Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 971: A World-Shocking Battle (Part 1)

The Old Monster and many other masters were of course aware of what was happening, Lin Feng had forced Li Zerui to a duel at the mountain summit in order not to involve the guests attending the wedding below. The real battle hadn’t even begun yet, and without even thinking, everyone knew that the fight between Lin Feng and Li Zerui was bound to be destructive as if obliterating the earth, and by that time, it wasn’t just here, the entire Tianhai would be shocked.

However, they could no longer afford to worry about that now. Many masters exchanged glances, all braced for action, prepared to respond to all kinds of situations at any time. Even the Old Monster, Nangong He, and Zhu Tao, who wielded the Ancient Swords, had already drawn their swords. At this moment, they really couldn’t afford to be careless. After all, there were just too many important figures among the guests here; they truly couldn’t bear such responsibility.

Ding Wan’er had also returned to the midst of the other women. They all understood that Lin Feng had forced Li Zerui to fight at the summit so that the guests below wouldn’t get hurt, which would have distracted Lin Feng. So they all sat together, tightly holding each other’s hands, silently cheering for Lin Feng and praying in their hearts that Lin Feng wouldn’t get hurt and that he would successfully kill Li Zerui.

The three elders and the parents of Lin Feng and Ding Wan’er were also worried about Lin Feng’s safety in their hearts. Although they all knew that Lin Feng was formidable, Li Zerui was just too powerful. Even knowing how strong Lin Feng was, their concern was inevitable. This was the heart of being an elder.

Lin Feng’s fellow senior brothers and sisters also turned their heads towards the summit, curious about what the scene of the duel between their junior brother and Li Zerui would look like. They didn’t worry whether Lin Feng could defeat Li Zerui. In their view, no matter how powerful Li Zerui was, he couldn’t possibly be a match for their junior brother, the genuine disciple of their master. This was an indisputable fact.

Boss, is this still our boss?

Huang Shi was astonished, rooted to the spot upon witnessing the scene. He had seen Lin Feng in action against Wan Long and knew the Boss was very powerful. But he had never imagined that in just about half a year, the Boss had become so powerful. It was truly hard for him to believe everything he was seeing was real!

Just how formidable was Li Zerui? He hadn’t even made his move yet, and it had already reached such an exaggerated level. Furthermore, there had been such a horrifying clash before. That Li Zerui, who was so formidable, was beaten up by the Boss without the slightest ability to fight back... This was really too exaggerated. What was even more outrageous was the Boss’s speed now; one couldn’t even see him, not even his shadow... How fast would that have to be? It was truly unimaginable!

In Huang Shi’s heart, a storm of shock had risen. His eyes looked toward the mountain summit nearby, never expecting that the Boss could be such a super-expert... This truly made Huang Shi at a loss for words...

...

At the watched mountain summit, Lin Feng and Li Zerui stood hundreds of meters apart. The bare mountain, long devoid of trees, had only patches of stubborn grass growing. On Li Zerui’s side, the ground had turned into a frozen field; all the short grass was frosted white, emitting strands of Cold Qi, while Lin Feng’s side remained unaffected. Lin Feng just stood there, his eyes on Li Zerui.

Lin Feng really didn’t expect that Li Zerui’s Ice True Qi would be so much more intense than Li Deming’s Ice Element True Qi. The recent series of attacks, although seemingly simple on the surface, were actually extremely perilous. Had Lin Feng not reacted swiftly enough to use the Fire Element True Qi protective spell he obtained from the Old Monster, he might have been frozen by Li Zerui’s Ice True Qi at the instant he struck at Li Zerui.

Even with such a quick reaction, Lin Feng’s arms were now covered with a thin layer of frost, resembling as if they were just taken out of a freezer, radiating a slight coldness.

"Haha... Lin Feng, didn’t expect that, did you? Didn’t expect my Ice True Qi to be so powerful, did you? I haven’t even made a move, and your hands are already like this. What will you use to fight me? Hahaha... Dream on if you think you can defeat me. Today is the day you die, and even if you think of running, it’s useless now! Haha..."

Although Li Zerui had just been barraged by a series of attacks from Lin Feng, with the full circulation of the Nine Nether Breaking Sky Art in conjunction with an Ice True Qi barrier, he had sustained only minor injuries. To him, these wounds were virtually inconsequential. However, when he stopped, he caught sight of Lin Feng’s hands and burst into laughter, thinking to himself, "Lin Feng really doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going. He dares to come into close combat with me and now he must recognize the power of Ice True Qi—but it’s too late now."

