Chapter 579: Blood Aura Protection
At an altitude of 700 meters, Lin Feng, along with ten Nightmare Generals including Lu Dingchuan and Liu Zhenshan, faced off against the twelve Grandmasters of the Blood Abyss Sect.
The two sides approached rapidly below the clouds. When the twelve grandmasters of the Blood Abyss Sect saw the nine golden halos around Lin Feng, their formation visibly faltered for a moment.
The leaders, Blood Butcher and Sound Eater, exchanged a glance.
"Full set of gold equipment." Blood Butcher grinned, a bloodthirsty excitement surging in his eyes. "Sound Eater, this prey, let's work together."
"Don't be careless. People from the Ninth Ring are no ordinary characters." Shi Yin's voice was soft and slow, like a string being plucked by the wind.
Her black hair reached her waist, and her dark red, wide-sleeved robe billowed in the wind. Her fingertips were already on the strings of the zither. "You come close, and I'll provide support."
The two then simultaneously broke out of the formation, flanking Lin Feng from the left and right.
Blood Butcher's golden heavy arm armor emitted a low metallic vibration as he flew at high speed, while the surface of the ancient zither in Devouring Sound's arms shimmered with a dark red glow.
With a single finger plucking the string, a very light melody rippled from the string, transforming into a pale red sound wave that cut directly towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng merely tilted his head slightly, the sound waves brushing past his forehead and exploding into a blood-red pattern in the clouds behind him.
"Sound attack?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, stepped on his 【Sky Chasing Boots】, and instead of retreating, he advanced, rushing straight towards the Sound Devourer.
He was incredibly fast, almost turning into a golden afterimage.
Shi Yin's expression tightened. He pressed down on the second string with his left hand and quickly swept out with his right hand—【Blood Pattern·Broken Sound】, three dark red sound blades flew out from the string, heading straight for Lin Feng's face.
Lin Feng flipped his right wrist, and the Wildfire Spear was held horizontally in front of him. The sonic blade shattered like broken glass, and the aftershocks flew in all directions.
He paused for a moment due to the recoil from the impact, and the Blazing Spear shone brightly—【Blazing Spear Light】.
A golden spear beam shot out from the Wildfire Spear, leaving a long trail of flame, and struck directly at the Devouring Sound.
Blood Butcher roared and charged in, crossing his arms to protect Devouring Sound. The golden spear light slammed into Devouring Sound's 【Mountain Shattering Armor】, exploding into a shower of golden sparks.
His pupils contracted slightly; the force of the shot was greater than he had anticipated.
“This person’s attributes are superior to ours.” Blood Butcher’s tone became serious for the first time. He looked up at Lin Feng and said gruffly to Shi Yin, “Don’t fight him head-on. Use your zither to block his movement. I’ll find an opportunity to break through his middle lane.”
Lin Feng landed back in his original spot, with nine golden halos slowly rotating behind him.
His breathing was steady, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes. In a one-on-two situation, he seemed to be just warming up.
He tapped his toes, and the runes on the 【Shadow Chasing Wind Leggings】 lit up—【Shadow Breath】 activated, increasing evasion rate by an additional 30%.
He beckoned to Blood Butcher: "Come here."
"Arrogant!" Blood Butcher laughed in fury, his arms trembling as he concentrated his blood-fiend energy into his right fist, which glowed with a dark red light. 【Shattering Mountain - City-Breaking Strike】 slammed straight into Lin Feng's face.
Lin Feng shifted half a foot to the right, and the punch grazed his shoulder armor. The wind from the punch was like a knife, but it didn't even cut off a single hair on his head.
Immediately afterwards, Blood Butcher swept his right leg horizontally, 【Shattering Mountain - Sweeping Mountain】, a fan-shaped blood-fiend shockwave slashed towards Lin Feng's legs.
Lin Feng lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body rising several feet higher. The shockwave swept past his feet, and he used the momentum to press down, sweeping out the Wildfire Spear, the blade slashing straight at Xue Tu's waist and ribs.
Blood Butcher hastily parried with his arm guards, the spear blade leaving a trail of blinding sparks as it scraped against the guards.
【Wildfire Eclipse】 was activated simultaneously, and a burn mark appeared on Blood Butcher's dark red arm armor, instantly reducing his attack power by 30%.
Blood Butcher's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to retaliate, Lin Feng drew his spear again. The spear tip was as fast as lightning, piercing through Blood Butcher's right shoulder and bringing out a cloud of blood mist.
