Chapter 163 Mist Ghost Forest!

"Hahaha, kid, you’re definitely dead this time!"The Fifth Elder’s face flashed with an incredibly fierce color as he laughed uproariously, "Today, I will have to skin you and slice you to pieces to satiate the hatred in my heart!"

But Ling Feng didn’t show any sign of feeling besieged. A cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and his figure flashed, disappearing in front of the Third Elder.

The Third Elder sneered, "Just a Magnetic Condensation Realm practitioner comparing speed with me—"

Before he could finish his sentence, a cry of alarm came from not far away. It was the voice of the Fifth Elder.

"You... how... could you..."

His voice abruptly ceased as a pitch-black long sword pierced through his chest, directly stabbing through the Fifth Elder’s heart!

At the same moment, a streak of firelight shot from Ling Feng’s body, effortlessly penetrating the Seventh Elder’s Protective Gang Qi. With just the blink of an eye, the Seventh Elder rapidly aged, his body went limp, collapsing to the ground, unable to move.

His remaining lifespan was completely drained by Zi Feng.

The Third Elder and his group thought they’d lured Ling Feng into a trap with their feigned opening, but Ling Feng had actually turned it to his advantage. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

The moment they thought they had surrounded Ling Feng, there would inevitably be a moment of relaxation.

And this moment of relaxation was all within Ling Feng’s calculations.

After slaying a Peak of Pulse Condensation Martial Artist, Ling Feng had already relayed the Seventh Elder’s position to Zi Feng. Then, in the blink of an eye, they struck simultaneously, instantly killing both the Fifth and Seventh Elders.

His plan was to slaughter those two Early-Stage Origin Transformation practitioners right under the nose of a Mid-Stage Origin Transformation Realm expert!

Such madness, such arrogance!

"The Fifth! The Seventh!"

The Third Elder’s eyes were about to split apart with fury as a terrifying aura erupted from his body. He shook the long knife in his hand and bellowed, "Kid, you’re courting death!"

Ling Feng didn’t hesitate at all, directly grabbing an Elemental Stone from his bosom and swallowing it down, then he spurred on his movement technique and made a mad dash to escape.

Having killed the Fifth Elder, Ling Feng had exhausted himself performing the Leaving Fire Burning Sky, making him extremely weak at the moment. However, after swallowing an Elemental Stone, the pure Primordial Qi flowed through his limbs, allowing him to grit his teeth and muster his energy, urging the Carefree Sword Step to quickly retreat.

Even though the Fifth and Seventh Elders were dead, the Third Elder’s strength was still beyond Ling Feng’s expectations.

In just one palm strike, the old man’s palm force directly cleaved through a swath of trees, peeling off the ground to the depth of an inch, leaving not a single blade of grass!

Only now did Ling Feng realize how substantial the difference in strength was with each minor level after reaching the Origin Transformation Realm. No wonder even Zi Feng said that even as an Earth Fire Flame Ghost, he wouldn’t be a match for the Third Elder.

"Zi Feng!"

Ling Feng bellowed, and Zi Feng immediately understood. As Zi Feng flew back to Ling Feng’s side, he spat out a blaze of Earth Fire Flame, forming a ring of fiery flames around the Third Elder.

Although the ring of flames could only stop the Third Elder for a moment, it gave Ling Feng a chance to widen the distance.

In his weakened state, it was not suitable to clash head-on with the Third Elder any longer.

"Damn it, don’t even think about running away!"

The Third Elder was so furious that he trembled like thunder. His sleeves fluttered, the wind whipped up, and he dispersed Zi Feng’s Earth Fire Flame, propelling himself into a chase after Ling Feng.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two figures shot through the pitch-black night sky, like two bolts of electricity, rapidly flying away.

The last remaining Protector of the Jia Mansion glanced at the ice-cold corpses around him, his body shuddering, followed by an unpleasant stench wafting through the air.

Even as a Peak of Pulse Condensation Martial Artist, Ling Feng’s scare made him wet himself!

However, he also became the only survivor sent out by the Jia Family to pursue and kill Ling Feng tonight.

After this night, he left the Jia Family, knowing that until the last moment of his life, recalling this night of bloodshed, he still couldn’t help but shiver uncontrollably, the cold sweat pouring out.

The youth in the dark night had become the undying nightmare of his life, like a Shura emerging out of hell.

Whoosh!

Ling Feng fled swiftly, pushing the Carefree Sword Step to its limit.

The Elemental Stone in his mouth was directly swallowed by Ling Feng, as he crazily operated the "Xuanyuan True Technique," absorbing the spiritual power within.

