Chapter 460: Battle with Qian Feng

Qian Feng was panting heavily; he had previously been drained of a large amount of his Lifespan by the Vermilion Bird Son using a strange method, so his body was very weak right now, and the hatred in his heart for the Vermilion Bird Son was already overwhelming.

"Fortunately, I didn't listen to him. If I had brought out this bronze figure while fighting someone, I would have been drained dry by him before even killing the enemy."

Qian Feng gritted his teeth, but now was clearly not the time to hate the Vermilion Bird Son; what was most important right now was how to deal with the murderous intent before him!

In reality, the Vermilion Bird Son had been plotting against Qian Feng for quite some time.

If not for the sudden emergence of the Immortal Remnant Race, then given more time, the Vermilion Bird Son might have truly succeeded in figuring out how to avoid the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation calamity of Lifespan exhaustion, thereby performing Possession on Qian Feng's Lifespan to continue his existence.

When Qian Feng was young, the Vermilion Bird Son had already been carrying out this plan.

He made Qian Feng devour one Concept after another, experiencing the insights of those individuals as they comprehended the Heavenly Dao; he did this not for Qian Feng's sake, but more for his own.

The methods he implemented on Qian Feng were actually a Spell that generations of Vermilion Bird Sons had been secretly researching.

This Spell was not yet fully successful and had less than a ten percent chance of success.

However, even if it truly succeeded, it could only temporarily alleviate the situation and gain a few dozen more years of Lifespan.

At the same time, to gain these few dozen years of Lifespan, he needed to pay a tremendous price.

That bronze figure was the key item.

This item was refined by the fourth generation Vermilion Bird Son, using iron from outside the heavens.

After countless years, combined with the constant refining by his successors, it finally possessed some Divine Ability to extract and condense Lifespan.

In reality, the reason this bronze figure had such Divine Ability was mainly due to some changes in the Cultivation Star Crystal, which had been comprehended by generations of Vermilion Bird Sons.

However, this item was not perfect and contained many fatal flaws.

For instance, right now, although the Vermilion Bird Son had transformed using this object and seemed full of vitality, in reality, he was at the end of his tether, and it was only temporary.

Wang Lin shook the Ten Billion Soul Banner in his hand, and countless souls immediately roared out from within, instantly filling the space between heaven and earth like black whirlwinds, emitting roars of ghosts and howls of wolves that pierced through heaven and earth.

"Fuse!" Killing intent flashed in Wang Lin's eyes.

At this word, the surrounding souls immediately fused.

In the blink of an eye, six main souls—though not yet at the Soul Transformation stage, they were several times stronger than ordinary Late Stage Nascent Soul Transformation Cultivators—suddenly appeared, among them the Qilin remnant soul.

"To fight the two of you, I don't need to fuse into the Soul Transformation stage!"

Wang Lin's gaze flashed. He slapped his Storage Pouch with his right hand, and the Battle Axe immediately appeared in his hand.

With a swing, his whole body soared into the air, and suddenly, he slashed down!

Qian Feng's expression changed drastically. He slapped his Storage Pouch, and the Vermilion Bird Awl was in his hand.

With a shake, a bolt of red lightning immediately roared out from it, turning into a long rainbow as it flew toward Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's expression was cold and stern. He swung the Battle Axe in his hand, and a fierce axe light immediately flashed out.

At the same time, he let out a loud shout and threw the Battle Axe forward. A heaven-shaking boom echoed through the air as the Battle Axe roared out.

The electric light emitted from the Vermilion Bird Awl immediately collapsed, and the Battle Axe roared downwards.

Qian Feng's eyes revealed a fierce glint. He let out a low growl, formed Hand Seals with both hands, and fiercely pointed forward.

The instant the Battle Axe approached, his entire body suddenly emitted a dazzling red light. The Vermilion Bird Mysterious Formation, activate!

A sound that pierced through the Nine Heavens suddenly echoed across the sky.

Qian Feng stumbled back several steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood. With a ripping sound, his upper garment immediately disintegrated and turned into dust.

On Qian Feng's chest, a strange pattern suddenly appeared.

The Battle Axe was struck by a great force and immediately flew back. Wang Lin leaped and caught the Battle Axe.

The six main souls released by Wang Lin's Ten Billion Soul Banner were roaring as they split into two groups.

Four of them pounced toward Liu Mei, while the remaining two charged toward Qian Feng from the left and right.

Liu Mei's expression changed slightly, and she cast a fearful glance at the Soul Banner.

Gritting her teeth, she spat out a white light. This white light flickered in the void and immediately transformed into a white silk ribbon. On this ribbon, there was a pattern embroidered with gold thread.

With a flick of the silk ribbon, it immediately wrapped around Liu Mei's entire body.

Suddenly, she broke through a gap in the four main souls, and with her whole body wrapped in the white silk ribbon, she turned into a white rainbow and sped off into the distance.

"Pursue and kill!" Wang Lin whispered.

The four main souls, including the Qilin remnant soul, immediately flashed and chased after her frantically.

Facing the attack of the two main souls, Qian Feng was forced to retreat step by step.

His expression was ugly. He slapped his Storage Pouch, and a red fan immediately appeared in his hand.

He spat a mouthful of blood onto the fan and swung it violently.

A hurricane immediately tore through the air, sweeping wildly in all directions.

This hurricane seemed to be specifically designed to restrain souls, causing the two main souls to slow down involuntarily.

Wang Lin snorted coldly and slapped his Storage Pouch. Four identical Scabbards immediately flashed into existence before him.

Cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes as he pointed forward. The four Scabbards immediately roared forward like meteors.

