Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 401 How to solve this situation?

"S-rank?" Lin Feng had sensed from the Sword Qi just now that this old man known as Uncle Li was truly out of the ordinary—an S-rank expert! He truly hadn’t expected to encounter such a high-level expert in Tianhai, a supercity in the Secular World.

Cheap old man had said before that AA-rank experts were already very rare in the secular realm, AAA-rank experts wouldn’t move around unless there was something special, while S-rank experts were restricted by many things. Unless there was some major event, S-rank experts were strictly forbidden from entering the Secular World because their battles were simply too exaggerated—in the eyes of ordinary people, they were like human-shaped nuclear bombs.

"Hmm! So you’re definitely going to die today." Uncle Li looked at the young man before him and was also quite surprised. Seeing an S-rank expert like himself, this young man was not at all afraid, and even dared to speak with him. He truly was a unique individual. If it were someone else, they might have already prostrated on the ground, begging for their life. But this young man seemed to not care at all.

"Whether I die or not, I don’t know, but at least I know I won’t die today," Lin Feng said, then began to circulate his Exclusive Supreme Soaring Decree at full strength. Facing an S-rank expert and still holding back would probably mean not even knowing how one died.

"Since that’s the case, we’ll know the outcome soon." Uncle Li was almost made to laugh by Lin Feng’s comment. He couldn’t imagine where the young man got such confidence, thinking he could defeat him was simply delusional.

"I think we should change the location, if ordinary people see this, it would be too shocking," Lin Feng said, looking at the huge gash in the ground caused by Uncle Li’s Sword Qi, and immediately shook his head inwardly. The power of this S-rank individual’s Sword Qi was really great, if they began to fight, the surroundings would definitely be torn asunder by Uncle Li, which would be even worse if seen by others. So it was better to move the battleground to a deserted place.

"Hmm!" Uncle Li agreed as well. The current location was indeed not suitable for a battle. The best place would be where there were no people, somewhere that noise wasn’t a concern.

Hearing that Uncle Li agreed, Lin Feng didn’t hesitate and immediately ran towards the nearby mountains. In the mountains, whatever happened would not attract attention, which made it the most suitable place.

Seeing Lin Feng’s speed, Uncle Li, too, was taken aback, unable to guess what background this young man had. Never before had such a heaven-defying youth appeared in the Cultivation World—it was really boundless, how his future would develop. Time to see how this young man compared to the Young Patriarch.

With that in mind, Uncle Li also moved. At their level of expertise, they had no regard for sneak attacks; just as elephants wouldn’t compare their strength to ants, he lightly floated, following behind Lin Feng, ready to take action once they found a suitable place.

Before long, the two reached a mountain not far from there and ran into the valley below. Only then did they stop, both feeling satisfied with the environment—surrounded by mountains, no roads, no people, whatever happened wouldn’t be known to the outside world.

"Bring out your sword. I know that S-rank people all have weapons," Lin Feng said casually from a distance, having been told by his cheap master that S-rank experts usually had their unique weapons. With their help, they could greatly amplify the effects of Sword Qi or blade energy. And having already dodged a blade of his Sword Qi, it was evident that his weapon was indeed a sword.

"You know quite a bit," Uncle Li replied and from his sleeve, a very short Ancient Sword floated out, just over a foot long, but the two glaringly sharp edges on its rust-covered blade testified to its sharpness. Uncle Li did a circle in front of himself with the sword, grasping it in his hand, casually twisting it into a sword flower—the Sword Qi emanating instantaneously severed several nearby trees at the waist.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

...

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

...

Seconds later, the trees finally fell, piling up together, but the cut surfaces were as smooth as mirrors, revealing the sharpness of that stroke of Sword Qi!

"A fine sword it is, so let it be a battle then." Seeing how Uncle Li could produce such powerful Sword Qi with a mere casual strike, Lin Feng knew this was the most dangerous encounter he had ever faced, and that instinctive sense of danger within him was constantly screaming: Danger! Extreme danger!

