Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 863: Don’t Speak So Soon of Grandiose Claims

Heavens! Is this really Lin Feng?

At that moment, the same thought erupted in the minds of almost everyone from the Li Family. The Lin Feng, who they assumed the old ancestor could effortlessly kill, was now displaying such earth-shattering strength. Not only had he not been slain by the old ancestor, but in this stiff competition, he had temporarily gained the upper hand. This... this power is simply too terrifying!

How could Lin Feng possibly have such strength? It’s too incredible to believe. Bear in mind, the old ancestor was someone who had even defeated the Old Monster. Although he didn’t use that ice-cold True Qi in his last strike, the power nonetheless should have been immense. Yet, Lin Feng... he actually managed to gain the upper hand. How... how is this possible?

No matter how they racked their brains, they couldn’t figure it out. They simply couldn’t understand how someone like Lin Feng could suddenly emerge in the Cultivation World, completely overturning its common knowledge. A young man in his early twenties possessing such strength was beyond imagination. Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they could never have conceived of a supreme expert like Lin Feng existing in the Cultivation World. It was utterly inconceivable...

Li Litian’s heart skipped a beat when he witnessed this scene. He, too, had never expected such a turn of events. In his memory, the old ancestor had always been invincible.

Lin Feng...

How is Lin Feng so formidable?

No wonder the old ancestor said Lin Feng was the savior of the Nangong Family!

This is... too incredible; how old is he, exactly?

...

The Nangong Clan were also severely shaken by Lin Feng’s current performance. They knew that Lin Feng had come to help the Nangong Family and that he had crippled Yue Bufan. But still... they could never have imagined that Lin Feng would be powerful to such a degree. They were at a loss for words; Lin Feng was truly too impressive!

What was even more astonishing was that Lin Feng managed to repel Li Deming. In their eyes, this was an impossibility. The old ancestor had just been in that condition and still didn’t get the better of Li Deming, yet Lin Feng’s strike had achieved it. How... what can one say? This already signified Lin Feng’s strength. Lin Feng’s current power had even surpassed the old ancestor’s, no wonder the old ancestor had invited Lin Feng over. So that was it... That was how it was!

The hearts of the Nangong Clan members were now alight with a glimmer of hope. Although no one knew the final outcome, they were no longer in such despair. At least, Lin Feng had shown them hope, and that alone was enough. Of course, they wished even more that Lin Feng could truly kill Li Deming to avenge the old ancestor; such an ending would be perfect. But this was just their inner wishful thinking; it was still too early to say whether Lin Feng could defeat Li Deming or not. Thinking of all this was premature...

How... how is this possible!

Similarly, Li Deming was also astounded by Lin Feng’s strength; he had never imagined Lin Feng could be so formidable. This... this was simply inconceivable. After all, he had once exchanged a palm strike with the Old Monster, using his Sky Severing Palm at that. The Old Monster was already so powerful, yet he had only managed to repel Li Deming about three hundred meters. But now, Lin Feng had seemingly reached the Old Monster’s level, which was astonishing to him!

Li Deming felt he was at a loss for words to describe his shock at Lin Feng’s strength. Lin Feng was so young; how could he be so powerful? It was almost as if he was on par with the Old Monster. It was unbelievably bizarre. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that Lin Feng could be considered a master of the same caliber as the Old Monster. This exceeded everyone’s expectations. Likewise, he hadn’t anticipated Lin Feng to harbor such heaven-defying strength.

Li Deming had already sustained some minor injuries from that last hit, and that was with him being fully prepared. To still be injured, even if slightly, caused turmoil in his heart because Lin Feng’s demonstrated strength now qualified him as someone worthy of exchanging blows with. This was entirely beyond his expectations. It seemed... it seemed that he truly needed to fight earnestly this time. No wonder Nangong He was so insistent, no wonder the Nangong Family asked Lin Feng to step in—Lin Feng had already become such a master without anyone realizing!

However, despite his astonishment, Li Deming harbored no doubts about defeating Lin Feng and killing him today. He hadn’t even used his Ice Element True Qi yet. So, no matter what, there was no way Lin Feng could be his match. As soon as he deployed his Ice Element True Qi, Lin Feng, no matter how powerful, was surely doomed today!

