Chapter 770 - 790: Powerful Star Slash Attack
Being burned by the flames at this moment felt like enjoying a natural shower on a rainy day for Chu Linfeng. Chu Qing’s cyan light shield completely blocked the flames outside, and at this moment, he couldn’t feel the heat of the flames at all.
Even without Chu Qing’s protection, Chu Linfeng’s fire transformation would not suffer any damage. Showing off the fire element in front of him indeed felt like a foolish act.
At this moment, the Grand Elder’s second attack arrived. This time it was a pure Sword Qi attack, its attack power extremely formidable, causing violent vibrations upon impact with the cyan light shield. Chu Linfeng was knocked back several tens of meters by this strike.
However, he still wasn’t harmed. Chu Linfeng truly witnessed the defense of Chu Qing. At this moment, the Grand Elder was somewhat dumbfounded. These two attacks were his strongest, especially the last one, which was nearly undetectable and had slain numerous strong opponents.
He hadn’t expected that this young man in front of him could withstand his proud strike unscathed, something too surprising to accept suddenly.
The people below, seeing Chu Linfeng so easily take down the Grand Elder’s attack, were astonished once again. Many of them were well aware of the Grand Elder’s attack power and now had newfound respect for Chu Linfeng, recognizing him as a truly formidable, hidden powerhouse.
The Lord of Netherworld’s face showed a slight change. Although his strength surpassed the Grand Elder’s significantly, easily withstanding an attack like Chu Linfeng did was not certain even for him. This clarified that the person should have the strength to contend against him.
If it were truly as Princess Yiyi said, that this kid only had the Fourth Layer of Saint Martial Realm, then it was indeed heaven-defying, reaching a point unbelievable to anyone. He also paid more attention to Chu Linfeng.
He hoped that Chu Linfeng could become his son-in-law, and even if not, wished to be friends with him. Such a person must not be offended, or it would plunge the entire Ghost Race into a dreadful doom.
Princess Yiyi was full of smiles at this moment. Chu Linfeng’s formidable strength made her proud once again, ensuring that no one would underestimate him from now on, which made their wedding plan secure.
At this moment, Chu Linfeng’s figure suddenly flashed; his instant teleportation was instantly executed, bringing him before the Grand Elder in a blink. The Cyan Frost Sword in his hand slashed out forcefully; all this happened in merely a blink of an eye, executing a Star Slash instantly, directing the strong Sword Qi attack toward the opponent.
The surrounding space showed a twisting phenomenon again, a giant sword shadow formed by Sword Qi appeared before everyone, and a massive pressure immediately emerged between heaven and earth, suffocating those with weaker strength, including Princess Yiyi.
The Grand Elder didn’t expect Chu Linfeng’s speed to be so fast, hurriedly swinging his sword to block. However, this hasty defense was no match for Chu Linfeng’s attack, and the terrifying power of the Star Slash instantly dismantled his attack, hitting him directly.
The Grand Elder was knocked back like a kite with a broken string, flying tens of meters away and unable to stabilize himself in the air, eventually crashing to the ground unable to get up for a long time.
A more terrifying crack appeared on the ground than before, stretching beyond sight, and countless dust particles filled the air, making it hard to believe it was real.
Immediately when the Grand Elder was knocked to the ground by Chu Linfeng, Chu Linfeng’s figure arrived before him, at this moment pointing the Cyan Frost Sword at his throat, saying: "Such trashy strength, yet you dare to shout at me. Today, I’m in a good mood and spare your life! If you dare to be disrespectful again, next time will be your doom! Third Layer of Venerable Martial Realm, so impressive? Killing you is like squashing an ant for me."
The voice was loud, and everyone heard it; at this moment, no one dared to underestimate Chu Linfeng anymore. They regarded him as an unparalleled powerhouse. Many have already changed their perception of Chu Linfeng, hoping he could become the Commandery Prince Consort of the Ghost Race, thus granting the Ghost Race more authority among the Five Great Races.
Afterward, Chu Linfeng put the Cyan Frost Sword back into his storage ring and walked toward Princess Yiyi. At this moment, the Grand Elder couldn’t speak a word, with all his veins broken and many bones shattered, including a bowl-sized wound on his chest, exposing his internal organs, many of which were also fragmented.
If it weren’t for his strong capabilities, such severe injuries might have killed him. Even if he could recover now, his strength would significantly diminish, maintaining at the Second Level of Venerable Martial Realm would already be gratitude to the heavens.
Similarly, defeating the opponent with a single move, Chu Linfeng’s formidable strength made everyone submit, except for the Lord of Netherworld. At this moment, after examining the Grand Elder’s injuries, the Lord of Netherworld was also shocked. Even he wasn’t certain he could inflict such grave damage with one strike, especially seeing the pitch-black edge of the wound on the chest puzzled him on the type of attack power it was.
"Carry the Grand Elder back to rest well. At this moment, I hereby formally announce Lin Feng as my son-in-law, and the wedding will be held in a few days!" said the Lord of Netherworld, showing no blame toward Chu Linfeng for injuring the Grand Elder.
Chu Linfeng responded with a slight smile: "Rest assured, Lord of Netherworld, since I’ve chosen Yiyi, I will surely be responsible for her, and I will do my best for the Ghost Race."
"That’s the best! That’s the best! This Ghost Secret Realm is a very mystical place, I’ve come here countless times, and every time I enter, I feel like the secret realm is changing. Do you mind staying to explore? Maybe you’ll gain some unexpected things, consider it my meeting gift to you, though it’s up to your luck, I wasn’t fortunate enough, never encountering anything," said the Lord of Netherworld.
Everyone completely understood the Lord of Netherworld’s attitude; he had completely ignored the Grand Elder. Now, having an unparalleled powerhouse like Chu Linfeng by his side, he naturally doesn’t care about a weaker Grand Elder. Although the Grand Elder had his contributions, his overbearing attitude always left the Lord of Netherworld speechless.
If not for his past meritorious service, his position as Grand Elder would have been revoked long ago, despite the ease it might cause controversial opinions. But now, after being severely injured by Chu Linfeng, his position could justifiably be revoked, which was indeed a heartening matter, naturally avoiding offending a stronger person because of his injuries.
Hearing the Lord of Netherworld’s words, Chu Linfeng was also startled at heart, "Lord of Netherworld, could you clarify, what exactly is within this?"
