# Chapter 1456: Life-Seizing Sword
The demonic gleam in Seven Kills' eyes grew increasingly intense, as if his entire being was about to transform into a demon. Lin Feng stared at him, saying coldly, "Look at me!"
This time, Lin Feng's curse power had no effect. The other party's eyes, even as they transformed into demonic light, remained clear, revealing a hint of indifference. He spread his arms and roared, "Go!"
"Boom!" Rolling demonic qi seemed to pierce through heaven and earth, madly venting from his body, transforming into a soaring demonic light beam, extremely terrifying. This fearsome demonic light beam alone could cause many Venerable Lord level figures to fall into the demonic path, yet he had withstood it and released it.
When his gaze fell upon Lin Feng, he had completely returned to normal, his eyes revealing a cold smile.
"Rustle!" Lin Feng's bloodline surged like thousands of troops galloping, accompanied by dragon roars emanating from within his bloodline.
"Devouring power?" Seven Kills' smile froze, his brow slightly furrowed. Lin Feng's bloodline was emitting the power of Devouring Essence — was he using his bloodline to devour the sound rhythm that had been blasted into his body?
He had expelled the demonic sound rhythm from his body, but Lin Feng was devouring it!
"Whoosh!" Seven Kills' body moved. Sword shadows appeared, cold light flashed, his speed terrifyingly fast. A sword beam slashed out, blooming in the void. Above the sky, a killing staircase appeared, radiating endless life-slaying power, pressing down from the heavens toward Lin Feng. Fast — incomparably fast.
Almost the moment his sword slashed out, Lin Feng also swung his sword — Instant Desolation, reaching an inconceivable speed. Fast sword clashed with fast sword in the void. The killing staircase transformed into a kingly life-slaying heavenly staircase, crushing everything. Rumbling waves of sound surged, still charging toward Lin Feng.
And almost simultaneously, Seven Kills' second sword had already slashed out. This sword also slashed out a killing staircase, the sword seeming to ascend to heaven, growing stronger the closer it got to Lin Feng, suppressing everything.
Fast sword — a sword so fast it took one's breath away!
"Whoosh!" A beam of death light burst forth, shattering even the heavenly staircase. Lin Feng's sword was also fast, reaching an inconceivable degree. Almost only streaks of light crisscrossed through the void. The two figures' forms shifted continuously. Sword beams covered the entire void. Killing staircases seemed to converge in the void into a terrifying killing sword staircase — each sword one staircase, converging into rows, appearing above the direction of the two combatants.
Since stepping out from the ancient tree space of the ancient battlefield, this was the first time Lin Feng had encountered such a formidable opponent. Killing Essence, Speed Essence, Sound Wave Essence, powerful divine ability power, lightning-fast sword drawing speed — Lin Feng's footwork and sword were both unable to gain the upper hand. Moreover, the other's sword actually contained another divine ability power, using sword intent to converge into a killing sword heavenly staircase.
Seven Kills was equally shocked by Lin Feng's strength. A person at the Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm could actually resist his fast sword.
"Kill!"
"Kill!" Their gazes collided, then both unhesitatingly roared fiercely. Instantly, the entire heaven and earth shook. One attacked with sound waves, the other with curse power.
Lin Feng grunted, his sword momentum pausing. The other also retreated, his eyes slightly closing, but the sword in his hand pointed toward the heavenly killing staircase above, aiming at Lin Feng, shouting, "Kill!"
The sword staircase seemed to float, transforming into terrifying swords, one after another, all roaring and shooting toward Lin Feng, not at all weaker than each sword Seven Kills had swung earlier.
"Die!" Seven Kills' voice was ice-cold. Both hands raised, infinite grand momentum seemed to stir, the entire heaven and earth about to transform into swords, charging toward Lin Feng.
"Immortal!" Lin Feng swung his sword again. This time, the Sword of Death merged Immortal and Heaven-Earth Grand Momentum completely, slashing until the wind and clouds roared in fury. The sword condensed without dispersing, growing stronger with each kill.
"Come out!" Seven Kills shouted loudly. Instantly, a beam of sword light shot toward the heavens. He reached out, and the heavenly sword was grasped in his palm. Martial Soul sword in hand, endless terrifying heaven-earth grand momentum merged with the sword, about to destroy everything. Before the sword even emerged, a destructive storm was already gathering.
"Strong!" When Lin Feng saw the other's Martial Soul sword bloom, a dazzling light flashed in his eyes. As he swung his sword, the surging demonic qi on his body also went wild, once again condensing into the Mad Demon King shadow. The Demon King roared toward the heavens, about to trample this heaven and earth.
"Come out!" Lin Feng slashed out with his sword. Instantly, the heavenly staircase shattered. This sword seemed to tear open the heavens. An immortal sword beam, eternal and undispersed, condensed in Lin Feng's palm.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" Successive roars shook heaven and earth. The Mad Demon King broke out of his body, stepping out from Lin Feng's form, transforming into a solid Demon King shadow. This Mad Demon stood on Lin Feng's shoulder, slightly hunched, yet radiating infinite wild and domineering aura.
