CHAPTER 333: CHAPTER 332: THE PYTHON

Instantly, over twenty people shouted angrily and made their move against Lin Feng.

Another five or six people’s faces changed for a bit before, ultimately, they chose not to make a move and turned to leave without looking back.

Lin Feng didn’t try to stop those who fled; after all, he wasn’t a murderous demon. So be it if they chose to escape!

Clang!

The treasure sword was drawn once more, and explosive True Qi burst forth from under Lin Feng’s feet, rapidly charging towards the twenty-some attackers.

Lin Feng executed his movement technique to its utmost limit, his Wind Chasing Sun Boots shining brightly, making him move so fast he reached the peak of speed.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!!

Sword lights danced like water, ceaselessly flowing as Lin Feng, swift as the wind, weaved through the crowd, splattering fresh blood wherever the sword light passed.

None of these individuals matched Lin Feng in strength, not a single one could withstand his attacks.

Even when they joined forces, they could not manage to scratch Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s speed was too fast; they simply couldn’t lock onto his form.

Lin Feng didn’t clash head-on with them, instead, he leveraged his superior movement technique to kill them one by one.

In just ten breaths – merely the time of ten breaths – all twenty-some people were slain by Lin Feng, not one left alive.

As of now, of the Divine Wind Camp Disciples here, only Ling Muchen remained besides Lin Feng.

Ling Muchen was stunned! Standing dumbfounded in the distance.

For him, everything that had just happened was too shocking. Lin Feng decimated Xiong Yue with three swords strikes, and swept through the twenty-plus Divine Wind Camp Disciples like a breeze through fallen leaves!

Ling Muchen never expected the outcome to be like this.

The disciples from the other three major Sects around also had an incredibly solemn expression on their faces.

With Lin Feng being so powerful, what chance did they have of capturing the Seven-Colored Tongue Lotus later?

"Lin Feng, I didn’t expect your swordsmanship to be so extraordinary. If there’s a chance later on, I would indeed like to learn from you," said Xiao Qingfeng, smiling, from the side.

Lin Feng was strong, and it was because of his strength that Xiao Qingfeng wanted to learn from him; otherwise, Lin Feng wouldn’t even qualify to face him.

Lin Feng glanced at him but did not respond.

Then, Lin Feng turned his gaze to the Seven-Colored Lotus in the lake and asked Ling Muchen, "Ling Muchen, what kind of treasure is this lotus? And what dangers lie within this lake?"

On hearing this, Ling Muchen snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, "This is the Seven-Colored Tongue Lotus. There are nine lotus seeds on it that can improve a Martial Artist’s spiritual power and comprehension!"

"Oh?"

Lin Feng’s eyes lit up. To enhance spiritual power and comprehension – indeed, these were rare divine natural treasures!

A Martial Artist’s comprehension is related to their spiritual power; the greater the spiritual power, the higher the comprehension.

And as spiritual power is difficult to enhance, it only gradually improves as a Martial Artist’s Cultivation Level increases.

Thus, a treasure capable of enhancing spiritual power is even more precious.

In a little while, Ling Muchen continued, "In this lake, there’s a Level Three, First Layer Demon Beast guarding the Seven-Colored Tongue Lotus. Earlier, a few people tried to get close to steal it and were swallowed by the beast. However, the beast does not leave the lake; it only attacks when someone enters the waters."

After hearing Ling Muchen’s words, Lin Feng fell silent!

A Level Three, First Layer Demon Beast – although he was confident he could contend against it, to snatch the Seven-Colored Tongue Lotus under the guard of a Level Three Demon Beast was as difficult as reaching the heavens.

"Lin Feng, how about we team up?"

At this time, Xiao Qingfeng spoke again.

Lin Feng turned his head to look at the other party and said after a brief thought: "How shall we divide the spoils?"

This was Lin Feng’s utmost concern. No matter how they cooperated, the key was how the benefits were to be shared at the end.

"One of us will be responsible for holding off the Demon Beast, while the other seizes the opportunity to snatch the Seven-Colored Tongue Lotus!"

Xiao Qingfeng said: "As for the distribution, the Seven-Colored Tongue Lotus has nine seeds; whoever is responsible for dealing with the Demon Beast gets five seeds!"

Xiao Qingfeng’s original intention was to cooperate with his fellow Sect disciples to acquire the Seven-Colored Tongue Lotus, but now with Lin Feng, an expert here, he obviously couldn’t do that.

Because among the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples present, only he had the ability to barely hold off the Level Three Demon Beast, and the others would certainly not succeed if they attempted to seize the Seven-Colored Tongue Lotus.

Because Lin Feng would definitely make a move, and apart from him, he didn’t believe anyone could compete with Lin Feng.

"Agreed!"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and then nodded, asking: "So, who will take action to hold off that Demon Beast?"

Xiao Qingfeng chuckled and said, "Your strength is marginally better than mine by a slight margin; you should be the one to hold off that beast."

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Xiao Qingfeng, well aware of the other’s calculations.

If Lin Feng were to be killed by the Demon Beast during their battle, the Seven-Colored Tongue Lotus would belong entirely to the other party.

However, Lin Feng did not mind.

He had confidence in his current strength; a Level Three First Layer Demon Beast could not kill him.

If the other party wanted to play tricks, Lin Feng would ensure their demise would be even more miserable than Xiong Yue’s!

"Since that’s the case, let’s take action!"

Lin Feng said with a deep voice.

Immediately, Lin Feng looked at the tranquil surface of the lake ahead, forcefully stomped his foot, and shot towards the lake.

The Seven-Colored Tongue Lotus was located about five miles from the shore. Lin Feng was very fast; he stepped on the ripples and skimmed across the lake like a stream of light, within a few leaps he was less than a hundred meters from the Seven-Colored Tongue Lotus.

A distance of less than a hundred meters was just a single breath’s time for Lin Feng, and after one breath, he would be able to pick the Seven-Colored Tongue Lotus.

Just at this moment, the water beneath Lin Feng suddenly began to churn violently.

The next instant, a colossal figure burst forth from the bottom of the lake.

A monstrous creature emerged out of the lake water, opening its gaping maw wide, attempting to snap at Lin Feng.

Even before the enormous maw reached him, a stench assaulted his face.

Lin Feng did not panic; he was well-prepared and had been on guard in secret.

In this critical moment, Lin Feng twisted his body, forcefully halting his momentum, and with his body spinning rapidly, he surged upwards. At the same time, True Qi erupted from beneath his feet, blasting the lake water below into a violent spray.

A powerful rebounding force acted on Lin Feng, and his figure shot up like a rocket to a height of a hundred meters, evading the monstrous creature’s attack.

It was then that Lin Feng had a chance to observe the Demon Beast that had attacked him. What came into view was a giant yellow python, with a head the size of a room, extremely terrifying.

The python’s head had two lantern-sized eyes, emitting a fierce and cold light.

Its body roared with overwhelming Demon Energy, appearing suddenly and the horrendous aura was enough to chill one’s heart, unmistakably a Level Three First Layer Demon Beast!

"Red Water Python?"

Lin Feng immediately recognized the Demon Beast.

The Red Water Python was a relatively common type of Demon Beast, but those outside were mostly Level Two Demon Beasts, with Level Three being rare; yet this Red Water Python had reached Level Three!

Lin Feng knew that this must be because of the dense Spiritual Energy in Penglai Fairyland and the abundance of treasures in the land, which allowed this Red Water Python to advance to Level Three.
