Chapter 1835: Annihilation
Lin Feng looked at that person and smiled slightly, saying, "If you think so, then so be it."
Seeing that Lin Feng did not deny it, a brief silence fell over the tavern, followed by an uproar. This young man might indeed be Lin Feng.
"Master, who is Lin Feng?" At this moment, a young man asked the elder beside him. Lin Feng had disappeared from the Small World for many years. Some young people around the age of twenty did not know his name, but those over thirty in the martial arts world were certainly familiar with it.
"One of the eleven personal disciples of the Heavenly Terrace back then, and the most terrifying one. During the Covenant of the Emperors, he transformed into Mu Feng and slaughtered in all directions. The nine princes of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress were almost all killed by him, and too many monstrous descendants of the Qi family died at his hands. In short, during that era ten years ago, his brilliance overshadowed almost all other geniuses and prodigies. Even the Ten Great Prodigies of that time could only share some of the glory with the other eleven personal disciples of the Heavenly Terrace." The elder introduced him to the younger generation, his eyes flashing with sharpness as he stared at Lin Feng.
"Master once told me that the previous generation was a prosperous era, with countless geniuses emerging in the Eight Wastelands Realm. Lin Feng... he was actually this formidable." The young man was quite shocked and secretly glanced at Lin Feng. This young man wore a white robe, with no trace of aura fluctuation, yet standing there casually, he indeed gave off an unfathomable depth. And with their cultivation not reaching Lin Feng's level, they could not discern his strength.
Not only Lin Feng, but even the two beautiful women beside him were impossible for them to read.
"If he really is Lin Feng, returning from that legendary Great World after so many years, his strength is probably beyond imagination. No wonder he dared to order the Carefree Sect Leader to await orders at the Sword Pavilion." The elder's eyes were sharp. Whether it was Lin Feng would probably only be known tomorrow. Would the Carefree Sect Leader really come to the Sword Pavilion to await orders?
Having his identity exposed in the tavern, Lin Feng could no longer stay there peacefully and soon left.
Until the same hour the next day, outside the Sword Pavilion, many people from the surrounding area came to watch. The news that Lin Feng might have reappeared in the Eight Wastelands had already spread, and there were even rumors that Lin Feng had ordered the Carefree Sect to come to the Sword Pavilion to await orders.
At this moment, in the distant void, a group of figures surged forward. They were not from the Carefree Sect.
"That's Emperor Wen, and Emperor Sikong—people from the Wen family and the Sikong family." The crowd's pupils contracted slightly. They saw that group of rolling figures descend in front of the Sword Pavilion, arriving with a menacing air.
"Not just Emperor Wen; even the Mid-rank Emperor of the Wen family has arrived. Could it be because of that beam of light that tore through the void yesterday? Rumor has it that it might have been Senior Skyless Sword Emperor. Could this be related to that matter?" The crowd speculated in their hearts.
"The Carefree Sect has also arrived, but only one person—the Carefree Sect Leader." The crowd's gaze fell on a figure stepping through the void, carefree and unrestrained, arriving outside the Sword Pavilion in an instant.
Figures flickered out from within the Sword Pavilion, led by Sword Tomb and the others. They looked at the figures before them: the Wen family, the Sikong family, and the Carefree Sect. These three forces were the king-level powers of the Central Wasteland. His Sword Pavilion, because Skyless Sword Emperor did not concern himself with worldly affairs, had always been subordinate to others.
"Nephew Lin Feng has returned. Since we are all here, shouldn't you show yourself?" At this moment, the Mid-rank Emperor of the Wen family spoke, his voice carrying a pressing momentum. To send word for the Wen family and the Sikong family to come to the Sword Pavilion and await orders—this Lin Feng had quite the nerve. Lin Feng had stayed in the Great World; he should understand that behind the Wen family stood the Wen Heavenly Fortress. Even if he was powerful, what could he do? Unless that old recluse, Skyless Sword Emperor, was willing to stand up for him.
A figure flickered out from the giant sword. It was Lin Feng and Wu. Seeing Wu's figure, the Carefree Sect Leader's mouth twitched slightly. This bastard was a demon beast, unruly and domineering. Yesterday, he had ruthlessly tormented him, and his strength was terrifying.
"Are you all here?" Lin Feng swept his gaze over the crowd and spoke calmly.
"We are here. May I ask what advice Nephew Lin Feng has to offer?" Wen Emperor's father spoke with a hint of coldness in his voice. Beside him, to the left and right, were two Martial Emperors. One was Wen Emperor, his expression cold, while the other was a beautiful woman, exceptionally stunning.
Now that Wen Aoxue had shed her male disguise, she still preferred to wear white clothes. The long dress outlined her graceful and heroic figure, making her especially alluring.
"When you dressed as a man, you were more beautiful than a woman. Now that you wear women's clothes, you truly outshine many beauties." Lin Feng's gaze fell on Wen Aoxue, and he smiled slightly, ignoring Wen Emperor's father's words.
"Do you prefer me in men's or women's clothes?" Wen Aoxue asked, her voice clear, moving, with a hint of magnetism, no longer a man's tone.
"Women's clothes, of course." Lin Feng replied calmly.
Wen Aoxue smiled, a radiant smile that made people lose focus. "I would also prefer to appear before you like this."
But Lin Feng shook his head and said, "At least now, you are more real."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Wen Aoxue's smile froze slightly. Then Lin Feng asked, "Was the second assassination of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance you?"
