Chapter 1357: Chapter 891: Fiery Stone Battle Souls
This kind of Fire Stone is called Fiery Flame Stone!
This is a Fiery Flame Stone Battle Soul!
"Red Flame Divine Fist!" Wu Lie roared furiously, both fists blasting out, the Fist Power like huge fireballs, wrapped in a vast and overwhelming might, crazily smashing toward the countless incoming Sword Qi.
On the other side, Wu Yu’er’s expression also changed drastically; her strength was inferior to Wu Lie’s, so the pressure she faced could be imagined.
"How can this be?" Wu Yu’er’s face turned pale, fear surging in her heart; Wu Chen’s strength made her feel terrified.
Could it be?
In an instant, a shocking thought rose in her heart.
A month ago, Wu Chen was killed by Wu Lie; even if by some fluke he didn’t die, with injuries that heavy, to recover would at least take a month or two!
But in this single month, not only had Wu Chen’s injuries recovered, his strength had also skyrocketed several times over.
Putting aside the sudden surge in strength, his whole person had changed—his bearing changed, his aura changed, even the Martial Arts he cultivated had changed!
What did this imply?
It implied that the Wu Chen before her very likely wasn’t Wu Chen at all!
This thought made Wu Yu’er lose all color in shock, but with Sword Qi blotting out the sky about to swallow her, she simply had no time to think further.
Swish!
In the split second of lightning and flint, Wu Yu’er didn’t dare hold back in the slightest. The light of the Sword in her hand flashed, a phantom rose behind her back, and she likewise instantly released her own Battle Soul.
Wu Yu’er’s Battle Soul was a graceful little Sword about two feet long; the moment the Battle Soul appeared, it merged into the Longsword in her hand.
Swish!
With a sweep of her Longsword, a ribbon-like Sword Qi slashed out, rending everything, hacking toward the Sword Qi that filled the sky.
Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er both unleashed their Peak strength, attempting to block Lin Feng’s killing strike.
One could say the two of them were quite strong. Though they weren’t counted as geniuses, when joining forces they could still exchange two or three moves even with an average Martial Emperor Realm Fifth Layer Martial Artist.
However, they just happened to run into Lin Feng. Though their strength was decent, they were unable to fully bring it out.
At the very instant the two of them struck, Lin Feng slightly urged his Devouring Battle Soul, and a powerful Devouring Power instantly enveloped them both.
Because there was an Array Formation Shield isolating the Battle Platform, Lin Feng wasn’t afraid to use the Devouring Battle Soul; as long as it wasn’t too obvious, Wu Tianyu and the others simply wouldn’t be able to detect it.
Of course, those like Wu Tianyu who had been to the Heavenly Vault World, even if they saw the Devouring Battle Soul, might not be able to recognize it.
Those people had only experienced the Devouring Power; they had never seen the true appearance of the Devouring Battle Soul.
The formless Devouring Power shrouded Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er; the two of them trembled all over. Their bodies, Qi-Blood, Dark Power, Battle Souls—everything—came under the fierce influence of the Devouring Power.
In an instant, the power of the attacks they had unleashed plummeted by more than half.
"No!"
Realizing this, the two of them cried out in terror.
However, they simply couldn’t react in time. In the next breath, the Sword Qi that covered the heavens swept through, shredding everything; the Flame Fist Power and the ribbon-like Sword Qi were all ground apart, exploding violently and turning into surging shockwaves that swept in all directions.
The densely packed, jet-black Sword Qi instantly drowned the bodies of Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er.
Chi chi chi!!!
Endless Sword Qi cleaved past; blood rain and reeking wind erupted, blood arrows shooting skyward like fountains and splattering onto the Array Formation Shield.
The two of them didn’t even have time to let out a single miserable scream before they were instantly minced into pieces, turning into drifting scraps that filled the sky, accompanied by the Dark Power pouring out of their bodies and shooting in all directions.
Lin Feng’s eyes were sharp and his hands fast. With one step, his figure shot out like a Sword, directly plunging into the storm of shockwaves, and in an instant he devoured Wu Lie’s Fiery Flame Stone Battle Soul.
As for Wu Yu’er’s Battle Soul, which had merged into her Longsword, it had already been completely annihilated in the violent collision just now.
Lin Feng wasn’t worried about being discovered either, because the Battle Platform was in complete chaos—shockwaves roared, Demonic Qi churned and swept in all directions. His devouring of the Fiery Flame Stone Battle Soul took only a split second; it was utterly impossible for anyone to notice.
After a short while, the shockwaves slowly dissipated, and the Battle Platform completely returned to calm.
Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er had already been utterly erased, leaving only the thin and small body of "Wu Chen" standing straight on the Battle Platform.
The entire Martial Arts Arena was deathly silent, everyone’s face blank with shock.
