"Let you kill, yet you dare not, what kind of sect elder are you." Lin Feng sneered, turned around, and slashed with his sword, severing the head of a python with unparalleled sharpness.
Seeing Lin Feng's sinister smirk, He Chong dared not move recklessly, already believing Lin Feng's words. Similarly, Mo Xie did not dare to take the risk personally. The dark shadow that had directly appeared on his body last time had left him with a profound shock, which had not yet faded.
The beast tide became increasingly violent, and the reinforcements from the Yunhai Sect gradually increased. One by one, the disciples' eyes shone brightly as they charged into the beast horde, beginning to hunt, as if they were the beasts themselves.
Liu Fei also arrived. Seeing Lin Feng move through the beast horde as if nothing were there, with every sword strike causing beast blood to splash, and that Lin Feng was not even using his Spirit Martial Realm strength, only exerting the power of the Ninth Level Qi Martial Realm, his sword techniques were unstructured, yet every strike was extremely powerful.
Lin Feng's sword had reached a state of complete mastery, fast, accurate, and ruthless. Even without using sword techniques, it was still incredibly powerful. The crowd could not discern just how formidable his strength truly was.
"Damn guy." Liu Fei cursed Lin Feng in her heart, took out a bow and arrow from her back, and an arrow pierced the air, directly killing a beast that Lin Feng was about to deal with.
Lin Feng turned around and saw Liu Fei's cold, icy gaze, smiled indifferently, and was not bothered at all.
"Roar." At this moment, an angry roar echoed, hooves thundered, and the earth trembled. Everyone felt the ground about to collapse, their faces changing slightly.
"A powerful beast is coming, retreat quickly."
Many people began to retreat as a terrifying beast aura rose into the sky, and a dense black fog gradually approached from the distance, withering the trees along the way instantly.
"How terrifying."
The crowd rapidly retreated. A beast of this level was at least a Spirit Beast. For outer sect disciples to confront it would be courting death.
Lin Feng also felt this overwhelming beast aura and continuously retreated. He was not arrogant enough to think he could withstand the beast tide alone. The previous group of beasts was just a minor disturbance.
However, just as Lin Feng was retreating, a powerful oppressive force descended upon him, pushing his body from behind, making him stiff and unable to retreat.
"Beast." Lin Feng shouted angrily, his expression cold, his eyes glaring at Mo Xie behind him. He knew without a doubt who was causing this. Only Mo Xie, the elder, could exert such a great oppressive force, stopping him from retreating.
Hearing Lin Feng's angry shout, Mo Xie remained unmoved, sneering inwardly. Being scared by a few words from an outer sect disciple had cost him his dignity. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was wrong. How could the Shadow Martial Soul wielder always follow Lin Feng? Moreover, Mo Xie had carefully observed the surroundings and found no extra shadows.
Of course, Mo Xie could not be entirely sure the other was not there, so he used this method to test Lin Feng.
The powerful beast aura grew closer, the earth seeming to be overturned. The crowd saw a mass of black fog approaching from the distance, surrounded by various powerful beasts, each exuding a chilling aura.
"Finished, Elder Mo Xie is deliberately making things difficult for him; he is doomed."
Everyone retreated behind Mo Xie, leaving only Lin Feng blocked. The crowd understood this was Mo Xie's doing and secretly cursed Lin Feng for not knowing his place. This was the consequence of offending an elder.
"This beast aura is so powerful; if I stay here, I will surely die."
Lin Feng, with his keen senses, shouted in anger, his figure flickering, trying to retreat around Mo Xie.
"Hmph, it seems the Shadow Martial Soul wielder is not following." Mo Xie sneered inwardly but said, "As a disciple of the Yunhai Sect, you dare to flee in battle, disgracing the Yunhai Sect."
As he spoke, a vine erupted from Mo Xie's body, extremely thick and moving at incredible speed, instantly reaching Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's already stiff body trembled, the vine instantly coiling around him, quickly binding him like a giant python, making him unable to move.
"Martial Soul, this is Elder Mo Xie's Python Vine Martial Soul."
The crowd's hearts trembled. It seemed Mo Xie was determined to put Lin Feng to death. An outer sect disciple daring to defy an elder, the outcome was already decided.
However, some people secretly despised him. A sect elder targeting an outer sect disciple was something only a narrow-minded person like Mo Xie could do. But they only dared to keep this thought in their hearts, not daring to speak out. In this situation, who would dare to anger Mo Xie?
"Despicable." Lin Feng shouted in anger, his sword flashing, but his powerful strike only cut a small wound on the Python Vine Martial Soul, unable to break it.
Although Lin Feng was talented and could handle opponents of the same level with ease, even fighting those of higher realms, Mo Xie, as an inner sect elder, was far too strong. The gap in strength was too great to be bridged by talent alone. Faced with Mo Xie's despicable tactics, Lin Feng was helpless.
"Great inner sect elder, how shameless you are."
At this moment, a cold voice echoed, making everyone pause. The speaker was Liu Fei, the beautiful and sought-after outer sect disciple.
"Hmm?" Mo Xie frowned, glanced at Liu Fei, and coldly snorted but did not dare to touch her. He knew Liu Fei's background. Liu Fei's father and his father, Mo Canglan, shared the same name, but when mentioning Canglan, the first person the Yunhai Sect thought of was Liu Canglan, who was a generation younger than Mo Canglan.
The divine archer Liu Canglan, once a peer of the current sect master, Nangong Ling, both being the Yunhai Sect's unparalleled geniuses, surpassing all their contemporaries, and their friendship was very deep.
The Arrow Martial Soul was released, the Silver玄Bow tightly held in hand, Liu Fei once again nocked six arrows and shot them at the Python Vine Martial Soul.
Liu Canglan was a man of great righteousness, and Liu Fei hated evil. Although she despised Lin Feng, she could not tolerate Mo Xie's despicable actions, which were utterly shameless.
Knowing the arrows would be useless, Liu Fei still shot them. As expected, they did not affect the Python Vine Martial Soul.
A hint of amusement flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He did not expect that the only one to stand up and help him would be Liu Fei.
"Human hearts are treacherous; I was too careless." Lin Feng sighed inwardly. He had not anticipated encountering Mo Xie, nor had he expected Mo Xie to be so despicable.
Moreover, Mo Xie was the strongest here, so he had the final say. No one dared to defy him, except for Liu Fei, but her resistance was futile.
"Roar..." The beast horde approached fiercely, moving at incredible speed. A mass of black fog roared, swallowing everything in its path, incredibly powerful.
"What a powerful Illusion Demon Beast, it must be at the Seventh Level." Mo Xie felt the terrifying aura and thought to himself. A Seventh Level Spirit Beast was equivalent to a Seventh Level Spirit Martial Realm expert. Combined with the beast's inherent ferocity and terror, an ordinary Seventh Level Spirit Martial Realm martial cultivator was no match for this Illusion Demon Beast.
As for Lin Feng... a cold, lethal glint flashed in Mo Xie's eyes.
"Mo Xie, you are outrageous." A thunderous voice rolled over, the person not yet there, but the voice already reaching.
Mo Xie's face changed, his gaze turning fierce. The Python Vine Martial Soul flung Lin Feng's body away, directly toward the beast horde.
