Chapter 838: Chapter 860: Slaying Xiang Shaolong (Part 1)

"Netherworld Lord, it seems your clone is nothing special. I can kill you anytime now, but considering our many years of acquaintance, I’ll let you off this time. I hope you take care of yourself," said Xiang Shaolong.

"Go ahead and try if you have the ability. My Nether Soul Spirit Splitting Slash is not to be trifled with. At worst, it will benefit the Lord of Netherworld. If you, Xiang Shaolong, want the Human Race to unify the Netherworld, it will never happen," retorted the Netherworld Lord.

"Fine, you’re formidable. I won’t argue over this with you today. The main reason I’m here is to kill the person who murdered my disciple. It won’t be too late to settle accounts with you later. If by then, you still don’t know your place, don’t blame me for exterminating your Nether Race. Don’t think my strength isn’t enough to do it," Xiang Shaolong declared.

"Want to kill Chu Linfeng? I don’t think you have the qualification. Even if you weren’t injured, you’re no match for him. Do you know who he is? I’m afraid you’ll be scared to death if I tell you his identity!" the Netherworld Lord said.

"Haha, in the Netherworld, no one’s identity can intimidate me. Not even those in the Tower of Death, let alone a greenhorn kid. Netherworld Lord, if you want to deceive someone, at least come up with a plausible reason. Do you think I would believe such a weak excuse?" Xiang Shaolong chuckled.

Just then, a hearty laugh erupted from the air: "Old man, your strength is quite impressive, being able to defeat the Netherworld Lord. I really underestimated you, being able to enter the Tower of Death, that’s something else."

As the voice appeared, Chu Linfeng and Kong Feifei were already by the Netherworld Lord’s side. Seeing the Netherworld Lord hurt, Kong Feifei burst out in anger: "Xiang Shaolong, you must die today! How dare you harm my father! Take this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kong Feifei was about to attack Xiang Shaolong, but was stopped by Chu Linfeng, "Feifei, don’t be impulsive. You’re no match for this old guy. You should take care of your father. It’s best to stay away from here. Leave this old guy to me; as for the grudge between me and your father, we will discuss it when I get back!"

Kong Feifei wanted to say something more, but seeing Chu Linfeng’s determined eyes, she immediately shut her mouth. Meanwhile, the Netherworld Lord laughed, "Qingshuang, this Xiang Shaolong is very powerful. He has also learned the Clone Art. If you’re not his match, it’s best to escape. I believe with your speed, he won’t be able to do anything to you."

"Don’t worry, Netherworld Lord. Even if he’s learned to clone, I’m not afraid. You just recover well. I’ll speak to you when I come back!" Then, Chu Linfeng’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Xiang Shaolong.

The conversation between Chu Linfeng and the Netherworld people was clearly heard by Xiang Shaolong. This kid entirely disregarded him, too arrogant. With new grudges piled upon old ones, his heart seemed to be bleeding, "Kid, you have the nerve to come back, killing my beloved disciple, defiling Mei’er—what’s the difference between you and a beast? If I don’t tear you limb from limb, you’ll have gotten off too lightly."

"Haha, is that so? Dual Domains? Or your Clone Art? I’m quite curious how you entered the Tower of Death. Shouldn’t we talk a bit before we fight?" said Chu Linfeng nonchalantly. Having now broken through to the Seventh Layer of the Saint Martial Realm, his strength had increased several times, so he naturally feared his opponent no longer.

"Kid, you talk too much! Try my palm!" Xiang Shaolong roared angrily, immediately striking with a palm accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, aiming straight for Chu Linfeng...

Chu Linfeng didn’t evade but instead threw a punch to meet it, taking this opportunity to see how strong he had become after breaking through the realm. This punch used eighty percent of his power.

Back when Xiang Shaolong could even block Chu Linfeng’s Star Slash directly, it showed how strong his attack and defense were. Using eighty percent of his power was enough to gauge his true strength.

Seeing Chu Linfeng dare to clash head-on, a smug smile flashed across Xiang Shaolong’s face. The kid really thought he was something, wondering how he’d die this time! Xiang Shaolong thought to himself.

This seemingly casual palm actually used at least ninety percent of his strength. For someone he abhorred deeply, he wouldn’t show any mercy. If he could kill him outright, great. If not, he would slowly play him to death.

An interesting idea, but the outcome wasn’t as expected. The energy storm caused by their clashing fists and palms made space tremble incessantly, and dust was swept up, filling the sky like the advent of doomsday.

Soon, their attacks collided. Chu Linfeng’s punch contained the Power of the Five Elements, along with Thunder Power, making its attack strength no weaker than a Star Slash, perhaps even stronger.

