Chapter 867: Engaging in Battle
Li Deming was also very knowledgeable about the Ancient Sword. If not because he had no rivals except for the Old Monster decades ago, he wouldn’t have sealed his sword for many years. In using the Ancient Sword, he had his own unique insights. Decades ago, he even had a very resounding nickname, the Shadowless Sword Saint. It showed just how far Li Deming had reached in his swordsmanship. Thus, with the Ancient Sword in hand, Li Deming also had absolute confidence that he would kill Lin Feng!
Seeing Li Deming make a move, Lin Feng did not say anything. The gold and crimson True Qi rose again from his body, and his figure moved as well. This movement was critical, making Lin Feng’s exact location untraceable once more. The crimson True Qi even pulled a red phantom in the air, its speed incredibly hard to imagine!
As a probing attack, Lin Feng casually unleashed a gold and crimson Sword Gang that flew towards Li Deming. Lin Feng never thought such a Sword Gang could injure Li Deming. It was merely a test to gauge the extent of Li Deming’s Sword Gang, to better plan his next move. As for whether Li Deming’s Sword Gang could hurt him, Lin Feng wasn’t worried at all. When it came to defensive moves, Lin Feng had absolute confidence.
Seeing the Sword Gang that Lin Feng suddenly released, which was only over thirty meters long but contained gold and crimson True Qi, Li Deming did not take it lightly. He directly responded with a frosty white Sword Gang over fifty meters long. Now, Li Deming also didn’t dare to be careless. The strength Lin Feng had demonstrated before was too exaggerated. The power of this Sword Gang was definitely not to be underestimated; he didn’t want to suffer any injuries due to carelessness.
Moreover, Lin Feng’s speed was now much faster than before, a fact that made Li Deming quite apprehensive. He never would have imagined that Lin Feng’s speed could reach such an astonishing level after shedding his weights. His speed could now be compared with Li Deming’s, and was even faster in some respects; it thoroughly shocked Li Deming. If Lin Feng’s strength had already greatly surprised him, Lin Feng’s current speed had given him another severe shock. He couldn’t even dream that there would be someone in the world faster than him...
Now, Li Deming had already decided. He must find a way to kill Lin Feng. As for how to do it, Li Deming didn’t have any surefire plan at the moment. He could only play it by ear, but if he found an opening, he would not miss the opportunity for a lethal strike!
"Bang!"
The two Sword Gangs collided in mid-air, undoubtedly causing an earth-shattering boom. A piercing sound vibrated everyone’s eardrums, and even in the air, one could see dazzling lights. The red and white Sword Gangs fought like warriors clashing...
Where the Sword Gangs met, the Gang Qi emitted tore open a trench dozens of meters long on the ground! This demonstrated the immense power of the two Sword Gangs, far exceeding everyone’s imagination!
The sound shook the heavens and resounded through the sky, causing the entire valley to tremble...
Immediately after, the frosty white Sword Gang released by Li Deming collided with Lin Feng’s gold and crimson Sword Gang. Much weakened, yet still with inexorable momentum and a whistling sound, it surged towards Lin Feng...
From the collision, Li Deming instantly realized the power of Lin Feng’s Sword Gang. Indeed, as he suspected, Lin Feng’s Sword Gang was formidable. Li Deming’s own Sword Gang was fueled by ice Elemental True Qi, its power unquestionably beyond that of ordinary Sword Gangs. But even so, it had been significantly diminished by Lin Feng’s Sword Gang, which was a mere thirty meters long. This outcome was beyond Li Deming’s expectations.
Thinking this, Li Deming sped up once again, continuing his charge towards Lin Feng. Clearly, Sword Gangs were no longer sufficient to harm Lin Feng. What remained was to win with skill. Confidence surged in Li Deming’s heart, how could Lin Feng possibly compare with his swordsmanship? Back in the day, his sword technique had dominated the Cultivation World. His Shadowless Profound Heaven Sword was unmatched by anyone but the Old Monster. Lin Feng attempting to outmatch him in sword technique was like an amateur playing with a broadsword before Master Guan, courting death. Since Lin Feng was seeking his own demise, why would he hold back!
His form became even faster, with only white streaks of light dancing through the air. At this moment, Li Deming’s speed had reached its limit. Apart from Nangong He and Lin Feng, the other onlookers could no longer see Li Deming’s figure clearly because his speed was simply too fast, far surpassing what normal humans could imagine.
Lin Feng, through the probing Sword Gang, had also gauged the strength of Li Deming’s Sword Gang and had a rough assessment in mind. Seeing Li Deming increase his speed, Lin Feng also elevated his own in preparation for the imminent clash...
