# Chapter 318: Killing Wenren Yan
Silence. The prince's mansion space fell into a dead silence.
Everyone stared blankly at Lin Feng, that arrogant figure, those words that looked down on everything, still echoing continuously in their eardrums.
Sure enough, Lin Feng was just as the rumors said — arrogant, looking down on everyone, ignoring everything.
The expressions of the crowd in the viewing stands turned extremely ugly. Lin Feng was provoking them, insulting them.
But no one dared to respond. A life-and-death battle — who would dare to fight?
Nearly a year ago, it was said that Lin Feng's strength had already reached the Seventh or Eighth Layer of the Spirit Martial Realm, incomparably arrogant. Now, a single glance from Lin Feng could scare people back, a single aura could intimidate Wenren Yan. This young man was terrifying. None of them dared to fight Lin Feng.
Because Lin Feng had dared to kill Duan Han back then, right in front of the Celestial Wolf King. So Lin Feng would also dare to kill them.
All they could do was use their status and influence to suppress Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, do you know who you're speaking to?" Duan Lie's expression was ice-cold. He clearly hadn't expected Lin Feng to be so arrogant.
"You don't need to teach me. I said, if you're not convinced, come and fight. Or you can all come at once," Lin Feng spat out coldly, causing Duan Lie's heart to surge with boundless cold fury.
No one could intimidate Lin Feng. No one here could suppress him. It seemed they could only let him run rampant.
This seemed somewhat ridiculous.
He, Duan Lie, was a member of the imperial family.
Here were genius disciples of the Snow Moon Holy Academy, noble families of high status, and terrifying members of the Yue Clan and Yu Clan. Such a terrifying force should have been untouchable.
But they had encountered Lin Feng, this incomparably arrogant young man, a madman who didn't play by the rules. Lin Feng feared no one, dared to look down on everyone. Yet this madman was stronger than all the outstanding youths in the viewing stands, and was valued by the Second Prince, leaving them at a loss.
"What exactly do you want?" Duan Lie asked Lin Feng with a dark expression.
"What do I want?" Lin Feng smiled, then looked at Wenren Yan. "Wenren Yan, back then, you were high and mighty. Just because of a single sentence, you wanted to destroy me, kill my brothers — incomparably arrogant. Later, on the life-and-death battle platform, you, this disciple that the Cloud Sea Sect regarded as a genius, tried to put me to death. But unfortunately, you were defeated by me, an unknown nobody. Then you betrayed the sect — utterly shameless."
"And now, you still dare to stand here, boasting and bragging, calling yourself the number one genius of the Cloud Sea Sect, unparalleled in talent and character. You have no sense of shame left. Now that I've stepped onto this platform, you ask me, Lin Feng, what I want?"
Lin Feng's words made Wenren Yan's heart tremble. Looking at the killing intent in Lin Feng's eyes, a chill spread through his heart.
Lin Feng wanted to kill him.
That was right. Lin Feng definitely wanted to kill him. Back when they were at the Cloud Sea Sect, they had formed an irreconcilable hatred. He wanted to kill Lin Feng, and Lin Feng wanted his life too.
It could be said that whenever they had the chance, neither would let the other go. Wenren Yan just didn't dare to think that Lin Feng would dare to kill Duan Lie's son-in-law, kill him — this genius disciple of the Snow Moon Holy Academy — in such a setting.
Wasn't Lin Feng afraid?
Wenren Yan simply didn't understand Lin Feng. In Lin Feng's dictionary, there was no such word as "fear."
At this moment, how could the crowd below the viewing stands not understand the truth? Wenren Yan — the Wenren Yan who had just been praised as someone rarely seen under heaven — was afraid of Lin Feng. In front of Lin Feng, he didn't even dare to fart.
What nonsense about being a genius, the most outstanding genius of the Cloud Sea Sect, perfect in talent and character — all of it was bullshit. They had been wrong to think that Wenren Yan could be compared to Lin Feng.
