Chapter 474: Chapter 35 The Terrifying Lake of Death

“It really is Nalan Hong!”

“My heavens, for a peerless powerhouse of the Yin Yang Realm to actually chase down a mere Martial General Realm cultivator, this Nalan Hong, to be such a brazenly shameless person, is truly unexpected. How did this guy even become the Clan Leader of the Nalan Family?”

Many people were pointing and talking, their gazes filled with contempt.

Hearing those comments, Nalan Hong almost coughed up blood in anger.

But while they might gossip and mock, no one actually stepped forward to stop Nalan Hong’s pursuit of Lin Feng.

No one would offend a strong figure like Nalan Hong for the sake of a small “Martial General Realm” cultivator.

“Damn it, aren’t there any heroes left in this day and age?”

Watching the crowd that was only interested in watching the commotion but had no intention of helping, Lin Feng couldn’t help feeling very frustrated.

His situation was already very bad, having crazily fled for ten days and nights, his body was almost at its limit.

If he couldn’t find a way to shake off Nalan Hong soon, he feared the only path left to him would be death.

“Go west fifty miles, and you’ll arrive at the infamous forbidden area, Lake of Death. Life or death, it all depends on creation.”

Just then, a voice reached Lin Feng’s ears.

Someone was secretly transmitting a message.

“Thank you.”

Lin Feng expressed his gratitude, not daring to delay, and flew towards the Lake of Death.

He didn’t know what the Lake of Death really was, but since that person referred to it as a “forbidden area,” it was clear that Lake of Death was a place of immense terror.

There were forbidden areas in the East County Divine Land as well, such as the Eternal Demon Mountain. Lin Feng had once entered the Eternal Demon Mountain and had narrowly escaped with his life.

Shoo…

Lin Feng pushed his speed to the limit.

As Nalan Hong rapidly pursued him, at that moment, a dazzling Sword Qi pierced through the void, aiming to slay Nalan Hong.

Nalan Hong bellowed in rage, slashing out with a palm strike, breaking the Sword Qi.

“Do you wish to be an enemy of me, Nalan Hong?”

Nalan Hong’s expression was extremely sullen; he hadn’t expected someone would actually dare to attack him.

That being who had made the move obviously didn’t want to seriously offend Nalan Hong, after intervening once, they did not make another move.

Nalan Hong continued the chase after Lin Feng with a gloomy expression.

…

“There really are good people in this world.”

Lin Feng was moved almost to tears.

That single sword strike from the other party had won Lin Feng the most precious time.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Lin Feng finally reached the Lake of Death.

From a distance, it was a world enveloped in black mist, exuding an eerie and terrifying aura.

“Boy, meet your death…”

Nalan Hong chased after him, reaching out with a large hand towards Lin Feng.

Buzz.

In the void, a massive energy hand suddenly congealed and reached towards Lin Feng.

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from that energy hand, Lin Feng’s face was filled with shock. The energy hand was too terrifying, giving him a suffocating sensation.

Lin Feng knew he couldn’t stay any longer; to stop now meant certain death.

He charged towards the world shrouded in black mist.

But just as Lin Feng reached the edge, a dreadful oppression enveloped him.

Crack crack…

Lin Feng’s bones felt as if they were about to be crushed in an instant.

At that moment, Nalan Hong’s condensed hand was already reaching for him.

“Ah, my life is over…”

Lin Feng cried out in horror.

Bang.

Nalan Hong’s strike, however, was met with an attack from the black mist world; dense black fog surged out, clashing with Nalan Hong’s assault. Lin Feng had thought he was doomed, but the confrontation between Nalan Hong and the black mist world actually aided him. The terrifying oppression bearing down on him lessened, and Lin Feng quickly circulated the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique.

Under the operation of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, all the oppressive forces dissipated like smoke, and Lin Feng seized the opportunity to rush into the black mist world.

Hum.

Within the black mist world, a terrifying surge of demonic Qi swept out, shattering Nalan Hong’s attack and sweeping towards him.

“Break.”

Nalan Hong roared, waving his right hand, summoning divine skills to strike the demonic Qi, but the surge of demonic Qi was too frightening and sent Nalan Hong flying once more.

Vomiting blood profusely, Nalan Hong saw the demonic Qi sweeping towards him again and frantically fled into the distance, narrowly avoiding the demonic Qi’s assault.

“Too terrifying.”

Many of the cultivators who had rushed over showed moved expressions. The Lake of Death was truly enigmatic; just a surge of demonic Qi had almost killed a strong practitioner of the Yin Yang Realm.

The surge of demonic Qi eventually flew back into the black mist world. Nalan Hong’s expression was very grim. Clenching his teeth, he also charged towards the black mist world. The terrible oppression overwhelmed him, but he successfully resisted it. This person’s cultivation was exceptionally strong. He broke through the oppression of the black mist world and charged in.

Some cultivators said, “It looks like that kid is definitely doomed.”

“Being pursued by such a formidable figure, indeed, it’s a narrow escape from death. Do these two people have a grudge?”

“Perhaps they do have a grudge… But if it were just hatred, surely Nalan Hong wouldn’t go to such lengths. I suspect that kid must have something that has piqued Nalan Hong’s interest.”

Many cultivators were discussing amongst themselves, not dispersing but looking towards the depths from the periphery of the Lake of Death.

“Pfft! Pfft!”

Sounds of flesh being pierced echoed.

Lin Feng looked at his body with a wry smile; even despair appeared on his face because he didn’t know what power had pierced his physical body, and his blood had almost dyed him a blood man.

“Am I going to die here?” Lin Feng murmured.

“Hehehehe…” Not far away, a sinister laugh sounded out. Lin Feng looked over and saw a thin old man in a black robe, the source of that ominous and terrifying voice.

The old man glanced at Lin Feng, their gazes meeting, and Lin Feng felt as if he was about to fall into Endless Purgatory.

“What a terrifying presence, is he an Evil Demon Expert?” Lin Feng was startled, and he even worried that the Old Demon would eat him. Lin Feng had heard that some Evil Demon Experts liked to refine cultivators’ blood and essence to improve themselves. But he quickly realized he was overthinking; the Old Demon had only glanced at Lin Feng before turning his head and continuing to walk deeper, completely disregarding Lin Feng’s existence. That gaze was like looking at an ant; normal people wouldn’t bother with an ant either.

Lin Feng let out a wry smile. Being weak really made one looked down upon.

“This Old Demon wasn’t attacked.” Lin Feng was slightly surprised. Gritting his teeth, he walked towards where the Old Demon had been standing. Lin Feng suddenly noticed dozens more blood holes in his body, and finally, he arrived where the Old Demon had stood. There, Lin Feng felt a terrifying twisting force; it seemed to isolate him from the mysterious power that was piercing through flesh in the black mist world.

“Is this the power emanating from within the Old Demon’s body? He is truly terrifying,” Lin Feng followed the path the Old Demon had taken towards the depths. He wasn’t attacked again, and eventually, he found himself by a pitch-black lake. It was incredibly eerie; it was the first time Lin Feng saw such an immense lake with pitch-black water.

The Old Demon stood on the shore, his ghastly green eyes gazing into the depths of the lake. Lin Feng didn’t know what the Old Demon was watching, but he occasionally let out a series of chilling, ghostly laughs that were terribly unpleasant to hear, sending shivers down Lin Feng’s spine.
