Free Web NovelChapter 3112 Qing Feihong
Ning Buqu had already suffered from a heavy backlash when Sumeru Forbidden Mountain was seized. Now, as this artifact came smashing at its owner, his face morphed.
“Go!”
He opened his mouth and spat out a blood-red bead, which blossomed into a scarlet flame in the air.
Boom!
Amidst the deafening sound of a collision, the bead burst, buying a second for Ning Buqu to narrowly dodge the mountain. The old monsters outside broke into a cold sweat as they watched this unfold. They felt even more deeply the power of Lin Xun's combat ability.
“Whatever else you have, feel free to show them, or you may not have a chance later!” Lin Xun said while charging at Ning Buqu alongside his two dao bodies.
Rumble~~
Light and fire tumbled, and dao sounds whirred in the battlefield of victory or defeat. Ning Buqu fought as though he was betting his life on it and used every defensive tool and method in his arsenal. He didn't seek to injure the enemy, only to protect himself.
In contrast, Lin Xun was blasting attacks left and right, up and down, moving unrestrained like he was a king in a conquest. With every wave of his hand, the dao would appear to follow his command.
Mere minutes later, Ning Buqu was already coughing blood, his face as white as a sheet. This accurately reflected the terrible situation he was in. Divine abilities or powerful techniques, anything he used was shattered by Lin Xun. He was locked in a state of being constantly suppressed.
This upset and angered Ying Tiansheng’s party. Although they had known all along that Ning Buqu was not Lin Xun's opponent, it was impossible to remain calm when they saw their companion's miserable appearance.
Meanwhile, the spectators outside gasped nonstop in shock. Lin Xun had only used two of his clones, but according to the news from the other day, he had five! Didn't this mean he could have defeated Ning Buqu, a veteran who had crossed five Great Silence Unlife Calamities, much sooner if he wanted to?
“Kill!”
Suddenly, Ning Buqu's eyes became bloodshot. His entire sea of qi seemed to be on fire as he threw all care out the window and rushed towards Lin Xun. He really looked like he was going for mutual destruction.
However, everyone present knew that Ning Buqu would not die, not on the battlefield of victory or defeat where death was impossible. He was only doing this to have a true exchange with Lin Xun one time before his defeat.
At this moment, a cold killing intent gleamed in Lin Xun's eyes.
Swish! Swish!
He dispatched two more dao bodies, and together with the four of them, he had Ning Buqu surrounded and bombarded. Not only was Ning Buqu's desperate strike nullified instantly, but he himself also fell into suffocating oppression.
Suddenly, Lin Xun’s true form rushed forward and clutched Ning Buqu's neck.
BANG!
Ning Buqu's shell then exploded. After a rain of flesh and blood, only his primordial spirit remained. The gory scene stimulated the entire crowd. They stiffened, feeling chills seeping into their hearts.
“You can't kill me!” Ning Buqu's primordial spirit hoarsely said, appearing relatively calm.
“I can destroy your dao foundation,” Lin Xun responded seriously.
The single sentence sent Ning Buqu's primordial spirit reeling, and he looked utterly pale.
Boom!
Power surged from Lin Xun’s palm and sliced into Ning Buqu's primordial spirit like a thousand sharp blades. There was instantly a sharp pain that was difficult to describe, causing Ning Buqu to emit a shrill scream.
The poor fellow! Many people were creeped out. Who would have thought that Lin Xun would be this relentless and ruthless, taking this opportunity to cripple Ning Buqu’s cultivation potential?
Ying Tiansheng and the rest of his party members were so infuriated that their eyes bulged.
“I'll kill you even if it costs my life!” Ning Buqu's primordial spirit frantically hissed.
Boom!
The next moment, obscure law power emerged in the battlefield of victory or defeat and transported away Ning Buqu's primordial spirit, and even his flesh and blood. Meanwhile, Lin Xun was confined, unable to move any further.
Obviously, victory and defeat had already been decided. Upon perceiving that Ning Buqu was going to die, the law power of the battlefield operated to save him.
Lin Xun inwardly sighed. Sure enough, it's impossible to kill an opponent in this battlefield of victory or defeat.
Meanwhile, Ning Buqu's decisiveness and ruthlessness surprised him. Back in that final moment, the other party had attempted to use a secret technique to self-destruct his primordial spirit. While this seemed like a suicide move, it actually exploited the law power of the battlefield of victory or defeat, thus allowing him to escape with his life.
“Old Ning!”
An anxious voice resounded from Four Symbols Heavenly Pass. Ning Buqu's primordial spirit had come back in a dim state, and all of the vitality in his mangled flesh had gone. His wretched end enraged and pained Ying Tiansheng’s group.
Rustle~
Ying Tiansheng did a series of gestures with his hands and fingers. A variety of dao light sprang forth and enveloped Ning Buqu's primordial spirit along with his shattered flesh and blood. In just a few breaths, his physical form was rebuilt.
However, his energy was weakened beyond measure, his face was stark white, and the severity of his injuries made the spectators’ blood run cold. Clearly, Ning Buqu's dao foundation was heavily damaged. It would be extremely difficult for him to recover to his peak state again in this life!
With Ning Buqu's current state, fighting in this Fate Lotus World was no longer possible. In other words, Ying Tiansheng's camp had lost one more expert who could help deter their opponents!
