Chapter 1857: One Against Six
On the Nether Emperor battle platforms, Sword Blind was the first to select opponents and fight. On the lower-rank Nether Emperor platform, Lin Feng took the lead, choosing opponents to battle until he achieved nine consecutive victories. A single defeat would immediately eliminate him. However, the one who chose first also had an advantage: if familiar with these opponents, he could avoid those he considered formidable and fight from the weak to the strong.
"Nine consecutive victories should not be difficult for this child," Black Rope Commander said calmly. Even Qin Yao nodded slightly and said, "Naturally. With Lin Feng's strength, nine consecutive victories pose no problem. He will surely obtain the privilege."
Lin Feng had personally defeated her not long ago. If she claimed Lin Feng could not do it, it would undoubtedly mean she herself could not either.
"However, these twelve are no easy opponents either. Being able to win a hundred battles in a row already marks them as geniuses. Let's see how he defeats them one by one," Black Rope Commander said with a smile. At this moment, Lin Feng swept his gaze across the crowd. He was completely unfamiliar with these people before him, not recognizing a single one.
"At the lower-rank emperor realm, winning a hundred battles in a row means they are far from mediocre. These twelve experts likely possess combat power ranking in the top twenty of the War King Academy's Hidden King List: Human List. If I fight them separately, it will naturally be easy. Let me first test their strength," Lin Feng thought to himself. Then he pointed at one of them and said, "Sir, please step forward and fight."
"Gold Judge." Everyone's eyes fell on the person Lin Feng had pointed to. This man wore a luxurious golden long robe, had a round face, and a somewhat plump build. Though not comparable to Black Prison, he still appeared somewhat bloated. His surname was Jin, and his most proficient law power was the Metal Law. He was called Gold Judge because of his golden judgment brush, which could determine life and death with boundless power. Some said, "One stroke of the golden brush, and life and death are decided."
Gold Judge was quite displeased at being challenged by Lin Feng. After all, everyone had witnessed Lin Feng's formidable strength. If he lost, it would count as a defeat. Even if he only responded to challenges passively, four defeats would disqualify him from further battles, reducing him to nothing more than a foil for others to fight alongside.
The two leaped to the center of the battle platform, while the others stood at the edges, watching them.
"Buzz!" Golden light spread everywhere. Gold Judge's body suddenly vanished from its spot. Despite his plump figure, his speed was completely unaffected, extremely fast. Suddenly, golden radiance scattered across the heavens. Lin Feng felt as if a rain of golden droplets was shooting toward him, each drop as sharp as a blade, causing the void to whistle with wind.
An even more dazzling golden light burst forth. A terrifying sharp aura rushed straight at Lin Feng. Gold Judge produced a judgment brush in his hand, seemingly forged from pure gold.
The judgment brush traced through the void, and a dreadful killing force slashed out. Lin Feng felt as if his body were about to be torn apart. The opponent's judgment brush seemed capable of cutting through space itself.
"This judgment slash is like a sword of the void, killing from a distance with formidable power, incorporating Metal Law and Void Law within it."
Lin Feng's palms trembled, and several ancient cauldrons emitted a clanging sound. Those powerful attacks struck the giant cauldrons, their echoes lingering.
"Nine Cauldrons Suppress the Heavens!" Lin Feng's palms continuously trembled, and the giant cauldrons roared furiously. At the same time, Wind Law wrapped around his body. Suddenly, he appeared in the air, charging forward together with the ancient cauldrons.
"Imprison!" Lin Feng grabbed at the void with his palm, and a prison appeared. However, Gold Judge, the moment Lin Feng used the imprisonment technique, slashed fiercely at the void, tearing the prison apart.
"Judgment!" Lin Feng's divine eyes flashed like lightning, sharp and fierce. Heavenly Demon Tribulation Force judged the opponent's body, while a terrifying gravitational force pressed down, restricting the opponent's movements.
Gold Judge's expression turned ugly. Lin Feng's multiple attacks, with the nine cauldrons carrying terrifying power as they blasted toward him, left him with no way to defeat Lin Feng.
"I concede this battle!" Gold Judge uttered a single word. Since defeat was certain, it was better to admit defeat early and focus his strength on the subsequent battles. Otherwise, if he clashed head-on with Lin Feng and got injured, it would be greatly disadvantageous.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng restrained his Judgment attack. However, the nine cauldrons had already been launched, colliding with the opponent's judgment brush. The echoes lingered, reverberating through the void.
First battle, Lin Feng wins!
"Without any effort. At this rate, nine consecutive victories will be no challenge!" the spectators thought to themselves. Gold Judge was also a hundred-battle victor, yet after fighting for only a short while, he admitted inferiority. At this pace, Lin Feng would soon achieve nine consecutive victories.
Just as the crowd expected, Lin Feng quickly won two more battles. The opponents didn't even fight him at full strength, stopping at the touch of a feather to conserve their power for later opponents.
After winning three battles in a row, Lin Feng felt a surging, rolling energy within his body. This level of combat seemed unable to stir his blood. He swept his gaze across the crowd, then stood in the center of the battle platform and said in a low voice, "Fighting one by one, all holding back, is meaningless. Winning nine consecutive victories like this is pointless. There are six battles left. Lin Feng doesn't want to waste any more time. All six of you, come at once!"
