Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 974 - 973: A World-Shocking Battle (Part 3)

Looking up at the summit, the peak several kilometers away had now formed a world where half was ice and the other half was scorched earth. This left even the S-level super powerhouses dumbfounded. The spectacle was far more exaggerated than the scene of Lin Feng’s battle with Li Deming; it was simply too inconceivable. Could this... could this really be Lin Feng’s true strength? Does this... does this kind of power still fall within the realm of cultivators?

They didn’t know, they truly didn’t know...

Atop the summit, an even more terrifying strike had shaken out a huge pit hundreds of meters in diameter, with Lin Feng and Li Zerui standing at opposite ends of the pit.

"Hahaha... Lin Feng, that’s all you’ve got? Thinking you can kill me is a pipe dream, hahaha..." Li Zerui laughed arrogantly. Although the last strike was terrifying, it hadn’t caused him much harm thanks to the protection of the Ice True Qi around his body. In the instant of the exchange, his front had already been covered with ice. Lin Feng’s fist had merely shattered the ice, without inflicting substantial damage. Now he had suffered only minor injuries, which couldn’t help but please Li Zerui.

Moreover, Li Zerui had felt that Lin Feng’s last strike was definitely the strongest he could muster because its power had genuinely surprised him. Had it not been for the Ice True Qi protecting his body, it was hard to say what his fate would’ve been under that terrifying power. But now, he was certain that Lin Feng couldn’t injure him, and that put him in an invincible position. What was there to worry about?

Furthermore, Lin Feng’s appearance was clearly worse off than his. Lin Feng’s clothes had been shattered in that instant, and his arms were completely frostbitten. It was evident that Li Zerui’s Ice True Qi had entered Lin Feng’s body. Lin Feng didn’t have the protection of ice, and he had surely been injured just now. With this, wouldn’t killing Lin Feng be a sure thing? How could Lin Feng, who had lost the use of his hands, possibly be his match? At this point, how could Li Zerui not burst into laughter?

"To call you an idiot is an understatement," Lin Feng said indifferently. It was true he had been at a disadvantage in that instant of the exchange, but he had done so intentionally. When he had battled with Li Deming last time, the Ice Elemental True Qi had given him some insights although he hadn’t fully grasped them. Just now, while forcing Li Zerui up to the summit and being eroded by Li Zerui’s Ice True Qi, Lin Feng had grown more familiar with this kind of Ice Elemental True Qi. So Lin Feng had decided to intentionally take that loss, allowing Li Zerui’s Ice True Qi to enter his body, all to better understand the essence of the Ice True Qi.

It must be said that Lin Feng was indeed bold and talented. No one else would dare to do such a thing in such a decisive battle. The risk involved was too high, and a slight misstep could cost one’s life. But Lin Feng was Lin Feng. The moment the Ice True Qi entered his body, all his previous confusion about Ice True Qi was resolved, and he had an epiphany on the true meaning of Ice True Qi at that very moment.

Watching Li Zerui laughing uncontrollably, Lin Feng really couldn’t be bothered to say much. With a thought, his True Qi surged out again, but this time, it was no longer fiery red; it had turned into the same Ice True Qi as Li Zerui. What was more exaggerated was that Lin Feng’s control over True Qi was far greater than Li Zerui’s. A dragon made of Ice True Qi appeared around Lin Feng, surrounding and continuously circling him...

"Wha... What! How is this possible, how can you have Ice True Qi!"

Li Zerui, who had been laughing wildly, was caught completely off guard by this development. He couldn’t have imagined that Lin Feng could also use Ice True Qi... how was this possible? Others might not distinguish it, but he knew all too well. The Ice True Qi around Lin Feng was so similar to his own, nearly identical. No matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn’t understand how Lin Feng could possibly know Ice True Qi. Didn’t he use the Old Monster’s Fire Element True Qi before? This... How could this be!

Looking at Lin Feng and the dragon of Ice True Qi around him, Li Zerui’s heart was struck with indescribable shock. He never dreamt of such a turn of events. This kind of Ice True Qi relied on the Nine Nether Breaking Sky Art combined with the Nine Nether Cold Pond for cultivation, and yet Lin Feng had mastered it now. This... was simply unbelievable; he wouldn’t have believed it if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes. Aside from him and the man in the black robe, no one else in the world should’ve been able to use this kind of Ice True Qi.

"Nothing is impossible; it’s just Ice True Qi after all. Now, let’s see just how powerful your Ice True Qi really is," Lin Feng said casually. Then his figure moved, and he disappeared from the spot. He didn’t want to talk anymore; he just wanted to finish Li Zerui off quickly. The exchange from before had been too powerful, and from the corner of his eye, he had noticed the crisis facing the wedding. If it hadn’t been for the Old Monster and the other experts protecting them, the result could have been disastrous. Therefore, for the safety of the guests below, Lin Feng decided to quickly find a way to kill Li Zerui, to prevent any danger from befalling the wedding. That was Lin Feng’s primary goal.

