After having broken through to the Xuan Qi layer, Lin Feng's purple spirit had also changed, it looked even more real than before, it looked like a real ferocious beast.
After appearing, the spirit opened its gigantic mouth and stared at the people with its gigantic eyes. It looked bestial and terrifying.
"Arrghhh..."
At that moment, the dragon had constricted Leng Yue's body and was staring at him with its ferocious eyes. Leng Yue felt a chill run through his body. He then shouted furiously and released fierce blade energy that emitted a whistling sound as it sliced through the air. Leng Yue's body was just like a huge blade, slicing the purple dragon.
"You still want to live?" Said Lin Feng sounding ice-cold, he started rushing towards Leng Yue who was constricted by the purple dragon. In Lin Feng's hand, there was still a black lotus.
"Getaway!" Shouted Leng Yue furiously when he saw Lin Feng's black lotus. He knew how terrifying that black lotus was, it landed on his body, he would burn to death.
However, at that moment, Lin Feng wasn't stopping at all. Initially, he didn't feel like killing Leng Yue but Leng Yue tried to kill him so of course, Lin Feng wasn't going to show any mercy.
Lin Feng raised his hand and was moving nearer to Leng Yue.
"Leng Yue is dead." Thought the crowd when they saw Lin Feng's black lotus. These two both tried to kill Lin Feng but in the end, Leng Yue would be killed by Lin Feng.
"Die." Said Lin Feng evilly.
"Would you dare?" At the moment when Lin Feng was about to kill Leng Yue, an extremely loud voice spread through the air. Then, incredible blade energy filled the atmosphere and surrounded Lin Feng's body. Lin Feng had the feeling that he was inside a sea of blades. Behind him was another cultivator at the Xuan Qi layer, with a blade spirit.
The terrifying blade energy was unleashed in an instant, Lin Feng jumped through the air and at the same time, the light from a blade attack streaked through the sky and cut through the position where Lin Feng was just standing.
"Die!" Another blade light streaked through the air and sliced through the purple spirit which was constricting Leng Yue's body. In a flash, the purple dragon roared and immediately after transformed into a countless number of purple snakes, which moved to Lin Feng's side.
Lin Feng was standing in the air surrounded by a sea of purple snakes and looked down, the man with the blade was walking towards him, he raised his head and looked at Lin Feng. His blade energy had invaded the entire atmosphere.
"We've already met." Said Lin Feng sounding cold and detached.
"Indeed, we've met." Said that person while staring at Lin Feng in the sky, he sounded as cold and detached as he looked at Lin Feng.
That person was precisely the person who had appeared in Celestial River to save Leng Yue. He had even attacked Lin Feng with his blade before leaving. Lin Feng didn't know what status he had to bring Leng Yue to the Imperial Palace.
"Officer, he has tricked you." Said that person while looking at She Qiong. She Qiong was astonished, tricked by Lin Feng?
"What do you mean?" Asked She Qiong while narrowing his eyes.
"When he uses his fire black lotus, he puts all of his Qi into it, when he used his black lotus a moment ago, his Qi would have been completely used up and he should only have recovered a fraction of his Qi in such a short period. Right now, the black lotus is just for show, it's a bluff, nothing more."
That man was looking at She Qiong and said slowly: "Officer, he wouldn't be able to defeat you, therefore, he didn't want to fight against you either. He just put enough pressure on you so that you wouldn't fight."
After hearing that, She Qiong frowned and glared at Lin Feng.
"Impossible…. Impossible…." She Qiong's face turned deathly pale. He didn't feel excited at all after hearing that, it was the opposite, he couldn't stop shaking his head. Had he really been tricked by Lin Feng?
Lin Feng clearly didn't have the strength to fight against him, but relying on his confidence and persuasion, he had managed to scare She Qiong away and crush his pride. How could She Qiong ever look people in the eyes again?
But when thinking about it twice, maybe the man's words were true. Lin Feng only had the strength of the first Xuan Qi layer, using such a monstrous black lotus definitely had side effects. Besides, Lin Feng must have been trying to scare him and impress everyone, Lin Feng hadn't revealed his true colors until now.
