Chapter 947: Liu Cang, dead!

Crack.

Shortly after the Five Cycle Separate Fire Disk struck Liu Cang's Myriad Nether Poison Body, a slightly clear cracking sound abruptly rang out in this sky.

Although that cracking sound from the distant horizon was not loud, because everyone present was extremely strong, the sound seemed exceptionally loud to everyone's ears.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone hurriedly looked over carefully.

They saw that the gray armor on Liu Cang's body, with spiderweb-like cracks, was continuously spreading across the entire suit of armor.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, the other people from the Heavenly Net Sect who had come with Liu Cang suddenly panicked and cursed silently.

At the same time, they began to pray that their vice sect leader could survive this ordeal.

Otherwise, if Liu Cang suffered any mishap, it would be difficult for them to return and explain to the sect.

After all, Vice Sect Leader Liu Cang was the third-ranking figure in their Heavenly Net Sect, second only to the sect patriarch and the sect leader.

If something went wrong, they would truly lose everything, down to their underwear.

Most importantly, this operation was to establish good relations with the Flower Sect; whether Lin Feng lived or died had nothing to do with them, not even a copper coin.

And if such a pointless operation cost them a vice sect leader, the joke would be taken too far.

However, Liu Cang, currently in the sky, had after consecutively using the Earth Tier Peak Battle Skill and the Heaven Tier Battle Skill Myriad Nether Poison Body, his fighting qi was almost completely depleted.

Therefore, even though he knew that if he did not replenish fighting qi for the Myriad Nether Poison Body, his defense would soon shatter completely, he could do nothing about it.

After all, with his fighting qi exhausted, he truly could not continue maintaining this Myriad Nether Poison Body.

"Boom!"

However, the next moment, Liu Cang's dark-gray energy armor shattered completely before everyone's eyes.

And Liu Cang himself, hidden behind the armor, was instantly fully exposed to the Five Cycle Separate Fire Disk.

"Damn it, I'm not willing to accept this!"

Seeing his Myriad Nether Poison Body shattered, Liu Cang's despair-filled scream immediately rang out across the sky.

However, just as his words fell, the enormous five-colored fire disk, over two hundred zhang wide, carried a tremendous roar and slammed heavily into his towering body.

"Explosion!"

After the fire disk collided with Liu Cang, Lin Feng in the distance suddenly clenched his palm and lightly uttered a word.

"Rumble!"

Accompanying that action, the next moment, the Five Cycle Separate Fire Disk that had struck Liu Cang exploded violently.

In an instant, the light emitted from the exploding five-colored fire disk made everyone within hundreds of li feel as if a new blazing sun had suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.

As for the surrounding cultivators, under the scorching light of that "blazing sun," they all felt a sting in their eyes and involuntarily closed them.

At the same moment the "blazing sun" appeared, a terrifying colorful fire shockwave suddenly spread out from the explosion point of the fire disk.

Shortly thereafter, in less than the blink of an eye, the shockwave mixed with the five kinds of flames, forming a colorful fire wave that swept outward.

The terrifying power contained in the fire wave made all the surrounding Fighting Venerable cultivators, even just sensing it, feel their hearts tremble with fear.

Before such a powerful shockwave, the space along its path was as fragile as paper, breaking at the slightest touch.

In the blink of an eye, centered on where Liu Cang had just been, a pitch-black void tens of zhang wide suddenly appeared, hovering in the sky.

Furthermore, this void continued to expand without any sign of stopping.

As for Lin Feng, who was controlling the explosion of the Five Cycle Separate Fire Disk, while that shockwave swept everything around, the space near him suddenly began to undulate.

Immediately after, his figure flickered, he dove into the void, and vanished from his original spot.

"Sect Leader!"

Seeing this, the Heavenly Net Sect led by Sen Luo Gui Zun screamed in terror at the ever-expanding colorful fire sea.

However, no matter how they called out, the distant fire sea simply continued to spread on its own, destined to give them no reply.

As the colorful fire sea swept everything in its path, the faces of the Heavenly Net Sect members also grew uglier with time.

After all, Liu Cang had not appeared for so long, clearly indicating that misfortune outweighed fortune.

"Damn it, Flower Sect, Lin Feng, Xiao Yan, my Heavenly Net Sect won't let this rest!"

Several minutes later, seeing that Liu Cang still had not emerged safely from the fire sea, the hearts of the Heavenly Net Sect members sank sharply, and they gritted their teeth.

