“I don’t care who you are. There’s no mistake in killing you.” Lin Feng’s cold voice echoed through the air.
Lin Feng moved. A moment later, a cold light flashed.
The white-robed young master only felt a cool pain on his neck and an instant later, he could feel fresh blood gushing out from it.
“How is this possible?” The young master clutched his own throat, but the blood still flowed forth in torrents. His consciousness gradually turned blurry as he fell head-first onto the ground, dead.
In a certain cave, Lin Feng took a ring out. This ring came precisely from that white-robed young master.
Now was already six hours later. Lin Feng had released the ten over cultivators who were tied up. After that, the freed cultivators had gone to handle the corpses of the white-robed young master and his subordinates, including that beautiful young woman. When all that was arranged for, Lin Feng simply sauntered off without a second thought.
“Twenty Mighty Dragon Subduing Pill. A magic bow and banknotes worth 30,000 taels of silver…” After Lin Feng had refined the hoarding ring and taken control of it, he took everything within out. There were over ten items inside, but the most valuable ones were none other than the Mighty Dragon Subduing Pills, magic bow, and the banknotes worth 30,000 taels of silver.
This type of ring was also known as a spirit ring. It was created by an ancestor-level spirit formation master and was worth a few million taels of silver.
In addition, there was only demand but no supply for this item in the market. One might not even be able to purchase it even if they had the money.
“I didn’t expect Duanmu Tianlang to dote on his son so much. He actually gave his son a spirit ring.”
Lin Feng mumbled silently to himself, but a smile appeared on his face. This spirit ring was a treasure, and the space inside was roughly about 30 plus m3, which allowed the owner to place many things inside it. Earlier, Lin Feng had dripped a drop of his blood onto it to bind the spirit ring to himself.
Within the forest, there was a waterfall of 3,000 meters in height.
Underneath the waterfall, there was a piece of glossy rock. On it, a half-naked youth baring his top was allowing the impact of the waterfall to slam on his body.
Under the heavy impact of the waterfall, Lin Feng was currently practicing all the martial arts he had learned before. He consumed the twenty Mighty Dragon Subduing Pills and came here to the bottom of the waterfall to train. He borrowed the impact of the waterfall to better digest the medicinal potency of these pills.
After he finished refining and digesting the strength of the twenty pills, Lin Feng’s strength underwent an explosive surge and it reached 16,000 jin.
In addition, Lin Feng’s cultivation base had also risen to the peak of the seventh-level.
“Haha. Although I’ve not broken through to the eighth-level, my strength has already risen to 16,000 jin. I can already directly suppress ordinary cultivators of the eighth-level.”
Plop.
Lin Feng directly leaped into the water and began swimming in the lake like a fish.
All of a sudden, he felt the temperature of the lake dipping.
“What’s going on?” Lin Feng had a puzzled look on his face.
He swam to the center of the lake. He had discovered that the nearer he went to the center, the lower the temperature would become.
This caused him to have a bewildered look on his face.
When he swam to the center, he saw a young woman currently cultivating a secret art there.
From her, waves of coldness radiated out, causing the surrounding temperature to plunge.
“A frost-type cultivation art.” Lin Feng was startled.
The young woman who was currently cultivating the Frost Ice Art suddenly sensed something and opened her eyes.
“Rascal, you actually dare to come to this young miss’s cultivation place to disturb me. Are you planning to ambush me?” The young woman coldly snorted and slammed out a palm at Lin Feng.
Hualala~
A water wave rippled toward Lin Feng.
However, Lin Feng’s expression remained the same. He quickly swam to the left and evaded her attack.
The young woman continuously unleashed three palm strikes in succession, the power of each palm was greater than the last.
Numerous towering waves rose from the water. Within them, ice spears actually formed and shot toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng’s expression drastically changed. This young woman wasn’t joking at all. She truly wanted to take his life.
When the three ice spears shot over, Lin Feng quickly dove into the water. The ice spears barely missed his head. It was extremely fortunate that he had managed to dodge the attacks.
After Lin Feng came out of the water, he spoke, “I only came here accidentally, yet you wanted to kill me? Since this is the case, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”
Murong Xue’s reaction was extremely fast. She turned around and slammed a palm towards Lin Feng. It was just that she did so in a hurried manner. Hence, although her cultivation was strong, this strike of hers couldn’t rival Lin Feng and she was sent flying.
As Lin Feng planned to lunge over and control Murong Xue.
At this moment, Murong Xue already steadied her body. She coldly glanced at Lin Feng, “You really didn’t want to ambush me?”
Lin Feng also knew that Murong Xue wasn’t easy to deal with. If they went all-out and fought a life-and-death battle, it was highly likely for there to be an internecine outcome. It would naturally be for the best if things could be resolved peacefully. He explained, “I truly didn’t have any thoughts of ambushing you!”
Murong Xue then replied, “In that case, it was a misunderstanding earlier. I apologise for my actions.”
Upon seeing her apologizing, Lin Feng silently mused that this woman was also not the type of woman that were completely illogical.
The two of them then climbed ashore and each went to a location to change into clean clothes.
However, at this moment, over ten cultivators rapidly moved toward them from afar.
“Eh? Murong Xue…” That young cultivator evidently didn’t expect to encounter Murong Xue here. He trembled initially, but a moment later, his face revealed a sinister smile.
“Sun Kui.” Upon seeing this cultivator, Murong Xue’s expression changed. The two of them clearly were acquainted with each other, and from the looks of things, their relationship seemed to be that of enemies.
“Haha, Murong Xue, instead of staying in the Skysaint City, why did you come all the way here to the Desolate Forest?” Sun Kui narrowed his eyes as he stared at Murong Xue.
“Skysaint City?” Lin Feng was taken aback. That was one of the ten ancient cities of the Eastern Commandery Divine Province.
In the Skymartial Continent, there were a total of 3,000 provinces. The Eastern Commandery Divine Province was one of them.
There were simply too many powers within the Eastern Commandery Divine Province. There were empires, sects, and clans there. However, the top-tier powers there were none other than the ancient powers within the ten ancient cities.
This Murong Xue was actually from Skysaint City, one of the ten ancient cities. It seemed like she was a disciple of an ancient power within the Skysaint City.
“This young miss can go wherever she wants to. Who are you to care?” Murong Xue coldly snorted.
“Murong Xue, this place is the Desolate Forest and not the Skysaint City. Who are you showing your high and mighty attitude to? Young master Yunfeng of our Soul Devouring Hall is also in the Desolate Forest. He has always been interested in you. If I capture you and give you to him to enjoy, I would surely gain great merit. Men, capture Murong Xue and kill that brat beside her,” Sun Kui commanded.
“Yes.”
After receiving the command, the cultivators behind him split into two groups. Their expressions were fierce and fiendish as they began to surround Lin Feng and Murong Xue.
“Everyone, I’m not acquainted with her. There’s no need to implicate me in your private grudges, right?” Lin Feng coldly spoke.
“If you two are not acquainted, why would you be together?” Sun Kui coldly laughed. Evidently, he didn’t believe in Lin Feng’s words.
He coldly commanded, “Capture Murong Xue alive. As for this brat, kill him directly!”
