# Chapter 1961: Battle Against the Snow Clan Genius

In the void, the golden ranking list floated there. The current rankings of the Emperor's List were: Ying Cheng, Ji Shang, Chu Chunqiu, Battle Monk, Gui Li, Shi Yunfeng, Xue Shenfeng, Lin Feng, Yin Gutian, Wang Zhong.

Among these people, Wang Zhong, Xue Shenfeng, Shi Yunfeng, and Ji Shang had already lost their qualification to seek the Dao and could no longer advance further on the Emperor's List. If someone could defeat them or defeat those ahead of them, they could directly leap over them. As for the first-ranked Ying Cheng, there was no need to mention him—he only needed to wait for others to seek the Dao from him. Thus, five people were already fixed in place.

The ones who could still move were only Chu Chunqiu, Battle Monk, Gui Li, Lin Feng, and Yin Gutian. Among these five, Gui Li and Yin Gutian had both been pushed down by others' battles; they both had defeats. If Lin Feng did not advance, Yin Gutian could not seek the Dao forward. If Chu Chunqiu and Battle Monk did not push Ji Shang down to fourth place, Gui Li would also lose his qualification to seek the Dao. Therefore, in this next round, only three people remained who could seek the Dao: Chu Chunqiu, Battle Monk, and Lin Feng.

Pei Donglai's gaze naturally fell upon the two bodies of Lin Feng. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he spoke: "Do you still wish to seek the Dao?"

Lin Feng's clone looked at Pei Donglai and nodded.

"Whether you seek the Dao or not is actually irrelevant to the front rankings of the Emperor's List. To avoid making you lose too miserably, seek the Dao from Xue Shenfeng," Pei Donglai said calmly. Xue Shenfeng was one position ahead of Lin Feng, ranked seventh. Moreover, among these people, Xue Shenfeng was the most frustrated because the person he had sought the Dao from in the first round was Ji Shang. Between him and Ji Shang, there were many others. However, because he had made his own choice, he had lost the qualification to seek the Dao from others. Now, if someone behind him challenged him, how could he afford to lose again? If so, where would the Snow Clan's face be?

A cold gleam shot from Xue Shenfeng's eyes, as if a frosty aura was spreading toward Pei Donglai. This Pei Donglai actually looked down on him too, saying to Lin Feng that it was to avoid Lin Feng losing too badly that he should seek the Dao from him, Xue Shenfeng. Didn't this mean that he, Xue Shenfeng, was the weakest among those ahead? If Lin Feng sought the Dao from others, he would lose miserably, but if he sought the Dao from him, he would not.

"En." Lin Feng's clone nodded slightly. However, his main body still had its eyes closed, causing Pei Donglai to frown and say: "If you don't dare to seek the Dao, just say so. What is the meaning of this?"

"Wait a moment," Lin Feng's clone spoke, causing Xue Shenfeng's eyes to stiffen. He snorted coldly: "Fight or not?"

"Shenfeng, in this battle, don't let him off easy." At this moment, rolling voices came from the crowd. The speaker was Xue Fan, causing Xue Shenfeng's gaze to flicker. He found Meng Qing's position in the crowd, stared at her for a few moments, then looked back at Lin Feng. A cold intent spread out.

"Wake up!" Xue Shenfeng waved his long robe. In an instant, a frosty snow covered heaven and earth. On the Human Emperor Heavenly Pillar where Lin Feng was, Lin Feng's clone was instantly frozen solid. His main body, which had been sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes and fiercely struck a palm toward the side. A cracking sound rang out. Lin Feng's eyes slowly turned, landing coldly on Xue Shenfeng.

Xue Shenfeng did not look at Lin Feng. He stepped forward, directly walking toward the center of the Human Emperor Platform. Wherever he passed, cold intent spread, and frost and snow seemed to cover heaven and earth.

Lin Feng also stepped forward. A cold light flickered in his pupils. The death of an ordinary clone had no effect on him, but Xue Shenfeng's actions were presumptuous. At this moment, the two stood facing each other. Lin Feng looked at that fair, handsome face, carrying a cold, proud aura. In Xue Shenfeng's eyes, perhaps there was no Lin Feng at all.

"Array Dao is ultimately a lesser path. Strength is everything," Xue Shenfeng said, looking at Lin Feng. His indifferent voice seemed to carry cold intent. His pupils were icy, as if they were a world of ice and snow.

"Array Dao is itself a form of strength. You don't understand Array Dao, yet you dare to speak of it?" Lin Feng's voice was equally calm. Like Xue Shenfeng, he carried a proud aura. His gaze toward Xue Shenfeng held a hint of contempt, as if mocking the other's ignorance.

The world had never lacked arrogant people. In fact, geniuses at their level could all be said to be proud. Of course, this pride depended on who they faced. For example, those at the back of the Emperor's List, when facing other Martial Emperors, were lofty and looked down upon the world. But when facing those at the front of the Emperor's List, even the top ten, could they still maintain their pride? Most people's pride depended on the target. However, some people's pride was carved into their bones, regardless of who they faced.

Lin Feng's pride was released only when facing those who acted arrogantly before him. His pride was the unyielding pride of someone who had climbed up from the bottom step by step.

"I'll let you see how your Array Dao can be of any use," Xue Shenfeng said. As his voice fell, he waved his hand, and in an instant, snow filled the sky. His palm trembled forward, and a terrifying world of ice and snow surged toward Lin Feng, devouring him. A bone-deep cold suddenly sprouted within.

