Chapter 362: Burned to Death
Cold Moon's body stiffened. That man also looked at Lin Feng.
"Your true essence is so depleted, there's no way you can condense that destructive dark lotus again. If you want to keep us here, have you thought this through?"
The man stared at Lin Feng and said. Although Cold Moon's combat power was greatly diminished, he himself was at the Second Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm. It wouldn't be so simple for Lin Feng to deal with him.
"I admit, my true essence is greatly depleted, and I can't condense a destructive flame as powerful as before. But Cold Moon, I still have to kill him. Last time, you blocked me and gave me a slash. This time, I won't let the same thing happen again."
Lin Feng's gaze was sharp as he stared at the other party. The black lotus flame in his palm slowly rose: "Do you dare to bet?"
"You... dare to bet..."
The words trembled in the air. The crowd all looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng had very frankly admitted his true essence depletion and told the other party. But he still wanted to kill Cold Moon. He asked the man if he dared to bet. If he didn't bet, Lin Feng would kill Cold Moon. If he did bet, Lin Feng would use the dark flame lotus against him.
The man stared intently at Lin Feng. Bet. Bet with his life. If Lin Feng was lying to him and his combat power was inferior, he would have a chance to kill Lin Feng. But if Lin Feng's destructive lotus was still enough to kill him, then the outcome of his bet would likely cost him his life.
"I admit you are a talent. I think we can turn enemies into friends. I'll recommend you to a place. Once you're there, you'll have privileges in the Snow Moon Kingdom. No one will dare to oppress you anymore."
The man looked at Lin Feng and said slowly. Lin Feng was growing too fast. His talent was much better than Cold Moon's. What's more rare was that Lin Feng's will and courage were not something Cold Moon or She Qiong could compare to. This had to do with a person's experience and understanding.
Hearing the man's words, the crowd's eyes narrowed slightly. Recommend Lin Feng to a place. They naturally understood where the man was talking about. That place was a land countless geniuses yearned for.
But Lin Feng was disdainful. No one would dare to oppress you?
If Lin Feng wasn't mistaken, She Qiong and Cold Moon were also going to that place. If his strength was weak, She Qiong could still bully him. And if his strength was strong enough, did he still need a force to protect him? Who would dare to provoke him?
Everything was determined by strength. If you were weak, you would inevitably be bullied, no matter where you were. Only the strong could avoid oppression and do as they pleased.
What Lin Feng yearned for was that kind of unrestrained, carefree life where he could soar through heaven and earth and do whatever he wanted. No one could oppress or bully him.
But Lin Feng also understood very well that on this cold and heartless continent, to achieve all this, one could only obtain powerful strength and continuously step toward the peak of martial arts. He yearned for the stirring passion of soaring through heaven and earth, and he longed for the lofty ambition of soaring through the nine heavens.
When a hero is angered, he kills one person with each step. Whoever bullies him, whoever wants to kill him, he kills them.
Now, although Lin Feng's strength couldn't yet let him soar through heaven and earth, at least he couldn't allow himself to be casually bullied by others.
Back in Tianluo Ancient City, Cold Moon was extremely arrogant, bullying him for his lack of strength. Now, in the Imperial City, Cold Moon wanted to kill him again. If he didn't kill Cold Moon, Lin Feng's heart wouldn't be at peace. Today, Cold Moon must die.
"Sorry, I'm not interested." Lin Feng spat out a cold word to the man. The purple ocean around him roared, and countless tentacles coiled around his body, eerie and strange.
Lin Feng's refusal made the man's expression freeze. Not interested. For the third time, he had heard someone refuse to step into that sacred place. The first two who refused dated back eighteen years. Those two were exceptionally brilliant. One was called Zhuge Wuqing. The other, he still didn't know his name to this day, only that he had a twin martial soul.
Back then, he was still young, not yet at the Mysterious Martial Realm. He had always hoped to step into that place but didn't have the qualifications.
Since he had stepped into that place, no one had ever refused. Everyone schemed and hoped to enter. But Lin Feng refused.
Not only that, after glancing at him, Lin Feng looked at Cold Moon again, no longer paying him any attention.
