The crowd's gaze turned outward, their eyes suddenly fixed.
Li Fei, the beautiful girl walking towards them, was the center of attention. But what surprised everyone was that Li Fei was accompanied by a young man, none other than Lin Feng, whom many had seen on the Life and Death Platform.
As for the voice just now, it naturally came from Lin Feng's mouth.
"Could it be that Lin Feng is truly Li Fei's man?"
Recalling Han Man's words from earlier, the crowd couldn't help but show surprise, glancing at Wenren Yan.
At this moment, Wenren Yan's expression remained calm, but a cold light flashed in his deep blue eyes.
"Are you Lin Feng?" Wenren Yan looked down at Lin Feng with a cold tone.
But to Wenren Yan's surprise, Lin Feng seemed to have not heard him. He casually glanced at him, then completely ignored him and walked to Han Man's side.
"Are you alright?"
"Just a minor injury, nothing serious," Han Man grinned, unconcerned.
"Don't be so impulsive in the future, say a few less words, and you won't die." Lin Feng glared at Han Man. This guy was really trouble-prone. He had almost been killed by Li Fei's gaze just now when he claimed Li Fei was his woman.
"I can't stand his arrogance, claiming Li Fei is his woman." Han Man said coldly, causing a flash of anger to pass through Li Fei's eyes as she cast a cold glance at Wenren Yan.
At this moment, Wenren Yan frowned. It seemed that this newly promoted inner disciple was extremely arrogant. He had directly ignored him, something that had never happened before in the Yunhai Sect. Even the elders of the sect didn't dare to be so arrogant in front of him.
"I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?" Wenren Yan's voice was cold, and the space in the cave seemed to chill. Everyone silently prayed for Lin Feng. Although this guy had a deep understanding of swordsmanship and extraordinary talent, he was still far from being able to compete with Wenren Yan. It seemed that he would receive a lesson this time.
"His mouth is his own, can you stop him from saying whatever he wants?" Lin Feng still ignored Wenren Yan, turning to Han Man. "Also, he said Li Fei is his woman, what's your concern?"
"...," Han Man looked at Lin Feng speechlessly, feeling no loyalty from him.
"I... am... asking... you... a... question." Wenren Yan's voice was cold, and a chilling air filled the space. In front of everyone, Lin Feng had ignored him several times, ruining his face.
"I heard you." Lin Feng turned around, glanced at Wenren Yan, and said, "You're asking me if I'm Lin Feng, right?"
"Hmph, so your ears aren't deaf after all," Wenren Yan sneered.
"Since you're asking if I'm Lin Feng, it means you don't know me, right?" Lin Feng asked again.
Wenren Yan looked at Lin Feng as if he were an idiot. Was this guy's head okay?
"Nonsense."
"Nonsense? Perhaps. However, since you don't know me, then I don't know you either. Why should I answer your questions?" As Lin Feng spoke, he stood up straight, staring at Wenren Yan. "Who do you think you are?"
With these words, a sharp aura filled the space, arrogant and unrestrained.
Insane!
The crowd saw that Lin Feng dared to confront Wenren Yan and thought he was insane, not cherishing his life.
Wenren Yan's face alternated between blue and white. For the first time, someone dared to speak to him like this.
"Lin Feng, you're shameless. How dare you offend Wenren Yan, you're done for." Chenxing stepped forward, staring at Lin Feng.
"Chenxing, the former number one outer disciple, with the Rock Martial Spirit, was once considered a genius. However, not long ago, in front of everyone, he was easily defeated by Linghu Heshan, a Spiritual Martial Realm first stage disciple of the Haoyue Sect. In my opinion, being called a genius is a disgrace for you."
Lin Feng said calmly, but just a few words made Chenxing's eyes flare with anger. This incident was a disgrace for him.
"This guy has a sharp tongue." Li Fei heard a few words from Lin Feng and stirred up the anger of Wenren Yan and Chenxing. She was secretly shocked. His seemingly light words were actually cutting to the heart.
