Chapter 373: Ten Thousand Beasts Sect Disciples
After collecting Origin Stones for a short while, Lin Feng's figure flickered and abruptly appeared before a black-robed strong cultivator.
"What are you doing?" The black-robed strong cultivator saw Lin Feng, frowned, and said, "Hurry up and collect more Origin Stones. Let's each mind our own business and not interfere with each other."
"Others can, but you cannot." Lin Feng said coldly, causing the black-robed strong cultivator's frown to deepen.
"Not long ago, you told me to leave the items behind and get lost. Now, I'm returning those words to you. Leave the Storage Ring behind and get lost." Lin Feng spat out a cold voice. Earlier, only the black-robed man and the middle-aged man surnamed Li had told him to get lost. Now, the middle-aged man surnamed Li was dead, and only this one remained. Lin Feng naturally would not let him off. If there was a grudge, it could be settled on the spot.
"Why didn't you make a move against me earlier, and wait until now?" The black-robed man's face turned ugly. In truth, after seeing Lin Feng kill the middle-aged man surnamed Li with a single sword strike, he had been feeling uneasy, afraid that Lin Feng would retaliate because of those words. But Lin Feng seemed not to have heard him and ignored him. Now, however, Lin Feng had come looking for him.
"Having you help me collect Origin Stones for a while, isn't that a good thing?" Lin Feng pressed forward. The black-robed old man's body suddenly trembled, and he burst out of the ground.
Lin Feng sneered. His Sword Intent surged, cracking the ground inch by inch, and his body also shot out.
But the moment Lin Feng rushed out of the ground, a wild and domineering palm strike came at him. True Yuan surged, and the palm carried a gust of Yin wind.
Lin Feng's body instantly halted, shifting sideways like an afterimage to dodge. A booming sound rang out as the palm strike slammed into the ground, causing it to collapse and form a huge crater.
"Killing him doesn't mean you can be arrogant and reckless." The black-robed man stared at Lin Feng, speaking coldly.
"Is that so?" Lin Feng stared back at him, slowly stepping forward. A Sword Intent surged and pulsed from his body: "Since you won't leave, then die."
As his words fell, a strong killing intent emerged from Lin Feng.
With a step forward, Lin Feng's sword slashed directly at the opponent. Sword Qi tore through the space, making a sizzling sound.
The black-robed man did not dodge. He crossed his hands, and two terrifying black vortexes condensed in his palms, emitting a roaring howl, extremely fearsome.
The True Yuan Sword stabbed into the two black vortexes, producing a few sizzling sounds. The sword was actually stuck there, unable to advance further.
"You are too arrogant. Killing a Mysterious Martial Realm cultivator doesn't mean anything. The one who will leave his life here is you." The black-robed man's gaze clashed with Lin Feng's in mid-air. They were close at hand. Behind the black-robed man, strands of dark tentacles appeared, extremely eerie. Those dark tentacles all lashed toward Lin Feng.
"Martial Soul, you're not the only one who has one." Lin Feng said coldly in return. Behind him, endless purple tentacles spread out. Each tentacle was like a demon serpent, inexhaustible, ten or even dozens of times more numerous than the opponent's dark tentacles.
In an instant, the purple tentacles completely overwhelmed the dark tentacles, rolling toward the black-robed man. This scene made the black-robed strong cultivator's face change drastically. The two dark vortexes in his hands suddenly exploded, releasing a wild and domineering aura. At the same time, his body also retreated sharply.
"Close call." The black-robed man saw that the purple tentacles did not appear, and only the airflow from the exploding black vortexes was in front of him. He secretly felt lucky.
But at that moment, his nerves suddenly tightened. Then he saw a very faint light flash within the dark airflow, causing his pupils to contract sharply.
"Not good." A sharp aura locked onto him firmly. An extremely intense sense of danger made his face change again. He wanted to retreat, but it was too late. A dark cross-shaped light suddenly bloomed, eerie and dazzling. A deep pain came from his chest. Looking down, the black-robed man saw a blood-colored cross at his chest, and Lin Feng was standing right in front of him.
Cross Shadow Kill Technique: Shadow Kill. Transform the body into a shadow, formless and invisible.
"I told you earlier to leave the Storage Ring behind." Lin Feng said indifferently. A sharp aura burst forth, sweeping across the black-robed strong cultivator's body. Then a Storage Ring appeared in the air, which Lin Feng grabbed directly. The black-robed strong cultivator's body slowly fell. Another Mysterious Martial Realm strong cultivator had fallen.
