Ge Dazhuang completely ignored the words of the crowd, nor did he care what others thought of him.
“Senior Brother Yun, do you agree or not? I will not retaliate and will take your three palms, then this matter will be settled!” Ge Dazhuang asked again.
“Miaomiao, do you think you can withstand my three palms just because you’ve cultivated the Turtle Shell Divine Skill to the eighth level?”
“This matter has nothing to do with you, but if you insist on taking punishment for others, the price you might pay could be unbearable!” Senior Brother Yun’s eyes were sharp and piercing.
Ge Dazhuang had been quite confident initially, but after hearing Senior Brother Yun’s words, he suddenly began to doubt if his Turtle Shell Divine Skill could withstand Senior Brother Yun’s three palms. From his understanding of Senior Brother Yun, he never spoke without certainty. Since he dared to say so, it meant he had a secret method to break his Turtle Shell Divine Skill.
It’s over! What should I do now? Ge Dazhuang was agonizingly conflicted and didn't dare to be too rash. After all, this was no child's play. If the Turtle Shell Divine Skill truly failed, his life could be in jeopardy!
Just as Ge Dazhuang hesitated, Lin Feng placed a hand on his shoulder.
“You should step back. I don’t need you to stand up for me.”
“Since you, Senior Brother Yun, wish to be my enemy, I shall make him pay a price as well!” Lin Feng smiled faintly, still relaxed and composed.
“Good lad, you certainly have some backbone. In the Kunlun Sect, you are the first to dare speak to me like this.” Senior Brother Yun sneered, mocking Lin Feng’s arrogance and ignorance.
He took a step forward, his white robe rustling, truly like an immortal who had attained enlightenment, pure and untainted.
“Defeating Miaolei is nothing special. Others may not see through your cultivation, but I do.”
“Do you think you can contend with me just by knowing a few Heavenly Master Dao talismans and spells?”
“There are many people in this world stronger than you. Today, I will teach you how to conduct yourself with humility!” Senior Brother Yun said indifferently.
“Can you not pretend to be cool?!” Lin Feng found it amusing, thinking this Senior Brother Yun was also a poser. He thought he saw through Lin Feng’s secrets, but in reality, he was entirely wrong.
“Enough with the nonsense. Let’s have a fair fight today. If you defeat me, this matter will be dropped.”
“If you lose, I will personally take your life!” Senior Brother Yun said with a hint of annoyance, gesturing with his hand. A long sword flew through the air and stood before him. The sword looked exquisite, three feet long, exuding a chilling glint.
“Brother Lin Feng, don’t be careless this time. Senior Brother Yun is the foremost sword cultivator of our Kunlun Sect. His swordsmanship is exquisite, praised by our Sect Master Uncle when he was alive.”
“But don’t worry, if you die, I will protect your two friends!” Ge Dazhuang looked troubled. The situation had escalated to this point, and no one could save Lin Feng. He had a good impression of Lin Feng and admired his fearless nature. All he could do was to do his best to protect Hua Yu and Dong Yichen if anything happened to Lin Feng.
“I won’t die. If anyone dies, it will be you, Senior Brother Yun!”
“But I appreciate your intentions. You are a trustworthy friend. From now on, in this Kunlun, I, Lin Feng, will look out for you!” Lin Feng placed his hand on Ge Dazhuang’s shoulder, his arrogant words stunning Ge Dazhuang.
“Damn it, Brother Lin Feng, you call Senior Brother Yun a poser, but you’re quite the poser yourself!” Ge Dazhuang couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
“Brother Lin, I can feel that this guy is a master swordsman. You must not engage him in close combat later. You must keep your distance and fight him on the move,” Dong Yichen also stepped forward to remind him. He had seen many sword masters and knew that close combat could easily lead to being killed by a flurry of sword strikes.
“It doesn’t matter. Your sword is useless against me!”
“Dragon’s Secret, Hidden Dragon, Armor Pierce!” Lin Feng closed his eyes, concentrated, and suddenly shouted. In the sky, a silver dragon let out a resounding roar. The appearance of the silver dragon instantly stunned everyone.
“What’s happening? Is that a real dragon?”
“How can a dragon appear? What secret technique did this kid use?” The disciples were dumbfounded, gazing at the majestic silver dragon in the sky, their hearts trembling. Even Senior Brother Yun’s eyes showed a trace of surprise.
“Roar!” The dragon’s roar shook the heavens. The silver dragon tore through the sky, transforming into a silver light that pierced into Lin Feng. Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, Lin Feng’s entire body was covered in silver dragon armor. He soared into the air, beckoned, and the Hidden Dragon Sword spun from the sky into his hand. At this moment, Lin Feng, having transformed, looked like a god descending to earth, majestic and awe-inspiring.
Hua Yu looked at Lin Feng’s transformed body, suddenly recalling the special skills Lin Feng had mentioned to her before.
