Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"this...!"

"Could it be that Xu Linfeng has mistaken someone for someone else?"

"The deaths of Li Linyue and the others in the past were probably not caused by this boy, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to show his face at Jue Long Ridge at all, and would have hidden himself away like a coward long ago..."

After hearing Lu Feng's explanation, not only did Qin Xuanzhong frown, but Gongsun Jian and the others beside him also looked doubtful and remained silent for a moment.

Because all these murder accusations are merely Xu Linfeng's one-sided statements, without any substantial evidence.

Although Gongsun Jian himself was very dissatisfied with Lu Feng and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, he did not dare to make a move in public without any evidence.

This is because it not only violates the rules of the Four Kingdoms' martial arts competition, but it also easily incurs the dissatisfaction of Ren Lingyun and others from Dongyun Kingdom.

After all, no matter what, Lu Feng was an outsider invited by Dongyun Kingdom, and he had a close relationship with Crown Prince Ren Lingyun of Dongyun Kingdom.

In addition, the other party also has the identity of a disciple of Falling Star Academy, and is not an ordinary rogue cultivator from the outside world!

"Gentlemen, every word I, Lu Feng, have spoken is absolutely true, and heaven and earth can bear witness!"

Seeing that he had intimidated the Taiji Sword Sect disciples, Lu Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then pointed his right hand to the sky and swore an oath, saying with a solemn tone, "I did not kill Li Linyue and the others of the Taiji Sword Sect. They died at the hands of those remnants of the Wusheng Sect..."

"As for this Fellow Daoist Xu, he must be unwilling to accept defeat in this battle, which is why he suddenly brought up this matter, intending to frame me..."

Lu Feng remained calm and composed, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

After all, although he usually likes to show off, he's not stupid. He certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to admit in public that the deaths of Li Linyue and the others were related to him.

Moreover, Lu Feng's acting skills have always been impeccable. Even when he lies, he does so without batting an eye, and ordinary martial artists cannot detect anything amiss.

"That seems to make sense...!"

"Although Lu Feng has the strength to kill Li Linyue and the others, he shouldn't have the guts to attack people from our Taiji Sword Sect..."

"That's right. If the murderer really is Lu Feng, he would have already fled. There's no way he could be participating in the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Tournament right now. Isn't he just walking into a trap?"

Upon seeing this, apart from Gongsun Jian, the other Taiji Sword Sect disciples exchanged glances and whispered among themselves, seemingly dispelling their suspicions about Lu Feng.

"That's enough!"

At this moment, Qin Xuanzhong shouted coldly, immediately interrupting the crowd's discussion, "This is a martial arts competition between the four kingdoms, not a courtroom trial. All of you, be quiet!"

"And you, Xu Linfeng!"

At this point, Qin Xuanzhong shifted his gaze to Xu Linfeng, who was covered in injuries, and said in a cold tone, "It's one thing to be inferior in skill, but now you're trying to find an excuse to embarrass me?"

"This disciple wouldn't dare...!"

Faced with Qin Xuanzhong's cold gaze, Xu Linfeng's lips twitched slightly. He was so frightened that he quickly bowed and retreated.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you flatter me."

Seeing that the "farce" had finally ended, Lu Feng cupped his hands in greeting, his expression unchanged.

"Damn it, thank goodness this guy surnamed Xu didn't leave any evidence, otherwise I would have almost been exposed..."

Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate.

"A great opportunity...!"

Seeing Lu Feng momentarily relax, Xu Linfeng, who had originally intended to leave, also turned cold. He suddenly reached into his sleeve with his right hand and flung out a purple talisman, shouting, "You brat, die...!"

call out!

A flash of purple light appeared from Xu Linfeng's sleeve, instantly pointing straight at Lu Feng's throat, accompanied by a deadly aura. This caused the latter's expression to change slightly, "Not good...!"

Boom! Swish swish swish...!

In an instant, the purple talisman suddenly grew several times larger, then exploded and cracked open, transforming into countless powerful purple sword beams crackling with lightning. Lu Feng had almost no way to dodge them. It was none other than the Purple Thunder Nine Swords Talisman that Gongsun Jian had secretly given to Xu Linfeng!

"You bastard! How dare you try to play dirty tricks on me?!"

Faced with Xu Linfeng's sudden sneak attack, Lu Feng was filled with rage. He immediately summoned his Extreme Ice Shield Axe and unleashed a powerful slash from a distance, shouting, "Frozen Ten Thousand Miles!"

A massive amount of deadly cold air swept out, which then transformed into countless ice crystal axe beams. At the same time, it shattered the rain of swords pouring down from the sky, melting away like spring snow, and finally turning into nothingness!

