279: Bring it to you

"Two against one, the advantage is mine!"

Spirit Lord Huang Liang's sharp voice cut through the brief silence. In his shifty rat-like eyes, unconcealed greed and murderous intent flickered.

"Fellow Daoist Huan, what are you waiting for? Let's attack together, and we'll slowly divide whatever is in that bottle!"

Huan Tianqi's face was ashen, and he said nothing, but the giant sword in his hand, which pierced through heaven and earth, once again shone brightly, already indicating his stance.

"You're courting death!"

Xu Tian roared, and golden flames shot up from the surface of his newly formed Physical Body.

He knew that his current state was extremely disadvantageous in a two-on-one fight, but his inherent arrogance would never allow him to retreat in front of two inferior races.

The next moment, the three figures moved.

There was no probing, no holding back; from the very start, it was a deadly attack.

"Myriad Demon Devouring Soul Claw!"

Spirit Lord Huang Liang stood upright, a gigantic earthy-yellow claw covering the sky and sun, carrying Demonic Qi that corroded the Divine Soul, striking directly at Xu Tian's heart.

"Heavenly Sword, Void Sever!"

Huan Tianqi unleashed a sword strike, the sword light pure to the extreme, as if it wanted to split this underground space in two.

"Blazing Sun Burning Heaven!"

Xu Tian formed hand seals, and a small sun appeared before him. The violent True Sun Fire transformed into a sea of flames, meeting the attacks of the two.

Boom—!

Three completely different Void Refining-level powers violently collided, and the entire Tomb of the Setting Sun trembled intensely under the impact.

Violent energy currents raged everywhere, sweeping the scattered treasures on the ground into chaotic flight.

Amidst this chaos, an inconspicuous shockwave happened to strike the small black bottle lying quietly on the ground.

Whoosh!

The small bottle was flung high, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

The actions of the three stopped simultaneously at this moment.

"Divine Blood!"

In their eyes, there was no longer any trace of each other, only the small black bottle tumbling in mid-air.

Almost at the same time, Spirit Lord Huang Liang's demonic claw, Huan Tianqi's sword light, and Xu Tian's sea of flames all changed direction, sweeping towards the small bottle.

As the three forces were about to collide again in mid-air,

A ghost-like figure appeared without warning beneath the small bottle.

The figure was extremely fast, as if appearing out of thin air, and merely raised a hand.

A clean, slender hand then steadily held the small black bottle.

Time, as if, solidified at this moment.

Huan Tianqi, Spirit Lord Huang Liang, and Xu Tian, the attacks of the three Void Refining mighty figures, all froze midway.

They stared with wide eyes at the person who had suddenly appeared.

The newcomer wore an ordinary green robe, with a handsome face and an indifferent expression. It was precisely the Nascent Soul cultivator they had previously thought to be dead at Shi Yan's hands.

"It's you!" Huan Tianqi's voice carried a hint of surprise.

"You're not dead?" Spirit Lord Huang Liang's rat-like eyes were filled with disbelief.

Xu Tian's reaction was the most intense. The Soul fire in his eye sockets flickered violently, and his voice was filled with extreme venom.

"You killed Shi Yan! And you dared to ambush me! Hand over the Divine Blood!"

Lin Feng held the small black bottle in his hand, casually tossing it, as if it wasn't a divine object that could make Void Refining mighty figures fight over, but an ordinary pebble.

He raised his eyelids, glanced at the three, and a playful smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

"You want it?"

He slowly raised his other hand.

A familiar yet terrifying aura began to condense in his palm.

A ball of black-blue flame, like an unstable black hole, quietly appeared. The surrounding space began to twist and wail.

The moment he saw this ball of flame, Xu Tian's body trembled violently.

That terrifying sensation of being severely injured by a single blow and having his Physical Body collapse, once again surged into his mind like a nightmare.

"Retreat quickly!"

He let out a terrified scream, and without thinking, his figure transformed into a golden light, frantically retreating backward.

Although Huan Tianqi and Spirit Lord Huang Liang had not personally experienced it, the destructive aura was undeniable, and the earth-shattering explosion from before was still vivid in their minds.

Both their expressions changed drastically, and they likewise retreated without hesitation, instantly putting several hundred zhang of distance between themselves and Lin Feng. Their entire magical power surged, and they conjured their strongest defensive Magic Treasures.

