Chapter 677: Chapter 544_2
Hong Qingxuan’s strength had given everyone a direct understanding—martial artists at the peak of the Eighth Layer Earth Martial Master realm were no match for her, crumbling under her hand in a single strike.
Lin Feng was not at all surprised; he felt that even an average martial artist at the Ninth Layer Peak Earth Martial Master realm would be no match for Hong Qingxuan.
After defeating the silver-robed youth, Hong Qingxuan didn’t leave the arena but continued to wait for others to challenge her. Soon enough, a disciple from Lingtian Peak at the Ninth Layer Peak Earth Martial Master realm stepped up to challenge.
The two quickly clashed.
At this moment, atop the mountain where the Luotian Peak disciples were situated, Elder Wei glanced over the disciples beside him, and after pondering for a moment, asked, "From Feng Shaoyu’s previous battle, you should also have some understanding of the strength of the three from Sky-reaching Peak, right?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. Since Feng Shaoyu could battle beyond his realm to surpass the Third Layer, Lin Feng and Hua Suifu should not be far behind!
"Who among you will challenge the people from Sky-reaching Peak later?" Elder Wei asked.
"I will challenge them!" As soon as Elder Wei finished speaking, a disciple immediately responded.
Elder Wei looked towards that disciple and gravely asked, "Xiao Xuanyi, are you confident you can defeat Feng Shaoyu?"
The disciple who responded was none other than Xiao Xuanyi.
Xiao Xuanyi originally planned to wait for Lin Feng to make his move to gauge Lin Feng’s strength and see what level he had reached before he would act. But now, he couldn’t wait any longer.
Although Xiao Xuanyi harbored a deep hatred for Lin Feng, he did not underestimate him; after all, Lin Feng was a monstrous talent. During their time at Heavenly Sea Lake, Lin Feng already possessed strength comparable to a Ninth Layer Earth Martial Master, and he believed Lin Feng’s strength had definitely increased over this period.
However, with Lin Feng not yet entering the fray, Xiao Xuanyi had no choice but to take the stage first and directly issue a challenge to Lin Feng!
Hearing Elder Wei’s words, Xiao Xuanyi said, "I am ninety percent confident in defeating Feng Shaoyu. I will start with Lin Feng!"
Xiao Xuanyi primarily wanted to kill Lin Feng; as for Feng Shaoyu, he didn’t care that much.
"Hmm!"
Elder Wei heard this and nodded, saying, "If you can’t defeat Feng Shaoyu, retreat immediately and let someone else take over."
Elder Wei didn’t pay much attention to Lin Feng as he warned Xiao Xuanyi.
The Great Elder Zhu Wen had personally instructed them not to hold back against the disciples of Sky-reaching Peak, clearly aiming to kill the disciples of Sky-reaching Peak.
Since that was the case, he would certainly need to satisfy the Great Elder. While he couldn’t claim that he would kill all three from Sky-reaching Peak, killing two was definitely not an issue.
"I understand!" Xiao Xuanyi nodded. Although Elder Wei didn’t care much about Lin Feng, Xiao Xuanyi was clear in his heart that Lin Feng’s strength surpassed that of Feng Shaoyu.
Immediately after, Elder Wei and Xiao Xuanyi could only wait for the battle between Hong Qingxuan and her opponent on the Battle Platform to conclude.
Atop the Battle Platform.
Hong Qingxuan’s opponent was a tall, thin, yellow-robed youth with exceptional strength, slightly stronger than the typical Ninth Layer Peak Earth Martial Master.
After hundreds of exchanges, the battle was still indecisive.
Boom boom boom!!!
Violent explosions erupted on the Battle Platform, with terrifying waves swirling up to the heavens as both of them retreated simultaneously.
"Young Sister Hong, your strength is indeed astonishing, but you won’t be my opponent!" The yellow-robed youth laughed lightly and shook his head.
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Hong Qingxuan’s serene face as she said softly, "That’s not necessarily true!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hong Qingxuan raised her creamy jade-like fingers and fiercely pointed towards the yellow-robed youth.
"Eternal Green!"
With a single point, a sharp green Finger Light shot through the void like lightning, stabbing towards the yellow-robed youth.
The yellow-robed youth was stunned for a moment, thinking that Hong Qingxuan was about to unleash some sort of ultimate technique—yet it was just a mere Finger Light. Did she really think such an attack could defeat him?
Ridiculous!
But in the next instant, the youth’s facial expression dramatically changed.
Because, the moment Hong Qingxuan’s Finger Light was unleashed, countless trees atop the nine surrounding peaks rapidly withered. The concentrated Wood Essence Qi formed into a green wave, rushing towards the Finger Light.
Hong Qingxuan’s Finger Light grew rapidly against the wind, swelling in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the tiny Finger Light transformed into a colossal green finger.
This green finger was hundreds of zhang long and had a diameter of several tens of zhang, containing the Wood Attribute Qi that was strong to the extreme.
"What?"
