Chapter 1964: Gui Li Defeated and Retreats
Within Lin Feng's mind, one ghost king after another continuously stepped in, some wielding large sabers, others holding yaksha tridents—these were Gui Li's Dao intent, visualized ghosts and gods capable of killing a person's soul.
But at this moment, a demon king suddenly appeared in Lin Feng's mind. This overbearing demon king exuded an aura of unparalleled arrogance, like an ancient deity, holding a pitch-black giant sword that directly slashed toward a ghost king's body. The black giant sword unleashed a terrifying blade of death. The ghost king tried to block it with his saber, but it turned directly into nothingness, shattered completely. A sharp howl rang out in Lin Feng's mind as the Sword of Death struck the ghost king's body, causing it to dissipate like smoke.
"Roar..." The ghost king madly charged at Lin Feng's soul, but the demon king advanced with his giant sword, sweeping out the Sword of Death. It was the Dao might of death, and wherever it passed, ghosts and gods were all annihilated. No one could invade his soul.
Outside, Gui Li's eyes grew even colder, staring fixedly at Lin Feng. But at that moment, a ray of death light burst forth. Suddenly, a terrifying demon god's shadow charged directly into his mind, causing Gui Li's gaze to freeze. A great battle erupted in his mind. This demon god's Sword of Death was too terrifying—one slash killed one ghost king. This was the Dao of death, and even the ghost Dao had to yield, unable to escape the scope of death.
Gui Li's choice to fight Lin Feng with soul Dao did not seem to be a good one.
This demon god slaughtered madly, causing Gui Li to roar. His entire body transformed into a ghostly shadow, rolling and pouncing toward Lin Feng.
"Chi..." In the void, a ghostly claw descended from the sky, grabbing at Lin Feng like a black shadow, too fast for the naked eye to see.
"Kill!" Lin Feng shouted explosively. The ethereal Sword of Death slashed out madly, while his palm struck upward, directly unleashing a Floating World Seal. The heavens and earth rumbled with a dull sound. Gui Li's figure vanished, but Lin Feng took a step forward. In an instant, light flashed, and countless patterns intertwined rapidly, evolving at breakneck speed, as if trying to form a formation in the blink of an eye.
One black phantom after another continuously grabbed at Lin Feng, as if countless tearing-void ghost shadows had materialized in an instant. Lin Feng snorted coldly, standing like a mountain. His palms struck out, the Purple River Chariot roared, war chariots rumbled, mountains and rivers shook, crushing heaven and earth. At the same time, dazzling sword lights streaked across the sky, producing constant clanging sounds in the void, as if blades were colliding.
Wisp after wisp of terrifying energy streams directly rushed into Lin Feng's body, filling him with violent, icy, and murderous auras.
"Die!" With a thought from Lin Feng, the death Dao intent madly wiped out all energy streams invading his body. Meanwhile, the formation light beneath his feet grew increasingly dazzling. The massive life-and-death diagram seemed to drown the void, and the power of life and death's two poles became more and more terrifying.
"He's carving a complete grand array!" The crowd's pupils contracted as they stared at Lin Feng standing there. This array was evolving rapidly but still hadn't fully taken shape. Lin Feng was carving a complete grand array, and once it was completed, its power would be absolutely terrifying.
Gui Li's ghostly divine attacks were extremely evil and powerful, but in terms of pure Dao intent, Lin Feng's death Dao intent was no worse than Gui Li's Dao power—in fact, it was even slightly stronger. Moreover, the death Dao could extinguish ghosts and gods, suppressing Gui Li in the clash of Dao intents. Even now, the demon god visualized by Lin Feng continued to wreak havoc in Gui Li's mind, trying to destroy his soul and kill him.
Gui Li naturally understood that dragging out the battle was disadvantageous for him. Suddenly, a ghostly wail shook heaven and earth, trembling Lin Feng's divine sense power. At that moment, Lin Feng felt his soul destabilize. Countless demons and monsters madly charged at him, dazzling his vision, as if they would devour and kill him directly.
At this moment, Lin Feng closed his eyes, his mind clear and bright. Suddenly, a brilliant light surged around Lin Feng, and a Dharma King's manifestation appeared. This Dharma King was forged from a golden body, seven zhang tall, radiant and boundless. All demons and monsters were rendered formless under its illumination.
"Immovable Bright King Mantra!"
