Lin Feng was slowly approaching the palace where the military students of the Celestial Academy lived.
At that moment, his hair was extremely messy and he had dark stains all over his clothes. He also didn’t smell too good because he was sitting in the intense heat for a long period of time, which was why people were not fond of approaching him in his current state.
But Lin Feng’s eyes were just as resplendent as before and still showed that profound unfathomable expression.
“Lin Feng!” Said a voice which was filled with excitement. Lin Feng raised his head and saw a smiling man coming towards him.
“Is there a problem?”” Asked Lin Feng. He didn’t remember having ever met that man before. He didn’t know him.
“No, I just thought that we could talk about cultivation together. How do you practice cultivation? You are so young yet you are so terrifyingly strong already.” Asked the man while smiling. Lin Feng slightly frowned but he immediately smiled.
“I just close my eyes.” Said Lin Feng while smiling.
“Huh?” That man’s eyes twinkled, he didn’t understand what Lin Feng meant.
“I close my eyes, this is my strategy when I practice cultivation.” Said Lin Feng with the same warm and friendly smile as before.
The man looked like he was lost in thought for a moment but immediately after, he nodded, smiled and said: “Alright.”
When he finished talking, he slowly closed his eyes.
But at the moment when he closed his eyes, a strong whistling sound pierced through his ears. That man, whose eyes were closed, suddenly violently rushed backwards, a monstrous pure Qi was flowing around his body. Such a technique was dazzling to behold.
People who were around started shaking. It was another cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer. Since when were there so many cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer? They could be seen everywhere.
“Die!” Said Lin Feng in a low voice. Deadly energy spread through the atmosphere. A sword immediately pierced the pure Qi and penetrated into the opponent’s chest.
The man opened his eyes, he was blankly staring at Lin Feng. He couldn’t believe his eyes.
“You… How did you know?” Asked the man with a husky voice. Dark-red blood was unceasingly flowing from his wound.
“You asked me to give you some advice but from the beginning to the end, you were not paying attention and just kept on the same fake smile on your face, don’t you think that it looked incredibly strange?” Said Lin Feng coldly and detached still holding the dagger. If that person had really been one of Lin Feng’s followers, he would have shown some excitement or confusion, he would have at least shown some type of emotion.
Instead, that person had a fake smile and his emotions did not change at all.
“You kill me by relying on something as unimportant as my facial expression?” said that man, who, as before, couldn’t believe it.
“Of course not, your smile looked extremely fake indeed but also, when we were talking, some deadly Qi targeted me from behind, it was very well hidden before that, but they slightly lost focus and released some deadly Qi, that, at least, gave me a reason to kill you.” Said Lin Feng sounding ice-cold. When he finished talking, in a flash, a brutal and oppressive energy appeared around his body.
Lin Feng’s sword slightly moved and scorching hot fire Qi attacked the opponent’s vital organs and blood vessels. At the same time, he abruptly turned around.
A spear which looked like a long dragon was rushing towards him, it was another cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer.
Lin Feng was wondering how it was possible that cultivators of the Xuan Qi Layer to keep appearing in groups to trap him. When he had only just broken through to the Ling Qi layer, he also considered cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer as gods. He even almost never had the occasion to meet cultivators of the Xuan Qi layer. After breaking through to the Xuan Qi layer, he would possibly meet more of them.
“You’re an assassin and you can’t even control your deadly Qi. As an assassin, you are doomed to remain a failure forever.”
Lin Feng abruptly moved back as he critiqued his assassin. It was precisely because of him releasing a small amount of deadly energy that Lin Feng had understood what was going on, otherwise, he wouldn’t have immediately attacked.
If he hadn’t attacked first, the opponent would have been able to attempt their trap. With one cultivator of the Xuan Qi layer attacking from the front while the other was attacking him from the back, the situation could have been fatal for Lin Feng.
