Chương 194: Long Feng's doubts

The jianhai clan chief grimaced and regained his calm.

"Hmph! So what if you can stay afloat temporarily? How can you defeat me? In the end, I'm still strong than you""Really? Let's put that to test then" Long Feng grinned. His demon concept energy soared as more energy constantly gushed out of his demons core in his dantian.

"Third wave Demon annihilation!" The dense demon energy gathered together and condensed into a huge being about ten times larger than a grown man. The pitch black being was humanoid, with blood red eyes and six arms, each arm wielding a weapon; a sword, a saber, a hammer, a large pointed needle, a halberd and a scythe. The facial features was blurry, but one could guess the fearsome expression this being would have.

Before, Long Feng was too weak to fully use this technique, even causing a backlash on himself whenever he forcefully used it. But now, his cultivation was ample enough for him to use this technique and the figure of the six armed demon was even clearer than before. The six armed demon opened a bloody mouth full of fangs and roared, it's roar resounding throughout the jianhai clan's territory and further.

"What the hell is that?" Everyone below were terrified as they watched this huge demon roaring while waving it's six weapons around.

"Hmph! Paltry tricks!" The jianhai clan's clan chief snorted and punched out with his right fist, forming a huge fist manifestation. The six armed demon roared again and smashed the hammer against the fist manifestation, destroying the fist immediately.

"Impossible! You're a rank seven Yang realm cultivator and I'm a rank two spirit realm cultivator! The gap between us is supposed to be like heaven and Earth! How can you be so powerful?!" The jianhai clan chief exclaimed in shock.

"If your energy manifestation is all you are capable of, then you better get ready to lose!" Long Feng grinned. The jianhai clan chief didn't reply to him and instead took out two gloves from his void ring and put them on. The aura of the gloves suggested that they were spirit grade armaments.

"Kid, you've successfully pissed me off." After putting on the gloves, the jianhai clan's clan chief looked up and said. Without waiting for a response, he unleashed a barrage of punches at the six armed demon, the power of his fists causing the air around him to disperse. In an instant, hundreds of fist energies shot towards the six armed demon. With a resounding roar, the six arms of the demons came crashing down with the six weapons against the barrage of punches.

A massive explosion occurred, pushing both parties away with the six armed demon considerably fainter and the attack of the jianhai clan chief destroyed.

"Again!" Long Feng laughed and willed the six armed demon to rush towards the jianhai clan chief. At this moment, he could finally estimate his strength. It seemed like if not for the fact that his inner energy was purified in the demon sealing coffin back at the yin ghost forest, his combat power would have dropped by two and maybe even three levels. And even with the energy purification, his combat power didn't return to five levels.

His current inner energy was only comparable to a rank two spirit realm cultivator which was equivalent to having a combat power of four levels above his cultivation. Of course, this was the limits of his inner energy, not his techniques. If he went all out with the Firmament Sword art and the nine Firmament steps, even a rank three spirit realm cultivator would struggle to fight him.

"Long Feng can actually fight toe to toe with a rank two spirit realm cultivator! How insane is that?" Yan jian looked up in sky as Long Feng controlled the six armed demon to bombard the jianhai clan chief with a barrage of attacks using different weapons. In an instant, the jianhai clan chief was even showing signs of being at a disadvantage. But he was apparently unbothered by this.

"Kid, I truly admire you. Unfortunately you are too rash. I can see that whatever technique you are using to fly is already at it's limits and you are already beginning to fall back. Soon, you will lose your footing and fall back to the ground. Your fate is sealed!" The jianhai clan chief was right. At the beginning, Long Feng was flying at the same height as the clan chief, but as of right now, he was several meters lower than the clan chief and was still falling back.

He appeared to be struggling against the gravity pushing down on him. Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

"You know what old man? You're right. This is pointless" Long Feng suddenly said and stopped, dispersing the six armed demon and leaving everyone astounded.

"What's he doing?" Yan jian asked with a frown.

"Don't worry about him. Don't forget he still has another trump card left" Li Yue'er glanced at Long Feng in the sky and spoke. Yan jian's eyes widened in realization and he nodded.

"Kid, you've decided to surrender? Unfortunately you're too late. I'm not of the mind to spare your life right now" the jianhai clan chief stared at Long Feng in confusion as he stayed on guard against any tricks. After all, someone like Long Feng was unlikely to give up and wait for death no matter how grim the situation looked.

"Who said anything about giving up? I figured out that you were right. I cannot defeat you before my time runs out, but did you not think that I couldn't run away while I can still fly? You saw my movement technique. If I want to escape, you can't stop me!" Long Feng replied. The jianhai clan chief's face darkened after hearing Long Feng's words. He suddenly realized that it was true. With Long Feng's speed, he was entirely capable of escaping.

His mind instantly began to turn rapidly as his eyes shifted to Yan jian and Li Yue'er. If he couldn't catch up to Long Feng, he could capture his friends and use them to force him to stay right? Long Feng noticed this and smiled.

"Of course, I'm just reminding you. I have no intention of escaping. Since I can't prolong this fight, I should just end it all at once with a single attack!" It was easy to imagine the uproar his words sounded.

"Bastard! Dreaming of defeating our Lord clan chief with a single attack? How dare you bellitle our clan chief?" An elder of the jianhai clan shouted angrily.

"This kid's arrogance has no bounds. Lord clan chief, teach this arrogant child a lesson!"

"That's right. Lord clan chief, show him the power of our jianhai clan!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill this arrogant bastard!"