"Is that so?" Shouted She Qiong towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at She Qiong as if he wanted to laugh as if the situation was amusing. Indeed, the man was right, he required the entirety of the pure Qi within his body to transform his sun Qi into the grim fire and then condense the grim fire into a black lotus, a moment before, he had already used his black lotus once and it used an incredible amount of pure Qi. Even though he had taken a pill and recovered from his injuries, his pure Qi hadn't returned to normal in such a short space of time.
Concerning the black lotus in his hand at that moment, it was really was just for show, it was basically impossible for him to create a real black lotus right after unleashing one.
Lin Feng walked towards the man while narrowing his eyes. That the man's strength was weaker than that of She Qiong but he had much more experience, which was obvious considering his age. Besides, he had been watching them since the beginning.
She Qiong paid attention to Lin Feng's facial expression and his heart started pounding. The man was right, Lin Feng had clearly consumed too much of his Qi, he couldn't condense a black lotus that would unleash its full power. He couldn't fight against She Qiong, but even when you consider all of this, Lin Feng only used his confidence and persuasion to scare She Qiong away from the fighting, he had scared him and made him move out of the way.
She Qiong looked pale and wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
As far as he was concerned, all of this was becoming more humiliating for him the longer it continued.
"Officer, you are extremely young and have already broken through to the third Xuan Qi layer, you have extremely high natural abilities. Since you want to achieve great things in your life, you must harden yourself and be as determined as ever. You can never allow yourself to stay down, you must welcome difficulty and break free from the mental chains that hold you back. You must have willpower, you need to be determined and tough. All officers must gain experience, it's the only way for them to reach the heavens. After all, there is always someone stronger than you." Said the man slowly while looking at She Qiong.
She Qiong's soul was shaking as if he had just gained enlightenment. He finally understood what the man was telling him. Even though he continued to be knocked down by Lin Feng, he needed to view it as a challenge and get back up, it was a way for him to gain experience and strengthen his determination.
Lin Feng was also looking at the man. That person used a blade, he was a middle-aged man and had already broken through to the second Xuan Qi layer. He didn't have very high natural abilities but his heart was like a blade, silent and determined.
"Thank you for your guidance." Said She Qiong in a polite tone. His eyes weren't filled with hatred anymore at all, instead, his eyes were sparkling with enlightenment. In fact, everything in his life seemed to be happening for a reason. He had extremely high natural abilities and a powerful background. On the path of cultivation, he had never experienced extreme difficulties, even the battles required for him to break through to the next cultivation layer were planned, those people didn't fight with him to the death and made sure not to harm him, when you look at it from that aspect, Leng Yue was stronger than She Qiong.
Leng Yue had gone through many difficulties and fought in a number of battles to the death. That's how he was able to break through to the Xuan Qi layer in such a short time.
Therefore, because of these factors, She Qiong had run away when faced with the threat of death. He was proud, arrogant, but he still lacked experience, real battle experience. Lin Feng only needed to release a slight pressure to scare him away, She Qiong was still very far from being able to achieve something like that.
"Young master, when you're mature, wherever you go, you will be able to adapt." Said the man to She Qiong. This time, he wasn't calling him officer anymore, just, young master.
"From today, I, She Qiong, am leaving my function as an officer in the imperial guard." Said She Qiong calmly. He used to be arrogant because of his station as an officer but what was the point if it was just the title they feared and not him. Could he fight against Lin Feng that way?
She Qiong turned around and looked at Lin Feng: "What has started today is not over, we will meet again."
When he finished talking, She Qiong started walking away, he was surprisingly leaving. He didn't pay attention to Lin Feng and the others and he didn't even spare a glance at Duan Xin Ye. After what had just happened, he could no longer pursue her affection anyway, he wasn't able to protect her.
Many people were astonished when they saw him leave, then, the man also said: "We're leaving too."
"Alright." Said Leng Yue while nodding. He glanced at Lin Feng but then Lin Feng said in an ice-cold tone: "Leaving? I said it already, nobody will save you today."
"Huh?" the crowd was stupefied. They raised their head and looked at Lin Feng, was he really planning to kill Leng Yue?
Was he even still able to kill Leng Yue?
Leng Yue started shaking, the man was also looking at Lin Feng.
"You consumed so much of your Qi already that it's impossible for you to condense another full strength black lotus, you want to keep us here but have you thought clearly about the consequences?"
