Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 124 Combat

As soon as Lin Feng revealed his Dou Huang-level aura, many Dou Wangs in the Nameless Mountains were somewhat panicked. In their understanding, Lin Feng's ability to reach the sixth rank in alchemy at such a young age was already a rare genius, a phenomenon that had only been seen once every few centuries in the Northwest Continent.

If it weren't for the fact that he possessed the Netherworld Poison Fire, the most precious treasure in the world of poisons, these Battle Kings would never have been disrespectful to him. Even if they intended to attack him, they would not have harmed his life.

Of course, these Battle Kings had already secretly agreed that they would support each other should Lin Feng return to seek revenge. They didn't believe that Lin Feng would offend the entire Chuyun Empire for a single strange fire, since this poisonous fire offered no help whatsoever to alchemists.

However, what these people didn't expect was that Lin Feng was determined to obtain this strange fire, as it might be the best way to resolve the Calamity Poison Body. Moreover, what surprised them most was that Lin Feng had actually advanced to the intermediate Dou Huang realm at such a young age.

"Gentlemen, let me reiterate: if you withdraw now, we can live in harmony. But if you remain obstinate, and if you cannot kill me today, prepare for the day your races are wiped out!"

As soon as Lin Feng said this, the many Dou Wangs who were already hesitant became agitated. Under the uneasy gaze of Scorpion Mountain, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, they exchanged glances.

"Master, we have offended you. We will leave immediately and hope you will forgive us."

Without further hesitation, the numerous Dou Wangs stepped forward, cupped their hands in greeting to Lin Feng, and then unfurled their Dou Qi wings to depart. These people were backed by powerful families, and their attempt to seize the spiritual treasure was inherently risky. Had they not harbored the intention of taking advantage of the chaos, they would have already left.

Lin Feng, a sixth-grade alchemy master and a mid-level Dou Huang, and with the elders of Canaan Academy saying they wouldn't pursue their responsibility, naturally ran as fast as he could.

"Hmph! A bunch of useless trash."

In the blink of an eye, most of the Dou Wangs present had left. Apart from some Dou Wangs from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, there were only a few Dou Wangs who were still trying to take advantage of the chaos and remained hidden in the shadows.

Even the royal family's Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) has left. After all, the royal family isn't like the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, which has the support of a Dou Zong (Battle Master) expert. Even risking offending a sixth-grade alchemist and Canaan Academy, the strange fire will ultimately not go to the royal family.

Having grasped this crucial point, only the Dou Huang level experts and members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect remained. Even the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, not wanting to offend the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, apologized to Lin Feng and left.

"Hahaha, as expected of a young prodigy who has reached such a top level in alchemy and martial arts cultivation, his eloquence is second to none!"

Scorpion Mountain, the leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, first praised them, then his tone changed and became sinister.

"However, if you do not hand over this poisonous fire, we will keep you here today, even at the risk of offending Canaan Academy."

"In that case, why don't you come and try out my fighting skills?"

After the numerous Dou Wang and Dou Huang figures departed, Lin Feng visibly breathed a sigh of relief. This Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, Scorpion Mountain, was only a few stars higher than him. As long as he hadn't yet reached the Dou Zong realm, Lin Feng had a way to defeat him.

Moreover, with his unique flame, he had the advantage of timing and location over these poison masters, so there was no reason for him to lose.

"The king of all poisons—the scorpion's sting!"

Suddenly, a black, poisonous needle covered in evil patterns appeared in Scorpion Mountain's hand and shot towards Lin Feng while he was not paying attention.

"Hahaha, so what if he's a sixth-grade alchemy master? A dead alchemist isn't that valuable."

Seeing that Lin Feng could not resist his signature move, Xie Shan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Buzz"

Just as the dark, evil poison needle was about to pierce Lin Feng, a five-colored light screen suddenly appeared around Lin Feng. After a strange fluctuation sound came out, it deflected the poison needle without any hindrance.

"What!?"

Just as Scorpion Mountain, the leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, was shocked by this, Lin Feng had already unleashed a combination fighting technique—Lightning Vajra Finger—and launched a rapid attack on him.

Lin Feng's attack was unremarkable, much more understated than Scorpion Mountain's Scorpion Tail Needle, yet his pupils shrank drastically, as if a single misstep could cost him his life.

Before he could even ponder why Lin Feng, a mere intermediate-level Dou Huang, posed such a significant threat to him, a peak Dou Huang, he rapidly formed hand seals, drawing the poisonous energy from the surrounding mountains towards him.

"boom"

Before Zi Yan and the others from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, the five-colored battle qi and the pitch-black battle qi suddenly collided, and a huge cloud of dust covered the two of them.

As the dust gradually settled, two figures slowly appeared before everyone.

"As expected of a prodigy from Canaan Academy, not only is his alchemy skill extraordinary, but his combat prowess is also far beyond that of ordinary people."

The old voice of Scorpion Mountain rang out first. Just as the people of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect were worried that he was at a disadvantage, Lin Feng spoke up.

"Senior's combat experience is truly rich. In addition to the overt fighting techniques, he also secretly launched a poisonous scorpion attack. If it weren't for my strong soul power, I might have already fallen by now."

As soon as they finished speaking, they quickly engaged in battle again. Streams of battle energy, some jet black and some five-colored, shot out fiercely in all directions, severely damaging the surrounding environment. Even the Dou Huangs of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect had already moved far away, unable to withstand the aftershocks of the battle between the two Dou Huang powerhouses.

After an unknown amount of time, the two separated again. The two who appeared before the crowd now had somewhat tattered clothes, and their once perfect, unified aura was now somewhat chaotic.

"Sect Master!"

"Brother Lin Feng!"

Seeing that the two had separated, the members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect and Little Fairy Doctor Zi Yan quickly approached them.

"Sect Master, are you alright?"

Many of the Dou Wang elders of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect spoke up, their tone filled with disbelief. They knew that their sect leader was a peak Dou Huang, while the young man opposite them was not only a mid-level Dou Huang, but also an alchemist.

How could someone possess such formidable combat power? It should be noted that everyone who reaches the Douhuang realm possesses extensive combat experience, yet they are able to fight against the sect leader, even if it involves crossing several star levels.

They originally thought that Lin Feng's ability to reach the Dou Huang realm must be due to his reliance on pills to rapidly advance, making him a "medicine addict" who would have difficulty defeating even low-level Dou Huangs. However, the result was beyond their expectations.

"Lin Feng, are you alright? Just wait and see how I teach him a lesson!"

Zi Yan looked at Lin Feng's body covered in wounds and said angrily.
