Chapter 087：One finger

"Ha ha, to be honest, your choice really took me by surprise." 

Duan Tianlang's lips curled into a cold smile and he stared at Lin Feng. 

"You have an outstanding talent, so I, Duan Tianlang, value you and bestow upon you a promising future. However, you refused it. You should understand that, just because you have an outstanding talent, others can reject me, but you shouldn't, because I won't let go of someone like you alive." 

"Your refusal is the cause of your inevitable doom. You will surely die." 

As Duan Tianlang finished speaking, his aura was menacing and intimidating. A series of sharp and powerful essences rushed towards Lin Feng. 

Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged. Of course, he understood what Duan Tianlao had said. But there were still some choices that he had to make, even though he knew that such choices might lead him to a point of no return. 

"Fan Tianlang, I forbid you to lay a hand on him." 

At this moment, Liu Fei stepped forward and blocked Lin Feng's path, his expression cold and indifferent. 

Lin Feng's words just now also deeply shocked her. She never expected that the lecherous and bad-tempered Lin Feng, who had always been in her mind as someone with a bad character, would have such a tender and sentimental side. 

Moreover, considering Lin Feng's natural talent, he definitely cannot die. 

Today, Yunhai Sect is doomed to suffer a calamity. Therefore, she wants to leave some hope for Yunhai Sect. 

"Feifei, he must die." 

Duan Tianlang's gaze was sharp and piercing. He insisted. 

"I won't let you lay a finger on him," Liufei gritted her teeth, her gaze filled with determination. 

"Feifei, why do you care so much about him? What's your connection with him?" The son of Duan Tianlang, Duan Han, stepped out and stared coldly at Lin Feng. He had recognized Lin Feng long ago. On the day at the foot of the mountain, Liu Fei paused for a moment because of Lin Feng. It was obvious that she knew Lin Feng. However, at that time, Liu Fei denied it and only said that they were fellow disciples. 

But at this moment, Liu Fei was so protective of Lin Feng, a young man with outstanding talent. This made Duan Han, who had always regarded Liu Fei as her own woman, suddenly feel a strange emotion. 

"What's my connection with him? It's none of your business!" Liu Fei glared at Duan Han for a moment, then turned her gaze to the surrounding red-blooded iron cavalry and shouted loudly: "Listen up, all of you! I don't care what orders you received. But this person, you are not allowed to touch him. Otherwise, no matter which side you manage to flee to in the future, my father will surely bring you to justice according to the military law." 

Upon hearing this, Duan Han's expression turned even more displeased. He said coldly, "Feifei, could it be that you like him?" 

"It doesn't matter anyway," Liufei said angrily. "Who she likes has nothing to do with me. What's it to do with you, Duan Han?" 

Duan Han's gaze paused for a moment, then his face turned grim. He said coldly, "Yes, yes. Then he deserves to die even more." 

"Lin Feng, you didn't say it with such a resolute air, did you? Now, why are you hiding behind that woman's back?" 

Lin Feng gave a bitter smile. "Liu Fei... this girl has used him as a shield twice already." 

Taking a few steps forward, Lin Feng walked up to Liu Fei and stood beside her, holding her arm and whispering softly, "Since you are already my woman, how could I allow you to stand in front of me?" 

"Er..." 

Liu Fei's face turned pale. Looking at Lin Feng, whose eyes were filled with a hint of amusement, she couldn't help but be speechless. This bastard, at this point in time, still thinks of taking advantage of her... 

But Duan Han's face turned even more pale and sallow. 

"Your woman, how dare you claim that Liu Fei is yours, Lin Feng? You've got no right to say that. I'll give you a sword strike if you dare to challenge me." 

"Lin Feng, don't do it." 

Liu Fei held Lin Feng tightly. She knew that Duan Han's strength was much more terrifying than Wen Renyan's. Moreover, his sword was extremely powerful. 

But at this moment, how could Lin Feng back down? 

"Nothing is beyond my ability." or "There's nothing I'm afraid of." 

As soon as he took a step forward, Lin Feng stood opposite Duan Han. Duan Han was about eighteen years old. Even if he had extraordinary talent, he couldn't be so powerful that he couldn't be resisted by Lin Feng, could he? 

"Humph, it's connected properly." 

Duan Ling coldly chuckled. A torrent of sword energy burst forth suddenly from the space, as if it had appeared out of nowhere. 

This sword-like energy, as if it were a solid thing, roared out with a sound and became increasingly intense. 

"Blade Form." 

The crowd felt a shudder. It was the sword energy. The son of Duan Tianlao, Duan Han, had also mastered the sword energy like Lin Feng. However, although this sword energy was stronger than Lin Feng's, his mastery of the sword energy was still inferior to Lin Feng's. 

Lin Feng's expression tightened. He held his long sword firmly and, with the same surging momentum of the sword, launched a fierce attack. 

"Humph! For a swordsman, one doesn't necessarily have to use a sword. You see clearly now." 

Duan Han's fingers made a gesture in the air, and immediately, the primordial qi of the universe surged with vigor, blending with the sword qi of the space. A sword of primordial qi formed a row in the void, and in Duan Han's hand, the sword flashed with swordlight. 

"Boom." 

The crowd felt a shudder in their hearts. Yuan Qiwa's sword technique! How could it be? How could Duan Han be so powerful? 

No, this should be a kind of sword technique, a powerful one. 

"Blade." 

Duan coldly uttered a shout. In his palm, the Primordial Vitality Sword was emitting an extremely intense sword light. 

The sword descended from the sky. The sword's aura transformed into a huge sword, aiming to slay Lin Feng. 

