Chapter 16: Severely Injuring Dugu Yan
"These sea pirates, murdering like hemp, such incidents happen all the time."
Sikong Zhaiyue sighed.
He lived in the Kingdom of Aolai.
The Kingdom of Aolai bordered the East Sea.
Hence, he had heard a thing or two about the matters in the East Sea.
"Set this boat ablaze and give them a sea burial."
Lin Feng said.
In this world, though it was customary for the dead to be buried in the earth for peace,
that was for the people on land.
Those who lived in the sea usually chose a sea burial.
Sikong Zhaiyue nodded and set the fishing vessel on fire with Lin Feng.
The flames roared fiercely.
More than twenty bodies were set ablaze.
Lin Feng and Sikong Zhaiyue watched as the fishing vessel eventually burned to a skeleton
and then plummeted into the vast sea.
Sikong Zhaiyue understood Lin Feng very well.
He knew that Lin Feng always had the heart of an Ancient Road Heroic Heart.
Having just witnessed the tragic death of these innocent people,
he was certain that Lin Feng now harbored a killing intent for Dugu Yan.
"Let's get going."
Lin Feng said.
Sikong Zhaiyue nodded, following closely behind Lin Feng as they flew towards the depths.
Three days later, as they passed by an island, they smelled blood in the air.
"Quick, go check out what happened."
Lin Feng's expression darkened slightly as he spoke without delay.
He and Sikong Zhaiyue rushed swiftly towards the island.
Upon arriving, they discovered that it had turned into a river of blood.
"Ha-ha, the haul from this island isn't bad."
Laughter echoed.
From within a village deep on the island,
a cultivator emerged from a cave.
The cave was clearly a storage facility built by the island residents.
All the valuable things on the island were stored inside.
"Dugu Yan, it's him again."
Seeing the person laughing wildly, Lin Feng's expression suddenly darkened.
"This guy is ranked seventy-fourth on the bounty list, truly cruel and merciless, killing without blinking an eye, what do we do now?"
Sikong Zhaiyue asked.
"Naturally, we kill this person. Not only will it rid the people of a menace, but we'll also get the five hundred million bounty!"
Lin Feng's expression was indifferent.
He looked at Sikong Zhaiyue and said, "This person's cultivation is probably very fearsome, it may be a bit troublesome to deal with him. I'll go out and take him on first while you hide. Be ready to support me at any moment and deliver a fatal blow."
"Alright..."
Sikong Zhaiyue nodded, he and Lin Feng had cooperated more than once or twice.
Their understanding of each other was perfect.
Lin Feng did not linger and headed straight for Dugu Yan.
"Kid, it's you..."
Dugu Yan saw the suddenly appearing Lin Feng and a grim killing intent immediately surfaced on his face.
Lin Feng had stolen the essence of the Netherworld Demon Shark from him.
This matter had caused Dugu Yan to grind his teeth in hatred.
Dugu Yan dreamt of encountering Lin Feng again,
and skin him alive to ease his hatred.
It's just that there had been no news of Lin Feng for many days.
But Dugu Yan had never expected
that he would encounter Lin Feng here today.
Lin Feng let out a cold laugh, "Dugu Yan, I'm taking your life today."
"Brat, you dare to be so brazen in front of me?"
Dugu Yan sneered coldly.
"Whether it's brazen or not, you'll know once we start."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Feng charged at Dugu Yan.
Sky Splitting!
Heavenly Sword Intent!
Without any reservations, he performed Sword and Saber Merge, slashing at Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan, being ranked seventy-fourth on the bounty list,
meant he was undoubtedly a very formidable figure.
"Ignorant fool."
Dugu Yan wore a look of disdain.
He swung a punch,
and a blood-colored energy beast pounced forward.
Bang...
The blood-colored energy beast collided with the blade light and Sword Qi condensed by Lin Feng.
Shocking waves of terrifying energy surged out.
Soon after, the blood-colored energy beast shattered Lin Feng's attack.
"Yin Yang Realm Fourth Layer."
Lin Feng frowned slightly.
"Kid, that's right, am I not powerful enough to chop you down?" Lin Feng sneered continuously.
Bang.
