Chapter 1004

Wait, no way!

Immediately after, Lin Feng seemed to recall something; he tapped the floor with his toes, his figure darting out, and in an instant he arrived before that wooden rack.

After stabilizing his stance, without a word, he took out a scarlet scroll in Yun Yun's puzzled gaze.

Then he placed it on that wooden rack, the very spot where a scroll had once been released.

"Perfect match, even the patterns line up—this scroll of the Tai Xuan Fire Formation was originally placed here, then taken by Dan Yi Tian, and after twists and turns it ended up in my hands."

Gazing at the scroll inscribed with the Tai Xuan Fire Formation, its traces perfectly matched those once left on this wooden rack; Lin Feng was struck as if by lightning, his mind in an uproar.

Immediately after, his gaze fixed on the direction of the ruin's center, he thought to himself: "Looking at the prefix 'Outer' in the names of these halls, there must be an inner hall within this ruin. Fighting techniques like the Tai Xuan Fire Formation belong only in the Outer Technique Hall, so what kind of techniques could be stored in the inner technique hall beyond?"

Thinking of this, Lin Feng's expression involuntarily became excited.

Immediately after, he excitedly looked at Yun Yun and said: "Yun'er, let's not waste time here; let's go inside, where there will surely be something good!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing his excited appearance, Yun Yun immediately gave up the idea of continuing to explore other outer halls and agreed.

With his agreement, Lin Feng, without a word, directly put away the scroll inscribed with the Tai Xuan Fire Formation.

Approaching Yun Yun's side, he took her soft hand, left this hall, and flew toward the center of the palace.

Afterward, the two ignored the surrounding halls and rushed straight toward the center of the ruin!

Because the two were extremely fast, they soon passed through the clearing they had seen earlier.

They arrived at the edge of the building complex separated from those outer halls by a clearing.

"Roar!"

However, as Lin Feng and Yun Yun just approached this building complex, a deafening beast roar suddenly rang out.

Subsequently, five massive magical beasts, each tens of zhang in size and of various kinds, rose from some buildings and appeared within Lin Feng and Yun Yun's sight.

"Hmph, if you had just stayed quietly there, it would have been fine, but since you came to seek a lesson, I'll grant you one!"

Seeing those beasts finally unable to hold back and charging out to attack them, Lin Feng let out a cold snort from his nose.

Relying on his powerful soul strength, he had already discovered the hiding places of those magical beasts.

Before, he had merely seen those magical beasts without them attacking him, so he had been too lazy to pay attention.

Now that they want to attack us, don't blame him for being impolite.

"Huh, strange—why can't I sense any life force in these magical beasts? It's as if they're dead!"

Upon seeing those magical beasts, Lin Feng's face instantly showed a deep look of doubt.

Hearing this, Yun Yun's delicate body paused, then she exclaimed in shock: "Husband, do you mean they're dead?"

While speaking, her beautiful eyes carefully swept over those magical beasts, yet she still found nothing amiss.

"It might actually be the case."

Lin Feng lightly nodded, wearing a thoughtful expression.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun immediately extended her slender jade finger, pointing at the five ferocious magical beasts glaring at them, and said in bewilderment: "But they look alive no matter how you look at them!"

No, don't be deceived by their appearance; I observe that their bodies are stiff, their gaze dull, and they have no trace of aura. Most likely, someone behind the scenes is controlling them.

Seeing his wife not understanding the situation, Lin Feng immediately extended his palm to signal her to be careful.

"Could it be that the owner of this ruin is still alive?!"

Thinking of this, Yun Yun felt goosebumps rise all over her smooth, tender skin.

If that's truly the case, then they have been constantly watched by a Battle Saint powerhouse.

This situation is truly terrible!

"Currently I still don't know who is behind this, but I feel the owner of this ruin cannot possibly still be alive."

Hearing this, Lin Feng immediately shook his head, rejecting her speculation.

As soon as his words fell, he pointed with his chin at the five magical beasts blocking their path ahead and said: "However, we can just kill our way through."

"Those two puppets will each take on one magical beast, you handle another—good practice, since after you entered the Battle Venerable rank you haven't experienced a proper battle. As for the rest, I'll take care of them."

"Okay."

Regarding his decision, Yun Yun lightly nodded her head to show agreement.

Subsequently, with a thought, the two dark-gray puppets beside her, whose eyes had been dull, suddenly flashed with a glint of light and then shot out swiftly.

At the same time, their battle qi surged rapidly.

Then each displayed the fighting techniques they knew in life, launching full-force attacks at the two distant magical beasts!

"Roar!"

Seeing the two puppets approaching, the two of the five magical beasts immediately let out a long howl toward the sky and attacked the charging puppets.

As for the other three magical beasts, they showed no reaction.

"As expected, these magical beasts are being controlled by someone!"

Seeing this situation, Lin Feng's brows furrowed again, his heart becoming even more certain that someone was currently controlling these magical beasts behind the scenes.

Otherwise, those magical beasts couldn't be so stiff, like puppets.

Without orders, they wouldn't do anything else on their own.

Meanwhile, as Lin Feng observed the beasts' movements, Yun Yun beside him lightly stroked her storage ring, from which she took the long sword Lin Feng had obtained from Lue Feng Zunzhe's storage ring.

Then Yun Yun lightly made a sword flourish, tapped the void with her jade foot, and her delicate body instantly turned into a faint light, flying straight toward one of the magical beasts whose strength was roughly that of a six-star Battle Venerable.

Immediately afterward, the two clashed in the sky.

However, although Yun Yun had just entered the three-star Battle Venerable rank, due to her cultivation method her level had reached the low tier of Heaven Tier.

Furthermore, Yun Yun still possessed the Shadow-Chasing Sword Art, Flowing Shadow Nine Heavens, and Faint Light Shadow Chase—famous techniques of Lue Feng Zunzhe that Lin Feng had given her.

Thus, in her fight against that somewhat stiff magical beast, Yun Yun was by no means at a disadvantage.

Especially in terms of speed, with the aid of the Faint Light Shadow Chase, a top-tier Earth Tier movement technique, she directly made that magical beast spin around in circles.

Only after Lin Feng confirmed that his wife was not in danger did he turn his gaze to the last two demonic beasts.
