Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

BANG!

He unleashed the Celestial River Nine Swords, sending a crowd of Cultivators flying.

Ling Fei's Celestial River Nine Swords was already incredibly fierce. The Sword Qi howled like sharp blades, capable of cutting through metal and stone.

Of course, if his opponents had also met him with the same whistling Sword Qi, his Celestial River Nine Swords wouldn't have held much of an advantage.

But now, these men were still reeling, their Heart Spirits shaken by the True Dragon Roar. None of them had fully recovered their senses.

To be struck by the Celestial River Nine Swords while caught off guard was to have no defense at all, letting the Sword Qi ravage their bodies.

How could they possibly withstand such an onslaught?

So when Ling Fei drew his sword, dozens of Innate Realm Cultivators at the very front were sent flying.

Even some of those further back were hit, suffering minor wounds as sword marks appeared on their bodies, dripping with fresh blood.

"Kill!" After wounding dozens with lightning speed, Ling Fei didn't hesitate. His body Moved with the Wind as he swept forward.

Then, his long sword flashed out again, striking at the Cultivators who had been blasted into the air and had yet to land.

His enemies were numerous. If he didn't use lightning-fast methods to kill more of them and weaken their overall Power, escaping would not be easy.

Therefore, the moment they had attempted to surround him, Ling Fei had already been prepared to strike with thunderous force.

This time, he didn't use the Celestial River Nine Swords. Instead, he relied on the most direct of moves: thrusts and lifts.

SWISH, SWISH, SWISH!

Ling Fei's sword was impossibly fast. With every strike, another person fell.

In the blink of an eye, nine more were dead.

Only when these nine had fallen did the people in the back finally come to their senses.

"This..." The men's eyes filled with terror.

It had only been a moment, yet seventeen people around them were already dead.

And these seventeen were among the strongest of the Cultivators present.

But before they could recover from their shock, Ling Fei struck again.

SWISH, SWISH!

Wherever the flash of his sword passed, bodies were sent flying.

His sword drew no blood. Anyone wounded by it was immediately invaded by Cold Qi, which inflicted Ice Seal upon their meridians and wounds.

"Quick, attack together! Kill Ling Fei!" At that, the men finally snapped out of it and charged at Ling Fei as one.

The men who had tried to flank Ling Fei from the left and right were especially fired up, as they hadn't been injured in the initial exchange.

Instantly, a total of twenty-two Cultivators from both sides rushed to kill Ling Fei.

The Cultivators who had been grazed by the Sword Qi but were not seriously injured because they were in the back also drew their swords and charged.

As for the wounded, they hastily retreated to the side to expel the Cold Qi.

Kill!

A great battle erupted.

Ling Fei was soon surrounded by more than fifty people.

AOOOO!

Seeing them charge at him, Ling Fei once again unleashed the True Dragon Roar.

The dragon's cry thundered, roaring out in all directions.

HUMMM!

Wherever the soundwave passed, it halted the Sword Qi that was slashing toward Ling Fei.

One by one, the Cultivators' Heart Spirits were shaken.

Against this kind of Soul Secret Technique assault, the crowd was completely defenseless.

The only solution was to get away from the soundwave to prevent it from invading their minds.

The soul-shaking soundwave did not last long, however.

This was because the technique was extremely taxing on his Heart Spirit, and Ling Fei could already feel he didn't have the strength to sustain it.

Kill!

Soon, Ling Fei stopped the True Dragon Roar, and with a flick of his long sword, he attacked aggressively once more.

Wherever the sword light passed, another seven Cultivators fell.

Celestial River Nine Swords!

After killing several more people, Ling Fei attacked with his full strength, unleashing the Celestial River Nine Swords.

Instantly, the Sword Qi before him dispersed, and bodies were sent flying.

Ling Fei's attack was a single, fluid motion, leaving his opponents with no chance to fight back.

However, after using the True Dragon Roar at full power again, Ling Fei's Soul Power was ninety percent depleted.

Now, he was truly becoming exhausted.

Kill!

But even with his Soul Power depleted, the True Dragon Qi in his body remained. He attacked with all his might, charging forward with his sword.