Xiang Shaolong thought his palm would severely injure Chu Linfeng, but when their attack powers met, he realized he was terribly wrong. His strike felt like hitting a steel plate, and with his current defense, he felt a sharp pain through his entire arm.

Even stranger was a numbing sensation in his hand, which even tore, blood dripping continuously. The intense Rebound Force hurled him several hundred meters backward before he could stabilize, and one arm could no longer be lifted as if a bone had shattered in the process.

Such a situation was something Xiang Shaolong had never imagined. In just two days of absence, this kid seemed to have transformed, his attack power now even stronger than Xiang Shaolong’s. If the Netherworld Lord was the only opponent in the Netherworld that could rival him, then at this moment Chu Linfeng was the most dreaded adversary.

Chu Linfeng was also sent flying several hundred meters by Xiang Shaolong’s hit but was completely unharmed. His fist had a slight sensation of pain, which quickly disappeared. This clash let him know the disparity between their strengths, and he now was fully capable of crushing him.

In a flash, he appeared in front of Xiang Shaolong, smiling, "Old man, your strength isn’t much. How does it feel? Is your arm numb and unable to lift? I said we should have a good chat, but you were in such a rush to take my life. You truly thought I was a pushover? Shouldn’t we chat about the Tower of Death?"

Xiang Shaolong’s face turned livid with rage from Chu Linfeng’s words. "Kid, you’re too much! Your strength is indeed formidable, perhaps the strongest opponent I’ve ever faced. But if you think you can win against me, you’re dreaming."

"Haha, so angry! Human King? You think you deserve the title ’Human King’ with your pathetic display? Have you ever experienced what a woman feels like? Have you heard their alluring moans under you? An ant who hasn’t even touched a woman, calling yourself Human King? I think ’scum’ suits you better. Are you planning to use your Double Space Domain now?" Chu Linfeng laughed loudly, his voice echoing across the heavens and earth.

Xiang Shaolong’s killing intent surged higher and higher, "Kid, today you must die!" It was as if he was almost out of words, now only able to say that he wanted Chu Linfeng dead. He was like a mad tiger wanting to swallow Chu Linfeng whole.

Soon, Chu Linfeng noticed changes in the surrounding space. Having broken through to the Seventh Layer of the Saint Martial Realm, his perception of changes in Spatial Elements had greatly increased, and an immense pressure appeared on him. However, he could now bear it directly, unlike when he first encountered Xiang Shaolong in Sanshui City.

The same Water-Fire Elements Domain, under this Dual Domain, Chu Linfeng felt laden with tens of thousands of catties, akin to the pressure faced in the Gravity Chamber. Although strong, he could withstand it, maybe even using it as a method for Body Refinement.

If Xiang Shaolong knew that Chu Linfeng was using his Double Domain for Body Refinement, he would be so frustrated he’d want to vomit blood. Seeing Chu Linfeng being suppressed by his domain, Xiang Shaolong smirked, "Kid, weren’t you very tough? Now you can’t even speak? But I still have to admire you; you’re the first person to persist so long under my Double Domain. You should feel proud of that."

Chu Linfeng burst out laughing, "Haha, old man, you really think your Double Domain is something awesome. The pressure is indeed something. I was just using it for Body Cultivation. What’s a Water-Fire Domain? My domain is the Five Elements Domain. Do you want to try it?"

Hearing this, Xiang Shaolong was too astonished to speak. He thought Chu Linfeng was barely holding on, unable to speak, yet he remained so relaxed. More infuriating was using his Double Domain for Body Refinement. Who is this person? Too heaven-defying! It’s pure misfortune to provoke him.

"Five Elements Domain, and you possess a domain? Kid, I admit your defense is robust, but breaking my Double Domain is also difficult for you. If that’s the case, I’ll send you on your way early to avoid any prolonged dreams," Xiang Shaolong said.

He immediately brought out a small sword, thin as a cicada’s wings, at which Chu Linfeng laughed, "Old man, planning to cut some flesh off me again? You better use your clone, or else you’re not my match. This is your last chance, so don’t squander it."

Actually, when Xiang Shaolong revealed the small sword, Chu Linfeng resonated with the Water-Fire Elements inside the Double Domain, dispelling the pressure. Initially planning to counterattack using the Water-Fire Elements, he decided instead to test his current Star Slash attack power. Unfortunately, he still couldn’t use the Divine Slash, as he had tried in Kong Feifei’s boudoir before.

The method to execute the Divine Slash simply couldn’t surface in his mind. Chu Linfeng knew it might be due to insufficient strength. Though now at the Seventh Layer of the Saint Martial Realm, he still couldn’t access the Divine Slash method. The power of this Divine Slash must be unthinkably strong, probably capable of destroying half the Netherworld when he finally uses it...
