Chapter 423: Joining Forces
At this moment, the man's gaze had already scattered, his death utterly complete. Lin Feng walked step by step, arriving before the corpse. Beneath his feet, there was no sound at all.
But Lin Feng naturally knew that right now, beneath him, there were people—and their methods were extremely cruel.
Suddenly, Lin Feng lifted his foot and stomped heavily on the ground. Instantly, a booming sound rang out, and a gap the size of a door appeared right there. Lin Feng's body descended downward.
"Chi, chi..." A terrifying killing intent descended upon Lin Feng, causing his entire body to tense up. Before him, a sharp spike formed from stone shot toward his heart—fast, extremely fast.
"Jiang Shan!" A trace of icy coldness appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. This cruel scoundrel was the current number one core disciple of Hao Yue Sect, Jiang Shan.
"What a coincidence!" Lin Feng's expression was ice-cold. His palm slashed down, and a sword qi surged forth. Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, the spike in Jiang Shan's hand shattered inch by inch, finally disappearing completely. The spike was far from being as sharp as Lin Feng's sword.
Jiang Shan waved his palm seals, and instantly, layers of massive rocks rumbled as they smashed toward Lin Feng's sword. With a series of booming sounds, the rocks burst apart, and Jiang Shan's body retreated several meters, his gaze fixed tightly on Lin Feng.
He never expected to run into Lin Feng. Among the people Jiang Shan least wanted to meet, Lin Feng was one of them.
Being able to kill twelve Mysterious Martial Realm experts, Lin Feng's strength could not possibly be exaggerated—it was truly formidable.
Although he had also recently stepped into the Second Layer of Mysterious Martial Realm, the same realm as Lin Feng, Lin Feng had even killed several people at the Third Layer of Mysterious Martial Realm. He couldn't do that.
"Hao Yue Sect really doesn't have a single good thing." Lin Feng's expression was cold as he stepped toward Jiang Shan step by step, causing Jiang Shan's heart to tighten.
"Lin Feng, the grudge between you and my Hao Yue Sect will be settled by Chu Zhanpeng himself. You and I are like well water and river water—we don't interfere with each other. Why must you make a move against me?" Jiang Shan's voice carried a hint of weakness. Fighting Lin Feng, he truly didn't dare.
"Well water and river water?" Lin Feng sneered. Jiang Shan's words were truly laughable.
Pointing at the corpse, Lin Feng said coldly, "You and he seemed to be like well water and river water too, but you ambushed and killed him. What explanation do you have for that?"
Jiang Shan's expression stiffened. Once inside, he had prepared himself for slaughter. Seeing the other person sneaking around, he had seized the opportunity to kill him. But now that Lin Feng was asking him, he didn't know how to answer.
"Killing doesn't need any reason. If I really need one, the fact that you're from Hao Yue Sect alone is enough for me to kill you."
The killing intent on Lin Feng grew dense as he slowly pressed toward Jiang Shan. Jiang Shan's eyes narrowed, a cold light flickering. From his body, a heavy, vast aura of martial soul power emanated. A phantom mountain shadow appeared behind Jiang Shan.
"Killing me won't be that simple."
Jiang Shan shouted coldly, reaching out his hand and slapping forward. Instantly, layers of massive mountain shadows hurtled toward Lin Feng, as if trying to engulf his body.
Lin Feng's gaze was cold. Watching those mountain shadows crash down, he waved his hand. A terrifying sword intent burst forth, accompanied by the sound of tearing cracks, followed by a series of booming explosions, one after another.
"Boom, boom..."
The mountain shadows were either split apart by the sword qi or directly shattered into powder. When they were all cleaved away, Lin Feng saw Jiang Shan's figure darting like a shadow toward other palaces, fleeing.
"Cunning bastard!"
Lin Feng sneered. His body turned into a gust of wind, light and agile, incredibly fast—unfathomably so.
Jiang Shan, fleeing ahead, felt his whole body tighten. He turned around, and his eyes were filled with shock.
Lin Feng had already reached him so quickly. Terrifying sword qi surged toward him, as if about to tear his body apart.
"Don't kill me!" Jiang Shan roared. A massive corpse, like a mountain, smashed toward Lin Feng, as if in a desperate struggle.
"Not kill?"
