Nine Heavens Martial Emperor

Chapter 443: Chapter 439: Showdown with Lin Feichen

Lin Feichen was enraged, and a terrifying sonic boom ripped through the air.

However, the terrifying spectacle had only just begun.

BOOM!

The crowd watched in horror as, one by one, the massive Ancient Trees below Lin Feichen exploded without warning.

It wasn’t just the Ancient Trees; even giant boulders met the same fate, shattering into pieces.

In an instant, everything within a several-dozen-meter radius below Lin Feichen was obliterated, reduced to dust!

Everyone was utterly horrified.

Lin Feichen hadn’t even attacked yet. The sheer force of the aura erupting from his body possessed such terrifying power. If he were to actually make a move, what kind of scene would that be?!

The crowd hardly dared to imagine it.

"Lin Hao got lucky just now, but in the face of absolute power, all his tricks are useless!" a disciple of the Lin family said fiercely, clenching his fist.

And the crowd was about to witness the might of Lin Feichen’s attack.

Lin Feichen suddenly took a single step forward.

It was just a simple step, yet in the next moment, Lin Feichen appeared right in front of Lin Hao.

Keep in mind, the distance between Lin Hao and Lin Feichen had been at least a hundred meters!

A hundred meters in a single step! This was a true ground-shrinking technique!

At the entrance where the Five Great Divine Sects were gathered, even the powerful experts couldn’t help but narrow their eyes at this sight. Some of them were incapable of such a feat, not possessing that kind of extreme speed.

Over there, Lin Feichen’s speed reached its peak. After that single step, he thrust a palm forward.

RUMBLE!

Lin Hao’s body shot sideways. As Lin Feichen’s palm strike landed, an untold number of Ancient Trees and giant boulders in the Trial Forest were devastated.

"How terrifying!"

Only when the massive crash echoed did the spectators realize what had happened. Many cried out in alarm, their faces filled with horror.

Lin Feichen’s speed was simply too fast. If it had been any of them in Lin Hao’s place, that single move would have decided the battle.

But Lin Hao had actually dodged it, which was somewhat unexpected.

However, Lin Hao’s movement was within Lin Feichen’s expectations. The moment Lin Hao moved sideways, Lin Feichen was already shadowing him, striking again.

This time, his speed was even faster.

But once again, Lin Hao dodged it.

In the afternoon sun, vast swathes of Ancient Trees within the Trial Forest were blasted to bits by this palm strike. Even a Tier Three Devil Beast was killed by the blow.

An expert at the Soul Gathering Realm commanded boundless power with every move!

"Lin Hao, is dodging all you know how to do?!" Lin Feichen stopped and sneered.

Although he had only attacked twice, Lin Feichen knew that Lin Hao’s speed was no less than his own. If Lin Hao was determined to dodge, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to him for the time being.

He was sixth on the Holy Stele. If he couldn’t win after a prolonged assault, his reputation would surely suffer.

Up to this point, Lin Hao was still just an ant in Lin Feichen’s eyes—albeit a very fast one.

"Lin Hao is so shameless! All he does is dodge," a disciple from the Lin family in the crowd heard Lin Feichen and quickly chimed in.

"Heh, Lin Feichen was just played for a fool by Lin Hao. It proves his control of True Essence is inferior to Lin Hao’s. And now his Body Technique is a step behind too. The so-called sixth on the Holy Stele is nothing but an empty title," someone in the crowd countered sharply.

Needless to say, anyone who dared to say such a thing at this moment definitely had a significant background.

"He attacks relying on his speed, but when he can’t catch his opponent, he accuses them of only dodging. To be in the same Saint Institute as someone like that is a true disgrace," another person chimed in, rubbing salt in the wound.

Above the Trial Forest, Lin Feichen’s eyes turned crimson, his killing intent surging.

The next moment, he whipped his head around, glaring toward one of the entrances to the Trial Forest.

However, the entrance was packed with a bustling crowd. How could he possibly find the person who had spoken?

"Lin Hao, you’re courting death!" Unable to find the person, Lin Feichen spun back around and stared daggers at Lin Hao, ready to vent all his rage on him.

Lin Hao shrugged and smiled. "Too bad you’re not capable of it."

Lin Feichen said nothing, but a terrifying phenomenon began to appear in his eyes.

The crimson color in Lin Feichen’s eyes suddenly vanished, replaced by a hazy, boundless mist.

The next moment, Lin Feichen’s eyes widened, and something dreadful happened.

The sky above the entire Trial Forest was instantly submerged in a hazy qi, and everything became invisible.

RUMBLE!

Then, a tremendous roar echoed. The hazy qi dissipated, and a figure was sent flying, spitting blood.

The figure flew for several hundred meters before crashing down into the Trial Forest.

And above the Trial Forest, a single figure stood, his robes fluttering, looking down on the world with disdain.

"Lin Hao lost..." a voice arose from the crowd as they saw the standing figure.

"That was Senior Brother Lin Feichen’s Secret Skill just now. Seeing it again, it’s just so powerful."

"No wonder Lin Feichen chose to fight above the Trial Forest. It turns out it gives him an advantage. How insidious," someone else said resentfully.

"Power decides everything. Lin Hao was simply outmatched. Senior Brother Lin truly lives up to his rank as sixth on the Holy Stele. He defeated Lin Hao without even using his Divine Soul."

"How dare you even mention Divine Soul? You know Lin Hao’s cultivation is a whole layer lower than his. If Lin Feichen had to use his Divine Soul to win, he’d be an even bigger failure."

The crowd chattered endlessly, all of them believing Lin Hao had been defeated.

Meanwhile, at the entrance for the Five Great Divine Sects, everyone exchanged glances until someone finally spoke up. "This battle is over. It was truly spectacular."

This person wanted to praise Lin Feichen, but upon seeing Yu Mengru, he held his tongue.

This girl was the beloved disciple of the Misty Palace’s Palace Master. All Five Great Divine Sects knew how much Su Molixi doted on her. And from the looks of it, her relationship with Lin Hao was far from simple. If he offended her, Su Molixi might even kill someone over it.

But just then, Su Molixi, who had been silent the whole time, spoke: "This battle has only just begun."

While everyone was still stunned, a figure shot up from the Trial Forest into the sky.

The next moment, Lin Hao’s figure reappeared above the Trial Forest.

And aside from a slightly pale complexion, he showed no outward signs of injury.

Lin Feichen’s eyes narrowed sharply.

Even a Martial Artist at the seventh or Eighth Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm couldn’t possibly escape unscathed after taking a direct hit from him.

Yet, aside from coughing up blood at the very beginning, Lin Hao’s aura hadn’t weakened in the slightest. This shocked Lin Feichen.

His heart tightened, and Lin Feichen’s guard went up.

Lin Hao was worthy of his caution.

Recalling what Yin Duwen had told him before coming to the Trial Forest, another strange phenomenon manifested in Lin Feichen’s eyes.

The hazy qi reappeared, surging with a momentum far more terrifying than before.

And as the phenomenon swirled in Lin Feichen’s eyes, the mist that had previously dispersed above the Trial Forest began to envelop it once more.

"He’s walking the path of evolving Chaos Qi! To eventually generate Chaos Qi within his eyes and use it to suppress all enemies!" an old man from one of the Five Great Divine Sects exclaimed, his own eyes widening in realization.

Hearing this, the faces of the others from the Five Great Divine Sects all changed dramatically.

Aside from Su Molixi, whose face was hidden by a veil, only Yin Duwen showed no surprise.

The phenomenon in Lin Feichen’s eyes was related to a certain person.
