CHAPTER 697: CHAPTER 554

The Array shattered, and everyone inside the Foundation Establishment Hall rushed out.

But the Imperial Palace was quickly surrounded, and no one could escape the catastrophe.

Qing Pingzi, Emperor Huben, and an Elder of the Royal Family, were all Earth Martial Artists, who had a chance to escape at the moment the Array broke, but they did not abandon everyone and flee alone.

In the entire Imperial Palace, besides these hundreds of top experts, there were tens of thousands more people, a great number of Royal Family and Lin Family youngsters. If they left, the rest could only be slaughtered.

The arrival of the Demon Hunter was also immediately noticed by many from the Lin Family.

Every Lin Family member’s eyes widened with disbelief.

Because this Demon Hunter was all too familiar to them, it was Li Feng, who had lived with the Lin Family for quite some time.

Lin Hong and others, though hidden within the walls of the Imperial Palace, had also heard many discussions among the Royal Family about this Demon Hunter.

They could never have imagined that this powerful Demon Hunter was actually Li Feng.

After all, Li Feng’s Dantian had been previously ruined, and even if it was later healed, it surely couldn’t be possible for him to reach such heights in merely half a year.

Half a year ago, Li Feng had also entered the Imperial Palace with the Lin Family members but left after only a few days and never returned.

Yet in just a short period of six months, Li Feng had grown to such an extent!

Especially for the younger Lin Family members, Li Feng was previously a cripple, always residing within the Lin Family. Although no one said anything due to Lin Feng’s relations, no one took the initiative to befriend him, for who would befriend a cripple.

But now, they couldn’t help but be stunned; Li Feng was actually the Demon Hunter, this had to be a joke!

Outside of the Imperial Palace.

Elder Blood Yu launched an attack, and a massive blood-colored claw swooped down on Li Feng.

The formidable might of the blood-colored claw was shocking, capable of shaking heaven and earth. Even a regular Earth Martial Master of the Second Layer couldn’t withstand this claw.

"Split!"

With a light shout, Li Feng flipped the giant blade in his hand, striking out fiercely.

There was no fluctuation of power, no dazzling light, this strike was pure and absolute strength, as immovable as a mountain.

Boom!

A loud explosion shocked the heavens and earth, and the blood-colored claw was directly cleaved by Li Feng’s blade, scattering tumultuous blood-red energy waves in all directions.

Whoosh!

After one strike, Li Feng was immediately sent recoiling a hundred yards, even causing the walls of the Imperial Palace courtyard to collapse.

"He’s not dead!"

Elder Blood Yu was surprised one strike didn’t kill Li Feng. A month ago, the opponent had only the strength of the Peak of the True Spirit Realm; in the span of one month, he reached close to the strength of a Martial Master Third Layer?

Elder Blood Yu was astonished; the speed of this strength improvement was too fast!

What kind of Body Refining Techniques did this person cultivate?

"You can’t kill me!"

Li Feng spoke with an icy demeanor, although he was repelled, he was completely uninjured. The Wanxiang Divine Skill not only gave him tremendous strength but also endowed him with an incredible defensive power.

However, Li Feng still sighed inwardly. Despite his rapid rise in strength and his focus on growing stronger quickly, even forsaking his True Qi Cultivation to wholly devote himself to Body Refinement,

now he was very strong, but still somewhat inferior to his opponent.

But even if he knew he was no match, he could not stand idly by while members of the Lin Family were in danger today.

Lin Feng had shown him great kindness, a debt of gratitude as significant as the sky, having lived in the Lin Family for over a year, he already saw the Lin Family members as his own.

Even if it meant death, he would not leave today.

"Can’t kill you?"

Elder Blood Yu coldly chuckled and said, "It’s just the beginning. The power of a Martial Master Third Layer is beyond your imagination!"

Whoosh!

As soon as the words fell, Elder Blood Yu’s figure flashed like lightning, shooting towards Li Feng.

"Blood Soul Claw!"

With a roaring shout, Elder Blood Yu made another move, the huge blood-colored claw creating a whistling wind, the surrounding air continuously shattering as it shot towards Li Feng at lightning speed.

This blood-colored claw was extremely terrifying, its five fingers like Sharp Swords, stretching dozens of yards, enough to pierce through a small mountain with a single claw.

"Annihilate!"

Even if his strength was less than Elder Blood Yu’s, Li Feng did not retreat, his feet dug in as he surged forth like an arrow, directly facing the blood-colored claw head-on.

Swoosh!

The giant blade slashed out, its powerful force splitting the sky and earth, the huge blood-colored claw ripped apart by his blade.

Hmph!

The immense force of the backlash caused Li Feng to grunt, retreating another hundred yards.

"Die!"

Elder Blood Yu no longer gave Li Feng a chance, both claws unleashed, with waves of blood-colored shadows exploding through the Void, overwhelming as they surged towards Li Feng.

Li Feng stood on the ground, his expression extremely solemn. As the sky filled with claws appeared imminent, he immediately placed the oval shield, taller than a man, onto the ground.

Thud!

The ground shook, cracks appeared instantly. It was unknown what material this oval shield was made of, but its weight was astoundingly heavy.

The oval shield completely covered Li Feng’s figure, forming an impenetrable wall of defense.

In the next instant, the sky filled with blood-colored claws fiercely struck upon the oval shield.

Boom boom boom!!!

The tremendous noise was deafening, the earth quaked as endless bricks and stones flew about, the ground instantly revealed a large pit tens of yards across.

Li Feng’s figure was again thrown into the air, flying over a thousand yards, crashing through wall after wall, directly into the midst of the Imperial Palace, landing in front of the Lin Family, the Royal Family, and other people.

Thud!

As Li Feng fell, he slapped the ground with his blade, rebounding immediately.

"Li Feng!" Lin Hong urgently called out, immediately flying towards Li Feng.
