Whoosh!

Lin Feng gripped his Sword with both hands, secretly rousing the ten types of Sword Star within his body, then hacked down viciously. The Demon Sword tore open space itself and chopped straight at Liao Yunjian’s skull.

"Not good!" Liao Yunjian’s face changed dramatically. In that split-second, Dark Power surged through his entire body as he resisted the attacks of the many Lifebound Spirit Swords. He swept his Longsword horizontally to block Lin Feng’s incomparably powerful strike.

The next instant!

Ten billion Demon Swords, wrapped in a world-annihilating force, slashed down in a flash and smashed violently into the treasure sword in Liao Yunjian’s hand.

Boom!

A heaven-shaking explosion rocked the entire great hall. The peerless power poured down, making Liao Yunjian’s whole body tremble violently.

Ugh~~

Liao Yunjian let out a muffled groan as the overwhelming force numbed his entire body. Even the Protective Dark Power around him was shattered in an instant.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

The twenty-eight Lifebound Swords seized the chance to wildly grind and slice, instantly shredding Liao Yunjian into dozens of pieces.

Ah!

A shrill scream rang out. The next moment, Liao Yunjian’s Melt Spirit Beast Soul shot out like a phantom, fleeing at top speed.

But the Melt Spirit Beast Soul had barely escaped a few dozen zhang before its figure abruptly froze, as if bound by something.

"You have no chance to run." Lin Feng said coldly. He pushed Devouring Stars to the extreme, firmly enveloping the Melt Spirit Beast Soul.

"What’s going on? Damn it!" The Melt Spirit Beast spoke human words—it was Liao Yunjian’s voice, full of terror and fury.

"Devour for me!" Lin Feng drove Devouring Stars with all his strength. The Devouring Power not only bound the Melt Spirit Beast Soul, it also drew over the Dark Power and blood energy contained in Liao Yunjian’s shattered flesh.

By this point, he no longer cared if Nie Qian and Han Ying learned the ability of his Star. Devour first, talk later. Roar!

The Melt Spirit Beast let out an enraged roar, struggling madly, trying to break free of the Devouring Power’s Binding.

Lin Feng, meanwhile, had already pushed Devouring Stars to the extreme. The powerful Devouring Power firmly bound the Melt Spirit Beast.

For the moment, Devouring Stars couldn’t swallow the Melt Spirit Beast, and the Melt Spirit Beast couldn’t escape either. They were locked in a brief stalemate.

This Melt Spirit Beast was originally a special kind of Battle Soul, and Liao Yunjian himself was at the Second Layer Peak of the Martial Emperor Realm. Although his physical body was dead, his Battle Soul was still incomparably strong.

Not far away, Nie Qian and Han Ying were both dumbstruck, their hearts surging like a raging sea. They were completely shocked by Lin Feng’s strength.

In almost a single breath, the powerful Liao Yunjian had actually been suppressed and killed by Lin Feng, leaving only a Battle Soul behind!

Quasi Emperor Realm cultivation, yet such terrifying strength!

The two of them couldn’t help thinking of the rumored incident where Lin Feng rejected Huo Yuan the Saint Master’s offer to take him as a disciple. It seemed Lin Feng wasn’t stupid at all, but proud to the extreme in his heart!

"Get over here!" Seeing that he still couldn’t devour the Melt Spirit Beast Soul, Lin Feng suddenly let out an angry shout, spread his big hand, and grabbed toward the Melt Spirit Beast Soul.

In an instant, a giant tricolored Dark Power hand crossed the space and seized the bound Melt Spirit Beast Soul in one grasp.

"Lin Feng, let me go, you can’t kill me!" The Melt Spirit Beast roared immediately. Even with his life hanging by a thread, Liao Yunjian was still overbearing.

"Oh? Why not?" Lin Feng didn’t rush to devour him, but asked coldly.

"I’m from the Taishi Family. If you kill me, you’ll die too!" The Melt Spirit Beast barked coldly, full of arrogance.

"The Taishi Family? You don’t even bear the Taishi surname. You think I’m an idiot?" Lin Feng sneered.

"Hmph, I’m an out-clan member of the Taishi Family. My mother is from the Taishi Family." The Melt Spirit Beast shouted loudly.

"Out-clan?" A pensive look flashed across Lin Feng’s face at these words.

"That’s right. Let me go and you’ll have a chance to live!" The Melt Spirit Beast said arrogantly. Right now Liao Yunjian’s Divine Soul was hidden inside the Melt Spirit Beast. He was nearly driven mad with rage, but still forcibly suppressed his anger, determined to use the Taishi Family as a tiger skin to crush Lin Feng.