He had never before faced a master of S-level strength. The sudden appearance of Uncle Li was no doubt the greatest test for him. With this realization, Lin Feng held nothing back, immediately pushing the Exclusive Supreme Soaring Decree to its limits and a faint golden light enveloped his body. From afar, Lin Feng seemed to be surrounded by this pale golden light, resembling a legendary Bodhisattva.

Seeing Lin Feng ready, Uncle Li dispensed with pleasantries and unleashed a colorless Sword Qi in the shape of a crescent, ten meters wide, rushing towards Lin Feng. The Sword Qi was silent, but it sliced through the air like lightning, cleaving everything in its path in two before Uncle Li’s figure flickered.

"Bang!"

A large crater appeared on the ground as Uncle Li vanished from his original spot.

Confronted with Uncle Li’s incredibly sharp Sword Qi, Lin Feng didn’t dodge but drew his personal dagger and released a pale gold Sword Qi, colliding with Uncle Li’s. Although both were Sword Qis, Lin Feng’s was just over three meters wide, and much shorter in length compared to Uncle Li’s. But unexpectedly, it cleaved Uncle Li’s Sword Qi in two.

"Swoosh..."

After severing Uncle Li’s Sword Qi, the pale gold Sword Qi, far from dissipating, floated and dashed directly towards the airborne Uncle Li, leaving him quite astonished. How could this be possible! It’s impossible, he thought. As an S-level cultivator, his Sword Qi shouldn’t be split like this, and he had never heard of a pale gold Sword Qi. What was going on?

Moreover, Lin Feng’s three-meter-long pale gold Sword Qi was indeed strange, managing to cut through his much wider Sword Qi. Such an occurrence was unprecedented for him, having never heard before of True Qi that was colored. Witnessing True Qi with color for the first time today in this young man made him realize...

It seemed this fight would be interesting. This young man had caused him a little surprise. With that thought, Uncle Li pointed his Windbreaker Sword downward and pressed down from the air, diving like lightning towards Lin Feng below.

Having noticed the commotion above, Lin Feng, after breaking through Uncle Li’s Sword Qi, didn’t even think before attempting to quickly move out of the attack range, but he hadn’t anticipated Uncle Li’s speed, which was incredibly fast. Acting on instinct, Lin Feng pushed his own speed to the limit and dodged backward just in time to narrowly evade Uncle Li’s strike. Yet, Lin Feng’s arm wasn’t quite quick enough, and a small cut opened at his shoulder, from which blood was already seeping.

Missing his target and then looking at Lin Feng with a strange expression, Uncle Li was filled with surprise. Could this be the skill of an S-level master? Lin Feng finally understood what an S-level master was capable of, vastly different from any opponent he had faced before. But it seemed that, for now, he was just under immense pressure rather than immediately lethal danger.

What should he do to defeat his formidable opponent? Lin Feng’s mind raced, trying to figure out how to kill the man before him who was much stronger than himself...

Similarly, Uncle Li was full of surprise, never expecting this young man could dodge his attack. By all reasoning, not even a peak AAA-level master should be able to avoid it, yet this young man did just that under his watchful eye. Though slightly wounded, the injury was insignificant. This young man—who was he? With such terrifying skills, he definitely wasn’t a nobody.

What puzzled Uncle Li even more was that during their brief engagement, he couldn’t determine Lin Feng’s level. This was highly unusual: initially, he had thought that defeating the Young Patriarch meant that Lin Feng could be a peak AAA-level at best, but the combat ability displayed far exceeded that of an AAA-level master, yet he didn’t exhibit the distinct indicators of an S-level master.

How could this happen, how could there be such an anomaly? Aren’t all cultivators categorized by levels—so why was this man an enigma?

"Who are you exactly, and who is your master?" Uncle Li asked Lin Feng calmly, genuinely not expecting to encounter such an exceptional young man with peculiar skills—who clearly wasn’t just anybody.

"I am Lin Feng, and as for who my master is, I do not know," Lin Feng replied nonchalantly to Uncle Li while his mind was still frantically planning how to kill him. Uncle Li’s speed was now comparable to his, even slightly faster, and he was wielding what seemed to be a very sharp Ancient Sword. It seemed he was at a disadvantage. How was he to extricate himself from this predicament?

Could it be that he must force himself to release...