"Brother Long Feng really knows how to piss people off" Yan jian sighed and said.

"Kid, you are too arrogant. You think you can defeat me with a single attack? Even a rank three spirit realm cultivator might need about three attacks to defeat me" the jianhai clan chief smiled mockingly.

"Well, just watch" Long Feng replied calmly and lifted the origin spirit sword high. The sword began to buzz due to the sheer amount of energy he was pouring into it. His demon energy, his sword energy and his inner energy, everything was drowned into the origin spirit sword. At the same time, Long Feng closed his eyes and replayed the scene of the Firmament Sword Saint using his Firmament Sword art, when he used the first strike against that huge being.

Long Feng began to feel strange, as though the weapon he was holding wasn't just a weapon but a part of him, an extension of his arm. This feeling was fleeting and ethereal like the reflection of the moon on the surface of a river. He immersed himself in this feeling and followed the movements of the Firmament Sword Saint, slowly lifting his sword high and bringing it down. At that moment, everyone in the jianhai clan suddenly felt their skin prickling as a chill spread throughout their bodies.

Each and everyone of them including Yan jian and Li Yue'er felt like a giant sword was hanging above their heads, ready to swing down. This feeling was even more intense for the jianhai clan chief whose entire body was shaking instinctively. The sword concept energy around Long Feng soared to unbelievable heights, condensing into an unbelievably dense and large sword light five times the size of the six armed demon! The giant sword light was slowly heading towards the jianhai clan chief.

With a glance, the speed of the sword was unremarkable, easy to dodge. Only when one was subjected to the sword would one understand the terror of this technique. The Jianhai clan chief tried as hard as he could, but his legs seemed to be transfixed in the spot, unmoving. Fear gripped his heart for the first time as he watched the sword descend.

"I'll die if I don't do anything!" This thought invoked terror in his heart that gave him greater strength, enough for him to regain control of his body, enabling him to move sideways. But he was still not able to completely dodge the entire sword. A finger deep wound stretched from his left shoulder down to his waist, almost severing his left arm or splitting him into two.

The remaining sword light continued unabated and destroyed the entirety of the jianhai clan's buildings along, leaving a thousand feet long fissure on the floor. All those watching this swallowed in shock at the sheer destructive power of that sword. If it was directed at them, then their fate was sealed. How was it possible for a rank seven yang realm cultivator to have such terrifying power? How was this even a yang realm cultivator?

Even if they were suddenly told that Long Feng was actually a spirit realm cultivator, they wouldn't doubt that in the slightest. In fact, they would rather hear that as it signified that he wasn't as monstrous as they thought. Unfortunately, the truth was right before them. A rank seven yang realm cultivator had defeated their rank two spirit realm clan chief, almost killing him. Long Feng's combat power was definitely equal to a rank three spirit realm cultivator.

The one who was most shaken by this was old man jian who stood below with his severed arm. Watching Long Feng, a puny kid whom he could kill a few months ago at a whim suddenly defeat his Lord clan chief left him feeling disbelief like never before. He was simply unable to even think straight at this moment. The next shaken person was the jianhai clan chief himself.

Even after a while, the poor old man was still in a daze, his eyes unfocused and his body trembling ceaselessly as the scene of that earlier sword light filled his sight. When when the wound that ran across his chest was bleeding profusely, he didn't seem to feel anything. It seemed like the fact that he was defeated by a fifteen year old kid who was barely able to reach his chest in height, a child, left him shattered and devastated.

"Impossible! This can't be possible. How?" The poor old man kept repeating to himself in a daze. Long Feng stared at the jianhai clan chief with a slight frown before he returned to Yan jian and Li Yue'er's side.

"What happened?" Seeing his frown, Yan jian asked.

"Did I go too far?" Long Feng asked quietly.

"What?" Yan jian asked in confusion. Long Feng turned his sights to the dazed jianhai clan chief and the elders around.

"I mean, was it wrong of me to do this? We had no major grudge against the jianhai clan, yet I came and caused trouble. Besides…" pausing, he glanced at the jianhai clan chief who didn't seem like he would be able to recover from this shock anytime soon. Yan jian and Li Yue'er finally understood what he meant.

"Of course not. Brother Long Feng, no matter what you do in the future, do not ever blame yourself for it. If could cause you to lose yourself. Besides, what do you mean by not having any major grudge? The jianhai clan tried to kill you back then. You were only repaying them back. If it was someone else, even me, I might have killed everyone in the clan to satisfy my rage, yet you killed no one.

You must always remember that in this world, only the strongest rule, the law of the jungle perfectly applies in this world" Yan jian immediately spoke up to dispel Long Feng's doubts. Yan jian was originally someone who had witnessed a lot in his short life. Having grown up with his foster father in the blue sky province, he had witnessed a lot if gruesome sights, where his foster father often had to kill for them to survive. In this world, only the strongest could survive and decide their fates.

As such, there was nothing wrong with Long Feng's actions to him. By the side, Li Yue'er bit her lips slightly and added,"He's right. I haven't witnessed much, but watching my entire family clan get slaughtered taught me that one could not survive without being strong, and one cannot be strong without being ruthless. Strictly speaking, you are too gentle. The jianhai clan tried to kill you before. Now that you're strong enough to deal with them, you sparing their clan is already a great favor.

But in some cases, sparing your enemy's life isn't a good idea." It was natural for Long Feng to feel like he had gone too far, considering that he had lived most of his life in the safety of the Long clan. It was only a year ago when he began to cultivate that he started exploring the continent. Strictly speaking, he was really too soft hearted.
