Chapter 45 - Showdown.

After her birth, the empress gave her the name Xing Yi, which to her meant that being in the company of Xing Yi helped her feel calm and composed.

But after she strayed from her intended path of cultivation, Xing Yi spent a few years becoming isolated and alone before one of her brothers entered her life and began to watch over her.

"It was they who provided the sense of security within solitary me, who was denigrated by others, and that is why I train to develop a mind that will support my brother," Even if it means she will only have a mortal lifespan and nothing more, her desire to assist was made clear.

"But today, there was someone else who came in front of her in the time she needed, and not because of desire given as a lowly commoner, it was not worth fighting against Holy Sanctuary."

That's what Xing Yi thought, but Lin Feng wasn't worried about it because he knew the girl behind him had exceptional talent in just one area, which she will discover later and for which she will be dubbed the Saint of Wisdom and Will.

"Wait, are you trying to insult me, you brat from the lower world?"

When they heard that, almost all of the other members of the Holy Sect grinned bitterly while shaking their heads and surveying the irate faces of the people in the street.

"Are you trying to make us all cultivators from this kingdom or something, or are you also trying to challenge all the neighboring kingdoms?"

The individual's realization of the seriousness of the situation was sparked by Lin Feng's words, which caused him to turn and look around in anger while pointing at Lin Feng without saying anything negative about him.

However, this was a different situation, and as he looked at Lin Feng and spoke in a condensing tone, a small, creepy smile appeared on his face.

"You called me snake-tongue, and now you are using the same method to bind me, huh? It seems you are not strong either, so what is wrong with calling a mongrel like you a brat of lower caliber?"

"Haha, I just tried to make your words more simple, plus, as long as you don't use your sect authority around here, even I can beat the shit out of you."

Saying this, Lin Feng turned to face other sect members who were shaking their heads in his direction, telling them not to bother with their case.

At this, Lin Feng smiled triumphantly.

"Good, that means that you are prepared, huh?" Xing Yi was startled as two shadows suddenly appeared beside her and used the artifact, prompting her to look at her brother, who had appeared next to her.

Lin Feng, who was in the center of the shockwave and appeared to be in good spirits, nodded at Xing Yi's brother before turning to look at the talisman on the Rat-Eye man as a massive force field slammed onto the surroundings.

"This weight talisman has increased the amount of weight on me by three times, but it may be due to my qi purity that it is not being held back by such pressure."

Since demon cultivators began to appear, people in the sect began to look for strategies to combat those who were stronger than them.

They discovered the use of talismans, heavenly Dao intent, pills that boost strength, foods that can improve attack or defense, as well as a number of other techniques.

Another reason Lin Feng Power did not spark much debate was the fact that sect students are capable of performing comparable actions while using different methods.

"Well, this guy is not bad, and my dantian is still not fully recovered. So, I might be able to use only Yang Qi's feather to attack this time."

Lin Feng discovered that cultivating under pressure seemed to be extremely beneficial and was helping him condense his Qi more quickly.

"This is a good talisman; for the training, I might need to purchase them from the system." When the other launched an attack because Lin Feng was not at his best due to gravitation, it was the ideal moment to strike.

Lin Feng was thinking as he started to make the adjustment and pulled out his sword. In order to avoid being pushed back by the attack, Lin Feng released an attack using the second style of Ember after using his Pure Qi.

Flickering Flame.

Lin Feng's attack directly struck the pincer attack from the side, as he felt the overpowering force entering his sword from the other side.

He was pushed back, but was able to control his body to come to a stop as he looked at his shaking hand with a smile on his face.

'This is good.' Given that he had been pushed back for a while, Lin Feng murmured.

After all, even when engaging in combat with training dummies in the training world, he was never outmatched in terms of strength; instead, they always outperformed him in terms of technique and skill usage.

"Heh, you are very lucky to be able to defend me like this; I must say I have to compliment you for that one."

