CHAPTER 455: CHAPTER 428: DARK HORSE SHOWDOWN_2

"Break!"

A flash of sword light, Lin Feng’s strike was straightforward and unadorned, slashing directly at the petals.

Boom!

An explosive sound rang out, and the petals burst suddenly, powerful energy shooting in all directions.

"Destructive Red Lotus!"

The Ninth Princess knew that ordinary attacks would definitely not phaze Lin Feng; after the first strike, she unleashed her ultimate skill.

Her jade hand waved, and True Yuan surged, instantly forming a delicate pale red lotus.

The pale red lotus, worthy of the name Destructive Red Lotus, released a destructive aura upon its appearance.

Swoosh!

The Destructive Red Lotus tore through the air, striking towards Lin Feng like lightning, the air shattering in its wake, with a piercing howl.

This blow, the Destructive Red Lotus, was three times more powerful than when the Ninth Princess dueled Nie Chong.

Humming~~

The Spirit-Slaying Sword in Lin Feng’s hand trembled with a buzzing sound, a vast amount of True Yuan poured into the longsword, making it shine brilliantly.

"Split!"

With a light shout, the Spirit-Slaying Sword burst forth, its unrivalled sword light accompanied by a devastating force, fiercely striking the Destructive Red Lotus.

Rumbling!

The Destructive Red Lotus was instantly cleaved and exploded by the sword, terrifying powerful energy sweeping in all directions, Lin Feng retreated rapidly, not resisting the impact of the energy.

Lin Feng’s face became slightly grave, his heart quite shaken; the Ninth Princess’s cultivation was actually weaker than his, only at the Earth Martial Master Third Layer Peak, yet she possessed such formidable strength!

It should be known that along Lin Feng’s path of cultivation, the enemies he encountered were mostly fought through level surpassing, and within the same tier, there was basically no one who was a match for him with a single move.

And yet, the Ninth Princess, with cultivation a layer lower than his, was actually able to contend with him, how could this not alarm Lin Feng!

Unbeknownst to him, Lin Feng was not the only one shocked, the Ninth Princess herself was somewhat astonished at this moment.

Her talent was first-class in the Xuan Domain, and among the Martial Artists at the Earth Martial Master Fourth Layer, there were few who could be her opponent.

And those who could easily shatter the Destructive Red Lotus with one move were even rarer.

For instance, in her previous duel with Nie Chong, she didn’t unleash the full power of the Destructive Red Lotus.

This showed Lin Feng’s strength; even in the Xuan Domain, he would be considered a rare expert.

Of course, this was only among peers; the Xuan Domain was filled with geniuses, and there were many talents under the age of twenty-five with cultivation beyond Earth Martial Master Seventh Layer.

Swoosh!

After a fruitless strike, the Ninth Princess made her move again, waving both hands, and two Destructive Red Lotuses roared out, attacking Lin Feng from the left and right.

The two huge Destructive Red Lotuses pincer-attacked, leaving Lin Feng with no room to dodge.

"Explode for me again!"

Lin Feng shouted loudly, gripping the sword with both hands, the longsword swiftly slashed, two extremely sharp Sword Qis, like lightning, struck towards the two Destructive Red Lotuses.

The two sharp Sword Qis, like two meteors streaking across the sky dragging long tails, hit the Destructive Red Lotuses with a loud bang.

Boom, boom!

Another two explosions sounded, and the Destructive Red Lotuses burst in succession, the destructive powerful energy sweeping in all directions.

Lin Feng advanced instead of retreating, heading straight into the powerful energy towards the Ninth Princess.

"Supreme Limitless!"

A flash of sword light, and the unparalleled Sword Qi tore through the scattered powerful energy, striking directly at the Ninth Princess.

The Ninth Princess’s expression became more solemn, casting Green Lotus Guardian, petal after petal appearing around her body, quickly combining to form a magnificent giant Green Lotus.

The Green Lotus completely enveloped the Ninth Princess, forming a perfect defense.

The next moment.

The unparalleled Sword Qi fiercely struck the Green Lotus, with a loud noise, the Ninth Princess was knocked back a hundred meters, the giant Green Lotus around her trembled violently, but remained intact, without bursting.

"So strong?"

Lin Feng was shocked, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.

This Ninth Princess’s Green Lotus Guardian, its defensive power had reached a grotesquely strong level!

In the stands around, there was a stir; even Lin Feng couldn’t break through this Green Lotus Guardian, this kind of defense was truly invincible among peers.

From the direction of the Divine Wind Camp, everyone’s breath halted, their gaze fixed on the Battle Platform.

Lin Feng had come this far; of course, they hoped Lin Feng would defeat the Ninth Princess and ultimately challenge Ao Wushuang, even the Great Elder had some expectation in his heart.

