Chapter 490: Life and Death Gamble!
Peerless Martial God
âI deserve to die ten thousand deaths?â Lin Feng was staring at his interlocutor and smiling coldly: âWell, before I die, tell me who you are, what is your status?â
âWait until the moment before your death and I will tell you.â Said that person still not revealing his status. In Xue Yue, there were people who were hidden in the shadows. Very few people knew who they were. They were the most mysterious group of the country. In order to be part of this group, people had to be at least at the Xuan Qi layer.
In the Imperial City, they were always present. The Imperial Clan was extremely strong for two reasons, one was because of their blood spirit, the other one was that group of elite troops, one of their missions was to kill rebels within the country.
âLin Feng, you are the Marquis of Yangzhou and you came into the Imperial City with an army, that is an extremely serious crime. You and your army will die, all of you.â Said that middle-aged man in a cold and detached tone.
âAfter killing you, I will kill everyone you brought with you. None of you respect the laws of Xue Yue, so I will give all of you the death penalty, none of you will be left alive.â
âHow aggressive and arrogant!â Thought the people on the ground. They were all looking at him with admiration. She Qiong was already very strong but his father was much stronger. He was probably stronger than those five cultivators of the fifth Xuan Qi layer. Which meant that he had at least broken through to the sixth Xuan Qi layer.
At such high levels, a single cultivation layer would make a huge difference. A cultivator of the sixth Xuan Qi layer was much stronger than a group of cultivators at the fifth Xuan Qi layer.
Everyone was trying to guess what that personâs social status was. Duan Tian Lang and those five cultivators of the fifth Xuan Qi layer looked like they revered and worshiped him, so wasnât that personâs social status much higher than them?
Duan Tian Lang was looking at him with admiration and respect, so what was his status? He looked majestic and released a commanding presence.
The affairs of the Imperial City were very mysterious. Many people couldnât understand the affairs of the city, all they could do was guess.
In the past, most people thought that cultivators of the third and fourth Xuan Qi layer were amazing, but after the genius competition of Xue Yue, stronger and stronger cultivators were revealing themselves from the shadows. There were many people who were hiding from the public eyes. Apart from cultivators of the fourth Xuan Qi layer, there were even cultivators of the fifth Xuan Qi layer who were hidden, and now, there was someone even stronger.
âSorry but what you are saying is absolutely unjustified. Those people are not an army, they belong to my sect, they are lone cultivators from the Yun Hai Sect who travelled to the Imperial City with me. I am not acting as the Chi Xie Marquis today, instead I am acting as the Patriarch of the Yun Hai Sect. In the past, Duan Tian Lang destroyed the Yun Hai Sect and today, as the Patriarch of the Yun Hai Sect, I will avenge the Yun Hai Sect. What is so inappropriate about that?â Said Lin Feng loudly and firmly.
Many people were gobsmacked. If Lin Feng had come to the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue using his status as the Patriarch of the Yun Hai Sect and people from his sect had followed him into the Imperial City, then technically it didnât break any laws. He had the right to seek revenge for his sect.
âBesides, what do you intend to do? By attacking me while hiding your social status... Youâre saying that I committed a crime, what gives you the right to speak when you donât even know a thing?â Said Lin Feng in an ice-cold tone. He coldly stared at his interlocutor and remained unyielding. Even though he was weaker than his interlocutor, his words werenât weak at all.
Lin Feng was fearless. Even if Lin Feng had to risk his life, who knew who would come out victorious? The result couldnât be predicted.
Lin Feng understood that arguing with him was useless, strength was the most important thing in this world. Strength would determine who was right and who was wrong, that was the basic principle in this world of cultivation. If your fist was strong enough to silence the opposition, it didnât matter if you were wrong. Lin Feng couldnât afford to act as the weaker side in front of that person, otherwise the other person would have the advantage.
As expected, when Lin Feng said that, a terrifying Qi invaded the atmosphere, it was extremely frightening and created a roar as it tore through the sky. It sounded like a furious flood dragon. The man wanted to use force to win.
Lin Feng didnât look at that man again. He turned his head to look at the cultivator of the fifth Xuan Qi layer, he smiled coldly and said: âYou still havenât told me who you are, if he doesnât want to speak, you should tell me.â
That person looked extremely tense and nervous, he was shaking from head to toe. Lin Feng hand was surrounded by an extremely sharp deadly Qi. Lin Feng kept his hand pressed against that personâs throat the entire time, he hadnât changed his position. That person hadnât tried to break free from Lin Feng because he could feel Lin Fengâs sharp Qi pressing against his throat. If Lin Feng had sensed any movements, Lin Feng would have immediately killed him. Therefore, he didnât dare to move at all. At that moment, Lin Feng was forcing him to talk.
