Chapter 477: Showdown
The Fifth Envoy's gaze froze, staring intently at Lin Feng. Lin Feng, for the second time, was challenging him to a life-and-death battle!
Fight, or not fight?
The Fifth Envoy wavered. His first refusal had already severely damaged his reputation. Now, Lin Feng was challenging him a second time, and this was after the Sixth Envoy had already refused. Could he refuse again?
If he refused again, it wouldn't just damage his own reputation, but that of the Seven Envoys of Heavenly Wind as well.
Cowardice, incompetence—being suppressed by a single Lin Feng. More importantly, Lin Feng's cultivation was only at the Third Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm.
If someone with a higher cultivation than them issued a challenge, they could refuse with dignity. But Lin Feng's cultivation was weaker than theirs. If they refused his challenge, it was pure cowardice and incompetence.
"If you don't dare to fight, just say so." Lin Feng said coldly. This Fifth Envoy kept silent—what was the point?
"You're seeking death." The Fifth Envoy glanced at the Fourth Envoy beside him. Lin Feng was challenging them one by one, each opponent stronger than the last. He didn't believe Lin Feng wouldn't die.
"I won't fight."
The Fifth Envoy finally spoke, earning a sneer from Lin Feng.
"If you won't fight, then why waste words? When you were stirring up trouble, you were so arrogant and aggressive. But when the real moment comes, you cower and retreat. The Seven Envoys of Heavenly Wind have gained another useless waste."
With undisguised contempt, Lin Feng walked past the Fifth Envoy, his gaze landing on the Fourth Envoy.
"Today, I, Lin Feng, want to see just how cowardly and incompetent these Seven Envoys of Heavenly Wind really are—the ones who came to Snow Moon speaking so grandly and mightily."
"Lin Feng of Snow Moon challenges the Fourth Envoy of Heavenly Wind to a life-and-death battle."
Another voice rang out from Lin Feng's mouth. The third challenge.
Everyone fell silent, Lin Feng's voice the only sound echoing in their ears. Lin Feng was challenging them one by one. The Fourth Envoy was the third person he had challenged. This time, would the Fourth Envoy fight or not?
If the Fourth Envoy still refused, then only the Second and Third Envoys would be left ahead of him.
Everyone's eyes fell on the Fourth Envoy.
"It seems this time, he'll have to fight."
Many eyes gleamed with sharpness. They had already reached the Fourth Envoy; he had no reason to refuse.
"I won't fight."
A voice rang out, but it wasn't the Fourth Envoy who spoke. It was Feng Chen, the prince of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom.
Feng Chen had taken the initiative to speak, telling the Fourth Envoy not to fight.
Hearing Feng Chen's words, the Fourth Envoy was silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Feng and said, "I won't fight."
Lin Feng said nothing more. There was no need for further words. The Fourth Envoy's utterance of "I won't fight" was already a slap in his own face, a slap in the face of the Seven Envoys of Heavenly Wind.
For the third consecutive time, a total of four times, Lin Feng had challenged the Seven Envoys of Heavenly Wind, and no one dared to fight.
Lin Feng walked quietly to the side of the Third Envoy, his expression still calm, yet icy cold. He said, "Lin Feng of Snow Moon challenges the Third Envoy of Heavenly Wind to a life-and-death battle."
"Whoosh..."
Everyone's gazes froze, and they let out long breaths. Lin Feng had actually challenged all the way to the Third Envoy. This was too arrogant and overbearing.
The Third Envoy was the third-strongest among the Seven Envoys of Heavenly Wind. Yet Lin Feng, without any hesitation, challenged him again.
The people of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom also had stiff expressions. This Lin Feng was too arrogant; he was seeking his own death.
The Third Envoy was already a powerful existence at the Fifth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm. They didn't believe that Lin Feng, at the Third Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm, could fight across two levels.
Lin Feng was seeking his own death.
This time, the Third Envoy of the Seven Envoys of Heavenly Wind did not remain silent. He stood up, staring icily at Lin Feng.
"I accept."
The Third Envoy spoke, and as his words fell, a murderous intent bloomed, surging toward Lin Feng.
"After being cowardly for so long, you finally dare to accept a challenge." Lin Feng smiled faintly, his figure flickering as he appeared on the spacious martial arts arena. He stood with his hands behind his back. Under the moonlight, in the cold wind, his clothes fluttered.
The Third Envoy's gaze was icy cold. He took a step, and in an instant, he also arrived at the martial arts arena, standing opposite Lin Feng. The two faced each other.
"Whoosh..." A gust of wind swept through, stirring the clothes of both men, causing the robes of the Third Envoy and Lin Feng to billow. Strangely, this swirling wind seemed to carry the aura of a sword, imbued with sword intent.
