Chapter 622: Insult
On Di Long's body, true essence roared, his fist shot out like his Overlord Spear, as if trying to pierce through Lin Feng's body.
"Not good."
Seeing Di Long sneak-attack Lin Feng, who was cultivating, Han Man and the others on the Stone Pillar Peak changed expression drastically, their eyes turning red in an instant as they stared at Di Long's fist. What a despicable bastard.
Xue Wuchang's brow also twitched. He had already called for a halt, yet someone still dared to launch a sudden killing strike. Such audacity.
"Stop!"
A furious roar pressed down from the sky, its pressure piercing through layers of space as it descended. But the distance between him and Di Long was too great. Though this roar carried immense pressure, it could not suppress Di Long's attack.
Di Long's face twisted with ferocity. Since he had already made his move, he might as well kill Lin Feng.
Not far away, Yu Mo watched this scene with an amused smile curling at the corner of his mouth. This Di Long had quite the nerve, daring to ambush Lin Feng.
Many eyes were fixed on Di Long's fist.
"Boom!"
The terrifying fist finally landed on Lin Feng's body, stirring up a violent gale. Lin Feng's clothes were instantly torn to shreds. He let out a muffled groan, his body trembling slightly.
"Hm?"
Di Long's brow furrowed. What was going on? When his fist struck Lin Feng's body, it felt like hitting steel. The fist force, infused with the sharp essence of a spear, could not penetrate Lin Feng's body.
The crowd was also stunned. Di Long's ferocious punch seemed unable to harm Lin Feng.
Then, Lin Feng, who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was incredibly sharp, his pupils filled with sword intent. He turned abruptly, fixing his eyes on Di Long, who felt a surging sword intent ravaging his body, as if it would tear him apart. Di Long's face changed dramatically.
What was happening? How could Lin Feng possess such terrifying sword intent?
"Die!"
Lin Feng roared, and a rolling sword intent howled forth. Di Long felt as if thousands of swords were simultaneously stabbing at him, his face contorting in horror. Then, boundless true essence erupted from Lin Feng's body, transforming into countless swords, sharp and deadly.
"Swish, swish..." The terrifying swords instantly pierced into Di Long's body, causing him to shudder violently. His body floated in the air, his twisted eyes staring fixedly at Lin Feng.
How could Lin Feng be this strong?
"Boom!"
The endless swords that had rushed into Di Long's body directly tore him apart. In an instant, Di Long's body turned to nothing, annihilated in the void.
The crowd stared at this scene in shock. Di Long had ambushed Lin Feng, who was at the Fifth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm, but in the end, Lin Feng was unharmed, while Di Long's body was torn apart and killed.
"The temple. It must be the temple."
Many were stunned. Lin Feng must have obtained power from the temple to become so strong.
"Brother Feng is even stronger now," Han Man said, his face full of joy as he glanced at Po Jun. Po Jun nodded. Indeed, Lin Feng was far stronger than before, growing at an astonishing speed.
But not far from them, Yu Liushui's expression was far from pleasant. Having witnessed Lin Feng kill Yu Qin and Yu Jian in the Fallen Demon Domain, he was itching to strike Lin Feng down himself. Seeing Lin Feng's strength increase, how could he be happy?
"Sixty-eight people left."
Seeing Di Long killed, the crowd's eyes hardened. Now, only sixty-eight geniuses remained.
"Alright, the first round of this Snow Domain Grand Competition is over. The second round will determine the ranking positions for the final battle. If you rank high, you'll face those ranked lower, and vice versa. If you rank low, you'll first face the strong ones at the top. You need to handle this round well. Also, I'll give you one day to rest. At this time tomorrow, meet at the Flood Dragon Grotto."
Xue Wuchang announced to the crowd, then his body soared into the air and left the area.
"Boom!"
A figure shot up from the ground, radiating intense, domineering energy. It was none other than Cangtian Xuedi's mausoleum. He directly landed on the peak of a main mountain, sat down cross-legged, and seemed to ignore everyone else.
Yu Mo glanced toward Lin Feng, his gaze carrying a cold intent as he spat out a voice.