At this moment, all the sword qi merged into this sword qi field. The endless pressure of the sword energy descended upon Lin Feng. 

Lin Feng could have evaded, but he couldn't. Otherwise, if he stood there and took the blow, what was the point of his doing so? 

Duan Han, compared to him, is more of a swordsman or a swordsman cultivator. This Lin Feng has to admit. As for the swordsmen he has met before, they couldn't even be called swordsman cultivators, even if they had sword spirit souls. 

"Death-defying sword." 

Seeing the invisible sword that was cleaved down from the sky, Lin Feng wielded his long sword with vigor, and dazzling brilliance shone forth, with sword energy flowing freely. 

The endless and chilling aura burst forth on the Death Arena. The lethal sword, beneath the nullifying sword that was slashed down, seemed to disintegrate. The sword's aura of energy couldn't be consolidated. 

"Too domineering!" Lin Feng's pupils contracted for a moment. At this point, the huge sword had already struck down and landed on his long sword. Lin Feng felt a surging pressure coming towards him and let out a grunt. 

But what was even more terrifying was that the endless sword energy on the great sword directly lunged towards Lin Feng's body. 

"Puff!" 

His body trembled slightly. Lin Feng stumbled backward, and a drop of blood trickled out from the corner of his mouth, bright red and extremely vivid. 

Looking at Lin Feng's clothes at this moment, they are all torn and damaged. 

Just a little way away from Lin Feng, Liu Fei was not affected at all. Seeing Lin Feng injured, she immediately came forward and helped him up. 

"I'm fine," Lin Feng said with a faint shake of his head. With a single sword strike, he gathered all the sword energy together, creating an extremely powerful attack. This battle, although Lin Feng suffered a complete defeat, he gained a lot of insights. 

"He is quite powerful. He is about the same age as Wen Renyan, but his strength is much greater than Wen Renyan's. He is also a genius, a genius in swordsmanship." 

The crowd felt a shudder in their hearts. The swordsmen were indeed powerful. Their attack power was extremely strong. 

"See? You can't even withstand my one strike. How can you compare with me? In terms of strength, you're far behind." 

Duan Han gave Lin Feng a glance, his gaze cold. He raised his hand and shouted in the air, "Draw the bow." 

"Drink." 

A series of loud roars echoed out, and a sense of solemnity pervaded the air. Only to see that all the crimson-blooded iron cavalry above and around the canyon had taken down their bows and were preparing to draw them back. 

An extremely terrifying aura was pressing down on the area of the Life and Death Platform. 

"As I give the order, they dare not disobey. They all obey my orders. They hold the power of life and death in their hands and control the destinies of countless people. In terms of power, how can you compete with me?" 

Duan Han's hand dropped. Instantly, the Crimson Blood Cavalry withdrew their bows and arrows, their movements being extremely proficient. 

"You are inferior to me in terms of strength, and your influence is far beyond mine. How could you have the right to approach Liu Fei?" 

Duan Lengmo said, his voice resonating with power. 

"Fan Han, you are so shameless!" Liu Fei, beside Lin Feng, shouted angrily. 

"Your current strength is due to the nurturing by your family, your royal background, and the constant presence of renowned teachers and training materials. But what about Lin Feng? What skills and techniques does he possess? Moreover, the martial arts and skills you practice are of the highest quality. The one-handed pillar-pressing move just now was a supreme martial skill of the Xuanji category, and its power is extremely formidable. Comparing yourself to Lin Feng like this, don't you feel ashamed?" 

"As for your so-called power and influence, it was bestowed upon you by your family. Because of your status, it's not something you've earned through your own strength and efforts. What's that supposed to mean?" 

"Feifei, no matter how strong my power is or how I acquire it, you can't deny that all these are part of me now. I am who I am. All these belong to me. Lin Feng, even compared to me, I don't have the qualification to do so." Duan Han didn't agree with Liu Fei's words. 

"Even if they are all yours, what's the matter? Don't you know that your age is older than Lin Feng's? With his talent, giving him two years, won't he be better than you? How can you compare like this? Do you have no shame?" 

Liu Fei snapped coldly and said, causing the crowd to nod in agreement in secret. 

Yes, both Duan Han and Liu Fei are right in what they said. 

Duan Han has achieved his current status and power because of his good background and high social standing. However, it cannot be denied that these are already what he has acquired. 

However, Lin Feng, unlike Duan Han, didn't have a privileged background. He relied on his own efforts. If he were in a different position, he would definitely be much stronger than Duan Han. Moreover, Lin Feng is still young. He is two years younger than Duan Han. In just two years, Lin Feng would be able to surpass Duan Han. Lin Feng's talent is still superior to Duan Han's. 

"Regardless of what you say, the strong are strong and the weak are weak. Moreover, today, he is doomed to die." 

"All right, why bother arguing with someone who's not even a member of our family, Feifei? You'll sooner or later become a member of the Fan family. Now, come over to my side." 

Duan Tianlang interrupted the two people's conversation, his tone being unshakable, as if what he said would definitely come true. Liufei, she would become a member of the Duan family. 

"Even if you dream of it, Liufei, I will never become a member of the Duan family." 

"Humph! Liu Fei, this kind of talk is fine to say in front of me. But if it gets out, you'll be committing a serious crime. Don't forget, the Duan family belongs to the royal family." 

Duan Tianlang waved his sleeves coldly. Instantly, the bows and arrows of the Red Blood Cavalry were raised again, aiming at the area of the风云 Canyon and the Death-Defying Platform.