He was well aware of the formidable nature of Ice True Qi, having conducted many experiments wherein Ice True Qi would instantly freeze everything it touched. Once, he whimsically let loose a punch imbued with Ice True Qi at a passing bird, turning it instantly into an ice sculpture. This demonstrated the terrifying power of Ice True Qi.

Now, it was obvious that Lin Feng’s hands had been frostbitten by his Ice True Qi. Despite Lin Feng being a formidable fighter, this unexpected setback was a source of immense joy for Li Zerui. The battle hadn’t even properly begun, and Lin Feng’s hands were already damaged—what hope did he have of fighting back? Tormenting Lin Feng to death seemed like an incredibly easy task now.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He had waited far too long for this day—to torture Lin Feng to death. His wish was about to come true; how could he not be overjoyed? Unable to contain his exhilaration any longer, he let out a boisterous laugh that echoed from the peak of the mountain down to the wedding site on the mountainside.

Upon hearing this, everyone at the wedding venue tensed up. Though they couldn’t see what was happening, Li Zerui’s voice was crystal clear to them. The guests from Tianhai’s side felt their hearts pounding once again. They were utterly disheartened. Hearing that Lin Feng’s hands were incapacitated, they were extremely anxious. If Lin Feng truly was no match for Li Zerui, what would become of them? Some began to sweat profusely and fidget like ants on a hot pan, utterly clueless on what to do.

On the other hand, Lin Feng’s allies were unperturbed by Li Zerui’s words; they had faith in Lin Feng. If he suffered a setback so easily, he wouldn’t be Lin Feng. They all squinted towards the mountain’s peak, eager to see how Lin Feng would handle Li Zerui. Although their vision was unclear, they couldn’t help but keep a watchful eye on the summit.

The Old Monster and many other masters nearly laughed when they heard Li Zerui’s boast. They thought to themselves, "How has Li Zerui become so arrogant? How could he believe Ice True Qi alone could harm Lin Feng? That’s simply impossible. Has Li Zerui lost his mind to utter such a nonsense claim?" Still, they remained vigilant, knowing that Lin Feng and Li Zerui were about to engage in earnest; they had to ensure the safety of the guests.

Although several kilometers separated them from the mountaintop, given the prowess of Lin Feng and Li Zerui, anything could happen when they truly clashed. If a Sword Gang or Fist Aura came hurtling their way, they would have to intercept it at all costs. Considering this possibility, the Old Monster, Nangong He, and other masters exchanged signals, readying their spells. True Qi radiated from them, poised to react to any emergency.

Lin Feng watched Li Zerui’s self-assured laughter and was speechless. How could his cold Qi possibly frostbite him? What was going on in Li Zerui’s head to come up with such an idea? Was Li Zerui’s brain really malfunctioning? Otherwise, such remarks would have never been made.

"Idiot, you think Ice True Qi alone can frostbite me? Are you brain-damaged? Watch this!" Lin Feng said indifferently to Li Zerui, then suddenly, True Qi on his body turned into a fiery blaze. In an instant, Lin Feng converted all his True Qi into Fire Element True Qi. There was a clear intention behind his action; Li Zerui’s Ice True Qi was indeed formidable, but only Old Monster’s Fire Element True Qi could contend against it, and mitigate the impact of the Ice True Qi as much as possible.

Instantly, Lin Feng seemed to be an avatar of the fire god, engulfed in flames. The Fire Element True Qi enveloped him as if it were a burning inferno. Lin Feng’s hands, which had been initially frozen, returned to normal at the outburst of the Fire Element True Qi. Amidst the flames, he casually made a thumbs-down gesture toward Li Zerui, indicating that he was unaffected while also taunting him.

"What... what! You can use Fire Element True Qi too? What’s your connection with the Old Monster?"

Li Zerui was dumbfounded by Lin Feng’s sudden transformation. In the Cultivation World, only the Old Monster was known for Fire Element True Qi—it was his hallmark, an undisputed fact. But he hadn’t expected to witness this same Fire Element True Qi in Lin Feng. How could Li Zerui not be surprised? He couldn’t help but speculate secretly, wondering if Lin Feng was the Old Monster’s disciple. Otherwise, how could Lin Feng possess such Fire Element True Qi?

But soon after, Li Zerui realized something—that Lin Feng had defeated the ancestors, so how could he possibly be the Old Monster’s disciple? That was not at all likely. Then... what was going on? Li Zerui watched Lin Feng, who seemed like the fire god incarnate, flooded with amazement and questions, unable to comprehend how Lin Feng was capable of such Fire Element True Qi. It seemed utterly impossible.
