Chapter 458: A Thousand Black Lotuses
Lin Feng and the other two continued to gallop across the yellow earth, rolling dust clouds billowing behind them. In the distance, a towering city gate loomed faintly into view; they could already see the Horizon Pavilion.
"We're almost there," Nuona murmured softly. Throughout this journey, her heart had been turned upside down. Lin Feng's strength and methods had completely overturned her understanding of martial arts. The strongest person she had ever seen was at the Spirit Martial Realm—her father. But now, traveling with Lin Feng, facing those terrifying Fire Wolves that everyone feared, Lin Feng had slaughtered his way through.
It wasn't beasts killing humans, but humans annihilating beasts. He even devoured the crystal cores from the Fire Wolves, merging them into his own flames. Nuona had never heard of such things before.
She could only sigh inwardly, realizing that powerful martial cultivators were truly capable of anything. If one could truly master the heavens and earth, there would be no need to fear Fire Wolves at all.
Unfortunately, those true great powerhouses were all within the city of Horizon Pavilion. Rumor had it that only when an incredibly powerful Fire Wolf King appeared would those experts intervene. Otherwise, they wouldn't bother to act, allowing countless lives to be devoured by the Fire Wolves without lifting a finger. Such was the cruelty of this lawless world—everyone only cared about themselves, never thinking of others, let alone harboring any notion of doing good.
"Oooow... Oooow..."
A series of terrifying wolf howls rolled in, causing Lin Feng's brow to furrow. His eyes narrowed, a cold gleam flashing within them.
"A pack of wolves is coming," Lin Feng muttered.
The Fire Wolves had long coveted Horizon Pavilion, seeking to break in and slaughter all humans. Thus, near Horizon Pavilion, packs of wolves had gathered, all watching the city, waiting for an even larger force to assemble before launching a coordinated attack.
"Oooow... Oooow... Oooow..."
The piercing wolf howls echoed endlessly, as if summoning their companions. Countless Fire Wolves let out low, guttural cries simultaneously, sending a chill rising from the depths of human hearts—a desolate, bone-chilling cold. It felt as though countless Fire Wolves had gathered together, lifting their heads to the sky and howling.
"A pack!" Nuona's face paled slightly. Horizon Pavilion was right before them, but encountering a wolf pack now was terrifying.
A pack was nothing like a lone wolf. They were incredibly united, fearless of death—just like those chieftains of the Desert Wolves, who were wolves incarnate. Even knowing they would die, they would madly attack Lin Feng, refusing to stop until they tore him apart.
Wolves only grew more frenzied as they saw their companions killed. And within a pack, there was always an alpha wolf, whose strength was surely terrifying. The larger the pack, the more fearsome the alpha.
As they neared Horizon Pavilion, the view gradually widened. Ahead lay an endless, vast desert expanse. But because of its openness, Lin Feng and the others could clearly see hundreds, even thousands, of Fire Wolves converging toward them. In an instant, countless fierce glints flashed, an utterly terrifying sight.
Yet Lin Feng charged ahead, his steps never pausing for a moment, as if utterly fearless, as if he hadn't seen the wolf pack at all.
"Meng Qing, take Nuona to the city first. I'll clear the way," Lin Feng said coldly. Meng Qing nodded slightly; this was no time for sentimentality.
"Kill!"
A low voice spat from Lin Feng's mouth. A terrifying aura of slaughter burst forth from him. Instead of slowing, Lin Feng's pace increased, becoming even more ferocious.
"Oooow..."
Seeing this human dare to charge at them, the Fire Wolves bared their fangs, forming an arc to surround Lin Feng, dense and packed.
Suddenly, Lin Feng took a step forward. The ground exploded with a thunderous boom as his body launched into the air, reaching the void.
Yang Fire True Yuan swirled around his body, bathing Lin Feng in flames. Sunlight streamed down directly, landing on Lin Feng and his sword, releasing a brilliant radiance of ten thousand feet, blinding to the eye.
"Slash!"
A low voice spat from Lin Feng's mouth. Dazzling light of ten thousand feet burst forth, obscuring Lin Feng's figure. All that remained was the sword—the sword of the blazing sun, the sword of the sun.
"Roar!"
