# Chapter 637: One Dead, One Escaped
"How is this possible? How could this be?"
The Third Envoy was baffled, as were the other two of the Seven Envoys of Heavenly Wind, and even the experts from the Heavenly Wind Kingdom who had followed them could not understand.
Lin Feng, with his cultivation at the Fifth Layer of Profound Martial Realm, had a powerful physical body. However, the Third Envoy's cultivation was at the Sixth Layer of Profound Martial Realm. Using the Myriad Elephant Force to trample everything, even a Seventh Layer or even Eighth Layer Profound Martial Realm cultivator relying purely on their physical body to withstand it would not be able to endure; they would be destroyed by this Myriad Elephant power.
But Lin Feng had forcefully endured it, standing as immovable as a mountain, his gaze perfectly calm. Just how powerful was his physical body?
A body tempered by six thousand three hundred Buddha-Demon forces, further enlightened in the Buddha-Demon Body, with the Indestructible Golden Body making his physique even more condensed and powerful — Lin Feng himself did not know how strong his body was.
He only knew that the Third Envoy's power was not enough; this level of cultivation was still too weak.
"Is this all the strength you have?"
Lin Feng's calm gaze fell upon the Third Envoy, causing the latter's expression to stiffen. Was this all the strength he had?
"If I am a waste, then what are you?" Lin Feng asked again. The Third Envoy could not answer. He had used all his power, gathering the Myriad Elephant Force to suppress everything, attacking Lin Feng, yet he could not shake Lin Feng in the slightest. How could this battle continue?
If Lin Feng was a waste, then what was he? He could not even move Lin Feng when allowed to attack freely — he was far worse than a waste.
"Participating in the Snow Domain Grand Competition is a kind of glory. Moreover, one can receive gifts from the Divine Palace, perhaps allowing one to advance in cultivation and become even stronger." Lin Feng spoke slowly, causing the Third Envoy's eyes to freeze. What did Lin Feng mean by saying this?
"Unfortunately, you will not enjoy this glory. Your hope of improving your cultivation is nothing but a delusion. Now, I will take your life."
Lin Feng spoke slowly, causing the Third Envoy's heart to tremble violently. Lin Feng was going to take his life, to kill him!
A bare palm clamped down on his shoulder. The Third Envoy tried to break free, but found the strength of that hand astonishingly great; he simply could not escape.
Scorching flames ignited within that palm, spreading along the Third Envoy's body. In an instant, under the Third Envoy's extremely terrified expression, he was enveloped by the light of flames, burning up within the fire.
"Taking your life. The flame is punishment for your ignorance and cold-heartedness."
Lin Feng slowly released his hand. Screams came from the Third Envoy's mouth. He desperately tried to extinguish the flames, but it was useless. The fire seemed to cling to his body, continuously burning him, causing him to roll on the ground until he was burned to nothingness, vanishing without a trace.
Killed!
The crowd's eyes all focused. Killed. Lin Feng had used flames to incinerate the Third Envoy. In this first battle, another genius had died. This round of combat was proving to be so exciting.
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura surged toward Lin Feng. Lin Feng slowly turned his gaze, looking down at the crowd below the battle platform, toward the middle-aged man from the Heavenly Wind Kingdom.
"How dare you kill him!"
"Idiot."
Lin Feng muttered softly, then turned around, ignoring the man's gaze, stepping back onto the Dragon Flood Cavern and returning to his original position.
The people of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom had always wanted him dead. Before he had changed his appearance, he had almost been ambushed and killed by their experts. After changing his appearance, they had doggedly pursued him, wanting his life. They had said that if they met him on the stage of the Snow Domain Grand Competition, they would kill him first, Lin Feng. And indeed, the Third Envoy had done exactly that.
But now, this ridiculous middle-aged man actually uttered such foolish words as "How dare you kill him."
Idiot?
The expert from the Myriad Elephant Sect of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom stood there frozen, wishing he could slice Lin Feng into a thousand pieces.
"Alright, prepare for the second battle." At this moment, Xue Wuchang spoke. His gaze fell upon Tang Youyou.
Tang Youyou stepped forward, onto the battle platform, without any hesitation. She raised her hand and pointed at the Second Envoy of Heavenly Wind, ranked forty-third.
"You."
Tang Youyou said indifferently, causing the Second Envoy's expression to stiffen, extremely ugly.
