Chapter 580: All Sounds Return to Silence
The sound of the zither, which was being devoured, was already pouring down from above.
Five sonic blades sliced almost past Lin Feng's back, one of which blocked his left retreat, while the other four aimed straight for vital points.
Without turning his head, Lin Feng's Sky-Chasing Boots left two afterimages in the void as he flashed through the air.
Four sonic blades grazed past his side, the closest one only cutting a section of his clothing behind his shoulder.
Using the momentum from his dodge, he shot forward like an arrow, once again appearing before Blood Butcher.
Blood Butcher's pupils contracted sharply, and his right fist instinctively rose to block. However, Lin Feng's spear tip deflected his right arm, and the spear shaft thrust forward, the blade aimed straight for his throat.
Blood Butcher used all his strength to tilt his head to the side, and the spear blade sliced fiercely across his neck, missing by only half an inch.
He felt as if he had been snatched back from the jaws of death, his back instantly soaked in cold sweat.
Lin Feng gave him no chance to breathe, raising his left hand and shooting out a 【Blazing Spear Light】 that grazed his face.
Blood Butcher instinctively leaned back, the spear's edge grazing his nose. Lin Feng used the trailing light of the spear's edge to step to his side, raising the Wildfire Spear high and slashing down diagonally like golden lightning.
Blood Butcher raised his left arm to block, the spear blade striking the 【Mountain Shattering Arm Armor】, gold and blood clashing violently.
He was in excruciating pain, veins bulging on his forehead, but he still used his last breath to fly backward, roaring at Shiyin, "Use your killing move! Don't worry about me!"
Panic finally showed in Shi Yin's eyes, but as a Grandmaster, she reacted extremely quickly.
The ancient zither, Guiji, spun horizontally, and all its strings simultaneously became filled with blood-red light—【Ten Thousand Sounds Return to Silence】 was activated.
A silent tide swept over Lin Feng, trying to drag him into a state of "numbness" and forcefully crush his blocking rate.
Lin Feng only glanced at her coldly. The silent tide fell on him, still like waves crashing against rocks, shattering without a sound.
He ignored the Sound Devourer and transformed into a golden lightning bolt, catching up with Blood Butcher.
Blood Butcher had already retreated a hundred meters, but Lin Feng's 【Meteor Flash】 was even faster, appearing out of thin air in front of him.
With a raise of his left hand—【Ring of Imprisonment】, the power of imprisonment is activated.
Crimson binding runes surged from the ring, enveloping Blood Butcher.
Blood Butcher roared, his body radiating crimson light. The binding runes landed on him, making a "clang" sound, like iron chains binding a maddened beast, only to be forcibly broken.
Lin Feng remained calm, raised his right hand, and ten 【Blazing Spear Beams】 shot out, blocking all of Xue Tu's escape routes from the front, sides, and above.
A ferocious look flashed across Blood Butcher's face, and he changed his footing—【Shattering Mountain - Shifting Step】.
Each step involved moving only a foot or two to the side, with a very small range, yet the rhythm was strangely fast.
His body moved like a slippery eel, weaving back and forth among the ten spear beams. His shoulders, waist, and hips constantly made subtle adjustments. The golden-red spear beams grazed his clothes and arm armor, yet none of them managed to hit him head-on.
All ten spear beams missed their mark.
"That's it?" Blood Butcher gasped for breath, grinning widely.
Lin Feng didn't reply. He stepped forward and crashed into the object like a golden lightning bolt.
The sound of the zither poured down from above, and countless sonic blades chased after Lin Feng like a storm.
Lin Feng °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° didn't turn around at all. He stepped on the Sky Chasing Boots in the void, and took the unavoidable sound blades head-on. The Blood Pattern Blade hit the golden light shining on his 【Armor Return to One】, making a dull impact sound and only bringing in a little over 200 points of damage.
He chased after Blood Butcher, and with a flick of his wrist, the tip of his Wildfire Spear shot out like a torrential rain, seven shots in a second, each aimed straight for a vital spot.
