Chapter 873 - 670: Shadow Celestial King
As the "mouse" was pierced through the heart, a cat-and-mouse game came to an end.
The opening of this game was dull, the process was actually not exciting, the ending seemed rushed, the truly exciting moments vanished quickly, and most of the viewers didn’t even see what happened.
Even though they didn’t clearly see it, Lin Feng’s use of Stand soul skills, constantly swapping positions with the Dragon Fish, resembling elegant skywalking, still made people’s hearts surge.
"That was so cool."
"Lin Feng’s speed is also very fast, feels even faster than Kong Feng’s Spatial Teleportation."
"In terms of speed, Kong Feng is faster, but Lin Feng is more agile, able to increase his speed with the Dragon Fish’s movement."
"Truly a perfect battle system to be envied!"
The audience watched the slow-motion replay on the big screen in the show, their originally puzzled and bewildered expressions quickly replaced by shock.
In an instant, hundreds of Dragon Fish flapped their wings simultaneously, crossing each other, and in the process continuously self-exploded, the exquisite scene showcasing violent aesthetics.
In this poetic scene, a vague silhouette appeared intermittently.
In the second stage of the Apostle’s debut, with Kong Feng in absolute control, when everyone doubted Lin Feng, he defied fate with three Divine Level soul skills.
The moves Lin Feng used in his second stage debut were actually the same as the first stage, not mysterious or fresh, but certainly effective.
The tactic of mastering one technique to conquer all situations is the principle here.
Of course, for the strong, real battles are often very simple, the process not complex.
Lin Feng’s battle style seems simple but is the result of combining multiple soul skills.
It’s not that Kong Feng isn’t strong; if he weren’t, he wouldn’t have the qualification to fight.
In the Pure Land, Kong Feng is quite renowned.
As a Double King powerhouse, Kong Feng holds Lower Martial King and Middle Spirit King strength, having refined two Demon Spirits, even against a typical Upper Spirit King, he won’t be disadvantaged.
As a Demon Spirit Master controlling the Power of Space, he possesses long-range combat abilities, and also is a terrifying Assassin, an Assassin with various curse soul skills.
His difficulty and danger even surpass that of an Upper Spirit King.
Few are willing to fight Kong Feng, even if they are more formidable, they may not be able to find his whereabouts.
An Assassin capable of hiding in spatial cracks and possessing curse soul skills, who wouldn’t fear him?
Kong Feng’s hiding ability is so strong that even Lin Feng can’t detect him.
Considering Lin Feng’s cultivation technique is "Fish Dragon Transformation", this Divine Skill can sense moisture in the air, yet Lin Feng still finds it challenging to detect the opponent’s whereabouts.
By the time he notices, the opponent is already launching an attack in front of him.
Lin Feng’s Lock soul skill fails directly against Kong Feng; otherwise, the battle process wouldn’t be difficult.
Evidently, this Kong Feng possesses soul skills that counteract Lock.
Lin Feng’s victory truly results from a perfect battle system plus the cumulative effect of three Divine Level soul skills.
"I hold grudges."
Lin Feng slowly withdrew his arm and said to Kong Feng, whose face was pale, and a trace of blood stained his lips.
Kong Feng’s body was mostly charred, marked by the explosion and thunder strikes, and behind him hung three semi-transparent Resentful Spirits, which swayed in the wind, continuously devouring his Soul Power and Qi and Blood. Meanwhile, he constantly needed to suppress the chilling sensation arising within him.
If he didn’t suppress it, that force would transform into cold, piercing thorns, piercing through his body from inside out, turning him into a spiky icy porcupine.
If it weren’t for refining Curse Series Demon Spirits, having a strong immunity to curse soul skills, he might have already caved in.
Lin Feng’s soul skills are very insidious.
Or one could say his battle system is inherently insidious.
When facing the burning sensation of explosions, the dizziness caused by intense impact, and the bodily stiffness from electrical paralysis, one still needs to be cautious of those increasingly insidious soul skills, a slight carelessness could lead to falling into traps.
Tricks silently achieved.
By the time they react, it’s already too late.
Lin Feng’s battle system is extremely perfect, surpassing his battle system. Even though Lin Feng’s strength is somewhat weaker, relying on a perfect battle system he can still defeat him.
"Damn it."
Kong Feng cursed inwardly.
He has never encountered an opponent more difficult and insidious than himself.
Kong Feng clutched his blood-soaked chest, slightly bowed his head, not daring to meet Lin Feng’s eyes.
He could feel Lin Feng’s impulse to kill him, an impulse not excessively concealed; if in another setting, he could already be dead.
