Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Joining Forces to Suppress Shi Feng

"Clang!" Suddenly, a wooden qin appeared in Lin Yuexin’s arms, a resonant "clang clang" of the qin representing her unwillingness and anger. She, absolutely would not allow that man to take her beloved away.

"No! Sister Yuel Xin! Don’t!" Seeing the wooden qin appear, Princess Zi Yun hastily shouted in panic, but before her words could finish, she was interrupted by Lin Yuexin:

"Zi Yun, there’s no need to persuade me anymore, today he must die!" Having said this, Lin Yuexin no longer paid attention to Princess Zi Yun and, cradling the qin, sped toward Shi Feng at the mountain’s peak, breaking through the air.

"Sister Yuel Xin!" Watching Lin Yuexin’s white figure fly away swiftly, anxiety was written all over the beautiful face of Princess Zi Yun. At this moment, she didn’t want to see either of the two get hurt.

"Look, it’s Lin Yuexin, she’s made her move! She’s flying towards the mountain’s peak."

"Those martial artists are... they’re from the Four Great Families of our Heavenly Mist Empire, the Dongfang Family, the Huoo Family, the Jii Family. Led by Dongfang Jun, Huoo Yuan, and Jii Doujue, the three scions of the great families, they’re also breaking through the air toward the mountain’s peak. So many geniuses united, this kid getting the Blood-colored Stone Stele might turn out to be a curse. Heavenly Earth Strange Treasure, huh, such treasures don’t belong to you just because you want them, you also need to have the life to use them."

A martial artist who had been envious of Shi Feng obtaining the Blood-colored Stone Stele snorted coldly. In his opinion, this young martial artist whom he had never seen before, it was better for those well-known geniuses to obtain the Stele, so he would feel better about it.

"That person! That person is Wei Cheng from the Fire Cloud Sect. Oh my god, I didn’t know earlier but now I can’t believe it, almost all the geniuses of the Heavenly Mist Empire have gathered in this Blood-colored Forest. Dongfang Jun of Dongfang Family, Huoo Yuan of Huoo Family, Jii Doujue of Jii Family, Wei Cheng of Fire Cloud Sect, these... all are Four-star Martial Sect Master Realm powerhouses. Lin Yuexin, our Heavenly Mist Empire’s First Genius, even her Martial Arts Realm is at the Five-star Martial Sect Realm.

If I were this young man, I’d rather abandon the Blood-colored Stone Stele now and let these geniuses fight over it in order to avoid becoming the target and getting blasted into smithereens!"

"You’re absolutely right, if that giant was still here, no one would dare to fight this kid for the Blood-colored Stone Stele. Now that the giant has left him behind, if he doesn’t know how to choose, then it’s his own fault if he dies."

The martial artists discussed amongst themselves.

"Cousin, what should we do?" At this moment, Bai Yunshuang and the Bai Family Martial Artists stood atop the blood-colored trees, looking towards the mountain peak, one of the Bai Family Martial Artists standing beside Bai Yunshuang asked.

"Let’s just wait and see!" Bai Yunshuang only silently uttered these four words, his thoughts and calculations unknown, he continued to quietly observe.

In the blood-colored Void, the giant, blood-red Blood-colored Stone Stele, which had been violently smashing down toward Shi Feng, suddenly shrank rapidly while falling, in the blink of an eye, at Shi Feng’s mental command, it shrank to the size of a fingertip and landed in the palm of Shi Feng’s left hand.

And on the palm of Shi Feng’s left hand appeared a fingertip-sized pattern of the Blood-colored Stone Stele. The Stele had been thoroughly refined by him and moreover, it was according to the marvelous refining method taught by the Blood Demon. Now the activation of the Blood-colored Stone Stele was at his mental whim.

However, this Stele, he himself could only use three times, Shi Feng naturally was reluctant to use it. Slightly lowering his head, looking down below, he saw a group of martial artists, each with a sky-high battle spirit, a sky-high murderous aura, rapidly rushing towards him.

At least forty to fifty martial artists were present, and among them, the weakest was at the Realm of Martial King, with the highest being at the Five-star Martial Sect Realm. Shi Feng had already spotted the prodigy of the Floating Void Sect, Lin Yue Xin, dressed in white and cradling a wooden zither.

At this moment, the assassination intent emanating from Lin Yue Xin’s body was unmistakable as she looked at Shi Feng.

"If all these young geniuses were to be annihilated, it would be quite a thrill," Shi Feng mused with a taunting smile, as he saw the hundred martial artists hurtling towards him. The Bloodthirsty Sword had already appeared in his right hand.

"So many talents, if I were to drain their blood, absorb the Power of Death, and devour their Soul Power, I should be able to reach the Two-star Martial Sect Realm within the Martial Arts Realm, and my Soul Power should also break through to the sixth stage." Now that Shi Feng had broken through to the Martial Sect Realm, advancing through the Martial Arts Realm had become increasingly difficult, requiring ever larger amounts of energy.

"Kill!" Shi Feng let out a low shout, not retreating but instead hurtling towards the crowd at breakneck speed. Seeing so many rushing to their deaths, he considered their energy as nourishment, much like stumbling upon a treasure.

"Strum! Strum! Strum! Strum!" The first to rise was the zither sound reminiscent of clashing swords and charging horses. Lin Yue Xin cradled the wooden zither with her left hand and rapidly strummed the strings with her right, causing ripples in the void as the air vibrated with the Sound Waves. Instantly, these converged into transparent blades, lances, axes, spears... a host of eighteen different types of weapons, dense and innumerable, sweeping towards Shi Feng.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Following Lin Yue Xin’s lead, the battle cries rang out one after another as numerous martial artists began using Martial Skills in harmony, intending to first vanquish Shi Feng before contending for the Stele.

Huge Sword Shadows, fiery flames, Ice Hail, violent winds, lightning... A series of violent, dazzling and multicolored energies converged into an ocean of power, surging swiftly towards Shi Feng.

Around the Blood-colored Peak, martial artists who had not yet moved were watching the ferocious energy coalesce in the void, trembling with heart palpitations and struggling to breathe. Under such an assault, it seemed that even a high-level Martial Sect would be annihilated.

"Hmph!" Shi Feng, who was descending rapidly, faced the fierce tide of energy that seemed capable of devouring and destroying everything with disdainful snorts. The Blood-colored Battle Armor he wore shone with an extremely intense blood light, which rapidly spread in all directions.

Even though the seals on the Emperor-level Battle Armor had been fully released at this moment, Shi Feng couldn’t bring out its full potential with his current strength. Nevertheless, facing the joint attack of the Heavenly Mist Empire’s young martial artists, the strongest of whom were only at the Five-star Martial Sect Realm, he was still essentially invincible.

The first to arrive were the Sound Wave weapons condensed by Lin Yue Xin’s zither playing. However, these Sound Wave weapons, flying towards him, were instantly swallowed by the Blood Light as soon as they were illuminated by its radiance!

At this moment, Lin Yue Xin, who had flown to the forefront of the crowd, immediately showed an expression of extreme shock and disbelief on her face.
