Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 688 - 213: Killing Wu Chunqiu

"I only need to strike out my strongest sword within two thousand kilometers. The released power can affect them, and by the time they realize it, escaping won’t be so easy. Discovering me is even more impossible."

"But doing this is full of loopholes, difficult to handle under Alliance scrutiny."

"No matter, as long as I can destroy Zhang Lingfeng, what harm is there in facing Alliance scrutiny? Given my Wu Family’s current status, the Alliance wouldn’t do anything to my Wu Family for a crippled Zhang Lingfeng. He only obtained an Alliance Three-star License, he’s not the Alliance Saint Son. Even if he’s killed, as long as there’s no substantial evidence, my Wu Family can manage."

Wu Chunqiu thought carefully and felt that if he didn’t take action now, how could the Wu Family continue to strengthen?

But considering the scrutiny of the Alliance, sometimes he needed to put on a show.

He contacted Wu Qingyun to release several Starry Sky Demon Insects raised by the family within the airship, used for exploring starry skies and detecting danger.

Moments later, a straight line formed between the Starry Sky Demon Insects and the location of Zhang Lingfeng’s group.

"A fine group of Starry Sky Demon Insects, eat my sword!"

Wu Chunqiu roared.

He used the bracelet instrument on his body to record the traces of the Starry Sky Demon Insects along with the sword light he struck out.

"What is that?"

"Starry Sky Demon Insects?"

"He’s finally making a move."

Ling Feng’s spiritual sense covered a range of five thousand kilometers, not just the thousand-plus kilometers Wu Chunqiu assumed for an injured person.

Wu Chunqiu’s every move was within Ling Feng’s perception.

Suddenly he saw Starry Sky Demon Insects appearing behind.

He became vigilant.

When he felt the terrifying sword strike of Wu Chunqiu, even at a distance of two thousand kilometers, with the opponent’s strength, that sword’s power released here was comparable to the peak strength of Qi Refining Realm, even rivaling some pseudo Foundation Establishment powerhouses.

"Not good, danger!"

Ling Feng shouted loudly.

He stirred the Ninth Grade Divine Thought, continuously channeling life force into Liu Feng and the others.

Under the enhancement of the All-weather Super Divine Telekinesis Evolution Ability, Ling Feng’s Divine Thought had advanced from Seventh Grade to Eighth Grade, and from Eighth Grade to Ninth Grade. Now, his Sea of Consciousness was subtly changing, as if evolving into Divine Soul, assisted by the All-weather Super Divine Telekinesis Evolution Ability.

Even Ling Feng himself hadn’t noticed this change.

"Wu Chunqiu!"

"Damn, he wants to kill and silence."

With Ling Feng’s Ninth Grade Divine Thought Power aiding them, Liu Feng and the other three Liu Family Foundation Establishment cultivators regained some strength, and their spiritual sense range quickly surpassed two thousand kilometers.

They swiftly saw those so-called Star Sky Demon Beasts in between and captured Wu Chunqiu’s sword with boundless killing intent.

"Quick, leave!"

Ling Feng quickly opened the bracelet.

Reporting their location to the Alliance and recording the situation before them.

However, when the sword’s power wave spread to the group, it took nearly ten seconds, and as the sword’s power reached within sight, Ling Feng swiftly withdrew his Divine Thought waves.

Directly taking Liu Feng away, hurriedly speeding towards Ancient Blue Star, simultaneously using the bracelet to record video footage of the other three Liu Family cultivators being shattered by Wu Chunqiu’s sword power.

"He’s not injured?"

Wu Chunqiu raged.

Who would’ve thought Ling Feng held back a trick, and his bracelet could still work? It seemed the opponent had already noticed him, just waiting for him to make a deadly strike and collect strong evidence.

"Wu Chunqiu, how dare you kill members of my Liu Family? They are also part of the Alliance, and you deserve a thousand deaths."

Liu Feng’s eyes filled with bloodshot veins and he roared angrily into the depths of the starry sky.

Encased in Ling Feng’s Divine Thought waves, like a shooting star, he headed towards Ancient Blue Star with astounding speed, much faster than his full-speed flight.

At this moment, he understood that their Liu Family had been used as cannon fodder by Ling Feng, and he survived only because he still had value. He could convey Wu Chunqiu’s deeds to the Alliance, to the Liu Family.

