Chapter 1737: The Might of the Nine Sword Tribulation
"Bone cracking!" Lin Feng clearly felt his bones beginning to crack. The murderous aura was overwhelming. If not for his powerful physical body, the opponent's attack might have torn his bones apart and crippled his arm.
"Explode!" The man roared. Cracking sounds echoed continuously. Boundless power surged madly into Lin Feng's arm, causing his bones to show signs of breaking.
"Careless." Lin Feng saw the vicious intent in the other's eyes and his heart trembled. Suddenly, streams of Heavenly Demon Judgment Force spread wildly from his arm, judging and killing everything, annihilating tendons, bones, flesh, and blood. A miserable scream rang out as the opponent's arm shattered inch by inch. The man did not have Lin Feng's physical body, yet he had clashed head-on with Lin Feng. How could he withstand the dual tyrannical forces of the Heavenly Demon Tribulation Force and Judgment?
His arm was blasted apart by the Judgment Force. The man's body retreated wildly, but Lin Feng had already stirred up killing intent. How could he allow the opponent to escape? Rolling murderous aura crushed forward relentlessly. The power of the Earth Law pressed down on the opponent like the weight of ten thousand jun.
"Give you the jade slip!" The man roared. At the same time, his bloodline surged and his soul power burst forth. At this moment, he felt he was facing a life-and-death crisis and prepared to use all his strength.
"Kill!" Lin Feng's speed surged. He would not allow the opponent any chance to resist. The Judgment Tribulation Force directly blasted onto the man's head. A booming explosion rang out as laws spread. The soul that had just begun to emerge was directly scattered. Dead.
"Ruthless enough." A person who had just arrived not far away saw Lin Feng crush and kill someone. His heart trembled, and he quietly slipped away. Lin Feng collected the opponent's storage ring and jade slip, then continued forward with Tantai. Lin Feng had thought he could rely on his powerful physical body to clash head-on with the opponent, but he hadn't expected to be somewhat careless, injured by the opponent's bone-cracking divine ability.
As he advanced, Lin Feng occasionally noticed wind sounds on both sides. Everyone was heading toward the castle. Since the War King Academy's assessment had set the rule that one must collect five jade slips to pass through the castle, everyone would obviously gather at the castle for battle.
Along the way, Lin Feng did not seek out anyone to fight. After some time, he finally arrived at the foot of the vast city. The city gate seemed to cut off this space. In the middle was a large gate. Some people tried to pass through, but without five jade slips, they could not open the passage.
"It seems we are still relatively early." Tantai grinned. The area at the foot of the city gate was vast enough for many people to fight. Besides him and Lin Feng, there were only a few people here. These few stood with their backs to the city gate, looking at the arriving crowd. Each had a solemn and cold expression, with extraordinary bearing.
"You're here too. Have you collected enough jade slips?" At this moment, Tantai spoke to a young man who had just flashed over. It was the young man skilled in the power of immortality.
"Still missing one." The young man smiled, then his gaze fell on Lin Feng, revealing a meaningful smile.
"A Venerable Martial cultivator?" The man showed a hint of surprise, feeling puzzled. Venerable Martial cultivators should not dare to participate in the War King Academy assessment, right? Although outstanding prodigies abounded in Holy City Central Continent, and it was not too rare for Venerable Martial cultivators to fight Martial Emperors, the Emperors who came to participate in the War King Academy assessment were no ordinary Martial Emperors. Their strength was definitely not weak. To seize a place with a Venerable Martial cultivation was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Some people were skilled in techniques to conceal their cultivation, deliberately hiding their true strength so that others could not easily see through them. This was not unusual. The person before him might be such a case.
"Don't try to take his jade slips. Even if you helped me, I wouldn't stand by and watch." Tantai said to the immortal young man.
The man smiled calmly, then stood to one side, turning to look at the arriving crowd. There were many people coming and going. There was no need to snatch from Lin Feng. Besides, Tantai was not weak, and Lin Feng's background was unclear to him.
"Great Pest." At this moment, Great Pest's figure came rolling in. His steps stomped on the ground, causing the earth to tremble continuously. Around him, wild dragon energy surged, fierce and unrestrained.
But at this moment, Great Pest seemed to be having a hard time. Behind him, two people were pursuing him, apparently unwilling to let him go.
"It's him." Tantai's huge eyes flashed with a cold light. Behind the two pursuers was another figure—Shang Yu. His speed was neither fast nor slow, as if he were toying with Great Pest, chasing behind him, wanting to see how he would escape.
"Roar!" Tantai roared. His steps stomped wildly, shaking mountains and rivers. He pounced directly at one person. Thousands of Lion King forces surged out. Instantly, the sky was filled with rolling demon lions, swallowing mountains and rivers, blasting toward one of them. Seeing Tantai's rescue, Great Pest also turned abruptly and attacked the other person. His barbaric dragon body was imposing, dragon energy mournful, with the aura of cleansing the universe. He was domineering and fierce, as if a war dragon had possessed him, with rolling dragon roars emanating from his body.
"Not bad. It seems Great Pest has improved a lot. He must have benefited greatly from Tantai's tribe." Lin Feng watched the battle with a smile. Great Pest's fighting style seemed to have some of Tantai's momentum, as if endless barbaric dragon energy was rolling out, much like Tantai's Lion King force. He wondered what the former Heavenly Dragon Elephant force had been like.
