The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1266: You Deserve To Die

"You brat, do you really think I can be frightened so easily?"

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea's face darkened as he glared coldly at Ling Feng. His voice was full of hatred. "I refuse to believe that you could use such a technique again!"

Ling Feng raised his eyebrows. He clenched his teeth and forced down the overwhelming weakness flooding his mind. "You don't have to believe me. Try me if you dare, either one of us will die!"

Ling Feng's words filled the Venerable of the Desolate Sea with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Do you think I will fall for a dying trick?"

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea gathered his energy in the palm, silently condensing a blade of nothingness.

"Then come and kill me if you do not believe it!"

Ling Feng's lips curved into a faint smile. "There are plenty of lives on our side. Betting them against just the two of you is still a good deal for you."

Seeing the strange smile on Ling Feng's face, the Venerable of the Desolate Sea's doubt only deepened. His mind calculated endlessly, but he could not be sure.

If Ling Feng truly could use the technique he had just displayed, it would be no problem at all to drag him into mutual destruction.

"Grandfather, don't trust him. This man is always cunning and is just setting a trap to escape unscathed!" Murong Zining called out urgently.

"Oh? Miss Murong, you seem to know me very well!"

Ling Feng smiled coldly. "Since you know me so well, then why were you once so easily fooled by me? You may think I am bluffing. My life is right here. Don't you want to kill me? Go ahead. Use the Venerable of the Desolate Sea's power to destroy me in one move. Come on! Try it!"

Murong Zining trembled with rage. She wanted to rush forward but was firmly held back by the Venerable of the Desolate Sea. "Zining, do not fall into this brat's trap!"

"Grandfather!"

Murong Zining clenched her teeth in frustration. She could see the perfect opportunity to strike down Ling Feng, but fear of his hidden abilities held her back.

A mere cultivator of the Spiritual Element Realm had intimidated a peak Human Emperor expert. Ling Feng could take pride in that achievement.

"Damn it!"

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea's gaze was like a predator selecting its prey. It locked ruthlessly onto Ling Feng. Yet Ling Feng remained nonchalant, fidgeting occasionally in his pockets. Each movement made the Venerable of the Desolate Sea flinch and retreat.

The power that had killed the Heaven-Patrolling Angel before had been too terrifying to take lightly.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Ling Feng's actions were only a delaying tactic to restore his own strength. He suddenly looked toward the horizon and grinned. "Venerable of the Desolate Sea, since you dare not act, I will leave this world first. The Heaven-Patrolling Angel said the teleportation passage above only remains open for two hours."

"Hmph!"

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea's expression stiffened. He realized that if this stalemate continued, he might be trapped here.

In the past, his only means of leaving the Sea of Miracles had been through the passages opened by the Heaven-Patrolling Angel. Now that the Heaven-Patrolling Angel was dead, the teleportation passage above was the only way out.

"Whatever new grudges or old scores you have, you can settle them later. I assume you do not want to be trapped here for the rest of your life, reduced to the level of these monsters."

Ling Feng saw the Venerable of the Desolate Sea waver and immediately pressed his advantage. Once Despicable Donkey recovered, their combined methods would make the Venerable of the Desolate Sea much less threatening.

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea took a deep breath. He reasoned that since he dared not act recklessly, missing the hour would mean losing the only escape. He nodded reluctantly. "Fine. Brat, we shall fight another day!"

With that, he grabbed Murong Zining and prepared to leave the Sea of Miracles through the teleportation passage.

Ling Feng exhaled in relief. His quick thinking had worked, allowing them to bluff their way out.

At that moment, a terrifying roar erupted from the distant sea.

The sound shook heaven and earth. The ground beneath them trembled violently. Black stones scattered and floated into the air, turning to ash.

"What... What kind of power is this!"

Ling Feng's pupils contracted sharply. The force filled him with deep unease.

"You brat! You deserve to die!"

A bone-chilling voice seemed to crawl up from the depths of hell, instantly scattering the smoke hovering over the Central Square.

As the fog dissipated, a horrifying figure appeared.

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel had three of its limbs blown apart, leaving only one arm. Its body was almost entirely shattered. Even its face was riddled with holes.

Yet despite its condition, the Heaven-Patrolling Angel was not dead!

It no longer held the majesty of a conqueror of the world but resembled a demon risen from the abyss.

"You—deserve—to die!"

Its remaining eye burned with hatred as it fixed its gaze on Ling Feng. The sheer force it radiated seemed capable of sinking the entire Heavenly Pool Island beneath the sea.

"Heavens..."

Lan Yuhuang covered her mouth in terror. The explosion had not killed this monster. This was far too extreme!

Ling Feng's face darkened. His Thunder Orb had already been spent, and with the Heaven-Patrolling Angel still alive, he had no other options left.

"Lord Tianzun!"

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea was first shocked and then overjoyed. "Excellent. I knew you won't go down so easily!"

"Cowardice shall die!"

The Heaven-Patrolling Angel's cold gaze swept over the Venerable of the Desolate Sea. Its remaining left arm extended through the void and drew Murong Zining and her grandfather in front of it.

"Lord, I had no intention! I had no intention!"

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea pleaded desperately. Murong Zining turned pale.

"Murong Quan, your power comes from me. Now it is time for you to repay me!"

The decayed face of the Heaven-Patrolling Angel twisted into a cruel smile as it bit into the Venerable of the Desolate Sea's neck.

"Ah!"

The Venerable screamed like a slaughtered pig. The Angel sought to devour his flesh and blood to rebuild its body.

"Grand...Grandfather!"

Murong Zining's face turned ashen. She struck out at the Heaven-Patrolling Angel, trying to rescue her grandfather. Yet the Heaven-Patrolling Angel's gaze froze her in place.

Its vengeful eye swept over her, and it began to laugh wickedly. "Although your strength is weak, it can still recover some power."

"You monster! Do not dare lay a hand on Zining!"

The Venerable of the Desolate Sea's neck gushed blood, yet he somehow found a surge of strength and ruthlessly struck Murong Zining, sending her flying as he roared, "Zining, run!"