The Third Envoy was a sword cultivator, and Lin Feng also used a sword.
"I will show you that not fighting doesn't mean cowardice. It just means I want you to die more beautifully." The Third Envoy said calmly. A cold light appeared, and the icy sword on his back unsheathed itself, dancing in the void, spinning around the Third Envoy with a whistling sound.
It was dazzling. The Third Envoy's sword moved like a shadow of light, spinning and dancing, very splendid.
But Lin Feng, seeing that splendid sword, revealed a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.
"With the wind."
His body moved with his will. A gentle breeze brushed by, and Lin Feng's body moved like the wind—fast, so fast there was no trace. It was like a light wind sweeping through the space, without a terrifying roar, without a shocking howl of the wind.
Lin Feng's body was light as if weightless, floating through the air like willow catkins, like falling leaves. But it was as fast as the wind itself, arriving in front of the Third Envoy in an instant.
Lin Feng's hand rose slightly, and he gently pointed a finger toward the Third Envoy's body. Sword energy howled at his fingertip, and a faint, cold gleam of a sword condensed at his fingertip, carrying a terrifying, piercing sharpness.
"Oh?"
The Third Envoy's gaze tightened. Lin Feng's speed was terrifying; he had reached him in an instant.
This finger contained a strong sword intent. Although it wasn't too powerful, if it struck his chest, it could still destroy him.
"Retreat."
The Third Envoy's body shot backward, and his sword stopped its whistling, hovering in mid-air.
"Chi, chi..."
A soft sound rang out. Lin Feng's finger-sword stabbed into the Third Envoy's body, tearing his clothes and leaving a bloody finger mark on his chest. It was only a hair's breadth away from piercing his chest.
Standing there, the sword whistled back into the Third Envoy's hand. He stared at Lin Feng in front of him. That was close. He had been careless for a moment and was actually wounded by Lin Feng.
"A sword is not for juggling."
Lin Feng said mockingly, causing the Third Envoy's gaze to stiffen. Lin Feng was insulting his sword, saying that his swordplay was just juggling.
"I will show you my sword."
The Third Envoy said coldly. The sword light flashed, as clear as polished silver.
"Sword Shadow, Star Light."
With a low shout, the Third Envoy thrust his sword. Dots of starlight were exceptionally brilliant, blooming in the dark space, very beautiful.
"Slaughter."
Lin Feng shouted lowly. A terrifying sword slaughter burst forth, freezing heaven and earth momentarily, leaving only rolling slaughter, terrifying beyond measure.
Will, Sword Dao Slaughter Will.
The crowd watched the two fighters. The Third Envoy of Heavenly Wind used Sword Shadow, Star Light. His sword technique turned into starlight, colorful and brilliant. Lin Feng's sword had no fancy moves, only terrifying slaughter, shaking people's hearts.
Lin Feng's cultivation realm was not as high as the Third Envoy's, but this intent to slaughter crazily boosted his momentum. Around him, it seemed a dark, slaughtering airflow rolled madly, merging into his slaughtering momentum.
"Boom!"
The Third Envoy's sword attacked in front of Lin Feng. Starlight dotted the space, and a terrifying explosive force came from those dots of starlight. The star light would actually explode, containing another hidden, dark force.
Lin Feng took a step. With a loud rumble, rolling dark slaughter energy swallowed everything, swallowing those dots of starlight.
The Slaughter Sword transformed into a Dark Sword, becoming more and more terrifying.
"Ten Thousand Starlight."
The Third Envoy shouted again. A sword scar streaked across the sky, like the light of the Milky Way, slashing down from the sky, ten thousand rays of starlight.
"Rumble!"
Lin Feng took another step. Only darkness and slaughter danced wildly in the air, destroying everything.
"Slash!" A furious shout rang out. The Dark Sword merged again with the ten thousand rays of starlight that slashed across the void. The wind of destruction raged wildly.
"Nine Stars, Heaven's Annihilation."
The Third Envoy charged out from this ravaging space. Nine stars linked in a chain, washing away all impurities, illuminating everything, yet also destroying everything.
"Slash!"
The Dark Sword light slashed out. A rumbling storm of destruction swept through the void. The Third Envoy still pressed forward, determined to kill Lin Feng. The momentum of the nine linked stars still slashed down from the void.
But at this moment, within the roaring dark light, Lin Feng's left hand slowly appeared there. In Lin Feng's left hand, there was a black lotus, a quiet black lotus.
As Lin Feng's hand rose, this black lotus slowly floated toward the Third Envoy, who was slashing down from the void. A suppressed, ultimate aura of destruction began to spread, and a storm of destruction took shape.
