Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Joining Forces to Slay the Enemy
The Wave-Riding Light Steps were imdiately deployed, and Lin Feng mysteriously dodged the black-clad man’s knife. Of course, this was the result others saw, but in reality, Chu Linfeng had long planned his evasive maneuvers.
The reason for such pretenses was to disguise himself, making others think his avoidance was laborious and his strength not as formidable as rumored.
He found the feeling of feigning weakness to catch people off guard imnsely satisfying, giving him the chance to land a vicious blow unexpectedly.
"Looks like you’re not that strong after all! Just one move, and you’re already this wretched. Brothers, I can take care of this kid all by myself, just watch the show!" the black-clad man laughed.
anwhile, Chu Linfeng was secretly laughing to himself, "I’m just making you overconfident. Let’s see how you die in a mont!"
Clutching the sword handle tightly, he stepped forward swiftly, his body moving like a phantom, arriving in front of the black-clad man in the blink of an eye with lightning speed.
Simultaneously, the Cyan Frost Sword in his hand drew a graceful arc, plunging like a bolt of lightning toward the man’s throat.
Chu Linfeng was now extrely proficient with the first seven moves of the Wind Chasing Sword Technique, executing this sword strike at incredible speed, leaving the black-clad man no ti to react, only able to see a fierce Sword Qi rushing towards him.
He then felt a slight numbness in his throat, making breathing exceptionally difficult, as if sothing had obstructed his throat, preventing him from inhaling.
Soon, bright red blood began flowing from his neck, and the black-clad man fell backward in silence, unable to utter a single sound.
In his final monts, he couldn’t understand how he had died.
Perhaps he never realized that Chu Linfeng’s lightning-fast sword had pierced his throat.
Because Chu Linfeng’s Swordsmanship was as swift as the wind, leaving no traces behind, he didn’t even allow ti for a reaction.
Moreover, when Chu Linfeng’s Cyan Frost Divine Sword instantly stabbed into his throat, he didn’t feel much pain.
It wasn’t until Chu Linfeng withdrew the Cyan Frost Sword from his throat that he realized he had underestimated this man, and indeed his strength was as formidable as the rumors said.
There is no antidote for regret in this world; he fell with reluctance, his eyes wide open, dying with a grievance.
At this ti, the other four black-clad n also saw Chu Linfeng’s previous actions were too quick, leaving them no ti to do anything but watch helplessly as their companion fell before them.
The feeling of killing with one sword strike was exhilarating for Chu Linfeng, and he didn’t even furrow his brows as he glanced at the black-clad man on the ground. Such people didn’t deserve to live.
"It seems we have underestimated this kid; he’s been feigning all along. Brothers, let’s attack together and finish this quickly!" the leader of the black-clad n said.
As he spoke, the attacks of the three others were already before Chu Linfeng, but his expression remained calm, undisturbed.
Then, with a flick of the Cyan Frost Sword in his hand, he deployed Fleeting Shadows, his ghostly form shifting two ters sideways, leaving behind an afterimage to dodge their attacks.
At the sa ti, he quickly launched a surprise attack with Illusionary Concealnt Finger at the closest black-clad man.
The indomitable Finger Force of the Illusionary Concealnt Finger encountered no resistance, landing effortlessly on the black-clad man’s body.
"Ah!" A scream echoed; several deep, bone-revealing holes appeared in the man’s chest, instantly staining his clothes with blood.
Since achieving the First Layer of the Star Body, Chu Linfeng felt his strength had increased, especially the attack power of the Phantom Finger, which had at least doubled.
At this mont, the black-clad man also fell reluctantly, as one of the Finger Forces had struck his heart directly, ensuring his death.
This was the first ti Chu Linfeng had killed with Phantom Finger, and it took only one move. Judging by the strength his opponent had used in the attack on him, he could surmise that the opponent was also at the Seventh Layer of Black Tortoise Realm.
The shock within his heart was greater than anyone else’s, although he felt his strength had increased, he hadn’t expected it to reach such a terrifying level.
The sudden change left the other three stunned and fearful, as even the one with the lowest strength among them was in the Seventh Layer of Black Tortoise Realm, but the opponent had killed two of them with a single move, showing power that was too terrifying.
Though mainly through sneak attacks, it was difficult to perform a sneak attack without sufficient strength.
The leader of the black-clad n looked at Chu Linfeng with eyes like lightning, his hand holding his sword trembling slightly, "I didn’t expect you to really have the strength to kill soone at the Ninth Layer of Black Tortoise Realm; I didn’t expect the rumors to be true."
"Even knowing now isn’t too late! Weren’t you saying today next year would be my death anniversary? Co on, let’s see whose death anniversary it really is!"
From the previous conversation with the black-clad man, Chu Linfeng vaguely sensed sothing was amiss, that there had been an incident at ho, so he had to quickly kill these three n and rush back.
"Ruoxi, co out, sothing might have happened at ho, we must fight quickly and get back as soon as possible." Chu Linfeng knew the situation was urgent and could only ask Lin Ruoxi for help.
After two surprise attacks resulting in two kills, both due to the others’ carelessness, another sneak attack was clearly out of question, and fighting one against three would still be challenging.
Upon hearing Chu Linfeng’s voice, Lin Ruoxi ca out from behind a rock at once, "Lin Feng, I’ll take care of one, you handle the other two, okay?"
"No problem! Be careful yourself!"
Seeing Lin Ruoxi co out, the black-clad man shouted angrily, "I planned to finish off this kid before coming to indulge with you, but I didn’t expect you to be in such a rush.
Today I’ll let you know what a man tastes like!"
"Scoundrel! et your doom!" Lin Ruoxi was enraged by the black-clad man’s words, and she imdiately attacked with the Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers martial skill.
An array of Petal Sword Qi all flew towards the black-clad man; Lin Ruoxi was at the Eighth Layer of Black Tortoise Realm, and the power of an enraged strike from her was imaginable.
The black-clad man, though skilled, faced Lin Ruoxi’s preemptively launched full-strength attack with a rushed defense.
The situation was clear; under Lin Ruoxi’s move, he was directly and heavily wounded, his body covered with dozens of wounds continuously bleeding.
Chu Linfeng was mildly surprised as well; he hadn’t expected such great power from an Earth Tier Martial Skill, deepening his understanding of Lin Ruoxi’s strength.
"Ruoxi, quickly kill him, don’t hesitate!" After speaking, he twirled the Cyan Frost Sword in his hand, forming several sword flowers aid at one of the n in attack.
Chu Linfeng’s uncanny speed was what the black-clad n feared most, and both were being extra cautious when the leader suddenly shouted, "Taste my Blazing Downwind Slash!"
Lin Ruoxi had never killed before and was slightly hesitant, her hand slightly trembling as she held the sword, yet she still thrust out with force, not wanting to disappoint Chu Linfeng.
The black-clad man’s martial skill was sothing Chu Linfeng was also sowhat wary of, as flas unexpectedly surged from his long sword, even more powerful than Shangguan Wuwo’s Blast Fla Seven Kills on the arena back then.
Chu Linfeng distinctly felt a massive wave of heat rushing towards him, with invisible Star Sword Qi within.
Fleeting Shadows was deployed instantly, an afterimage swiftly moving aside, while his hand continued to use Phantom Finger. Although it couldn’t heavily wound the enemy, it could at least prevent him from launching another attack.
anwhile, the other black-clad man also launched a martial skill, targeting Chu Linfeng who had just employed Fleeting Shadows, plunging him into danger...
