Chapter 1821: Chapter 1855: Ambitious Youth, Daring to Challenge the Heavens
"Whoosh~"
However—right after the handsome guy evaded this strike, Shangguan Chong transformed into the Heavenly Sword and aimed directly at his back, unleashing his Killing Skill.
"Clang!"
But just as the Heavenly Sword was about to touch the handsome guy’s back, a crimson rainbow descended fiercely, intercepting Shangguan Chong’s deadly strike!
"Boom!"
From within the Heavenly Sword, Shangguan Chong was repelled several meters away, as divine glory descended. The Heavenly Painting Halberd arrived, almost invincible! Even the surrounding Elders were all shocked and forced back by its might.
"Ah!"
Shangguan Chong, shaken back, immediately raised his head and saw the person who appeared was Lin Zifeng! His face turned pale instantly.
"Shangguan Chong. Long time no see, hope you’ve been well!" As Lin Zifeng landed, the handsome guy quickly rushed over, allowing Lin Zifeng to land perfectly on its back. Riding it, he looked incredibly majestic.
"You finally came!"
After stabilizing, Shangguan Chong looked up at him without changing his expression. His eyes flashed with a cold, sharp arrow, neither joyful nor sad.
The surrounding Elders also began to gather together, all watching Lin Zifeng’s appearance carefully and nervously.
"Is he the leader of the South Heavenly Gate, Lin Zifeng?"
Shangguan Yaoyue, the Elder, asked.
"Yes. He is the leader of the South Heavenly Gate Lin Zifeng!" Shangguan Chong said flatly. Though he said this, deep down he already loathed Lin Zifeng to death. If he had absolute strength, he would kill him without hesitation.
"Indeed, he is young and ambitious, daring to rival the heavens!"
Yaoyue took a step forward, cupping his hands towards Lin Zifeng with a smile, "May I ask why you have come to our Shangguan Estate tonight? Our Shangguan Estate holds no grudge against you. Even if there were some issues in the past, our Shangguan Estate has paid a great price. Must you push us to extinction?"
Shangguan Yaoyue held a high status in the Shangguan Family, having made his name in Yanjing over ten years ago. Then he went into seclusion, being the first recognized talent in the family for a century, and the most formidable master within.
Even Shangguan Chong had to be humble and courteous in front of him.
"Hehe, old man, do you think talking so much now still matters? I imagine you’ve heard of the Heavenly Punishment Alliance’s deeds."
"Please, let me explain first. I’ve only just emerged from seclusion recently and have not stepped out of the family. Although I’ve heard some things about the Alliance lately, it was all manufactured by Hai Zhilan from the Hai Family. The Hai Family is the true instigator and our Shangguan Family has been completely exploited by outsiders. Moreover, the South Heavenly Gate forcibly annexed the Hai Family these past two days. I wonder if this matter can end here?"
Shangguan Yaoyue said with a smile.
Though polite in speech, who knows what evil lay hidden in his heart. As an elder of the Shangguan Family and a leader from previous generations, naturally his words and actions favored the Shangguan Family.
"Old man, just because you say you’ve only recently emerged from seclusion, we should believe it? Just because you say you don’t know anything about the Heavenly Punishment Alliance, we should believe that too? Cut the crap—old man, we’re all experienced and wise people by now. Even if you squat down, I know what kind of foul air you intend to emit. Back when I was roaming Huaxia, your mother was still changing diapers for you."
The handsome guy rolled his eyes, yelling with aged fury.
"You!"
Shangguan Chong was furious.
In fact, Elder Yaoyue had emerged from seclusion earlier, but had stayed hidden, only appearing in the backyard today because Lin Zifeng came to the door himself. His presence rallied the spirits of the people.
Morale is a curious thing, with a backbone to support, everyone’s spirits can rise sharply.
The reason the Heavenly Punishment Alliance was defeated was not precisely because its backbone fled and morale collapsed?
Shangguan Yaoyue’s face remained unchanged, curbing Shangguan Chong’s anger. Squinting his eyes, he recognized Lin Zifeng’s cultivation was not high. Yet, he possessed the unparalleled evil weapon—the Heavenly Painting Halberd—of immeasurable power and known as the ultimate killing weapon.
If forced to defeat him, the Shangguan Family would pay a heavy price.
No one expected Lin Zifeng to proactively come to the Shangguan Family.
No one was prepared for this.
"Sir Demon, I heard your legends from years ago, can this situation tonight see past my thin face, please? Moreover, our Shangguan Family has indeed suffered, would you truly push us to extinction?"
"Why not?" Lin Zifeng twisted his lips slightly, playing with the reduced Heavenly Painting Halberd as an embroidery needle.
This sentence suddenly made everyone present feel a strong killing aura!
"You Lin! Return my father’s life!"
Whoosh~
The Nolan Emperor could no longer hold back, currently as Shangguan Yaoyue negotiates with him, once they truly negotiate peace, it would not benefit the Ouyang and Nolan Families.
Therefore, the Nolan Emperor wants to prevent any reconciliation. Tonight, he aims to kill Lin Zifeng.
The objective of Shangguan’s negotiations is to avoid a battle within their estate, which would only increase their casualties, with no connection to the other Families—who would be so foolish?
"Nolan He was a despicable man, and his son is no better!"
With that, Lin Zifeng leaped into the air from the handsome guy’s back.
"Slash!"
With a shout, the embroidery needle-like Heavenly Painting Halberd quickly expanded and fiercely slashed towards the approaching Nolan Emperor, emitting a brilliant, dazzling Divine Rainbow.
"Pop!"
The Divine Rainbow descended, the Nolan Emperor struggled to resist, opening a barrier, but his barrier was no match for the Heavenly Painting Halberd’s power.
"Ugh ah!!!"
"Boom!!!"
Lin Zifeng raised the Heavenly Painting Halberd again and slashed down, a blood beam as thick as a barrel smashed onto the Nolan Emperor’s barrier, causing him to emit a tragic death scream.
Thinking he could resist, but when the blood light fell, with a loud pop, a burst of cyan-white smoke erupted mid-air, the smoke was thick and intense.
Blood and fragments filled the sky.
Puff puff puff... countless pieces of flesh floated down from mid-air, landing on Shangguan Chong’s face. Shangguan Chong reached out to grab it, to find it was Nolan Emperor’s bloody eyeball!
"Ah!"
Shangguan Chong gasped sharply in fright.
As the cyan smoke dispersed, Nolan Emperor was already dead.
Killed by an opponent at first encounter!
"What!!!"
The crowd retreated several steps, gasping in shock. None expected Lin Zifeng to be so ruthless! Killing with a single strike! And it was a Family Head!
"Enough pointless words, tonight no one from the Shangguan Family will leave alive. I said, those stabbing the backbone of the South Heavenly Gate will pay a heavy price!"