Because Duan Lie's introduction of Wenren Yan and Wenren Yan's own entrance had been too flashy, making the crowd feel he was impressive, a true genius.
But when Lin Feng stepped onto the battle platform, the comparison between the two exposed the gap so thoroughly. In front of Lin Feng, Wenren Yan appeared too despicable. Now they could only see Lin Feng's boundless arrogance and Wenren Yan's pathetic cowardice. The so-called most talented disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect didn't even have the courage to look Lin Feng in the eye.
In front of Lin Feng, Wenren Yan seemed too insignificant.
Today was Wenren Yan's wedding day, but because of Lin Feng's appearance, this place had become Lin Feng's stage. Lin Feng was the only protagonist.
Turning his gaze, Lin Feng's eyes fell on Duan Yu. From his mouth, he coldly spat out one word: "Scram!"
Duan Yu's face turned pale, her body convulsing violently. Lin Feng was looking at her, telling her to scram... Today was one of the most important days of her life. She should have been the center of attention, but Lin Feng was here insulting her man, the man she was proud of, pointing at her and telling her to scram.
And her man could only remain silent.
Duan Yu bit her lip tightly, her pale face flickering constantly as she said coldly, "Lin Feng, don't go too far."
"I told you to scram." Lin Feng stepped forward, his killing intent surging out like a tidal wave, turning into a howling gale that battered against Duan Yu.
"Stomp, stomp, stomp..."
Duan Yu's steps kept retreating. Under this killing intent, she had no choice but to retreat, as if not retreating would mean Lin Feng would kill her.
"Lin Feng, you're too arrogant." Duan Lie roared angrily. As his furious shout fell, he stomped heavily, stepping through the void, and overwhelming killing intent enveloped Lin Feng's body. He could no longer tolerate it.
Looking at the figure stepping through the air toward him, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. An invisible sword intent raged through the space.
Stomping on the ground, his body shot straight up into the air. Raising his right palm, light flashed out as he brought it down.
A sword. Lin Feng was using his palm to release sword light — a brilliant, dazzling sword light.
"Chi, chi..."
A faint sound rang out. The sword light cut through everything. In an instant, a scream came from Duan Lie's mouth. He stopped advancing and retreated frantically, both hands tightly clutching an arm where a deep bloody wound was continuously oozing blood.
Lin Feng's casual sword strike in the air had nearly severed Duan Lie's arm, and had almost taken his life.
"So strong!"
The crowd's hearts twitched violently. Lin Feng's strength was too great. His arrogance and lofty pride came from his talent, from his power.
Duan Lie couldn't even withstand a single blow from Lin Feng. If Duan Lie hadn't dodged in time, he would have died on the spot.
"Next time, I will definitely kill without mercy," Lin Feng spat out coldly, his body descending. This made the crowd's hearts tremble again. "Definitely kill without mercy" — so Lin Feng had deliberately held back earlier. It wasn't that Duan Lie had dodged in time.
Lin Feng acted as soon as he spoke. He truly dared to kill. For a moment, no one dared to step forward again. Unless a Mysterious Martial Realm expert was here, who could intimidate Lin Feng?
Unfortunately, although Duan Lie was a prince with imperial blood, he was already from a collateral branch. His strength was inferior to Duan Tianlang's, and his status was inferior too. Although his mansion had considerable power in the outer city, they couldn't produce a single Mysterious Martial Realm expert.
If there were a Mysterious Martial Realm expert, they wouldn't be following Duan Lie; they would be following other more powerful imperial princes.
A prince's mansion could only watch helplessly as a young man ran rampant — utterly ridiculous. Yet it was truly happening before their eyes.
Lin Feng paid no attention to what the crowd was thinking. Looking at Wenren Yan, his body exuded killing intent as he said coldly, "Today, on behalf of the Cloud Sea Sect, I execute the traitor, Wenren Yan."
