Chapter 430: Flying Shadow Divine Art

"Brother Wei, this guy has a strange vibe about him," Yu Feng said in a low voice, his expression grave.

"Hm?" A flash of astonishment crossed Wei Xiong's face instantly, his eyes filled with confusion. "What do you mean by that?"

"Brother Wei, haven't you noticed? It's as if this guy knew we were coming long ago, so he set an ambush here early on."

Yu Feng stared fixedly at Lu Yu not far away, his gaze carrying a sense of scrutiny.

He had only just come up with this thought while pondering a countermeasure.

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiong's expression turned extremely ugly.

Thinking about it carefully, it really did seem as Yu Feng said.

They had decided to set off for Yongan City this morning; apart from the few of them involved, almost no one else knew about this news.

Yet Lu Yu appeared on the road like a ghost, launching a surprise attack while they were completely off guard, instantly killing Lv Hua!

Could all of this really just be a coincidence? Or was it that someone had leaked the information?

Wei Xiong subconsciously glanced at Yu Feng, then cast his gaze toward Tian Wei, who was slumped behind him like a pile of mud.

In his heart, he felt the possibility of these two betraying him was slim; as for the already deceased Lv Hua, there was no need to even consider him.

Then, could it be that there was a mole by his side?

But this was truly hard to believe; those he could arrange to be by his side were all his trusted confidants. What reason would they have to betray him?

Could there be another possibility? That this guy was originally from near Yongan City, and after killing him last time, he anticipated he would come again, so he had been lurking on the only road from Wuji City to Yongan City, waiting for them to walk right into the trap.

"I say, are you done discussing?" Lu Yu frowned and urged impatiently, "Aren't you here this time to seek revenge on me? I'm standing right in front of you now, so why are you all dragging your feet and acting so coy? What, is the person I killed before not your companion?"

"You!" A raging fire ignited in Wei Xiong's eyes. He looked at Yu Feng and said urgently, "Brother Yu, no matter what is strange about this, as long as we subdue this guy, we can extract any information from his mouth."

Hearing this, Tian Wei behind him couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. His eyes were filled with fear and anticipation as he also looked toward Yu Feng.

At this moment, his and Wei Xiong's lives—or more precisely, his own life—were all pinned on Yu Feng.

If Yu Feng could defeat Lu Yu, he would naturally escape a disaster; but if Yu Feng lost, this fierce-looking man before him would definitely not let him off easily.

"Brother Wei makes sense." Yu Feng hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly. "Since that's the case, then I shall make my move."

"Mm, this guy is all up to you, Brother Yu." Wei Xiong nodded in response, his eyes full of anticipation.

Yu Feng then locked his gaze onto Lu Yu.

He had a strong premonition in his heart that the opponent seemed to have already noticed his flaw.

His ability was Intangibility; in an intangible state, he could be immune to any physical attack.

But once he attacked, his body would shift from intangible to solid; in other words, the moment he attacked was precisely the best time for the enemy to attack him.

"So, is this guy fully confident in his speed, thinking he can launch an attack the moment I strike?" Yu Feng took a deep breath and pondered to himself.

To be honest, the level of difficulty of this mission far exceeded his expectations.

But now he had no way out; no matter how difficult it was, he could only bite the bullet.

However, in his view, although the mission was tricky, it was not impossible to complete.

Yu Feng's right hand shook violently, and with a crisp "Clang—", a cyan longsword over a meter long appeared in his right hand.

The blade shimmered with cold light, faintly emitting a biting aura.

"..." Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, a flash of surprise crossing his gaze.

A Martial Artist? Or rather, this guy was both an Awakened and had practiced quite a few martial arts Cultivation Methods?

This truly surprised him, but thinking about it carefully, it was within reason.

After all, not all abilities awakened by Awakened were of the combat type, and being able to become a B-Class Awakened meant that even if the ability was average, the combat power could not be underestimated.

Holding the longsword, Yu Feng flew toward Lu Yu like a bolt of cyan lightning.

