Chapter 2416: Execute
For the people of Holy City Central Continent, the sudden appearance of a group of Saint realm experts was absolutely shocking, making their hearts pound violently. Those figures in the void were like heavenly gods, lofty and aloof.
"Lin Feng!" A voice rang out, like a thunderclap on a clear day, shaking the eardrums of the crowd.
"Lin Feng, they're here for Lin Feng. The words of Heavenly Martial Saint just now were already a hint." The crowd's hearts trembled secretly. Clearly, this group of experts had ill intentions, with a terrifying killing intent radiating from them.
"Lin Feng, prepare to flee." Mu Chen and Yu Huang's expressions turned extremely ugly. Although they didn't know what cultivation levels those people had, they could sense their formidable and terrifying power. They were definitely a group of supreme great beings, and they had come to deal with Lin Feng.
At this moment, however, Lin Feng looked up at the void with a calm expression, without much turmoil. He gazed at the leader who had spoken, Qiong Lin of the Flame Temple. It was this man who, by unscrupulous means, had captured Zhetian when he couldn't deal with Lin Feng in the past, causing his avatar to fall into the Flame Temple.
"A Great Accomplishment Saint King, three Minor Accomplishment Saint Kings, and five Half-step Saints. This lineup really flatters me," Lin Feng thought to himself. The Flame Temple had dispatched nine Saint Kings for him, including one Great Accomplishment Saint King. They were certain to have him cornered. Moreover, this was the lower realm of Qingxiao Land, Holy City Central Continent. Even if the Fate Temple or Tian Ruojian received word, they couldn't get here in time. It seemed he was at their mercy. However, the Flame Temple probably wouldn't expect that he had encountered a fortuitous opportunity in the Divine Tomb, receiving a god's inheritance and possessing a starry sky world.
Then, Lin Feng turned his gaze to Heavenly Martial Saint and asked, "Are you a member of the Flame Temple?"
"Lin Feng, I won't hide it from you. I am not a member of the Flame Temple. A senior from the temple asked me to keep an eye on the Heavenly Terrace here and watch for news of you. So I came to Holy City Central Continent to develop my power. It's not bad here either; Holy City Central Continent can be considered a land of fortune. Now that you've walked right into the trap, I no longer need to wait," Heavenly Martial Saint said calmly. This made the surrounding people suddenly understand. So that was it—experts from the temple wanted to execute Lin Feng.
The lofty temple, the rulers of the world, were targeting Lin Feng. What exactly had Lin Feng done?
Looking up at the group of Saint realm experts in the void, the crowd's eyes held even more reverence. They were not only saints but also came from the temple.
"Hand over Qiong Yu. Aside from you, I will not hold the others accountable," Qiong Lin's voice rolled out, majestic and imposing. Lin Feng swept his cold eyes over them and sneered, "Could it be that the lofty temple is planning to strike at ordinary people from the lower realm again?"
"That depends on your performance," Qiong Lin said coldly.
"Is that so?" A cold smile curled at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. Then he waved his hand and said, "Teacher, all of you, fall back."
"Xiao Feng..." Mu Chen, Yu Huang, and the others stiffened. Lin Feng wanted to resist the temple? How could that be possible?
"Fall back. I can handle this," Lin Feng said calmly, causing Mu Chen and the others' hearts to tremble. They nodded one after another and retreated backward. Lin Feng continued, "Unless you kill me, if I survive and any of my friends are caught in the crossfire, I will make sure Qiong Yu dies a miserable death."
"Since you're so eager to die, we'll gladly oblige." The nine Saint Kings lined up in a row, their aura terrifyingly overwhelming. The crowd felt as if they were being crushed under a dark cloud. If the enemy struck, everyone would be slaughtered.
"Let's see how you plan to kill me," Lin Feng said, looking up and meeting Qiong Lin's gaze.
"Boom!" Qiong Lin took a step forward and attacked personally. As a Great Accomplishment Saint King, dealing with Lin Feng alone was enough. He had brought others only to avoid any unexpected incidents, though the possibility of such incidents was virtually nonexistent.
A streak of fire pierced through the void, like a flaming arrow. The sky itself ignited, and the ground beneath Lin Feng's feet cracked wildly, transforming into a hellish sea of fire, even before the enemy had arrived.