"Damn!"

Wu Chunqiu transformed into a rainbow, as if trying to tear through the starry sky, shooting towards Ling Feng with the fastest speed. Since his actions were exposed, he needn’t hold back any longer.

Being a decision-maker in the Wu Family, although Wu Chunqiu wasn’t a Golden Core expert, he was a legitimate Divine Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator. Above the Dao Platform, a Golden Core nascent was forming, touching Law Power.

With maximum effort, even Foundation Establishment of Earthly Dao couldn’t easily gain advantage, and with his accumulated strength over the years, even facing Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, he could hold his ground.

As the saying goes, "Evil thrives at the edge of courage."

If Ling Feng and Liu Feng hadn’t discovered him, he might have merely destroyed their Dao Platforms. But since concrete evidence was found, and he had to face Alliance scrutiny anyway, why not be thorough and kill both, then sever ties with the Wu Family?

Taking all responsibility upon himself, even if imprisoned by the Alliance for life, he must kill Ling Feng today.

"Not good, this old man is getting serious."

Ling Feng never anticipated Wu Chunqiu would go to extreme lengths, rushing towards him recklessly, intending to kill him on the spot.

"Three Autumn Leaves, Law, arise!"

At that moment, Wu Chunqiu’s speed suddenly surged over twice, nearly surpassing the Foundation Establishment limit, seeming to pierce through a thousand kilometers in an instant.

"What?"

Ling Feng was shocked.

Wu Chunqiu was too terrifying at this time.

Could this frightening speed be Law Power, surpassing Origin Power?

"Five Elements Symbol!"

At this moment, Ling Feng hesitated not at all, quickly forming the Five Elements Symbol, channeling all Origin Power, pressing towards Wu Chunqiu.

"Boom!"

Endless Origin Power, under the Five Elements Symbol’s enhancement, seemed to possess Law Power as well.

"Five Elements Symbol, could it be you?"

Wu Chunqiu’s eyes widened.

Ling Feng was merely a Fourth-Line Martial Arts Student from Ancient Blue Star, even as a Star Gate Disciple, he couldn’t grasp Symbolic Power, much less access the Five Elements Symbol.

Moreover, the Origin Power he casually invoked was so formidable, endless, flawless. Could Ling Feng’s Foundation Establishment Rank not be Divine Dao, but Immortal Dao, or even Heavenly Dao?

"Boom!"

Wu Chunqiu’s Law of Three Autumn Leaves was related to speed; at this moment, he hadn’t yet mastered attack and defense laws. Rushing at the fastest speed, he quickly collided with Ling Feng’s Five Elements Symbol.

No wonder for a seasoned Divine Dao Foundation Establishment powerhouse, also one of the Wu Family’s decision-makers, equipped with several defensive magical artifacts, he wasn’t shattered into blood mist like Xiang Pangyun, but became fragmented on the spot.

But even so.

Wu Chunqiu’s Dao Platform showed countless cracks, that nascent Golden Core even fragmented, his magical artifacts also wavered precariously, and his own Origin Power balance was instantly broken by Ling Feng.

His proud technique was also suppressed by the Five Elements Symbolic Power.

Wu Chunqiu felt that the accumulated Dao Practice of years was wiped out under Ling Feng’s schemes.

Had he clashed head-on with Ling Feng, it wouldn’t have been this miserable.

Alas, to kill Ling Feng, he stirred Speed Law of Three Autumn Leaves, rushing at Ling Feng with the fastest speed. At that moment, most of his power focused on the Speed Law.

If Ling Feng were only at Divine Dao Foundation Establishment like him, even if forming the Five Elements Symbol, he could handle it.

But he hadn’t expected Ling Feng to be a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment powerhouse, with flawless Origin Power. Under the Five Elements Symbol’s enhancement, the released power broke through all his defenses. Even protection from magical artifacts was futile.

"Boom!"

Moreover, what made him despair was Ling Feng’s decisiveness; either not acting or doing everything thoroughly.

Firing a Five Elements Symbol without waiting for him to use Law Power to escape, he then burned a Soul Suppressing Talisman, almost immobilizing him, followed by another Five Elements Symbol.

Endless Origin Power instantly engulfed him.
