Chapter 1290: Ling Feng Makes His Move
The Blood Howl City Master's face twisted into a sinister smile: "But I never would have imagined that the essence of the Divine Blood would be hidden within your mind. Otherwise, after absorbing your Divine Blood, my Blood Demon Technique could achieve perfection, and I wouldn't be stuck at merely the Sea of Gods Realm now!"
"Of course, I still have to thank you! Thanks to the Divine Blood contained in half of your body, I smoothly reached the Sea of Gods Realm!" The Blood Howl City Master said pridefully, "And now, with you walking right into my trap, the day of my Blood Demon Technique reaching perfection is today, hahaha..."
Sadness flickered in Zi Yue's eyes: "Liu Wuyun, is this the reason you went to such lengths to seal the entire canyon?"
"Naturally!" The Blood Howl City Master arrogantly replied, "I followed the scent of your blood to this place. To prevent you from escaping, I set up the Flow Loss Formation around the canyon. Don't you feel that leaving this canyon results in a loss of power?"
Saying this, the Blood Howl City Master caressed the coffin with an obsessive look in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will make good use of your Divine Blood. Didn't you say you wanted to be with me forever? Once I absorb your Divine Blood and drain your power, we can be together forever, can't we?"
"Liu Wuyun, you're nothing but a devil!" Zi Yue's voice was full of anger: "I wish I could rip you to shreds!"
Sorrow flickered in Zi Yue's eyes; back then, countless Demon Charms slaughtered her tribe's kin. She truly believed it was all because of her, so she donned armor, picked up the longsword, and charged to the front line of the battle!
Facing accusations and denunciations from the tribe's people, she simply closed her mouth and swallowed all grievances inwardly, because she felt everything was her fault. Because of her, the elders who loved her in the tribe perished, and she even thought, if she died, would this all be relieved?
But hearing Liu Wuyun's words, all the grievances in Zi Yue's heart transformed into a towering rage, as if it would burn Liu Wuyun to ashes.
"What terrifying eyes!" The Blood Howl City Master chuckled, "Zi Yue, give up now. The coffin carries the power to suppress souls; moreover, I've planted Blood Demon Poison in you. You're like a caged bird. Just wait for my favor!"
"How disgusting!" With a sharp voice, a fierce sword light swept across, and the Blood Howl City Master's figure vanished, yet the coffin bore the brunt of Ling Feng's heavy strike.
But it was unknown what material this coffin was made of, Ling Feng's anticipated strike surprisingly couldn't cleave it open, only leaving a deep scratch on it.
The Blood Howl City Master's eyes narrowed: "Ling Feng, can't you just behave? Do you want to die?"
Ling Feng gripped the Mo Yu Sword, watching the Blood Howl City Master calmly: "Blood Howl City Master, are you still planning to spare our lives? Besides... even if you don't want to kill me, I can't wait to strike down a beast like you!"
The Bright Saintess, standing behind Ling Feng, had a firm look on her face. Listening to the Blood Howl City Master's words had completely overturned her worldview; he actually committed such an atrocity for his own gain.
Ling Feng twirled the Mo Yu Sword: "Blood Howl City Master, I'm going in!"
In fact, Ling Feng had his own thoughts on launching the attack. If the Blood Howl City Master successfully absorbed Zi Yue's Divine Blood and power, his ability would become stronger, and Ling Feng and the others would have no chance left!
He knew the Blood Howl City Master would never let them go; otherwise, he wouldn't reveal all these ugly truths to them!
Rather than waiting to be slaughtered, it was better to attack now and save Zi Yue; combining their strengths still held a chance to fight!
However, Ling Feng's estimation of the coffin's strength was wrong, and that previous sword strike failed to break it, sinking his heart.
Yet the sword had already been unsheathed, and Ling Feng had no choice but to continue the battle!
"Alright, let me see how strong the one who killed my Ghost Hand Warlord truly is!" The Blood Howl City Master smiled slightly. Though he didn't intend to kill Ling Feng and the others so early, if they were asking for death, he was all too willing to fulfill their wish.
"God Annihilating Slash!" Ling Feng called out, the Mo Yu Sword in his hand buzzing, a black flame instantly shooting out from the sword, coupled with razor-sharp Sword Qi, forming a dragon charging towards the Blood Howl City Master!
Previously, Ling Feng only used simplified versions of the God Annihilating Slash; this was his first time using the complete technique with the Mo Yu Sword!
With that move, Ling Feng felt his body seemingly drained; he hadn't expected the move to demand so much strength!
The Blood Howl City Master's previously calm expression vanished, replaced by a look as if he had seen a ghost. Clearly a mere fledgling in the Early Divine Realm, how could he unleash such formidable and terrifying power?
"Right, the longsword in his hand!" A wave of joy flashed in the Blood Howl City Master's eyes; he realized most of Ling Feng's power likely came from the longsword in his hand, meaning it must be a rare Divine Artifact.
"Haha, I, Liu Wuyun, truly am heaven's favored son. Today marks the success of my Blood Demon Technique, and heaven gifts me a Divine Artifact too; heaven truly favors me!"
The Blood Howl City Master's joy was instantly overwhelmed by the God Annihilating Slash.
Boom! A destructive power emanated from the Blood Howl City Master, and the Bright Saintess immediately raised a Protective Barrier to guard Ling Feng.
But this explosive force was too strong, and the Bright Saintess's Protective Barrier shattered instantly and vanished.
The Bright Saintess bit her lip; Ling Feng's aura was now extremely weak, utterly incapable of enduring the current impact.
Seeing the Protective Barrier disappearing, the Bright Saintess hurled herself upon Ling Feng. If the Protective Barrier were gone, she'd use her own body to shield Ling Feng.
Cough, cough! Ling Feng coughed a few times and said, "Um... Saint Di Anfu, could you get up? You're almost suffocating me!"
The Bright Saintess opened her eyes to find a faint glow emerging from the Mo Yu Sword, the light protecting them both, leaving them unaffected by the surrounding energy.
"How embarrassing!" The Bright Saintess's face immediately flushed. She glared at Ling Feng and then got up, her cheeks tinged with redness: "Ling Feng, your move was so powerful, do you think the Blood Howl City Master could be directly killed?"
Ling Feng shook his head and replied, "If the Blood Howl City Master were a Divine Realm Master, he would certainly be dead, but he's a Sea of Gods Realm powerhouse, so I'm sure he has survival strategies!"
