Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Golden Backed Mantis Star

As the Steward’s words fell.

Lin Feng’s eyes burst with a sharp light; was it finally beginning?

Lin Feng turned his head slightly, looking towards Nangong Linjue not far away, who was also looking back at him.

Their gazes, sharp as swords and sabers, collided fiercely in the void.

There was a chilling coldness in Nangong Linjue’s eyes.

Whoosh!!

The next moment, both men dashed towards the battle platform, standing thirty steps apart.

"Lin Feng, the moment has finally come!"

A cruel smile finally appeared on Nangong Linjue’s face as he taunted, "Are you ready to die?"

Nangong Linjue would not let Lin Feng go; the dignity of the Dynasty must not be trampled upon, and those who do shall die.

Today, in front of elder brother Duan, in front of all the Outer Disciples, he would slay this man who dared to challenge the Dynasty, right on the spot.

"Are you sure, you can defeat me?"

There was also a faint smile on Lin Feng’s face.

Clang!

Nangong Linjue drew the long saber from his back, the tip slanting towards the ground as he coldly said, "In the entire Outer Sect, no one can withstand my five sabers, how many do you think you can handle?"

Nangong Linjue’s words were filled with an invincible confidence.

This was the confidence ingrained in his bones.

Lin Feng smiled, his face full of smiles.

"Sorry, today, not only will I take your five sabers, but I will also kill you!"

The sharp light in Lin Feng’s eyes twinkled, filled with a surging killing intent.

"Frog in a well! Now, I’ll make you realize the gap between us!"

Nangong Linjue sneered with disdain in his eyes.

Immediately after, neither of them spoke further as formidable auras burst forth from them both, soaring into the sky.

Nangong Linjue’s aura surged like crazy, rising incessantly. The air around him erupted into a violent wind that ravaged the surroundings,

and his long saber, buzzing and trembling, shone brilliantly.

Lin Feng’s gaze remained fixed on his opponent; at this moment, he was no longer hiding his strength.

His body emitted a faint golden light, with boiling True Qi roaring within him.

Clang!

The Black Mysterious Sword was unsheathed; the raging True Qi poured into the longsword, even piercing through the battle platform with its sharp Sword Light.

"Master, do you think Lin Feng can really defeat Nangong Linjue?"

On the viewing platform, Wang Hui couldn’t help but ask the Iron Spear Divine Marquis beside him.

"The outcome is fifty-fifty!"

The Iron Spear Divine Marquis said indifferently, "This is also a test for him!"

Wang Hui nodded; indeed, the outcome between the two was unpredictable.

Although Lin Feng’s combat power was against the heavens, Nangong Linjue was equally unparalleled, and importantly, Lin Feng was only a Great Martial Master Fifth Layer, while Nangong Linjue was at the Peak of the Great Martial Master Sixth Layer.

While they were speaking, on the battle platform.

Chit!

Nangong Linjue moved first, initiating the attack, with the Sword Light piercing the sky, slashing down with a sharp, ghastly white Sword Light that split the air towards Lin Feng.

"Break!"

In Lin Feng’s hand, the Black Mysterious Sword flipped, releasing a burst of Sword Qi that blocked the opponent’s Sword Light.

"Die!"

Nangong Linjue shouted angrily, slashing his long saber repeatedly; the overwhelming Sword Light was like unleashed floodwaters, rampant and the ghastly white Sword Light cut through all directions, unstoppable.

Boom boom boom!!!

Deafening explosions continued to sound, leaving the entire battle platform chaotic with air currents, all swirling with howling Sword Qi and ghastly white Sword Light, their figures completely obscured, invisible to the naked eye.

Nangong Linjue’s saber momentum was at its peak; anyone less powerful than him would be instantly defeated by his momentum.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a figure soared high into the sky, rising a hundred meters.

It was Nangong Linjue.

"Lin Feng, even if you’re strong, you’re going to die!"

