Chapter 2355: Stand in My Way and Die
Saint Realm, not just Saint Realm, but the Ancient Realm Clan Evil God. He had also easily defeated a middle-aged man who had been in the Saint Realm for a long time. The Saint Realm experts of the Phoenix Void Clan were no match for him. If it weren't for the fact that he was Jing's father, the Evil God would have killed him just now.
The crowd watched this scene in silence. The Ancient Realm Clan, dormant for so many years, had re-emerged into the world with clear preparation. This Evil God, who represented the face of the Ancient Realm Clan walking through the Nine Heavens Celestial Court, was said to have only been at the Saint Emperor Realm when he fought Fire Scar last time, and was even repelled by him. Yet now, in just a few short years, he had undergone another transformation and leap, defeating a Saint King figure. Such monstrous talent was truly terrifying.
Jing's father looked at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with shock. He had stepped into the Saint Realm many years ago. Over the years, he had maintained a calm state of mind, quietly comprehending his realm. His application of the Heavenly Dao and his attacks with Saint techniques were all very powerful. His foundation was stable, his combat strength formidable. Yet today, before someone who had only recently entered the Saint Realm, he appeared so inadequate, publicly humiliated, as if his very life was spared only because of his daughter.
"Because of Miss Jing, I spare your life. Therefore, even though you are Jing's father, you have no right to force her to do anything. If Miss Jing is willing to step into the Flame Temple, I will respect her choice. But if she is unwilling, and the Phoenix Void Clan and you, her father, are sending her away to curry favor with the Flame Temple for fame and profit, then I, as her friend, find it hard to tolerate. Why doesn't the Phoenix Void Clan simply become the slaves of the Flame Temple? Wouldn't that be better?"
Lin Feng said calmly, causing the crowd to become intrigued. Although many had been invited, as major powers of the Nether Heaven Ancient Realm, they were only giving face to the Phoenix Void Clan. But if the Phoenix Void Clan had any scandals, they would be happy to watch the spectacle. Wasn't the Phoenix Void Clan trying to cling to the Divine Temple? Right now, they were being slapped in the face publicly by Lin Feng. Might as well become temple slaves.
As for the members of the Phoenix Void Clan, each of them now had icy expressions as they glared at Lin Feng. Especially the clan leader of the Phoenix Void Clan. A cold light flickered in his eyes, and a terrifying intent surged toward Lin Feng. This man had actually defeated a Saint Realm expert of his Phoenix Void Clan.
His gaze slowly shifted, turning toward the experts of the Flame Temple. However, he saw that the Flame Temple experts only wore faint smiles, looking perfectly calm as they watched Lin Feng, as if this matter had nothing to do with them. This made his heart tremble slightly. The Flame Temple was leaving this matter for them to resolve themselves, and also wanted to see the true strength of his Phoenix Void Clan.
"Where are Qing Feng and Jing? I'll take them back to the Flame Temple first. As for the matters here, I'll leave them to the old clan leader to handle properly." Bei Shan Wang's expression shifted as he spoke calmly to the Phoenix Void Clan leader. The matters here were to be left to the Phoenix Void Clan themselves. As for his Flame Temple, they still needed to take the people away first.
The Phoenix Void Clan leader felt quite frustrated. On one hand, Lin Feng had caused his Phoenix Void Clan to lose face, sarcastically pointing out that they were sending their clan women to the Flame Temple to seek connections. On the other hand, the Flame Temple couldn't be bothered with all that. They still wanted to take people away, without giving the Phoenix Void Clan any time to catch their breath.
"A Divine Temple is still a Divine Temple. They are proud and indifferent. Right now, they haven't considered the interests of my Phoenix Void Clan at all." The Phoenix Void Clan leader sighed inwardly, somewhat disappointed. But this disappointment couldn't be voiced; he could only swallow it. At a time like this, the Flame Temple showed no regard for his Phoenix Void Clan's face, insisting on taking people away immediately.
"En." The Phoenix Void Clan leader nodded and said sternly, "Take them!"
His voice was quite cold, no longer as gentle as before. Clearly, he was very displeased. But Bei Shan Wang and the other temple members simply ignored it. At this moment, a faint, cold smile curled at the corner of Bei Shan Wang's mouth. The Phoenix Void Clan would never have guessed that they weren't here for Qing Feng or Jing at all today. Their target was Lin Feng from the very beginning.
He hoped the Phoenix Void Clan could deal with Lin Feng properly. That way, they wouldn't have to make a move themselves, avoiding accusations of using the temple's authority to bully Lin Feng. Of course, if the Phoenix Void Clan couldn't resolve this, and Lin Feng had already jumped out, they would still have a reason to act.