Buzz~
In a wave of light, Lin Xun was teleported outside, while the battlefield of victory or defeat vanished.
“Lin Xun, you have a death wish!” Ying Tiansheng's face was livid, his eyes brimming with frosty hatred.
“You lost, that is all. Don't tell me that you, Ying Tiansheng, cannot afford to lose?” Xing Jianxia’s party rushed to Lin Xun's side at once and assumed a vigilant stance.
“Old Demon Ying, don't say you forgot how you lot almost killed Old Baize and Old Mu in the last Fate Lotus World, and they only survived with severe injuries! What we're doing now is called an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!” shouted Daoist Shanfeng.
“Seniors, don't waste your breath on them.” Lin Xun said, “Once we beat them to the point there's nothing left but fear and despair in them, they won't even dare to make a scene anymore.”
The region sank into silence. If it had been any other Creation Eternal speaking such words, they would have been slapped to death. However, when they came from Lin Xun, a young Creation Eternal who had killed Demon Lord Huyong, they carried a different weight.
At least, many of the old monsters present didn't dare to treat him as a minor character anymore.
“Young Friend Lin Xun, are you going for another duel?” one person couldn't help but ask.
“Of course,” replied Lin Xun who already sent a palm strike at the ‘victory or defeat’ Great Dao Ring Monument once more.
The crowd boiled with murmurs, while Ying Tiansheng and company looked as gloomy as rain clouds. They had felt the urge to fly out to kill Lin Xun multiple times already, only to have held back in the end. They could not afford to lose Four Symbols Heavenly Pass!
“Send me.” A handsome looking man clad in a green battle suit and a feathered crown stepped out. “Right now, I am the most suitable fighter against Lin Xun.”
Qing Feihong!
As an old monster who had crossed five Great Silence Unlife Calamities, his battle prowess was disproportionately terrifying. In particular, his mastery of the lightning dao was regarded as the best of the best, far surpassing the lightning dao of other cultivators.
This person was also a powerful warrior in Ying Tiansheng's camp. He was no weaker than Qiu Fengchi and Demon Lord Huyong. There were many rumors that Qing Feihong actually still hid a portion of his strength, and that no one had ever truly been able to force him use all of his cards in battle!
Upon seeing Qing Feihong volunteer himself, many spectators revealed strange expressions. Ying Tiansheng hesitated for a moment before he finally agreed and said, “Don't risk your dao foundation.”
Qing Feihong nodded.
Meanwhile, Xing Jianxia was transmitting everything he had on Qing Feihong's background and details to Lin Xun.
......
The battlefield of victory or defeat reappeared. The two duelists faced each other from a distance. Not a word was said, but whether it was Lin Xun or Qing Feihong, there was a strong battle spirit and killing intent boiling in the depths of their eyes.
Boom! Boom!
When the law power confining them dissipated, both moved at once, no nonsense uttered the entire time. Lin Xun flickered, and the five dao bodies rushed out for the kill together. Meanwhile, his true form urged the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron and put his entire dao base into display.
On the other side, Qing Feihong was holding a black lance. The weapon was wreathed in frightening black and red lightning law power, spraying light and emanating a destructive aura that could penetrate through time.
His posture was upright and covered from head to toe in stirring thunder and lightning. When in action, he was as domineering as he looked, calling billions of bolts with every move like the lord of lightning.
Crash!
The two engaged in a fierce fight. The entire battlefield of victory or defeat presented a scene of collapse and turmoil. Everyone in the area held their breath as their whole minds had been drawn to this duel. Gradually, they were surprised to find Lin Xun had been steadily parried by Qing Feihong despite using all five dao bodies!
Nonetheless, Qing Feihong was unable to gain the upper hand as well. The fight entered a standoff as the duelists demonstrated equal strength, and this kind of fight was undoubtedly the most intense and overwhelming.
In just moments, they had hundreds of exchanges! Every blow traded had the old monsters in the audience dazzled and marveling nonstop. Qing Feihong's combat strength was eye-catching, but Lin Xun having the capability to match him as a Creation Eternal was what truly shook them.
“Qing Feihong indeed had been hiding a big part of his power. He's even slightly above Demon Lord Huyong!” A dark cloud covered half of Xing Jianxia's face.
Having watched the duel between Lin Xun and Demon Lord Huyong with his own eyes and then comparing it to the fight in front of him, he could tell that Qing Feihong's strength was a notch stronger than Huyong.
“Nothing to worry about. Right now they're still evenly matched, and a battle like this is probably exactly what our young friend desires the most,” Fu Nanli whispered.
“My buddies, don't just glue your eyes to the fight. Watch out for the surroundings too in case anything unexpected pops up,” Daoist Shanfeng reminded. The others quietly nodded.
At the same time, Ying Tiansheng inwardly sighed in relief. “It’s a good thing that Qing Feihong has finally gotten him restrained.”
For some reason, he recalled their first meeting with Lin Xun. At the time, everyone had thought that Lin Xun was tired of living and so was trying to end his life. However, the impression most people had of him had unknowingly changed in a drastic manner! Even Ying Tiansheng had come to subconsciously regard Lin Xun as a great foe!
“Fortunately, there's zero chance for him to reach the Immeasurable Realm in this Sea of Fate, so he can still be suppressed and exterminated. Otherwise, all of us old fellows from the various epochs would probably get stepped on under his feet...”
Ying Tiansheng exhaled a long sigh of relief.
