Chapter 594: The Domineering Woman
This shocking scene directly overturned the crowd's impression of Duan Wudao, and his image gradually became clearer in their minds.
Who said that the geniuses of Snow Moon Kingdom were inferior to those from the empires? This Duan Wudao's strength was terrifying. Di Long was at least a Sixth Layer of Profound Martial Realm expert, and a very powerful one at that, but before Duan Wudao, he had no power to fight. As soon as Duan Wudao made his move, he was overwhelmingly domineering. If you wanted to try him, he would trample your head under his feet.
"Duan Wudao, domineering and lawless. Those who obey prosper, those who oppose perish."
Many people recalled the rumors about Duan Wudao from the outside world, their hearts churning violently. Under a great reputation, there is no idle man. This Duan Wudao truly lived up to his name.
Lin Feng stood among the crowd, also watching Duan Wudao. The last time, on the night of the full moon at the Xiang River, he had left before Duan Wudao appeared. This time, it was his first time seeing this Snow Moon Crown Prince, the renowned and fearsome Snow Moon Crown Prince. Although he had never seen him in person, Lin Feng had heard of him many times.
"Indeed, he is terrifying. He is in no way weaker than the most outstanding geniuses of these empires."
Lin Feng thought to himself. Di Long, the Overlord Spear, had a considerable reputation in Dragon Mountain Empire, ranked seventh. But compared to someone like Duan Wudao, he was far too inferior, utterly unable to withstand a single blow. If Duan Wudao wanted to kill him, it would be too easy. How laughable that Di Long had dared to despise the Snow Moon Crown Prince. It was undoubtedly self-inflicted humiliation. With such a blow, Di Long's will would likely be affected.
The seven most outstanding geniuses standing in the square also fixed their gazes on Duan Wudao. Impressive. Duan Wudao was qualified to be ranked alongside them. But this made things more exciting. This Snow Domain Grand Competition would definitely not be too dull.
Meanwhile, the crowd was also becoming exceptionally excited, their blood boiling. The participants in this Snow Domain Grand Competition were strong enough, which was why many had traveled great distances to come. Only the clash of genius against genius could further ignite the passion in their hearts and inspire their pursuit of martial arts.
"Duan Wudao, we meet again."
Imperial Mausoleum looked at Duan Wudao, his eyes cold, exuding a sharp battle intent that looked down on the world.
Meet again?
The crowd's gazes froze slightly. So Imperial Mausoleum and Duan Wudao had met before. No wonder Imperial Mausoleum had asked where Duan Wudao was as soon as he arrived. It seemed Imperial Mausoleum placed great importance on Duan Wudao.
"Yes, we meet again. The first place in this Snow Domain Grand Competition will be mine."
Duan Wudao said to Imperial Mausoleum, still as overwhelmingly domineering as ever. In front of everyone, he declared that the first place in the Snow Domain Grand Competition would be his.
"As long as I am here, the first place will never be yours."
Imperial Mausoleum showed no weakness. He had come only for the first place in the Snow Domain Grand Competition. Being the strongest talent in the Snow Domain was their only pursuit.
"You two, are you treating us as air?"
A strange voice sounded. The speaker was Blood Fiend of the Heavenly Fiend Sect from Black Feather Empire. His eyes shimmered with a faint, eerie bloody light. Demonic, extremely demonic.
The Heavenly Fiend Sect was a strange sect to begin with, cultivating terrifying evil and baleful Qi, even able to devour human flesh and blood to replenish itself.
Blood Fiend's words also expressed the thoughts of the others. Were Duan Wudao and Imperial Mausoleum too arrogant, thinking they could seize the first place in the Snow Domain Grand Competition? Then what were they?
"You?"
Imperial Mausoleum glanced at Blood Fiend and said, "You have a chance at the top five."
"Top five?"
Blood Fiend sneered. Imperial Mausoleum dared to say he could only rank in the top five of this Snow Domain Grand Competition? How ridiculous.
"You will see."
Blood Fiend snorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, his body trembled slightly and vanished from the spot.
Blood Fiend left directly. He had already seen the seven people who posed the greatest threat to him. They were all very strong and could indeed threaten him. What he needed to do now was to improve his cultivation. The path of martial arts had no end; one could only continuously climb to higher levels of cultivation.
This Snow Domain Grand Competition was not just a contest; it also held many opportunities. As long as he could seize these opportunities and break through again before the final battle of the Snow Domain Grand Competition, then the first place would be without suspense.
Of course, this was not just Blood Fiend's idea. The others harbored the same thoughts. The other seven also moved their bodies one by one, leaving the square of the Snow Domain Grand Competition.
Seeing the eight of them leave one after another, the crowd did not stay either and gradually dispersed.
"How do you feel?"
At this moment, a voice sounded in Lin Feng's ear. Yun Feiyang had walked up beside him and asked with a smile.
"Those eight are all very strong. Any one of them could easily defeat me."
Lin Feng said frankly. He was very clear about his own cultivation level. The strength of these eight was indeed terrifying, far surpassing his own. He felt a tremendous pressure bearing down on him.
