Chapter 29: Come Out and Face Death!
"What exactly happened? Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Jin Yichen spoke up, wishing to mediate between Dugu Xuan and Lin Feng, with whom he was acquainted.
"This person must die."
Dugu Xuan's voice was icy, leaving no room for compromise.
Lin Feng said calmly, "Having slain one of his clones, he should tuck his tail and flee when he sees me, instead of continuing to bounce in front of me."
Lin Feng's words instantly stirred everyone present.
No one had expected Dugu Xuan's clone to be slain by Lin Feng.
It's said that the clone was forged using an ancient skill, amalgamated with countless materials.
Moreover, it was strengthened by mana from a strong figure of eternal giant level.
The combat power was considered defying the heavens, yet it was slain by Lin Feng.
No wonder Dugu Xuan harbored such hatred toward Lin Feng.
Determined to defeat Lin Feng.
The reason lies here.
…
"Boy, how dare you boast shamelessly in front of me; today I will execute you."
Dugu Xuan's voice was indifferent as he stepped forward, his killing intent enveloping Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's expression was indifferent, lightly tapping the table.
A drop of wine from the cup flew out, and Lin Feng flicked his finger.
Swoosh.
The drop of wine turned into a sword, instantly slashing toward Dugu Xuan.
"Break."
Dugu Xuan's expression was indifferent, gathering killing light with killing aura that swept forth, colliding with Lin Feng's water-turned-sword move.
Both their attacks dissipated into nothingness.
"These two are indeed powerful."
Many people were moved.
That seemingly simple attack had them all on edge.
The collision was too terrifying.
"Has Lin Feng's cultivation advanced so quickly?"
Ouyang Xiyu was shocked; back then, Lin Feng's cultivation was far inferior compared to now, and in just a few years, he had grown to this extent.
Jin Yichen and Dream Xuan Immortal were equally shocked, having known Lin Feng for a long time and aware of his previous level of cultivation.
The combat power displayed now was unimaginable to them.
Jin Yichen said, "How about both of you drink a cup peacefully today? So many people gathered here isn't easy; if you want to resolve grudges, perhaps find another opportunity."
Dugu Xuan's expression fluctuated, eventually retracting his killing intent. He said, "Since Brother Jin says so, I don't want to ruin everyone's mood, so let's let this boy live a bit longer."
Dugu Xuan was extremely arrogant, never having considered Lin Feng important.
He had absolute confidence in his true self, believing he could kill Lin Feng.
Lin Feng chuckled lightly, "Overconfidence often leads to a miserable fate."
"You confuse confidence with arrogance and dare to speak nonsense here? Truly laughable. I won't speak much now; enjoy your remaining time in life."
Dugu Xuan glanced disdainfully at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng drank a cup of wine, no longer speaking.
Dugu Xuan's true self is powerful.
But Lin Feng.
Is not weak either.
…
The atmosphere was slightly awkward; Ouyang Xiyu then spoke, "Have you heard about the Star Trial?"
Shen Dao Sect was surprised, "Is the Star Trial about to start?"
"Yes, reportedly, the Ancient Star Road destroyed by the Heavenly Demons during the Middle Ages is being cleared. If it can be opened, the Star Trial can begin."
Ouyang Xiyu nodded.
"What exactly is the Star Trial?" someone asked.
Dugu Xuan glanced contemptuously at the cultivator questioning him, "The Star Trial is in a place called Heavenly Tribulation Star Domain in the Starry Sky World, where stars surround and form a special space. Even cultivators who haven't reached the God Realm can fly among the stars. The Star Domain World holds endless opportunities."
"Such a place in the Starry Sky World?" Immediately, someone was shocked.
Dream Xuan Immortal said, "I've heard that the Star Trial is extremely challenging. Not only are opportunities abundant, but being deep in the starry sky allows absorption of Starry Sky Power, greatly enhancing soul power."
Many people were fervent in their hearts, deeply longing for the Star Trial.
Ouyang Xiyu said, "Currently, the Ancient Starry Sky Road is being repaired; if it can be fully restored, reopening the Ancient Starry Sky Road would be a major opportunity for cultivators on the Heavenly Martial Continent."
"I've heard there are many magical races in the Extraterrestrial World. If we enter that Star Domain for the Star Trial, might we encounter cultivators from other races?"
Someone said this.
"There's indeed a possibility," a cultivator nodded, expressing certainty.
Lin Feng said calmly, "If encountered, it might not be a good thing; the cultivator world is full of deceit and danger. There's a saying, 'Those not of our race, their hearts deserve to die,' which must be familiar to all."
Many who heard Lin Feng's words showed a slight change in expression.
His words were indeed reasonable.
Between people, deceit prevails.
Robbing and killing treasures is common.
Especially with other races?
If truly encountered, who knows what terrifying events might occur.
Nonetheless, despite the risks of the Star Trial, enthusiasm could not be dampened.
Everyone clearly showed great interest in the Star Trial.
Then Gu Yun'er mentioned the "Heavenly Enlightenment Road."
More people knew about the Heavenly Enlightenment Road.
It seems the Heavenly Enlightenment Road will open within the next ten years.
But the exact timing is unknown.
The banquet gradually approached its end.
Dugu Xuan drank three cups in a row.
He suddenly stood up, unleashing terrifying killing intent that directly enveloped Lin Feng.
"Come out and die; today I will surely defeat you."
Dugu Xuan's voice was icy, his killing intent soaring.
Many were shocked; Dugu Xuan really intended to kill Lin Feng.
During the gathering, there was a period of calm, and everyone assumed Dugu Xuan wouldn't act.
Now, with the gathering about to end.
Dugu Xuan didn't hide his killing intent toward Lin Feng.
"Private fights are not allowed in Heavenly Saint City," Murong Xue worried Lin Feng might suffer, so she spoke up.
"Humph, I want to kill this boy; can Heavenly Saint City's rules restrain me? No one can save him today."
Dugu Xuan was very arrogant, his voice like ice.
Jin Yichen said, "Fighting privately in Heavenly Saint City is disrespectful to the Heavenly Saint Emperor."
A Great Emperor, even if deceased.
Is still revered and worshipped by all.
Dugu Xuan's voice was indifferent, "Doesn't Heavenly Saint City have a Life and Death Arena? I'll defeat him there."
Once on the Life and Death Arena, it's a life-and-death battle between two people.
No one else can interfere.
This way, this battle doesn't count as a private fight.
"There is a Life and Death Arena," a cultivator said.
Jin Yichen looked coldly at Lin Feng, "I'll await you on the Life and Death Arena; come out and die."
After speaking, he strode toward the outside.
Lin Feng stood up.
At that moment, the war intent within him surged to the sky.
"Even if you don't provoke me, I'll still defeat you; since you come seeking death, today there's no reason not to take your upward human head."
Lin Feng's body emitted endless war intent as he stepped toward the outside. With each step, the war intent within him grew stronger; many Heavenly Prides in the elegant pavilion struggled to breathe under the pressure from Lin Feng's war intent.