Shang Yu did not join the battle. He stood there, watching the fight with a cold expression, his gaze fixed on Tantai's battle. Tantai's strength was greater than Great Pest's, more domineering and fierce, as if his entire body was filled with Lion King force. With one move, thousands of Lion Kings roared in rage, killing heaven and earth, crushing the sky, extremely firm and fierce.
A beautiful figure rolled in. It was Princess Yuwen, Yuwen Jing. Seeing her, Shang Yu's face showed a smile. He nodded slightly at her and said, "Princess Yuwen."
"Shang Yu, your talent and strength are not as good as your elder brother Shang Jun. Participating in the War King Academy assessment now seems a bit forced." Yuwen Jing said calmly to Shang Yu. Shang Yu did not get angry. If someone else had said this, he might have taken offense. But since it was Yuwen Jing speaking, it was different. This woman was not only of noble status but also had extraordinary talent, very formidable.
"Princess Yuwen's words, Shang Yu will remember. But over this past year, Shang Yu has participated in the academy assessment many times. I must become a student of the academy. If not this time, I will fight again next time." Shang Yu said calmly. Princess Yuwen nodded slightly and said, "It's good to have this determination. I hope you can be like your elder brother."
"This princess of the Yuwen family is indeed remarkable. Strong in strength, outstanding in appearance, she is the center of attention wherever she goes." Beside Lin Feng, the immortal young man said with a smile. It was unclear whether it was sarcasm or sincere. At this moment, there were indeed several people around Yuwen Jing, all young geniuses, seemingly guarding her.
"Today's battle is all for the War King Academy assessment. There's no need to talk about fair fighting. I won't be polite." Shang Yu sneered. Then he stepped forward, his aura rolling, directly pouncing at Great Pest. First, eliminate Great Pest, then deal with Tantai.
Shang Yu's speed was extremely fast. He rolled toward Great Pest's figure. His palms suddenly slashed out. In the void, a terrifying great demon ancient saber appeared, like a demon dancing wildly, slashing down from the sky. Everything was to be split open, torn to pieces.
"Get lost!" Great Pest roared. A dragon shadow rolled and roared, soaring upward, crashing into the ancient demon saber. The saber's momentum was blocked, but the dragon shadow was also cut off.
Just as the ancient demon saber slashed down, Shang Yu felt a terrifying tribulation force attacking. Overwhelming killing intent rolled and roared, surging like a tidal wave. His gaze turned cold. His eyes swept toward Lin Feng. The great saber turned, slashing out in fury. The void trembled, and his figure was also forced back.
"Kill!" The tribulation sword directly stabbed at the person fighting Great Pest. The terrifying tribulation sword howled wildly, dancing in the void, tearing apart that person's body, destroying his soul.
In the end, the Nine Tribulation Swords coiled around Lin Feng, circling and dancing, like a god of slaughter.
"You ambushed me." Shang Yu saw Lin Feng kill one person, and his face turned ashen. This guy, with Venerable Martial cultivation, actually controlled nine tribulation sword forces. Each tribulation sword force contained terrifying attack power, extremely dangerous.
"I learned from you." Lin Feng said coldly. He stepped forward step by step toward Shang Yu and said, "Great Pest, go help Tantai. Kill."
"Alright." Since the other party was shameless, Great Pest would not hesitate. Seeing Lin Feng's formidable strength, he was pleasantly surprised. Venerable Martial cultivation was just an appearance. The nine tribulation swords around Lin Feng already carried a terrifying deterrent force.
"Unfortunately, we really did meet." Lin Feng's expression was icy. Demonic intent swirled around him, and killing intent leaked out.
The great demon ancient saber appeared in Shang Yu's hand, and killing intent also surged. His voice was cold: "Let's see if your tribulation sword is sharper or my demon saber."
"Then watch closely." Lin Feng's voice was cold. With a thought, a tribulation sword shot through the air, stabbing at Shang Yu. Shang Yu raised his hand and slashed out. The saber light seemed to split the void. But in an instant, another sword stabbed over, forcing Shang Yu to turn his saber blade and slash horizontally.
The third tribulation sword descended. Shang Yu's palm trembled repeatedly. The fourth tribulation sword arrived. Shang Yu's face turned ugly.
The power of the Wind Law wrapped around the tribulation swords. Lin Feng stepped forward, pressing down. The tribulation swords became faster and fiercer, howling through the air.
Shang Yu's strength was indeed not bad. The great demon ancient saber slashed out terrifying saber techniques, cutting through everything, breaking the void, impenetrable. Before him, countless pitch-black demon saber shadows flickered, extremely domineering and fierce.
But when all nine tribulation swords were imbued with the power of the Wind Law, they coiled around Shang Yu, howling and rolling. Shang Yu could only struggle to hold on. Lin Feng stood there calmly, hands behind his back, causing the onlookers' hearts to tremble. This guy's strength was so formidable. Without moving, he had already suppressed Shang Yu so miserably.
"Ah..." A miserable scream rang out. A tribulation sword slashed onto Shang Yu's left hand, severing an arm. Shang Yu's face was icy. He used his martial soul. The great demon ancient saber floated behind him, but still could not withstand the onslaught of the nine tribulation swords.
"Enough." At this moment, Yuwen Jing stepped forward, standing in the void, speaking coldly to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng turned his head and glanced at Yuwen Jing. He heard Yuwen Jing continue: "I order you to stop."
A cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's pitch-black eyes as he looked at Yuwen Jing, who was giving orders from the void. This woman seemed accustomed to being above others, using a tone that demanded obedience.
