# Chapter 328: Not Dead
"Who sent you to kill me?" Lin Feng's mouth spat out an icy cold voice, his gaze as sharp as a sword, piercing straight at the other party.
Such meticulous arrangements—numerous Spirit Martial Realm death warriors sent to die, a Mysterious Martial Realm expert attacking head-on, and another Mysterious Martial Realm assassin launching a killing strike—this was clearly aimed at taking Lin Feng's life, not simply bringing him along for a trip.
Such a powerful lineup obviously meant someone didn't want Lin Feng to live. Today, they were determined to make him die.
Fortunately, he possessed many trump cards. Even against such a formidable formation, they still couldn't kill him. The mastermind behind this assassination probably never imagined this outcome.
Under the siege of this terrifying force, Lin Feng was still alive and well. Although Lin Feng had suffered considerable injuries at this point, those true essence-formed crescent scythe blades had genuinely cut into his body, tearing through his flesh and blood. If not for his martial soul defense and his terrifying perception allowing him to dodge and minimize the damage, he didn't know if he could still fight.
The Mysterious Martial Realm assassin narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering uncertainly, as if contemplating something.
"Courting death."
Lin Feng looked at the other's flickering eyes, and a terrifying killing intent bloomed once more. On his body, an illusory sword light flickered faintly, sword intent shooting straight into the clouds.
At this moment, he was a sword—a sword that would slay everything.
"Sword intent realm... it seems even stronger." Lin Feng murmured to himself. Although he had already achieved unity of man and sword, Lin Feng could still use visualization techniques to comprehend the sword suspended above the Heavenly Book. The sword intent contained within that sword was far beyond what Lin Feng's current realm could fully understand.
This also meant that after sword momentum, subtle sword, and unity of man and sword, there were still higher realms of the sword—realms he had not yet touched. Therefore, his understanding of the sword could still continuously deepen, and his sword intent could still keep improving.
After experiencing the previous battle, Lin Feng clearly felt that in his unity of man and sword state, he had made another breakthrough in the sword path.
The Mysterious Martial Realm assassin felt the terrifying sword intent emanating from Lin Feng, and his heart trembled again. When Lin Feng had killed his Mysterious Martial Realm companion, fear had already taken root in his heart. He kept hinting to himself, suggesting that he was inferior to Lin Feng, losing his courage and fighting spirit. Even if Lin Feng's strength matched his, Lin Feng could still defeat him.
"Yu Family, Yue Family, or Dugu Family?"
Lin Feng took a step forward, the space letting out a whistling sound. Sword intent surged from his body, stabbing toward the other party.
"If I tell you, will you let me go?" Under Lin Feng's pressure, the Mysterious Martial Realm expert completely felt inferior to Lin Feng, even uttering words begging Lin Feng to spare him.
The corners of Lin Feng's mouth curled into an extremely intense sneer. He said coldly, "The arm that stabbed me just now—cripple it yourself, then tell me, and you can leave."
As he spoke, his sword intent did not dissipate, still as bone-piercing as before.
The Mysterious Martial Realm assassin's heart trembled slightly. Cripple an arm?
"You have three breaths of time to consider," Lin Feng said coldly again.
"One!"
"Two!"
Lin Feng uttered two words and took another step forward, like a sword about to be drawn from its sheath.
"I'll speak." The man could no longer bear the fear brought by this pressure. He roared out, then let out a furious shout. Cracking sounds rang out continuously as his arm slowly drooped, crippled by his own doing.
Sometimes, as one's cultivation grew stronger, one might become more afraid of death. Their hard-earned cultivation was not easily obtained, and they could still enjoy the pleasures of living.
"It's the Dark Alliance—forces under several high ministers. I don't know who specifically sent them. This time, I was only responsible for assisting, to kill you. If they could deal with you, I wouldn't even have made a move." The man endured the pain and gritted his teeth, saying, "I am from the Yu Family. The Fifth Young Master wants your life."
"Who is the Fifth Young Master?" Lin Feng asked coldly.
"Yu Tianxing!" The other party responded, then looked at Lin Feng and said, "I've done everything I promised. Now, can I leave?"
"Get lost!"
Lin Feng spat out a cold word. The man was overjoyed in his heart. Turning around, his body flickered toward the distance.
