The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1340: Sect Mission

As Meng Guizang thrust his spear forward, Ling Feng activated the Boundless Sword Steps and focused solely on evasion. His cultivation was not high, yet the Boundless Sword Steps blended many sky-tier movement arts and carried his own understanding of the Wind conscious realm. The changes in his footwork were even more elusive than Meng Guizang's.

For a time, Meng Guizang drove his spear into a storm of afterimages, yet not even the corner of Ling Feng's robe was touched.

While dodging, Ling Feng observed Meng Guizang's spear art closely. He not only saw through its flaws, he also absorbed its essence and began refining it into his own sword technique.

The Gale Slaying Imperial Spear was boundlessly powerful and full of transformations. With the Eye of the Emperor, Ling Feng could perceive martial skills in depth. Using the Sword Dao Divine Art Art of Simple Detachment as his foundation, he converted the mysteries of this spear into a sword art.

Back then, Yan Cangtian had created the Eight Directions Shatter Abyss sword art in the same way. Ling Feng's comprehension surpassed Yan Cangtian's, and now that he fully grasped the true essence of Art of Simple Detachment, he drew strengths from every opponent he faced to perfect his own sword techniques.

Threads of insight flowed through Ling Feng's mind. His journey to create his own sword dao finally took its first true step.

"Bastard!"

Meng Guizang felt suffocated with rage and gritted his teeth. "Is all you know how to do run away?"

He had never imagined that a mere Spiritual Sea Realm martial practitioner would possess such a profound movement art. His speed might have been higher, yet Ling Feng slipped away again and again through agile shifts and leaps, widening the distance every time.

No matter how unmatched his spear art was, if he could not strike his opponent, it was nothing but empty talk.

"Then come and catch me and kill me!"

Ling Feng raised his brows and curled a finger at him, provoking Meng Guizang until he nearly spat blood.

"Good. Very good! You have completely angered me!"

Meng Guizang stared at Ling Feng with eyes about to split apart. His aura erupted as he tried to crush Ling Feng with sheer pressure and seal him in place so that he could neither flee nor dodge.

"He is getting serious!"

In the distance, Ji Rushuang's eyes flashed. Meng Guizang's aura had reached its peak.

Before, he had been playing like a cat teasing a mouse. Now he had fully unleashed his strength. With Ling Feng's current power, there was no way to break through this spiritual suppression.

Only a direct clash remained!

"It looks like the outcome is already decided. Ling Feng will surely die from this move!"

Zhu Lianshan stood nearby with a dark expression. He was still bitter that Meng Guizang had surpassed him, yet even he had to admit that forcing Meng Guizang to reveal his true strength was already something to be proud of.

Ling Feng lifted his brows and a faint smile curved his lips. The Eradicator of Realms in his hand traced a light arc.

No one noticed that the opening stance of his sword was nearly identical to Meng Guizang's "Gale Slaying Imperial Spear".

The remaining difference lay in what he added. Where Meng Guizang relied on domineering force, Ling Feng infused it with killing intent.

Slaughterous Sword Will became the core of this sword art that he had comprehended from spear technique.

At that moment, a vast voice thundered across the sky.

"Outer sect disciples, hear my command. Ten earth-tier Mingjian Tower masters are hereby selected to assist the inner sect disciples and proceed to the Crystal Snow Mountain Range to carry out a sect mission! Numbers one, ten, twenty, ..., two hundredth earth-tier Mingjian Tower master, drop everything and gather at once!"

A green robed figure tore through the air and announced the order. His voice rolled like thunder and echoed in every ear. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

One by one, the earth-tier Mingjian Tower masters shot into the sky without hesitation and gathered above.

These missions were arranged by the sect elders. The inner sect disciples formed the main force, while the outer sect disciples assisted. They were also a chance to earn extra contribution points.

The outer sect disciples whose numbers were called all looked delighted. This was a golden opportunity!

After counting the numbers, the green-robed man frowned. "One person is still missing. Come and assemble at once!"

Everyone looked toward the Life-or-Death Platform.

Ling Feng was the two hundredth earth-tier Mingjian Tower master.

Meng Guizang's face flushed red with frustration. He felt as if he were about to spit blood.

Too early or too late would have been fine, but why now!

If the order had come even a little later, that strike would have taken Ling Feng's life!

Now, even with a hundred times the courage, he dared not touch Ling Feng. That would be a direct provocation against the sect.

The green-robed man in the sky was an inner sect elder. An inner sect elder and an outer sect elder were worlds apart in status.

"You are lucky, brat!"

Meng Guizang glared at Ling Feng and withdrew his silver spear. "This wager duel is postponed. You better pray you die during the mission, otherwise I will make you wish you were dead!"

Ling Feng shrugged, feeling slightly displeased.

Meng Guizang was annoyed, yet Ling Feng was no less so. He had wanted to test the sword art he had just created, only for it to be interrupted.

"Phew..."

When they heard Meng Guizang's words, Fang Wen, Lu Yu and the others clearly relaxed. Ye Xiong flew over and said with relief, "Master Ling, your luck truly defies heaven! You obtained a sect mission opportunity so quickly."

Ling Feng curled his lips, nodded to Ye Xiong and rose into the air to gather with the other ten earth-tier Mingjian Tower masters beside the green-robed elder.

"You are the two hundredth Mingjian Tower master?"

The elder looked Ling Feng over. In his memory, that position had belonged to Meng Jiande.

"That is right. I defeated the former master," Ling Feng replied calmly.

"Mm. Then that is settled."

The elder did not mind. Changes among Mingjian Tower masters were common.

"In addition, sky-tier Mingjian Tower lords three, six and nine will also assist. Do not delay, come at once!"

When the elder finished speaking, Zhu Lianshan and the green-robed man ranked third nodded to Ji Rushuang and flew up.

Meng Guizang's eyes flashed coldly as well. He dared not disobey and followed, glaring at Ling Feng like a beast that wanted to tear him apart.

"Were you two just fighting a wager duel on the Life-or-Death Platform?" the elder asked coldly.

"Yes, Elder," Meng Guizang answered with his neck drawn in.

"Settle your grudges after the sect mission. If this affects the mission, I will not be lenient."

"This disciple would not dare."

Meng Guizang was like a mouse before a cat. He dared to act arrogant in front of the outer sect elders, yet before the inner sect elders he did not even dare to let out a fart.