"Crack!" A crisp sound rang out. Behind Lin Feng, the figure that had been standing still finally moved. His body suddenly grew massive, radiating golden light. His palms were as large as cattail leaf fans. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and let out a roar to the sky. A terrifying sound wave swept across heaven and earth, shattering the void and collapsing the sea of fire. The crowd saw a colossal golden ancient ape phantom, dozens of zhang tall, appear behind Lin Feng. It was like the supreme ruler of the ancient demon realm, roaring between heaven and earth. This single roar was enough to shatter the void.
Qiong Lin's speed was incredible. In an instant, his attack was already upon Lin Feng. But at that moment, the roar shook his body, and a giant palm slammed toward him, transforming into a five-fingered mountain.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone. Behind Lin Feng, there was actually such a terrifying existence guarding him. The entire martial arts arena and the viewing stands had already shattered and collapsed. All buildings within a hundred li radius were destroyed. Many people with low cultivation were directly shaken to death, their souls extinguished. They couldn't withstand the aftershock of that roar.
When saints act, it's like the end of the world.
"Chi..." A sharp, piercing sound of collision rang out. Qiong Lin's body retreated explosively, but a golden giant hand reached through the void to grab him.
"Who are you, sir?" Qiong Lin shouted loudly. He felt an incredibly powerful gravitational force pressing down on him, millions of times heavier, making movement difficult.
No one answered him. The golden giant hand continued to reach forward, leaving him no place to hide.
"So strong!" The people below looked up at this scene, their hearts filled with shock. How could it be this powerful? In that brief moment, Qiong Lin had already retreated into the void, but the sky was filled with the immensely huge phantom of the golden ancient ape. Its giant hand was determined to capture him, refusing to stop.
Qiong Lin's body burned wildly. The perfected flame origin force turned the entire sky into a sea of fire, violent and fierce.
"Destroy!" Qiong Lin seemed to manifest a sun phantom, smashing it toward the giant hand. Space exploded and disintegrated wildly. Everything in its path was to be destroyed.
"Whoosh!" The golden ancient ape's giant hand clenched. In an instant, the endless flames seemed to vanish. Qiong Lin's body was caught within that massive palm.
"How should we deal with him?" The massive phantom of the golden ancient ape in the void lowered its head to look at Lin Feng below and asked.
At this moment, Lin Feng's heart was also pounding. No wonder that old ox was so confident in these nine demon saints. They were indeed incredibly strong, far beyond imagination. Moreover, this golden ancient ape had definitely mastered several types of origin forces, all at great perfection. It was a terrifying Great Accomplishment demon saint with multiple origin forces at great perfection.
"Execute!" Lin Feng uttered a single word. The ape nodded slightly, then its giant hand suddenly clenched. Crunching sounds rang out continuously. Then it brought its hand to its chest, leaned its head forward, and roared fiercely at its palm.
"No..." From within its palm, Qiong Lin's desperate roar rang out. Then, cracking sounds spread out again, gradually fading away. When the golden ancient ape opened its giant hand, only a terrifying remnant of flame force lingered in the space. Qiong Lin's figure had completely disappeared.
"Whoosh..." People within a thousand li radius took a deep breath as they looked at the massive phantom in the void. This was the terrifying power of a Saint King. One step could crush a Saint Emperor. A few roars could destroy an entire city. This was the power to annihilate heaven and earth.
The experts of the Flame Temple were also stunned. Lin Feng actually had such a powerful demon saint guarding him. Qiong Lin, a Great Accomplishment Saint King, had been executed in an instant.
Heavenly Martial Saint's heart trembled. The hearts of countless people at the Heavenly Terrace and War King Academy trembled as well.
At that moment, the massive phantom slowly disappeared. The golden ancient ape shrank to three meters tall and stood quietly behind Lin Feng again, leaving the crowd staring blankly at Lin Feng and the golden ancient ape.
Lin Feng had returned. A Saint Emperor? He was to be executed?
Behind him stood a supreme great being, a demon saint capable of destroying heaven and earth. With a single word from Lin Feng, "Execute," a terrifying existence from the temple had fallen on the spot.
