Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 211 Taking Action

Inside the barrier, Lin Feng didn't spend much time deciding that he wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with that loser.

"It's you I've decided on—Old Man Yingshan."

After deciding on his target, Lin Feng did not act immediately, but instead waited in the shadows for the perfect opportunity.

On one hand, although the Grand Elder was in a very dangerous situation, judging from the actions of Old Man Eagle Mountain, he did not intend to kill him. Of course, it could also be that he was waiting for the Grand Elder to lower his guard before unleashing a fatal blow.

On the other hand, as Iron Protector had just said, the soul power of this Eagle Mountain Elder was even stronger than that of Han Feng, who had reached the seventh rank in alchemy. Lin Feng guessed that his soul power was probably close to the perfection of the mortal realm.

Lin Feng, whose soul power had reached the perfect realm of the mortal realm, naturally knew how terrifying the perception brought by this powerful soul power was. Therefore, once he made a move, he had to deliver a fatal blow.

Otherwise, it would take Lin Feng a lot more effort to make a direct attack. That's right, a mere three or four-star Dou Zong is nothing more than a matter of taking a little more effort in Lin Feng's eyes now.

"Hahaha, Elder Su Qian, it seems you're not as formidable as the rumors suggest!"

After casually repelling Su Qian, the Old Man of Eagle Mountain did not immediately advance. Instead, he stood high in the sky, stroking his beard and laughing smugly. However, Lin Feng, who had been secretly observing, noticed that the Old Man's eyes frequently glanced around, as if he were wary of something.

Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh. No wonder he was a guy who could live to old age in the chaotic Black Corner Region. His alertness and vigilance were ingrained in his bones. Even when he had the absolute upper hand, he did not let his guard down.

"Elder, it's me!"

Hearing the words of the old man from Eagle Mountain, Su Qian was furious. Just as he was about to say something, a familiar voice entered his mind.

"Elder, remember not to let Elder Eagle Mountain notice the change in your expression!"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Elder Su Qian more or less guessed Lin Feng's thoughts. He maintained his angry expression and shouted at Elder Yingshan.

"Eagle Mountain, how dare you cause trouble at Canaan Academy today! After this day, you will surely be punished by the academy. If you leave now, I can grant you leave without pursuing your offense against the academy!"

With Lin Feng's support, Elder Su Qian's confidence immediately increased.

Seeing the change in Elder Su Qian's expression, Elder Ying Shan didn't take it to heart. He naturally knew that Canaan Academy had been able to stand firm in the very center of the Black Corner Region for many years, which meant it had some trump cards.

This is also why he repeatedly held back when he had many opportunities to kill Su Qian.

"Elder Su Qian, I only accepted the benefits from Master Han Feng and had no choice but to do this."

Seeing Elder Su Qian panting, Elder Yingshan didn't seize the opportunity to attack. In his view, stopping the inner courtyard's top combatant was enough to repay Han Feng's kindness in giving him the pills. Any more, and that would come at a different price.

"No need for further explanation!"

Su Qian flicked his sleeves and attacked the old man of Eagle Mountain again, but because he couldn't compete with him in spatial manipulation, he decided to compete in physical combat.

Old Man Eagle Mountain, who saw through Su Qian's intentions, didn't care at all. He even had the mood to pay attention to the situation on the field. He would skip over the battle at the Dou Wang level first, because such a small fry was not worth his attention.

Only those who reach the Dou Huang level can be taken seriously by him. After all, even if he is a Dou Zong expert, it would not be good if he were suddenly attacked by a Dou Huang expert.

Upon seeing this, Elder Yingshan frowned slightly, because the performance of the many Dou Huangs in the Black Corner Region was truly appalling. Apart from Yuan Yi of the Eight Doors, they were all being severely suppressed.

In no more than half an hour, these people would be defeated. When his gaze fell on Han Feng, his slightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, because the young man opposite Han Feng, who gave him a strange feeling, had been severely suppressed by Han Feng, and the outcome would likely be decided soon.

On the other side, the two elders, Jin and Yin, were evenly matched with their opponents, a sight that made him nod slightly in approval.

"It seems that today's plan has gone smoothly! A battle at the level of Dou Wang or Dou Huang will not affect the overall situation. Now we just need to wait for Han Feng to deal with that kid."

"As for me, dealing with Su Qian is a piece of cake!"

Just then, Elder Eagle Mountain paused, suddenly noticing that Lin Feng and Protector Iron had completely disappeared from everyone's sight from the very beginning.