But at that moment, a terrifying killing intent suddenly descended, making his heart tremble.
Turning abruptly, he instinctively swung his right hand, trying to mobilize his true essence power. But when his right hand swung out, he was horrified to discover that his right hand had been crippled by himself and could no longer gather true essence power.
"Chi, chi!"
A silver spear pierced through from his heart position. A face calm to the extreme appeared before him—Imperial Guard Commander Yu Ji. With one spear thrust, he assassinated the man.
"Are you also an assassin from Heavenly One Academy?" Blood flowed from the corner of the man's mouth as he stared at Yu Ji and asked.
"Those who come from Heavenly One Academy should naturally serve His Highness. Yet you serve the Yu Family. How could you not die?"
A voice directly entered the other's ear. Then the silver spear twisted, completely shredding the Mysterious Martial Realm expert's internal organs, killing him instantly. Yu Ji calmly pulled out the spear, then turned his gaze to Lin Feng.
"It was inconvenient for Crimson Blood Marquis to kill. Yu Ji is willing to act on his behalf."
Yu Ji said calmly, but in Lin Feng's eyes, he was like a venomous snake—a snake that rarely spoke. Lin Feng had only seen him twice and had only seen his spear thrust out twice.
The first thrust: former Imperial Guard Commander Meng Han died.
The second thrust: the Mysterious Martial Realm assassin died.
"Thank you."
Lin Feng glanced at the other indifferently, then turned around, dragging his weary steps, and slowly walked away.
"Cough, cough!"
Several light coughs sounded in the space, and drops of blood fell to the ground, mixing with the rain falling from the sky.
Yu Ji watched Lin Feng's weary footsteps, his gaze flickering uncertainly. He now suspected whether Lin Feng's terrifying sword intent from before had been deliberately released to its extreme to intimidate the other party. At this moment, Lin Feng might not even be able to fight a Mysterious Martial Realm expert. But the Mysterious Martial Realm assassin had been scared by Lin Feng's sword intent to the point of losing all courage to fight, ultimately ending up lying dead here.
The more afraid of death a person is, the more likely they are to die!
...
At this moment, in Longing Forest, by the lakeside, several young figures sat in a pavilion, quietly enjoying the beautiful scenery of Longing Forest, occasionally savoring the cups of Longing Fine Wine before them.
"The time... should be about right, shouldn't it?" Yu Tianxing threw a pebble into the lake. The stone stirred up ripples on the water's surface, spreading outward in all directions.
"No rush. Brother Yu sent such a lineup to kill him. Lin Feng will surely die."
Yue Tianchen's mouth held a trace of coldness. The idea of assassinating Lin Feng had been his suggestion, executed by Yu Tianxing, while they used their forces to have the Dark Alliance cooperate with them.
At the perfect moment when Lin Feng had arranged to meet Liu Canglan and Meng Qing was not by his side, they would assassinate Lin Feng.
"Mm. Lin Feng is definitely dead."
Yu Tianxing nodded heavily, his tone certain, as if to convince himself that Lin Feng was already dead.
At this moment, footsteps sounded from afar, making Yue Tianchen and Yu Tianxing's hearts tremble. Their gazes sharply turned, looking at the person rapidly flickering toward them.
"How is it? Has Lin Feng been killed?"
Yu Tianxing stood up and asked the newcomer.
The man raised his head, looking at the anticipation in Yu Tianxing's eyes, but his mouth was stiff, unable to speak.
"Hm?" Seeing the other's silence, Yu Tianxing felt a bad premonition arise in his heart. He shouted, "I'm asking you a question."
"Young Master Yu, Lin Feng... he didn't die. He left alive, but he was severely injured."
The man spoke tremblingly, making Yu Tianxing's gaze tremble. "Only injured? How could he not be dead? What the hell were they doing? Why didn't they pursue Lin Feng?"
"They... all died. Killed."
The man lowered his head and said softly, making Yu Tianxing's entire body tremble violently. They died... Lin Feng, severely injured!
He had thought earlier that Lin Feng had been severely injured and fled. But now...
A feeling of fear spread in his heart. Lin Feng, he wasn't dead.
Then, with Lin Feng's personality, if he knew the mastermind behind this was him, Yu Tianxing, he would never let him go.
From today onward, whenever he went out, he would have to be extremely careful!
