Lin Feng smiled and looked at Xie Sha. Xie Sha nodded and looked at Shui Ning icily. He released slaughtering strength, it swept out from him. His slaughtering strength was much more powerful than before, and contained some demon strength. It had become genuinely slaughtering. Even though Lin Feng wasnât a High-Level Holy Emperor and didnât control slaughtering Dao, he understood life and death Dao. His intuition helped him understand it. Shui Ning looked grim, and glanced at Lin Feng. He didnât know this guy, where was he from? And why was he with Huo Wu? Huo Wu looked stupefied. Not only was Lin Feng strong, but he also had high comprehension abilities, which even allowed him to help others. He had just helped someone become a High-Level Holy Emperor! In a small world, such people were considered great and respected scholars. Even in the Holy Shrine, they just stood out. âI challenge you again. This time, I wonât be a disgrace for Sage Xie,â said Xie Sha, jumping back onto the stage. He raised his hands and a blood-red slaughtering Qi appeared. It was different from before. Before, he just looked like a slayer. Now, he looked like a genuine death god! Shui Ning looked glum. He was initially happy he had won, but now Lin Feng had just infuriated him. It was all Lin Fengâs fault! âHmph! I hope you wonât lose face again!â said Shui Ning grunted icily. He looked even more unhappy. Firmly holding his spear, he took three steps forwards and raised it. Xie Sha didnât have any weapon. He just relied on his own strength, on his fist, and his brutal slaughtering determination. In his previous battle, Xie Sha had been blown away by Shui Ningâs spear attack. But now, Lin Feng had helped him become stronger. Of course, even though Shui Ning was a cultivator of the top of the Low-Level Holy Emperor layer, he was much stronger than some ordinary High-Level Holy Emperors. Xie Sha was now a new High-Level Holy Emperor. His cultivation wasnât stable. Therefore, after battling for some time, Shui Ning noticed a flaw in his cultivation. He took advantage of that flaw and defeated Xie Sha once again. But this time it wasnât as easy as the first time. Shui Ning had been forced to use his full strength to push Xie Sha off the stage. âAwww, I lost again. Iâm sorry, sir, I probably disappointed you,â said Xie Sha. His eyes were red, and he felt guilty. But by saying that, he also made fun of Shui Ning. Lin Feng understood it that way, as well. Actually, Xie Sha was quite satisfied. Indeed, Xie Sha was just one of Sage Xieâs people, but Shui Ning was Sage Shuiâs son. It was a big difference. Xie Sha had been able to have a fierce and long battle against Shui Ning, he could be proud of himself. âKeep up the good work. Go and learn from Sage Xie. Tell him Lin Feng told you to do so,â said Lin Feng smiling patiently. Xie Sha nodded and cupped his fist before leaving. Lin Feng turned to Shui Ning. âAnyone else wants to challenge me?â said Shui Ning proudly. âIâll come,â said an old man flying out of the crowd. Even though he looked old already, nothing proved that Shui Ning wasnât also just as old. Nobody could be a teenager or a young adult and be a spiritual being already. The old man jumped onto the stage and attacked Shui Ning. The old man controlled level three speed Dao. The old man threw his fist at Shui Ningâs chest. Shui Ning released space and time Dao strength. The space under his feet changed. Even though he controlled speed Dao, his enemy and he were still both in the same space. Shui Ning smiled icily and threw out his fist. It contained ice Qi. The old man used both forearms to stop Shui Ningâs attack. Shui Ning grunted coldly. He attacked the space with his left hand and destroyed it, then it continued moving towards and crashed against the old manâs arms. The old man slipped backwards and out of the battle stage. âYou lost!