# Chapter 1943: Intercept and Kill
"This guy... did he really come all the way from a small place as a martial cultivator?" The crowd's hearts trembled. The Heavenly Derivation Scripture, the Heavenly Ze Divine Tree, the Dao Seal — ancient scriptures no weaker than the Pei Family's — and his arrogant tone. Yet Lin Feng had indeed produced two of these items. These were things that not even Pei Dongqing, let alone the Pei Family, could produce.
No wonder his combat strength was so formidable. To obtain such heavy treasures, his talent and experiences were self-evident.
"Why don't you tell us what you have?" Lin Feng said indifferently to Pei Dongqing, causing the latter's expression to stiffen. What did he have? Aside from having the Pei Family behind him, what could he possibly offer? He simply couldn't bring out treasures of the same weight as Lin Feng's.
Lin Feng slowly turned his gaze to Yin Rui and said, "Senior, Pei Dongqing is merely one of the many juniors of the Pei Family. What he can obtain still needs to be fought for in the future. But if I may be blunt, judging by the temperament he has displayed, his martial path can probably see its end quite easily. However, Lin Wushang is my only biological younger brother. Everything I have, he will also have."
Yin Rui's gaze was deep. Lin Feng's words were undoubtedly telling him that what Pei Dongqing promised was all empty, while what he offered was substantial.
However, the significance of an alliance between the Yin Clan and the Pei Family was far beyond what marrying his younger brother Lin Wushang could compare to. This was a union between two ancient saint clans. As for what Lin Feng mentioned, the most direct beneficiary would be Yin Yue, which didn't rise to the level of the family. Thus, how the Yin Clan would choose became quite suspenseful.
Originally, everyone thought that under the Pei Family's offensive, the isolated Lin Feng would appear very fragile. But now, being able to make the Yin Clan hesitate, Lin Feng had already done very well.
"Hehe." Yin Rui revealed a calm smile and said to the crowd, "Yin Yue is still young. Her marriage doesn't need to be rushed. Let her discuss it with her parents. Once there's a result, I'll inform everyone."
The crowd understood. It seemed Yin Rui couldn't make a decision easily either.
"In that case, I'll wait for the senior's good news. The Pei Family sincerely hopes to establish good relations with the Yin Clan." Pei Donglai still appeared very composed. At his level, he certainly wouldn't be disturbed by a few words from Lin Feng. Moreover, he remained confident that the Yin Clan would agree to him.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. Everyone has come to celebrate my birthday, which makes me very happy. Among those present, there are many outstanding talents on the Emperor's List. You can exchange martial insights with each other." Yin Rui smiled at the crowd. People nodded and began to move around freely.
Lin Feng looked at the Yin Clan members, a contemplative expression flickering in his eyes. He had an ominous feeling. The alliance of two ancient saint clans was indeed far more persuasive than allying with a single genius. Besides, Pei Donglai was himself a genius and a Great Emperor realm expert.
At this moment, a figure appeared before Lin Feng. It was Xie Yue, who smiled at Lin Feng and said, "When I saw you at the Ji Family last time, I didn't pay much attention. I didn't expect you to soon have a great battle with Ji Shang. It surprised me. I hope to have the chance to spar with you."
Xie Yue's eyes were demonic, and his pupils seemed to reveal a corroding intent. However, Lin Feng's gaze was clear and profound, completely unaffected.
"The day of the Emperor's List Inquiry is not far off. Xie Yue, why worry about not having the opportunity?" At this moment, the Battle Monk, draped in a kasaya, stepped forward and said calmly. His eyes were sharp, his spirit surging. From his gaze, one could feel his powerful spiritual will and his battle intent. A Buddhist who loved battle must be very formidable. The Battle Monk was ranked fourth on the Emperor's List.
"Haha, on the day of the Emperor's List Inquiry, I must witness everyone's brilliance." Yin Gutian laughed heartily and raised his glass toward them. His brilliant silver eyes seemed to have silver light flowing within them. Yin Gutian was ranked seventh on the Emperor's List.
At this moment, a purple aura seemed to drift over. Pei Donglai walked this way, the purple qi moving with his body.
"For this Emperor's List Inquiry, I will definitely volunteer. At that time, I will witness everyone's brilliance in the Human Emperor Palace." Pei Donglai's gaze swept over the crowd, pausing on Lin Feng for a moment. The Emperor's List Inquiry was hosted by the Human Emperor Palace. They were the most authoritative compilers, and the Emperor's List rankings were also inscribed by the Human Emperor Palace. It could be said that the Human Emperor Palace was a very transcendent force.