The man was fixedly staring at Lin Feng. Even though Leng Yue was in a critical position, the man on the other hand, had broken through to the second Xuan Qi layer and it wouldn't be easy for Lin Feng to defeat him.
"I admit that I used up most of my Qi, I wouldn't be able to condense another powerful black lotus like a moment ago but I still have the power to kill Leng Yue. Last time, you managed to stop me by attacking me with your blade, past mistakes cannot be repeated." Said Lin Feng while staring at his interlocutor. Lin Feng slowly raised his which contained his black lotus and said: "Would you… bet your life on it?"
" Would you… bet your life on it?"
That question echoed through the silence of the atmosphere. The crowd looked at Lin Feng, he had confessed that he had used up the majority of his Qi, but then told his interlocutor that he would kill Leng Yue anyway. He then dared to ask the man if he was willing to bet his life on the power of the black lotus, if he didn't intervene, Leng Yue would die, if he tried to stop Lin Feng, then the black lotus would be used against him.
The man was fixedly staring at Lin Feng. Would he gamble with his life at stake? For instance, if Lin Feng was bluffing, then the man would have the opportunity to kill Lin Feng in his weakened state, but if Lin Feng's black lotus was still powerful enough to kill him, then the gamble would cost him his life.
"I admit that you are incredibly gifted, I am thinking that we should put the past behind us and build a bridge of friendship. I could send you to a place where you will have incredible privileges, if you went there, nobody in Xue Yue would dare to bully you ever again." When the crowd heard the man, they were all stupefied, he wanted to send Lin Feng to such an incredible place? The crowd obviously understood what it meant and where that place was. It was a special place filled with countless incredible geniuses.
But Lin Feng didn't feel that the proposition was interesting, nobody would dare to bully him again?
If Lin Feng wasn't mistaken, She Qiong and Leng Yue were also intending to go to that place. If Lin Feng was weaker, then She Qiong would still be able to bully him, however, if he was strong enough, would he need to rely on any external help to protect himself? Who would dare provoke him.
As before, everything was always reliant on personal strength. The weak would inevitably be bullied by the strong, no matter where they were or what their status may be, whereas the strong could oppress and control the weak.
Lin Feng was unrestrained, natural and carefree. He wanted to soar into the heavens and do whatever he wanted, then nobody would dare to humiliate him.
But he also perfectly understood that the world was cruel, the only way to achieve what he wanted was to become incredibly strong, becoming stronger step by step until he reached the heavens. He longed to soar into the heavens more than anything else, he longed to be able to fly beyond the clouds and look down on the world from above.
Just like an incredible hero, he wanted to be able to kill his enemies with a wave of his hand, that way, nobody would ever dare to bully him, if anybody dared, they would die.
Those days, Lin Feng's strength was extremely far from soaring into the heavens, but at least he could already prevent a great number of people from humiliating him.
In Celestial River, Leng Yue had been extremely arrogant and tried to kill him, and now, in the Imperial City, Leng Yue once again made an attempt to kill him, if Lin Feng didn't kill Leng Yue, his heart would never be peaceful. He had to kill Leng Yue so he could rest easy.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested." Replied Lin Feng. He then summoned the purple dragon spirit again, and an incredible purple energy appeared around him, he looked like a ferocious beast.
Lin Feng's refusal astonished the man. Lin Feng wasn't interested… It was the third time that he had ever heard of someone refusing to go to the holy land for cultivators. Eighteen years ago, two other people also refused an invitation, one was the genius Zhuge Wu Qing but the man didn't know name of the other person, all he knew was that cultivator had a dual spirit.
Back then, the man was still young, he hadn't even broken through to the Xuan Qi layer at the time, and wasn't able to go to that place.
Ever since he had access to that holy land, nobody had ever refused an invitation. Everybody wanted to get the chance to go there more than anything… Yet Lin Feng just refused.
Not only did Lin Feng only take a second to decide, but he also started to focus on Leng Yue again while ignoring the man.
Lin Feng moved forward, his body was surrounded by his purple spirit, he raised his hand which contained the black lotus and walked towards Leng Yue.
Leng Yue was shaking, he thought that he had managed to escape by the skin of his teeth, but in the end, Lin Feng was still going to kill him.
