The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1288: You Cheated

"That was close!"

Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile and pulled himself out of the wall. A thought passed through his mind. I see now. The reason Yu Linglong's Master makes her keep her distance from others isn't about separating the sexes at all. It must be because he fears her terrifying, inhuman strength might accidentally injure the people around her.

If his body had not been so tough, that single strike just now would have cost him half his life even if it did not kill him.

Ling Feng flashed forward, passed through the crowd, and returned to Xianyao Pavilion. When he saw Yu Linglong holding her head and crying in regret, he hurried to comfort her. "Miss Yu, I am fine."

The martial artists watching nearby stared with wide eyes. Yu Linglong had sent him flying with a force that not even they could withstand, yet this young man in early Spiritual Sea Realm stood here without a single injury!

"Ah?"

Yu Linglong heard his voice and looked up with surprise. Her tearful eyes fixed on Ling Feng, and when she found him completely unharmed, a smile broke through her tears. "This is wonderful. If you had been hurt, senior brother Lin would definitely blame me."

Ling Feng almost laughed aloud. She cried not because she feared hurting someone but because she feared Lin Mu's scolding.

Clearly this monster-strength girl was Lin Mu's devoted little fan!

Ling Feng shook his head and drew a steady breath. "Miss Yu, let me handle this. Please do not interfere."

"But..."

She wanted to speak again. When she remembered that Ling Feng had taken her strike without a scratch, she calmed down a little. She thought that with his ability, he might not lose too badly.

After thinking it over, she stepped back a few paces and bit her lip. "Very well. But if you get hurt, Mr. Ling, I... I will still help."

"Ahem..."

A dry cough came from the skinny monkey on the opposite side. He could not help reacting. He knew the danger of letting this monster-strength girl act.

His mouth twitched before he spoke in a low voice. "Brat, for junior sister Yu's sake, I can let you walk away today. If you know what is good for you, leave at once. Otherwise..."

"If there is a fight coming, then make it happen!"

Ling Feng moved the next instant. His figure shot forward and his palm swung straight for the skinny monkey's face.

That skinny monkey, who after all was still a disciple of the Dongling Immortal Pool, had an excellent reaction time. He dodged aside and nearly avoided the strike, but suddenly felt a fierce gust on his right side and panicked. In desperation, he shouted, "Metal Drop!"

Boom!

A blast of dust rose as he stomped hard, forming a golden bell around himself. The ground sank under his feet, and he used this overwhelming defense to force Ling Feng back.

Instead, shocked gasps reached his ears.

"What happened? That brat did not even attack, but senior brother from Blazing Sun Divine Hall activated a defensive martial skill out of nowhere?"

"Is this some new strategy where defense becomes offense?"

Qin Wuyang narrowed his eyes and glared at the skinny monkey. "Sun Xiang, what are you doing?"

The skinny monkey blinked and rubbed his eyes. He realized that Ling Feng had never struck. Was everything he had just felt an illusion?

"It starts for real now!"

Ling Feng let out a cold snort. He activated the Boundless Sword Steps, elemental force surged in his palm, and at the exact moment when the golden bell still glimmered, Ling Feng palm slammed onto Sun Xiang's golden shield.

A sharp crack rang out. The golden bell shattered. Ling Feng's hand pressed across Sun Xiang's face and sent him flying.

"Uh... How is this possible?"

"Heavens, I'm awake right? This cannot be real, it can't be!"

The onlookers stared as though their eyes were about to fall out. Sun Xiang was a disciple of Dongling Immortal Pool, yet he was defeated by a nobody with a single slap.

The difference between them spanned an entire major realm!

"That was incredible!"

Yu Linglong clapped and cheered with bright eyes. She muttered to herself, Senior brother Lin did not lie to me, Mr. Ling is really powerful!

Even Qin Wuyang and the senior brothers beside him could not hide their shock.

A disciple who had trained for three years with Blazing Sun Divine Hall was defeated in a single instant!

This was a tough pill to swallow!

Only Tuoba Yan smiled quietly. She had long been used to Ling Feng's monstrous nature. He never treated even mid-tier Human Emperors of Tianhuang City as threats.

Sun Xiang crashed into a wall with a big red handprint across his face. He pointed at Ling Feng with fear and rage. "You... you... you cheated!"

"Oh? I slapped you in front of everyone, how exactly is that cheating?"

Ling Feng raised a brow and stared at him with a cold smile. "Do you think only you can see? Are the hundreds of eyes around us all blind?"

"I... I..."

Sun Xiang clenched his teeth in frustration. He knew he had no way to argue.

Qin Wuyang's eyelid twitched. Something occurred to him. His gaze lingered on Ling Feng with growing surprise. "I passed through the Tianlan Sea Region of Tiansheng Empire years ago, and heard of a Human Emperor called the Illusion Heart Queen. She mastered illusion techniques and used them to confuse opponents before defeating them in a single strike. What you used just now looked very similar, was that illusion technique?"

Ling Feng touched the bridge of his nose. He had not expected this senior brother Qin to have some insight.

However, Ling Feng did not give a direct answer. He only let out a disdainful laugh. "So what? I beat your junior brother. If I am unworthy, then what does that make him? Worse than unworthy? By that logic, you disciples of Blazing Sun Divine Hall are not very impressive!"

The bystanders all stared. Ling Feng did have ability, but provoking the strongest hall among the Three Divine Halls was reckless!

Qin Wuyang's face twitched several times, he had been thoroughly angered. His voice turned cold. "Brat, you may have some skill, but there are always people stronger than you. Since you insist on courting death, I will act myself. I will show you whether the disciples of Blazing Sun Divine Hall are worthy or not!"

"In the end, strength decides everything!"

Ling Feng lifted his brows with a cold smile. "Fine. Come!"

Their auras burst out at almost the same moment. Both men grew wary of each other.

Ling Feng kept a relaxed expression, yet in his heart he remained cautious. Qin Wuyang was no Sun Xiang. If he did not approach this carefully, he might not be able to handle it.

"Stop at once!"

A cold voice came from the floor above. Authority filled every word. The sound exploded through Xianyao Pavilion like a clap of thunder.
