A flash of light pattern appeared, and the Soul Spear instantly sank into the grey-robed old man’s mind.
“Ah!”
After the Soul Spear entered his mind, the grey-robed old man let out a shrill and miserable scream.
The scream was extremely piercing, like the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves, filled with boundless terror. But just as it began, the sound abruptly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, light flickered. The Soul Spear turned into a streak of black light and sank into Li Feng’s mind. Under his mental control, it hovered above his sea of consciousness. At this moment, the grey-robed old man’s aura had completely vanished. His body fell backwards with a thud onto the ground.
With the grey-robed old man’s death, the violent surge of true qi fluctuations on the steps in front of the Great Hero Hall also gradually dissipated.
“Finally succeeded.” Looking at the grey-robed old man whose breath had ceased, Li Feng finally let out a sigh of relief.
This was the first time he had used the Soul Spear. Although Hong’er had explained its power when teaching him about the Soul Spear, Li Feng had never actually used it before. He did not know whether the Soul Spear’s effect was truly as powerful as Hong’er had described.
However, facing this innate fourth layer grey-robed old man this time, he had treated it as a last desperate attempt. Because neither Nangong Wu nor Blood Shadow Lu Shuang was likely to be a match for this innate fourth layer grey-robed old man. The only option to deal with this grey-robed old man was his Soul Spear.
If the Soul Spear had failed to deal with the grey-robed old man, they would have been doomed today. Fortunately, the Soul Spear succeeded and killed him in one strike.
Li Feng knew that the reason the Soul Spear could kill this grey-robed old man was because the old man’s divine sense was pitifully weak. If the grey-robed old man had possessed innate realm divine sense or any defensive divine sense skills, even with the Soul Spear, killing him would not have been easy.
Having witnessed the power of the Soul Spear, Li Feng felt extremely excited in his heart.
In this current era, cultivation methods for divine sense had almost completely disappeared, let alone divine sense attack skills. With this Soul Spear, he now had an additional life-saving trump card. Even though his divine sense could only use the Soul Spear three times, that was already enough for him.
Moreover, Li Feng believed that as his divine sense cultivation grew stronger in the future, the power of his Soul Spear would increase accordingly. Later on, even against the strongest enemies, he would be able to resist for a while. Unless the opponent possessed a treasure that could block divine sense.
After all, no single thing could possibly be invincible. However, treasures that could block divine sense were probably very rare. Even if they existed, not everyone would necessarily use them.
Seeing the grey-robed old man collapse with a crash, all the rogue cultivators at Golden Buddha Temple were stunned.
“What is going on?” Countless people stared wide-eyed, fixedly watching Li Feng and the grey-robed old man on the steps in front of the Great Hero Hall, muttering to themselves.
Clearly, the grey-robed old man had just launched a killing strike. How did he end up falling?
Looking at the grey-robed old man’s appearance, it seemed he had truly died!
“Dead?” The moment the grey-robed old man fell, Nangong Wu had already appeared beside Li Feng. Watching the old man collapse, Nangong Wu’s eyes narrowed. He stared at the grey-robed old man with a face full of confusion.
He had clearly felt the killing intent from the grey-robed old man earlier. That kind of attack, even he might not have been able to withstand, let alone Li Feng.
But now, carefully sensing it, he realised that the grey-robed old man had indeed died.
What exactly happened?
After thinking for a moment, Nangong Wu recalled the divine sense fluctuations emanating from Li Feng when he had approached earlier. Could this be related to Li Feng’s divine sense? Could divine sense actually kill people?
Thinking of this, Nangong Wu felt a chill in his heart.
Yes, that must be it. Unless Li Feng’s divine sense could kill, there was probably no other explanation. After all, Li Feng’s cultivation level was currently far from sufficient to kill this grey-robed old man.
But was Li Feng’s divine sense attack really this powerful?
This grey-robed old man was at innate fourth layer, yet Li Feng could instantly kill him. Did that not mean Li Feng could instantly kill him as well?
It seemed he had truly underestimated Li Feng.
Previously, he had thought that Li Feng came here to sell spots in the Boxing King Tournament because he wanted to rely on his innate third layer strength. But now it seemed that was not the case at all. Li Feng probably did not need him to complete his own plans. After all, if Li Feng could instantly kill an innate fourth layer expert, then others would be even easier.
However, the stronger Li Feng was, the greater the benefit to the Nangong family. After all, the Nangong family was now Li Feng’s vassal family. They shared honour and disgrace together.
So now, Nangong Wu increasingly felt that his original decision had been correct.
“Dead?” Blood Shadow Lu Shuang was stunned, but he was not particularly surprised. In their minds, Li Feng was their master, and miracles often happened around him.
On the large tree, the middle-aged man looked in disbelief at the grey-robed old man on the steps in front of the Great Hero Hall, who was deader than dead. A flash of incredulity passed through his eyes. “How is this possible? An innate fourth layer expert was instantly killed just like that? Lu’er, is this real?”
“It’s real?” Lu’er had a face full of shock, as if she could not believe what she had just seen.