Of course, these words they now dared only to think in their hearts.

After all, Liu Cang's life or death is unknown, and the strongest among those remaining is at most a six-star Fighting Venerable, Sen Luo Gui Zun.

If they were to shout loudly right now, whether they could return safely would itself be a major problem.

Moreover, the clash of battle skills between Lin Feng and Liu Cang attracted not only the gazes of those other Fighting Venerables.

However, at this moment, Yao Chen and the Dan Family Patriarch both withdrew their attention.

Having reached their level, they could naturally perceive many pieces of information unknown to Fighting Venerables.

From the earlier situation, it could be seen that Liu Cang's internal fighting qi had already been nearly exhausted in his previous battle with Lin Feng.

Under such a Heaven Tier Battle Skill at this moment, being able to leave a complete corpse would already be considered quite good.

Especially Yao Chen, after seeing Liu Cang's might defeat Lin Feng, his brow immediately furrowed slightly.

Although the Heavenly Net Sect's bloody methods and principles did not match Yao Chen's personality.

Undeniably, those cultivated under the Heavenly Net Sect's means have combat experience and strength far surpassing most peers of the same rank.

Especially Liu Cang, as one of the few strong individuals in the Heavenly Net Sect possessing a Heaven Tier Battle Skill, at full strength he could even slay a first-change Fighting Venerable.

Yet no one expected that in the end he would still be defeated by Lin Feng's hand.

"Whoosh!"

And just as everyone else stared in shock at that patch of sky, the fire sea gradually dissipating, Lin Feng suddenly shot out from the fire sea and reappeared in everyone's view.

However, compared to when he had rushed into the fire sea earlier, his hand now held an additional blackened figure scorched by fire.

Although that figure was blackened and burned, losing its original appearance, from its sturdy build of three to four meters tall, it was undoubtedly the earlier Liu Cang.

But at this moment Liu Cang had long lost his former arrogant attitude, looking as if he were a freshly roasted piglet.

However, at this moment Liu Cang was already devoid of life; even his soul and Soul Ring had been taken by Lin Feng, and the previous exotic fire had seared him.

Aside from the different kind, in other respects there was hardly any difference from a roasted pig.

"Liu Cang is dead?!"

Looking at the Liu Cang in Lin Feng's hand, the other Dou Zun strongmen present swallowed their saliva and muttered in disbelief.

At this moment, Liu Cang, in their perception, showed no sign of life.

This situation clearly marked that the opponent had already fallen.

They could hardly imagine that a deputy sect leader of the Tian Ming Sect—one of the continent's top sects, who usually slays Nine-Star Dou Zun strongmen as easily as cutting melons—

today, would actually die at the hands of a junior whose strength was only a Five-Star Dou Zun.

This scene made everyone present feel as if they were in a dream.

After all, the gap between Dou Zun Jian Feng and a Five-Star Dou Zun is enormous; across the whole continent, few can even reach a Four-Star Dou Zun level in the Dou Zun Realm, let alone slay a Dou Zun Jian Feng‑level strongman.

Moreover, Liu Cang himself was also a strongman capable of killing above his level!

However, Lin Feng's attention was entirely on Liu Cang's corpse at this moment; he had no time to consider what others thought.

After confirming there was nothing else on Liu Cang, he directly tossed the corpse into the Soul Ring and placed it beside the jade bottle that sealed the body's soul.

Having done that, Lin Feng instantly stepped his foot into the void, dashing wildly toward Xiao Yan.

After all, his earlier lack of interest in Xiao Yan was because Liu Cang existed as an enemy.

Now that he had dealt with that formidable opponent, it was Xiao Yan—the mastermind—who was next.

"Damn it, that bastard Lin Feng wants to strike me!"

The instant Lin Feng vanished, Xiao Yan, several li away, turned ashen, his inner alarm rang loudly, and a deathly shadow silently enveloped him.

Immediately, he spun around and sprinted at full speed toward the Second Elder of the Hua Sect.

After all, he knew that now Lin Feng had eliminated Liu Cang, the next step would surely be to strike at him, the mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore, he had to reach the Second Elder of the Hua Sect before Lin Feng could catch up.

At that time, under the protection of her Three‑Transformed Dou Zun, he would have a slight chance of survival.

After all, the aftershock from his teacher's clash with the Dan Family Patriarch was terrifying; even Dou Zun strongmen could easily meet death on the spot with a single slip.

After scanning the surroundings, he realized that the strongmen on the Hua Sect side might be able to block Lin Feng's assault.

