Chapter 797: Group Battle
Everyone's expressions were extremely grim. Huangfu Long, having undergone the bloodline baptism and seized a rare treasure, had swung his axe with such force that it seemed heaven and earth would split apart. Nothing could withstand it. Phantom images of true dragons roared wildly, pouncing on one person and shaking them to death on the spot, reducing them to nothingness. It was too formidable.
"Let's go." Some, realizing there was no hope, immediately gave up. Instead of continuing to fight for the treasure, they decided to try their luck elsewhere.
Soon, figures flickered and vanished from the desert. Lin Feng's lineup was too powerful; they simply couldn't contend with it.
"Hehe." Huangfu Long chuckled, a hint of pride in his voice. The feeling of splitting a genius with one axe and forcing everyone else to retreat was rather satisfying, it seemed.
Those who remained now were a few disciples of Heavenly Lake, such as Tianchi Xue. Huangfu Long glanced at Tianchi Xue, but his gaze was now much calmer, devoid of the former fervor and infatuation. Perhaps, as Lin Feng had said, Tianchi Xue wasn't right for him. She was aloof, unreasonable, and looked down on him. His one-sided affection was meaningless. He had already severed that emotional bond.
Seeing Huangfu Long's indifferent gaze, Tianchi Xue's heart only grew more complicated.
"It seems I'm not needed here either. I'll take my leave." Yu Tianji said calmly, taking a step forward. Starlight flickered, and he directly left the area.
Three Venerable Mansions had already appeared. Now, he could consult the stars to lock onto the fourth Venerable Mansion and obtain the inheritance that belonged to him.
Although he had lost to Lin Feng in that battle and Lin Feng had become the leader, Yu Tianji would not admit defeat so easily. He would definitely defeat Lin Feng again and reclaim the position of leader. The revival and strengthening of the Heavenly Pivot Peak, while his Heavenly Dipper Peak stood unshaken, remaining the main peak among the seven great snow peaks of Heavenly Lake—that would certainly be the best outcome.
"This bloodline baptism can strengthen your physical body. Why refuse it?" Huangfu Long called out to Yu Tianji. That guy was also a proud man.
"No need. Powerful physical strength is not the power I seek." Yu Tianji's indifferent voice drifted back as his figure gradually faded into the distance until he disappeared.
Lin Feng continued to undergo the tempering of the blood pool. Meanwhile, in the distance, several figures flickered toward them. Among them was one draped in a gray robe—it was Duan Wuya, who had returned.
But now, Duan Wuya was accompanied by four others. Among them were Di Ling, who had been with him at the East Sea Dragon Palace, and a burly young man draped in a purple-gold dragon robe. This man's status in the East Sea Dragon Palace was extremely noble—he was Ao Jiao, the son of the Purple-Gold Dragon King, one of the Four Dragon Kings. He was the leader of the younger generation of the East Sea Dragon Palace entering the secret realm.
Besides Di Ling and Ao Jiao, there were two others. One was Duan Wuya's brother, the former Snow Moon Crown Prince, Duan Wudao.
Beside Duan Wudao stood another man wearing a crown, exuding an air of imperial authority. This man was Huang Feng, the leader of the younger generation of the Jade Heaven Royal Clan. Duan Wudao had entered the Jade Heaven Royal Clan and received great attention and focused cultivation. But although Duan Wudao was a rough gem, the time for polishing was still too short. The experts of the Jade Heaven Royal Clan had him interact with Huang Feng, hoping to train him into a capable assistant for their leader.
The five of them were all extremely powerful. They came together, stepping onto this desert land.
"Are you sure what you said is true?" Huang Feng looked at Duan Wuya, his demeanor carrying the arrogance of an emperor, as if he were born to be a sovereign.
"Even if I were to deceive you, I wouldn't dare deceive my elder brother, would I?" Duan Wuya said with a faint smile. Hearing this, Duan Wudao remained expressionless. Elder brother? That was a joke. His younger brother had deceived him thoroughly, hiding his true nature too deeply.
Huang Feng neither confirmed nor denied. If what Duan Wuya said was true, then he definitely had to make this trip. They hadn't found the Emperor's tomb, but four Supreme Venerable Mansions were also quite good. If he could obtain those treasures, his strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
"We're almost there. Take a look." Duan Wuya pointed to a distant place. Huang Feng and the others looked up, and their gazes immediately froze. Indeed, the sand was flying everywhere, and the blood energy was powerful. It seemed Duan Wuya hadn't deceived them.