"Kill, kill Ling Fei!" The people from the Three Great Academies were now seeing red. With their companions being slaughtered one by one, they went berserk and relentlessly attacked Ling Fei.

The valley was instantly filled with crisscrossing Sword Qi and thunderous clashes. Bodies flew through the air as Ling Fei rampaged like a humanoid tyrannosaur, slaughtering all in his path.

...

'I hope he can get away from them,' Shangguan Yurou murmured to herself from a distant mountain peak, glancing at Ling Fei fighting his bloody battle.

Then, she left with Huang Xiaoman.

For now, all she could do was find her older brother, Shangguan Qingmu, and come up with a plan.

「Time passed.」

In the blink of an eye, Ling Fei had been fighting the crowd in the valley for half an hour.

By now, his clothes were in tatters and his long hair was a mess. A hint of fatigue had crept into his crimson eyes.

But the killing intent within them had only grown stronger.

Now, only seventeen Innate Realm Cultivators remained standing before Ling Fei.

The valley floor was littered with corpses, a chilling sight to behold.

At this moment, the seventeen Innate Realm Cultivators couldn't stop their sword hands from trembling.

'How is Ling Fei so strong?' The men's eyes filled with fear as they stared at him.

Originally, they had thought that with one hundred and nineteen people, they could easily kill this Ling Fei.

But who would have thought that he would use such lightning-fast methods to throw their formation into chaos from the very first move?

'My Soul Power is nearly gone. I can't use the True Dragon Roar many more times.' At the same time, Ling Fei's eyes flickered as his mind raced. After the continuous battles, his Soul Power was severely depleted, and even seventy percent of his True Qi was gone. His situation was dire.

If he kept fighting, he would easily fall into a hopeless predicament.

Then, with a shift of his Heart Spirit, he extended his senses in all directions.

'People are constantly rushing this way. I have to retreat now.' Expanding his senses slightly, Ling Fei discovered people approaching from the distance.

Ling Fei's previous battle with Liu Ming and the others had already alerted everyone in the vicinity.

Now that he had been fighting this group for half an hour, those people were beginning to gather nearby.

"Everyone, I, Ling Fei, have no grievances or enmity with you. Is it really worth risking your lives to fight me like this?" Ling Fei's eyes flashed as he stared at the seventeen Innate Realm Cultivators, speaking word by word. "If you still insist on attacking, then don't blame my sword for being merciless. Today, anyone who tries to touch me will pay the price."

An icy killing intent radiated from Ling Fei's body.

Instantly, the seventeen Cultivators felt their hearts tremble. They couldn't help but shiver, their very souls quaking in fear.

At that moment, no one dared to make a move.

Seeing this, Ling Fei's gaze hardened. He then said, "I will kill anyone who dares to follow!"

After leaving behind those cold words, he flickered and dashed into the mountain forest ahead.

In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the woods.

The seventeen Innate Realm Cultivators were still frozen in place.

Because they were truly terrified!

But just as Ling Fei disappeared from their line of sight, people came rushing down from behind them.

These newcomers were from Celestial River Academy, Tianyan Academy, and the Royal Academy.

"What happened here!?" these people asked.

Only then did the seventeen men snap out of their stupor.

"Isn't that Young Master Liu Ming?"

"The Dongyang Crown Prince... The Dongyang Crown Prince is dead!" Before anyone could answer, an uproar erupted.

Then, realization dawned in someone's eyes.

"It was Ling Fei! He's the one who killed the Dongyang Crown Prince?" These people had seen Ling Fei leaving from a distance.

Unfortunately, they had been too far away at the time to change anything.

Only now, seeing the Dongyang Crown Prince's body, did they realize the gravity of the situation.

"Just now... just now, it seems we were tricked?" At that moment, realization dawned on the seventeen survivors. They knew Ling Fei had simply intimidated them.

"Go! Let's chase him! Ling Fei must have sensed you all arriving, which is why he intimidated us and tried to escape! He only did that because he's exhausted and can't fight anymore! If we go after him now, we still have a chance to kill him and avenge the Dongyang Crown Prince!"