Before joining the Pure Land, Kong Feng harbored the idea to kill Lin Feng.
Two years ago, he failed to assassinate Lin Feng, and grudges were born; the outbreak of conflict was only a matter of time.
Lin Feng’s growth speed was terrifyingly fast, so fast that he was frightened; originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to resolve this trouble, and perhaps claim the enormous bounty; he just didn’t expect Lin Feng to grow this much.
Even he wasn’t a match anymore.
Kong Feng endured the pain, turned his head, and looked toward the direction where the Fate Celestial King was.
The Fate Celestial King appeared as a sunny boy, just with a unique hairstyle.
His green hair cascaded to his waist, resembling vines, with hundreds of vibrant green leaves growing on it.
His age seemingly eighteen or nineteen, resembling a teenage boy less than twenty years old.
Among the Twelve Celestial Kings, aside from the childlike Immortal Celestial King, he looked the youngest.
Facing Kong Feng’s gaze, slightly tainted with pleading glances, he smiled gently, pulled a green glowing leaf from his hair, pointed it towards Kong Feng, and after a while, the leaf floated before Kong Feng and adhered to the bloodied position of his chest.
"World Tree."
Lin Feng witnessed with his own eyes Kong Feng’s bloodied chest visibly healing, astonished.
The Fate Celestial King, one of only two Divine Level Therapists worldwide, with the Lifebound Demon Spirit as the World Tree, ranked fifth in the Earth Chart, possesses the ability to regenerate severed limbs.
The World Tree is also acknowledged as the foremost Healing Series Demon Spirit.
With the Fate Celestial King’s supportive healing, unless beheaded, wanting to die is very difficult.
As Lin Feng marveled, two leaves appeared before him.
Lin Feng slightly bowed towards the direction of the Fate Celestial King to express thanks, then reached out to touch one leaf, a trace of red light passed over the leaf upon contact, instantly scattering, turning into a red mist and merging into his body, restoring the consumed Qi and Blood quickly, reaching for the other leaf, accompanied by a flicker of milky white light, Soul Power also swiftly restored.
"Compared to Chen Tianming’s healing effect, it’s ten times better."
Lin Feng thought to himself.
Chen Tianming’s Ninth Tier Life Mushroom is also very high, but it’s two levels short of the World Tree.
Such gaps can’t easily be bridged by absorbing some High Level soul skills, especially as the Fate Celestial King, his soul skill combinations mustn’t be low, possibly even more sophisticated.
"Ah, pity, originally planned to give it to my granddaughter."
Celestial King Kong sighed lightly, reluctantly handing the Water Infant Fruit to Celestial King Hai.
This Water Series Spirit Fruit lacks attribute limitation, most suitable for children’s Foundation Establishment and Washing Marrow.
He has only one Water Infant Fruit, once gone, it’s gone, rare to find.
Originally thought of as a winning situation, who would have thought he would still lose.
"Hahaha."
Celestial King Hai chuckled softly, and again tossed the just-earned Water Infant Fruit towards Lin Feng’s position.
"Who takes the third stage?"
Celestial King Hai asked.
With the healing from the Fate Celestial King, Lin Feng’s condition had restored, no need for rest.
"I’ll go."
This time didn’t wait in silence for too long, a woman in tight black clothing with long legs and smooth golden hair said.
The woman was around thirty to forty years old, golden hair and brown eyes, underneath the sun, her shadow was empty.
Surprisingly without a shadow.
"Shadow Celestial King, you must be steady."
Wind Celestial King spoke to the woman.
Without shadows, Shadow Celestial King ignored Wind Celestial King’s words, spoke slowly, her voice resonating throughout the venue.
"The third stage is simple, defeat my Apostle Shadow Spirit and win the Demon-Companion Grass."
Demon-Companion Grass, a Heaven and Earth Spirit Grass conceived from the consumption of Demon Spirit and flesh after Emperor Level Demon Beast dies, has the ability to enhance Demon Beast and Demon Spirit Soul Power, and facilitate their evolution.
Its value surpasses that of the Water Infant Fruit.
As Shadow Celestial King’s words fell, a figure flapped Spiritual Power Wings, appearing opposite Lin Feng.
It was a man in black attire with light brown skin, his hair fine and curled, short stature, nose flat, lips wide, judging from appearance, most likely from Yinfen Country.
Like Shadow Celestial King, under the sun, the man also had no shadow, under Lin Feng’s gaze, he smiled slightly, and in the next moment, his figure soared, muscles slightly expanded, face skin slided, except for the clothes he wore, now he looked exactly like Lin Feng, indistinguishable.