"Phoenix Void Clan, are you treating the young ladies of your clan like criminals? Shameless." Lin Feng's expression turned cold.
"Shut up!" Suddenly, a thunderous roar rang out. The Phoenix Void Clan leader shot toward Lin Feng like a bolt of lightning. The cry of a phoenix shook heaven and earth. Lin Feng felt a terrifying phoenix feather slashing toward him. Before it even arrived, he felt as if his body would be torn apart by its power.
Lin Feng struck out with his palm, summoning the ancient shield again. But with a cracking sound, the ancient shield was directly shattered by the phoenix feather. The brilliant phoenix feather slashed past Lin Feng's eyes. He felt a trail of flame spreading across his body. His figure instantly retreated, flickering through the void, disappearing and reappearing in the distance. His pupils froze, and his heart pounded.
Lin Feng touched his forehead. There was still a faint trace of blood there, but it healed instantly. Looking up, he gazed at the Phoenix Void Clan leader standing in the distance, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He smiled and said, "As expected of the Phoenix Void Clan leader. You've already achieved minor success in the Saint Realm, haven't you? Truly impressive. In front of the Divine Temple experts, you're like an ant, too cowardly to utter a single word of defiance. Even in this situation, you're still being ordered around by them. And yet you take your anger out on me?"
Lin Feng's eyes carried a hint of wickedness, living up to his name as the Evil God. Suddenly, the Great Desolate Demon Halberd appeared in his hand. Terrifying demonic qi surged wildly. The demonic might coiled around the halberd, making people tremble, as if demon lords were roaring within it.
He took a step forward. Seeing Lin Feng's sinister smile, the Phoenix Void Clan leader narrowed his eyes. What a formidable weapon. It seemed like a demon king's blade. On the Great Desolate Demon Halberd, it was as if demons were constantly howling, accompanied by faint, piercing sounds that were hard to make out but made people extremely uncomfortable, as if it were a cursed demon king's weapon.
Terrifying void power swirled around Lin Feng's body, as if he were completely immersed in endless spatial force. Suddenly, Lin Feng's figure vanished, and the next moment, he appeared directly before the Phoenix Void Clan leader. The Great Desolate Demon Halberd struck with irresistible force, roaring out like lightning, like thunder.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The demon king roared. Infinite demonic light coiled around the tip of the Great Desolate Demon Halberd. The crowd could see the phantom images of demon lords charging toward the Phoenix Void Clan leader, accompanied by endless curses from the demons.
In that instant, the Phoenix Void Clan leader's expression changed drastically. He felt as if his mind was filled with a demon city built of bones and corpses. Demon lords howled inside his head, rivers of blood flowed, causing his consciousness to ache, his head feeling as if it would swell and explode.
"Get out!" As the Phoenix Void Clan leader retreated, a holy and unparalleled phoenix feather robe wrapped around his body. At the same time, his formidable saintly might surged, driving away those terrifying demonic thoughts. But the demon lord's roars and curses carried a strange power, a force beyond the control of the Heavenly Dao, a power that was sovereign and absolute.
"Break!" Sensing that besides this terrifying mental assault, there was also an unparalleled, murderous aura stabbing toward him, the Phoenix Void Clan leader manifested a fire phoenix sword, more dazzling than the sun, and thrust it forward. With a thunderous explosion, the fire phoenix sword shattered. His body retreated, and a series of booming sounds rang out. The crowd saw the Phoenix Void Clan leader crash directly through the wall of the great hall.
"So strong! That demon halberd's power is terrifying!" The crowd's minds trembled violently. The Phoenix Void Clan leader had been repelled in a single blow, just as he had repelled Lin Feng earlier. It was incredible.
"Such an attack didn't affect the surrounding area at all. It shows how terrifying their control over power is. Saints—their destructive power is formidable, but their control is also chillingly precise." The crowd's hearts trembled. The Phoenix Void Clan leader flickered and reappeared. This time, beside him, someone brought Qing Feng and Jing over. Seeing this, everyone was shaken.
"Bullying a junior like me, isn't the Phoenix Void Clan leader impressive? Today, I will take Miss Jing and Miss Qing Feng away. Let's see who in the Phoenix Void Clan dares to stop me!" Lin Feng held the Great Desolate Demon Halberd and stepped forward. Wherever the halberd pointed, demonic might rolled and surged. At this moment, Lin Feng was like a demon king, his expression icy, his eyes pitch black, cold to the extreme.
"Stand in my way, and you die!" Lin Feng walked toward where Qing Feng and Jing were. He had come today to take them away. Leaving them in the Phoenix Void Clan made him uneasy. There was nothing here worth Jing and Qing Feng clinging to.