"Lin Feng, I truly didn’t expect you to be this formidable. But even so, you won’t be able to defeat me. I’ve only used half of my strength just now. Today is the day you die!" Li Deming declared, and immediately, a burst of icy energy emerged from his hands. This was his Ice Element True Qi, and it was with this in his arsenal that Li Deming felt unbeatable. He had already defeated the Old Monster, so how could he possibly fail to handle Lin Feng? It was simply unthinkable!

"Don’t make your grand assertions too soon. I’ve long wanted to kill you to eliminate future troubles. Who dies today is still uncertain. Let’s see if you can survive today before making such bold claims," Lin Feng said indifferently. Yet, even Lin Feng started to regard Li Deming anew. The Old Monster had warned him that Li Deming’s strength was no longer what it once was. Therefore, from the onset of their confrontation, Lin Feng had been very cautious. Although he had not used any other abilities, during the moment of the palm strike, he pushed his own True Qi to the limit and even directly employed Soul Extinction Palm, the Carefree Palm’s ultimate move. Unexpectedly, Li Deming managed to block it, which testified to Li Deming’s current formidable power.

Seeing the icy aura emanating from Li Deming’s palms, Lin Feng immediately deduced that it must be Elemental True Qi possessed by a late-stage S-class expert. Recognizing this, Lin Feng knew he could no longer hold back. Li Deming would surely bring his peak power to bear in the upcoming battle. If Lin Feng did not treat this seriously, it would be tantamount to courting death. Li Deming was undoubtedly the most formidable opponent he had encountered thus far, a realization that meant Lin Feng could no longer afford to hold anything back.

With that thought, the golden True Qi surrounding Lin Feng suddenly transformed; it was no longer pure gold but now appeared as a blazing Flame. Lin Feng was now utilizing the Elemental True Qi he had comprehended from the Old Monster, intending to mix it with his own True Qi to confront Li Deming and strive for a decisive kill.

The red light grew brighter, and within it, Lin Feng seemed unfazed. The faint golden glow enveloping him made Lin Feng appear like an Immortal descended from the heavens. To any onlooker, Lin Feng no longer seemed human, for no ordinary person could achieve such a preternatural feat.

"What? Fire Element True Qi? What... what is your relationship with the Old Monster?" Upon witnessing Lin Feng’s transformation, Li Deming was once again utterly shocked. He could never have anticipated that Lin Feng could employ Fire Element True Qi — this was simply beyond belief, as it was the Old Monster’s signature ability. How could Lin Feng possibly possess Fire Element True Qi? What... what was going on? How... how did Lin Feng obtain the Old Monster’s Fire Element True Qi?

Li Deming was full of wonder, but he knew he couldn’t afford to be lax at this moment. Even though he had no idea how Lin Feng came by his Fire Element True Qi, he had felt its formidable power firsthand. If he were careless now, it would surely be like signing his own death warrant. Without further hesitation, Li Deming released his own Ice Element True Qi, instantly exuding bone-chilling coldness from head to toe—his ultimate trump card.

Gradually, his body became covered in Ice Element True Qi, and even his clothing began to frost over with layers of ice. At this moment, Li Deming decided to face Lin Feng with his true peak power, aiming for a single blow to kill, because Lin Feng had now revealed the Old Monster’s Fire Element True Qi, necessitating a serious response.

"I have no dealings with the Old Monster, it’s merely Fire Element True Qi that I’ve comprehended. There’s nothing surprising about it. However, I am quite curious about the Ice Element True Qi you possess," Lin Feng stated coolly. Seeing Li Deming’s dense Ice Element True Qi, Lin Feng recalled an important detail: the Old Monster’s injury must have been inflicted by Li Deming’s Ice Element True Qi. Considering the Old Monster’s formidable strength still suffered a heavy blow from Li Deming, the issue was clear.

With this in mind, Lin Feng didn’t dare to be careless and was very cautious of Li Deming’s Ice Element True Qi. He had no absolute certainty in defeating Li Deming’s current power. Moreover, Lin Feng had indeed felt the immense power of Li Deming’s Sky Severing Palm. If that were combined with his Ice Element True Qi, Lin Feng couldn’t even fathom the level of power it might reach. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Lin Feng was considering how to face Li Deming...