“Lu’er, how exactly did this Young Master Feng make his move just now? Did you see it clearly?” the middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.
“I only saw a long spear shoot out from between his eyebrows, and then the grey-robed old man died. But what was that spear? Why was it between his eyebrows? This doesn’t make sense.” Lu’er said gravely.
“Indeed, what kind of martial skill is this? That grey-robed old man was an innate fourth layer expert, yet he died just like that. Could Young Master Feng be even stronger than this grey-robed old man?” the middle-aged man said in disbelief.
“That can’t be possible. Young Master Feng is so young.” Lu’er shook her head in disbelief. A young man in his twenties possessing strength surpassing innate fourth layer. How could people like them even survive in comparison?
“If not, then how do you explain him killing an innate fourth layer grey-robed old man?” the middle-aged man asked.
“This is not something we can guess. But this is good news for us, because we can now get a spot in the Boxing King Tournament.” Lu’er said.
“Correct, and we have an even more important matter.” the middle-aged man said.
“More important? What is it?” Lu’er asked.
“Hug the thigh.” the middle-aged man said.
“Hug the thigh? What does that even mean?” Lu’er was momentarily confused by the middle-aged man’s words.
“Young Master Feng is this powerful. Do you think someone like him is a simple person? So young and already able to instantly kill an innate fourth layer ancient martial artist. What will happen in the future? So I want to befriend him.” the middle-aged man said.
“Why did you suddenly have this idea?” Lu’er was stunned.
“Being a rogue cultivator is too hard.” the middle-aged man said gravely.
Lu’er was stunned and fell silent.
In the corner, as the grey-robed old man collapsed with a crash, the scene fell into complete silence. Chen Miaoling, who had originally closed her eyes because she did not dare watch Li Feng being killed by the grey-robed old man, opened her eyes and asked, “Did that Young Master Feng die?”
“No, the grey-robed old man died.” Hua Jieyu shook her head, her eyes filled with extreme shock.
The grey-robed old man was dead. Who killed him?
Nangong Wu? Lu Shuang? Blood Shadow?
That was simply impossible, because they had not even had time to rush forward to save Li Feng. The only one who could have acted was Li Feng himself.
Li Feng killed an innate fourth layer grey-robed old man. How was that possible? Had Li Feng’s strength already reached the level of killing an innate fourth layer expert?
Hua Jieyu could not believe it, but the facts were right in front of her eyes, and she had seen it with her own eyes. She had no choice but to believe.
At this moment, Hua Jieyu finally somewhat understood why Li Feng had not taken her seriously the moment he saw her. It turned out he possessed such formidable strength.
“What?” Chen Miaoling was shocked upon hearing this. She opened her eyes and looked towards the Great Hero Hall. Sure enough, the grey-robed old man had fallen to the ground like a corpse.
“How is this possible? Who killed him?” Chen Miaoling asked in horror. What kind of strength would someone need to silently kill an innate fourth layer ancient martial artist in such a short time? Innate fifth layer? Innate sixth layer? Or innate seventh layer?
“It was that Young Master Feng.” Hua Jieyu replied.
“What? It was him? How is that possible?” Chen Miaoling was shaken. She looked at Hua Jieyu in disbelief. “Hua Jieyu, you are not joking, are you?”
“Do you think I would joke about this? If you do not believe me, ask Lu Shiping and Qin Keying.” Hua Jieyu said.
“It is most likely that Young Master Feng who killed him.” Lu Shiping replied. However, even she did not notice that her voice was trembling slightly.
“It was him.” Qin Keying remained as economical with words as ever.
“It really was him?” Upon hearing this, Chen Miaoling turned her head to look at Li Feng, her eyes shining brightly. “So strong, so amazing. Isn’t this exactly the kind of man I have in my heart? I have decided. From now on, I want to pursue him. You all cannot compete with me.”
“Infatuated fool.” Lu Shiping rolled her eyes at her.
At the same time, in the cafeteria.
“Dead? This innate fourth layer expert actually died just like that? How is this possible? Who killed him?” Da Gui looked towards the direction of the Great Hero Hall in disbelief. Because the cafeteria was quite far from the Great Hero Hall, not to mention seeing how the grey-robed old man died, even the sounds from that side could barely be heard when they reached here. So Da Gui had no idea what had happened.
“Could it be an expert behind Young Master Feng?” Wu Gui said with some fear and trepidation.
“An expert behind Young Master Feng!” Da Gui’s expression tightened.
“Yes, only this explanation makes sense.” Wu Gui replied.
“But this grey-robed old man was an innate fourth layer expert. Instantly killing an innate fourth layer. How strong must this expert behind Young Master Feng be? Innate fifth layer or innate sixth layer? Most importantly, now that the grey-robed old man is dead, do we still proceed with our plan? If the expert behind Young Master Feng can kill an innate fourth layer grey-robed old man, can he also kill us?”
Da Gui said this and looked at his brothers beside him. He asked gravely, “What do you all think? What should we do now?”