"In the next two rounds, you'd better not run into me."
With that, his body also rose into the air, his sharp killing intent extremely fierce.
Lin Feng stared at Yu Mo's retreating figure, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Yu Mo was indeed a threat to him.
It seemed he would have to make good use of this one day to thoroughly comprehend the Buddha-Demon Epoch and the Sky-Severing Sword in his mind.
Two figures flickered toward Lin Feng. Tang Youyou's face was still as elegant as ever. Only when she saw Lin Feng did a rare, faint smile appear on her face. "Got it?"
"Mm," Lin Feng nodded, then asked Tang Youyou, "And you?"
"Same." Tang Youyou revealed a smile. Both of them had seized the opportunity to enter the temple.
"It seems you both got good things," a hearty laugh came from Jun Moxi as he looked at Lin Feng and Tang Youyou. The two seemed to have developed a certain tacit understanding, as if their relationship had grown closer.
Lin Feng and Tang Youyou exchanged a smile, then Lin Feng turned to Jun Moxi. "What about you? How did you fare?"
"Barely. I got eight cultivation seeds, but unfortunately, I didn't use them all to open the final treasure. Instead, I opened several different things," Jun Moxi said, shaking his head slightly, as if somewhat regretful. But this was normal; most people probably did the same. Lin Feng had tried to gather seven cultivation seeds at once to enter the temple, but he had encountered considerable danger. Without Tang Youyou's help, it would have been too difficult.
"Alright. It seems that in this Snow Domain Grand Competition, our Dragon Mountain Empire's results won't be bad," Jun Moxi said with a laugh, then his body shot into the air and disappeared in an instant.
"See you tomorrow," Tang Youyou said to Lin Feng, then her body gracefully rose and drifted away into the distance.
Lin Feng stamped his foot on the ground, his body leaping into the air, heading toward the Stone Pillar Peak.
From a distance, Lin Feng saw two extra figures beside Xiao Ya and was momentarily stunned. Then a smile appeared in his eyes.
Sturdy bodies, bronze masks, an aura of iron-bloodedness—how could Lin Feng not know who they were?
"How did you two get here?" Lin Feng landed on the Stone Pillar Peak and asked the two. Their eyes lit up with joy. It really was Lin Feng.
"We heard you were participating in the Snow Domain Grand Competition, so we came to watch," Han Man said, stepping forward and bumping into Lin Feng.
Lin Feng extended his fist and lightly punched Han Man in the chest. "More solid now. Second Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm. Not bad."
"Hehe," Han Man grinned, showing his teeth. "Still far behind you."
Lin Feng shook his head slightly, then slowly turned his gaze, landing on Yu Liushui beside him. His eyes gradually turned cold.
The moment he stepped onto the Stone Pillar Peak, he had sensed the chilling aura emanating from Yu Liushui, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Brother Feng, that old bastard tried to make a move on Xiao Ya and us earlier," Han Man said coldly, staring at Yu Liushui.
"Could you see everything that happened inside?" Lin Feng asked.
When Han Man nodded and said, "At first, we could. But after the Fallen Demon Domain shook, we couldn't see anymore," Lin Feng realized he had been careless. Killing Yu Qin and Yu Jian in the Fallen Demon Domain had been witnessed by Yu Liushui, nearly putting Xiao Ya in danger.
"Who are you calling?" Yu Liushui stepped forward, staring coldly at Han Man and the others. How dare they call him an old bastard?
"Old dog, remember this—I will kill you with my own hands," Lin Feng said, his slightly sallow face carrying a hint of sinister defiance, causing Yu Liushui's eyes to freeze. He almost erupted in rage. Lin Feng had called him an old dog?
"Just wait," Lin Feng said, disregarding Yu Liushui's glare. This master of the Yu family was merely an ordinary Eighth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm. As long as he comprehended two more memories and his cultivation level increased a bit, killing Yu Liushui would not be difficult.
Once the Snow Domain Grand Competition was over, Lin Feng was confident he could kill Yu Liushui. When he returned to Snow Moon, it would be the end for the Yu family, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and the others.
And those people from the Tian Feng Kingdom—Lin Feng remembered them too.