The whole battle had taken less than a single breath of time, and it was already over.
And the outcome of the battle was completely opposite to what everyone had expected.
Wu Chen, at the Third Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm, killed Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er, who were at the Fourth Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm, in the span of a single breath!
This was simply far beyond everyone’s expectations!
Moments later, the entire Martial Arts Arena exploded into an uproar, shouts and cries of shock roaring into the sky.
"How is that possible? How can Wu Chen be this strong?"
"What Demon Technique did he cultivate?"
"This Wu Chen is actually so powerful? Why have we never heard of him before?"
"What terrifying Sword Power! Fighting above his level, one against two, and he finished it with a mere wave of his hand!"
"No wonder he was so fearless!
The crowd discussed heatedly, all of them staring at Lin Feng in disbelief.
A man whose name had been unknown and whose Talent had always been mediocre suddenly rose up; the impact this brought to everyone was enormous.
Of course, besides shock, many people’s expressions turned gloomy.
A lot of them had been hoping for Wu Chen’s death; after all, Wu Chen was a beast in human skin, utterly despicable.
But now not only had Wu Chen not died, he had instead killed Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er. How were they supposed to accept that!
Wu Tianyu’s face was expressionless, his eyes slightly narrowed as he stared fixedly at Lin Feng on the Battle Platform.
He hadn’t expected this Wu Chen to actually possess such strength, because even if he himself made a move, he had no confidence he could finish off Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er so quickly.
Of course, his Cultivation was only at the Second Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm, one Realm lower than Wu Chen.
But regardless, Wu Chen’s strength was in no way inferior to his, if not stronger.
Gazing at Wu Chen’s back, a sudden sense of familiarity rose abruptly in Wu Tianyu’s heart, but as for what exactly felt familiar, he couldn’t say.
On the Battle Platform, after completely beheading Wu Lie and Wu Yu’er, Lin Feng secretly let out a sigh of relief.
With these two dead, the possibility of his identity being exposed had been greatly reduced.
A short while later, the Array Formation Shield over the Battle Platform opened, and Lin Feng’s figure flickered as he flew down from the platform.
Immediately afterward, Lin Feng did not linger and strode straight toward the exit of the Martial Arts Arena.
"Stop!"
Just as Lin Feng was about to walk out of the Martial Arts Arena, a furious shout suddenly rang out, shaking the field of vision.
Hearing this, Lin Feng turned his head and saw a tall middle-aged man on the stands rise to his feet.
This man’s features bore three points of resemblance to Wu Lie’s; with just a single thought, Lin Feng already knew this person’s identity.
This was an ordinary Elder of the Witch Clan, seemingly named Wu Yuan, Wu Lie’s uncle.
At this moment, the middle-aged man’s body trembled slightly, his face iron-blue to the extreme, his aura surging without end, and his eyes, as he looked at Lin Feng, were filled with intense killing intent.
"Wu Chen, you killed Lie’er, and you think you can just walk away like this?" Wu Yuan shouted angrily. As Wu Lie’s uncle, he naturally could not allow Wu Lie to die just like that; otherwise, when his big brother returned in the future, how would he explain!
"What? The Martial Arts Arena is a place of fair competition. Wu Lie’s skills were inferior to mine; he deserved to die. Could it be you intend to violate clan rules and avenge him?" Lin Feng said with a cold laugh. Even though the other party was an Elder, he was not afraid in the slightest.
The Witch Clan’s clan rules were extremely strict; the other party simply wouldn’t dare violate them so blatantly in front of everyone.
Of course, Lin Feng was playing with fire; it would be all too easy for the flames to burn him, and a single misstep could bring about a calamity of annihilation.
But he had already thrown caution to the wind. Having come to the Witch Clan this time, he would not stop until he achieved his goal.
Either he would die miserably within the Witch Clan, or he would rise within the Witch Clan and then turn the entire clan upside down.
"Hmph! You little beast, you’re a beast in human skin; everyone has the right to kill you. Why would this Elder need to personally take action!"
Wu Yuan snorted coldly, then swept his gaze around and said loudly, "This beast Wu Chen, alive, is also a disgrace to our clan. Whichever junior is willing to challenge him and cut him down, this Elder will reward you with ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals!"
As soon as Wu Yuan said this, the scene fell silent for an instant. Many people sucked in a cold breath, their breathing unconsciously growing rapid.
Ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals—that was a massive fortune!
For an ordinary Martial Emperor Realm Martial Artist, ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals were enough to last for several years; they wouldn’t have to worry about Spirit Crystals for years!
Many people’s hearts were shaken. They had already detested Wu Chen’s beast-like conduct and had been hoping for Wu Chen’s death.
Now that Wu Yuan had offered such a reward, many of them were tempted!
