CHAPTER 444: CHAPTER 422 KOWTOW_2

Swoosh! Swoosh!!

Lin Feng and Nie Chong simultaneously flew onto the battle platform, Lin Feng on the Northern Battle Platform, Nie Chong on the Western Battle Platform.

On the Northern Battle Platform, Lin Feng’s expression was calm as he stared at Han Qianze across from him.

On the Western Battle Platform, Nie Chong’s face was stern as he looked at Duanmu Ying opposite him.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire Martial Arts Arena heated up even more.

"Haha, the winning streak of these two dark horses, Lin Feng and Nie Chong, is going to stop!"

In the stands, a young Martial Artist laughed.

"Lin Feng’s strength is definitely no match for Han Qianze. As for Nie Chong, while he is stronger than Lin Feng and is the second dark horse only behind the Ninth Princess, perhaps he could barely contend with Duanmu Ying."

"I think it’s impossible; both of them are bound to lose!"

"Exactly! It’s not that they are weak, but the strength of the top ten talents on the Hundred Extremes List is just too strong!"

The crowd was discussing fervently, all not optimistic about Lin Feng and Nie Chong, as the emergence of a super dark horse like the Ninth Princess was basically impossible.

On the Northern Battle Platform.

Han Qianze was nonchalant and said with a smile, "Lin Feng, your swordsmanship is fast, but, before absolute power, everything is illusory!"

Han Qianze didn’t take Lin Feng too seriously. At his level, fighting against those at the Third Layer was effortlessly easy.

His cultivation as an Earth Martial Master at the Fourth Layer Peak was enough to easily kill an ordinary Earth Martial Master of the Seventh Layer.

And Lin Feng’s cultivation was only at the peak of the Third Layer of Earth Martial Masters, so he could not possibly be his opponent unless Lin Feng could fight across four levels, which was entirely impossible.

"Absolute power?"

Lin Feng chuckled lightly, nodded, and said, "Alright, Han Qianze, let me show you what absolute power really is."

With those words, Lin Feng’s momentum surged skyward, his Sword Qi swirling around, and his aura instantly boosted tenfold.

"Earth Martial Master at the Fourth Layer?"

Han Qianze raised his eyebrows, surprise showing in his eyes; he didn’t expect Lin Feng to have concealed his cultivation.

On the viewing platform, hundreds of thousands of Martial Artists were also incredibly surprised, engaging in heated discussions.

"My god, I didn’t expect Lin Feng to have hidden his cultivation level!"

"With the strength he showed at the Third Layer of Earth Martial Master’s cultivation, now that he’s displaying the Fourth Layer, how formidable is that?"

"Amazing, even if Lin Feng doesn’t have the strength of the top ten, I reckon he should have no problem being among the top twenty!"

While the crowd was amazed, they still didn’t think Lin Feng could be a match for Han Qianze.

Han Qianze’s Nine Nether Cold Ice Technique was immensely powerful; even weaker attacks couldn’t get close to his body and would be frozen.

Elders were even more shocked; Elder Wei and the Second Elder almost had their eyes popping out.

Earth Martial Master at the Fourth Layer cultivation?

How had Lin Feng cultivated so quickly? How did he do it?

A little over a month ago, Lin Feng was still at the Second Layer of Earth Martial Master; in just over a month’s time, he had improved by two layers of cultivation realm, something the Elders found hard to believe.

On the Battle Platform.

Han Qianze was just a bit surprised and didn’t pay too much attention to the fact that Lin Feng possessed the cultivation of an Earth Martial Master at the Fourth Layer.

Despite Lin Feng’s extremely powerful aura, not inferior to a typical Earth Martial Master at the Sixth Layer, it still wasn’t enough for him to take seriously.

"Even if you are an Earth Martial Master at the Fourth Layer, you don’t have the slightest hope of defeating me."

Han Qianze’s expression was indifferent.

Clank!

Lin Feng pulled out his Spirit-Slaying Sword from behind, the sword tip pointing diagonally at the ground, and said faintly, "Three moves! To defeat you!"

"What?"

Han Qianze was taken aback and then his face darkened, the opponent was looking down on him like this!

"Such ignorance!"

Han Qianze sneered and shook his head, as if he had heard the funniest joke; he couldn’t be bothered to talk any further with Lin Feng.

Who was he? A peerless genius ranked sixth on the Hundred Extremes List—there weren’t many of the young generation in Hongyu who could defeat him. Even Wu Sheng and Huo Ling wouldn’t dare to claim they could defeat him within three moves, and yet Lin Feng dared to utter such wild words.

On the Western Battle Platform, Nie Chong and Duanmu Ying had already started a fierce battle. Nie Chong had also concealed his strength and now, with his full outburst, was immensely powerful, fighting evenly with Duanmu Ying.

The audience in the stands, initially captivated by Nie Chong and Duanmu Ying’s battle, was suddenly astounded upon hearing Lin Feng’s words.