Lin Feng looked at these extraordinary figures and thought to himself that this Emperor's List Inquiry would likely be turbulent and extremely unsettled. He would probably need to raise his strength significantly. Although his current strength was already considered remarkable for the time, when facing the strongest group of Martial Emperor realm experts in Holy City Central Continent — the figures on the Emperor's List — he would still find it very difficult. Especially those at the top, who had all comprehended the Dao. Figures like Ying Cheng and Ji Shang were even more powerful.
Having nothing else to do, and with Lin Feng and Lin Wushang being almost isolated, they took their leave and departed together.
"Brother, will the Yin Clan betroth Yin Yue to Pei Dongqing?" Walking through the air, Lin Wushang asked Lin Feng.
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Wushang, the Yin Clan is more likely to favor Pei Dongqing. After all, as an ancient saint clan, everything they consider first is their own interests, not Yin Yue's choice."
"Then I..." Lin Wushang's expression stiffened, but Lin Feng smiled and said, "What's there to panic about? If Yin Yue is truly willing to be with you, then you can elope with her. Go to my world — no one can find you there. Even if you don't go to my world, you can go to other places on the Nine Heavens Continent. But the most important thing now is strength. Wushang, you're an adult now. You should understand many things. Without strength, you can't take a single step in this world."
"I understand." Wushang nodded slightly, his fists clenched tightly. If he had his brother Lin Feng's strength and proposed marriage himself, the Yin Clan would probably favor him. Although Lin Feng had promised that everything he had was his younger brother Wushang's, the two were ultimately different people. Lin Feng's talent belonged to Lin Feng. How great Lin Wushang's potential was, the Yin Clan didn't know.
At this moment, behind Lin Feng, the wind howled fiercely, rolling and surging. A voice came with the wind.
"Brother Lin Feng, please wait."
Lin Feng's expression shifted slightly. He stopped and turned around with Lin Wushang. He saw many figures rolling in from afar. They were experts from the Ji Family and the Yu Family.
The wind howled. The group arrived in an instant, occupying all eight directions, surrounding Lin Feng and Lin Wushang in the middle. A powerful aura rolled out, like a terrifying storm sweeping toward Lin Feng and Lin Wushang. In just an instant, Lin Wushang felt his breathing quicken, and large beads of sweat continuously dripped from his head.
"What do you all mean by this?" Lin Feng's gaze swept over the crowd. They were all outstanding young figures from the Ji Family and the Yu Family, all at the High-rank Emperor realm, very formidable.
"Brother Lin Feng's combat strength is formidable, known to all. Your battle with Ji Shang was not inferior. We are far inferior to Ji Shang. Since we've met this time, we want to see Brother Lin Feng's strength." A surging voice came with a wave of qi. In an instant, Lin Feng, trapped in the middle, felt a mountain-overturning, sea-inverting force pressing down on him. Waves of terrifying qi were as sharp as blades.
Light flickered. The Heavenly Derivation Chessboard appeared beneath Lin Feng's feet. He stomped down, and dazzling light burst forth. The array light of the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard was brilliant, instantly engulfing their bodies. But soon, Lin Feng's body stepped out, rising into the sky. His calm gaze suddenly turned cold and boundless. A death intent descended upon this void.
"Come on!" Lin Feng said calmly. The fierce waves of qi seemed to become even more terrifying. One person grabbed at the void, and rolling rock power descended from the sky. A divine ability formed instantly, blasting toward Lin Feng. But Lin Feng waved his hand, and with a booming explosion, the huge rock shattered into pieces.
Several figures stepped forward at the same time. Lin Feng suddenly saw a pair of pupils — demonic and boundless pupils that seemed to want to swallow his eyes, making him unable to extricate himself.
"Evil Eyes!" Those evil pupils seemed to rotate automatically, and Lin Feng felt a sense of sinking. At the same time, two others attacked Lin Feng. A giant rock axe descended from the sky, capable of cutting through mountains and rivers. Heaven and earth seemed to be split open, mountains and rivers could be cleaved apart. There was also a roaring Azure Dragon that rushed forward, baring its fangs, wanting to devour Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's robe fluttered. His calmness was terrifying. In his pupils, the strongest death power suddenly burst forth, piercing through the Evil Eyes. In an instant, the Evil Eyes became chaotic and turbulent. The expert facing Lin Feng had blood seeping from his eyes, his face ashen, as if he were about to die.
"Kill!" But he still roared, his Evil Eyes unchanged, waiting for the axe that split the sky and the terrifying Azure Dragon to devour Lin Feng.
Golden spatial patterns automatically formed beneath Lin Feng's feet, interweaving into patterns, light dazzling. Then Lin Feng stomped, golden light flashed, and his body suddenly disappeared from the spot. The giant axe and the Azure Dragon roared forward but struck empty air. However, the owner of the Evil Eyes let out a miserable scream. Death qi filled his mind, and then death sword intent directly burst out from his head. His body slowly fell downward.
