Chapter 276: A Genius?
The cold aura emanating from Lin Feng did not shake Leng Yue. His gaze swept over Meng Qing with a sinister look, his eyes like blades. "Make your move."
As his words fell, Leng Yue broke into a small sprint toward Lin Feng. Though his steps were short, his speed was extremely fast, like a whirlwind.
Dust on the ground swirled up, then turned to ash under the blade intent. With each small step Leng Yue took, the blade intent in the space grew stronger. In a brief instant, he had taken at least dozens of steps, and the blade intent had sharpened to its extreme, emitting a piercing whistling sound.
At the same time Leng Yue moved, Bing Yuan also acted. Frost and snow began to fall from the sky, white ice crystals covering the entire space with a layer of chill—cold, so cold it made one tremble.
"These two are formidable."
The distant crowd's gazes sharpened. Blade Master Leng Yue was as sharp as a blade, while Bing Yuan of the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa had achieved deep mastery in the art of ice and snow. As his technique activated, the heavens and earth gave birth to frost and snow.
Both were incredibly powerful, worthy of being among the most talented of the younger generation.
"That blade will cut him in two," a member of the Hao Yue Sect declared loudly, his voice arrogant. When Leng Yue struck, few could survive three moves. Lin Feng definitely wouldn't last even one—he'd be slain outright.
"Lin Feng will be frozen to death by the cold, his meridians and blood sealed in ice," the crowd from the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa said coldly. Lin Feng was too arrogant, daring to kill one of their own and provoke Bing Yuan. This was suicide. Let's see how he dodges this sealing frost and snow.
Many believed Lin Feng would be killed.
How could an unknown like him withstand the combined strike of Blade Master and Bing Yuan? Now it was just a matter of who would kill Lin Feng first.
Feeling the sharp blade intent and freezing cold descending upon him, Lin Feng's gaze remained calm—so calm it stirred not a single ripple. Only the cold murderous intent in his eyes remained unchanged.
"Slash!"
A blade intent descended. Leng Yue spat out the word, and the word "slash" echoed through the space, rolling and reverberating. The sharp killing intent enveloped Lin Feng's body. A dazzling blade light, like a bolt of lightning, streaked across the sky, slashing toward Lin Feng.
"Die."
Bing Yuan arrived at the same time. A desolate cold energy burst forth, ice and snow spreading along Lin Feng's body. The powerful freezing energy corroded him, as if trying to freeze him to death. At the same time, a frozen palm strike also blasted toward Lin Feng—cold, wild, and domineering.
"Kill!" Lin Feng lifted his head slightly, spitting out the word "kill" with crystal clarity.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The lingering echoes resounded. In the space, a fierce, overwhelming killing intent exploded in the air, as if it would annihilate everything—slash it, kill it.
This intense killing intent made Leng Yue's and Bing Yuan's pupils contract simultaneously. Their hearts trembled slightly. Even the sharp blade light and the freezing snow seemed to weaken a bit, their momentum diminished.
Lin Feng's body charged toward Bing Yuan, like an indestructible sword. A dazzling sword light flashed and vanished. The cold ice trembled, floating unsteadily, then violently rippled before coming to a stop.
At the same time, Leng Yue's blade descended, its light flickering.
"Chi—"
A soft sound rang out. Bing Yuan's body was directly cleaved in two. Blood sprayed everywhere, extremely bloody.
Leng Yue's blade slashed from the top of Bing Yuan's head all the way to the ground. The ground exploded with a boom. Bing Yuan's severed body flew apart to both sides.
The space suddenly fell into dead silence. The crowd's pupils were filled with traces of fear as they stared at Bing Yuan's split corpse.
"Dead!"
"Bing Yuan... was cut in two by Leng Yue's blade?"
The crowd's eyes held disbelief, especially those from the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa. The number one core disciple of the villa, at the Ninth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm—Bing Yuan—was dead just like that? In one move, he was cut in two? And by Leng Yue's hand? This felt almost theatrical, unreal. The talented youth who had been so domineering moments ago was dead in an instant.
"You killed Bing Yuan?"
The Ice and Snow Mountain Villa crowd stared at Leng Yue, their eyes bloodshot.
