Chapter 848: Chapter 846: Blood Saber Demon General, an Earth-Shattering Battle!

Hearing Lin Hongyi’s words, Luo Feng understood.

It seems that the expert he sensed when he killed Lu Zhao was indeed Lin Hongyi. She must have thought he was in cahoots with Lu Zhao to ambush the disciples of Yuangang Hall, which is why she made a probing move.

Nanxuan was indignant, saying, "Senior Brother Luo Feng is not that kind of person!"

"I am very sorry, but it was a matter of life and death vengeance for my fellow disciples, and I had no choice."

Lin Hongyi looked embarrassed and raised her head to look at Luo Feng, saying, "Luo Feng, I misunderstood you this time, and earlier you even saved me once. I, Lin Hongyi, owe you a favor."

Understanding the reason behind it, the trace of annoyance in Luo Feng’s heart also vanished, and he shook his head, saying:

"No need. Even if I hadn’t acted just now, you should have been able to handle that Asura, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Hongyi’s face turned slightly red.

Earlier, she was indeed confident in killing that Asura. However, she wanted to take the opportunity to test Luo Feng, so she didn’t make a move. She thought her actions were seamless, but Luo Feng was clearly aware of her intentions.

However, she had always been clear about grudges and gratitude. Since Luo Feng had helped her and avenged her junior brothers and sisters by killing Lu Zhao, it was not her style to ignore it. Her eyes firm, she said:

"Regardless, I, Lin Hongyi, owe you one."

"Suit yourself. Farewell then."

Having just perfectly fused the second move of the Shocking Thunder Saber Technique, Luo Feng was worried about losing his newfound insights, so he said no more. In a flash, he charged again into the group of Demon Sect disciples, repeatedly executing Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens.

Looking at Luo Feng’s retreating figure, Lin Hongyi said, "It’s a pity he didn’t enter our Yuangang Hall. Otherwise, with his potential, cultivating the Mountain Cave Body Tempering Gang would definitely be twice the result with half the effort. Our Yuangang Hall could gain a new top-rated expert on the New Dragon List."

"Senior Sister, do you think so highly of him?" The other four Yuangang Hall disciples were full of surprise.

"Yeah, I think Luo Feng is at most about the same as Senior Brother Ye Huan."

Ye Huan was one of the most outstanding talents of Yuangang Hall. Just last year, at only sixteen, he had already reached the forty-eighth position on the New Dragon List. But Lin Hongyi’s evaluation of him was simply ’average.’ In the eyes of the others, Luo Feng was indeed exceptional, but maybe not much better than Ye Huan. Lin Hongyi’s high praise for him was unexpected.

Lin Hongyi lifted her sleeve, "Look here."

On her sleeve, there was a half-foot long crack, revealing her jade-like skin beneath.

"Is this Luo Feng’s doing?"

The four Yuangang Hall disciples gasped.

Lin Hongyi nodded slightly, with a serious expression, "His saber technique is terrifying. He has already begun to understand his own Dao."

"Dao?" The few of them looked puzzled, not understanding.

"Everyone has their own Dao..."

Just as Lin Hongyi began to speak, she realized something and exhaled slightly, shaking her head, "Forget it, you won’t understand even if I tell you now, and neither do I truly understand. You just need to know that in the same realm, I am no match for him, no, I’m not even qualified to be his opponent."

"So frightening!"

The four exchanged stunned glances.

"Alright, now is not the time for idle chatter. We should try to eliminate as many Demon Sect disciples as possible. I just saw four elders enter the mountainside of Mount Heimang. That’s likely the stronghold of the Demon Sect. We should head there quickly as well," Lin Hongyi said.

"Yes!"

At this moment, Luo Feng had already charged into the group of Demon Sect disciples, repeatedly executing Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens.

As one Demon Sect disciple after another fell, the once vague feeling gradually became clear. He completely fused the second move of the Shocking Thunder Saber Technique, making Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens even more powerful. Within a radius of thirty feet, with the thunder and fire flashing, not a single Demon Sect disciple could survive a swipe of his saber.

Now, the power of Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens surpassed even the Golden Crow Annihilation Slash, and its speed was far superior. Luo Feng speculated that if he could fully integrate all five moves of the Shocking Thunder Saber Technique, the quality of Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens should be elevated to a top-tier Profound Level Martial Arts, surely among the very pinnacle of the top tier!

Walking among the Demon Sect disciples, Luo Feng’s momentum was domineering, where the saber light passed, the saber Qi crisscrossing, leaving no survivors among the Demon Sect disciples.

Xia Yunjing followed not far behind Luo Feng, watching the elegant figure ahead, a wry smile appearing at the corners of her lips.

Without needing to consciously feel, she could perceive that Luo Feng’s saber technique had become stronger. That seemingly effortless swipe of the blade was incredibly powerful, and even the robustly bodied, impressive for their defensive power Sky Flying Demons, were shattered in an instant.

With just a glance, Xia Yunjing withdrew her gaze, putting aside the shock in her mind. She feared becoming lost in Luo Feng’s strength, losing her own sharpness as a Martial Artist.

It was like climbing a mountain. Facing a hundred-meter peak, an ordinary person could grit their teeth and climb it. But confronted with a mountain whose peak is invisible, the heart is only filled with despair, and that despair leads to retreat.

At this moment, Luo Feng felt to Xia Yunjing like a mountain piercing through the clouds, insurmountable.

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

The slanting setting sun, the gray mist of Mount Heimang had, at an unknown time, turned a faint blood color, the bloody smell strong and pungent.

The battle was extremely fierce; within just the time it takes for incense to burn, countless had died or been injured. Corpses littered the foot of the mountain, more than half of the five thousand Demon Sect disciples had fallen, with less than a thousand left. Many Golden Palace disciples had also perished, broken limbs and blood-soaked weapons were everywhere, the ground stained a different color by the blood.