She Qiongâs father also looked down at him with an ice-cold look in his eyes. That cultivator of the fifth Xuan Qi layer felt that the pressure surrounding his was growing.
He felt like he was carrying two gigantic mountains, one on each shoulder.
It was clear to him that he couldnât reveal their social status, it was their most basic rule and it would be enforced now that an officer was present. They always acted in secret within the country. Even if they appeared in public, they would never stay in the open for long. Today their purpose was to kill Lin Feng and then disappear as quickly as possible. People would usually forget about them with time. The problem they faced at that moment was, not only were they unable to kill Lin Feng, but on top of that, Lin Feng was forcing him to talk.
âYou know what will happen if you talk.â Said She Qiongâs father coldly. Which caused that person to pull a long face. If he didnât talk, Lin Feng would kill him, if he talked, She Qiongâs father would kill him. It was a dead end either way.
âIf you donât talk, I will immediately kill you.â Said Lin Feng coldly which made that personâs facial expression grow more hideous.
âOfficer!â Said that person while looking at She Qiongâs father in a hopeless and desperate way, he was hoping that She Qiongâs father would save his life.
âHe will not kill you, he wouldnât dare. If he does, he will be considered a rebel and he will be sentenced to death along with his entire family and everyone close to him.â Said She Huan, but that person didnât believe it and looked over to Lin Feng.
âI will give you ten seconds.â Said Lin Feng calmly.
âYou know perfectly what will happen if you talk, heâs just threatening you, he wonât dare to act. Iâm telling you that he will not kill you which means that he will not kill you.â Said She Huan as he was gambling that Lin Feng would stay his hand.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf he kills you, I will kill him, everybody will be a witness.â Said She Huan but he wasnât looking at that cultivator of the fifth Xuan Qi layer at all, he was only staring at Lin Feng, he was clearly threatening Lin Feng.
âSeven seconds.â Said Lin Feng indifferently ignoring She Huan.
She Huan released an extremely oppressive Qi. Lin Feng could feel how oppressive and wild the Qi was, it was terrifying. The cultivator Lin Feng was threatening could also feel that oppressive Qi. She Huan was hoping that Lin Feng wouldnât do anything when he sensed the oppressive Qi.
âFour seconds.â Said Lin Feng indifferently. The cultivator looked extremely tense. She Huanâs Qi was becoming more and more violent and brutal in the air. If that person talked, She Huan would kill him, but if Lin Feng dared to kill him, then She Huan would kill Lin Feng.
âTwo seconds.â Said Lin Feng. The personâs facial muscles were twitching as he thought, he was gnashing his teeth but he wasnât speaking... Under such an oppressive Qi, he would die if he spoke. It was extremely possible that Lin Feng wouldnât dare to kill him when facing She Huan.
âOne second.â
He just remained silent but the silence was terrifying.
âIdiot.â Said Lin Feng as if he found the situation to be ridiculous. Ten seconds had already elapsed. His fingertip penetrated into the manâs throat and then was pulled out with a slash.
That personâs pupils abruptly shrunk, but his eyes were wide open in shock, he looked terrified. Lin Feng didnât say anything superfluous, he immediately killed him when the time was over.
Lin Feng wouldnât dare to kill him?
Ignorant! His choice was clearly flawed in many ways.
âIf he had really cared about your life, he wouldnât have threatened to kill me in retaliation. Since he initially wanted to kill me regardless, why would I be intimidated by his threats?â Said Lin Feng indifferently which stupefied She Huan. As expected, She Huan didnât take action, he didnât even look at the cultivator who died, it was as if his death had nothing to do with She Huan. She Huan only wanted one thing, to kill Lin Feng.
That cultivator of the fifth Xuan Qi layer couldnât close his eyes even in death, his body fell from the sky with wide eyes. A cultivator of the fifth Xuan Qi layer had just died by Lin Fengâs hands!
âI must say that I admire your courage.â Said She Huan while looking emotionless and releasing a thick deadly energy.
âBut when facing a much stronger cultivator, courage is useless.â
At that moment, She Huan released a monstrous Qi which filled the air and crashed in Lin Fengâs direction.
âEven though youâre strong, what gives you the audacity to say âMUCH strongerâ!?â Laughed Lin Feng.
âThirty-six celestial swords formation, CONDENSE!â