Retaliation. Tang Youyou was helping Lin Feng, deliberately choosing him to kill him.
Unlike Lin Feng, although the crowd was also surprised that Tang Youyou had obtained the second jade key, her cultivation at the peak of the Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm was clearly displayed. Not to mention the Second Envoy, even the First Envoy, Nie Yun, was probably no match for her.
The middle-aged man who had not yet sat down also froze. The Second Envoy was finished.
What was happening here?
Of the Seven Envoys of Heavenly Wind, soon only Nie Yun would remain? Since Tang Youyou was acquainted with Lin Feng, she obviously would not let the Second Envoy off.
"Arrogant?"
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. Seeing the middle-aged man's stiff expression, he found that Tang Youyou actually had an adorable side to her.
"If you are afraid, you can forfeit. However, your glory and rewards will be stripped away."
Seeing the Second Envoy not moving, Xue Wuchang spoke indifferently, causing the Second Envoy's eyes to freeze.
If he did not even dare to fight, what glory was there to speak of? It would only be shame.
But Tang Youyou was clearly aiming to take his life. If he agreed to fight, he might face death.
His heart was caught in intense struggle. After a moment, the Second Envoy finally spoke: "I forfeit!"
As his words fell, the Second Envoy felt all his strength drain away, his expression extremely ugly.
Participating in the Snow Domain Grand Competition was such an honor. Returning to the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, he could have proudly told others about it. But now, he had forfeited. Would he go back and tell others that during the final battle of the Snow Domain Grand Competition, he had been too afraid to fight?
The glory of the Snow Domain Grand Competition would have nothing to do with him.
"Forfeit? Then get lost." A look of contempt appeared in Xue Wuchang's eyes. To have made it to this final battle stage was no easy feat, yet this man had given up because of cowardice and fear.
Hearing Xue Wuchang's words, the Second Envoy's expression grew even uglier. Contempt. He felt that everyone was looking at him differently. The sense of humiliation was so intense.
Lifting his feet, the Second Envoy's figure flickered, no longer having the face to stay here.
Lin Feng watched the Second Envoy leave in disgrace, his expression calm. When they had been so arrogant and overbearing, had they not considered that this situation might occur?
Tang Youyou stepped forward and returned to Lin Feng's side.
In the first battle, one person died.
In the second battle, one person fled.
This outcome was indeed unexpected.
In the third battle, Imperial Mausoleum stepped forward. He casually chose an opponent and sent him flying with a single punch.
The next dozen or so battles were all the same. The eight great geniuses, in this round of combat, could not even show how powerful they truly were. They resolved their respective opponents with ease.
The ones Lin Feng was paying more attention to, Yue Tianming and Wu Qing, both won as well.
The two of them had both advanced in cultivation, stepping into the Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm, a full realm higher than when they had first entered the Dragon Mountain Empire. This made Yue Qingshan and Teng Wuyao very gratified, with thick smiles on their faces. Their gazes even occasionally clashed, as if this competition between juniors was a battle between them.
Yue Qingshan always believed that Yue Tianming was stronger than Wu Qing, and that his grandson would soon surpass him, needing only a few short years.
But Teng Wuyao also firmly believed that Wu Qing could now fight on par with Yue Tianming, or even surpass him.
But Lin Feng did not care about any of this. He only knew that both Wu Qing and Yue Tianming would fall to his hands.
The person who had obtained the twenty-eighth ranked jade key stepped onto the battle platform. The opponent he chose was Yun Feiyang.
Lin Feng glanced at Yun Feiyang beside him. This expert ranked twenty-eighth was already a Seventh Layer Profound Martial Realm cultivator. The first two rounds, though they had caused many geniuses to die, had truly selected the elites. A Seventh Layer Profound Martial Realm cultivator, if placed in the Snow Moon Kingdom, would be a highly respected senior. But here, he was only ranked twenty-eighth, and all of these people were youths.
Yun Feiyang, with his current strength, was only at the Sixth Layer of Profound Martial Realm. He had only broken through after coming out of the Fallen Demon Domain during the first round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition. He must have encountered some opportunity. Previously, his cultivation had been at the Fifth Layer of Profound Martial Realm.
He wondered if Yun Feiyang would bring him another surprise.
At this moment, Yun Feiyang poured a flask of hidden wine into his mouth, then very calmly stepped forward onto the battle platform.
Yun Feiyang did not seem to have any fear in his heart!