Blood Butcher frantically swung his arms, and the Shattered Mountain Armor desperately blocked. The spear blade and the arm armor collided repeatedly, and golden sparks and blood-red fragments of light exploded like fireworks.
He parried four shots, but Lin Feng's gun was too fast and too heavy. The other three shots passed right through his defenses and pierced his shoulder, ribs, and thigh.
Each shot dealt over 500 damage, and the crimson aura protecting the body trembled violently beneath the spear tip, cracking open with fine lines.
Blood Butcher's face contorted in pain, blood gushing from his mouth, yet he continued to fight and retreat, trying to create distance.
"How many more hits can you take?" Lin Feng's voice was calm, but his gunshots grew increasingly violent.
He no longer attacked only one point; the tip of his spear moved left and right, up and down, like a venomous snake burrowing into the gaps in the Blood Butcher Armguard.
Blood Butcher's parries became slower and slower, his wounds multiplied, the blood light faded, and his eyes were blurred with blood, leaving him only able to throw punches instinctively.
Lin Feng pierced through his last line of defense with a single spear thrust, the tip penetrating his lower abdomen with a powerful twist.
Blood Butcher's movements suddenly froze. He looked down at the golden spear blade stuck in his abdomen, and a mouthful of black blood gushed from his mouth.
He grabbed the gun barrel like a madman, trying to pull Lin Feng closer and unleash the 【Shattering Mountain, Breaking City】 attack with his last breath.
Lin Feng didn't give him that chance. With a flick of his arm, he spun the gun around, knocking Xue Tu's arms away. Then he pulled the gun back and swept the butt of the gun across Xue Tu's temple.
Blood Butcher's entire face was distorted by the shot; his cheekbones collapsed, and one of his eyes was smashed open.
He could no longer make a sound, and like a puppet with its strings cut, he spun and fell from a height of 700 meters.
Lin Feng didn't even look in the direction where Xue Tu fell.
His breathing quickened, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. In order to kill Blood Butcher, he endured the full power of Devouring Sound for more than ten seconds, and his health was worn down by 30%.
He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. The golden light of 【Armor Returns to One】 was still there, but he didn't intend to waste any more time.
As Shi Yin watched as Xue Tu's facial bones were shattered by a single spear and he plummeted from the sky, true fear finally surfaced on his usually composed face.
Without even thinking, she slashed her fingertips across the strings, using the recoil of the sound wave to blur her figure and desperately flee towards the other grandmasters.
"Trying to leave?" Lin Feng's icy voice rang out behind her like a leech.
He jerked his gun-wielding arm, pointed the Wildfire Spear forward, and activated 【Beacon Fire Across the City】!
A blazing flame shot out from the spear tip, trailing a golden tail nearly ten meters long, tearing through the air at incredible speed, heading straight for Shiyin's back.
The scorching heat wave approached instantly. Knowing she couldn't dodge the shot, Shi Yin turned around abruptly, the Guiji Guqin standing in front of her, her ten fingers moving in unison—【Blood Pattern·Echo】!
A dark red silhouette appeared out of thin air where she had been standing, like a substitute made of blood mist, and crashed into the golden spear light.
"boom!"
The fiery spear strikes the Echoing Clone with pinpoint accuracy, instantly shattering it into a cloud of blood mist. Taking advantage of this brief moment, the main body of the Devourer of Sound drifts several meters away.
But before she could catch her breath, a golden figure suddenly appeared beside the echoing sound of the blow.
Lin Feng activated 【Beacon Fire Across the City】 a second time, instantly rushing to the location where the spear light would land.
Shi Yin gasped for breath, unable to pluck the strings any further, and could only hold the guqin tightly in front of her.
Lin Feng's spear had already come crashing down! The 【Windwalker Damage Increase】 effect was still active on the spear blade, making this strike faster and heavier than any of the previous ones.
"Bang!"
The spear blade slashed fiercely at the guqin, and Shiyin was sent flying backward by the overwhelming force, spitting out blood.
"Help me!!"