"As for your comment just now about me being a kid who just stepped into the Spiritual Martial Realm, and that you can freely trample on me, then I, this kid, really want you to trample on me. Do you dare to fight in the Wind and Cloud Gorge, on the Life and Death Platform?"
The Wind and Cloud Gorge, on the Life and Death Platform, dare to fight?
Lin Feng's calm words caused ripples in the cave. He challenged Chenxing to a life-and-death battle. Once on the Life and Death Platform, life and death were determined by fate.
Feeling the sharp momentum from Lin Feng and the confidence in his calm words, Chenxing wavered. Having just stepped into the second stage of the Spiritual Martial Realm, he had intended to carve his name on the stone wall, but Lin Feng's few words shook his strong confidence.
Dare to fight on the Life and Death Platform?
The relaxed tone, like a heavy hammer, struck at Chenxing's heart.
"Why is he so confident, is it because of his swordsmanship?" Chenxing asked himself.
"Although his swordsmanship is indeed strong, Yu Hao's strength is not weak, but he was killed with one sword. Even if Yu Hao is a bit stronger, it would probably be the same result."
"And, I'm not sure if this is his full strength. If he is even stronger, can I deal with him?"
The inner struggle made Chenxing's face show a hint of distortion. He had already lost once, losing to Linghu Heshan in front of everyone. He couldn't afford to lose again.
"Ridiculous, you were once considered the number one outer disciple, valued by the sect after entering the inner sect. Now, you willingly become someone else's lackey. Just this alone, you no longer have the qualifications to become strong. A true strong person is firm and powerful in their heart, single-mindedly pursuing martial arts. Those who seek power and profit, their achievements in martial arts are limited."
Lin Feng's words made Chenxing's face distorted with struggle. He had fought hard before, being called a genius, but he was willing to follow behind Wenren Yan, which meant admitting he was not as good as Wenren Yan.
Could he still pick up the confidence and glory of the past?
Not only Chenxing, but others also pondered Lin Feng's words, feeling unsettled.
"This guy sees through everything." Li Fei's mind was in turmoil. Yes, those peerless geniuses, which one of them is not unruly and unrestrained, arrogant and domineering? How could they possibly be inferior to others?
"Chenxing, you submit to others, acting arrogantly but lacking
in will, not daring to fight. You are not a genius, but a coward." Lin Feng seemed to have no intention of stopping, taking another step forward, and his overwhelming momentum pressed down on Chenxing, suppressing his soul.
"Coward, coward..." These two words echoed in Chenxing's mind like a demon's voice. His face twisted, and he no longer had any composure.
"Ah..." Suddenly, Chenxing roared, covering his ears with both hands, running frantically towards the outside of the cave, disappearing in an instant...
In the cave, silence fell, and everyone stared blankly at the scene, shocked.
Amazing!
Lin Feng, without lifting a finger, just a few words, caused Chenxing's inner collapse, almost reaching his peak.
At this moment, everyone's gaze fell on Lin Feng, only to see a cold smile in his eyes. This smile was tinged with a hint of strangeness, and in his pupils, there seemed to be a black mist, unpredictable.
The Phantom Demon Beast, revered for its illusion techniques, now that Lin Feng possessed the Phantom Demon Martial Spirit, he naturally also had some proficiency in illusion techniques. Just now, he had used this ability. Of course, Chenxing's willpower was not strong enough, which allowed Lin Feng to crush his mental defenses with just a few words.
"Useless." Wenren Yan's tone was indifferent, his deep blue eyes like poisonous snakes, falling on Lin Feng.
"Although you have some strength, you are still too weak in front of me, like an ant. If you kneel down and beg me, follow me, I can spare your life."
Wenren Yan said coldly, intending to make Lin Feng kneel and bow before him, unable to raise his head.