Leng Yue looked at the man as he was Leng Yue's last hope, he only hoped that the man would be able to defeat Lin Feng.
The man had told Leng Yue that he was going to become an legendary cultivator in the future, how could his legend end here? He couldn't die!
"Lin Feng, are you sure? Do you know what you just refused? Besides, do you know whom you are trying to kill?" Threatened the man while fixedly staring at Lin Feng.
"I don't know, all I know is that I will kill anyone who tries to kill me." Replied Lin Feng indifferently.
"Do you know the name of the Snow Dragon Guards, the protectors of Xue Yue?" Shouted the man furiously when he saw that Lin Feng was refusing his offer, the man had shouted aggressively and loud enough to frighten anyone, including Lin Feng.
"Snow Dragon Guards?" Lin Feng was astonished, he had never heard of them. He only knew that Liu Cang Lan was the only person protecting Xue Yue for the last decade and in the end, he was sentenced to death for it, in Lin Feng's eyes, the Snow Dragon Guards were nothing but a joke.
What Lin Feng didn't know was that the Snow Dragon Guards were also the most mysterious of all the armies. They were amongst the strongest soldiers in the entire country. The people who were able to become an officer of the Snow Dragon Guards was revered and respected.
"Leng Yue is already set to join the Snow Dragon Guards in the future, if you kill him, you'd kill a recruit of the Snow Dragon Guards." Continued the man when he saw that Lin Feng stopped.
Lin Feng had stopped in the air and was looking at him. His eyes sparkled and his lips moved as he then said: "What do the Snow Dragon Guards have to do with me?"
Then, Lin Feng's purple spirit burst through the air and in a flash, it was already tightly wrapped around Leng Yue, that move had shocked everybody.
What did the Snow Dragon Guards have to do with Lin Feng?
The purple dragon roared, deadly Qi filled the air and the crowd saw spirit start to move. Leng Yue's body was still tied by the purple dragon which lifted him into the air, he was completely unable to move. Lin Feng raised hand which was surrounded by black flames and attacked Leng Yue with all his cruelty.
"Ahhhhh..."
A gut wrenching scream of agony exploded in every direction and painfully pierced into everybody's ears. Black flames had engulfed Leng Yue's body which burned every inch of his flesh.
The purple spirit was still in the air, it was still tying Leng Yue's body but at that moment, there was nothing remaining but ash. Leng Yue was burnt alive, the only thing left of him was the gut wrenching scream which was still echoing through the atmosphere.
Lin Feng was standing there with his grim fire surrounding his hand, he looked cold and emotionless. Of course he didn't even feel a tinge of pity.
He turned around and looked at the man once again. The man was also staring at him coldly.
"I already said, today, nobody will save him, you saved him once, I wouldn't let it happen twice." Said Lin Feng while looking at the man: "I have already killed him, do you still want something?"
"Do you still want something?"
Lin Feng asked the man because he was trying to stop him from killing Leng Yue, but he still killed him, so what did the man want by staying?
At that moment, in Lin Feng's hand, there was still a black lotus but it wasn't as black in colour anymore, it didn't look as powerful as a moment before anymore.
The man's facial expression changed a few times, Lin Feng was asking him what he wanted, what could he do?
He had attached a great deal of importance to Leng Yue for a long time, he had event brought him to the Imperial Palace, Leng Yue was destined to become a Snow Dragon Guard. However, Lin Feng hadn't shown the tiniest shred of mercy and burnt Leng Yue alive. The Snow Dragon Guards, the protectors of Xue Yue, what did they have to do with Lin Feng?
The protectors of Xue Yue were under the control of the Duan Clan, that's all. Lin Feng wasn't a fool, he wasn't going to become a servant of Xue Yue or for the Imperial Clan.
"You will regret what you did today." Said the man while staring at Lin Feng for a while. He had killed a future member of the Snow Dragon Guards, besides, he even offended She Qiong, Lin Feng would definitely have to pay the price for his actions.
"If you want to fight, I will fight, if you don't want to fight, scram already!" Said Lin Feng who ignored the man's superfluous words. Lin Feng had heard the same idle threats from everyone he crossed, they always said that he would regret his actions, but in the end they were just words, he never felt the slightest regret as he was always acting in harmony with his principles.
