Chapter 69
Lin Feng instantly understood that the man in black before him must be Jiang Chen.
Now that the soul power bolstering him had completely disappeared, he had originally planned to let Old Man Tianji possess him and then immediately make a run for it, but Jiang Chen’s words made him freeze in place!
Then his face turned dark!
Is this picking me up?
It’s clearly an attempt to kill me!
Lin Feng cursed inwardly.
He felt like he had been played like a clown!
At this moment, he even had the impulse to let Old Man Tianji possess him and go on a rampage!
But if he did, Old Man Tianji’s soul power would be completely depleted, and it would be difficult for him to escape later.
This was not a choice to be made lightly.Jiang Chen felt quite pleased after seeing Lin Feng’s dark expression.
He said no more, just standing there with a faint smile.
This left Lin Feng at a loss!
Come on, say something!
If you don’t speak, how am I supposed to know what you’re planning to do?!
It would be too embarrassing to run away without the other party making a move.
But if he rashly attacked, he always felt something was missing…
Both the atmosphere and the mood were not right!
After all, Jiang Chen’s demeanor was completely different from the villain he had encountered before!
“Old Man Tianji, what is Jiang Chen’s cultivation level?” Lin Feng asked inwardly.
“Middle stage Human Origin.”
“What? Wasn’t he just crippled at the Core Formation stage? I’ve confirmed this with several cultivators, so it can’t be wrong!”
“…Shouldn’t we just run away? I feel like things are getting more and more off.”
“What’s the rush? Based on my experience, even if this ‘young master’s’ cultivation is higher than mine, he’s just a paper tiger. I can fight above my realm!”
Old Man Tianji’s silence gave Lin Feng a bit more confidence.
He mimicked Jiang Chen. Just standing there with a faint smile on his lips.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to speak, but he always felt that whoever spoke first would instantly lose their cool in such a situation.
The two stared at each other for several moments.
Then.
“Hmm, you dare to beat my people up?” Jiang Chen’s smile faded, his tone turned menacing.
Here it comes!
Lin Feng was overjoyed!
He thought to himself: That’s the spirit!
Although he hadn’t had the chance to beat up Jiang Chen’s underling before the guy ran away, but he was familiar with this scenario!
After a disdainful snort, Lin Feng said with some arrogance, “Hmph, so what if I did? I…”
Before he could finish, a blood sword appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand, and behind him, an image of an elder with an aura of the Way of the Sword materialized.
Then, he swung his blood sword, instantly unleashing a hundred-zhang-long Sword Qi!
The Sword Qi was as majestic as towering mountains, its power so immense that it seemed to split the heavens and the earth.
Where the Sword Qi passed, although it did not touch the ground, the mere shockwaves caused the ground to crack rapidly, spreading throughout the entire Lingshan Town in an instant!
Lin Feng narrowly dodged the strike in the nick of time by allowing Old Man Tianji to possess him!
The hundred-zhang-long Sword Qi grazed the top of his head, instantly creating a visible vacuum that flew out for a hundred li before slowly dissipating.
And those cultivators who had already been trembling with fear saw tThe entire Lingshan Town had been flattened by the Sword Qi when they came to their senses…!
Especially the distant mansion of the Town Master, which was directly split in half by the Sword Qi with sword light still flickering on the cut surface!
At this point, Lin Feng’s body was controlled by Old Man Tianji.
His consciousness was floating in his mind, and Lin Feng felt terrified as he saw this scene!
He would have been cleaved in two if he had been just a bit slower!
“This is… the ancient Way of the Sword!” Old Man Tianji exclaimed.
Lin Feng, who practiced ancient techniques, naturally knew a bit about the ancient Way of the Sword.
He wouldn’t doubt Old Man Tianji’s judgment, but no matter what, he couldn’t understand how a Core Formation cultivator could master the ancient Way of the Sword?
You should know that even cultivators of the Upper Four Realms would find it extremely difficult to comprehend the First Form of the ancient Way of the Sword in their lifetime!
At this moment, Lin Feng was completely panicked.
This doesn’t make sense!
Aren’t all his stepping stones meant to be slapped in the face by him?