All of this happened in a very short time. At this moment, the other four Mysterious Martial Realm strong cultivators stopped collecting Origin Stones and all looked up at Lin Feng and the falling corpse.
They were all Mysterious Martial Realm strong cultivators, but Lin Feng killed one of them as easily as slaughtering a chicken or a dog. What a terrifying young man. Their gazes toward Lin Feng also held a hint of wariness.
"Don't worry, I won't touch anyone who has no enmity with me." Lin Feng glanced at the four below, then turned his gaze to the distance. From there came terrifying roars, with flames swirling in the void.
"We should leave. Let others fight for this place."
"Just leave like that?" One person was clearly unwilling. Such a vein of Origin Qi, and they hadn't collected much yet. To give up and leave like this was too frustrating.
"If you don't leave, then stay here." Lin Feng said coldly. He didn't know these people; he was just giving a warning. Whether they listened was up to them.
That person's gaze froze. He gritted his teeth in reluctance but still nodded: "Fine, let's go."
"Go? None of you will be able to leave."
Just then, a rolling voice came from afar, domineering and overbearing, causing Lin Feng and the others' gazes to freeze as they looked into the distance.
That ball of flame was getting closer and closer. It turned out to be flames burning on the surface of a demon beast.
This demon beast was extremely majestic, with a massive body wreathed in crimson flames. On its huge body were many sharp spikes. Even more shocking was that this demon lion had crimson wings on its back, soaring through the air.
"Crimson Flame Demon Lion." Seeing this demon beast, Lin Feng's pupils contracted. It was actually a Crimson Flame Demon Lion. In the past, he had obtained it from the Imperial City's Prison Arena and then auctioned it off.
"The Crimson Flame Demon Lion is truly powerful. It has already become a Mysterious Demon." Lin Feng said to himself. The peak of a Crimson Flame Demon Lion could even become a Heavenly Demon. It was just that his strength back then was too weak, only at the Fifth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm, and he didn't even have the ability to protect the Crimson Flame Demon Lion. Otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn't have auctioned it off.
Of course, perhaps in his hands, the Crimson Flame Demon Lion wouldn't have become a Mysterious Demon so quickly. After all, the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were obviously more skilled at taming demon beasts and raising their levels than he was.
The master of the Crimson Flame Demon Lion was none other than the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's genius disciple, Mad Lion, who had won the Crimson Flame Demon Lion at the auction back then. He remembered that the arrogant Meng Cong was very afraid of Mad Lion. Now, nearly two years had passed, and Mad Lion, like the Crimson Flame Demon Lion, had stepped into the Mysterious Martial Realm.
Besides Mad Lion and his Crimson Flame Demon Lion, many other demon beasts appeared around Lin Feng and the others, all seemingly controlled, surrounding them. However, these demon beasts were relatively weak, being some Spirit Demons.
Mad Lion also recognized Lin Feng. Looking at Lin Feng, he said, "What a coincidence. Thank you for giving me Crimson Flame back then. But today, since I've discovered this vein of Origin Qi, it belongs to my Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. For the sake of Crimson Flame, leave all your Storage Rings behind, and I'll let you go."
"Ten Thousand Beasts Sect." The four Mysterious Martial Realm strong cultivators around Lin Feng froze. A major force had indeed appeared.
"You discovered it, so it belongs to your Ten Thousand Beasts Sect? I was the one who discovered this vein of Origin Qi first." Lin Feng said coldly.
"I don't care about that, and I don't want to waste words with you. Two paths, you choose. One: leave the Storage Rings and I let you go. The other: die." Mad Lion said domineeringly.
"Hmph, quite the big talk. You're just one person and one demon beast. Are you so confident you can keep us here?"
A Mysterious Martial Realm strong cultivator said coldly.
"Just me? How ridiculous." Mad Lion said indifferently. Before his words even faded, demon beasts roared. In the dense forest not far from Guan Jian Peak, many demon beasts and human figures appeared, each with one person and one beast.
"This vein of Origin Qi is ours." One of them said coldly. They had originally been hunting deep within the Nine Dragons Mountain Range. When they encountered the heaven and earth upheaval, they rushed over and discovered a vein of Origin Qi.
