Chapter 2001 - 1991: Comprehending Mysterious Skill and Understanding Divine Rune
"I know you’re formidable. If I die here today, won’t you be afraid the Bright Pope will come for you? I am a Pharaoh of the Bright Church. You must understand the gravity of the situation!"
Di Shitian had no choice but to invoke the Bright Pope. Perhaps only the Pope could truly keep him in check.
He took a step forward, seeing Lin Zifeng frown and hesitate.
Then he fanned the flames again, "The Pope saved your Holy Hall from a crisis. Such a monumental gift, and not only do you not thank him, but you also want to execute me. The Pope is still in Huaxia, aren’t you afraid he’ll come for you?"
"God damn it, this is really tough to handle. This time, we indeed owe the Pope a favor. The Pope hasn’t left Huaxia yet. If we kill them, will it attract the Pope’s attention?" The handsome guy was somewhat afraid of the Pope now. That beast’s combat power is infinite, even a Saint’s existence.
Back in the Greece Wilderness, just one encounter knocked him out cold. If he jumped back out to find them, everyone in the Holy Hall would be doomed.
"Younger Lin, shouldn’t we consider this matter?" Jia Zhenjing’s lips twitched, his brow furrowed slightly, seemingly contemplating the repercussions.
After all, the Pope did favor the Holy Hall, single-handedly conquering the entire Oriental King. Now Lin Zifeng intends to assassinate the Pharaoh of the Bright Church—if word of this gets out, given the Pope’s disposition, how could he let it go easily?
However—Lin Zifeng was indifferent. His expression shifted slightly, a smile stretched across his face as he squinted his eyes.
He took out the Heavenly Painting Halberd from the Magic Bracelet’s storage space, which gradually expanded in his palm, eventually restoring its original form. This seemed casual, but to the two Pharaohs, it was so heart-stopping!
"What do you want to do!"
Ulabuk Pharaoh glared with fear darkening his heart. Immediately, he backed up two steps, pulling Di Shitian Pharaoh along, his brow twitching, ready to flee at any chance.
"Since the Pope has shown kindness to me, I am not a heartless person." Lin Zifeng said with a smile, his voice soothing.
But could Di Shitian believe him based on a few superficial words?
"Speak. What’s your demand."
Ulabuk’s eyes glinted with unusual light.
"No demands really, but... I do need the Elemental Power Seeds you both possess!"
"Run!"
Suddenly, Ulabuk urgently dragged Di Shitian to flee swiftly backward, as fast as lightning.
"Swoosh!"
Lin Zifeng moved. As soon as the words were out, he attacked fiercely with the force of a thunderclap.
Ulabuk knew, Lin Zifeng wouldn’t let them off so easily. If they both lived, with the opponent’s nature, he certainly wouldn’t rest easy.
"Dead Dog, these fresh Elemental Power Seeds, whoever gets them can have them." Jia Zhenjing turned his head, glancing at the handsome guy before swiftly pursuing the two Pharaohs.
"Boom boom boom..."
Seven or eight Bright Knights instantly exploded into blood mist under the Heavenly Painting Halberd. Remains scattered everywhere.
"No!!!"
Poof!
In the dark and dense forest, Ulabuk’s final scream echoed through the woods before he died!
And within minutes, Lin Zifeng caught up with that Di Shitian Pharaoh. Di Shitian desperately tried to flee, but alas, Lin Zifeng’s murderous intent was undiminished. Once he started killing, how could he easily let him escape?
Minutes later, a mournful scream sounded, dead under Lin Zifeng’s Heavenly Painting Halberd as well.
This way, he obtained several Elemental Power Seeds at once, which was undoubtedly a huge gain for Lin Zifeng.
Di Shitian and Ulabuk Pharaoh’s cultivation were both above the Eighth Layer Heaven of Sub-Saint! These Elemental Power Seeds are incredibly rare for Lin Zifeng.
Not only did he have Elemental Power Seeds, but also Shen Wuheng’s Immortal Suppressing Tripod, Great Wilderness Saint Master’s Heavenly Pulling Axe, Qingchi Saintess’s Qingchi Divine Sword, Nine Heavens Saint Master’s Heavenly Battle Bow... If these Holy Artifacts were refined into the Heavenly Painting Halberd, it could potentially become as powerful a Divine Artifact as the Magic Bracelet. By then, with two Divine Artifacts in action, Lin Zifeng’s combat power would be unstoppable!
"Kid, what should we do next?" Jia Zhenjing and the handsome guy came forward. Lin Zifeng directly threw them the Elemental Power Seeds of the two Pharaohs.
"Wait for the Pope to come to the Divine Sky Sect; with the Bright Pope’s disposition, he will surely seek revenge." Lin Zifeng coldly laughed twice. The laugh sinister. Don’t blame him for being sinister. Now he had become a hunted demon head; he wasn’t setting traps for others but was merely harried for his own survival.
"Damn it. Don’t talk to me about the Pope, that freak scares the hell out of me. Too terrifying. We just killed the two Bright Church Pharaohs, who knows when that guy will come for us. Kid, you better hurry up and improve your cultivation. Once it’s up, even if the Pope comes, we aren’t afraid." The handsome guy said.
"This I naturally know." Lin Zifeng nodded, looking at the corpses on the ground, blood flowing. His mind complex. He didn’t know if what he did was right. Anyway, it’s done, nothing to regret.
...
Soon after they left, news of the two Bright Church Pharaohs being ambushed halfway quickly spread. However, the most tragic was still the Divine Sky Sect. It had previously suffered harm from Lin Zifeng and others, losing the Sect Leader, and many Peak Masters dying.
And now? The Sect Master of the Divine Sky Sect was also killed.
Things hadn’t settled, and now the Bright Church Pharaohs died near the borders of Huzhou; everyone pointed the finger at the Divine Sky Sect!
The Divine Sky Sect was already unsettled, and under such accusations, the Sect was anxious to an extreme. Fearful that Bright Church would attack again, chaos descended upon the Divine Sky Sect temporarily.
With Shen Wuheng dead, someone might have vied for the sect master’s position before, but now no one dares. Whoever becomes sect master, the Bright Church will surely trouble them.
Within days, the Bright Church heard of the incident.
Many Pharaohs were enraged, awaiting the Pope’s return to obliterate Divine Sky Sect to repay the Bright Church’s humiliation.
Alas, the Bright Pope vanished after the battle in Huaxia, nowhere to be seen.
On the Holy Hall’s side, everyone moved to Zhonghai City. Under the Ability Group’s control, they hid there. With Meng Chanji’s cover, all was peaceful.
On the third day’s dusk... Lin Zifeng quietly operated the Mysterious Skill in the secret room alone! This Mysterious Skill was realized from Nangong Bing’s Demon Pattern. Nangong Bing had comprehended it herself and taught Lin Zifeng.
Though the nature of this Mysterious Skill was unknown, possibly a set of killing Demon Techniques, what fears could Lin Zifeng have in such an environment? Without absolute strength, it’s just survival of the fittest.
Buzz buzz buzz... buzz buzz buzz... buzz buzz buzz...
The Magic Bracelet hovered above his head, to guard against the Demon Technique’s potential devouring ability, using the Magic Bracelet for suppression, as it had a suppressive function. If the Demon Technique consumed his mind, the Magic Bracelet could entirely restrain it.
Nangong Bing possessed the Star Ring and retained clarity even after falling into demonic practices; if it were an ordinary person, practicing this Demon Technique and comprehending Demon Patterns, demonic tendencies were inevitable...
