Chapter 733: Battling a Venerable One
His demonic-glowing eyes locked onto the green-robed man, the icy killing intent still sweeping wildly. The cat demon, which had transformed into a beast form, poked its head out from the green-robed man’s embrace. Its sparkling eyes held a hint of eerie mockery, as if sneering at Lin Feng: Lin Feng, it’s over.
Tang Youyou finally followed in as well. When she saw the cat demon lying quietly in the green-robed man’s arms, her body couldn’t help but tremble violently.
The cat demon was a Heavenly Demon, yet now it was lying in the green-robed man’s arms like a pet. What did this mean? It meant that this green-robed man was far stronger than the cat demon, likely a mid-rank or even high-rank Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouse. If such a terrifying existence was real, then Lin Feng was in grave danger.
“Such heavy demonic energy.” A low voice rang out as the green-robed man’s closed eyes slowly opened. A flash of green light passed through his gaze, colliding directly with the demonic light radiating from Lin Feng’s eyes—sharp and unrivaled. Even though the newcomer was shrouded in terrifying demonic intent, he showed no reaction.
“And Snow Linglong.” A faint smile curled at the corner of his lips, the green-robed man’s gaze tinged with greed. A fearsome demonic sword and the fox immortal Snow Linglong—how wonderful.
“Little cat, you’ve finally done one thing right this time,” the green-robed man said softly, stroking the fur of the cat demon in his arms.
“Meow!” The cat demon seemed to be seeking credit, letting out a low sound toward the green-robed man before nuzzling deeper into his embrace.
“Don’t worry. As long as you behave, I’ll make you a truly powerful demon,” the green-robed man said, as if understanding the cat demon’s meaning. He slowly rose to his feet. In an instant, a terrifying aura enveloped the entire hall. Tang Youyou’s body stiffened slightly, feeling as if she were trapped in quicksand, barely able to move.
A look of horror gradually spread across her face as she stared at the green-robed man, too shocked to speak.
Was this merely the power of will? She felt as if she were facing the same Venerable One who had lectured them at the Divine Palace that day.
“Venerable One!” she murmured to herself, her heart skipping a beat at her own guess. If it really was a Venerable One, was there still hope for Lin Feng?
“You’re quite perceptive, little girl,” the green-robed man said, glancing casually at Tang Youyou. His voice made her body jolt. It really was a Venerable One!
“Senior, we intruded unintentionally. Please forgive us,” Tang Youyou said, bowing slightly to the green-robed man. A Venerable One was not someone they could afford to provoke—too terrifying.
“You may leave. I won’t trouble you, little girl,” the green-robed man said softly. But Tang Youyou’s body froze as she pointed at Lin Feng and asked, “But what about him?”
“His demonic intent is too heavy; he’s on the verge of falling into demonhood. I’ll kill him for you, so he won’t harm you. Isn’t that better?” the green-robed man said with a smile. As a Venerable One, he could naturally sense the terror of the demonic sword in Lin Feng’s hand. Its former master had likely been even stronger than him, and Lin Feng couldn’t unleash its true power. If he were to control it…
And then there was the fox immortal Snow Linglong. How could he let such a rare and precious demon beast slip away? If he obtained her, he could one day devour the essence of the sun and moon.
“Senior, he…” Tang Youyou tried to argue, but Lin Feng turned his gaze toward her. His icy eyes locked onto her as he coldly barked, “Get out.”
Seeing the coldness in Lin Feng’s eyes, Tang Youyou’s body stiffened. But Lin Feng took a step forward, and a terrifying force descended upon her.
A fearsome demonic palm strike slammed directly into Tang Youyou, sending her flying outward. Blood sprayed from her mouth.
Turning around, Lin Feng’s demonic light blazed even brighter as he faced the green-robed man.
“It seems you haven’t completely fallen into demonhood yet—you still retain some humanity,” the green-robed man remarked casually. He understood the meaning behind Lin Feng’s palm strike.
Lin Feng ignored his words, lowering his head to glance at Snow Linglong on his shoulder. Softly, he said, “Meng Qing, if I fall into demonhood, you should leave.”