Lin Feng's divine sense in his pupils blazed brightly. The void before him spontaneously evolved, interweaving into streaks of array light. His palm trembled forward, and a layer of light screen rippled through the void. The might of destruction spread out, and the array light continuously expanded.

His palm fiercely trembled. In an instant, the Purple River Chariot roared, the war chariot rampaging forward, carrying various laws of elements within it, crushing the ice river to pieces.

But at this moment, Xue Shenfeng's body had already arrived before Lin Feng, moving extremely fast. He would not give Lin Feng the chance to inscribe an array. In his eyes, Array Dao and any other means were lesser paths. He only believed in strength.

The Purple River Chariot was frozen solid. Wherever Xue Shenfeng passed, the void solidified. His pupils stared into Lin Feng's eyes, instantly seeming to pull Lin Feng into a world of ice and snow.

Lin Feng's pupils turned cold. He felt as if his soul was about to be frozen. He naturally understood what Xue Shenfeng wanted to do—quickly suppress him, making his Array Dao abilities useless. After all, Xue Shenfeng believed that with his strength one level higher than Lin Feng's, as long as he closed in and directly crushed him, without the help of Array Dao, Lin Feng could never contend with him.

"Chi!" Death light shot from Lin Feng's pupils, directly charging into the other's mind. In an instant, it was as if countless sharp swords were killing toward the other's soul. Since the other was invading with Dao, how could he show weakness?

Lin Feng stepped forward. His palm seemed to give birth to a strange power, without any attribute, without any strong aura.

Xue Shenfeng's palm struck forward. Immediately, a torrent of snowflakes swept toward Lin Feng. In an instant, Lin Feng's entire body was covered in a layer of ice and snow. However, demon tribulation light flashed on Lin Feng's body, splitting the ice and snow. At the same time, his palm blasted forward. An ancient seal appeared in the void. This ancient seal was as fast as lightning. In Xue Shenfeng's eyes, it seemed to envelop the entire world of heaven and earth. The fleeting glory of this world, all Dao became empty, the seal technique eternal.

"Boom, crack!" The frost contained in his palm force completely collapsed and was destroyed. The Floating World Seal, with irresistible force, blasted toward Xue Shenfeng, causing his expression to freeze for a moment. Then, he danced the Eternal Snow, as if heaven and earth were to be buried by snow.

In the eight directions of the void, golden light patterns suddenly emerged, wildly evolving, about to form an array. Lin Feng's body continued to press forward, once again striking out a Floating World Seal, rumbling as it crushed toward the opponent.

Xue Shenfeng's body retreated backward. The golden array in the void gradually took shape, causing his expression to turn rather ugly.

"Your arrogant words seem to have been spoken a bit too early," Lin Feng said coldly. A proud aura was as cold as snow.

Xue Shenfeng snorted coldly, his body continuously drifting back. He said: "Do you think this is enough?"

As his voice fell, Xue Shenfeng's body transformed into numerous phantom images, standing within the world of ice and snow.

"You're not the only one who knows the Thousand Illusion Technique," Lin Feng sneered. His body split from one into two, from two into three, from three into ten thousand shadows. Suddenly stepping onto the array, one phantom after another continuously disappeared, appearing from eight directions. Lin Feng's main body directly appeared behind Xue Shenfeng. His palm swept out, and the Death Tribulation Sword shot forth. At the same time, he blasted out a River of Death. All the phantoms collapsed and were destroyed.

Then, his main body once again disappeared through the array, appearing who knew where, completely confusing himself among the clones.

"There!" Lin Feng saw Xue Shenfeng attacking his clone. His aura instantly locked onto him, and he stepped toward him at the same time. The Death Void Sword stabbed out. When Xue Shenfeng's gaze met his, their pupils intersected. Pure white frost light and death light collided, both stepping toward each other.

The Death Tribulation light slashed and killed all approaching phantoms. Meanwhile, Lin Feng's clones, when approaching Xue Shenfeng, were also frozen into ice.

In Xue Shenfeng's eyes, there was a world of ice and snow. At the same time, behind him, a white-robed figure appeared, like a snow king. The snowflakes on Lin Feng's body gathered more and more, the cold qi eroding into his body. Similarly, the power of death continuously rushed into Xue Shenfeng's body, causing his handsome, fair face to gradually become covered with a layer of deathly gray.

The Destruction Immortal Platform dual array evolved and was born. In Lin Feng's Death Demon pupils, a look of contempt flashed. Then, he blasted out a Floating World Seal.

"Kill!" Xue Shenfeng struck out with a palm. A world of ice rivers appeared before him. The two forces crazily collided together. However, at this moment, a rustling sound rang out. The River of Death surged toward the four directions around Xue Shenfeng, causing his pupils to contract slightly. He suddenly looked in other directions, only to see death light about to drown him.

"How is this possible?" Xue Shenfeng's expression stiffened. Could clones also use Dao power?

His palms trembled. Xue Shenfeng stamped his palms on the sky dome, causing a curtain of snowflakes to appear in the void. However, a terrifying attack blasted over, causing Xue Shenfeng's expression to stiffen.

"Dong!" From above, a figure of Lin Feng descended, carrying the River of Death. On the other side, another Lin Feng, borrowing the dual array, blasted out a Floating World Seal.

This dangerous scene caused the crowd's expressions to freeze there. Xue Fan and the other Snow Clan experts, their eyes also all stiffened!