Having made up his mind, Lin Feng decided how to deal with Li Zerui. The Non-Life Style of the Fire Element had not affected Li Zerui at all, which showed that Li Zerui’s defensive power was extraordinarily strong. With that in mind, Lin Feng chose to use Li Zerui’s own Ice True Qi for another attempt, fighting fire with fire, or rather ice with ice in this case, to see what effect that might have. If it proved effective, then killing Li Zerui wouldn’t be too difficult.

At that thought, in an instant, Ice True Qi formed a layer of frost armor around Lin Feng’s body, while his fists, under his control, transformed into two dragon heads made of ice, emitting the furious roar of a giant dragon, as they charged toward Li Zerui. Even the air in the sky seemed to freeze at that moment. The momentum generated was far greater than the force of Li Zerui’s previous attack.

When Li Zerui saw Lin Feng vanish, how could he not know that Lin Feng had made another move? Without a second thought, he wrapped himself in Ice True Qi again, extending it several dozens of meters around him, enveloping himself within and standing on full alert for Lin Feng’s emergence.

Although he could no longer see Lin Feng, he wasn’t without countermeasures. The Ice True Qi barrier around him shielded him securely—if Lin Feng entered the domain of his Ice True Qi, he would sense it immediately. This move, one of the most powerful defensive techniques from the Nine Nether Breaking Sky Art, named Ice Domain, was perfect for countering enemies with extreme speed. Within the domain of the Ice True Qi, the presence of any enemy was readily detectable, which would allow him to gauge Lin Feng’s position. When that happened, the time would come to forcefully confront Lin Feng.

Li Zerui had no choice but to face Lin Feng head-on since Lin Feng’s speed was now beyond his observational capabilities—it was simply too fast. Even Li Zerui couldn’t make out Lin Feng’s precise figure at this point. Consequently, Li Zerui resorted to deploying his Ice Domain, as this was the only way for him to maintain an unbeatable position.

At this moment, Li Zerui was fully prepared, just waiting for Lin Feng to appear and land a lethal blow. For Lin Feng to play with Ice True Qi right in front of him felt as preposterous as flaunting a broadsword in front of Master Guan.

A misty dome formed around Li Zerui, the center of his Ice Domain, his shield against Lin Feng’s attacks. Within this domain, nothing could escape Li Zerui’s perception—exactly what he needed. If he could just seize one opportunity, Lin Feng would surely fall to his might!

No, behind!

At that moment, suddenly, there was a disturbance at his back. He sensed Lin Feng’s presence there and, without a word, he launched a Fist Aura attack. His fist emitted a deafening Dragon’s Chant and, with formidable might, surged toward Lin Feng as if intent on tearing him apart. Following that, Li Zerui charged toward Lin Feng, his arms, in this moment, transforming into even larger ice fists than before, indicating how seriously he was taking Lin Feng now.

In his heart, Li Zerui was still wrestling with the mystery of how Lin Feng could wield his Ice True Qi. It was profoundly puzzling, but he knew all too well how formidable Ice True Qi could be. Seeing Lin Feng attack him with Ice True Qi, he acted with the utmost caution, daring not to be careless. His Nine Nether Breaking Sky Art circulated rapidly to its limit, as he exerted his full strength in anticipation of testing whether Lin Feng truly had mastered Ice True Qi.

But just as he swung his fists, he was stunned to find Lin Feng had already left that position, causing Li Zerui’s heart to skip a beat as he realized something was wrong.

Sure enough, Lin Feng suddenly appeared behind Li Zerui, his fists charged with frightful power as he struck at Li Zerui’s back.

Li Zerui sensed Lin Feng’s position, but it was too late for him to turn and counter. Out of options, he could only condense Ice True Qi onto his back, forming a massive Ice Shield, while his feet powered up for a leap into the air, hoping to extricate himself from the perilous situation.

It had to be said, Li Zerui’s reaction was incredibly fast. Though he lacked Lin Feng’s speed, his reflexes allowed him to dodge Lin Feng’s punch, sending chills down his spine. He never expected Lin Feng’s speed to be so astonishing that even within his Ice Domain, his perception could barely keep up. Such velocity was truly inconceivable.

Lin Feng, too, hadn’t expected Li Zerui to react so swiftly, which thoroughly surprised him. Watching Li Zerui ascend, Lin Feng smiled faintly. Did Li Zerui really think he could escape so easily?

With that thought, Lin Feng’s figure flickered again, appearing directly above Li Zerui’s head, where he unleashed the Hegemonic Style of the Exclusive Supreme Fist without any hesitation. This move was a perfect fit for the situation. In the span of a breath, the air around Lin Feng completely solidified, as Ice True Qi encased him into a spherical shape, obscuring his form. All that was visible was a sphere emanating the chill of ice, plummeting from above Li Zerui’s head like a meteor of Ice Flame, carrying the might to annihilate everything in its path.