Duan Wuya wanted him to secure a top-nine spot in the Snow Domain Grand Competition, which was not easy. Moreover, he had to defeat Duan Wudao. That Snow Moon Crown Prince was even more terrifying, boldly proclaiming that he would seize the first place in the Snow Domain Grand Competition.
"Don't worry. As long as the Snow Domain Grand Competition hasn't truly ended, there is still a chance."
Yun Feiyang said with a smile. Lin Feng slowly turned his gaze to Yun Feiyang. "What do you mean by that?"
"The Snow Domain Grand Competition, besides selecting geniuses from the empires, also selects geniuses from the vassal states. You know this. In the vassal states, many people's cultivation and strength are actually inferior to some in the empires who couldn't even participate in the Snow Domain Grand Competition. But why do the empires still choose to do this, allocating ten spots in each vassal state?"
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly. He was indeed puzzled by this question. He had also suspected that the empires had ulterior motives for doing this.
"Because the Snow Domain Grand Competition is not just a single battle. It is divided into several stages. In these stages, those with true potential and talent can obtain their own opportunities, break through in strength, and reach a higher level. There have even been people in the Snow Domain Grand Competition who continuously broke through, steadily standing on the final battle stage of the competition. What they relied on was not only the strength they had from the beginning but also their terrifying talent."
Yun Feiyang said again. Lin Feng's doubts, however, grew stronger. He was not familiar with the rules of the Snow Domain Grand Competition.
"Don't worry. When the time comes, you will naturally understand everything. With your talent, your cultivation will surely take another step forward." Yun Feiyang said with a smile. Lin Feng looked at Yun Feiyang, a hint of deep meaning in his eyes. "You seem to know a lot."
Yun Feiyang had suddenly appeared in Snow Moon Kingdom, coming from Broken Blade City, rising to prominence on the Xiang River. Moreover, he always managed to surprise others. Just like the recent battle in the imperial city of Dragon Mountain Empire, Yun Feiyang had easily defeated a Fifth Layer of Profound Martial Realm cultivator. Now, with his cultivation advancing further, his combat power was even stronger. What surprised Lin Feng even more was that Yun Feiyang seemed to know many things that he himself did not.
Even about this Snow Domain Grand Competition, Yun Feiyang seemed to understand it well.
"Lin Feng, this Snow Domain Mysterious City is said to be even more ancient than the Snow Domain itself. Let's the three of us take a walk."
"Alright."
Lin Feng nodded slightly. The three of them strolled together through the ancient city, breathing in the air of the Snow Domain Mysterious City. Lin Feng felt an indescribable comfort throughout his body.
"Brother, the heaven and earth Yuan Qi in this city is richer."
Xiao Ya, who was beside Lin Feng, said. Lin Feng and Yun Feiyang both nodded slightly. The heaven and earth Yuan Qi contained in the air of this city was indeed richer than in Dragon Mountain Empire and Snow Moon Kingdom. It was quite magical, but it was a fact. In the Mysterious City, the speed of cultivation would be faster than in Dragon Mountain Empire and Snow Moon Kingdom.
A light flashed, and a gourd appeared in Lin Feng's hand. He opened the mouth of the gourd and took a large gulp of wine. Immediately, a surge of flame power crazily churned within his body, causing his true Yuan power to go wild again. Lin Feng's slightly sallow face reddened even more.
"This wine is still so strong." Lin Feng chuckled and took three gulps in a row. He said to Yun Feiyang with a smile, "Want a few jugs too?"
"No need. This wine is useful to you. I won't take what you enjoy."
Yun Feiyang shook his head with a smile. Since Lin Feng had asked Tang Youyou for this wine, Yun Feiyang didn't think Lin Feng just wanted to drink it for the sake of drinking. Perhaps it had something to do with Lin Feng's disappearance a few days ago. Of course, that was Lin Feng's business, and Yun Feiyang wouldn't pry.
"Giddyap, giddyap..."
"Get out of the way!"
At this moment, a voice came from far behind them. Lin Feng and Yun Feiyang turned around. They saw dust flying as a fine horse galloped wildly down the main road, kicking up clouds of dust wherever it went.
On this horse sat a woman draped in fiery red clothes. Her garments fluttered as she cracked her whip, looking heroic and spirited.
"Scram!"
A cold shout rang out. One person failed to dodge in time, and the woman directly lashed out with her whip. The long whip, crackling with flames, struck the person, tearing open his flesh. The man screamed in agony as his body was sent flying.
"Brother, this woman is so domineering and rude."
Xiao Ya, seeing this, said with displeasure. This woman in red was going too far.
Lin Feng was speechless. This woman was indeed excessive. But the world was vast, and killing and taking lives were common occurrences. The world of martial arts was just this cruel.
This woman's cultivation was not weak; she was at the Profound Martial Realm. Moreover, there were riders following behind her, indicating that she had a certain family background and status.
"How dare you!"
A rebuking shout came. The fiery red steed galloped forward, and the long whip, wreathed in flames, shot directly towards Xiao Ya's body. If that whip struck Xiao Ya, she would surely be severely injured.
This woman had clearly heard Xiao Ya calling her domineering and rude just now.
Seeing the fiery red whip flying towards them, a cold gleam flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He took a step forward, blocking Xiao Ya's path.