Four Sword Lights instantly radiated from the Scabbards, turning into more than three feet long, and an overwhelming Sword Intent diffused from within them.

"Shatter!" Cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes, and the four Scabbards roared out frantically, their Sword Intent overwhelming.

Qian Feng's expression changed drastically. He threw the fan in his hand forward and immediately retreated, intending to flee.

However, the moment the fan appeared beside the Scabbards, it was instantly shredded by them, and with a powerful impact, they continued their pursuit relentlessly.

Without the obstruction of the fan, the two main souls moved extremely fast, catching up to Qian Feng in the blink of an eye.

With one pounce, Qian Feng's body shook, and his Primordial Spirit trembled violently, nearly leaving his body.

Fortunately, in the moment of crisis, the pattern on his chest flashed, and the Vermilion Bird Mysterious Formation instantly activated, blocking the pounce of the two main souls.

Qian Feng's expression was ugly. He turned around abruptly and roared, "Ceng Niu, do not force me!"

During his roar, he opened his mouth and spat out a green light. This green light flashed and transformed into a piece of green wood.

The green wood exuded an eerie Aura. As it caught the wind, it immediately expanded, eventually turning into a giant piece of wood about ten zhang thick.

"Carve!" Qian Feng roared, his face pale.

The green wood shook, and wood shavings appeared on it, falling one after another.

In the blink of an eye, as if an invisible hand were carving it, a figure instantly appeared on the green wood. The appearance of this figure was exactly that of Wang Lin.

"Destroy!" Qian Feng roared again.

This time, his face was ashen, pale and bloodless, and his body was even swaying and trembling.

Having had a large amount of his Lifespan drained, he was clearly outmatched against Wang Lin at this moment.

The instant Qian Feng uttered the word "Destroy," Wang Lin's forward momentum suddenly halted.

His expression changed slightly as an invisible force emanated from the green wood.

Immediately after, he seemed to see a green blade shadow flash out from within it, falling straight toward his head.

A shadow of death instantly enveloped Wang Lin's entire body.

After all, Qian Feng was at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul Transformation, and as a Disciple of the Vermilion Bird Son, how could he lack Magic Treasures? He likely had no fewer than Wang Lin!

Wang Lin had never heard of this green wood. The eerie nature of this item made it impossible to guard against.

At this moment, he wanted to retreat, but he discovered that his surroundings were restrained by a strange force, making it impossible to move even a little bit.

Seeing that the green light was already upon him, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Qian Feng's mouth.

Wang Lin's gaze was calm. With a thought, a main soul flashed and appeared in front of Wang Lin, then with a bang, it self-destructed.

The self-destruction of the main soul set off an overwhelming Aura that spread wildly.

The restraints around Wang Lin instantly collapsed, and he immediately flashed out, dodging the green light.

Qian Feng's eyes revealed a look of unwillingness, and without a word, he turned around and fled.

How could Wang Lin let him run? He grabbed the air with his right hand, and the Ten Billion Soul Banner was immediately in his hand.

With a shake, a large number of souls roared out again.

"Seal!" Wang Lin gave a loud shout, and all the souls immediately scattered.

Suddenly, within a radius of ten li, these souls formed a massive encirclement, trapping Qian Feng inside.

At the same time, Wang Lin swept the Battle Axe in his hand and slashed down toward the giant green wood.

The giant wood shook and was suddenly split in two. Qian Feng tasted sweetness in his mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Die!" During Wang Lin's low roar, the giant axe in his hand was immediately thrown out.

At the same time, the Sword Lights inside the four Scabbards shot out amidst earth-shattering roars.

Four wild Sword Intents transformed into Sword Qi, rushing toward Qian Feng in the center from the southeast, west, and north, with an Aura capable of destroying heaven and earth!

That was not all. Wang Lin shook the Ten Billion Soul Banner in his hand.

The banner immediately shook and dissipated into specks of crystal light, merging into the surrounding encirclement of souls.

Suddenly, a restraining force emanated from the surrounding souls.

Now, within the range of these souls, a powerful pressure descended from the sky. Under this pressure, even teleportation would be slightly affected.

Fear appeared in Qian Feng's eyes, but immediately, he roared, "Ceng Niu, you and I have no great feud, why must you force me to my death!!"

Wang Lin's gaze was like lightning as he stared at Qian Feng and said word by word, "I am killing you because I promised Hong Die!"

Qian Feng laughed wildly and roared, "Ceng Niu, if you didn't have this Ten Billion Soul Banner, killing you would be as easy as turning over my hand. This is what you forced me to do. Today, even if I die, I will destroy your Ten Billion Soul Banner!"

Cold light appeared in Wang Lin's eyes, and he whispered, "Die!"

From the southeast, west, and north, four Sword Qi roared through the air, their target being Qian Feng.

These four Sword Qi carried a powerful Aura, as if they wanted to shatter the Void Realm.

Qian Feng's expression was ferocious. He took a deep breath and exerted the Vermilion Bird Mysterious Formation to its full extent.

A red halo immediately appeared densely around his body.

At the same time, he slapped his Storage Pouch and carefully took out an item.

This was an Iron Sword!

An Iron Sword full of rust, looking like an object from the mortal world!

The rust spots on it exuded a thick smell of blood. Clearly, these rust spots were formed because it had been stained with blood and fused into it!

"This item was secretly left behind by the Old Ancestor of my Qian family, the previous generation Vermilion Bird Son. Even the current Vermilion Bird Son has never known of it. Ceng Niu, I have the Vermilion Bird Mysterious Formation; if you cannot break this formation, you cannot kill me. Now, I have this sword, and I can kill you!"