“Wuwu!” Snow Linglong shook her head frantically, clinging tightly to Lin Feng’s shoulder as if afraid he would drive her away like he had Tang Youyou.
Lin Feng turned his gaze back to the green-robed man. When he looked at him again, his eyes were filled with terrifying demonic light. He released his mind and let go of his resisting will. Surging demonic energy grew stronger, devouring his consciousness. The demonic sword in his hand trembled wildly, and the terrifying demonic aura enveloped the entire cave dwelling. The cave walls cracked and groaned, split apart by sword energy.
“Hmm?” The green-robed man’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Lin Feng. Now, Lin Feng’s eyes were pitch-black and deep, radiating only endless demonic intent. He had become like a sword—no longer a man, but a blade.
“Falling into demonhood—you’re courting death,” the green-robed man coldly shouted. Lin Feng was about to completely sink into the demonic path, letting the demonic sword become the master.
The power of the demonic sword was immeasurable; its former master might have surpassed the Venerable Realm. If the demonic sword became the absolute ruler, the power it unleashed would be earth-shattering. Of course, Lin Feng’s body might also burst apart from the pressure.
With a flick of his palm, a terrifying sealing force locked down the entire space. Lin Feng’s body seemed to freeze in place. It was the same sealing power, but used by this Venerable One, it was countless times stronger than when Duan Wudao, the Human Emperor, had used it. With a mere thought, the space was sealed.
“Swish, swish, swish, swish…” Terrifying sword beams erupted with fierce demonic light. The demonic sword split into nine, howling wildly through the space, piercing through the seal. Then the nine swords merged, emitting a rumbling sound as they stabbed toward the green-robed man.
At this moment, it was no longer Lin Feng controlling the demonic sword—the sword itself was roaring.
“Rumble!” Fearsome sword energy tore through the cave dwelling. Rocks shattered and collapsed into the cave.
The green-robed man let out a cold shout. With a flick of his palm, a green light ring appeared before him, radiating sealing power to envelop the demonic sword.
“Sss!” The demonic sword pierced through the green light and continued charging toward the green-robed man, causing his eyes to narrow. This demonic sword was indeed terrifying. Previously restrained by Lin Feng, it couldn’t unleash its power. But now, with the sword as the master, it was truly displaying its fearsome might.
Raising both palms, two streams of green light pressed down on the demonic sword. The green-robed man roared, “Go back!”
The green light exploded, and a tremendous force pushed the demonic sword backward. Lin Feng took a step forward, his hand grabbing the sword. Man and sword seemed to merge into one, transforming into a black blade that stabbed toward the green-robed man once more. At this moment, Lin Feng was like a sword, fused with the demonic blade.
“Man and sword as one—Sword Dao Will. No wonder the demonic sword chose you as its host,” the green-robed man shouted in fury. A terrifying force pressed down on the sword. Countless blades seemed to materialize in the air, stabbing outward. The cracking sounds grew louder as rocks shattered even more violently.
“Boom!” The green-robed man shot into the sky, the demonic sword closely following, breaking through everything. The entire mountain was collapsing wildly. By the time the two and the sword—or rather, one man and one sword—burst out of the mountain, the peak was trembling violently, crumbling apart.
In the void, two figures and one sword—or rather, one man and one sword—stood. Lin Feng had become the sword, merged with the demonic blade. The heavens roared, demonic clouds rolled wildly, and endless sword energy shot toward the green-robed man.
The man waved his hands, and the entire sky was enveloped in green light, as if everything had come to a standstill.
“Even if you go mad, you’ll still die,” the green-robed man said coldly, stepping forward and stomping directly toward the demonic sword. If Lin Feng’s cultivation were at the high-rank Heavenly Martial Realm, merging with the demonic sword might pose a threat to him. But now, Lin Feng’s body was too weak, and the demonic sword was instead held back by him, unable to unleash its true demonic power.
The green light fiercely compressed the demonic sword and Lin Feng’s body. That terrifying force rendered Lin Feng immobile—too strong. A Venerable Martial Realm expert was not something he could resist even by falling into demonhood.
A flash of light appeared in the void: a black stone, rapidly expanding until it transformed into a stele.
On the stele were two clear characters: Seal Demon!
This stele was the Demon Sealing Stele!
