Chapter 2439: Wiping Out a Stronghold
As the words of the Void Divine Temple expert fell, their side began to retreat collectively.
The Minor Accomplishment Saint King who had been preparing to fight Lin Feng was seen holding a Sacred King Weapon resembling a trident. It radiated an incredibly terrifying aura—that was the Space-Rending Halberd, capable of shattering space itself, extremely fearsome. If it struck a person, it could directly tear their body apart and kill them.
The Space-Rending Halberd instantly slammed into the barrier Mo Yu had set up. In an instant, cracks spread across it, branching out through the entire void barrier. Even those within that space could feel the intense shockwaves, as if their bodies were about to shatter. The intent was overwhelmingly strong.
However, at that moment, Mo Yu's body erupted with ten thousand rays of starlight. Suddenly, heaven and earth transformed into stars. With a constant cracking sound, after the shattered seal, brilliant star crystals emerged, enveloping the entire space. They seemed to be within a sea of starlight.
"Hurry up and finish the battle, or their people will arrive," Mo Yu said, her expression grave. They had destroyed the teleportation array, so the forces from their other strongholds would naturally know and rush over immediately. Their time was extremely tight.
"Understood." Lin Feng stepped forward, heading toward the Void Divine Temple expert wielding the Space-Rending Halberd. Meanwhile, Hou Qinglin and the others moved toward their respective opponents.
Two experts who had just entered the Saint Realm approached Hou Qinglin, their auras powerful. But Hou Qinglin's body erupted with a terrifying reincarnation force, causing the two to tense up. The power of reincarnation was rarely seen.
"Chi..." A flash of reincarnation light appeared. Hou Qinglin drew his sword and slashed out. In an instant, a beam of light appeared in the void. It was as if space itself had shattered, broken by reincarnation. The entire space transformed, turning into a realm of the Dao.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation." The two men's faces turned pale. This intent of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was terrifying, making their bodies and souls feel as if they were sinking into it. One of them blasted out a blazing fist light, tearing through space toward Hou Qinglin. It seemed to transform into a giant of flame, extending an enormous hand to grab Hou Qinglin.
Hou Qinglin's palm trembled. Reincarnation light seemed to flow along his arm, devouring the flame giant bit by bit. At the same time, he let out a cold shout and punched through the air, as if even the Six Paths of Reincarnation would collapse and shatter. The two men screamed in agony. Their bodies and souls seemed to be thrown into chaos by the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Half of one expert's body was swallowed up, while the other half remained outside.
"How can a mere Half-step Saint comprehend such a powerful Saint technique? This must be a Saint technique personally taught by an ultimate powerhouse!" one of them roared in unwillingness. Hou Qinglin charged forward, grabbed again, and beams of light crisscrossed, rushing into their bodies and drowning them.
"My Six Paths Saint technique is not even one ten-thousandth as powerful as my teacher's," Hou Qinglin sighed inwardly. After becoming a core disciple, he had left with the Reincarnation Priest, whose guidance had been immensely helpful. In particular, the Reincarnation Priest had a divine ability—the Six Paths Saint technique. This Saint technique was infinitely variable, requiring Hou Qinglin to comprehend his own path. He had been comprehending it according to his own understanding, but compared to the might of the Reincarnation Priest's Six Paths Saint technique, the gap was far too great.
Hou Qinglin had once witnessed an image shown to him by the Reincarnation Priest. When the Six Paths Saint technique was used, six paths of reincarnation appeared in heaven and earth. The heavens wept, and all living beings were buried. Who could escape? Hou Qinglin could not fathom its true essence.
Stepping forward, Hou Qinglin charged out again. At the same time, Lin Feng's Sovereign Sword directly pierced the head of the Void Divine Temple's Minor Accomplishment Saint King, obliterating him. The only opponent left was a Minor Accomplishment Saint King from the Flame Temple, who was still fighting Mo Yu. This battle clearly had no suspense.
"Boom, crack!" However, at that moment, a sound of the outer barrier cracking came from outside, causing everyone's expressions to stiffen.
"Not good." Mo Yu's expression changed. "Their people have arrived. They're already attacking the sealing barrier outside."