The demon wolves let out bloodthirsty, low howls. Many of them even leaped toward Lin Feng in the void, trying to tear him apart. But the moment they touched the ten-thousand-foot radiance, they felt their bodies being ripped apart, letting out low, whimpering cries. Lin Feng's sword... was terrifying.
"Chi, chi..." Sharp sounds rang out as Lin Feng's sword descended from the void. Wherever the sunlight passed, the bodies of the demon wolves were torn apart. A rift like a blazing sun seemed to appear in the space, falling from the sky.
"Boom, rumble!"
"Oooow..."
The earth cracked open. Wailing and howling filled the air. Countless demon wolves were torn apart by this single sword strike. The yellow earth was split open by a fissure, cracking apart to both sides, and some demon wolves even fell into it.
"Go!"
Lin Feng shouted. Meng Qing immediately understood. She stomped the ground, her body soaring through the air, graceful as an immortal. Even in flight, her figure remained breathtakingly beautiful.
Lin Feng's body also rose into the air, moving ahead of Meng Qing. Another slash of sunlight cut out, forcing the wolves to retreat. Lin Feng carved out a path, and Meng Qing carried Nuona across the void, breaking free from the encirclement of wolves.
"Oooow..."
Terrifying wolf howls rang out again. The demon wolves all wanted to give chase, but Lin Feng's body turned at that moment. First, he slashed out a sword strike, then his body halted in the void. A dark light flashed in his eyes as he stared at the wolf pack with a merciless, icy gaze.
Yang Fire True Yuan light converged wildly around Lin Feng. A terrifying flame force spread out, drifting before him. A black flame lotus slowly floated in the void.
This black flame lotus was deep, dark, carrying an aura of annihilation, incredibly terrifying.
The demon wolves could also sense the terror of the black flame lotus. They even abandoned their pursuit of Meng Qing and Nuona, all fixing their gazes on Lin Feng, on that black lotus.
Lin Feng stared at the wolf pack. With a single glance, he saw nothing but flames—probably a thousand of them. His gaze turned cold, and a dark light flashed in his pupils. Then, his eyes slowly closed. A powerful soul aura released from Lin Feng, madly converging on that destructive black lotus.
An invisible force acted upon the lotus, causing it to slowly rise, floating in the void, spinning gently. The aura of destruction spread wildly.
"Split!"
A low shout spat from Lin Feng's mouth. In an instant, the black lotus in the void exploded, shattering into countless black flames. After the explosion, these black flames stabilized again, as if controlled by an invisible force, spinning madly, once more forming black lotuses—tiny black lotuses.
The entire void was filled with dark lotuses, dense and packed. Their number was no less than that of the demon wolves, if not more.
Lin Feng's eyes remained closed. A hint of strain showed on his face, his brow tightly furrowed. But the sharp lines of his features still revealed the resilient contours beneath.
His lips moved slightly, and a sound emerged from Lin Feng's mouth.
"Perish!"
The low voice fell. A terrifying aura of destruction burst forth. The countless black lotuses seemed to follow their own trajectories, hurtling toward the demon wolves.
"Oooow... Oooow..."
Roars and mournful howls rang out continuously, rising and falling. The demon wolves madly charged at the flame lotuses. Some even tried to devour them. But when the black flame lotuses entered their mouths, an unparalleled aura of destruction erupted. The dark lotuses ignited within their bodies. Soon, the fiery red demon wolves were cloaked in a layer of black flames, writhing in agonized screams.
Hundreds, thousands of demon beasts were all transformed into black flames. The destructive black flames seemed to burn the very heavens and earth. Unfortunately, no one witnessed this utterly shocking scene; otherwise, they would have been struck speechless with astonishment.
A dark, pale color spread across Lin Feng's face. A bead of sweat dripped down his forehead, as if he was straining greatly.
Gritting his teeth slightly, his terrifying perception enveloped the space.
"Come forth!"
A low shout rang out. Amidst the burning dark flames, a cluster of dark light slowly rose, forming dark lotuses. Many of these dark lotuses were slightly larger than before.
"Condense!" Lin Feng shouted. Countless dark lotuses converged once more, madly coalescing. A terrifying destructive force spread out. A stunning dark lotus took shape in the void.