Lin Feng watched the three react like startled birds, and the smile on his face deepened.

He flicked his wrist.

The ball of black-blue flame then floated lightly towards the three.

Its speed was not fast, even somewhat slow, as if it could extinguish at any moment in mid-air.

But in the eyes of the three, this was like a death warrant from the Grim Reaper.

"Damn it!"

The three used every ounce of their strength, piling various protective divine lights and defensive Magic Treasures in front of them as if they were free.

However, the expected world-destroying explosion did not occur.

The ball of black-blue flame flew to within ten zhang of the three, and in their horrified eyes, it was like a soap bubble that had been pricked.

"Puff."

A soft sound.

The flame just... extinguished.

It only turned into a wisp of green smoke, dissipating into the air.

Dead silence.

Huan Tianqi, Spirit Lord Huang Liang, and Xu Tian remained in their defensive postures, stunned in place, their expressions incredibly complex.

They stared blankly at the dissipating wisp of green smoke, then looked at Lin Feng, who had already turned around and was preparing to leave unhurriedly in the distance.

An indescribable sense of humiliation, mixed with towering rage, exploded in their hearts.

"We... we were tricked!" Spirit Lord Huang Liang shrieked, his voice changing pitch.

"You bastard!"

Xu Tian's handsome face turned a pig-liver color. He suddenly reacted, letting out a heaven-shaking roar.

"He can't use it a second time! That move has huge limitations! Chase! I'm going to grind him to dust!"

Huan Tianqi's face was also so dark that water could drip from it.

He, a dignified Human Race Void Refining mighty figure, had actually been toyed with in such a manner by a junior who had appeared from who knows where.

"This child must not be allowed to live!"

The three no longer hesitated, transforming into three streaks of light, carrying endless killing intent, and frantically chasing after Lin Feng.

Within the tomb passage, a chase instantly unfolded.

Lin Feng used the Wind-Thunder Escape, his figure transforming into a streak of lightning in the narrow tomb passage, moving at an astonishing speed.

However, those chasing him were, after all, three Void Refining mighty figures. Even though they were all injured, their speed was by no means negligible, and the distance between them was gradually closing.

"Kid in front, you can't escape! Hand over the Divine Blood obediently, and this Lord can leave you a complete corpse!" Spirit Lord Huang Liang's voice sounded from behind.

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Huan Tianqi, beside him, suddenly stumbled. An invisible Sword Qi "accidentally" grazed his body and struck Spirit Lord Huang Liang in front.

Spirit Lord Huang Liang grunted, and his speed faltered.

"Oh dear, Fellow Daoist Huan, I'm getting old, and my steps are a bit unsteady. Please bear with me!" Huan Tianqi said expressionlessly.

"You!" Spirit Lord Huang Liang trembled with anger, but could only swallow this hidden loss.

On the other side, the most enraged Xu Tian was in the lead, seemingly about to catch up.

Suddenly, a foul-smelling, earthy-yellow demonic wind blew from behind him, sweeping up countless broken stones and smashing them head-on at him.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Tian, your injuries are not yet healed. Do not overexert yourself; be careful of the strong wind hurting your waist!" Spirit Lord Huang Liang's sinister voice came.

"You two good-for-nothings!"

Xu Tian was furious. He suddenly turned around, opening his mouth to spew a golden sea of flames, indiscriminately covering Huan Tianqi and Spirit Lord Huang Liang behind him.

"When I catch him, I'll come back and slaughter each of you!"

For a time, in the chasing tomb passage, Sword Qi crisscrossed, demonic winds howled, and flames darted about.

The three were ostensibly chasing their enemy, but in reality, they were tripping each other up, none wanting the other two to get ahead.

Lin Feng flew ahead, his Divine Sense clearly observing everything behind him.

He sneered inwardly.

These three were indeed each harboring ulterior motives.

Three injured Early Stage Void Refining Cultivators, still suspicious of each other.

This was simply... a touchstone delivered to his doorstep.

Lin Feng's speed imperceptibly slowed down.

He turned his head, looking at the three chaotic streaks of light behind him, and a hint of excited Battle Intent gradually appeared in his eyes.