His meridians were incredibly swollen and painful; before this, Ling Feng had already absorbed four other Elemental Stones.

Even for Ling Feng, continuously unleashing the "Moving Flower and Burying Jade Sword" killing move was undoubtedly a significant burden. If it had not been for his tenacious will, an ordinary person would have likely fainted from exhaustion long ago.

Especially that last sword, which killed the Fifth Elder in a second. Ling Feng forcibly activated "Leaving Fire Burning Sky," and although he instantly took down the Fifth Elder, it left him almost without the strength to hold his sword.

He could not care about the swelling pain in his veins; he frantically called upon the True Qi provided by the Elemental Stone, with only one thought in his mind: Run!

Yet even so, he could feel that the Third Elder of the Jia Family was getting closer and closer!

The only solace was that after Zi Feng killed the Seventh Elder and devoured his lifespan, he shared a portion of it with Ling Feng, which surprisingly allowed him to recover quite a bit of physical strength.

However, even if he had recovered to his peak condition, he was probably still not a match for the Third Elder in a direct confrontation, not to mention that he was unable to use "Leaving Fire Burning Sky" again in the short term.

"Little beast, you can’t escape! After killing so many of my Jia Family, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, there will be no place for you to hide!"

Murderous intent burst forth in the eyes of the Jia Family’s Third Elder.

Including Jia Song, three Origin Transformation Realm Elders of the Jia Mansion had died. When had the Jia Family of Hanwu County ever suffered such a loss?

As the Third Elder pressed closer, Ling Feng knew that the only reason he hadn’t burst forth in an instant to catch up was that he wanted Ling Feng to run himself ragged, to use up his last bit of True Qi and be utterly exhausted, leaving him without any means to resist.

Clearly, that one sword that had instantly killed the Fifth Elder and Zi Feng’s Earth Fire Flame had made the Third Elder wary.

"Old fox!"

Ling Feng’s heart was filled with urgent anxiety—he wasn’t ready to meet an early death just yet!

Clinching his teeth tightly, Ling Feng grabbed a few more Elemental Stones and, regardless of the violent Primordial Qi that caused his veins to swell with pain, he stuffed them into his mouth all at once and flew towards the front.

All of a sudden, a frown creased the Third Elder’s brow behind him.

"That is the Mist Ghost Forest!" the Third Elder of the Jia Family cursed inwardly.

The Mist Ghost Forest was known as the most dangerous place within the borders of Hanwu County, with a near-certain death for anyone who dared to approach.

For so many years, no martial artist who entered had come out alive.

"He must not get close to the Mist Ghost Forest!"

The Third Elder of the Jia Family snorted coldly and suddenly erupted in speed, shooting towards Ling Feng.

"I’ll speed up too!"

Due to consuming a large amount of Elemental Stones, streams of pure Primordial Qi burst forth within him. Ling Feng recklessly urged that qi, and just like a dying light returning to brightness, his speed also suddenly shot up.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two figures, one ahead of the other, rapidly approached the direction of the Mist Ghost Forest.

"Youngster, stop right there! Ahead lies the Mist Ghost Forest, once you enter, you only have a path to death!"

The Third Elder began to feel anxious inside. Ling Feng entering the Mist Ghost Forest would surely mean his end, and it would count as avenging the Jia Family’s Fifth Elder and others. But the Third Elder was also coveting the movement technique, swordsmanship, and those Elemental Stones that Ling Feng had.

If these treasures were to be lost in the Mist Ghost Forest, it would be too regrettable.

Ling Feng completely ignored the Third Elder’s intentions and charged towards the Mist Ghost Forest.

"Humph!" The Third Elder’s eyebrows shot up as he slammed his palm down, summoning the rich Primordial Qi inside his body and fiercely striking out towards Ling Feng’s direction.

The Palm Force of Primordial Qi pushed towards Ling Feng’s back, tearing through the void. In an instant, it hit Ling Feng squarely on the back.

"Puh!"

A mouthful of blood spewed out violently.

However, to the Third Elder’s surprise, Ling Feng did not fall from the sky but instead used the force of the palm to increase the distance ahead.

"Old wretch, remember this—if I do not die, your Jia Family will not even leave the dogs or chickens alive!" Ling Feng issued a roar that shook the Nine Heavens.

In an instant, his figure shot forward like an arrow, piercing the sky, and he actually crashed into the bounds of the Mist Ghost Forest.

In the blink of an eye, Ling Feng had completely vanished from the Third Elder’s sight, as if the dense mist had utterly devoured him.