As for the others, after he passes, he would likely be merged with other cultivators and be wiped out together by Lin Feng.

"Whoosh!"

However, the poor speed of the former could not match Lin Feng's; just after turning to flee, he heard a sudden whooshing sound tearing the air behind him.

Then, when Xiao Yan turned his head, he found that Lin Feng had, unknown to him, already arrived less than a meter to his left behind.

"Wan Gang Shattering Body Fist!"

As for Lin Feng behind him, the moment he closed in, his palm rose and clenched, golden light flashing continuously.

Immediately, his fist slammed hard onto Xiao Yan's left calf, the nearest part to him.

The potent energy in Lin Feng's hand, having no one to block it, poured entirely onto Xiao Yan's left leg.

"Ah!"

The next moment, Xiao Yan felt a sharp pain surge through his left leg, and he couldn't help letting out a mournful scream.

When he steadied the pain and glanced at his left leg, he instantly realized his left calf had already vanished.

A torrent of bright blood gushed uncontrollably from the exposed kneecap, spraying out like money from a broken bank.

As for Lin Feng at that moment, he quickly rose higher to avoid being splashed by the blood.

At the same time, Xiao Yan's wail successfully drew Yao Chen's attention.

"You impudent brat!"

Seeing Xiao Yan's left calf disappear and Lin Feng's attempt to strike again, Yao Chen's voice, enraged to the extreme, rang across the sky without cease.

The fury of a half‑saintly strongman also made the sky tremble violently.

However, Lin Feng had never heard such rage before; he simply kept his fist raised, battle Qi continuously gathering, intending to deliver a final blow.

After all, Xiao Yan kept causing trouble repeatedly; Lin Feng was truly fed up.

Having finally seized the chance this time, he wouldn't let the opponent go so easily.

"Whoosh!"

However, just as the battle technique in Lin Feng's hand was about to solidify, he seemed to sense something, abruptly braking and halting his flight,

Then he swiftly retreated backward.

At the same time, the incompletely formed battle technique he abandoned was hurled violently toward Xiao Yan.

Yet, just as the former retreated, the distant sky suddenly began to ripple.

Immediately, a massive energy palm imprint materialized out of thin air, slamming at the spot where Lin Feng had stood, at incredible speed.

However, since Lin Feng had already fled, the energy palm imprint struck empty air, colliding directly with the ground below.

"Boom—"

Then, amid a deafening blast, a massive amount of earth and stone were hurled hundreds of meters into the sky by the powerful energy palm imprint.

Meanwhile, the person behind, while launching the palm imprint attack on Lin Feng, also emitted another attack that neutralized the technique Lin Feng had thrown, preventing Xiao Yan from being harmed again.

"You little bastard, such a vicious strike! Last time you escaped with the help of a Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan strongman; this time, I'll see how you get away!"

Seeing Lin Feng successfully evade his attack, the man was not angry; his calm voice rang across the sky.

Immediately, a beautiful woman in blue robes arrived, accompanied by several female Dou Zun cultivators of considerable aura.

With their arrival, a vast aura that caused the battle Qi of other Dou Zun strongmen to stall spread, enveloping everyone present.

At the same moment, as the few appeared, colored flower rain began to fall from the sky, tightly surrounding the area around the severely wounded Xiao Yan.

As for those seemingly fragile and powerless flower petals, whenever they landed on the ground, they were like sharp blades, sinking straight into the earth, causing anyone who witnessed the scene to shudder involuntarily.

That's the Flower Sect's Qing Xianzi?!

After the few people ahead appeared, someone soon recognized the true identity of that woman in blue robes.

After all, anyone who could participate in this battle, or even safely observe it from the sidelines of a battlefield teeming with experts, naturally had a background that was not weak.

Therefore, after the initial surprise, everyone quickly figured out Qing Xiao's identity.

Qing Xiao, indeed it's this despicable wretch again!

Hearing the sound, Lin Feng instantly knew the newcomer's identity, and immediately cursed silently in his heart.

Of course, although Lin Feng disliked Qing Xiao intensely, he still retained some rationality, knowing that with his side's current strength, he stood no chance against her.

Therefore, as he retreated, he also remembered to swipe his finger over his storage ring, taking out several space jade slips from within and then crushing them.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

As Lin Feng crushed the seven space jade slips in his hand, a powerful spatial force surged out from within them, and immediately, amid a buzzing sound, seven slowly rotating black vortices appeared before him.