As Lin Feng's words fell, everyone's expressions froze, their faces stiffening. Although what Lin Feng said was true, the way he said it was undeniably arrogant and overbearing. To him, winning such battles was meaningless, so he invited six people to fight him alone. How arrogant was that?
These people standing on the battle platform were all hundred-battle victors. Lin Feng's boast that defeating them was meaningless and his challenge to fight six at once—even the two commanders on the viewing platform were stunned, showing expressions of astonishment.
"I didn't expect him to be so arrogant," Wang Zhuo said, his eyes flickering as he looked at Lin Feng. "Six hundred-battle victors, some of them terrifying figures, like the Six Nether Prison Young Masters. Their combined combat power far exceeds that of individuals. Even a formidable mid-rank emperor wouldn't dare make such a boast."
"What's wrong with a young man being hot-blooded and arrogant? Besides, the previous three fought with restraint, hardly like hundred-battle victors. Disappointing. Lin Feng's disdain to continue like this is his true nature," Green Lotus Commander said calmly. His voice was not suppressed, and its unique penetrating power reached everyone's ears, causing the three who had just fought Lin Feng on the platform to feel their faces burn with shame.
"After watching the battle, we'll know if he's spouting arrogant nonsense or truly has the strength," Qingqing said with a gentle smile. Wang Zhuo's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal as he laughed, "True. It seems my insight is shallow. After this battle, we'll judge again."
On the battle platform, the others heard Lin Feng's arrogant words and the commanders' discussion, feeling displeased. They were all hundred-battle victors, geniuses. Why had they come here today? To make a name for themselves in front of the City Lord's Mansion. But Lin Feng's appearance had stolen all the spotlight, making them feel completely ignored. Everyone's attention was on Lin Feng.
"This battle was supposed to be fair, one-on-one duels. I shouldn't have joined forces to fight you. But since you've made such a boast, even if I'm criticized, I want to test your formidable combat power," one person said, stepping forward with sharp battle intent.
"This is the spirit of a man. If you want to fight, why care about what others say? The victor is king, the loser a bandit. If you lose easily in one-on-one duels, what face do you have to stay here? Even if you manage to get nine consecutive victories through trickery, you'll still be overshadowed today. Better to step out, defeat me, and then duel among yourselves."
Lin Feng's voice carried a grand and imposing spirit, earning praise from many. Regardless of whether Lin Feng was spouting arrogant nonsense, such boldness impressed quite a few people. He had guts.
Suddenly, figures flickered. In an instant, six people surrounded Lin Feng, no longer speaking. Only a terrifying aura surged like ocean waves, as if this momentum alone could crush Lin Feng.
"Let's fight!" Lin Feng suddenly released a vast, dark tribulation radiance. A terrifying demonic aura surged and rolled, causing the entire void to seem to give birth to a dreadful demon cloud. Above the demon cloud, Heavenly Demon Tribulation Force rolled endlessly, descending upon Lin Feng like infinite lightning. At this moment, Lin Feng was completely bathed in Heavenly Demon Tribulation Force, his entire body like a Ten Thousand Calamities Body.
"Buzz!" A dazzling light flashed. The Linen-clad Young Master attacked first. A terrifying dark power descended from the sky, blotting out the sun. Suddenly, Lin Feng felt as if he had transformed into a hell, the heavens sealed off.
"Heaven Net Earth Trap Technique." Everyone's divine eyes flashed like lightning. The others also made their moves. A terrifying saber light slashed horizontally at his waist, carrying boundless power. At the same time, scorching dark flames, a formidable earth demon hammer—all of these came crashing toward Lin Feng in an instant. Lin Feng was immediately engulfed by the attacks.
Lin Feng's hands trembled as he tore outward in both directions. The Heavenly Demon Tribulation Force of the entire void was guided by his hands, suddenly transforming into a net of ten thousand calamities that continuously exploded in the air. The various terrifying attacks collided with the tribulation net, producing sharp, dreadful howls.
Stomping the ground, Lin Feng's figure shot into the sky. His palms trembled continuously. War chariots galloped, war waves surged skyward. At the same time, he wielded the tribulation force, transforming it into a dazzlingly brilliant sword. He slashed through the void. The dark sword light tore open the sky, ripping apart the Heaven Net Earth Trap. Then Lin Feng's body charged out.
"Where do you think you're going!" the Linen-clad Young Master shouted coldly. His palms struck out in a killing motion. Void Law coiled around Lin Feng's body, forming a spatial cage that tightly bound him.
"This one must be eliminated first!" Lin Feng's pupils turned pitch-black, like an ancient war king descending upon the world. He tore with his bare hands. A cracking sound rang out, and then a powerful earth demon hammer smashed toward his head from above.
Lin Feng let out a great roar. His palm directly grabbed toward the earth demon hammer, intending to catch it with his bare flesh. At the same time, infinite Heavenly Demon Tribulation Force rolled within his palm, coiling around the demon hammer.
"Boom!" A muffled sound echoed through heaven and earth. The terrifying hammer struck Lin Feng's palm, producing a cracking noise. Lin Feng's tiger's mouth seemed about to split open, oozing traces of blood. Yet Lin Feng forcibly held it in place, as if possessing divine strength, like an ancient god!