But why is Jiang Chen nearly scaring him to death?!
Old Man Tianji was also a bit stunned.
He stared at Jiang Chen for a long while before he said inwardly,
“Something’s off about this Jiang Chen!”
“Do you even need to say that?” Lin Feng retorted.
Of course, something’s off!
If it weren’t, he would have been slapped in the face by now!
“Didn’t you say that Jiang Chen is my stepping stone?” Lin Feng questioned loudly.
“That’s definitely correct. He meets all the criteria of a stepping stone. It’s just that…”
“Just what?”
“For you right now, this stepping stone seems… too high!”
Lin Feng was at a loss for words.
Indeed, too high.
Jiang Chen was clearly a villain who love to boast about himsef, but he started off by maneuvering a spirit boat and bombarding him with dozens of spirit cannons!
He even brought out the terrifying Heaven-Swallowing Red Python Cannon to scare him!
Jiang Chen was clearly just stripped of his Core Formation, yet now he was at the Mid-stage Human Origin.
Jiang Chen was clearly at the Mid-stage Human Origin, yet he could comprehend the ancient Way of the Sword!
Nearly costing him his life!
All of this proved that the height of this stepping stone was such that he couldn’t reach it even if he jumped!
“Then what are we waiting for? Run!” Lin Feng urged.
“Although Jiang Chen seems to be drained of vital energy right now, who knows what other tricks he has up his sleeve? To be safe, it’s best to make a quick exit!”
Running away when outmatched was something Lin Feng was familiar with. It was embarrassing but he could always find a way to regain his dignity later.
But for some reason, Old Man Tianji just stood there and acting like a fool!
“We can’t escape, look above your head.”
As he spoke, Old Man Tianji made Lin Feng lift his head.
Looking up, Lin Feng was utterly shocked!
Because high above the spirit boat, there was an old man in a purple robe standing in the air!
“How strong is… this old man?” Lin Feng’s voice began to tremble.
“Very strong! At least at the Divine Passage Realm!”
Lin Feng was nearly faint with fear.
Being able to stand in the air, he guessed the old man must be a cultivator of the Upper Four Realms, but he didn’t expect him to be at the Divine Passage Realm of the Upper Four Realms!
The Upper Four Realms are divided into: Initial Insight, Fate Transformation, Divine Passage, and Nirvana.
The gap in strength between each realm is like an insurmountable chasm!
Initial Insight and Fate Transformation are still manageable, focusing on self-cultivation.
But Divine Passage and Nirvana involve comprehending the essence of heaven and earth, wielding the might of heaven and earth!
In the Central Domain, these are existences as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns! The absolute pinnacle!
Lin Feng knows very clearly that many Ancestors of the high-level sects are no more than this!
At this time, his cultivation was too weak, even if Old Man Tianji possessed him, and the combat power he could display barely touched the threshold of the Upper Four Realms.
Under such circumstances, there was no chance of escape!
“Now we can only fight to the death! I’ll capture this Jiang Chen to threaten that old man, making him hesitate to act! However…” Old Man Tianji said.
“However?”
“The chances of success are almost zero. The power wielded by a Divine Passage Realm cultivator far exceeds your imagination.”
These words made Lin Feng’s heart chill!
At this moment, he felt that he was done for!
“Jiang Chen, we have no grudges, and I actually never laid a hand on your underling. How about we both take a step back and leave it at that?” Looking at Jiang Chen, Old Man Tianji mimicked Lin Feng’s tone.
Hearing this, Lin Feng was a bit displeased.
After all, these words sounded like admitting defeat!
Back in the Lower Domain, it was always those villains who said such things to him!
But at this moment, he could only remember this humiliation and prioritize saving his own life.
“Junior Brother is joking.”
Jiang Chen said with a slight smile, “Since Junior Brother is preparing to join the Jiuyan Sect’s Ninth Peak, how could I, as your Eldest Senior Brother, hold a grudge?”
Upon hearing this, even Old Man Tianji, who considered himself to have deep schemes, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Creating such a grand spectacle, with every move being lethal, and yet you claim to hold no grudges?
Shameless!
“That sword just now was merely a slip of the hand.” Jiang Chen continued
