Chapter 326: God of Slaughter
Lin Feng stood quietly in the rain, gazing at the crowd surrounding him from all sides, his eyes flickering.
The Dark Alliance had two Mysterious Martial Realm experts among them. These people didn't even put the Imperial City Guard led by Yu Ji in their eyes, which meant that behind them stood figures with immense power and influence.
Such figures wanted to kill him, Lin Feng.
Lin Feng silently counted in his mind. Apart from the Yu Clan and the Yue Clan, the Dugu Clan was also among those with such capability who wanted his life.
Of course, it could also be Duan Tianlang's people.
"Who gave you the order?" Yu Ji asked coldly. The other party's attitude was very tough. Even with him present, they still wanted to take Lin Feng away.
Without waiting for the other party to respond, Yu Ji continued, "I've long heard that the Dark Alliance is very close to the Yu Clan. You should be someone the Yu Clan placed in the Dark Alliance."
"But what about you? Why are you here?" Yu Ji then turned to look at the One-Armed Man. According to his intelligence, the One-Armed Man shouldn't belong to any faction; he was simply a solitary cultivator.
"The reason I came is very simple. If he can withstand one slash of my blade, I'll leave."
The One-Armed Man said indifferently, causing the crowd's gazes to freeze. The One-Armed Man had come just to test Lin Feng's strength, to see if Lin Feng could take one slash from him?
Yu Ji turned his gaze to Lin Feng. Lin Feng looked into the One-Armed Man's eyes, as if trying to discern something. Slightly nodding, Lin Feng said in a low voice, "Draw your blade!"
Everyone's eyes froze. Lin Feng had actually agreed to take the One-Armed Man's blade.
On the One-Armed Man's body, a terrifying blade intent spread through the space—sharp, domineering, and cold. On his single arm, true essence power circulated endlessly, with white light flickering on it. At this moment, his arm was no longer just an arm but a blade. His arm was his blade.
"Subtlety," Lin Feng's eyes froze. Such a fierce killing intent. The One-Armed Man's blade realm had reached the level of subtlety, refined to the finest detail, allowing him to concentrate all blade intent onto his single arm, transforming it into an invisible, sharp blade.
Combined with the One-Armed Man's own Mysterious Martial Realm strength, his blade was bound to be terrifying beyond measure.
Feeling this blade intent, Yu Ji's eyes flickered slightly. The One-Armed Man truly lived up to his reputation as the number one of Heavenly One Academy. This aura was very frightening. He wondered if Lin Feng would be in danger.
On Lin Feng's body, white light flickered, and a surge of true essence power flowed through him. At this moment, Lin Feng had not yet reached the Mysterious Martial Realm, but he could already gather a mouthful of true essence. A sharp sword intent bloomed in the space.
Sharp but not exposed, vast yet tranquil—a very subtle sword realm. In the eyes of the crowd, Lin Feng no longer seemed to be Lin Feng but a sword, a sword merged with heaven and earth.
The rain continued to fall, but as long as it landed near the One-Armed Man and Lin Feng, it was immediately torn apart. Their bodies became a vacuum, untouched by even a single drop of rain, with only the radiance shining so brilliantly.
The One-Armed Man slowly raised his hand, or rather, slowly raised his blade. At the same time, Lin Feng extended his hand, simply placing it there. In the void, the gathered heaven and earth essence crazily spun, forming a terrifying vortex. In an instant, in his raised hand, a sword appeared—a true essence sword, a true essence sword filled with battle intent.
"Are you ready? Since I crossed into the Mysterious Martial Realm, my blade has appeared eighteen times, and eighteen people have died. I hope you can survive this time," the One-Armed Man said proudly.
But Lin Feng paid him no heed. In the dim, rainy space, Lin Feng's eyes slowly closed, using his consciousness to observe and to think.
At the same time, in Lin Feng's mind, a sword emerged—a black sword, the silent and annihilating War God's Sword.
Every time he saw this sword, Lin Feng's heart would pound, and endless battle intent and a terrifying sense of annihilation spread outward from him.
The stronger Lin Feng's strength became, the deeper his understanding grew when he visualized this sword. His true essence sword would also be infected, becoming more and more terrifying.
"Hmm?" The One-Armed Man looked at Lin Feng, whose eyes were closed. The aura on his body grew stronger and stronger, that overwhelming battle intent very frightening, as if it could endlessly grow stronger without end.