The young man in the yellow robe was immediately shocked, feeling tingles on his scalp, because the might of this green finger was not at all inferior to the attack of a martial master of the True Xuan Realm First Layer.
"How is this possible?"
The young man in the yellow robe exclaimed in shock, his strength was comparable to that of a half-step True Xuan Realm martial artist, but the gap between a half-step True Xuan Realm and the True Xuan Realm was as huge as the difference between a baby and an adult.
On the nine mountain peaks where people were watching the battle, everyone was also stunned.
"Does Hong Qingxuan actually have such a trump card?"
"Amazing! Truly worthy of being the direct disciple of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, possessing such formidable strength!"
"She’s only an Earth Martial Master Seventh Layer, yet she has the strength comparable to a martial master of the True Xuan Realm First Layer. If she reaches the Ninth Layer of Earth Martial Master, wouldn’t she sweep through the Outer Sect!"
People were discussing fervently, and the buzzing chatter filled the eight mountain peaks.
Lin Feng saw Hong Qingxuan’s move and slightly raised his eyebrows, this must be the Martial Emperor legacy of the ’Changqing Palace’, indeed extraordinary!
Lin Feng was not too surprised, a Martial Emperor Level legacy giving Hong Qingxuan such strength was nothing out of the ordinary, plus, Hong Qingxuan’s own talent and strength were already quite formidable.
Qian Xunyue mentioned that Hong Qingxuan had a unique physique, but Lin Feng had not noticed anything special about Hong Qingxuan’s physique!
On the Battle Platform.
Facing such a powerful strike from Hong Qingxuan, the young man in the yellow robe retreated explosively, rapidly exiting the Battle Platform.
Because he felt that if he did not retreat from the Battle Platform, he might die under this move.
The young man in the yellow robe stepped down from the Battle Platform, and with a wave of Hong Qingxuan’s hand, the gigantic green finger immediately dissipated, and the rich Wood Essence Qi quickly vanished into the world.
Lin Feng saw the dissipation of the rich Wood Essence Qi and couldn’t help but sigh. If that massive and dense Wood Essence Qi were given to him, his Wood Attribute Power would certainly be greatly enhanced.
Thinking of this, an idea struck Lin Feng, and in the future, when cultivating Wood attribute techniques, he could ask for Hong Qingxuan’s assistance. With her help, his Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique would surely progress rapidly, and the Wood Attribute Power in his body would also increase swiftly.
At this moment, Lin Feng touched his chin, no wonder the Thick Earth Palace Master said that he should gather the successors of the Nine Great Palaces!
The Nine Great Palaces of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace were respectively Golden Brilliance Palace, Changqing Palace, Moon Palace, Fire Burning Palace, Thick Earth Palace, Fengyun Palace, Thunder Palace, Radiant Palace, and Dark Night Palace.
Not to mention the latter four, if he could gather the successors of the Golden Brilliance Palace, Changqing Palace, Moon Palace, Fire Burning Palace, and Thick Earth Palace, wouldn’t it be perfect to have the Five Elements converge?
When the time comes, if the successors of the other four palaces could also, like Hong Qingxuan, gather a large amount of Attribute Power, and then all five assisted him together, how wonderful that would be!
Lin Feng felt more and more that it was feasible. Previously, he had put the task of finding the successors of the Nine Palaces out of his mind, but now it seemed that this matter had to be placed on the agenda!
Hong Qingxuan as the successor of the Changqing Palace is a sure thing!
As for the other four palaces, Wu Sheng has acquired the legacy of the Golden Brilliance Palace, but Wu Sheng has only received a half-step Martial Emperor legacy, and his talent is not high.
Hmm! Let’s consider Wu Sheng as a backup option for now!
Lin Feng didn’t have suitable candidates for the other three palaces and could only pay more attention to those with high talent in Water, Fire, and Earth attributes in the future.
Also, the last time, Wenren Tianyi received the Martial Emperor Level legacy of the Radiant Palace. His talent is also exceptionally high and he should think of a way to draw him over in the future, but he didn’t know which power he belonged to?
As Lin Feng was deep in thought about the matter of the successors of the Nine Palaces, on the Battle Platform, Hong Qingxuan raised her snow-white neck and looked towards Lin Feng.
Hong Qingxuan’s eyes were filled with smiles, as if she was saying: Brother Lin Feng, see, I’m not bad either!
However, seeing Lin Feng bowing his head and not looking at her, Hong Qingxuan couldn’t help feeling a bit bitter.
After a short while, Hong Qingxuan sighed softly. Lin Feng was not paying attention to her, and she no longer had the heart to continue the competition.
Her figure soared, and Hong Qingxuan returned to the top of the mountain.
Just as Hong Qingxuan left the Battle Platform, on the mountain peak where the disciples of Luotian Peak were located, a young man flew down in haste.
This person was Xiao Xuanyi.
Xiao Xuanyi landed on the Battle Platform, immediately directing his gaze at Lin Feng and coldly shouted: "Lin Feng, do you dare to come down for a battle?"