After quickly scanning the area and still not finding the two figures, a sense of unease suddenly welled up in the old man of Eagle Mountain.

However, Elder Su Qian's attack was already upon him, so he could only suppress his unease and concentrate on dealing with it. After all, Elder Su Qian was also an extremely powerful Dou Zong expert; although he was no match for him, he couldn't afford to be careless.

"Bang bang bang"

After several intense exchanges, Elder Su Qian did not continue his attack. Instead, he remained in the void not far from Elder Ying Shan, rapidly forming hand seals.

"Mid-level Earth-rank combat skill - Sky-Splitting Fist!"

Elder Su Qian shouted and, disregarding the loss of his battle qi, unleashed a powerful fist technique. Centered on his fist, the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) rapidly converged towards this spot.

In order to cooperate with Lin Feng and give him an opportunity to make a move, Elder Su Qian had to focus the attention of Elder Ying Shan. After a brief exchange, he had a feeling that the guy opposite him was definitely hiding most of his strength.

Lin Feng only has one chance to make a move. If he fails and the enemy escapes, Canaan Academy will be in for a rough time with this guy's strength.

"Damn it, if only those two old folks, Qianbai and his wife, would have stepped in! Those two stubborn old bastards!"

Elder Su Qian was secretly annoyed for a moment. After finishing the hand seal, he blasted towards Elder Ying Shan, who was also concentrating on forming a hand seal not far away.

"Soul-Splitting Needle!"

Elder Yingshan's hand seal speed seemed to be even faster than Elder Su Qian's. The instant he finished his hand seal, Elder Yingshan actually completed his hand seal first, and a tiny, seemingly transparent divine needle slowly floated out from his forehead.

"Hahaha, Elder Su Qian, although I can't kill you, dealing with you shouldn't be a problem, right? Hahahaha!"

After the divine needle appeared, beads of sweat appeared on the old man's face, but he didn't care at all, as if he had already expected that Elder Su Qian would be seriously injured by this move.

"What?!"

The moment the divine needle appeared, Elder Su Qian felt as if his soul was being violently torn apart, and a slight stinging sensation came from his mind.

Elder Su Qian had a feeling that he absolutely could not withstand the attack of this divine needle. However, thinking of his agreement with Lin Feng, he could only grit his teeth and hope that Lin Feng could deal with the old man of Eagle Mountain after he was severely injured.

"not good!"

The moment the divine needles appeared, Lin Feng sensed something was wrong. Although he hadn't learned any secret techniques for soul attacks, his perfected mortal realm soul power allowed him to immediately recognize that the old man from Eagle Mountain was using these divine needles as a powerful soul combat technique.

"It seems we can't wait any longer. If Elder Su Qian's soul is struck by this divine needle, he might even face the danger of his soul being shattered."

"The Five Elements Sealing Technique - The Five Saints Descend!"

Lin Feng was inside the barrier space. He clapped his hands, and five-colored battle qi instantly appeared and manifested. Before Lin Feng could make a move, it spontaneously split into five streams and began to rotate rapidly.

Half an instant later, it seemed as if a volcanic eruption, crashing waves, the growth of all things, and the aura of war in the world all converged here at once. After that, several ancient and desolate voices rang in Lin Feng's ears.

All that could be seen were five enormous sacred beasts shrouded in a misty, five-colored battle aura, appearing and disappearing intermittently. Upon seeing this, Lin Feng nodded slightly.

"It's time!"

"roar!"

Meanwhile, outside, the old man of Eagle Mountain, who was preparing to launch the divine needle, suddenly froze. In his powerful soul perception, several auras filled with nobility, antiquity, and wildness suddenly appeared.

The energy it contained was beyond his imagination, and if he wasn't mistaken, these figures actually crossed space and rushed straight towards him.

"No, how could such a thing be!"

Elder Yingshan hurriedly formed hand seals, mobilizing all his soul power as if he were about to exhaust his potential, disregarding the loss, and drawing out his soul power from the depths of his mind.

This powerful soul fluctuation naturally shocked the many powerful figures fighting in the sky. After repelling their opponents, they all stood at a distance with great awareness and stopped fighting in perfect unison, all turning their gazes toward this place.

"How is this possible? How could this soul power be stronger than ours? What kind of extraordinary encounter did this old ghost from Eagle Mountain obtain?"

