# Chapter 1723: Capture

"Heavenly Derivation Chessboard!" The members of the Cang Clan narrowed their eyes. Lin Feng had used the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard before at Cold Moon Lake to kill many Martial Emperor level experts, even killing Mid-rank Emperors without issue. Now that the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard had appeared again, they would have a hard time dealing with Lin Feng.

The light suddenly became dazzlingly bright. Those Cang Clan experts all summoned their Imperial Artifacts, but none of them could compare to the Cang King Armor, which was at the Imperial Weapon level. The strongest among them was only a Mid-rank Emperor. If they borrowed the power of their Imperial Artifacts, they could still unleash terrifying force, enough to obliterate Lin Feng's physical body and kill him.

"Comparing weapons?" Lin Feng sneered coldly. The light of the sun blazed brilliantly as Lin Feng's right hand held the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel. This Eight Treasures Sun Wheel was a treasure he had seized when he killed Yang Yan. It was also an Imperial Weapon, which could be activated using the power of Flame Law to unleash devastating force.

"These members of the Cang Clan only seem to remember that Lin Feng has killed many people, but they forget that Lin Feng also controls the weapons of those he has slain," the crowd below thought to themselves. Besides the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard and the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel, Lin Feng still had many other powerful weapons, such as the Thunder King Hammer from the Thunder Clan. However, with the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard and the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel, the Thunder King Hammer seemed unnecessary.

"I'd like to see just how you plan to kill me." Lin Feng's cold gaze locked onto Cang Xiao as he spoke icily. At the same time, the power of Flame Law seeped into the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel. Instantly, a dazzling sun appeared on the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel, containing overwhelming destructive pressure that surged wildly. With this kind of Imperial Weapon, Lin Feng's Law power naturally couldn't utilize its full energy, but being able to unleash even a fraction of its power was enough to possess terrifying destructive force.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, Lin Feng's body vanished from where he stood, moving like the wind, swift as lightning. A Cang Clan expert felt a terrifying sun might envelop his body, causing his expression to change drastically. He tried to flee, but the light of the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel stabbed straight toward him, as if to blind his eyes. Then, that sun exploded outward, transforming into a stream of solar light that instantly struck his body, causing him to ignite completely and vanish in the flames of the sun in an instant.

Several palm strikes simultaneously blasted toward Lin Feng, but his left hand trembled. The Heavenly Derivation Chessboard expanded to block in front of him, deflecting all the attacks. At the same time, Lin Feng's palm pressed against the back of the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard. Terrifying formation might surged forth, directly piercing through one person's head, killing him.

"If they didn't use weapons, they could still fight. But now that they're all using weapons, the Cang Clan members are just seeking their own deaths," the crowd below thought. The Heavenly Derivation Chessboard could defend, the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel could attack, and Lin Feng's movement technique was fast. These people simply couldn't fight him. Only Cang Xiao possessed a weapon that could contend with Lin Feng's, and even that was a defensive weapon. Cang Xiao's own strength was insufficient to threaten Lin Feng.

Formation talismans shattered, and Lin Feng's figure directly disappeared from where he stood. The Eight Treasures Sun Wheel swept out, and solar light flashed directly past one person's head, causing flames to ignite once again.

His divine sense power frantically evolved, and the aura of annihilation and extinction surged from the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard, causing the expressions of the Cang Clan members to turn extremely ugly.

"Retreat." Cang Xiao made an immediate decision, decisively retreating into the distance. The other Cang Clan members also flashed backward, unable to continue the battle.

"Wu!" Lin Feng roared angrily. Wu's expression turned cold, but his body still shot upward, transforming into his true form—the Golden Crow Sun Divine Bird—and charged forward, passing beneath Lin Feng.

Lin Feng stepped onto the back of Wu's massive body, his gaze fixed on the fleeing Cang Clan members in the distance. His expression was icy cold, killing intent spilling out. They wanted to leave after trying to kill him? There was no such good fortune.

"Whoosh!" The power of Wind Law seeped out from beneath Lin Feng's feet, enveloping Wu's true body, further increasing his speed, making it even more terrifying.

"Boom!" A burst of flame light exploded from the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel. A Low-rank Emperor didn't even have time to let out a scream before dying instantly.

At the same time, Wu grabbed another person with his beak. A stream of solar fire shot from his massive beak, enveloping another person's body, causing him to burn to death in the flames. Wu's body charged directly past the man and continued chasing the others.

The terrifying speed of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, combined with Lin Feng's Wind Law power, meant that even the Mid-rank Emperors of the Cang Clan, who were not proficient in Wind or Space Law, couldn't match their speed.

"Block him!" Cang Xiao roared angrily. He summoned a pair of winged Imperial Artifacts, causing his speed to become ferociously fast. At the same time, he crushed a jade slip, his expression extremely ugly.

"Lin Feng, if I don't kill you, I'm not human!" Cang Xiao roared. When had he, Cang Xiao, ever suffered such humiliation? Being frantically chased by Lin Feng like a stray dog.

"Whoosh!" Two Mid-rank Emperors fled in opposite directions. At this critical moment of life and death, who would go and block Lin Feng for him? In the martial path, preserving one's own life was the most important thing. Loyalty—what use was it if you were dead? They had spent so many years to reach the Mid-rank Emperor realm; how could they die like this? It would be too unjust. Of course they had to flee.

