On the challenge stage.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Shun and the others weren't the only ones who received the news. King Lu, Huang Lu, and the other experts who had advanced to the final round had all arrived. Although the people who came later were confused by the 'balance' in front of them, they wouldn't forcefully take the lead and get involved in this mess.
After all, no Saint was an idiot.
Not to mention Shun, this Human Demon Holy Lord had a fierce reputation and was a temperamental person.
Time passed second by second.
With Shun in the lead, the group stood as still as Mount Tai. Their gazes landed on the challenge stage, which made Sacred Lord Human Demon impatient. Although he was chatting with Lam Tok Tei, he was paying attention to the changes in the situation around him. His expression kept changing.
"Hey, Shun. Since no one is coming up, let's just end it like this," Sacred Lord Human Demon said disdainfully. "Stop wasting time."
"Senior, there's no need to be impatient. There's still three hours," Shun said with a smile.
"Tsk." Sacred Lord Human Demon spat out a mouthful of phlegm in disdain. His expression was extremely insulting. The surrounding Sacred Lords' expressions changed slightly. Normally, they were all high and mighty, but no one dared to provoke this peerless demon. As the saying goes, the bird that sticks out will be shot. There was no need to be brave.
Time slowly passed in this tense atmosphere.
Soon, there were only two hours left.
Sacred Lord Human Demon mumbled as he glanced at the compass. The other Saints weren't the only ones who were worried. He also felt uneasy. Shun's calmness made it seem like he had some trump card that he hadn't used yet. His calm expression made it seem like victory was already in his hands.
It was very uncomfortable!
"Could it be … that old fellow Heavenly Secret is playing tricks again?" Sacred Lord Human Demon's small eyes rolled around.
The person he feared the most was the Heavenly Secret Sacred Lord.
The Heavenly Secret Saint Sovereign had been restrained time and time again. He had long become a shadow of fear in his heart.
Just as he was wondering, suddenly —
"Oh?" Sacred Lord Human Demon was slightly startled. He turned his head and looked into the distance. His eyes flashed. The moment he turned his head, Shun, King Yan, and the others also turned their heads with curious expressions.
The aura of the newcomer was so familiar!
Only Lam Tok Tei had a ferocious look on his face.
It's him!
…
"Whoosh!" Lin Feng sped forward.
From afar, he could already see the huge challenge stage and the extremely powerful aura above it.
However, there was only one person!
"It's alright." "It's not good either." Lin Feng was both happy and helpless.
The good news was that Lady Nangong's words did not appear. There was no battle taking place on the Challenge Stage. He still had enough time and opportunity to fight for the final chance to advance. However, what made him helpless was that he was very clear about that extremely huge aura and was even more familiar with it. This was already the second time he had encountered it.
"Hua!" Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he was tempted.
It was equally powerful and equally terrifying. Not long ago, he had almost died to this terrifying aura. If Shui Youmei hadn't saved him, he would have died.
And now, it had appeared before his eyes once again!
The only difference was that he no longer felt afraid.
"Sure enough, my strength has increased a lot." Lin Feng muttered.
In fact, his thoughts were very complicated when he came to the Challenge Stage. He didn't want to meet the Human Demon Holy Lord, but he also wanted to see him again. However, there was no need to think too much about it. In the end, reality would not change because of his thoughts. The Human Demon Holy Lord was close at hand!
"Early Saint King Realm?" Lin Feng's brow furrowed as his eyes lit up.
"No, it might be Intermediate Saint King Realm."
With his current strength, he was still unable to determine the strength of a Saint King Realm through aura. He could only 'estimate'.
He could only estimate based on the strength of the aura.
In the Ancient Race, the Human Demon Holy Lord's aura should be equivalent to Early Saint King Realm. However, the Ancient Race's powerhouses were generally one level higher than human powerhouses. In other words, the Human Demon Holy Lord was very likely to be Intermediate Saint King Realm. However, no matter what, his true strength would not change.
"According to Mother, my current strength is at the peak of the Saint King Realm. However, it is comparable to Early Saint King Realm."
"Early Saint King Realm of the Ancient Race."
Lin Feng's expression was calm. He slowly came to a stop and floated in the air.
If not for this, he wouldn't have come here with full confidence to face the Human Demon Holy Lord. Perhaps their strengths were about the same. The Human Demon Holy Lord was very experienced, but he was young and strong. He had trump cards, but so did I.
Victory or defeat was fifty-fifty!
His heart was inexplicably calm. He didn't feel any acceleration.
He didn't fear the Human Demon Holy Lord.
…
"Lin Feng!" Lin Feng clenched his teeth, his eyes shining with cold light.
"Oh?" Killing intent flashed in the Human Demon Holy Lord's eyes. Looking at Lin Feng in the air, he clenched his hands into claws and snapped his fingers. His blood boiled inexplicably and his fighting spirit surged. Even the Human Demon Holy Lord himself was shocked.
"This brat …" The Human Demon Holy Lord's expression turned serious.
Among the crowd, only Shun had a faint smile on his face. The others were mostly shocked and curious. Although King Yan and King Lu recognized Lin Feng, they didn't care too much. After all, Lin Feng's arrival didn't mean anything and couldn't change anything.
