The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 1593: A Thousand-Year Scheme

"Old bastard, hand over your life!"

Killing intent surged in the gaunt man's eyes as he immediately unleashed his Blood Thunder and struck out with a palm.

The square-faced brute beside him lunged forward at the same time, roaring, "All of you are going to die!"

The outcome was obvious. Even the earlier Blood Shadow Alliance disciples at the Human Emperor level had already forced this group into constant retreat, leaving them barely able to resist. Now they faced two Great Emperor-level experts, both at the second level of the Divine Destiny Realm.

The gaunt man threw a punch straight at Elder Cang Yue, locking onto her without hesitation.

There was no doubt about it. Even though she was gravely injured, she was still a sixth-level Divine Destiny expert, making her the most dangerous target.

Meanwhile, the square-faced brute charged straight into the crowd like a tiger among sheep. Blood Thunder and Blood Flames burst out together, and screams rang out as several disciples collapsed into pools of blood.

Ling Feng clenched his teeth in anger. He had told Elder Cang Yue to hide first, yet she insisted on stalling and arguing like a street shrew. Now look at the result.

She had brought this upon herself.

"Pfft!"

Elder Cang Yue could barely even stand due to her injuries. How much strength could she still muster?

In a single exchange, she was struck square in the face. Two teeth shattered on the spot as she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xu Xinghe was kicked away, crashing hard into a massive rock. A series of cracking sounds echoed from his body, and who knew how many bones had just broken.

"This time... we're finished!"

Despair filled Xu Xinghe's heart. If only Elder Cang Yue had listened to Ling Feng earlier and hidden somewhere, they would never have run straight into the enemy.

This was nothing but self-inflicted disaster.

But Elder Cang Yue clearly did not see it that way.

"You little bastard! You ruined me, you ruined everyone! You are the sinner of this sect!"

She spat out another mouthful of blood, her face twisted with hatred as she glared at Ling Feng. In her eyes, if Ling Feng had simply obeyed her orders, none of this would have happened.

Ling Feng let out a cold laugh and ignored her completely. He pulled Fairy Qingping aside, then leapt forward and landed directly in front of the square-faced brute.

At that moment, the brute was still rampaging with Blood Thunder, cutting down Dongling Immortal Pool disciples one after another.

Crack!

He stomped down and snapped another disciple's neck, then grinned viciously. "Hehe, not a single one of you can fight!"

"Enjoying yourself?"

A cold voice suddenly whispered by his ear, sending a chill down his spine.

Before he could react, Ling Feng had already closed in without a sound. His fist slammed forward, unleashing the power of fifty Dragon-Elephant Divine Strengths, blasting a massive hole straight through the brute's chest.

"Pfft!"

The square-faced brute coughed up blood, disbelief filling his eyes. He pointed at Ling Feng, his voice trembling. "You... you are... Ling Feng!"

"You realized too late."

Ling Feng kicked him away. With his heart meridians completely shattered, there was no chance of survival.

The entire scene fell silent in shock.

An instant kill.

A true instant kill.

Killing Human Emperor-level disciples earlier was one thing, but this was a second-level Divine Destiny Great Emperor.

Even Elder Cang Yue stared in disbelief. At her peak, she would not have cared about someone at the second level of the Divine Destiny Realm. But this was within the Forbidden Domain.

What she did not know was that within this domain, killing them was even easier for Ling Feng.

Perhaps only the higher-ranking elders of the Blood Shadow Alliance could pose any real challenge to him.

"So you're Ling Feng!"

The remaining gaunt man's pupils shrank as he saw his companion killed instantly. His expression changed drastically.

Without a word, he abandoned Elder Cang Yue and Xu Xinghe, who were right in front of him, and leapt into the canyon. After a few swift movements, he vanished from sight.

Ling Feng snorted softly. The fight had already alerted others within the vein. This place was no longer safe.

"Useless burden!"

He shot Elder Cang Yue a cold glare, then rushed over to Fairy Qingping, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and barked at the Despicable Donkey, "Move!"

The donkey immediately bolted after him.

The surviving Dongling Immortal Pool disciples did not hesitate. They hurried after Ling Feng as well. At this point, sticking with him was their only chance at staying alive.

Xu Xinghe struggled to his feet and was about to follow when Elder Cang Yue grabbed his arm tightly.

"Xu Xinghe, are you going to betray me? Betray the sect?"

"I wouldn't dare."

Though resentment burned in his heart, Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth and lifted her onto his back before quickly catching up.

In the end, Ling Feng still could not bring himself to abandon them. Otherwise, with his speed, there was no way this group of injured and exhausted people could keep up.

...

Half an hour after they left.

Figures shot out one after another from deep within the mine.

Dozens upon dozens of Blood Shadow Alliance disciples poured out, easily over a hundred of them, filling the area.

Every single one radiated killing intent as their eyes swept across the battlefield.

At the front stood a man with short reddish-brown hair. His gaze was fierce, and his physique was terrifyingly powerful. He was clearly a body refinement cultivator. The Blood Flames around him had reached the level where they could take shape freely. A pair of blood-red wings flapped behind his back, allowing him to fly even within the Forbidden Domain.

Around him, thick bolts of lightning coiled and twisted like roaring Thunder Dragons, releasing a power that made the heart tremble.

He looked over the dead and injured disciples, his expression darkening as his fists clenched, crackling loudly.

"Blood Eagle, was all this done by that brat Ling Feng?"

Blood Eagle, the gaunt man who had escaped earlier, nodded quickly. "Yes, Elder Chi. Over the past few days, he's already killed many of our people. Most of them died the same way, their heart meridians shattered by a single punch."

A cold light flickered in Chi Duanshui's eyes. "Even for a body refinement martial artist, there were seventy to eighty disciples guarding the outer area. How could he kill so many without being noticed? Unless..."

"Unless what?" Blood Eagle asked immediately.

"Unless that brat possesses something that goes beyond the rules of the Xuanling Continent, just like us. And whatever he has is even more terrifying than our Blood Thunder and Blood Flames."

"What? That's impossible!" Blood Eagle exclaimed. "He's only an early-stage Human Emperor!"

Chi Duanshui clasped his hands behind his back and spoke coldly, "Have you ever seen a Human Emperor at the early stage kill a third-level Divine Destiny Great Emperor?"

Blood Eagle fell silent, his face filled with shock.

"That brat could very well ruin our grand plan."

"What should we do then?" Blood Eagle asked anxiously. "If he truly has power beyond the rules of the Xuanling Continent, should we consider lifting the Forbidden Domain?"

"Idiot. The moment the domain is lifted, who can stop Saint Lady Hui Yue?"

Chi Duanshui barked angrily, then his voice turned cold. "Enough. I will handle this brat myself. No matter what, we cannot let him destroy the plan we have prepared for a thousand years. The tides are turning. The days of Dongling Immortal Pool ruling the Dongling Region are coming to an end."
