Watching Lin Feng violently thrash Dong Qi, Zhang Qichu and the others felt their hearts race with excitement. After all, Dong Qi's side had many people, including Bai Yilong, a martial master. Even so, Zhang Qichu and the others found it immensely satisfying. They had already noticed Lin Feng, though young, was assertive and fearless, the epitome of masculine courage.
A man should stand tall.
A man should defend his dignity.
A man should never submit.
A man should never be a coward.
"Ah, avenge me, avenge me!"
Dong Qi lay on the ground, wailing pitifully.
"You're courting death, you're courting death, Lin Feng, you're looking for death," Situ Ley snarled, with a ferocious expression.
"What? You want a beating too?" Lin Feng coldly looked at Situ Ley.
Feeling Lin Feng's icy gaze, Situ Ley trembled in fear.
Situ Ley was also extremely powerful, undefeated below the Martial Master Realm before meeting Lin Feng.
But when faced with Lin Feng, he was overwhelming.
Lin Feng left a huge psychological shadow on Situ Ley.
So, though Situ Ley shouted defiantly,
in reality, he greatly feared Lin Feng, lacking the courage to fight him.
"What are you afraid of? Situ Ley, go hit him, hit him hard for me; I want to see if this kid dares to resist. If he dares resist, I'll personally take him down."
At this moment, Bai Yilong spoke.
Bai Yilong had no intention of letting Lin Feng go.
However, before finishing Lin Feng, Bai Yilong wanted to humiliate him thoroughly.
With Bai Yilong's assurance, Situ Ley felt emboldened, as if he had taken a calm pill.
Situ Ley walked towards Lin Feng, leering, and swung a slap at him.
Apparently, Situ Ley couldn't believe Lin Feng dared to retaliate at this moment.
After all, Bai Yilong, who was at the Martial Master Realm, had already spoken.
Would Lin Feng dare disobey Bai Yilong's words?
Bai Yilong gave Situ Ley courage.
Moreover, Bai Yilong indeed locked onto Lin Feng with his overwhelming presence.
Lin Feng could feel Bai Yilong's aura enclosing him.
It seemed that if he moved,
Bai Yilong's thunderous killing move would strike.
At this moment, Situ Ley's slap was about to land on Lin Feng's face.
Swoosh.
Lin Feng moved.
He moved as swiftly as thunder, as fast as lightning.
Lin Feng's hand opened, slapping towards Situ Ley.
"You dare fight back?" Situ Ley exclaimed in shock, trying to retreat quickly.
No one present thought Lin Feng would dare to fight back at this moment, making it surprising.
Lin Feng's attack was too swift, sending Situ Ley stumbling back with a slap.
Then, he grabbed Situ Ley by the neck and lifted him up.
"Lin Feng, are you courting death?"
Bai Yilong, realizing what had happened, shouted coldly.
"Ha, Bai Yilong, you truly think I'm afraid of you? It's laughable! Would I, Lin Feng, a seven-foot man, fear you?"
Lin Feng sneered, "You wish to let this waste, Situ Ley, humiliate me? Dream on."
"Smack."
Lin Feng slapped Situ Ley hard across the face.
Situ Ley screamed miserably with each slap.
It was as if those slaps landed directly on Bai Yilong's face.
Bai Yilong's expression turned extremely grim.
Yet, at this moment, he dared not act rashly with Situ Ley in Lin Feng's grasp.
"Quick, send the signal," Zhang Qichu whispered.
Su Zimo nodded, sending a flare into the sky, bright in the dark.
Witnessing this, Bai Yilong's expression darkened further.
This signal could draw Jialan Academy students nearby.
Lin Feng knew that with the signal sent, Bai Yilong wouldn't dare act rashly.
"Bai Yilong, take your waste back," Lin Feng sneered and tossed Situ Ley away.
Thud.
Situ Ley fell to the ground in a pitiful state.
"Good, good, good; Lin Feng, you're indeed something." Bai Yilong's face was ashen, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"Senior Brother, should we act against them?" someone asked quietly.
Bai Yilong said, "The signal was sent; surely, Jialan Academy students will arrive soon, no time."
Bai Yilong glanced at Lin Feng, and coldly said, "Lin Feng, in half a year is the Four Academies Grand Tournament. You better pray you don't meet me there, because if you do, I will make sure you die without a proper burial."
Lin Feng fearlessly sneered back, "The Four Academies Grand Tournament, huh? Alright, I'll be waiting..."
"Hmph." Bai Yilong sneered, leaving quickly with his group.
"Let's also go." After Bai Yilong and the others left,
Lin Feng and the others, with heavy hearts, gathered the bodies of the Jialan Academy disciples, erected a simple stele, buried them together, offered three bows, and left.
Gradually, more students from Jialan Academy arrived, their expressions mournful seeing the graves.
An elder from the academy arrived, solemnly saying, "Demons wreak havoc. If they are not eradicated, it might be our kin, friends, or lovers who fall next. We must fight the demons to the end."
"With my blood, I vow to sacrifice to the Divine Sword, slaying all demons plaguing the True Martial Country!" many Jialan Academy students roared in grief and anger.
The bonfire burned.
Lin Feng and the others sat before it, having just witnessed Jialan Academy disciples' tragic deaths, all silent, creating a heavy atmosphere.
Su Zimo felt they should talk about something, so he spoke, "Junior Brother Lin, this Bai Yilong is a top expert of the Bai Family's younger generation. You must be cautious. If you meet him during the Four Academies Grand Tournament, avoid confrontation temporarily."
The others nodded, clearly thinking it wise to avoid a head-on clash for now.
Lin Feng said, "There's more than half a year until the Four Academies Grand Tournament. You needn't worry about me. When the time comes, who will defeat whom is not certain."
Everyone was taken aback, surprised by Lin Feng's confidence. However, thinking of Lin Feng's talent, perhaps after half a year, Lin Feng could indeed defeat Bai Yilong in the Four Academies Grand Tournament?
Zhang Qichu and the others couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation.
Lin Feng sat cross-legged by the bonfire, gazing into it, recalling the scene of Bai Yilong slaying hundreds of demons with his sword technique in a matter of seconds. He still felt shocked, as Bai Yilong was undeniably a formidable opponent, his swordsmanship divine.
However, Lin Feng was not worried.
Lin Feng had absolute confidence in himself, with his talents and the cultivation of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique.
In half a year, defeating Bai Yilong would not be a difficult feat.
The night was as cool as water.
In the latter half of the night, dense clouds gathered.
In the distance, endless blood light surged across the heavens.
A towering figure suddenly stood up.
"Roar..." The towering existence roared to the heavens, shaking heaven and earth like a Demon God resurrected, its terrifying aura permeating everywhere, causing the mountains to tremble violently.
