Chapter 543 - 543 543 The Terrifying Young Hall Master

Chapter 543: Chapter 543: The Terrifying Young Hall Master Chapter 543: Chapter 543: The Terrifying Young Hall Master “Deputy Hall Master! Save me!”

The dagger’s cold light flickered, brimming with a chilling aura, frightening the Tianji Realm expert into a panicked shout.

The moment Feng Wuchen’s dagger slashed across the Tianji Realm expert’s neck, he felt his body eerily freeze for half a second. Half a second later, the dagger inexplicably skimmed the edge of the expert’s neck.

Feng Wuchen stared in shock at the dagger and the Tianji Realm expert’s neck, his eyes widening in an instant.

How could a mistake have occurred?

Feng Wuchen’s swordsmanship had reached perfection; he couldn’t possibly have failed!

Yi Tianqing and Liu Qingyang both widened their eyes with expressions of extreme astonishment. They too couldn’t believe that Feng Wuchen could make such a mistake.

Especially when the Tianji Realm expert was utterly defenseless!

“What happened?” Feng Wuchen was both puzzled and shocked.

Feng Wuchen furrowed his brows deeply, thinking to himself, “What was that sensation just now? Something must have happened in that instant.”

The event that had occurred in that fleeting moment was too strange; Feng Wuchen only had a vague sensation, but he had no idea what had actually happened.

Yi Tianqing and the others didn’t even feel anything, as if nothing had happened at all.

“Deputy Hall Master! Hurry, save me! Save me!”

Realizing he was still alive, the Tianji Realm expert was overjoyed and couldn’t stop shouting excitedly.

After the failed strike, Feng Wuchen did not make another move.

“Deputy Hall Master?” Feng Wuchen’s brows were tightly knitted, his expression grave, as he warily surveyed his surroundings.

If the one who had intervened was indeed the Divine Palace’s Deputy Hall Master, how terrifyingly powerful must that person be?

But if it wasn’t someone pulling strings from the shadows, Feng Wuchen would never have failed.

The bottom of the cliff was eerily quiet, and the air was filled with a strange atmosphere.

Ling Xiaoxiao and the others also sensed that something was amiss; there must be a formidable power lurking in the shadows.

“This person’s cultivation level must be at least above the fifth level of the Tianji Realm!” Feng Wuchen thought to himself with a frown.

One second there was silence, but the next, a figure mysteriously appeared behind Feng Wuchen, and he was completely unaware of it.

Feng Wuchen was utterly unaware!

“Brother Feng, behind you!” Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted out.

At her words, Feng Wuchen’s complexion underwent a drastic change, his heart filled with immense shock.

If even Feng Wuchen had failed to notice, how terrifying must this person be!

“Kid, you’ve got some nerve, knowing it’s the Divine Palace and still daring to make a move,” an incredibly cold and despair-inducing voice sounded from behind Feng Wuchen.

An extreme terror pressed down on Feng Wuchen like a towering peak, almost suffocating him.

“Deputy Hall Master! Deputy Hall Master!” Hearing the familiar voice, the Tianji Realm expert was ecstatic, finally feeling completely relieved.

“You’ve been given so much time, yet you can’t even break a sealing formation,” the newcomer said icily.

The cold voice, as if coming from the eighteenth level of hell, terrified the Tianji Realm expert out of his wits.

The Tianji Realm expert explained in fear, “Deputy Hall Master, we’ve almost located the formation’s focal point. These kids took advantage of us while our power was tied up in searching for the focal point of the sealing formation, attacking us with the intent to steal the treasure!”

“Stealing the treasure?” Leng Hun’s eyes flashed with contempt as he said, “No one on this Mainland has dared to steal from me yet.”

The newcomer was none other than the Divine Palace’s Deputy Hall Master Leng Hun!

At twenty-seven or twenty-eight, Leng Hun was clad in a black, exquisite silk robe, with long hair draping over his shoulders, sword-like brows over a pair of cold and intimidating eyes, and a handsome face marked with an innate arrogance.

Leng Hun was recognized as the strongest among the top geniuses of the Mainland, heralded as a freakishly talented prodigy, acknowledged by all as the number one genius of the Mainland!