"Take this!" Lin Feng moved his mind. Instantly, the Supreme Sacred Artifact great axe appeared, grasped in the Mad Demon King's hand. At the same time, a phantom great axe appeared in the void — the Xuanyuan Axe, his Martial Soul.
Seven Kills' gaze froze slightly. The Demon King shadow formed from the surging demonic intent within Lin Feng's body had actually condensed into a true Demon King, appearing on Lin Feng's back — a wildly domineering demon head, its enormous pupils radiating terrifying light.
"Finally able to transform into a solid shadow!" Lin Feng's eyes revealed a cold gleam. This Mad Demon had been comprehended on the eighth level of the Demon Divine Hall — a true demon king that trampled heaven and earth. The demonic thought had been devoured by him, relying on terrifying demonic thought and demonic qi to condense into a true demon head.
But all the demonic qi on Lin Feng's body had disappeared, used to merge with the demonic thought and manifest that demon head form. At this moment, his body held only infinite sword intent — lawless and heaven-defying.
Seven Kills' gaze remained still. That sword gathered infinite heaven-earth power, merging with heaven and earth, using the Martial Soul sword to firmly lock onto Lin Feng. No matter how Lin Feng evaded, this sword would definitely strike him.
"Kill!" Seven Kills' sword finally moved, slashing downward. Heaven-earth power merged with the sword, slashing out.
"Roar!" That Mad Demon King roared, crushing heaven and earth. The great axe slashed toward Seven Kills. Unless Seven Kills withdrew this sword, he would have to withstand the attack head-on.
Lin Feng's body also moved, stabbing out sword after sword. In that brief instant, he had already stabbed out countless swords. The immortal Sword of Death charged toward the sword slashing down from the heavens. He did not dodge — the sword was for offense, sharp and penetrating, indestructible, lawless and heaven-defying. Facing Seven Kills' sword, how could his sword retreat?
His body soared into the air. The hundred-zhang immortal sword beam converged, intersecting with the dazzling sword slashing down from the heavens. At this moment, countless people below Sword City raised their heads, watching those two incomparable sword beams intertwining in the sky.
"Watch out!" A sharp voice suddenly came from behind Lin Feng. A terrifying sense of crisis descended upon Lin Feng's back, causing his heart to twitch violently. His expression stiffened and turned ugly. At such a brutal moment of combat, someone had launched a fatal attack at him.
"Assassin!" It seemed he only then remembered — he was facing assassins. The strongest assassins, choosing the most opportune moment to deliver a killing blow.
"Inch of Heaven!" Lin Feng shouted coldly. A void light screen appeared behind him, but it shattered instantly, broken through by the other party. The killing sword was already upon him.
Void power fluctuated. In just an instant, his body could disappear, but the other party would not give him even that brief moment. Would that sword give him time?
"Die!" The Watcher was to Lin Feng's side. At this moment, he suddenly shot his arrow toward the direction of Lin Feng's back. If that assassin killed Lin Feng, he too would have his head pierced by the arrow.
"Whoosh!" The sword cut through the air. Lin Feng's body was already shifting away, but that sword still pierced into Lin Feng's body. The terrifying sword contained intense Killing Essence, rampaging within Lin Feng's body.
Dragon roars rang out. Rustling, rolling sounds emerged. A terrifying demon dragon roar came from within Lin Feng's body, as if it were a true dragon's cry.
The assassin retreated, a cold smile on his face, staring at Lin Feng as he slowly turned around. At this moment, the youth Seven Kills was drenched in blood, his face pale. His gaze looked over, staring at the assassin who had stabbed Lin Feng, saying coldly, "Fourth Kill, wasn't this mission mine?"
"Higher-ups were afraid you couldn't complete the task, so I came to help you," the Fourth Kill laughed. The one who had been fighting Lin Feng earlier was the Third Kill.
"Careful, many more assassins have appeared!" The Watcher approached Lin Feng, his gaze revealing a hint of gravity. Over a dozen people — all quite formidable assassins.
Lin Feng looked at the surging airflow in the void, his face slightly pale. Life Essence was released from his body, healing his injuries, but his gaze remained just as cold, staring at the surging airflow in the void. Two of the Seven Kills — presumably the Third Kill and Fourth Kill — had arrived, along with many other auxiliary assassins. Such a lineup truly showed how highly they regarded him, Lin Feng.
That sword strike had nearly pierced his heart. Fortunately, at the critical moment, his body had shifted slightly, but the feeling of Killing Essence rampaging within his body was absolutely unpleasant. If he hadn't reformed his bloodline, it would have been even worse.
PS: I can still write one more chapter today — nine chapters total. The Martial God novel updates over 110 chapters per month, 300,000 words. Although there are a few monsters on Zhulang that can't be compared, this update speed is at the forefront of the entire web novel industry. Yet some people still like to curse and complain. Would you only feel it's fast if I updated two chapters daily and suddenly released four or five chapters?