Lin Feng was truly formidable. No wonder the Old Monster rated him so highly!
Nangong He watched this scene, already amazed by Lin Feng. Now, he was even more awestruck by Lin Feng’s speed. Even he could barely catch a glimpse of Lin Feng’s figure now. The speed Lin Feng was showing was definitely at the peak within the Cultivation World. Perhaps... Perhaps in the entire Cultivation World, only the Old Monster and Li Deming could compare with Lin Feng in speed. Such a rate was truly inconceivable!
Lin Feng was indeed lethal, to be so young yet have the ability to face Li Deming head-on was already unbelievable. But no one expected that after shedding his weights, Lin Feng’s speed could change to such an extent, like a completely different person from before. With such speed and an Ancient Sword in hand, he would undoubtedly be a formidable rival to Li Deming. At least now, Lin Feng was truly on an equal footing with Li Deming. Just what the outcome would be, however...
What!
This can’t be possible!
How can the speed be so fast!
How...how can no one be seen!
The people of the Li Family and the Nangong Family were thoroughly stunned by the sight before them. The confrontation between Lin Feng and Li Deming had already been dramatic, yet they had not anticipated that the true clash between Lin Feng and Li Deming was unfolding now. The power of both their Sword Gangs was tremendous, far surpassing any ordinary S-level expert by not just a little bit. The scattered Sword Qi alone was capable of ripping a trench several dozen meters long into the ground; such might was simply... simply too immense!
What shocked them even more were the speeds of Lin Feng and Li Deming, as both men had now disappeared from their sight. This was something they never even dreamt possible. The speed that the human eye could track had its limits, but now... now Li Deming and Lin Feng had actually vanished from their eyes, an ability they could not even begin to imagine. It was only at this moment that they truly realized Lin Feng was indeed on the same level as Li Deming.
Such strength was too exaggerated, too inconceivable...
And it was at this moment that the real battle between Lin Feng and Li Deming truly began!
Lin Feng and Li Deming no longer underestimated each other; they knew all too well how dangerous this battle was. When true masters fought, victory or defeat could be decided in an instant; Lin Feng and Li Deming understood this more clearly than anyone. Hence, from that moment on, both immersed themselves wholeheartedly into the fray.
The vast expanse of the bluestone plaza at the entrance of the Nangong Clan, spanning tens of thousands of square meters, had become the main battleground for Lin Feng and Li Deming. The members of the Li Family and the Nangong Family all drew back far away, for none of them were confident they could withstand the scattered Sword Gangs. The Gang Qi that seemed to obliterate the earth and destroy the heavens was simply insurmountable by anyone...
On the plaza, Lin Feng and Li Deming’s figures could no longer be seen, only a red and a white light were seen ceaselessly darting around, colliding from time to time and sending Sword Gangs flying in all directions, annihilating everything in their path!
The air filled with deafening roars and the sounds of metal clashing from time to time, ringing in the ears of everyone present, causing a continuous buzz!
Moreover, the earth never ceased trembling, constantly emitting mournful groans as if signaling the end of the world at that moment...
...
Time passed for a while, appearing brief, but Lin Feng and Li Deming had traded countless blows with neither gaining the slightest advantage over the other. Now, both of their bodies were covered with many fine wounds. If their Protective Gang Qi had not been sufficiently strong, they would have been mutually injured by the scattered Sword Qi long ago.
The originally smooth bluestone plaza within the valley was now marred with giant pits and deep ravines, leaving not even a small patch of level ground to speak of the earth-shattering battle between Lin Feng and Li Deming!
The people from the Nangong Family and the Li Family were now at a loss for words to describe the shock in their hearts. No matter how much they imagined, they could never have envisioned the magnitude of power this battle possessed; it was shocking and terrifying. Only now did they truly understand what an entity a late-stage S-level expert was. No wonder only the Old Monster had reached the S-level before; with such astonishing power, these late-stage S-level experts truly transcended humanity, exceeding the imagination of all cultivators!
All they could do now was to watch the duel from afar, witnessing the Gang Qi flying chaotically, beholding the red and white lights. There was nothing more they could do...
It was then that another unexpected event occurred.
"Boom!"
Another thunderous explosion sounded, louder than any previous clash, almost causing the leaves within the valley to tremble. Then the red and white lights shot back as if flying away, and a tremendous Gang Qi brutally split the ground open again, creating an enormous trench over a hundred meters long!
Hearing this explosion, the hearts of the people from the Nangong Family and the Li Family were in their throats, all of them worried for Lin Feng and Li Deming. With such a powerful force at play, they were truly concerned about their conditions.
Only after the two lights came to a halt did the crowd manage to clearly see the current state of the two fighters...
