Ling Feng fought single-handedly against the three Heavenly Ranked powerhouses, demonstrating a power that left everyone present in shock. With his right hand holding the sword and his left hand lifting the wine gourd, he slashed out with one sword strike while taking a hearty gulp of alcohol.
He exuded a carefree and bold demeanor.
Yet, the overwhelming, chilling, and magnificent sword aura he unleashed made even the Heavenly Ranked powerhouses feel fear. The spectators were dumbfounded.
Some couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Others watched with admiration and awe.
In the crowd, some women gazed with sparkling eyes, revealing their admiration.
Even female warriors from rival sects felt their hearts flutter at this moment.
"What a powerful individual!"
"This Ling Feng truly seems like an immortal descended from the heavens!"
"A gentleman as graceful as jade, unmatched in the world! Having seen him today, there will be no one else worthy of my gaze in the future. Alas, what a pity!"
"If only I were younger, I would have pursued him!"
"Alright, you all need to stop fawning! The Palace Master and the others are currently battling Ling Feng; that kid is surely doomed."
"But from the looks of it, our leaders seem to be at a disadvantage…"
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
Initially, they thought it would be easy for the three Heavenly Ranked powerhouses to deal with a single Ling Feng. But what was happening now?
At first, the three were able to suppress Ling Feng.
Yet, once he unleashed the Celestial King's Form, they found themselves being overwhelmed.
"Everyone, let's not hold back any longer. We must go all out!"
The Earth Dragon Hall Master said coldly.
He understood that if they continued fighting like this, they would never be able to kill Ling Feng.
However, as Heavenly Ranked powerhouses, they had their trump cards.
These techniques were not to be used lightly, but now, to eliminate Ling Feng, they had no choice.
With a low shout, the Earth Dragon Hall Master unleashed a torrent of true energy that surged forth like a wild tide, merging with the surrounding dust to form a ferocious Earth Dragon.
This Earth Dragon was several times stronger than the one he had summoned earlier!
Its massive form overshadowed even the Celestial King's Form!
It blotted out the sun, making the onlookers feel as tiny as ants before its might!
"This is the ninth layer of the Earth Dragon Technique!"
"I never imagined the Earth Dragon Hall Master had silently cultivated this supreme technique to such a level. Truly formidable!"
The Tianwu Sect Master and the Huang Jiguang Palace Master narrowed their eyes at the sight.
Looking again at the imposing Ling Feng, they realized they could not afford to be careless.
They each took out their trump cards.
The Tianwu Sect Master tossed the Autumn Water Sword into the air, his gaze sharpening as the sword aura around him began to retract and condense, forming a complete… Sword Intent!!
Sword Intent!
The power beyond sword aura!
"What? The Tianwu Sect Master has comprehended Sword Intent?!"
"How impressive! No wonder he is considered one of the strongest sword cultivators under the Heavenly Sword Saint. Even the Sword Master of the Sword Hidden Mountain might not be his match."
Once the Sword Intent was unleashed, the swords in the hands of various sword practitioners began to tremble involuntarily.
They looked at the Tianwu Sect Master with deep apprehension in their eyes.
On the other side, the Huang Jiguang Palace Master laughed heartily after seeing the two use their secret techniques. "Now that you've both reached this point, how can I continue to hide?"
"Golden Lion Fighting Qi! Unleash!"
Boom!!
A golden true energy erupted from the Huang Jiguang Palace Master. The energy intertwined around him, causing his body to rapidly swell.
A commanding and domineering aura emanated from him.
The ground beneath him continuously sank!
"Golden Lion Fighting Qi, a secret technique of Huang Jiguang Palace! It makes true energy more solid and domineering. Except for the current Palace Master, no one else can practice it."
"All three Heavenly Ranked powerhouses have revealed their trump cards. How can Ling Feng respond now? He's bound to lose."
"Having reached this point, he is already among the elite."
"Even if he loses this battle, he will still have gained honor."
Boom!
The three Heavenly Ranked powerhouses surged forth.
From three different directions, they began to encircle Ling Feng.
Each attack was imbued with overwhelming killing intent.
The Golden Lion's might was overwhelming, the Sword Intent rained down like a torrential downpour, completely enveloping the corners of Ling Feng's space.
The majestic Earth Dragon seemed ready to tear Ling Feng apart.
Ling Feng laughed heartily, pushing the Celestial King's Form to its peak.
"Chaotic World Overlord Fist!"
"Flying Immortal Sword Technique!"
He unleashed two imperial-grade techniques in succession. Although his cultivation was not on par with the three Heavenly Ranked powerhouses, under the enhancement of these imperial techniques, his combat power was still unmatched.
The two sides collided violently.
Sword energy, fist force, and dust…
Various forces intertwined and swept through, obliterating everything within several miles!
The terrifying impact sent both sides reeling back.
"Come again!"
"Never let him have a moment to breathe!"
"Indeed, let's take him down with one last push!"
The three Heavenly Ranked powerhouses said coldly.
With their imposing momentum, they charged at Ling Feng once more.
Under their relentless attacks, Ling Feng's strikes were continuously shattered, and even the towering Celestial King's Form began to disintegrate.
Seeing this, the crowd couldn't help but shake their heads.
"He's going to lose in the end."
"Yes, after all, he's only at the first or second level of the Martial Venerable realm."
"The Huang Jiguang Palace Master and the others are all peak Martial Venerables, some even at the half-step Martial Saint level. Ling Feng can't possibly win against the three of them combined."
No one believed Ling Feng could emerge victorious.
However, Gu Linglong, Leng Ningshuang, and others couldn't sit still.
They wanted to rush in and help.
But before they could get close, the overwhelming pressure from the true energy made it difficult for them to approach.
This level of battle was beyond their reach.
"Damn it, you three are ganging up on one! How shameless!"
"You pride yourselves on being Heavenly Ranked powerhouses, esteemed seniors in martial arts, yet you join forces against a young junior. I have never seen such shamelessness!"
Even though they couldn't intervene, the crowd could still voice their opinions.
They all spoke up, trying to disrupt the three Heavenly Ranked powerhouses with their words.
"Hmph, how can this person be judged by common sense? Even though it's three against one and it would be disgraceful to spread this news, if we can kill him here, it will all be worth it."
The Tianwu Sect Master replied coldly.
The other two nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, this Ling Feng must not be allowed to live!"
Just as the three were suppressing Ling Feng, the Tianwu Sect Master suddenly sensed something was off. In the air, Ling Feng's aura began to change; the overbearing sword aura was gradually emanating a sharper and more ethereal essence, causing him to feel a growing unease…
"Could it be…"
The Tianwu Sect Master's pupils contracted slightly as he sensed something, disbelief flooding his eyes.
In the next moment, an entirely new aura erupted from Ling Feng!
Endless true energy surged forth, mingled with a piercing and ethereal Sword Intent that expanded outward, transforming the swirling winds and sands into countless sword energies that surged in all directions!
Under this pressure, the Tianwu Sect Master and the others quickly retreated!
"This, this is Sword Intent!!"
"Damn it, this guy actually comprehended Sword Intent in the midst of battle!"
"How is this possible?"
The Tianwu Sect Master's expression turned dark.
To become a Heavenly Ranked powerhouse, he was already a rare genius, yet even he took over a hundred years to grasp a hint of Sword Intent.
But Ling Feng was merely a few years old!
He had actually comprehended the coveted Sword Intent in the midst of combat!
