Chapter 711: Chapter 711 Joint Effort
Kawaio Inoue and the Sun God blocked Ling Fengâs path both in front and behind him, causing him considerable headache. The Sun God alone was strong enough, but with Kawaio Inoue added to the mix, Ling Fengâs only option was to flee.
đđłđŠđđ€đđŁđŻâŽđ·đŠđ.đđđ
With no choice, Ling Feng shrugged his shoulders, "Iâve said Iâm just passing by. You go ahead with your fight, and if you think Iâm in the way, Iâll leave right now, guaranteed not to disturb you!"
Kawaio Inoue squinted his eyes and said, "Do you take us for idiots? Little bug, Iâve given you a chance. If you donât reveal your purpose, Iâm going to tear you into pieces and gobble you up!"
The Sun God seriously sized up Ling Feng and suddenly said, "You must be the new apprentice of the Dragon King. Youâre here to carry out a mission for the Dragon Group, arenât you?"
The corners of Ling Fengâs mouth twitched, "Sun God, youâve got the wrong person!"
"Heh, Iâm not mistaken," the Sun God said indifferently, "Youâre trying very hard to conceal your aura, but I can still sense that powerful presence of yours. This means that even if your true strength is not on par with mine, itâs not far off! At the same time, youâre not from Fusang. Itâs clear, therefore, that such a formidable individual turning up here must be from the China Dragon Group!"
Although the Sun Godâs reasoning was full of holes, he was very confident, which rendered Ling Feng speechless.
"Since youâve figured it out, I have no need to hide anymore!" Ling Feng said gravely, and the aura he had been suppressing instantly burst forth.
Boom. The space around Ling Feng trembled subtly. Kawaio Inoue, who had been looking down on Ling Feng, couldnât help but step back several paces, his eyes now filled with shock and annoyance.
A seemingly insignificant bug that could have been easily crushed had suddenly turned into a fierce dragon crossing a river, causing Kawaio Inoue to feel extremely angry.
Ling Feng addressed the Sun God, "Sun God, since you know my identity, you should also understand my purpose. My mission is to annihilate the Kuroteng Family lineage and slay the Divine Ninja of Fusang! Hence, there is no conflict of interest between us!"
"But you Huaxia have uprooted all our bases in your land!" the Sun God said coldly. "You say thereâs no conflict?"
Ling Feng replied with a slight smile, "Great achievements are not bogged down by trifles. Sun God, with all three of our strengths being comparable, a fight wonât break out with me here! However, what you need the most right now is to secure the Fusang Divine Artifact, the Tian Cong Yun Sword. If we continue this standoff, I believe it would have a greater impact on you, wouldnât it?"
The Sun Godâs brow furrowed slightly, as Ling Fengâs words struck the core of the matter!
He was hell-bent on obtaining the Tian Cong Yun Sword, and if Ling Feng was present, none of the three would dare make a rash move for fear that the third party would reap the benefits.
"What do you suggest?" the Sun God asked lightly. "Are you proposing an alliance?"
A smile appeared on Ling Fengâs face, "Youâre truly worthy of being the Sun God. If we were to join forces, eliminating Kawaio Inoue would be a simple task. In this way, you would obtain the Divine Artifact, and I could slay the Divine Ninja of Fusang. We would all be satisfied. Wouldnât that be good?"
Upon hearing Ling Fengâs words, Kawaio Inoue turned pale with shock. If these two were to really team up, his own demise would be inevitable! Having just been released from the seal, how could he resign himself to be slain and have his Divinity consumed?
But just as he thought of slipping away, the Sun God had already silently moved behind him, locking onto his qi.
"Sun God, do you really believe what this brat says?" Kawaio Inoue said coldly, "Humans are full of deceit. If you trust him, you will regret it!"
The Sun God spoke indifferently, "I do not trust him, but I will not let you escape!"
Ling Feng furrowed his brows, listening to the twoâs conversation, somewhat perplexed. He had already deduced from earlier that the present Inoue Kawao was being controlled by the Swordâs Artifact SpiritâYamata no Orochiâmeaning that the current Inoue Kawao was in fact the Tian Cong Yun Sword!
But why did the Tian Cong Yun Sword seem so familiar with the Sun God? One must know that the Tian Cong Yun Sword has been sealed for over a thousand years!
Suddenly, a thought crossed Ling Fengâs mind, and he couldnât help but cast a doubtful glance at the Sun God.
"Whatâs your decision, Sun God?" Ling Feng said in a deep voice, "Do you choose to join forces with me to eliminate Inoue Kawao first, or will you stand by and watch him escape? If you continue to hesitate, I might have to abandon the mission for now!"
The Sun Godâs brow furrowed, he looked at Ling Feng displeasedly; Ling Fengâs words carried a strong sense of threat.
If he chose not to cooperate, he believed Ling Feng would definitely stand by and watch. By then, the one at a disadvantage would be himself!
"Detestable brat, he actually managed to grasp my bottom line so precisely!" The Sun God was furious in his heart, angry at being calculated against.
Yet he could not help but agree with Ling Fengâs proposal, because Ling Feng had the option to stand by or even abandon the mission, but he himself absolutely had to obtain the Tian Cong Yun Sword!
The Sun God glared at Ling Feng hatefully and then said solemnly, "Then letâs join forces to take down Inoue Kawao, but if you harbor any ulterior motives towards the Tian Cong Yun Sword, donât blame me for being impolite!"
Ling Feng spoke with a disdainful look, "That mere Fusang Divine Artifact is as useless as chicken ribs to me. Take it if you like; my only goal is to kill Inoue Kawao!"
"You..." Inoue Kawaoâs expression flickered unpredictably. Clutching the Tian Cong Yun Sword, his whole being was like an enraged beast, emitting an extremely dangerous aura.
"Attack!" Ling Feng and the Sun God exchanged a look, and then simultaneously charged towards Inoue Kawao.
"Utter shamelessness, despicable scoundrel!" Inoue Kawao was furious. All of them were high masters of the Demi-God Domain; why were they so shameless? If they were capable, they should fight him one-on-one. What was the meaning of this group fight?
But now was not the time for complaints. The strength of the Sun God had already firmly suppressed him, and now came Ling Feng, whose strength was no less than that of the Sun God, putting Inoue Kawao instantly on the defensive.
In just a few short minutes, Inoue Kawao was already being pressed so hard that he could hardly catch his breath, having been struck by numerous heavy punches from Ling Feng.
If it werenât for his own bodyâs formidable strength, those punches might have already turned him into a pile of mush! This guyâs fists were truly rock-hard!
"Youâre forcing my hand!" After fending off Ling Feng and the Sun God with a sword thrust, Inoue Kawao staggered back dozens of steps. He was in an extremely sorry state now, covered in many wounds, with even a blood hole appearing on his shoulderâa hole clearly made by the Bow of the Sun God!
"Divine Artifact unseal!" Inoue Kawao shouted in a deep voice. With several loud cracks, the Tian Cong Yun Sword in his hands underwent a transformation. The blade turned into nine enormous tendrils, as though a Yamata no Orochi had emerged on Inoue Kawaoâs right hand!