Wen Aoxue's expression stiffened again. She stared at Lin Feng in surprise but remained silent. This scene already told Lin Feng the answer.
"Wen Aoxue is a member of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance!" Many people's pupils contracted slightly, showing expressions of surprise. Especially those who had experienced that era in the past were even more astonished.
"You have deceived me several times already." Lin Feng closed his eyes slightly and sighed. Back when they were fellow disciples, when Duan Wuya exterminated his family, Wen Aoxue had not helped—that was understandable, as she had no connection to his family. But Yan Yu Pingsheng was Wen Aoxue's master. Although Wen Aoxue had shown regret, she was still a member of the Wen family. Lin Feng had not dwelled on it later, but everything that followed with the Wen family still seemed so hypocritical.
Wen Aoxue's eyes stiffened. Seeing Lin Feng's sigh, she seemed to feel a trace of sadness and said, "Lin Feng, even now, I still consider you a friend. We can be on good terms."
"That's impossible!" A rolling, cold voice came from the void. A figure stepped through the air, exuding an intense chill. This person wore a golden long robe, but his vast righteous qi was exceptionally cold, like the power of the Netherworld.
"Jun Moxi!" A sharp light flashed in Wen Aoxue's eyes. He had also returned to the Eight Wastelands.
"Moxi, what's going on?" Lin Feng asked Jun Moxi in the void. Beside Jun Moxi stood a beautiful woman, Xiao Die, looking quite haggard. Her gaze toward the Wen family members was clearly very cold, seemingly filled with killing intent.
"The Wen family and the Medicine King Immortal Palace destroyed the Undying Heavenly Palace." Jun Moxi's voice was like ice, causing Lin Feng's heart to tremble slightly. He closed his eyes and uttered a voice: "From now on, in the Eight Wastelands, there will be no more Wen family!"
Lin Feng's words made Wen Aoxue's heart tremble slightly, while Wen Emperor's father's pupils flashed with a sharp cold light. "Ridiculous. Lin Feng, even if you truly have the strength to destroy my Wen family, you should understand that the Wen Heavenly Fortress is not someone you can afford to provoke!"
"The Wen Heavenly Fortress no longer exists." A cold light flashed in Wu's eyes, causing Wen Emperor's father's expression to stiffen. He stared at Wu and said, "Who are you to speak such nonsense here? Ridiculous."
"Whoosh!" Wu suddenly attacked, lunging straight at Wen Emperor's father. His palms suddenly blazed like the sun, emitting a terrifying pressure.
Wen Emperor's father's pupils contracted slightly. Powerful laws of void space gathered, his long robe fluttered, and he stepped forward, striking at Wu.
"Boom!" The two collided. A terrifying force swept the surroundings. A surge of blazing sun fire spread along Wen Emperor's father's palm, eroding his body, causing him to retreat explosively, his face changing drastically. This physical body and laws were both terrifying.
"Facing a Mid-rank Emperor!" The crowd's pupils contracted. The unruly young man beside Lin Feng could directly clash with a Mid-rank Emperor. How terrifying.
Jun Moxi unleashed a terrifying cold nether power, spreading down from the sky. He stepped forward, descending like a Nether King.
"Boom!" A fist broke through the air. The cold nether power poured down, enveloping the entire void. All the Wen family members were engulfed by this cold nether power, instantly turning into ice sculptures.
"Kill!" Jun Moxi's voice was icy. The cold nether power twisted and killed, and in an instant, several Wen family experts died on the spot. The surrounding people's faces changed drastically. How could this be so terrifying?
Wen Aoxue looked shocked, staring at Lin Feng in front of her, and asked, "Is the Wen Heavenly Fortress really gone?"
"I rebuilt the Heavenly Terrace in the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region. The Wen Heavenly Fortress was the first to oppose me. I personally led people to annihilate it. The Qi Heavenly Fortress and the Medicine King Immortal Palace no longer exist." Lin Feng's calm voice made Wen Aoxue's face turn pale. Wu and Jun Moxi's violent attacks were unrestrained, slaughtering the Wen family experts. Whether it was Wen Emperor or the Mid-rank Emperor, they were all retreating in defeat.
This kind of massacre made Wen Aoxue lose focus for a moment. So fast. She had not expected Lin Feng and the others to rise so quickly.
The surrounding crowd could not even understand what was happening before them. It felt like an illusion. The powerful Wen family of the Central Wasteland was so vulnerable before two young men?
"Boom!" A terrifying force struck Wen Aoxue's body, causing blood to spurt from her mouth. Her body rushed toward Lin Feng. This scene made Lin Feng pause slightly. Wen Aoxue had not resisted at all.
"Since you say the Wen Heavenly Fortress has been destroyed by you, of course I won't doubt your words. Everything is fate. I only ask to die by your hand." Wen Aoxue suddenly smiled, a stunning smile.
Seeing that tragic and beautiful smile, Lin Feng's expression froze slightly. He glanced at Jun Moxi over there, then slowly extended his palm, striking directly at Wen Aoxue. A destructive death force raged within Wen Aoxue's body. With a final smile, her body softly fell toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng caught Wen Aoxue. She uttered her last words: "In this life, I have had many regrets, but dying in your arms at my most beautiful moment is perfect."
With those final words, Wen Aoxue closed her eyes.