Taking a step forward, Lin Feng, draped in the Purple Serpent martial soul and holding the dark lotus in his hand, walked toward Cold Moon. His speed wasn't fast, but each step was extremely steady.
Cold Moon's body trembled. He thought he had escaped death, but he sadly discovered that Lin Feng still wanted to kill him.
He looked at the man, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He could only place his hope on the other party.
The man had once told him that he, Cold Moon, was meant to become a member of that place. How could he die here? He absolutely couldn't die.
"Lin Feng, think carefully. Do you know what you're refusing? And do you know who the person you want to kill is?"
The man stared at Lin Feng, threatening him.
"I don't know. I only know that anyone who wants my life must die." A cold voice came from Lin Feng's mouth.
"Have you heard of the Guardian of the Snow Moon Kingdom?"
Seeing that Lin Feng was still stubborn, the man shouted angrily. He believed that saying this would be enough to intimidate anyone, including Lin Feng.
"Guardian?" Lin Feng was stunned. He really hadn't heard of it. He only knew that Liu Canglan had guarded the Snow Moon Kingdom for decades but ended up with such a miserable fate. The Guardian of the Snow Moon Kingdom, in Lin Feng's eyes, was a joke.
Lin Feng didn't yet know that the Guardian of the Snow Moon Kingdom the man referred to was the most mysterious legion in the Snow Moon Kingdom, a powerful legion enough to overthrow the Snow Moon Kingdom.
Whoever could command that legion would be the supreme ruler of the Snow Moon Kingdom.
"Cold Moon is about to become a member of it. Killing him is killing the future guardian of the Snow Moon Kingdom." Seeing Lin Feng pause, the man continued, staring at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng paused in midair, looking at him. His eyes flickered, and then Lin Feng's lips slightly moved. He opened his mouth and said, "What does the guardian of the Snow Moon Kingdom have to do with me, Lin Feng?"
With that, Lin Feng stepped through the void and appeared in front of Cold Moon in an instant. This scene made everyone's eyes freeze.
What did the guardian of the Snow Moon Kingdom have to do with him, Lin Feng?
The Purple Serpent roared, and a sense of annihilation spread. The crowd only saw a blurry figure flash by. Cold Moon's body was entangled by the Purple Serpent, then bound in the void, unable to move. Then, the flame Lin Feng held in his palm descended upon Cold Moon, cruel and indifferent.
"Ah..."
A painful howl pierced the crowd's eardrums. The annihilating flame burned, and in an instant, Cold Moon's entire body turned charred black.
The Purple Serpent martial soul was still in the void, but what it bound was only air. Cold Moon had disappeared, completely disappeared, with only the screams still lingering in the space.
Lin Feng stood there, holding the annihilating flame in his hand, his gaze cold, devoid of any emotion, and certainly without pity.
Turning his gaze, Lin Feng's eyes fell on the man again. The man stared at him, his gaze icy cold.
"I said, today he must die. No one can save him. You saved him once, but there will never be a second time." Lin Feng spat out a word, looking at the man: "I killed him. What are you going to do?"
"What are you going to do?"
Lin Feng questioned the man. You didn't want me to kill him, but I still did. What are you going to do?
At this moment, Lin Feng still held the dark lotus in his hand, but the darkness was no longer as pure as before.
The man's face changed unpredictably. Lin Feng asked him what he was going to do. What could he do?
He had long valued Cold Moon and brought him to the Imperial City. Cold Moon was destined to be a member of the Snow Dragon Guard in the future. But Lin Feng showed no mercy and still killed Cold Moon. The Snow Dragon Guard, the guardian of the Snow Moon Kingdom. But what did all this have to do with him, Lin Feng?
The guardian of the Snow Moon Kingdom was nothing more than a tool of the royal family. Lin Feng wouldn't be so foolish as to be loyal to the Snow Moon Kingdom or the royal family.
"You will regret what you did today." Staring at Lin Feng for a long time, the man spat out a sentence. Killing a reserve member of the Snow Dragon Guard and offending She Qiong, Lin Feng would pay the price.
"If you want to fight, I, Lin Feng, will accompany you. If not, then get lost." Lin Feng ignored the other party's nonsense. Too many people had already said he would regret it. But since he had done it, he would never regret it. Everything was just following his heart, with a clear conscience.