Nangong Linjue no longer had his previous composure, he was like a deity in mid-air, his aura explosively increasing again.

"Heavenly Cloud Breaking Slash!"

With a furious roar, Nangong Linjue’s treasure sword fiercely slashed downward.

This sword exhibited a shocking might that shook the very earth, and a terrifying Sword Energy of dozens of meters in length split even the clouds in the Heavenly Vault in two with its sharp edge.

The slash seemed to split heaven and earth apart.

"Wind Howling Nine Heavens!"

Facing such a terrifying strike, Lin Feng did not falter and countered with the Divine Wind Sword Technique.

Wild winds ravaged, rolling across the nine heavens; his Sword Light elusive as the biting cold light accompanied by endless gusts fiercely clashed with the terrifying Sword Energy.

Boom!!

Crack crack crack

The Sword Energy, tens of meters long, splintered apart, the aftershocks slashing down onto the Battle Platform, which instantly shattered into a mass of rubble.

"How is this possible?"

Seeing that such a fearsome move could not even shake Lin Feng, Nangong Linjue’s expression changed.

Lin Feng’s strength far exceeded his expectations.

It turned out that in the previous matches, the opponent had not even displayed half of his strength.

"Nangong Linjue, show me all the skills you have!" Lin Feng stood proudly among the ruins, shouting forcefully.

"Take my ninety-nine slashes!"

Nangong Linjue bellowed angrily and charged ferociously at Lin Feng.

Boom boom boom!!!

Clang clang clang!!!!!

Their offensive momentum grew faster and faster, clashing non-stop, each slash faster than the last, each sword stroke sharper than the one before.

The impact waves from the collisions of Sword Qi and Sword Light swept wildly, lifting the fragmented rubble of the Battle Platform into the high skies.

The disciples observing the battle were hugely frightened, retreating in panic and keeping their distance.

The figures of the two fighters became impossible to track; only the ravaging Sword Qi and Sword Light could be seen everywhere—on the ground, in midair, amidst the ruins of the battle platform.

One hundred moves!

Two hundred moves!

Three hundred moves!

In just a moment, the two had exchanged over three hundred moves and were still evenly matched.

"My god! Over three hundred moves, and they’re still evenly matched!"

"I can’t believe how terrifying Lin Feng’s strength is; even Sister Duan Bingye couldn’t handle Brother Nangong’s five slashes, yet he has fought with Brother Nangong for over three hundred moves!"

"Truly can’t tell which of them is more formidable!"

The square erupted, with countless disciples standing with their mouths agape.

Fei Kuang, Ling Muchen, and the others who had advanced into the top ten were also gaping in disbelief.

So this was Lin Feng’s true power.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, in the arena, Nangong Linjue’s figure abruptly retreated, quickly creating some distance from Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, I have to admit, your strength indeed surprises me!"

Nangong Linjue said solemnly with a serious expression, "But, if this is all you’ve got, you will still lose!"

Weng!

In the next moment, behind Nangong Linjue, a golden phantom rose into the air.

It was his Star!

Lin Feng looked intently and saw the opponent’s Star was a huge mantis, three to four meters long, with its entire back covered in golden scale armor.

The mantis looked fierce and dreadful, its broad forelimbs were like two big swords, glistening with cold light.

Ninth Grade Star!

With the release of his Star, a sudden burst of exclamations and buzzing conversations rose over the entire square.

"Brother Nangong’s Star is the Golden Backed Mantis!"

"That’s right! The Golden Backed Mantis is a very special Demon Beast, naturally a swordsman; its arm blades move more skillfully than the Saber Technique of a Martial Artist!"

"I’ve long heard about Brother Nangong’s Star, and seeing it today, it really lives up to the reputation!"

Hearing the surrounding murmurs, a slight smile emerged at the corner of Nangong Linjue’s mouth.

"Lin Feng, release your Star!"

Nangong Linjue said.