At this moment, on the Human Emperor's Heavenly Pillar, the Battle Monk's gaze froze as he looked at Lin Feng. A dazzling golden light burst from his golden pupils. This was the Immovable Bright King Dharma Manifestation. The Immovable Bright King Mantra killed Buddhas and demons with infinite power, leaving all demons and monsters nowhere to hide, all to be cursed to death.
"Lin Feng is not a Buddhist cultivator, yet he knows the Immovable Bright King Mantra." The Battle Monk's gaze flickered. The phantom bodies of demons and monsters all shattered, while the golden body of the Immovable Bright King also emitted cracking sounds, exploding and destroying itself. At the same time, a terrifying demon claw grabbed at his face. If it caught him, Lin Feng's head would be crushed and burst.
"Die!" Lin Feng shouted explosively. The ethereal Sword of Death madly twisted and slashed out, while a shocking sound carried the power of a demonic curse. Although it couldn't curse Gui Li to death, this terrifying sound was enough to shake Gui Li's soul. Combined with the ethereal death sword intent and the demon god manifestation that refused to let go in Gui Li's mind, it was more than enough for Gui Li to handle.
Lin Feng stomped heavily. In an instant, the life-and-death array completely transformed into a death diagram, madly rushing toward Gui Li's body. His true self did not retreat an inch, and the Floating World Seal smashed and crushed forward with infinite power. All of this happened in a flash. Gui Li wanted to injure him, but he would definitely pay a heavy price.
"Boom!" The Floating World Seal was torn apart by Gui Li's huge ghostly claw. The claw directly tore toward Lin Feng's mind. If it caught him, Gui Li would take Lin Feng's life, and the attacks would naturally be resolved. However, Lin Feng's terrifying fist seemed to carry boundless power, punching out, piercing the void. All types of law powers gathered on this single fist—no need for fusion, just all attached to the fist: tearing space, dancing hurricanes, heavy earth, overbearing demonic qi, towering flames, sinister curses... At this moment, who knew how many types of intent had gathered on that fist as it blasted out.
Although Lin Feng had communicated with the external laws, that was only a powerful foundation, not enough to skyrocket his combat power in a short time. If his combat power matched his realm, multiple laws simultaneously pouring into his body with external recognition, merging with his own world laws, could certainly give his strength a qualitative leap. But his combat power already had a terrifying gap compared to his realm. The people he dealt with were all geniuses a whole realm or more above him. So even with the fusion of multiple laws, using such pure attacks against them was still very difficult. But this strike still shook heaven and earth. The huge ghost claw was torn apart, and Gui Li's body shot into the sky. The intent of death madly rushed into his body, seemingly endless, filling him with deathly aura.
"Come down!" Lin Feng shouted explosively. His palm grabbed, and the heavy earth power suddenly descended on Gui Li's body. At the same time, a prison directly trapped Gui Li. Lin Feng's body shot straight up.
Gui Li roared in anger, directly blasting the prison apart. His ghostly figure wanted to flee again, but at this moment, he saw Lin Feng's pupils. The death Dao intent madly rushed into his eyes. Endless Swords of Death came from the void, combined with the death qi madly rushing into his body from below. At this moment, Gui Li truly felt on the verge of death, completely unwilling to continue fighting. This feeling of nearing death was too unbearable.
"Roar!" A ghost king's body magnified in Lin Feng's pupils, clear and terrifying, causing Lin Feng to retreat slightly. At the same time, Gui Li flickered away like a ghost, fleeing into the distance.
Lin Feng watched the departing ghostly figure. A wisp of Dao intent rushed out from his mind and then sank into his brow. Lin Feng looked at Gui Li and asked indifferently, "Need to continue fighting?"
Gui Li's face was still black. The haze of death hadn't completely dissipated. He felt as if he had truly walked through the gates of hell, feeling extremely aggrieved. Three battles, three defeats? He, Gui Li, was originally ranked third on the Emperor's List, had lost to Chu Chunqiu, lost to the Battle Monk, and now, he was going to lose to Lin Feng?
"No more fighting. Three years. You won't see me, Gui Li, again." With a sweep of his sleeve, Gui Li's body shot into the sky, like a true ghostly shadow, stepping into the void and heading directly into the distance, as if he had no face left to stay. This made the crowd look at Lin Feng with a strange light in their eyes. Lin Feng had actually defeated Gui Li and stepped into the fifth seat on the Emperor's List.
Even Pei Donglai's expression froze. He had wanted to use Gui Li's hand to brutally torment Lin Feng, but he never expected this outcome.
