Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Ling Fei's hand transformed into a Dragon Claw, tearing through Beichen Yu's Soft Armor and piercing his heart.

"You... How could you...?" Beichen Yu stared at Ling Fei, his face etched with disbelief.

He couldn't fathom it. How could Ling Fei have suddenly vanished from his spot, only to reappear behind him?

'He'd never even heard of such a technique!'

"In this Martial Arts World, nothing is impossible," Ling Fei said coolly. "In your next life, maybe you should prepare properly before you try to kill someone."

As he spoke, his Dragon Claw moved. A wave of Cold Qi erupted, instantly sealing Beichen Yu in ice.

The next moment, a torrent of Gang Qi burst from Ling Fei's palm, tearing Beichen Yu's body to shreds.

THUD! THUD!

Beichen Yu was slain, his body shattering into icy fragments that clattered to the ground.

It all happened in an instant, leaving every member of the Beiming Sword Sect utterly stunned.

"Senior Brother Beichen... is dead?" It took a full moment before the disciples of the Beiming Sword Sect snapped out of their shock.

"How can this Ling Fei be so powerful?" Liu Chen's brow furrowed. "A year and a half ago, he was just a Cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm!" 'Back then, Ling Fei hadn't even entered Celestial River Academy. Yet in just over a year, the boy has already grown this strong.'

'His future prospects were terrifying to contemplate.'

"Ling Fei, how dare you kill Senior Brother Beichen! His great-grandfather is the Grand Elder of our Beiming Sword Sect! There's no place left for you in the Southern Wilderness now!" The eyes of the Beiming Sword Sect geniuses turned bloodshot. Beichen Yu had been a prodigy of the Sword Dao, and his great-grandfather was one of the sect's supreme powerhouses.

Who would dare kill such a figure?

Kill!

"Kill him! Avenge Senior Brother Beichen!"

As the cries rose, the disciples of the Beiming Sword Sect attacked.

"No place for me in the Southern Wilderness?" Ling Fei's gaze turned glacial as he spoke, enunciating every word. "I, Ling Fei, don't pick fights. But if anyone tries to kill me, I'll cut them down, even if they're a Divine Son."

"Since you're all so eager for my death, then you can all die first!" The low voice emanated from Ling Fei.

In the next instant, he activated the Five Elements Seal.

WHOOSH!

The Inscription Patterns on the Five Elements Seal flashed as it shot forward with a whistle. The five Dao Patterns on its surface flickered with light, lunging forward like five great dragons.

Wherever the Five Elements Seal passed, the fierce Sword Rivers unleashed by the Beiming Sword Sect geniuses were obliterated by the power released from its five Inscriptions.

The geniuses were sent flying one after another by the terrifying shockwave, the sound of snapping bones filling the air.

PFFT! PFFT!

As they were flung back, they coughed up blood that glinted unnervingly in the air.

Against a Profound Spirit Treasure, mere Profound Pill Realm Cultivators were utterly defenseless.

THUD! THUD!

In an instant, all twenty-four geniuses were sent flying.

All of them were grievously wounded and on the brink of death. Sprawled on the ground, they were unable to get back up.

With Beichen Yu no longer there to contend with Ling Fei, who could possibly withstand the power of a Profound Spirit Treasure?

A Profound Spirit Treasure was an artifact that only Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses could forge!

It was only because Ling Fei's Cultivation was still lacking that he couldn't unleash the treasure's full might. Otherwise, they would have all been pulverized.

After crushing his opponents, Ling Fei shot forward, his gaze locking onto a single person.

"Liu Chen!" The deep voice came from Ling Fei.

When the Beiming Sword Sect disciples had attacked, this man's killing intent had been especially palpable.

"Ling... Ling Fei!" Seeing Ling Fei approach, Liu Chen's face filled with terror. He was gravely injured, with who knew how many broken bones.

Worse, his Primordial Pill had been shattered. The Core Pill Essence inside him was in disarray, rampaging through his body like a nest of giant pythons.

"Speak. Who told you I was here searching for the Celestial Fire?" Ling Fei demanded, appearing beside Liu Chen.

'At this point,' Ling Fei thought, 'there must be a traitor in the Lingyun Sect.'