"Idiot. Can't you see that he fell victim to his scheme first, and only then was I able to instantly kill him? Otherwise, how could he have failed to block that strike?" Leng Yue cursed coldly. His expression was very ugly as he stared at Lin Feng. This man had ambushed Bing Yuan the moment he acted, causing Bing Yuan to die under Leng Yue's blade, using Leng Yue's own blade to kill Bing Yuan.
If he had killed someone else, Lin Feng might not have bothered to explain. But this was the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa's genius. If he couldn't explain clearly, the consequences would be severe—it might even provoke a battle between the two sects.
"Fell victim to Lin Feng's scheme?" The Ice and Snow Mountain Villa crowd's gazes hardened, all turning to Lin Feng.
"You ambushed Senior Brother Bing Yuan?" one of them said, drawing looks of contempt from many.
"Ambush?" Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "A bunch of idiots. Are you all blind?"
Bing Yuan had attacked him. If these people couldn't understand how he had counterattacked, that was one thing. But to say he had ambushed Bing Yuan?
Bing Yuan tried to kill him, and he acted in self-defense. That's called an ambush?
"All of you will die."
Lin Feng stepped forward, his killing intent bursting forth. Feeling this dense murderous aura, the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa people's hearts trembled violently. This killing intent was so strong, so sharp!
"Not good!"
These Ice and Snow Mountain Villa people sensed an ominous premonition. They saw purple rivers surging fiercely, erupting from Lin Feng's body.
The purple rivers made a rushing sound, but within them, a thick aura of destruction was contained. Hundreds of purple tendrils transformed into over a hundred tributaries, rolling forward toward the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa people.
"What is this?"
The crowd's hearts trembled violently. Those purple tributaries were like countless long snakes, surging outward. The Ice and Snow Mountain Villa people all panicked, beginning to flee and dodge.
But the purple tributaries turned into snakes, instantly coiling around their bodies, binding all the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa people, then pulling them toward Lin Feng.
"Ah..."
Screams of agony rang out. Those bound by the purple snakes wailed in pain. Their bodies were gradually corroded, buried and drowned by the continuous purple tributaries surging toward them.
Moments later, when the purple rivers surged back into Lin Feng's body with a splash, the figures of those Ice and Snow Mountain Villa disciples had vanished without a trace, directly corroded by the purple soul, leaving not even ashes behind.
"How terrifying!"
"What kind of martial soul is that? Monstrous."
The crowd's hearts trembled violently. The Ice and Snow Mountain Villa people, including Bing Yuan, were all dead.
Bing Yuan had been cut in half, while the others had been devoured, not even bones left. What had happened before their eyes was too shocking.
They had wanted to kill Lin Feng?
And it was Bing Yuan and Blade Master Leng Yue working together. But in an instant, Bing Yuan was dead, and he had dragged the other Ice and Snow Mountain Villa people down with him. As for Lin Feng, the one they wanted to kill, he stood there, with countless purple snakes coiling and swaying in the void behind him, like purple demons.
Only then did the crowd realize that Lin Feng dared to provoke Leng Yue and Bing Yuan because he possessed formidable strength as his trump card—strength greater than Bing Yuan's.
"This is a genius, a genius even more terrifying than Bing Yuan!"
The crowd thought to themselves, their gazes turning to Blade Master Leng Yue.
At this moment, Leng Yue stared at Lin Feng, his eyes flickering uncertainly. They were still sharp, but they had lost the overwhelmingly domineering edge from before.
That blade strike of his hadn't touched Lin Feng at all. Instead, Lin Feng had used it to kill Bing Yuan. Lin Feng's strength was terrifying.
"Arrogant and overconfident, utterly useless, a waste." Lin Feng looked at Bing Yuan's corpse and said coldly. Then his gaze slowly turned, landing on Leng Yue. A cold smile appeared at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth.
"You're the same. Blade Master? With strength like yours, you dare to be arrogant and look down on everyone? Truly shameless. There are far more talented people than you."
Blade Master's face darkened, extremely ugly, but he didn't know how to refute Lin Feng. Staring at Lin Feng, his eyes held a hint of wariness.
Lin Feng was strong. He had to be careful.
"Just because of a single word, you threatened me with your blade. In front of me, what right do you have to use a blade?" Lin Feng took a step forward. An invisible killing intent howled, and overwhelming sword energy surged fiercely toward Leng Yue, as if ten thousand swords were flying in unison. The sword momentum was terrifying.
This sword momentum was even more domineering and sharper than Leng Yue's blade momentum.
The sword was the king of all weapons!