When the rat-eye guy started to act overconfident, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile and sigh quietly in his head.

With a sudden increase in speed, Lin Feng used his quick sword technique—which he had refined while fighting the demonic cultivator—to unleash an upward strike that Rat-Eye barely managed to avoid. However, the moment Rat-Eye relaxed his guard, Lin Feng struck again.

He ultimately had to use the defensive treasure on his body to be able to prevent himself from being killed when a downward streak came at him like a bolt of lightning.

"Huh!" Rat-Eye was perplexed as he pulled out another talisman that improved his agility. This time, his eyes were alert because the man was standing beneath a talisman that could increase his weight to five times the average because he was wearing it.

Even then, Lin Feng's previous speed was extremely quick, something he was unable to ignore as he stared at Lin Feng in amazement.

While shaking his head, Lin Feng explained that in order to release the previous explosive speed, he had to use the Yang Qi feather rotation art to improve his body.

When combined with his agility movement technique, this allowed him to release his previous explosive speed.

"These defensive treasures are surely irritating; I am not even able to strike properly once, and it was defended by an annoying thing."

Lin Feng muttered, as he looked at the other side party who finally came out of dazed state and was looking at him eye filled with the killing intent.

"Wow, that is some good fighting; this time we are seeing a genius from our side fighting those from the sect without any help from boosting trinkets."

The more time passed during the fight, the more people began to gather to watch them, and Rat-Eye's expression darkened as he turned to face Lin Feng.

"This is more than enough of the play; Now I will let you know why we are superior to you, the monkey from the lower world." As Rat-Eye pulled out another talisman, his explosive nature erupted, but Lin Feng could sense a threat coming from the talisman in that man's hand.

Lin Feng saw a dragon-like figure covered in golden Qi emerge from the guy's hand and swirl around it, enhancing all of his parameters and his strength.

Additionally, as the dragon began to rotate and cover the Rat-Eye's sword, the man's attack increased by a factor of five from what it normally was.

As soon as Lin Feng picked it up, he realized that he had to give it everything he had right now or risk being killed in the subsequent attack.

He began to concentrate the Yang Qi for the final attack as a result of pushing a feather out of the Yang Qi.

As a result, Lin Feng's body began to steam and hot waves erupted from his surroundings, damaging the talisman and making the Rat-Eye guy's eyes twitch in annoyance because he knew the next attack Lin Feng would launch at him would be the most potent one yet.

However, he was unaware that Lin Feng was actually holding back in order to protect his injuries as he was also considering how Lin Feng was able to achieve such results.

On the other hand...

"Get back; they are throwing their best attack." Many expert in the surrounding also jumped and protected people behind them, after all, if this attack was mislead, it might end up killing the innocent people in the vicinity.

7-Slash of Ember

Secret Style...

Annihilation burst.

This was the style that Lin Feng was able to develop while practicing with the Sword title and from which he eventually learned a hint of the concept of fire.

With that swing, Yan Qi disappeared as if it were being annihilated, but along with the burst, it destroyed everything, including the force field and the rocks and leaves on the ground.

It then moved toward Rat-Eye, whose two defensive treasures lit up, and hit him with that incredibly swift sword, sending him flying more than 20 meters before he fell to the ground.

losing his consciousness!!!

The attack includes a flickering flame-like body motion that makes it move very quickly, as well as the Flame Wheel's third strike, which has the strongest attack power.

As a result, claiming that it was the fastest and strongest attack wasn't a lie given that Lin Feng had revealed the secret art.

The fact that his leg was damaged and covered in blood meant that it did not, however, come without cost. Along with his hand, whose blood vessels appeared to have ruptured and were gushing like crazy, dripping his own blood onto the sword.

"Idiotic!!!" A shout resounded, and two expert cultivators jumped down as they rushed toward Lin Feng, whose hand was almost waisted by that attack.

Since it is rare to find a genius who could compete on an equal footing with sect students without the aid of external strength, any human would attempt to protect such a genius.