Leng Hun bore no signs of energy fluctuation, but the fact that he could appear silently behind Feng Wuchen was enough to prove how terrifying this person was.

Leng Hun held an extraordinary status; even the mighty forces of the entire Mainland, including veterans among the powerhouses, had to treat him with utmost respect and fear.

Not to mention Zhang Junlan, even the junior Pavilion Master of the Immortal Tool Pavilion didn’t qualify to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

The terror of Leng Hun was indeed something that caused the countless strong on the Mainland to tremble at the very mention of his name.

“Hall Master, be careful!” Bei Dou Yan shouted loudly, his face filled with worry.

Feng Wuchen immediately employed instant movement to flash back and retreat.

“Boom!”

“Pfft!”

However, just as Feng Wuchen’s flashing figure disappeared, a sudden explosion rang out. When he reappeared, he violently spat out a mouthful of blood and was grievously injured in the blink of an eye.

“How is this possible!” Feng Wuchen was shocked to his core. He had used instant movement, yet he was still struck by a palm from Leng Hun.

“Brother Feng!”

“Big Brother Feng!”

Ling Xiaoxiao and the others were shocked and pale; none of them had seen Leng Hun make his move.

Leng Hun was too powerful, beyond their imagination.

Even Feng Wuchen, who concealed his depths, couldn’t fathom the extent of Leng Hun’s cultivation.

“Leng Hun!” Zhang Junlan gnashed his teeth, his face twisted with fury, as a boundless killing aura enveloped him.

“So it’s Young Master Zhang from the Zhang family, the Mainland’s number one Artifact Refiner. It’s been a while, your cultivation seems to have improved quite a bit,” Leng Hun said with a teasing, faint smile as if he had only just noticed Zhang Junlan.

“I’ll kill you!” Zhang Junlan roared in rage.

“Have you lost your mind? You’re no match for him! Don’t go throwing your life away!” Yi Tianqing immediately stopped Zhang Junlan, scolding him.

“Yanran should be nearing her death, shouldn’t she?” Leng Hun asked, neither happy nor sad.

“What’s it to you?” Zhang Junlan roared back.

“If I can’t have something, no one else can either. Since Yanran is stubbornly refusing to see reason, I’ll simply have to send her on her way,” Leng Hun said with a hint of an evil smile on his lips.

“You’re absolutely insane!” Ling Xiaoxiao cursed angrily.

“Insane?” Leng Hun glanced at Ling Xiaoxiao and scoffed with a cold smile, “Foolish!”

The chilly gaze turned toward the seriously injured Feng Wuchen; Leng Hun commanded, “It seems you have quite the research on formations. I’ll give you three days to break the seal formation, or else you die.”

Feng Wuchen’s brows furrowed deeply as he responded coldly, “Are you also afraid of this seal formation? No matter how strong you are, are you stronger than the power of the seal formation?”

Upon hearing this, and discerning Feng Wuchen’s implications, Leng Hun’s eyes flashed with ruthless killing intent and he sneered, “You can try!”

As Feng Wuchen began to form hand seals, Leng Hun was upon him in an instant. Before Feng Wuchen could activate the seal formation, Leng Hun’s palm struck with a thunderous blow.

This palm from Leng Hun was extremely horrific, and if struck, Feng Wuchen and the others would surely turn to ashes.

But just as Leng Hun neared in the blink of an eye, a cyan barrier suddenly condensed on the surface of Ling Xiaoxiao’s body!

Upon realization, Leng Hun’s expression changed abruptly, and the palm he had struck stopped astonishingly half an inch from the cyan barrier.

“The Divine Spirit Barrier!” Leng Hun was completely taken aback, his gaze lingering on Ling Xiaoxiao an extra moment.

By that time, Feng Wuchen’s palm had already landed on the Primordial Seal Formation beneath his feet!

“Junior Hall Master, be careful!” A Tianji Realm powerhouse screamed in terror.

“Humming!”

The seal formation vibrated violently, and an extremely terrifying primordial force spread out, causing the entire cliff and even the mountain range to shake.