The One-Armed Man wanted to see the ultimate state of this sword, how powerful it could become, but he also felt that this sword was infinite, only capable of growing stronger without ever reaching an end.
"Slash!"
The One-Armed Man spat out a cold sound, no longer waiting. On the blade formed by his arm, blade light swallowed the sky. In the void, an incomparably terrifying giant blade descended as the One-Armed Man's arm-blade swung down. The giant blade also slashed down from the air, as if it would tear space apart. The heaven and earth essence became wildly turbulent.
Lin Feng's hand also moved. He raised his true essence sword, and the terrifying sword intent materialized, continuously striking against the giant blade in the void, producing sounds of metal clashing—piercing and sharp.
"Sword, indestructible, annihilating all!"
On Lin Feng's body, endless battle intent surged. His body slowly rose into the air. Instead of dodging, he moved toward the giant blade, thrusting his sword at it.
At this moment, the crowd all looked up. The enormous, domineering blade and the sharp, dazzling sword collided in the void. A terrifying, oppressive aura spread through the air.
It was hard to imagine that this terrifying giant blade and indestructible sword were both illusory creations—the blade merely the One-Armed Man's arm, and the sword just Lin Feng's true essence manifestation.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. The blade and sword clashed together. There was no terrifying sound, only an invisible, killing intent. They stalemated there, neither able to advance half a step.
"How terrifying. Both of these people are geniuses," the crowd thought to themselves.
The One-Armed Man's blade went without saying. As for Lin Feng, he was using Spirit Martial Realm cultivation to withstand the One-Armed Man's Mysterious Martial Realm blade, yet he didn't retreat at all. His battle intent swallowed the sky. This burning battle intent and terrifying conviction were truly frightening.
Just then, light flickered. The giant blade in the void suddenly vanished without a trace. At the same time, the true essence sword in Lin Feng's hand also dissipated into nothingness. Both of them ceased fighting simultaneously.
"You have the qualifications to fight me. Unfortunately, I still have to fight Qiong Biluo tomorrow, so let's stop here for today. I hope you can live well."
After saying this, the One-Armed Man turned around, stepping through the rain. His lonely figure, like his single arm, was empty yet filled with killing intent.
Just as he had said, if Lin Feng could withstand one slash of his blade, he would leave.
Tomorrow was the day Qiong Biluo had challenged him to battle, and he had to go and accept the challenge.
"Just qualifications?"
A cold smile flashed in Lin Feng's opened eyes. Then, he closed his eyes again. The killing true essence sword materialized once more, and battle intent burned in the void.
"Hmm?" Everyone frowned. What did Lin Feng want to do?
"Kill!"
Just then, Lin Feng spat out a single word from his mouth—an extremely cold word. His figure flickered. He didn't need to use his eyes to see; everything in the space was so clear.
One sword, pouring down, accompanied by a dazzling beam of killing light. Several figures were directly devoured by the sword light, not even having time to scream.
Kill! How domineering Lin Feng was!
He didn't say another word and directly started killing, killing the people of the Dark Alliance.
The Dark Alliance had come with murderous intent to take him away. Clearly, it wasn't to invite him for tea and wine but to take his life. So, for those who wanted his life, what else was there to say? Only kill.
Stopping killing with killing—that was Lin Feng's philosophy of survival.
In the cruel world of martial arts, if you didn't want to be killed, you had to slaughter all those who wanted to kill you. If he was benevolent and kind, they would still want to kill him. If he was domineering and murderous, they would still want to kill him. So why should he choose the former? Kill one person, and there was one less enemy.
A simple truth, an unyielding heart.
The faces of those Dark Alliance members changed drastically. Before they came, they had never imagined that Lin Feng's strength would be so terrifying. Every time his sword fell, someone died, as if a god of slaughter had descended upon the world.
"How dare you!" the Mysterious Martial Realm expert's face changed drastically. Vast true essence power flowed in his hand, and a giant true essence palm suddenly blasted toward Lin Feng. But Lin Feng only used one sword to slash the true essence palm into ashes.
Back in Tianluo Ancient City, Lin Feng could already kill Mysterious Martial Realm experts. Now, after so much time had passed, Lin Feng's strength had truly reached the peak of the Spirit Martial Realm. Coupled with his terrifying true essence sword, how could he fear a First Layer of Mysterious Martial Realm expert?
Even without using his Martial Soul Sacrifice, he could still fight against Mysterious Martial Realm experts.
Another dazzling sword slashed down from the void, taking the lives of several people.