"Holy crap, Lin Feng is so arrogant, he actually claims he can defeat Han Qianze in three moves!"

"How is that possible? Even Wu Sheng couldn’t defeat Han Qianze in three moves."

"Lin Feng is too arrogant; he has no idea how terrifying Han Qianze is!"

People shook their heads one after another, taking Lin Feng for an ignorant braggart.

On the battle platform, Lin Feng no longer spoke. With a step, he moved towards Han Qianze like a breeze, seemingly slow yet fast.

With a sneer, Han Qianze’s aura surged, and a terrifying chill rapidly spread out in all directions.

Wherever the cold air passed, even the air was frozen, and in an instant, the entire battle platform was covered with thick layers of solid ice.

The cold swept over Lin Feng. His hair, eyebrows, and clothes froze instantly, and the chill, penetrating through his Protective True Essence, crazily burrowed into his body.

"Shatter!"

Lin Feng kept moving, uttered a light shout, and with a tremor of his True Yuan, the ice on his body instantly turned to powder.

Boom!

Lin Feng suddenly shone with a brilliant golden light, like a golden figure, moving rapidly towards Han Qianze.

He forcefully tore through the frozen air, encountering no resistance at all, and the particles of ice in the air were turned to dust by the Qi Force of his movement.

"Get back!"

Han Qianze’s face turned cold, and with a flip of his palm, he struck towards the approaching Lin Feng.

"Nine Nether Cold Ice Palm!"

As Han Qianze delivered his palm strike, endless cold air converged to form a ten-meter-tall Ice Palm Seal that flew toward Lin Feng.

This ’Nine Nether Cold Ice Palm’ was a Hand Technique that complemented Han Qianze’s Nine Nether Cold Ice Technique, with immense power. The Ice Palm Seal was not only powerful in Attack Power but also had the ability to freeze everything, capable of sealing an opponent’s attack.

The cold air enveloped Lin Feng in an instant, the terrifying chill slightly slowing his figure, and his True Yuan showed signs of solidifying.

However, Lin Feng’s True Yuan was exceedingly robust, stronger even than that of a Sixth Layer Peak Earth Martial Master. His Nine Spirit Vortices vibrated, his True Yuan roared, and all the chill dissipated.

"Shatter!"

Lin Feng didn’t dodge. With a flash of his sword, the profound True Yuan from his Nine Spirit Vortices, combined with his powerful Physical Strength, was all channeled into the longsword in his hands.

Boom!

The Spirit-Slaying Sword slashed instantly onto the Ice Palm Seal, creating an explosion that shattered the seal into pieces, with ice flying in all directions.

Whoosh!

After breaking the Ice Palm Seal, Lin Feng’s momentum didn’t diminish, and in an instant, he was upon Han Qianze.

"Innate Infinite!"

Sword light dazzling, without any flourish, a single slash brought down an unrivaled, mighty Sword Power, striking directly at the top of Han Qianze’s head.

The exact same move, yet this sword was ten times stronger than when battling Duan Jingtian.

"What?"

Han Qianze was shocked, his face turning pale. The might of Lin Feng’s sword had completely exceeded his expectations.

Whoosh!

Han Qianze didn’t attempt to block, instead retreating rapidly, while simultaneously waving both palms, laying down a layer of solid ice one foot thick in front of him.

"What? Han Qianze actually retreated!"

"Lin Feng is so strong, he even forced Han Qianze to step back!"

The crowd was astir, not even exceptional talents like Ao Wushuang and Ninth Princess could tear their eyes away from the combat on the battle platform, unwilling to miss even the slightest moment.

Boom!

A loud explosion came as the sword light hit the solid ice, which immediately shattered, and the relentless cold air wreaked havoc in all directions.

Han Qianze’s figure trembled greatly, as he was sent retreating a hundred meters by the sword strike.

"How could you possibly be this strong?"

Han Qianze’s face underwent a drastic change, disbelief written all over it.

"The third sword will defeat you!"

Lin Feng’s speed was undiminished, closely following through. He was bathed in golden light, exhibiting overwhelming dominance and tyranny.

The Spirit-Slaying Sword was raised high, with infinite Sword Qi entangling around Lin Feng, a misty and sharp Sword Intention ravaged the void.

"Is that Sword Intent?"

"It’s actually Sword Intent, so Lin Feng had also realized Sword Intent!"

"Terrifying, another exceptional talent who has realized Sword Intent has emerged!"

The crowd was shaken once more. Lin Feng’s strength was already formidable, and now with the amplification of Sword Intent, how far would he reach?

At this moment, all eyes were on Lin Feng; no one dared to underestimate him any longer.

Even individuals like Huo Ling, Hong Qingtian, and Mo Yue slightly furrowed their brows.

Sitting in the stands, Wu Sheng saw Lin Feng manifest Sword Intent, and a dazzling gleam flashed through his eyes.
