Chapter 172: I Heard Someone Wants to Kill Me?
“I-It’s you!”
The third elder\'s eyes twitched uncontrollably. Seeing the icy gaze of Ling Feng made him feel as if his heart was tightly grasped by the claws of a demon.
"Yes, it\'s me!" Ling Feng squinted his eyes, and the killing intent around him gradually spread out.
The third elder scrutinized Ling Feng carefully and noticed that Ling Feng\'s aura not only didn\'t grow stronger but actually weakened considerably. Immediately calming down, he chuckled and said, "I thought you had become quite formidable considering that you didn\'t run away and even dared to stand before me like this!
"I have to admit, you\'re indeed lucky to have survived falling into the Misty Ghost Forest! However, since the King of Hell didn\'t take you, I might as well take the liberty of ending your miserable life!"
The third elder\'s aura suddenly erupted. As a mid-stage Transformation Realm cultivator, he should not be underestimated.
The reason he was previously apprehensive was merely because he was shocked that Ling Feng could escape from the Misty Ghost Forest.
However, what does it matter if he escaped? He will still end up dying by my hand.
"Is that so?" Ling Feng stared at the third elder and said coldly, "Do you remember when I said that if I don\'t die, I will make sure not a single member of your Jia family will be spared?"
"Then you’ll have to live through today if you want to get to them!" The third elder snorted and declared coldly. "Brat, prepare to die!"
With a violent shout, the third elder immediately struck out with a palm. Surging elemental force stirred up a fierce cyclone, sweeping directly toward Ling Feng\'s chest.
"Boundless Sword Steps!"
With a single step, Ling Feng narrowly avoided the palm strike from the third elder. Even so, his skin still stung from the wind that formed after being attacked.
"Hahaha, I thought you had some extraordinary encounter since you dared to boast shamelessly like this. In the end, you\'re nothing but a stray dog!" Although the third elder\'s move was unsuccessful, he had discerned that Ling Feng\'s strength had not improved at all compared to before entering the Misty Ghost Forest.
"Great Sun Stele-breaking Palm!"
The third elder\'s palms emitted a faint golden light that enveloped them in elemental force, and his hands grew to possess the might to cut through gold and shatter stone.
He also knew that Ling Feng possessed a super move capable of instantly killing even an early-stage Transformation Realm cultivator. Therefore, while launching his attack, he defended all his weaknesses, leaving no opportunity for Ling Feng to strike.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The third elder\'s palms clashed directly with Ling Feng\'s sword, and Ling Feng couldn\'t help but fall into a slight disadvantage. The powerful move pushed Ling Feng back step by step.
“Blood Lotus Sword Song!”
With a sweep of his sword, Ling Feng dissipated the palm force of the third elder, then immediately unleashed a mystical-tier sword art.
In an instant, over a dozen sword qi converged into a blood-red lotus flower, rapidly spinning and condensing without dispersing. With a single slash from Ling Feng\'s sword, they plummeted toward the third elder like shooting stars, fiercely crashing down.
"Hmph, insignificant tricks!"
The third elder\'s rage surged like a mountain, and elemental qi gathered around his body to form a golden shield that resembled an inverted golden bell, firmly protecting his body.
Crack!
The sword qi shattered, forcing Ling Feng to retreat more than a dozen steps back. His qi surged wildly within him, and even a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Hahaha! You brat, do you now realize your own insignificance? Allow me to inform you that in the Jia Family, I\'m just the third elder. Above me, there are two more senior elders, and our family\'s head is a peak cultivator at the sixth level of the Transformation Realm. With your measly abilities, do you think you can destroy my entire Jia Family? Now, just die for me!"
The third elder laughed maniacally to the sky. In truth, what worried him was Ling Feng\'s talent. If Ling Feng were to endure and cultivate diligently for ten or eight years, he might indeed be able to destroy the Jia Family. But for now...
Hmph! There\'s no chance!
Of course, this was just wishful thinking on the part of the third elder.
Ling Feng wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, showing no signs of panic. Instead, he revealed a cruel smile.
"Is that so? Well, let\'s see how you deal with this then." As Ling Feng executed his sword technique, his sword flickered in his hand. He then shouted, "First Lock, open!"
Buzz!
In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from Ling Feng. His presence surged suddenly, more than ten times stronger than before!
"H-How is this possible?!"
The third elder\'s eyes twitched violently. In an instant, he erupted with ten times the amount of true qi he had. What kind of extraordinary art has this guy cultivated?
"Now what?" Ling Feng\'s gaze coldly locked onto the third elder. "Let me see how powerful the Primordial Locks truly are!"
Having fully adapted to the first Primordial Lock, Ling Feng had been eager to find someone to spar with. However, the black donkey\'s strength was far too formidable. This third elder, on the other hand, seemed like a suitable sparring partner.
“The Ninefold Ocean-Guarding Fist, Azure Moon Hangs in the Vast Sky!”
Ling Feng gathered his palm into a fist, and with a booming force, his left fist shot out. Rolling with qi, his fist resembled a rising moon that carried an aura as mighty as the vast ocean, sweeping forward.
The massive qi suddenly exploded, stirring up billowing sand and dust in all directions.
"Stop pretending to be mysterious. It\'s just a secret technique to unleash true qi. There\'s nothing special about it!" The third elder\'s fists struck out simultaneously, circulating the surging elemental qi within his body as he shouted, "Great Sun Stele-breaking Palm!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two fists collided heavily.
Ling Feng\'s figure trembled slightly, while the third elder staggered back three steps in succession!
With a single punch, the outcome was clear!
"How is this possible?"
The third elder stared dumbfoundedly at his own fists. His palms felt numb, and all ten of his fingers felt as if they had been fractured with intense pain.
Is this kind of damaging power really from someone in the early stage of Pulse Formation Realm?
Despite only being at the Pulse Formation Realm, the force unleashed by that punch gave off an oppressive feeling akin to that of a primordial savage beast.
"I heard someone wants to kill me?"
Ling Feng sneered, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the third elder.
In the collision of power, Ling Feng had completely overwhelmed the third elder. Enduring the agony of the Primordial Locks had indeed given him unparalleled strength!
The third elder\'s face alternated between pale and flushed, staring at Ling Feng in utter disbelief. His inner shock lingered for a long time without calming down.
"What else do you have? Use all of your tricks!" Ling Feng sneered coldly.
The third elder had already understood that the current Ling Feng had the power to kill him!
"Hmph, I don\'t believe your technique that created that burst of true qi can last long! Golden Bell Body Protection Art!"
With a roar, the third elder completely gave up on attacking and stood firm like a mountain, clasping his hands together. Immediately, a whirlwind of golden light swirled around him, and the golden bell protective shield reappeared. It was the defensive art the third elder had used earlier to withstand Ling Feng\'s Blood Lotus Sword Song.