With the Domineering Heaven Thunder Technique unleashed, Lin Feng resolved Dugu Yan's powerful attack using the Domineering Heaven Thunder Technique.
At that moment, Dugu Yan was already charging toward Lin Feng, his face a mask of cruel smiles.
He looked at Lin Feng indifferently and coldly, "Kid, do you think that someone with a bounty of 500 million is a mere shadow without substance? Today, you'll witness my true power."
As his words fell, Dugu Yan reached straight for Lin Feng's chest.
An endless surge of black mist churned out, and within it, a pitch-black claw materialized.
Claw of the Death God.
The claw swiftly reached out.
Lin Feng immediately felt that this Claw of the Death God was emitting an aura that made one's heart throb with fear.
It was as if the Death God himself had descended.
Dugu Yan's cultivation was indeed formidable.
With the cultivation of the Yin Yang Realm Fourth Layer Heaven, even Lin Feng would find it quite troublesome to deal with.
However, this did not mean that Lin Feng was unable to contend.
"Boom."
Astonishing fluctuations emanated from within Lin Feng's Dantian.
Five Devouring Martial Souls instantly unified.
The Forbidden Magnetic Field enveloped the area of ten meters around Lin Feng.
Under the ultimate form of the Martial Soul Unification,
Dugu Yan, who was enveloped within the Forbidden Magnetic Field, was also greatly restricted.
His speed rapidly decreased.
"What a strange Martial Soul, it can actually restrict my speed, but do you think this will allow you to escape this calamity?" Lin Feng sneered continuously.
The aura within his body became more and more terrifying.
As the horrendous aura within him spread out,
Dugu Yan's speed increased significantly.
Clearly, the powerful aura emitted by Dugu Yan neutralized the confining power of the Forbidden Magnetic Field.
"Swoosh."
Just at this moment, Sikong Zhaiyue, who was hiding in the darkness, had already silently lurked behind Dugu Yan.
At the same time,
Lin Feng was also fermenting the "annihilating" word, preparing to attack Dugu Yan.
"Star-picking Hand."
Sikong Zhaiyue brought his palm down to kill Dugu Yan.
This was a secret technique passed down in the Sikong Family, with extremely potent force.
"Not good, an ambush."
Dugu Yan's expression suddenly changed.
Although he did not see Sikong Zhaiyue because he was facing away,
his keen sense of danger alerted him to the looming threat immediately.
Swoosh.
Dugu Yan struck back with a palm.
With a loud bang, he clashed with Sikong Zhaiyue, blow for blow.
Then Dugu Yan's body retreated swiftly using the force of the collision.
Dugu Yan wanted to escape the encirclement of Lin Feng and Sikong Zhaiyue with this move.
Had his opponent been someone else, Dugu Yan might have succeeded.
But his adversary was Lin Feng.
As Dugu Yan swiftly retreated, Lin Feng had already made his move.
Shrinking Ground.
Swoosh.
In a flash of light, Lin Feng had already appeared in front of Dugu Yan.
The "annihilating" word.
Struck with a mighty blow.
"You..."
Dugu Yan's face paled instantly.
He hadn't expected Lin Feng's speed to be so fast.
So fast that he already had no time to make an adequate counterattack.
Dugu Yan tried to use Iron Chain Cross River, placing his arms in front to block, hoping to hold off Lin Feng's strike.
But Lin Feng's "annihilating" word was too powerful.
It struck Dugu Yan fiercely.
Bang...
Dugu Yan's body exploded into pieces.
"Ah, kid, you have destroyed my physical body, I will not let you go," an angry curse echoed.
A wisp of black mist rushed toward the sky, speeding off into the distance.
That cursing voice came from within the black mist.
"Ghost Cultivator, this Dugu Yan turned out to be a Ghost Cultivator; even in death, the spirit remains!" Lin Feng's expression showed a slight change.
Having encountered Ghost Cultivators before, he knew how tricky their methods could be, and understood that he absolutely could not let Dugu Yan escape.
Otherwise, the man would be able to quickly recover using the Ghost Cultivator's bizarre techniques.
"Quick, chase..." Lin Feng whispered in a shout.
He and Sikong Zhaiyue together,
soared into the sky.
They pursued the escaping spirit of Dugu Yan with great speed.