After all, thanks to Xia Xihai's reforging and repair, the current Extreme Ice Shield Axe is not only much more powerful, but also capable of both offense and defense. A mere Purple Lightning Nine Swords Talisman cannot break through the Extreme Ice Shield Axe's shield defense!

Clang clang clang...!

A loud and ear-piercing sound of sword energy bursting was heard. The next moment, the Extreme Ice Shield Axe was still indestructible, and Lu Feng was hiding behind the shield axe, almost unharmed!

"You bastard, you're asking for it...!"

Once again, Lu Feng combined the Ice Shield and Axe into one, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He had originally planned to let Xu Linfeng off the hook, since the two had no grudges against each other. However, not only did the other party frame him, but he also launched a sneak attack, which undoubtedly enraged Lu Feng.

"Ice Shield Axe, Slash!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Feng unleashed his Ice Shield Axe once more, a massive amount of Yuan Power instantly transforming into a razor-sharp ice crystal axe beam, aimed directly at Xu Linfeng's head, intending to decapitate him on the spot!

"The Nine Swords of Purple Thunder Talisman is completely ineffective against this person!"

"This, how is this possible...!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Xu Linfeng's face turned pale, and he stood frozen in place, seemingly terrified.

After all, the Purple Thunder Nine Swords Talisman in his hand was a genuine top-grade Xuan-level talisman, powerful enough to kill a first-level Yuanhai Realm expert. Moreover, it was a sneak attack, yet it couldn't even break through Lu Feng's defense, which was naturally unbelievable to him!

"You brat, how dare you!"

Seeing Lu Feng suddenly become extremely murderous and intend to kill Xu Linfeng on the spot, Qin Xuanzhong's expression changed slightly, and he immediately unleashed a palm strike of Yuan Power from a distance.

Boom! Rumble...!

In an instant, the Yuan Power Palm Force pierced through the air and shattered the ice crystal axe light that Lu Feng had unleashed, turning it into a pile of fragments!

"Tch, it's that annoying old man again...!"

Seeing that his attack had been broken, Lu Feng only frowned slightly, seemingly unsurprised.

After all, Qin Xuanzhong himself is a fifth-level Yuanhai Realm expert. His Yuan power cultivation and combat experience are far superior to those of Gongsun Jian and others, so he is not so easy to deal with!

"You madman, you've got some nerve! How dare you kill someone right in front of me...!"

Qin Xuanzhong's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light. He seemed to have been provoked by Lu Feng's actions.

After all, he was one of the five Heavenly Venerables of the Taiji Sword Sect. Now, Lu Feng, an unknown junior, dared to kill someone in front of him, which showed that he didn't take him seriously at all!

"Senior Qin, what you're saying doesn't seem quite right, does it?"

"It was clearly your disciple who launched the sneak attack first, intending to kill me. How has it become my fault now?"

Faced with Qin Xuanzhong's questioning, Lu Feng gave a cold laugh, his tone still mocking.

"You sharp-tongued little brat, you're asking for it!"

Seeing Lu Feng's arrogant and nonchalant demeanor, Qin Xuanzhong was even more enraged. He immediately raised his hand and grabbed Lu Feng's neck, intending to capture him alive on the spot.

Swish!

Just as Qin Xuanzhong's claws were about to strike Lu Feng's neck, a streak of black and white sword energy suddenly shot down from the sky, forcing him back. "Who goes there?!"

"How dare they oppose the Tai Chi Sword Sect!"

He quickly looked up in the direction of the person who had made the move, his tone somewhat exasperated.

"How could it be her...!"

Looking up at the sky as well, Lu Feng's expression froze slightly, a look of surprise on his face.

The newcomer was dressed in white, with flowing black hair. Her beautiful face was expressionless, and her aura was otherworldly, like a fairy descending from heaven. She was none other than Zhong Lingyu, the former top genius of Sunset Star Academy and the ice queen ranked first in the East Academy!

Swish!

Ignoring the astonishment of Qin Xuanzhong and Lu Feng, Zhong Lingyu stepped onto a cloud and slowly descended towards the Northern Wei army. At the same time, she slightly bowed to the leader, Zhao Kuangyi, her face remaining calm and composed.

"Oh dear! Miss Zhong, you've finally arrived...!"

"To be honest, I thought you weren't coming at all..."

Zhao Kuangyi also bowed to Zhong Lingyu, his face filled with excitement and his tone somewhat wistful, as if he too had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"..."

Faced with Zhao Kuangyi's bow, Zhong Lingyu remained silent, only nodding slightly in return.

Because he came here for no other reason than to repay a debt of gratitude!
