Chapter 12 Blood Sacrifice
"Boom..."
A terrifying aura emanated from the distance, sweeping through heaven and earth. The energy fluctuations that spread out caused Lin Feng to feel an abnormal palpitation.
Lin Feng looked into the distance and immediately felt a shiver of alarm.
He saw that in the valley, dense sword lights crisscrossed and spread out, turning the area into a world of swords.
"So, it's the people from Divine Sword Manor."
Lin Feng frowned. He had not known who set the trap there, but now, seeing the skies darkened by the Sword Qi, he could guess.
Besides the people from Divine Sword Manor, who else could display such powerful swordsmanship?
Inside the valley, array patterns were interwoven. Over a hundred disciples from Divine Sword Manor displayed the formidable sword skill "Ten Thousand Swords God-Slaying Skill" belonging to Divine Sword Manor.
One after another, flying swords shot out, each capable of unleashing dense sword lights. The power was terrifying to a degree that stunned people.
"Divine Sword Manor's damned bastards, how dare you set up an ambush and sneak attack me?" A cultivator roared in anger, but in the next moment, he was slain by dozens of sword lights.
The valley had already turned into a river of blood.
Ye Xingchen's expression was indifferent. "If we don't kill you, how can we open the Ancient Cultivation Cave Mansion? Only by killing you and using your blood and essence as a sacrifice can we break the prohibition and open the Ancient Cultivation Cave Mansion."
This massacre had only just begun.
...
"Divine Sword Manor has really gone mad."
Lin Feng frowned; he could somewhat guess why Divine Sword Manor set up such a large array to ambush and kill so many cultivators.
There must indeed be an Ancient Cultivation Cave Mansion within that mountain range, wrapped by prohibitions. They likely wanted to use the blood and essence of a great number of cultivators as a sacrifice to break the prohibitions.
Lin Feng was a Spirit Array Master, so he had heard of such Sacrificial Techniques, but he did not know such sophisticated Sacrificial Techniques. Inside a top Great Force like Divine Sword Manor, it was certain there would be such powerful Sacrificial Techniques, and there was no doubt about it.
Although these Sacrificial Techniques were very useful, they were too malicious.
If they were outside, the people from Divine Sword Manor wouldn't dare to use them.
But inside the Thunder Blade Secret Realm.
This place was a world of survival of the fittest, recognized by the Great Forces as a place where killing was not prohibited.
Especially when the major sects sent their elite disciples into the Thunder Blade Secret Realm, it was to train these elite disciples.
Only by undergoing the baptism of life and death could these so-called genius disciples quickly grow and acquire the ability to stand on their own. Otherwise, they were doomed to fade away among the masses.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
Just then, three cultivators swept in from behind, quickly catching up to Lin Feng.
These three were no others but the ones Ye Xingchen had sent to hunt down Lin Feng, Luu Xiao and his two companions.
"Boy, stop!"
Luu Xiao barked coldly.
Lin Feng slightly furrowed his brows, turned to look at the three, and asked, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"
A disciple from Divine Sword Manor at Luu Xiao's side smirked viciously, "If we tell you to stop, you stop. Truly an absolute fool, you must have escaped from that valley, right? We're here today to take your life!"
The disciple from Divine Sword Manor, at the Fourth Level of Martial King Realm, sneered, leaped forward, and threw a punch toward Lin Feng.
These people were all elite disciples of Divine Sword Manor, with exceptional strength.
No wonder they plotted against so many cultivators.
With over a hundred disciples from Divine Sword Manor at the Martial King Realm, and a Dark Stage Spiritual Array Master providing support, unless they encountered a powerhouse of the Yin Yang Realm, nobody would be their match.
And the cultivator who stood before Lin Feng, at the Fourth Level of Martial King Realm, clearly did not take Lin Feng seriously. To him, extinguishing Lin Feng was as easy as crushing an ant—wasn't it just as simple to snuff out the life of a mere cultivator at the Martial General Realm?
Luu Xiao and another disciple from Divine Sword Manor watched Lin Feng with faces full of indifferent coldness, their eyes brimming with an eerie killing intent.
They didn't care who Lin Feng was at all.
In reality, within the Thunder Blade Secret Realm, so-called identities held no intimidating power.
The rule here was the survival of the fittest.
When the cultivator at the Martial King Realm Fourth Level Heaven charged towards Lin Feng, he caught sight of the cold smile tugging at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth—this man faintly sensed that something was amiss.
Why was this young man, on the brink of death, devoid of any expressions of panic or fear?
Could there be a trick up his sleeve?
The cultivator from Martial King Realm Fourth Level Heaven was full of confusion.
However, thinking of Lin Feng's cultivation level, he couldn't help but scoff. A mere Fourth Level of the Martial General Realm—what threat could that pose?
His punch was about to land on the young man in front of him.
Suddenly, the disciple from Divine Sword Manor only saw a flash of light, and the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his neck.
Then, a vast amount of blood sprayed out, and almost reflexively, he clutched at his neck, but the blood continued to gush forth unabated.
He couldn't comprehend how this seemingly weak individual before him could be so terrifying.
In the next instant, he lost all consciousness.
...
"Zhang Zi Yi, junior brother!"
Seeing Zhang Zi Yi instantly killed by Lin Feng, Luu Xiao and another person cried out in shock.
"You dare kill someone from Divine Sword Manor, you're courting death!"
A roar of anger resounded.
Luu Xiao and another disciple from Divine Sword Manor drew their treasure swords, wielding them as they executed the fearsome swordsmanship called "Ten Thousand Swords God-Slaying Skill." Hundreds of sword lights converged and rushed to annihilate Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked on indifferently, "This is the Thunder Blade Secret Realm, who cares which force you're from?"
Boom...
A twisted black hole surfaced on Lin Feng's body. As the dense waves of Sword Qi descended, all were devoured by the black hole.
"Senior brother, I remember now, this is Lin Feng, the one Elder Xingxuan from Star Cloud Pavilion wanted to kill," cried the other disciple from Divine Sword Manor, in terror.
"What? He is that Lin Feng?" Luu Xiao's face turned incredibly ugly. Since there had been many people around and they were far away, Luu Xiao had only seen a blurred silhouette of Lin Feng and couldn't make out his face, so it was normal not to recognize him. The disciple from Divine Sword Manor standing beside Luu Xiao had been closer to Lin Feng, so he had seen Lin Feng's features. Now, he remembered.
"This guy is the one who killed an executive of Star Cloud Pavilion."
With this thought, both of their complexions turned deathly pale.
"Sword Control Technique."
The two of them summoned their flying swords, stepping onto them as they transformed into streaks of light, fleeing into the distance.
"Sky Splitting."
Lin Feng muttered, waving his hand into the void.
A blade light flashed by.
Luu Xiao and the other disciple from Divine Sword Manor, who had already escaped several hundred meters, were pierced through the chest by the blade light. They were slain before they could even scream, their bodies falling from the sky.