The next second, a shocking scene occurred.

Only to see Yu Feng in mid-air, his figure suddenly splitting into two, then two into four, four into eight, and finally, he actually turned into sixteen figures, killing toward Lu Yu from all directions like a ghost.

Every figure's movements, expressions, and even the aura they emitted were identical, without the slightest difference.

"Good, so powerful!"

Seeing this scene, Tian Wei was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped.

He had long heard that Yu Feng of Wuji City had practiced a movement technique called the Flying Shadow Divine Art. Now that this technique was near Consummation, when unleashed at full power, it could conjure fifteen phantoms.

Whether it was their attire, speech, behavior, or even the aura they emitted, these phantoms were indistinguishable from the real body. Unless the opponent could accurately identify the real body and defend against it, they would surely die.

But wanting to identify the real body was easier said than done.

It could be said that this movement technique was practically tailor-made for Yu Feng, allowing him to occupy a huge advantage in battle.

Seeing this, Wei Xiong could not help but reveal an excited look in his eyes, and he stared viciously at Lu Yu in the arena.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides in the arena was less than thirty meters, and the sixteen figures were rapidly closing in on Lu Yu like hungry tigers pouncing on prey.

"The auras are all exactly the same?" A flash of surprise crossed Lu Yu's eyes.

He had originally thought that by relying on his Heaven-Human Induction, he could easily distinguish Yu Feng's real body, but he hadn't expected this move to be completely useless at this moment.

"He's panicked!" Seeing the surprise in Lu Yu's eyes, Yu Feng was overjoyed.

He had originally felt that this guy before him was strange, so he didn't strike until he was ready, but once he did, he went all out.

And just now, the look of surprise on Lu Yu's face clearly indicated that he had no countermeasure for this move of his.

"Just in case, I'll send you to your death."

Yu Feng's pupils shrank suddenly as he gathered all the three or four hundred drops of True Essence remaining in his body onto the tip of his sword, stabbing fiercely toward a vital point on Lu Yu's body.

The longswords in the hands of the other dozen phantoms did the same; some aimed at the eyes, some at the temples, some at the heart... For a moment, cold light shimmered and killing intent permeated the air.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down more than ten times. Yu Feng stared intently at the sword tip, watching it get closer and closer to Lu Yu's neck; finally, the sword tip struck.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound rang out, but it did not pierce Lu Yu's neck with a *squelch* as Yu Feng had expected; instead, it was as if he had stabbed into an incomparably hard bronze bell.

Yu Feng only felt his web between thumb and forefinger go numb, and immediately after, a True Essence even more majestic than what was in his own body came roaring toward him from the point of collision like a surging sea wave.

This force came so suddenly and powerfully, just like being hit head-on by a heavy truck traveling at high speed, and Yu Feng's figure was sent flying backward uncontrollably.

"Crack!"

While still in mid-air, the long sword in Yu Feng's hand could not bear the burden and shattered directly into countless fragments.

"Not good!"

Yu Feng was shocked and wanted to quickly let go of the sword hilt, but it was already too late.

A massive amount of True Essence surged into his arm in an instant like a burst dam, raging madly toward the depths of his body.

Even the tough meridians of a True Essence Realm Martial Artist could not withstand such a powerful True Essence impact, causing them to explode, and even half of his right arm was blown to pieces, revealing white bones.

Countless amounts of True Essence invaded his body like hungry wolves at this moment.

"Crack! Crack!"

Accompanied by a heart-palpitating sound of bones breaking and tendons snapping, fresh blood sprayed from Yu Feng's mouth like a fountain.

"Thud!"

With a loud noise, he fell heavily to the ground, his body lying there like a pile of mud.

He raised his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with terror, and just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, a large foot descended from the sky like Mount Tai pressing down, directly crushing his entire head until it exploded.

In an instant, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

Lu Yu looked at the headless corpse under his feet; he guessed what Yu Feng had wanted to say before he died.

Golden Bell Shield.