'They might be people from the Great Tang Empire.'

'But without proof, I can't be sure who's trying to get rid of me.'

'Still, I have a feeling Liu Chen knows something.'

"Heh heh... Ling Fei, you killed Beichen Yu. Soon enough, you'll be hunted to the ends of the earth and killed by the Beiming Sword Sect. Ha ha! So what if you're a heaven-defying genius with the potential to be a Pill King? You've offended the Beiming Sword Sect. There's no place for you in the Southern Wilderness, unless you cower in the Lingyun Sect forever." Liu Chen flashed a savage grin. "I'd love to see how long the Lingyun Sect can protect you. How long will you get to be so pleased with yourself?"

"Whether I have a place in the Southern Wilderness is none of your concern. Right now, you should be more concerned about yourself. Speak. Who leaked the information to you?" Ling Fei's gaze was lethal. "If you don't... you die." As he spat out the last word, a bone-chilling cold invaded Liu Chen's body.

"Heh heh... Die?" Liu Chen burst out laughing, spitting out great mouthfuls of blood without a care. After taking a deep breath, he continued, "My Primordial Pill is shattered and my foundation is destroyed. I'm a cripple even if I live. Since that's the case, I might as well be dead."

"Ha ha! Ling Fei, you truly are a genius. Your Physical Power is unmatched in the Great Tang, your talent for the Sword Dao is astonishing, and now it turns out you have peerless talent for Alchemy, too. A figure like you is a rare sight even in the Southern Wilderness. I was originally worried that if we failed to kill you this time, it would only make you more cautious. But you killed Beichen Yu! How can you possibly live in peace now? I'll die first today and wait for you on the other side. Ha ha! I'll be waiting for you to join me."

"The death of a peerless genius... it'll be quite the show, won't it?" Liu Chen's face was a mask of pure malice.

The moment he finished speaking, he snatched up a Long Sword from the ground and plunged it into his own heart.

The Long Sword pierced his heart. Blood flowed freely. Liu Chen's body trembled once, and then he breathed his last.

'Dead!' Ling Fei's brow furrowed. With Liu Chen dead, getting any proof would be difficult.

'Even if I know who's targeting me, I can't act without proof.'

Shaking his head, Ling Fei suddenly tensed.

'People from the Beiming Sword Sect are speeding this way!' His Heart Spirit Sensing reached out, and he immediately detected disciples from the Beiming Sword Sect approaching from the distance.

'First, I'll kill these people.' A glint flashed in Ling Fei's eyes. He had no intention of leaving any of them alive.

After all, they had all seen his technique of vanishing on the spot.

'For Ling Fei, this was his trump card. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.'

"Very well, then. You can all die," Ling Fei said, a glint in his eye as he turned to the twenty-three remaining, gravely wounded disciples of the Beiming Sword Sect.

ROAR!

The True Dragon Roar echoed.

The sonic wave stunned their very spirits, leaving them no chance to escape.

Some had their souls shattered by the force of the roar and died on the spot.

"Sword Gang Like an Arrow!" Ling Fei raised his Long Sword.

He swung the Long Sword, and Gang Qi howled forth, transforming into a volley of arrows that shot toward the disciples.

SHING! SHING!

Wherever the Sword Gang Qi passed, the disciples of the Beiming Sword Sect were pierced through their hearts and throats.

Including Beichen Yu, all twenty-five geniuses were now dead.

'This Sword Shield's power is impressive.' With a flash in his eyes, Ling Fei drew the shield that had fallen nearby into his palm.

The Sword Shield was now only the size of his palm, covered in coiling Sword Patterns. The moment he grasped it, a fierce Sword Intent emanated from it.

This Sword Intent pierced straight to his core, making Ling Fei's very soul tremble.

At the same time, the Sword Intent within his own body stirred, seeming to resonate with it.

'What potent Sword Intent! It's actually making my own Sword Intent resonate. If I study the Sword Intent within this Sword Shield, my own will surely improve.' Beyond his surprise, Ling Fei felt a surge of delight. This Sword Shield was undoubtedly a Supreme Treasure. Without hesitation, he stored it in his Sodium Ring.