In truth, although Liao Yunjian was an out-clan member of the Taishi Family, his status within the clan was extremely low.

His Talent was already extremely strong, and he had been enduring in silence all this time, hoping to find some Super Star or Battle Soul and soar in one leap.

A few years back, he had indeed encountered many powerful Stars. For example, when he was at the Martial Emperor Realm, he killed a super genius in the Martial King Realm who had a Heavenly Level Ninth Rank Star, and drew out the other party’s Star after killing him.

He spent a full month considering it, and in the end still didn’t fuse it. He wanted to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm first, then seek an incomparably powerful Battle Soul.

Heaven does not disappoint the painstaking. He finally discovered that a Demon Soul of a Demon Armor Clan ancestor was sealed here, and it was an incomparably powerful Demon Soul—a Demon Armor Clan Demon Soul at the Martial Saint Realm.

No one knew how many ages this Demon Soul had been sealed here. It was simply perfect for him.

However, he alone couldn’t get in, and he couldn’t bring anyone too strong either, or there’d be no share of the Demon Soul left for him.

So he recruited Nie Qian and the others—people whose strength wasn’t weak, but still inferior to his.

Yet despite all his calculations, he never imagined that Lin Feng, whom he had originally least regarded, would be hiding this deep, and would end up screwing him over this miserably.

"The Taishi Family is indeed extraordinary." Hearing the Melt Spirit Beast’s words, Lin Feng nodded slightly.

"Of course. Release me immediately and apologize, and not only will I not pursue this, I can even recommend you to the Taishi Family in the future!"

The Melt Spirit Beast said, his tone mellowing. As long as he escaped with his life today, he had a hundred ways to kill Lin Feng later.

"Brother Su, why don’t we let him go?" Nie Qian said from the side. He had no backing whatsoever, and thought that if Liao Yunjian died, he would inevitably be implicated.

Han Ying’s face didn’t look good either. The Taishi Family—this was a super power of the Ancient Spirit Star River, one of the topmost forces among the Human Clan!

"Let me give you a line." Lin Feng ignored Nie Qian, his gaze resting on the Melt Spirit Beast. Suddenly he laughed, with a strange, mocking light in his eyes.

"What line?" Liao Yunjian was stunned.

"You’ve once again refreshed the lower limit of IQ." Lin Feng said with a light laugh. As his words fell, he suddenly flung his big hand, and the Dark Power hand hurled the Melt Spirit Beast straight into Devouring Stars.

Toward enemies, Lin Feng never showed mercy, nor did he accept threats.

"Ah!" A scream of sheer terror burst from the Melt Spirit Beast’s mouth, then it vanished into the pitch-black vortex of Devouring Stars.

The scene fell completely silent.

After that, Lin Feng carefully sensed for a moment and found that his Devouring Stars had thoroughly devoured and fused the Melt Spirit Beast Soul, but the Star had not advanced.

A short while later, Lin Feng walked over to Liao Yunjian’s mangled corpse and took his Storage Ring.

"B–Brother Su, y-you just killed him like that?" Nie Qian stared blankly, a chill creeping up in his heart. Lin Feng was actually this decisive!

Not only had he killed Liao Yunjian, he had even devoured Liao Yunjian’s Battle Soul!

"Brother Su, killing Liao Yunjian will probably bring trouble later!" Han Ying’s pretty face had gone slightly pale.

"Brother Nie, Miss Han, given Liao Yunjian’s character, if we let him live, do you think he would let us go in the future?" Lin Feng sighed and asked them.

Nie Qian and Han Ying fell silent at his words. Of course they knew you had to cut the grass at the root, but when they thought of the Taishi Family, they couldn’t help feeling uneasy.

"You two, Liao Yunjian was killed by me. This has nothing to do with either of you." Seeing their expressions, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly.

"Brother Su, why would you say that? That Liao Yunjian tried to pit and kill us. His death is more than deserved. I’m willing to bear the consequences with you."

Nie Qian said firmly. He couldn’t let Lin Feng shoulder this alone, or he’d never be at peace.

Besides, Lin Feng devouring those Evil Spirits earlier had been a life-saving grace to him.

"That’s right! Brother Su, this matter was done by the three of us. Whatever consequences there are, the three of us will bear them together!" Han Ying also nodded, her expression resolute.

If not for Lin Feng today, her fate would have been unimaginable. Naturally, she couldn’t wash her hands of it.

Seeing this, Lin Feng nodded slightly. He really hadn’t expected these two to be so loyal and righteous; they were indeed people worth befriending.