"Let's go." The five of them quickened their pace, flashing rapidly toward that space. When they arrived before the swirling yellow sand, there were almost no one else around. Only in the void were four people guarding the blood pool on the ground. The blood pool deep in the desert emitted a heart-shaking, powerful aura—this was the power of bloodline.
"Dragon Axe, Ancient Bell, Golden Long Robe." These people swept their gazes over the items in the hands of those in the void, their pupils contracting. This time, they truly believed Duan Wuya's words. These treasures were all extremely formidable, radiating a chilling aura. Excitement gleamed in all their eyes.
"That Golden Long Robe, I want it." Huang Feng pointed at the robe draped over Jun Moxi. A noble robe should match him, a member of the Jade Heaven Royal Clan.
"That battle axe is mine." Ao Jiao's eyes were fixed on the enormous dragon axe in Huangfu Long's hands, filled entirely with greed. The moment he saw that axe, he fell in love with it. It must be a weapon bestowed upon him by heaven.
"Everyone, their strength is extremely formidable, and with these rare treasures on them, they are even more powerful. I know you are all very strong too, but you should still be cautious. My strength is low, so I cannot participate. I wish you all success in obtaining the treasures you desire."
Duan Wuya cupped his hands toward the group and said with a smile.
The others nodded casually. At this moment, they had no mood to pay attention to Duan Wuya. All their focus was on those powerful weapons.
Only Duan Wudao cast a deep glance at Duan Wuya, then watched as Duan Wuya's figure retreated and quietly left, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.
Lin Feng had already emerged from the blood pool. He saw the arriving group at a glance. He naturally recognized Di Ling, Duan Wudao, and Duan Wuya. As for the other two, they had extraordinary bearing—one wore a purple-gold dragon robe, and the other exuded imperial aura. They were likely the leaders of the East Sea Dragon Palace and the Jade Heaven Royal Clan.
"What a treacherous bastard." Lin Feng swept his gaze over the retreating Duan Wuya, his eyes cold. This man was too insidious and cunning, deliberately luring people here to make them fight among themselves.
Di Ling and Duan Wudao's eyes immediately locked onto Lin Feng, their gazes burning with intense battle intent. In the past, during the Snow Domain Grand Competition, Lin Feng had defeated both of them. They remembered it vividly and had always wanted to fight Lin Feng again.
"Hand over the items." Huang Feng swept his gaze over Lin Feng and the others, speaking in a tone that brooked no argument.
Lin Feng looked at Huang Feng and smiled faintly. "Jade Heaven Royal Clan, East Sea Dragon Palace."
In the past, in the Snow Moon Kingdom, people from the Jade Heaven Royal Clan and the East Sea Dragon Palace had both participated in that massacre. Lin Feng would not forget.
He glanced around. Right now, there were four of them: himself, Jun Moxi, Yun Feiyang, and Huangfu Long. As for Tang Youyou, she was currently in the blood pool, undergoing its tempering.
Four against four. How could he fear them? Besides himself, Jun Moxi and the other two all had treasures in hand.
"If you want the treasures, come and take them." A cold voice came from his mouth. Since these people had come looking for trouble, there was no need to be polite.
"That robe is mine for sure." Huang Feng took a step forward, imperial aura soaring into the sky, and he charged directly at Jun Moxi.
"That battle axe is mine." Ao Jiao soared into the air with domineering momentum, like a roaring flood dragon. His body pounced toward Huangfu Long. He wanted the Dragon Battle Axe.
Di Ling and Duan Wudao both looked at Lin Feng, their battle intent burning.
"He's mine." Di Ling took a step forward, flashing toward Lin Feng. The will of the heavens surged into the clouds.
"Hmph." Duan Wudao snorted coldly and also stepped toward Lin Feng. He too wanted to fight Lin Feng.
"If you can take their lives, don't hold back." Lin Feng uttered an icy voice, taking a step forward. Sword energy soared into the sky. In the void, the Sixfold Sword Dao Will permeated the entire space, filling it with endless sword aura.
"Sixfold Will." Duan Wudao and Di Ling's eyes stiffened. They hadn't expected Lin Feng to have already reached such a level. It seemed this would be a fierce battle.
"Do you need me to step in?" Among the four, Yun Feiyang remained unmoved. No one was fighting him.
"No need. You hold the line. If there's an opportunity to kill them, seize it." Lin Feng said calmly, his entire body radiating terrifying sword intent. He intended to fight Di Ling and Duan Wudao alone!
