Free Web NovelChapter 444: Chapter 440: Terrifying Confrontation
That person’s name was Lin Wu!
Lin Wu’s abilities were unfathomable. Yin Duwen had met him once, and the aura Lin Wu exuded had been enough to terrify him.
And not long ago, after Yin Duwen had found Lin Feichen and explained his purpose, Lin Feichen had revealed this secret to him.
The path Lin Feichen now walked was one he had been guided to by Lin Wu.
One eye contains Yang Qi, the other Yin Qi. When yin and yang unite, they manifest Chaos!
Although Yin Duwen didn’t know how far Lin Feichen had progressed, anything related to Chaos Qi couldn’t possibly be simple.
Meanwhile, high above the Trial Forest, Lin Feichen was sending a telepathic message to Lin Hao. "Lin Hao, you should feel honored. I’ve only just achieved some initial mastery of the Yin Yang Divine Skill that Brother Lin Wu passed down to me, and you’ve come knocking on my door."
Hearing this, Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed. He said in a low voice, "Lin Wu. I will find him."
"You? You actually dare to dream of competing with Brother Lin Wu?! HAHAHA, that’s hilarious! Do you have any idea? Not only is Brother Lin Wu the new Patriarch of our Lin family, but he’s also passed the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion’s assessment and entered its upper house directly!"
A flicker of surprise appeared in Lin Hao’s eyes.
He wasn’t surprised that Lin Wu could enter the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion. He was surprised that Lin Wu had actually become the new Patriarch of the Lin family.
Lin Hao was certain this hadn’t happened long ago, as he had been keeping a close watch on the Lin family.
Lin Feichen caught the surprise in Lin Hao’s eyes. After a moment’s thought, he understood the reason for Lin Hao’s reaction.
"I’ll tell you the truth. Not long ago, after Brother Lin Wu became a disciple of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion, he sent men back with several profound Cultivation Techniques and martial arts. The former Patriarch, in order to pursue the martial way, abdicated his position to a more worthy person and passed the title of Patriarch to Brother Lin Wu. Since he isn’t here, the Old Master is acting as Patriarch in his stead for now. Lin Hao, in the face of Brother Lin Wu, you’re not even an ant. You still want to compete with him? Tell me, aren’t you just ridiculous?!"
Whenever Lin Feichen spoke of Lin Wu, his face would light up with pride, an arrogant look on his face, as if he were Lin Wu himself.
Hearing this, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up. He asked, "So you’re saying all those old geezers in your Lin family are in seclusion?"
"Of course! Once they emerge from their seclusion... what are you trying to do?!" Lin Feichen stopped mid-sentence, staring at Lin Hao in shock.
Lin Hao had gotten the answer he wanted. He smiled and said, "Naturally, I’m going to pay your Lin family a visit!"
The Lin family of Imperial City was one of the four great families, with a deep and powerful heritage. Lin Hao had long considered acting against them, but had never dared to. Now, the time had come. It was time to settle the score from three years ago.
"With me here, you won’t even make it out of the Trial Forest today, let alone dream of going to the Lin family!" Lin Feichen quickly calmed down after his initial shock.
Lin Hao calmly uttered a single sentence: "That’s why I’ve decided to kill you."
The moment he finished speaking, Lin Hao moved.
And at almost the exact same instant, Lin Feichen’s eyes widened, and the sky above the Trial Forest was once again inundated. Everything vanished from sight, leaving only a deafening roar.
The onlookers could only see a hazy, violent torrent of energy, while the ground trembled violently as if in a major earthquake. The surging currents of air formed an extremely fierce astral wind, causing many people to feel their blood roil in their chests.
The two fought within the hazy mist, the battle’s momentum shaking the heavens and the earth.
The onlookers were horrified. Even those who had been confident in Lin Feichen couldn’t help but feel their certainty waver. This time, Lin Hao hadn’t been sent flying again, which was completely illogical.
Half an hour later, the hazy energy currents grew thicker and more numerous, and the strange phenomenon became more and more immense. But the violent sounds from before had ceased.
However, the air suddenly became incredibly oppressive, as if a world-ending catastrophe was imminent.
Everyone held their breath, because they all knew that the two figures in the hazy mist were definitely gathering their True Essence, preparing to launch a thunderous strike.
At the same time, everyone spontaneously retreated, as the aura in the air made their hearts pound with increasing dread.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a sky-shattering boom erupted. Some people’s ears went deaf, and a few even had their eardrums start to bleed.
A massive explosion occurred above the Trial Forest. A giant mushroom cloud shot into the sky, overwhelming the heavens above. Below, ripples of energy spread out rapidly from the Trial Forest.
Then, the passages at every entrance to the Trial Forest began to shake violently, and countless people were thrown off their feet.
The disciples with higher cultivation levels steadied themselves and looked over, only to be left dumbfounded.
With the mist gone, the Trial Forest below revealed its true appearance. In a radius of several hundred li centered on Lin Feichen, there was nothing left. Everything had been turned to dust!
At this moment, Lin Feichen was no longer standing in the air but on the ground of the Trial Forest. Lin Hao stood at the very edge of the clearing.
From their positions, it was clear that Lin Feichen still had the upper hand.
But Lin Hao’s performance left everyone speechless.
Even the disciples of the Lin family were silent.
Lin Feichen had used a Secret Skill, yet after half an hour, he still hadn’t managed to neutralize Lin Hao. For the sixth-ranked master on the Holy Stele, this in itself was a form of defeat.
Down in the Trial Forest, Lin Feichen’s expression was incredibly grim.
Lin Hao’s speed was simply too fast. For the past half an hour, he had been the one attacking almost constantly, and at first, he hadn’t managed to land a single blow on Lin Hao!
Only in the final exchange did Lin Hao meet his attack head-on.
And the result of that exchange was something Lin Feichen absolutely could not accept.
Because although Lin Hao had been blasted back several hundred meters, he hadn’t been severely injured—he hadn’t even coughed up blood. Meanwhile, that same blow had forced him, Lin Feichen, to retreat three steps.
Lin Hao had become a threat to him!
Just then, something happened that Lin Feichen would have never expected.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Hao teleported from several hundred meters away, and a sky full of fist shadows appeared.
Lin Hao actually dared to take the initiative and attack!
Lin Feichen had never seen this coming. He hastily dodged to the side.
However, Lin Hao stuck to him like a shadow, and the sky full of fist shadows attacked once more.
Lin Feichen’s hands moved, manifesting yin and yang to create a massive True Essence shield.
The next moment, the two attacks collided!
A deafening roar resounded once more. Yellow sand swirled like a mad dragon, blotting out the sun. Astral winds radiated in all directions, ravaging the already devastated Trial Forest yet again.
Lin Hao’s body was thrown back a hundred meters by the explosion, while Lin Feichen stumbled back several steps before regaining his footing.
This horrified Lin Feichen, because he discovered that Lin Hao’s True Essence hadn’t diminished—on the contrary, it had grown even more powerful and abundant.
’Damn it!’
Murderous intent surged in Lin Feichen’s eyes. He was about to use the power of his Divine Soul.
But he immediately suppressed the urge.
If he were the first to use his Divine Soul’s power, he would have already lost in terms of presence. Even if he ultimately defeated Lin Hao, he would be criticized by many and seen as someone with an undeserved reputation.
"Good. I didn’t expect you to be able to take seventy percent of my power! I’m very curious to see if your skills with weapons are just as impressive. I hope you won’t disappoint me!" As Lin Feichen spoke, a weapon had already appeared in his hand.
He framed it beautifully. Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought Lin Feichen was actually going easy on Lin Hao.
