Chapter 206: If You Want To Act Cocky, Be Prepared To Be Struck By Lightning
Elder Huang looked at Lin Fengmian and laughed, “Young man, life is full of unexpected encounters. We met again.”
Luo Xue said somewhat dejectedly, “I didn’t expect even the Soul Separation Pill to be tampered with. These guys are really impossible to guard against.”
Even though she had profound cultivation, she had little experience with such devious methods.
Lin Fengmian smiled with a hint of mockery, “Senior has been following me all this way. Could it be that some fairy has taken a fancy to me?”
“Or maybe you want to borrow something from me like that fairy did?”
Elder Huang coughed and laughed, “I have no evil intentions. I just want to buy a few more Green Spirit Pills from you.”
Lin Fengmian said with interest, “Buy or steal?”
Before Elder Huang could answer, Guan Ming standing behind him coldly said, “Huh, you talk like that after we saved your life?”
Ye Ling also chuckled, “You don’t think we interfered in something that was none of our business, do you? I wonder how many Green Spirit Pills your life is worth?”
At this moment, the medicinal power in Lin Fengmian had fully taken effect. He successfully transformed his Dan into an infant and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
He proudly said, “My life is priceless, but unfortunately, you interfered in something that wasn’t your business.”
Ye Ling did not expect him to be so shameless and sneered, “A shameless person is invincible in the world!”
Lin Fengmian slowly stood up and extended his hand, causing a hidden array disk to rise from the ground and be held in his palm.
At the same time, the hidden flags around them flew back and landed in the array disk in his hand.
Hanging from the flags were small spheres that glowed with lightning and emitted terrifying waves of power. The sheer power was obvious.
“Thunderball?”
Zuo Yueting, who was experienced in many things, saw the orbs and couldn’t help but feel a chill. If she had entered the array just now, she would have been seriously injured, if not killed.
Jun Yunshang and the others were stunned to realize that this guy had set up an array long ago, and the spiritual energy fluctuations suggested that it was quite powerful.
Lin Fengmian smiled mockingly, “Now, you don’t still think that it was you who saved me, do you?”
Ye Ling’s face darkened and she coldly snorted, “Even with this array, you can only buy a little time.”
“Once the array is broken, you’ll still be at our mercy. Still trying to save face, huh?”
Lin Fengmian had been waiting for her to say that, thinking that this guy was a good decoy.
He waved his long sleeve and laughed, “A little time is all I need. In a moment, I’ll have you under my control like a piece of cake!”
Guan Ming couldn’t help but sneer, “Arrogant! What do you have to control her with?”
Lin Fengmian smiled but didn’t speak. His long hair and sleeves fluttered in the wind as spiritual energy from all around continued to converge on him, like rivers flowing into the sea.
The spiritual energy stirred up a fierce wind, and suddenly, the temple was enveloped in the sound of wind and thunder, a prelude to a storm.
Jun Yunshang was somewhat surprised, “It’s raining? It was calm just a moment ago?”
The others were also somewhat confused, but only Elder Huang’s face turned pale as if he had realized something.
“No! He’s about to go through the tribulation crossing!”
Elder Huang’s voice trembled, as if he had seen some monstrous being.
The few people nearby were stunned. Ye Ling, who was still in the dark, asked, “Tribulation Crossing?”
“He’s about to cross the Fourth Nine Heavenly Tribulation!” Elder Huang said, sounding incredulous.
Ye Ling suddenly caught on and said, “Didn’t he just transcend the Third Nine Heavenly Tribulation three days ago?”
“How could he be facing the Fourth Nine Heavenly Tribulation so soon?”
Zuo Yueting, who had been listening, also understood. From what these people were saying, this guy had just transcended the tribulation of the Core Formation Realm a few days ago?
In just a few days, had he reached the Nascent Soul Realm?
She couldn’t help but feel a sense of absurdity as she thought that these people might be conspiring to trick her.
However, she also remembered a rumor that had been circulating in Luoyan City recently: a prodigy had risen from a mortal to the Core Formation Realm in just two days!
She had dismissed that rumor as far-fetched and ignored it completely.
But looking at the person in front of her, she couldn’t help but suspect that he was that very prodigy.
Zuo Yueting looked at Lin Fengmian, her disbelief obvious. “You’re the prodigy cultivator from Luoyan City?”
Lin Fengmian took in everyone’s gaze, feeling quite satisfied with the attention. He put on a perfect performance.
He slowly walked towards the door, his tone filled with a deep sense of weariness and disillusionment.
“Please remember, Miss Zuo, I am not from Luoyan City. I, Ye Xuefeng, was born and raised in Kang City.”
“Even though I am favored by heaven, I am not a miracle cultivator. My destiny was bought with the lives of the entire city’s people.”
“Compared to being a prodigy cultivator, I would rather be an ordinary person in the city, living a simple life.”
“But since Heaven has decreed it so, I, Ye Xuefeng, will stand up for the people of Kang City and challenge the high and mighty rulers.”
“I will trample on the lofty cultivators and prove to the world that mortals are not to be trifled with!”
Of course, this was a setup for his future challenge to the Heaven-Soaring Sword Saint.
This incident happened in the Heaven-Soaring Sword Saint’s territory. It’s only reasonable for me to seek retribution from you.
Had it not been for your leniency, these people would not have had the audacity to slaughter innocent people.
“On behalf of all mortals, I challenge you, the ruler of the cultivators. Do you dare refuse?”
The crowd watched in a daze as he walked out, his tall and upright figure exuding a proud and unrestrained aura, yet appearing incredibly lonely.
Hearing his words, Jun Yunshang looked at his slightly lonely back and felt even more guilty.
Lin Fengmian stepped out of the temple gates, letting out a long howl as he soared into the sky to face the Four Nines Heavenly Tribulation.
His eyes were filled with determination, as if he wanted to prove that even a mortal could stand above all living beings.
In the sky, thunder roared and lightning flashed, the lightning arcs in the thunder clouds resembling long dragons, capable of instantly burning all life to ashes.
Standing high above, Lin Fengmian curiously asked, “Luo Xue, why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Right now, I can feel the rolling thunder not only in the sky, but also in my head. Are you trying to kill me with lightning?” Luo Xue said speechlessly.
“Cough, cough, it’s a rare opportunity, just pretend for me this once,” Lin Fengmian said with a smile.
Luo Xue was at a loss for words and finally managed to say after a long pause, “I would rather die than let anyone know my identity. Otherwise, I won’t be able to survive in this world.”
Lin Fengmian laughed awkwardly and then burst out laughing, “Let the tribulation come!”
As soon as he spoke, a brilliant bolt of lightning split the dark night sky, striking down towards Lin Fengmian as if it were the wrath of the gods descending from heaven.
“Look, even the heavens can’t bear to see this. You got struck by lightning, didn’t you?” Luo Xue said with a smug smile.
“What’s there to be afraid of? If you want to show off, you have to be prepared to get struck by lightning.”
Lin Fengmian was shaking with pain, but he still managed to maintain a calm and composed appearance.
As the heavenly tribulation continued to assault him, his figure gradually blurred, as if merging with the lightning, yet becoming clear again in an instant.
Lin Fengmian appeared and disappeared within the heavenly tribulation, yet he moved with ease, his figure tall and extraordinary.
His demeanor was wild and unrestrained, similar to that of a talented madman who has not yet found his place in the world.
