this beautiful Princess!" Lin Feng thought to himself. Yiren Lei was returning to the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms when there were still a hundred days until the Assembly of All Emperors. He didn't know the reason, but she and Dao He clearly knew that someone would intercept her.
"This won't be a pleasant journey, but it will definitely be very exciting!" Lin Feng recalled Yiren Lei's words. What would the unpleasantness and excitement be?
Lin Feng's cold demonic pupils swept over Dao He, and he said coldly, "Don't let there be a next time!"
Seeing Lin Feng's pitch-black pupils, Dao He actually felt a trace of chill. This person at the Ninth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm had tried to erode his will with just a pair of eyes. In this short period of time today, he had encountered two monstrous figures at the Ninth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm.
"Hmph!" Dao He's eyes were sharp as he stared at Lin Feng, showing no fear.
"I don't want to see a next time either!" Yiren Lei's cold voice entered Dao He's ears, causing his expression to stiffen. He then nodded slightly, looking at the approaching figures and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I have already notified the family's experts through my mark. We just need to stall for time!"
After speaking, Dao He turned his body. Purple blade light flickered in the void as he stared at the five figures that had already arrived.
"Kill!" The five released a powerful killing aura. Without any words, they charged forward and attacked. A massive earth palm seal descended from the sky, as if a mountain peak was pressing down, producing a terrifying sound.
"Break!" Dao He's cold blade light swept across, merging essence attacks blooming, splitting even the descending earth palm seal in two. But the next moment, a dazzling sword light directly killed toward Dao He, as fast as thunder.
At the same time, two experts at the Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm directly pounced toward Yiren Lei. One radiated sharp golden light, while the other transformed into a terrifying hurricane storm. Both wanted to take Yiren Lei's life.
"It seems a bit difficult to deal with!" Lin Feng looked at the powerful five, demonic light flickering in his eyes. He clearly hadn't expected this journey to be so exciting. Before even setting foot in the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms, there were continuous interceptions!