"Whoosh!" The Flame Temple's Minor Accomplishment Saint King retreated, and the others followed, backing up to the edge of the barrier. Once the sealing barrier was broken, they would be completely safe. Then, they could counterattack and surround the enemy.
"Everyone, come here. We're preparing to retreat," Mo Yu said. The group gathered together, ready to flee the moment the barrier was broken by the attack.
"It's not that simple. Perhaps they've set up another layer of sealing barrier outside," Lin Feng said, causing Mo Yu's expression to grow even more solemn. These people had arrived too quickly.
"But even so, it's at most the people from the strongholds near the Hong Family who have arrived. Nothing to fear," Lin Feng said. A long spear appeared in his hand—a top-grade Sacred King Weapon. If he used his other two Sacred King Weapons, he would be recognized instantly, so he had switched weapons.
"Whoosh!" Spear in hand, Lin Feng charged directly at the Flame Temple's Minor Accomplishment Saint King, his aura cold and murderous.
The Flame Temple expert's expression stiffened. Two Minor Accomplishment Saint Kings had already died at Lin Feng's hands. How could he not be cautious? At this moment, his expression was extremely grave. A terrifying flame origin force was gathering wildly around him. Giant flame figures appeared around him, and behind him, a flame deity seemed to manifest. With him at the center, everything was engulfed in towering flames, as if heaven and earth were about to burn. It was too terrifying. The void itself was scorched red.
"Die!" He roared, and the flame giants before him simultaneously extended their hands, grabbing toward Lin Feng in an airtight formation. Those giant flame palms were about to bury Lin Feng as he surged forward.
"Chi..." A terrifying devouring force emanated from the long spear. Then, the terrifying flames turned into flowing light and were swallowed into the spear, causing the spear tip to glow red-hot.
"This Sacred King Weapon contains devouring power." The Flame Temple expert's face darkened. Suddenly, a terrifying dragon-like force swallowed heaven and earth. The flames wildly entered the spear, and at the same time, the space-time in this area seemed to slow down. The movements of the flame giants became very slow. But Lin Feng turned into a beam of light. The spear thrust out, too fast for the eye to follow.
"Boom!" The Flame Temple Saint King roared. The flame giant behind him extended its hand and slapped forward.
"Die." Lin Feng spat out a single word. With a soft "pfft" sound, the spear, carrying infinite flames, pierced through the opponent's brow. The Flame Temple expert's eyes bulged. How... how was it so fast?
"Boom!" Flames shot into the sky. His body ignited directly, turning to nothingness. The powerful attack force had not even had time to unleash its power before it vanished. Lin Feng's figure flickered. He pushed the power of speed and slowness to the extreme, as if controlling the very flow of time and space. "Pfft" sounds rang out continuously. The other Half-step Saints had no resistance against this power of speed and slowness. They simply could not keep up with Lin Feng's attack rhythm, and they fell one by one.
"So strong." Mo Yu's heart trembled as she watched Lin Feng's attack. Too powerful. Hope began to kindle in her heart. Perhaps this Mu Lin really could change the situation in Dayu City.
Just then, the sealing barrier shattered. A group of figures appeared outside. Seeing the vanished figures, their faces instantly turned ashen.
"Follow me," Lin Feng said. A speed intent enveloped everyone, and they charged in a certain direction. A terrifying earth origin force and void origin force wildly surged into the long spear. Then, his speed increased to the extreme.
"Boom!" The spear struck the invisible sealing barrier, instantly piercing through it. The expressions of those charging over froze.
"Let's go." Sensing the powerful auras still spreading from afar, Lin Feng and the others directly crushed the array talismans. Their figures vanished from the spot instantly.
"As expected, they had array talismans." A group of experts rushed over. They did not recklessly pursue. The Hong Family's forces had already been completely wiped out.
Soon, more people gathered. Their expressions were grave, their moods very bad. A stronghold had been annihilated. No one was left alive.
"We need to inform the four Saint Commanders. They've produced formidable figures who can kill Minor Accomplishment Saint Kings in a short time and wipe out a stronghold," one person said. From now on, they would have to be on guard. Such a situation could not be allowed to happen again.