Lin Feng's eyes were full of killing intent. His sword slashed down. The booming sound was deafening. A sword light cleaved down from the void, splitting the massive mountain rock in two. A look of terror flashed in Jiang Shan's eyes. Every one of Lin Feng's swords was so powerful.
"Get lost!" Jiang Shan shouted angrily at the sword slashing toward him. His entire body seemed to transform into rolling mountain rocks, as majestic as a mountain. His whole body swelled, and rock covered his form.
Jiang Shan's body, now like a small mountain, charged toward Lin Feng—fast, extremely fast. The boulder his body had become carried a sharp edge. If Lin Feng were hit, he would be severely injured if not killed.
"Wind!" Lin Feng shouted softly. His body retreated, graceful and free. The true essence sword in his hand slowly rose, filled with destructive power.
"Come and kill me!" Jiang Shan roared. His figure charged at Lin Feng but couldn't touch him. Lin Feng's speed was too fast, and the distance between them only grew.
Ignoring Jiang Shan, the destructive momentum of the true essence sword in Lin Feng's hand grew stronger and stronger, becoming extremely terrifying.
"Kill!" Lin Feng roared. Rolling killing intent surged like sound waves. The entire space was filled with the slaughter of swords. As his voice fell, the sword in his hand slashed down toward Jiang Shan.
"Chi, chi!"
Just then, a faint sound rang out. The ground beneath Lin Feng's feet burst open, and a figure shot up from below.
The sword Lin Feng was slashing toward Jiang Shan paused slightly. This person was coming for him, to kill him.
"Jiang Shan, kill!"
Another fierce shout rang out. From above, a figure rushed down headfirst, attacking Lin Feng. His entire body was filled with killing intent, the target still Lin Feng.
Ahead, above, and below—three people in total had almost simultaneously made their moves, all wanting to kill Lin Feng.
"Kill!" Seeing this, Jiang Shan seemed to throw caution to the wind. He stopped his retreat and charged toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's gaze was extremely cold. The killing intent from above and below was terrifying. And now Jiang Shan was ready to fight to the death. Although Lin Feng was confident he could kill Jiang Shan, he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't be hit by the other two. If he were struck, it wouldn't be good for him. So Lin Feng chose not to kill Jiang Shan.
His body turned into a whirlwind, and Lin Feng instantly retreated ten meters. With a booming sound, the space where he had just stood seemed to be torn to shreds.
"Good thing I'm fast enough!"
Lin Feng's gaze was cold. Inside here, his senses were limited. Being ambushed like this, if he weren't fast enough, he could easily be killed in one blow. Even with his strong combat power, if a powerful attack landed on him, he would still be killed.
His eyes were icy and sharp. Lin Feng's body floated in the air, looking at the three figures before him.
These three were Jiang Shan of Hao Yue Sect, Luo Yuntian of Luo Xia Sect, and Dugu Ye!
Luo Yuntian was the top disciple of Luo Xia Sect. It was no surprise he wanted to kill Lin Feng. Dugu Ye should be from the Dugu Clan. Lin Feng had once humiliated Dugu Shang and Dugu Xiao, and Dugu Ye was likely from the same family.
The three of them had failed to kill Lin Feng in that one strike, and their expressions turned unpleasant.
Among them, Jiang Shan and Luo Yuntian were both at the Second Layer of Mysterious Martial Realm, while Dugu Ye was at the Third Layer. That one strike hadn't killed Lin Feng. Given Lin Feng's formidable strength, dealing with him would probably be difficult.
At the same time, by the Xiangjiang River, the countless onlookers all looked up, watching Lin Feng and the three confronting him. They had finally clashed. Lin Feng, alone against three geniuses—what would the outcome be?
Outside, the crowd could also clearly see the traces of others. Of the thirty-two people, more than ten had already died, mercilessly killed. None of those who had stepped inside were good-natured.
Above Lin Feng, a holy and graceful figure seemed to be searching for him, groping through room after room. But when she saw the corpse and was about to go down, footsteps suddenly sounded. Ahead, a figure appeared before her.
The former Imperial Guard Commander, She Qiong!
"His woman!" She Qiong's expression tightened, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Meng Qing was Lin Feng's woman, and Lin Feng had taken his woman, Duan Xinye.
PS: Today's update was late because the backend was acting up. Sorry about that. Four chapters done. My head is dizzy and heavy. Early to bed, early to rise. I'm asking my brothers for a few flowers. The extra chapter today is exactly the one to make up for the 350-flower bonus!