“Lin Feng, is this your special ability?” Hua Yu was somewhat mesmerized, finding Lin Feng incredibly handsome.
“Holy crap, Brother Lin, what are these incredible skills? How are they so awesome!” Dong Yichen watched enviously, realizing he was understanding Lin Feng less and less. Lin Feng was so mysterious, always creating visually spectacular scenes. Was this all for show, or was he truly powerful?
“Hmph, it’s all flash and no substance. Even with your myriad of ultimate skills, I will still break through them with a single sword strike!” Senior Brother Yun snorted coldly, his eyes shifting. The long sword suspended before him shot towards Lin Feng. As the sword was released, it split into two, then into four, manifesting countless sword shadows. Like a barrage of arrows, they shot out, filling the sky with sword shadows, aiming to pierce Lin Feng’s heart with their myriad strikes.
“I said, your sword is useless against me!” Lin Feng floated in mid-air, not dodging at all, letting the countless sword shadows stab at his dragon armor. The sound of metal striking metal was incessant. Protected by the dragon armor, Lin Feng’s body was like an iron man; the sword shadows struck the dragon armor but could not harm Lin Feng in the slightest. Senior Brother Yun was not surprised. If Lin Feng could be killed so easily, the fight would be too boring.
“Green Lotus Sword Intent, Void Slash!” Senior Brother Yun smiled slightly and also floated in mid-air. With a wave of his hand, all the swords returned to one. He gripped his long sword, his entire being as if merged with the sword. He brandished the sword, and the sword shadows coalesced into a lotus flower. Under everyone’s gaze, the lotus flower bloomed with a ‘pop,’ its petals scattering. As the petals scattered, a powerful sword intent erupted. The surrounding towering trees were cut into countless pieces by the sword intent. The sword intent swept through like a fierce wind, leaving everything in its path shattered. Even Lin Feng’s indestructible dragon armor could not withstand the invasion of the sword intent. This was because sword intent was formless, a realization achieved only when the path of the sword reached its pinnacle. Sword intent, in essence, was the swordsman’s understanding of the sword dao, transforming the sword into something formless, where intent itself could become a sword. Senior Brother Yun controlled the sword intent, and a murderous aura, like a gale, surged towards Lin Feng, cutting through the air and severing dust.
“My heavens! Senior Brother Yun is too strong, turning intent into a sword, killing without form. This kid is dead for sure!” The crowd was terrified. Even the heavily injured Senior Brother Lei was excitedly stirred.
“Haha, brat, you dare to be arrogant. Let’s see how you break this now!” Senior Brother Lei gritted his teeth, as if he were personally on the battlefield, wishing he could tear Lin Feng to shreds. Hua Yu and the others clasped their hands, worried for Lin Feng. They also recognized the terrifying swordsmanship of Senior Brother Yun and could not imagine Lin Feng’s fate.
Facing Senior Brother Yun’s sword intent attack, Lin Feng activated his precognition ability. He foresaw himself being cut into pieces by the sword intent. This meant the dragon armor could not block the sword intent attack.
“Very well, if sword intent cannot be blocked, then I shall crush it with speed!”
“The fastest wins in all martial arts. What can you do to me!” Lin Feng clasped his hands behind his back and took a step. With just a casual step, his entire being became a blur. He walked through the air, his speed increasing, almost vanishing in place. He trod upon the trajectory of the Great Dao, his entire being as if merged with the Dao. With each step he took, it was as if he traveled a thousand miles, as if he were traversing through time and space. Even the sword intent could not catch up to Lin Feng’s pace. The onlookers’ mouths hung open, wide enough to swallow an egg. They could not comprehend what kind of mysterious footwork Lin Feng was using, feeling as if Lin Feng were walking among the clouds, moving at a speed unattainable by mortals. Senior Brother Yun was also stunned. He had never heard of the ability Lin Feng displayed and had no idea what move this was.
*Slap!* A crisp slap echoed. The onlookers, including Senior Brother Lei, covered their cheeks. He had been slapped but couldn’t see who did it.
*Slap, slap!* Another series of slaps sounded. The disciples who were spectating also covered their cheeks, having been slapped as well.
“You scoundrel, you are ignoring me! You are provoking me!” Senior Brother Yun clenched his fist. He knew it was Lin Feng. Lin Feng was playing with everyone with his uncatchable speed.
“Kid, it’s all over. You can be proud to die after forcing me to use my full strength!” Senior Brother Yun said coldly. His entire being was suddenly engulfed in a dazzling white light, as if he had become divine. In an instant, he transformed into a divine sword.
“Man and sword as one, one sword cleaves through nine heavens!” A cold voice echoed around. The divine sword, as if possessing a soul, sealed the void and began to shuttle rapidly. The divine sword’s speed was extremely fast, turning the entire space into its target. That’s right, Senior Brother Yun merged with the sword. Since Lin Feng’s speed was uncatchable, he would simply cleave through the entire world!