However, seeing Lin Feng unable to break the Ninth Princess’s defense, everyone could not help but sigh silently.

It’s not that Lin Feng isn’t strong, it’s just that his opponent is too defying!

"Even if he can’t defeat the Ninth Princess, it doesn’t matter, Lin Feng’s third-place position is already secure!"

The Second Elder said with a smile.

"Hmm!"

Elder Wei nodded upon hearing this and said, "Third place is also very good! It’s an unprecedented honor for Sky Moon Country!"

Not far away, the people from Tianyuan Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect all had faces filled with astonishment; they couldn’t imagine, by any means, that Lin Feng could have come this far.

Now seeing that Lin Feng couldn’t break through the Ninth Princess’s defense, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

For them, naturally, they did not wish for Lin Feng to be too defiant; otherwise, it would not be good news for their two major sects.

As for Yun Jiankong from Heavenly Sword Sect and Xie Tianjue from Tianyuan Sect, they had been eliminated early, not even entering the top hundred, and were now out of the running for the Hundred Extremes List.

On the battle platform.

"You can’t break through my Green Lotus Guardian!"

The Ninth Princess steadied the tumultuous Qi-Blood within her and looked at Lin Feng, softly exclaiming.

The Ninth Princess was very confident in the defense of her Green Lotus Guardian; it was an ultimate skill inherently cultivated by her and was a Low Grade Level Six martial arts technique. As a defensive move of a Low Grade Level Six martial arts, its defensive power goes without saying.

"Is that so?"

Lin Feng let out a light chuckle and asked, "What if I do break through?"

"You can’t possibly break through!"

The Ninth Princess shook her head, very certain of this.

If it was Ao Wushuang, she might believe he could break through her defense, but Lin Feng definitely could not!

Lin Feng glanced at the white veil covering the opponent’s face and smiled, "How about we make a bet? If I break through, then you take off the veil covering your face!"

Lin Feng was somewhat curious; with such strong talent, what did this woman actually look like? Surely she couldn’t be some sort of monstrosity?

Otherwise, why wear a veil and not dare to show her face!

Of course, even if Lin Feng managed to break through her defense, he couldn’t demand anything from her. Suggesting she remove her veil was just a casual remark, and her appearance had nothing to do with him.

"This...!"

Upon hearing his words, the Ninth Princess hesitated, as she did not want to remove her veil.

However, remembering the defensive power of her Green Lotus Guardian, the Ninth Princess made up her mind and nodded, "If you can break my defense, I will remove the veil!"

Uh!

Lin Feng was startled, not expecting that she would actually agree to remove the veil.

Nevertheless, whether she agreed or not, he intended to defeat her with all his might.

"Since that’s the case, here I come!"

Lin Feng nodded and then his figure dashed forward like a flash of lightning toward his opponent.

Swoosh!!

Lin Feng moved with extreme speed, leaving a trail of afterimages in the void, and in the blink of an eye, he was close to the Ninth Princess, striking with his sword once again.

"Heaven and Earth Limitless!"

The heaven and earth split apart, and a terrifying Sword Qi surged out, slashing towards the Ninth Princess.

The Ninth Princess’s eyes sparkled brightly, vigorously stimulating the True Yuan within her body, her surrounding lotuses becoming even more resplendent and solid.

Of course, the Ninth Princess didn’t just stand there foolishly letting Lin Feng attack; she issued another Immortal Flower Slash to meet the oncoming Sword Qi.

The terrifying Sword Qi immediately tore through the Immortal Flower Slash, and then fiercely struck upon the Green Lotus surrounding the Ninth Princess.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the Green Lotus trembled, enveloping the Ninth Princess as she was sent flying hundreds of meters back, but the Green Lotus remained intact.

"Darn!"

Lin Feng’s eyes widened; he was truly stunned by the defense of this Green Lotus Guardian.

His attack was extremely powerful; since reaching the Fourth Level of the Silent Annihilation Heart Method, his True Yuan’s power had doubled, coupled with the robust True Yuan from the Nine Spirit Vortices and the strongest technique of the Great Success Infinite Sword Technique, he still couldn’t break through the Green Lotus Guardian.

Luckily, the opponent was only at the Earth Martial Master Third Layer; if she had been at the Earth Martial Master Fourth Layer, peers at the same level facing her wouldn’t need to bother fighting.

Because even if the Ninth Princess stood still and let you attack, you wouldn’t be able to hurt her in the slightest.

"I refuse to believe this!"

Lin Feng, incredulous, let out a fierce cry, and in an instant, his figure was in front of the Ninth Princess again, the Spirit-Slaying Sword raised high, radiating dazzling light.

Within Lin Feng’s body, a massive amount of True Yuan surged into the longsword, while at the same time, his entire body shone with a golden brilliance, and the physical strength provided by the Ancient Shield Dragon was fully unleashed.
