Lin Feng looked over and saw an old acquaintance, Xue Zangxian. He also walked out from another teleportation array, and besides Xue Zangxian, there were more than a dozen cultivators, evidently all comrades of Xue Zangxian.
This group of people came over, and Xue Zangxian smiled and said, "Yibing, I never thought Iâd see you here. Where are you headed?"
"There are some matters I need to attend to," Xuu Yibing said indifferently. She was naturally cold, and now she was deliberately distancing herself from Xue Zangxian, not wanting Lin Feng to misunderstand.
Xue Zangxian could feel this, so his expression slightly darkened.
Lin Feng laughed and said, "Isnât this Brother Xue? I remember not long ago, Brother Xue was pursuing the Demon Clanâs Fenng Yaorao. How come now youâre after Immortal Xuu? Brother Xue, your ability to change your heart is truly admirable."
Xue Zangxianâs face instantly turned extremely ugly. He hadnât managed to win over Xuu Yibing, and now that Lin Feng exposed his past, it seemed even less likely he had a chance.
Already harboring a murderous intent toward Lin Feng, Xue Zangxian wished he could tear Lin Feng to pieces right now to vent his hatred.
But as a top Heavenly Pride of the Devouring Sky Demon Toad clan, Xue Zangxianâs mindset was not like ordinary peopleâs. He suppressed his anger and murderous intent, saying with a forced smile, "A fair lady is a gentlemanâs pursuit, whatâs wrong with that? However, as I know, Brother Lin seems to have many women."
Lin Feng said calmly, "It seems Brother Xue sure knows a lot about me. So what if I have a few confidants? Immortal Xuu doesnât mind, so why are you, a person unrelated to me, so concerned? Mind your own business, will you?"
Hearing Lin Fengâs mockery, Xue Zangxianâs expression became as dark as water. He turned to Xuu Yibing and said, "Yibing, Iâve heard Heartless Island intends for you to marry this man. You should think twice. Heâs not a good person."
Lin Feng sneered and said, "Whether Iâm a good person or not, and whether I marry Immortal Xuu, thatâs a private matter between me and Immortal Xuu. Who do you think you are to meddle? Calling you Brother Xue is showing you respect. Donât push it."
"Kid, how dare you talk to me like that?" Xue Zangxianâs cold eyes turned to Lin Feng.
"Donât take yourself too seriously; the world keeps turning without anyone," Lin Feng scoffed with a cold smile.
"Some people think they have some strength, so they act recklessly, not knowing their limits. If people like this arenât taught a lesson, wonât it overturn the entire order of cultivator society?"
Xue Zangxian stepped forward, looking coldly at Lin Feng.
"If you have the courage, three days from now, meet me at the central square stage for a duel. Iâll wait for you there. If you want to be a coward, you can choose to leave."
...
"Xue Zangxian challenged Lin Feng?"
...
The surrounding cultivators, who had long recognized Xue Zangxian and Lin Feng, exclaimed as they saw Xue Zangxian challenge Lin Feng.
One was a long-established Supreme Heavenly Pride.
One was a newly ascended Supreme Heavenly Pride.
If these two fought, it would surely be a fierce battle, attracting countless eyes.
"The day outside the Demon Clan Territory, you and the Evil Demon Dragon attacked me together. That score should be settled. Clean your neck; in three days, Iâll come and slay you," Lin Feng said domineeringly, his cold eyes on Xue Zangxian.
Everyone was surprised, not expecting Lin Feng and Xue Zangxian to have such a grudge.
Xue Zangxian sneered, "You should prepare yourself a coffin."
Xue Zangxian and his group left quickly.
Lin Feng and his five companions also didnât linger, heading towards the central area of the island.
Xuu Yibing said, "Xue Zangxian shone brightly in the Heavenly Pride Battle ten years ago, becoming a Supreme Heavenly Pride. This time in the Heavenly Pride Battlefield, itâs said he found great fortune, even more terrifying than ten years ago..."
Xuu Yibing didnât persuade Lin Feng to abandon the fight, but in effect, her words implied cautioning Lin Feng against a life-and-death battle with Xue Zangxian.
Xue Zangxian was too terrifying.
However, Xuu Yibing was meticulous and feared that directly persuading Lin Feng might cause displeasure, so she hinted indirectly.
"Better to stand and die than to kneel and live. I support you..."
Sun Yiyi had an excited expression, eager as if she wanted to take Lin Fengâs place in the battle against Xue Zangxian.
Lin Feng said, "As I said before, I need to resolve the feud between myself and Xue Zangxian. Now, itâs the best time."
Xuu Yibing nodded and didnât say more.
Every Supreme Heavenly Pride had their dignity.
These Supreme Heavenly Prides often acted according to their will, and it was difficult for others to change their minds.
Lin Feng and his companions found an upscale inn to stay in; the environment was elegant with many courtyards.
The news of Lin Fengâs imminent life-and-death duel with Xue Zangxian quickly spread in the second cultivator gathering area, naturally drawing attention.
Both Lin Feng and Xue Zangxian were prominent figures in the younger generation.
Such Supreme Heavenly Prides rarely engage in life-and-death duels.
So the battle between Lin Feng and Xue Zangxian caused a huge sensation.
This matter quickly spread from the second cultivator gathering area to various parts of the East Sea, with many forces getting the news and coming by teleportation array.
After Lin Feng purchased some needed array formation materials, he began adjusting his state.
Xue Zangxian is an extremely terrifying existence. How could a Supreme Heavenly Pride from ten years ago be a simple character?
Most importantly, Xue Zangxian was one hundred percent pure bloodline.
Lin Feng, to this day, only has about thirty percent Undying Divine Blood.
Itâs rumored that Xue Zangxian has fought thousands of battles, but he has only activated his one hundred percent pure bloodline three times.
And in those three times, the first time he slew a cultivator five realms higher than him, the second he slew one eight realms higher, and the third, twelve realms higher.
This shows that Xue Zangxianâs mastery over his pure bloodline is growing stronger.
Therefore, Xue Zangxian is extremely terrifying, and there are many rumors outside speculating whether Lin Feng will become the fourth strong opponent Xue Zangxian slays by activating his pure bloodline.
However, many also believe Lin Feng will ultimately win this battle because Lin Feng has stepped over Murong Heavenly God, his talent unmatched. Although he has spent less time cultivating than Xue Zangxian, Lin Fengâs mastery of divine skills is formidable, and he is the heir of the Heavenly Master Dao, which is his trump card.
While the outside world was abuzz with speculation about this battle, Sun Yiyi came to the door of the room where Lin Feng was in seclusion and knocked, saying, "Lin Feng, someone has come to see you, and youâll never guess who it is."
Sitting cross-legged in the room in meditation, Lin Feng opened his eyes.
