Chapter 565: Calculated Kill
Lin Feng's pupils gradually turned cold, pitch-black and icy, transforming into the merciless dark eyes.
In the night, seeing Lin Feng's pupils, those people couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in their hearts—such cold eyes.
Yet the killing intent remained fierce. With so many of them present, there was no way they couldn't kill Lin Feng.
"Roar!"
In the void, the purple demon serpent roared and charged out wildly.
"Hmph." The Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert snorted coldly, his palm trembling. Instantly, the purple serpent dispersed, transforming into an endless ocean that rolled toward those people.
"Get back."
A series of overbearing palm winds blasted out, and the purple martial soul couldn't even get close to those experts, blocked by the palm force.
"Withdraw."
Lin Feng shouted inwardly, and the purple light vanished, all returning to his body. At the same time, his body moved again, turning into a streak of light as he fled into the distance.
Dozens of Sixth Layer of Profound Martial Realm powerful existences—he couldn't kill them all. This force was truly terrifying.
"Think you can still escape?"
That Profound Martial Realm expert took a step forward, his figure like the wind. The others also flickered and pursued Lin Feng. They absolutely couldn't let him get away.
Lin Feng fled ahead, his pitch-black pupils devoid of any emotion. Suddenly, his body ignited with blazing flames—true essence fire.
At the same time, the four thousand Buddha-Demon forces furiously circulated, surging through Lin Feng's body.
"Stay right there!" A loud shout came from behind. The Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert was the fastest. Lin Feng couldn't shake off his pursuit at all, and soon he was caught up, immediately sensing a terrifying palm force coming from behind.
But just as the opponent struck, Lin Feng seemed to sense it. His body abruptly plummeted downward, the terrifying palm force brushing past just above his head.
"Boom!"
A sound rang out as Lin Feng's descending body directly smashed through a mountain peak, burrowing into it. The figures in the void all paused for a moment, then charged down toward the mountain peak.
"Boom!"
The Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert was fearless. His body followed directly into the hole Lin Feng had made. As a Seventh Layer Profound Martial Realm expert, he had nothing to fear.
The others flickered, surrounding the mountain peak completely.
This instantaneous movement was so fast it was almost inconceivable, driven entirely by instinct without even time to think.
The hole carved through the mountain peak was pitch-black from top to bottom.
The Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert closely pursued Lin Feng, his face cold as he shouted, "Stop right there."
No one answered him. He only saw that ball of fire burning fiercely, the rocks on both sides even glowing red. It seemed it would only take a moment for Lin Feng to reach the bottom of the mountain.
"No matter how you flee, you can't escape my grasp!"
The Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert raised his palm, gathering a terrifying force within it. As soon as he caught up to Lin Feng, he would press this palm force onto him, confident that Lin Feng would die.
"Is that so?"
The flames flickered, and the endless fire on Lin Feng's body suddenly seemed to vanish, dimming.
A cold voice echoed through the mountain walls. Lin Feng's body abruptly turned around, holding a dark lotus in his hand, its glow illuminating his utterly indifferent face.
This dark lotus was silent and still, but any crushed mountain rocks that touched it instantly turned to nothingness. What the black lotus contained was nothing but endless destructive power.
The Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert's eyes narrowed, his heart trembling violently. He controlled his body to stop descending, while simultaneously blasting his overbearing palm force directly at Lin Feng.
But Lin Feng's body didn't stop at all—not for half a moment. The instant his words fell, he soared upward, holding the black lotus aloft, rising continuously. As Lin Feng ascended, the Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert's body was still descending.
"Chi! Chi!"
The palm force collided with the black lotus. A wave of annihilation energy erupted, destroying all the surrounding mountain walls, turning them to ash. The palm force also vanished without a trace. The destructive black lotus, following Lin Feng's body, continued to surge upward.
"Boom!"
The Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert's body finally stopped. His expression changed drastically. He reversed his momentum, his feet violently stamping against the mountain walls on both sides. The walls caved inward, and his body shot upward with incredible speed.
The terrifying destructive force was right behind him.
How terrifying. He hadn't expected Lin Feng to be able to release such a fearsome black lotus. If that black lotus hit him, he would be destroyed as well.
"Faster, faster..."
The Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert's face tightened, his heart screaming. The destructive force behind him was still pressing down, but he clearly felt it was too close. If he dared to stop for even a moment, he would die without a burial place.
"Die!"
A voice like the Grim Reaper emerged from the void, echoing through the split-open cave, icy and cold.
"No, no!"
The Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert seemed to feel the arrival of death. His heart trembled wildly. Accelerate, accelerate again—but it was still too late.
Lin Feng's speed was already fast, and now he gathered all the power in his body into his palm, sending the black lotus flying forward. The black lotus was like a black streak of destructive light.
"Ah, my leg!"
A miserable scream rang out far into the distance, causing everyone outside the mountain wall to tremble violently. That was... the voice of the Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert—a scream of agony...
"Ah, ah..."
The terrible screams continued. Then, they saw the Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert's body shoot into the sky. But now, his lower body was entwined in a mass of pitch-black flames, burning, instantly turning into black annihilation fire.
This flame climbed upward continuously, spreading to his waist, his chest, his heart...
The crowd's eyes were all frozen there, dumbfounded one by one. Their minds seemed to have stopped thinking.
Such terrifying flames. What... what had happened? Where had these fearsome flames come from?
"Ah..." The screams continued. The Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert rushed into the sky, wailing incessantly, unable to stop the flames from continuing to burn his body.
"Kill him! He's burning his true essence—you must kill him!"
The black flames burned to his chest, his neck, and finally his head. A dignified Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert—dead, killed by Lin Feng, leaving behind a venomous voice as if from the Nine Nether Hell. In his final moments, he probably never imagined he would die, die at Lin Feng's hands.
The crowd hadn't snapped out of it either. They stared at the mass of black flames in the void. The figure of the Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert had already vanished, completely turned to nothingness and ash in the flames.
Dead. He had died before their eyes, turned to nothing in the destructive nether flames.
Turning their gazes, they looked back at the cave entrance. That was where Lin Feng and the Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert had charged in, and where the latter had burst out, carrying the flames of destruction.
But Lin Feng had disappeared, still remaining deep within the mountain.
That dark cave Lin Feng had carved out seemed like a cave of death. No one even dared to go over and see how Lin Feng was inside.
Even though the Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert had said before his death that Lin Feng had burned all his true essence power, what did that matter? Who would risk their own life? What if Lin Feng still had a breath left and released that terrifying destructive flame again? Then whoever went in first would die!
The crowd stood there in a daze, staring at the mountain peak.
In fact, at this moment, Lin Feng had indeed exhausted his true essence power. To kill the Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert, he had fused almost all of his yang fire true essence into the Nether Black Lotus, achieving a one-hit kill.
Fortunately, he had succeeded. The Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert was dead by his hand. But now, he didn't dare to go out. Without true essence power, facing dozens of Sixth Layer of Profound Martial Realm experts was far too dangerous.
The surrounding space fell into dead silence. Everyone was calculating in their own minds, no one breaking this terrifying stillness.
After a long silence, one of the black-robed men seemed to suddenly snap out of it and said, "Everyone, even if he hasn't burned all his true essence, he's probably close. Let's destroy this mountain peak and force him out."
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed when he heard this. Right. They had all been so stunned that they had forgotten to think.
Now, Lin Feng wouldn't come out, so they would force him out!