Among the many powerful figures, Han Feng was the most shocked. He was a seventh-grade alchemist and a Dou Zong expert; with his soul power, another step would bring him to the peak of the Mortal Realm. And if given enough opportunity, he could even advance to the Spirit Realm. In the world of alchemists, a Spirit Realm soul was essentially equivalent to an eighth-grade alchemist.

At this moment, a complete novice who was not an alchemist and whose cultivation level was only at the Dou Zong level actually cultivated his soul power to a level comparable to the perfection of the mortal realm. How could he not be shocked?

However, being a powerful figure who had ruled the Black Corner Region for many years, Han Feng's initial shock quickly turned into immense greed. "If I could obtain the secret techniques of this Old Man Eagle Mountain, I would definitely reach the level of an eighth-grade alchemist in the future. Perhaps, I might even have a chance to surpass this old ghost!"

Han Feng glanced discreetly at Xiao Yan, or rather Yao Chen, who was also deep in thought opposite him, and said, "If we also acquire his Burning Technique, along with numerous eighth and ninth-grade pills, our sect might even have a chance to become a giant in the Pill Tower in the future!"

Meanwhile, Yao Chen on the opposite side also noticed Han Feng's gaze. Based on his understanding of Han Feng, he knew that this beast must have already begun to plot.

However, as Yao Chen sensed the powerful soul force, a hint of excitement flickered in his eyes. "A soul technique that can enable a Dou Zong-level expert to reach the mortal realm perfection without practicing alchemy must be of an extraordinary level."

"If we succeed," Yao Chen licked his lips, "it might even be of great help to my advancement to the Soul Heaven Realm."

After observing the situation on the field, Yao Chen immediately discovered a blind spot: Lin Feng and the evil protector of the Soul Palace had completely disappeared, as if the two had never appeared.

"Furthermore, Lin Feng's snake-woman queen hasn't shown up at all from the beginning. Could she be plotting something else?"

After thinking for a moment, Yao Chen felt that Lin Feng must have also discovered the strangeness of the old man from Eagle Mountain, and that he was probably already hiding in the shadows, preparing to make a move.

Perhaps it was because of Lin Feng's covert attack that the Old Man of Eagle Mountain was able to respond so recklessly, disregarding the potential losses.

It can only be said that Yao Chen truly deserves to be called the number one alchemist on the continent back then. In terms of Qi cultivation, he is only one step away from reaching the level of a half-saint. Although he is now in a precarious situation, his vision is still unmatched by Han Feng.

"It seems we'll have to bring out some of our most prized possessions to get this treasure from Lin Feng!"

Besides Han Feng and Yao Chen, the two elders, Jin and Yin, Vice Dean Hu Qian, the leader of the enforcement team, and others were also shocked by this terrifying soul power and stopped to observe the situation.

However, no one stepped forward, because the warning given from the depths of their souls was absolutely genuine; for a strong person, even the slightest ominous premonition would come true.

The performance of those Battle Emperors and Battle Kings was even more exaggerated. After the ceasefire, they quickly moved several kilometers away from the direction of Old Man Eagle Mountain, waiting for the outcome.

"roar"

Old Man Eagle Mountain was naturally unaware of the actions of others, nor could he possibly pay attention to them, all because of the five enormous sacred beasts that suddenly appeared before him. Several roars carrying a strange and intimidating aura instantly shattered the unfinished divine needle in his hand, and the other three completed divine needles also looked as if they were about to collapse.

"Impossible! I've had such a miraculous encounter, how could I possibly die here so easily!"

The old man of Eagle Mountain suddenly roared to the sky, and his fighting spirit surged wildly, forming shields in front of him, as if only in this way could he feel a little bit of security.

This is the tragedy of the people of the Black Corner Region. Elder Eagle Mountain's cultivation level has already reached the Dou Zong level, making him a truly formidable figure throughout the entire Black Corner Region. Yet, his defensive method is so simple, merely reaching the advanced Xuan rank.

After the shield appeared, the old man of Eagle Mountain did not hesitate for long, and the three formed divine needles shot towards the five sacred beasts one after another.

However, this had no effect on the sacred beast, which seemed to be naturally immune to soul attacks. The shield seemed to block it for a moment, but it shattered very quickly and was completely useless.

"roar!"

After several roars, a huge plume of smoke appeared high in the sky, and massive energy ripples spread outwards, startling everyone into retreating several kilometers away once again.

After the smoke cleared, a soft sound slowly reached everyone's ears.

"Click."