The crimson setting sun.

The tattered sabers and swords.

The low moans of the dying.

These formed a bloody and perilous battlefield scene that chilled the heart.

Unconsciously, Luo Feng began to integrate the third move of the Shocking Thunder Saber Technique, the power of Thunder Fire Shocking Heavens nearing that of top-tier Profound Level Martial Arts.

Hmm?

While Luo Feng was immersed in his cultivation, his brows furrowed, squinting as he looked towards the mountainside.

The next moment!

Boom!

The mountain trembled, and a shocking blood-colored blade light soared skyward from the mountainside.

The blade light, stretching a hundred meters long, flashed across the sky, slicing through large swaths of flowing clouds, seemingly splitting the entire firmament in half.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to this unstoppable blade light.

Whoosh!

The blade light shattered, releasing a figure from within.

The figure donned a blood-red robe and a black cloak trailing behind. In his hand was a towering blood-colored scimitar, exuding a sinister and merciless aura, the exact toll in lives unknown.

"Blood Saber Demon General!"

Luo Feng took a deep breath, recognizing this person as the Blood Saber Demon General, with whom he once crossed paths. Today, the opponent’s presence felt even more formidable, and Luo Feng guessed that his cultivation was at the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of breaking wind resumed, and four more figures emerged from the mountainside, hovering above the clouds with fluctuating air currents around them, revealing themselves as elders from the four Golden Palaces.

"Blood Saber, today you won’t escape!"

Shui Linglong stood in mid-air, her gaze coldly fixed on the Blood Saber Demon General. Beneath her feet bloomed a nine-petal lotus, each petal a different hue, rotating slowly, surrounded by a dazzling and colorful halo.

The Blood Saber Demon General wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinning fiercely:

"Shui Linglong, if it weren’t for the Holy Land disciples appearing in the Red Flame Desert back then, you would have been decapitated and devoured by demon beasts, there’d be no chance for you to act arrogant in front of me! As for escaping today, that’s not certain!"

"Slash!"

As the words fell, the Blood Saber Demon General struck with his sabre, targeting not Shui Linglong but the crowd battling at the foot of the mountain.

The hundred-meter-long blood-colored blade light was incredibly condensed, as though a river of blood descending from the heavens. The sinister and eerie aura seemed intent on absorbing everyone’s soul, causing blood to flow from the seven orifices of many Demon Sect disciples and Golden Palace disciples with insufficient cultivation.

"Despicable scoundrel, how dare you think you can succeed!"

Elder Tai Yuanhu of Yuangang Hall roared, his figure quickly appearing before the Saber Gang, fists clenched, illuminating his body with radiant golden light.

"Mountain Crusher!"

With a loud shout, his golden-glowing fists slammed fiercely before his chest.

Boom!

Mount Heimang shuddered as though the apocalypse approached, and the ground below suddenly cracked open. Following this, several thick rock spires surged upwards, as if mountains growing from the flat earth, colliding with the blood-colored blade light.

An enormous sound echoed, the blade light vanished, leaving only half-vanished rock spires stained with fresh blood.

The blood belonged to Demon Sect disciples. The areas where the rock spires rose were precisely where the Demon Sect disciples gathered. This strike annihilated hundreds, evidently a retaliation for the earlier slash from the Blood Saber Demon General.

"So powerful."

Luo Feng thought to himself, marveling at the identical maneuver executed by Tai Yuanhu compared to Lin Hongyi, yet the former’s strength was incomparable.

"Hmmph, Tai Yuanhu, one day I’ll slaughter every member of Yuangang Hall!"

The Blood Saber Demon General’s attack was merely a feint. As everyone was diverted, his figure transformed into a streak of blood that flashed across the sky, now a thousand meters away.

"Chase him! Today we must not let him escape!"

Tai Yuanhu roared furiously, his body enveloped in a golden glow, vanishing into the sky.

"Chase!"

Shui Linglong, the Purple Brow Wanderer, and Zhu Liehuo also pursued relentlessly, disappearing from everyone’s sight within moments.

The entire foot of the mountain fell into silent stillness; the shock of the confrontation between the Blood Saber Demon General and Yuangang Hall’s elder left many yet to recover.

"Senior Sister."

In the crowd, Zhou Jian glanced at Su Rui. He knew her goal was to hunt Demon General-level experts, typically one per stronghold.

Su Rui furrowed her brows, shaking her head in disappointment:

"They’re too fast, we definitely can’t catch up. Moreover, even with the Demon Core of the Devouring Yuan Giant Turtle, tackling a Martial Artist of the ninth Spiritual Rotation Realm is challenging. Let’s hunt the Demon Sect disciples and earn contributions first, then we’ll break this stronghold and seek another. Maybe we’ll find a Demon General-level expert of the eighth Spiritual Rotation Realm there."

"Alright."

Zhou Jian nodded, ready to act.

"Kill!"

A figure burst through the crowd, charging towards the mountainside first; it was Lu Yun from Sky Sword Pavilion, followed by Zhuang Fei and others.

"Let’s follow!" Zhou Jian frowned, joining Su Rui’s group in pursuit.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Numerous Golden Palace disciples rushed to the mountainside, the remaining Demon Sect disciples utterly defeated.

"Junior Brother Luo Feng, quickly follow them," Xia Yunjing urged, noticing Luo Feng’s puzzled expression. She quickly added: "Based on past experience, Demon Sect strongholds definitely harbor many treasures, sometimes even secret manuals. Whoever gets them, keeps them."

"I see. Let’s go!"

Luo Feng had wondered why Lu Yun was in such a hurry. Now enlightened, he swiftly used the Sky Cloud Step and shot towards the mountainside.