â said Shui Ning indifferently. The old man looked neither happy nor sad. He wiped the blood off his mouth, cupped his fist, and left. âThe old man just now was an elder of the Holy Shrine,â Huo Wu said to Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded. The old man was quite strong, so his rank couldnât be that low in the Holy Shrine, but still elders were just above ordinary members in the Holy Shrine. âEverybody can give up. Nobody can defeat me,â said Shui Ning proudly. Hearing him infuriated many people. He was exasperating and infuriating, but what could people do? He had defeated Xie Sha and the elder of the Holy Shrine. It proved he was strong. âA wise man understands and submits to circumstances. You wonât have any opportunity this year. You can come tomorrow, but beware, donât lose face trying to become prestigious. âI fought fifteen battles and didnât lose a single one. You think people like you can do anything against me?â said Shui Ning slowly. He sounded extremely arrogant. Everybody clenched their fists. People were terribly angry, but they werenât strong enough to teach him a good lesson. They didnât dare say anything, because they didnât want to offend him or Sage Shui. When Lin Feng saw everybody around him was furious, he shook his head. he thought. Lin Feng shook his head, he was bored and tired of being surrounded by people like this. He got ready to leave and go back to the Gods Sect to get ready for the holy cultivatorsâ competition. âWho said nobody can defeat you? He can!â proclaimed a clear and melodious voice as Lin Feng walked away. Everybody looked at him. Lin Feng turned around and looked at Huo Wu. She was pointing at him with her finger and glancing at Shui Ning angrily. Shui Ning stared at Lin Feng icily. Lin Feng had tried to ruin his plans, he already didnât like him. But he was careful, he didnât know what Lin Fengâs background was, and he might have a social status, so he didnât offend him. But Huo Wu willingly provoked him. Besides, she said Lin Feng could defeat him, that made him angry, and he took it as a challenge. Lin Feng was embarrassed. Huo Wu was too troublesome! âI wonât fight. I donât care about the heroesâ plate. Donât misunderstand me,â Lin Feng said to Shui Ning dismissively, and then continued walking away. Lin Feng didnât feel like fighting. He wasnât interested in the heroesâ plate. Even if he defeated Shui Ning, his name would only be at the bottom of the list. There was nothing dazzling or prestigious about that. If it had been Di Shu and if Lin Feng had been strong enough, he would have challenged him. Lin Feng refused to fight. Many people sighed in disappointment because Lin Feng wouldnât teach Shui Ning a good lesson. Some others were disappointed because they liked trouble, and they looked at Lin Feng mockingly. âHehe. I am a strong cultivator. Cowards obviously donât want to fight against me. You can leave,â said Shui Ning, smiling mockingly. He was delighted when he saw that Huo Wu look furious. He smiled arrogantly and said, âWhat makes you think that coward of yours could defeat me? âHe has no background and no balls. Heâs a powerless piece of trash. And you think heâs qualified to fight against me?â âIt wouldnât even be an honor to defeat such a weakling,â jeered Shui Ning sharply. Huo Wu ground her teeth and trembled with fury. But what could she do against Shui Ning? âShui Ning, I donât feel like challenging you, but itâs not because I am afraid of you. You donât need to be provocative!â shouted Lin Feng. âWhy then?â sneered Shui Ning. He was interested in Lin Fengâs reply. He was willingly infuriating Lin Feng to humiliate both him and Huo Wu. He had the impression Lin Feng couldnât refuse anymore. But Lin Feng clearly understood what he was thinking. âBecause youâre not worth challenging,â Lin Feng said simply, smiling icily. Everybody suddenly stopped talking. Silence invaded the space. Some people even held their breath and looked at them both. By saying that, Lin Feng had humiliated and provoked Shui Ning. As expected, when Shui Ning heard Lin Feng, his face turned grim. âWhy do you say that? You think youâre qualified to talk to me like that?!â shouted Shui Ning furiously. âWhy do you ask me that? You think youâre qualified to talk to me like that?!â replied Lin Feng as well, laying it on thick. Everybody was curious to know what was going to happen next. A great battle?! âYou really want to die!â Finally, Shui Ning couldnât hold it anymore, and in a burst of rage, he threw his spear at Lin Fengâs chest.