"Traitors! You will die horribly!" Cang Xiao roared. Since they fled in opposite directions, Lin Feng would only chase him. If it weren't for the Imperial Artifact wings on his body, he feared Lin Feng would have already caught up to him.

"Cang Xiao, you keep saying you want to kill me, yet now you're fleeing like a stray dog. Don't you feel any shame?" Lin Feng's voice rolled like thunder, containing terrifying penetrating power. He infused the power of the Demon Curse into it, causing Cang Xiao's will to waver. That voice kept echoing in his mind.

He, Cang Xiao, was a direct descendant of the Cang Clan, an outstanding disciple. And now he had to flee in such a humiliating manner. It truly was a disgrace.

"Stop now. Let's fight without any weapons, one on one." Lin Feng's voice roared out again, directly entering Cang Xiao's mind.

"Fight?" Cang Xiao's resolve wavered, and his speed seemed to slow down slightly.

Just as his mind was shaken, Lin Feng suddenly crushed several formation talismans in succession. His body crossed the distance several times in an instant, rapidly closing the gap with Cang Xiao.

"Earth!" Lin Feng roared, his palm trembling violently. The space shook, as if a powerful gravitational force was acting on Cang Xiao, causing his body to sink slightly. At the same time, the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel in Lin Feng's hand suddenly blasted forward. The destructive solar light directly struck the Imperial Artifact wings on Cang Xiao's back. In an instant, the Imperial Artifact shattered and exploded. Cang Xiao's body was also sent stumbling forward by the force, but he remained unharmed. The terrifying Cang King Armor had absorbed the attack's power.

"Boom!" Lin Feng stomped on the void, as if the very heavens and earth trembled. Cang Xiao decided not to continue fleeing. He slowly turned around. The Cang King Armor covered every part of his body, appearing extremely majestic and dazzling. Only his pitch-black pupils remained visible, still radiating overwhelming coldness as he stared fixedly at Lin Feng.

"Let's see how you plan to kill me." Cang Xiao's icy voice rang out. He was clad in the Cang King Armor. How could Lin Feng possibly kill him? Now that he had stopped, he didn't need to hold out for long. The family head, Cang Ling, would soon arrive. That would be Lin Feng's time of death.

"Wu, you go back. Return to the Demon Realm with Qing Feng and Suan." Lin Feng spoke to Wu behind him. Wu and the other two were descendants of three great demon beasts of the Demon Realm. The Cang Clan would absolutely not dare to do anything to them. Moreover, this matter was his doing alone. The Cang Clan would not take their anger out on Wu and the others.

Wu's deep solar eyes flickered. He hadn't expected that at a time like this, Lin Feng would ask him to leave. What was this guy thinking?

"Alright." Wu uttered a single word, then let out a furious roar. His body flew backward, leaving this place.

Lin Feng stepped forward. Cang Xiao snorted coldly. The Cang King Armor expanded again, sealing even his exposed eyes. His fist fiercely blasted toward Lin Feng.

However, a palace suddenly appeared in Lin Feng's hand. He fiercely smashed it toward Cang Xiao. A dull boom rang out. Cang Xiao's defensive power was terrifying. The Jade Emperor Palace naturally couldn't shake him, but it pressed Cang Xiao's body continuously downward toward the ground.

The people in the city saw a palace falling from the sky, and their hearts trembled violently. Who was fighting, directly using a palace to crush someone?

"Dodge!" Figures suddenly scattered. Those beneath the Jade Emperor Palace all evaded. Then, a thunderous explosion rang out, as if the very heavens and earth were collapsing. People in the distance stared at that vast palace, their gazes flickering uncertainly.

Many members of the Chu Family had also come to watch the excitement. But when the palace crashed to the ground and there was no further movement, they showed puzzled expressions. If Lin Feng and Cang Xiao were fighting underground, there should have been some sign of activity, right?

At this moment, in a distant place, Cang Ling was crossing the void at terrifying speed. But then, his footsteps suddenly stopped. A frightening cold light flashed in his eyes.

"What's going on?" Cang Ling's expression turned ugly. He took out a jade slip. He could no longer sense any fluctuation from Cang Xiao.

"Dead?" Cang Ling took out another item—Cang Xiao's soul slip. It was still intact, not shattered. This meant Cang Xiao was still alive. But why was there no fluctuation at all, as if he had evaporated from the world?

However, Cang Ling only paused for a moment before continuing to step forward, heading toward the last location where Cang Xiao's aura had fluctuated. When he arrived, he only saw a massive palace sitting on the ground. The crowd was gathered around the palace, watching with curious expressions.

"Where is my clan's Cang Xiao?" Cang Ling's expression was icy as he asked the people before him.

"Senior, Lin Feng and Brother Cang Xiao were fighting. Lin Feng smashed this palace onto Cang Xiao, driving him into the ground. After that, there was no more movement," someone replied to Cang Ling. Cang Ling's face turned ashen. He struck out with a palm strike. With a thunderous explosion, the Jade Emperor Palace shattered, exploding in an instant.