"Wenren Yan, you will die today."
As Lin Feng's words fell, the crowd's eyes trembled. Lin Feng was going to execute Wenren Yan.
Wenren Yan would die.
The muscles on Wenren Yan's face twitched, then he laughed coldly. "Executing a traitor on behalf of the Cloud Sea Sect? Ridiculous. What qualifications do you have to represent the Cloud Sea Sect?"
"What qualifications do I have?" Lin Feng smiled. He raised his hand, and on his index finger, a stone ring shone brilliantly.
Seeing that stone ring, Wenren Yan's heart trembled again.
"When Sect Leader Nan Gong left, he entrusted the sect leader's stone ring to me. I, Lin Feng, have long been the new sect leader of the Cloud Sea Sect. Even if the Cloud Sea Sect has declined now, even if only I, Lin Feng, remain, the Cloud Sea Sect still exists. The sect leader of the Cloud Sea Sect still exists — and that is me, Lin Feng."
The words slowly came from Lin Feng's mouth. Lin Feng looked at Wenren Yan and said, "Wenren Yan, tell me, do I, Lin Feng, have the qualifications to execute you, a traitor — an unfaithful disciple who betrayed his master and abandoned his sect?"
The crowd was stunned. Lin Feng was actually the sect leader of the Cloud Sea Sect.
How ridiculous. Duan Lie and Wenren Yan had both claimed that Wenren Yan was the designated sect leader. But Lin Feng was the one truly valued by the sect leader, the one appointed as sect leader. Only today was this made public.
The Cloud Sea Sect had not been destroyed, because its sect leader still lived.
No wonder Lin Feng harbored such deep hatred for Duan Tianlang.
"No wonder..." Wenren Yan's heart also trembled. No wonder the entire sect had protected Lin Feng alone. So this was the reason. They saw Lin Feng as their hope. They had passed the position of sect leader to Lin Feng.
What was he, Wenren Yan, as a so-called sect genius? Utterly ridiculous.
"Alright, enough nonsense. Now, in the name of the Cloud Sea Sect's sect leader, I execute the traitor."
Lin Feng coldly spat out these words, his killing intent incomparably sharp. Raising his hand, Lin Feng radiated boundless, endless killing intent.
"You wouldn't dare!"
"Stop!"
Duan Lie and Duan Yu both shouted at the same time. Everyone's eyes froze.
But the one whose heart was most shaken was undoubtedly Wenren Yan. Lin Feng was really going to kill him. No one dared to stop it. No one would stop it for him.
Feeling that bone-piercing killing intent, his heart turned cold, his body trembling.
"Kill!"
Overwhelming killing intent bloomed in the air. No one could shake Lin Feng's resolve. No one could stop Lin Feng from executing Wenren Yan.
A terrifying beam of sword light descended from the sky — brilliant, dazzling, making it impossible to look directly at it.
Everyone held their breath, staring blankly at this sword — this sword that appeared from nothingness, slashing toward Wenren Yan.
The sword shadow fell, yet the space remained silent, utterly silent.
From Wenren Yan's forehead, down through the center of his brows, past his nose, a blood line gradually spread from top to bottom.
Wenren Yan's eyes were wide open, but they no longer held any light. Then his body slowly fell backward.
Dead. Wenren Yan had been killed on the spot by Lin Feng.
Everything felt like a dream.
Wenren Yan and Duan Yu's grand wedding — Duan Lie had made such a big production, inviting people from the outer city to come and worship and observe. But what the crowd witnessed was not a grand wedding, but the death of his son-in-law, Wenren Yan.
What the crowd witnessed was Lin Feng's unparalleled arrogance, unstoppable by anyone.
In front of everyone, on the day of Wenren Yan and Duan Yu's wedding, Lin Feng killed Wenren Yan, slapped the faces of Duan Lie's entire family, and slapped the faces of everyone in the viewing stands!