Blood Butcher roared in pain and threw a backhand punch at Lin Feng, but Lin Feng used the force to retreat, and the golden afterimage disappeared like a ghost in the wind of his punch.
"Damn it, he was too fast." Blood Butcher clutched the wound on his right shoulder, black blood streaming between his fingers.
Before he could catch his breath, Lin Feng moved again. With a flick of his left hand, a second 【Blazing Spear Light】 shot out.
The spear's edge shot straight after Blood Butcher like a meteor. He had no time to dodge and could only block it with both fists. The spear's edge collided with his arm armor, blasting him backward several meters.
At that moment, Shi Yin's zither music suddenly rose in pitch. She pressed down on all the strings with both hands and unleashed 【Blood Pattern Echo】, releasing a low-frequency shockwave that surged toward Lin Feng, intending to drag him into a state of "chaos".
But when the tide reached Lin Feng, it vanished without a trace, leaving no ripples.
Lin Feng seemed not to hear at all, and didn't even pause in his steps.
Shi Yin's expression finally changed drastically. The composure and restraint deep in her pupils shattered instantly, and she exclaimed, "...It has no effect on you at all?"
Lin Feng did not respond; his figure shot out like an arrow, heading straight for Shi Yin.
He was too fast. Shi Yin only had time to move the guqin horizontally forward before Lin Feng's spear tip touched the body of her guqin. It was like a flood breaking through a dam, and the spear sent the guqin and her whole body flying.
Seeing this, Blood Butcher's body blazed with crimson light as he activated 【Blood Aura Protection】, shouting at Devouring Sound, "Activate the protection! Don't fight him head-on!"
As Shiyin flew backward, she bit her lip, and a layer of blood rose around her.
Both of them activated Blood Aura Protection at the same time, integrating their full-body defense and increasing all damage by 20% for 10 minutes.
Lin Feng didn't charge in headfirst. His whole body glowed with golden light as he activated the Golden Set skill—【Armor Returns to One】.
“I’ll attack his left flank, you block his right flank.” Shi Yin forced down her trembling fingertips and pressed the strings again.
The Guiji Guqin vibrated continuously, and countless sonic blades pressed down on Lin Feng. Lin Feng held his spear horizontally, and the spear blade spun, deflecting the sonic blades one by one.
Blood Butcher attacked from the other side, 【Shattering Mountain - Piercing Mountain】, his whole body wrapped in blood light, crashing into Lin Feng like a meteorite.
Lin Feng dodged to the side, then swung his gun and struck the man in the back, sending him flying.
Blood Butcher spat out a mouthful of blood, his voice filled with deep dread: "Celestial Realm...it's definitely the Celestial Realm!"
With a flick of his wrists, Shi Yin spun the guqin horizontally, his ten fingers dancing rapidly across the strings as he unleashed the full power of 【Blood Pattern·Rending Law】.
A dozen blood-red sonic blades shot out from different directions, their arcs treacherous, blocking all of Lin Feng's evasive angles.
Lin Feng remained calm as the Wildfire Spear traced a golden arc of light. As the spear's brilliance flashed, the sonic blades collided with it and shattered.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xue Tu reached behind Lin Feng and thrust his knee upwards, 【Shattering Mountain - Collapsing Knee】 directly into his lower back.
As if Lin Feng had eyes in the back of his head, he shifted three meters to the side, and his knee struck empty air.
Blood Butcher missed his target and lost his balance; Lin Feng's spear tip struck the back of his neck.
Blood Butcher was struck on the back of the neck by Lin Feng's spear, and he fell several meters from mid-air, his head buzzing.
Just as he was about to adjust his stance, Lin Feng had already caught up closely, giving him no chance to create distance.
Blood Butcher retaliated with a punch aimed at Lin Feng's face, the air itself distorting where the punch °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° passed.
Lin Feng dodged to the side, then thrust his right knee upwards. Xue Tu quickly blocked with his arm, but his knee struck the arm armor, sending him flying upwards once more.
"Damn it!" Blood Butcher was both shocked and furious. He tried to use the momentum to retreat, but Lin Feng's spear tip was already right in front of him.
He tilted his head to dodge, the gun blade grazing his earlobe and tearing off a piece of flesh.
"Sound Devourer!" Blood Butcher cried out in pain, "What the hell are you waiting for?!"