"Who is this young man?"
"Yeah, why haven't I seen him before?"
"This is also my first time seeing him. He looks unfamiliar. He should be a newly risen Saint."
…
Everyone discussed animatedly, feeling rather curious.
However, they couldn't be blamed. Most Saints lived in seclusion and cultivated all year round. It was normal for them to go into seclusion for ten to twenty years. Lin Feng wasn't even thirty yet. When many Saints went into seclusion last time, Lin Feng wasn't even born yet!
Moreover, Lin Feng had only risen in the past two years. Most people had only heard of his name but had never seen him.
It was normal that they didn't know him.
…
"I'm here." Lin Feng landed in front of Emperor Shun. Their eyes met.
"I thought you wouldn't come." Emperor Shun smiled faintly.
"Since I promised, I will do it." Lin Feng nodded slowly without any hesitation. Today, even if he wasn't confident enough to deal with the Human Demon Holy Lord, he had promised Emperor Shun and the Heavenly Secret Sacred Lord.
After all, he owed the Heavenly Secret Sacred Lord more than just his life!
Emperor Shun's eyes twinkled. "You've improved a lot since we last met."
The title of Eldest Senior Brother wasn't undeserved. Emperor Shun's strength was probably unmatched except for the Human Demon Holy Lord.
He could feel Lin Feng's strength.
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded with a smile. "I've gained a lot from this trip to the Ancient Southern Region."
Emperor Shun's eyes flashed. "Are you confident?"
Lin Feng shook his head, which disappointed Shun. However, Lin Feng turned his head and glanced at the Human Demon Saint before looking back at Shun. His expression was filled with confidence. "But he isn't sure either." His expression was calm, but his words were earth-shattering. Not only did Shun's eyes light up, but the expressions of the Yan Emperor and the Ju Emperor also changed.
Especially King Ju. This was the first time he had seen Lin Feng.
"Shameless boasting," King Ju scoffed, his voice filled with disdain.
King Yan hesitated and looked at Shun without saying anything. At this moment, King Lu came over with a smile. He was very familiar with Lin Feng.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin, you're finally back." King Lu smiled.
"Yes, I was afraid I wouldn't make it." Lin Feng looked at King Lu with a smile.
Although he knew that King Lu was ambitious, it had nothing to do with him. It was normal for him to want the position of Emperor Shun. Most importantly, one shouldn't hit a smiling person. Whether King Lu did it on purpose or sincerely, he had helped him a lot. There was no harm in befriending him.
"Couldn't make it?" King Lu was stunned.
"Yes." Lin Feng smiled. "I rushed back to participate in the Imperial Throne Competition."
Boom! It was as if a bolt from the blue had struck down in an instant.
Although the sound wasn't loud, all the martial artists present heard it clearly. Their expressions changed. Especially King Lu, who was close by. He widened his eyes and rubbed his ears, afraid that he had misheard. The atmosphere suddenly became very quiet. Suddenly —
"Boom!" The long silent atmosphere was ignited.
"Did I hear it wrong?"
"This little guy wants to challenge the Human Demon Holy Lord?"
"He doesn't know what he's talking about. Is he crazy? That's a Holy King!"
"Newborn calves aren't afraid of tigers. Their courage is commendable."
…
Everyone's discussion rose like a surging wave.
However, almost all of them were mocking Lin Feng. They only thought that Lin Feng was boasting shamelessly.
King Ju shook his head in disbelief. He didn't even bother to look at Lin Feng. Even Huang Lu, who had already advanced to the next level, had an amused expression on his face. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, waiting for the joke to start. King Lu and King Yan were both stunned.
Only the Shun Emperor's expression did not change in the slightest.
He knew Lin Feng very well.
…
"Haha!" "Hahahaha!" The Human Demon Holy Lord laughed and clapped his hands.
Lam Tok Tei's eyes flashed coldly. He stared at Lin Feng like a vicious wolf, as if he wanted to see through him.
"Is it that funny?" Lin Feng looked at the Human Demon Holy Lord and smiled.
His calm words made the Human Demon Holy Lord feel like he was acting in a one-man show.
The laughter slowly faded. The Human Demon Holy Lord looked at Lin Feng coldly. "Little guy, do you know who I am?"
"Is that important?" Lin Feng's voice was calm. He stood below the stage and stared straight at the Human Demon Holy Lord without any fear.
His calm words were full of provocation, causing the Human Demon Holy Lord's killing intent to burst out.
"It's not important." The Human Demon Holy Lord's eyes flashed with a cold glint. "But I advise you to think clearly. Like the trash around you, you can still keep your dog life. But if you come up …" His words were filled with mockery. The faces of the surrounding Saints alternated between green and white. They were extremely embarrassed, but Lin Feng remained indifferent.
Provocation!
The Human Demon Holy Lord clearly wanted to provoke him to go up and kill him as an example.
However, this was exactly why he had come.
Stomp! Lin Feng instantly jumped off the ground and landed on the stage like a swallow under hundreds of shocked gazes. He didn't reveal any emotion on his face as he calmly looked at the Human Demon Holy Lord and slowly said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Come, let's fight!"
