Touching the Threshold of Musou Slash

Faced with Ouyang's question, Lin Feng had no mind to respond.

Although the Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon before them had been severely wounded by Ouyang, there was still a vast difference in rank between them.

"Kid, I didn't expect you to have some skill. At such a young age, you're already a Third Rank Knight. What a pity..." A trace of contempt flashed in the Wolf Demon's eyes. "What a pity you came looking for death!"

As soon as the Wolf Demon finished speaking, the wolf claw that had been blocked by Holy Light Guard exerted force once more. The barrier, which had barely held back the attack, shattered with a boom like thin ice.

Facing the Wolf Demon's attack, Lin Feng could only retreat repeatedly to dissipate the force.

That blow had left the web between Lin Feng's thumb and forefinger numb.

The Wolf Demon did not waste words. Spiritual power filled with an evil attribute began to liquefy, gradually coating its pair of sharp wolf claws.

Cold glints flashed in every direction. Even getting slightly closer gave one the sensation of being torn apart.

This Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon was clearly going for the kill. Condensing Spirit into Weapon was also a hallmark unique to the Fifth Stage.

Lin Feng did not dare underestimate it in the slightest.

The Lightning Element within him began spreading toward the Unsharpened Sword in his hand, gradually transforming it into the longsword "Musou Isshin." The Purple Lightning coursing across its blade emitted an Aura of Destruction that made even the two Fifth Stage powerhouses present feel fear.

"F-Fifth Stage? He's Fifth Stage?" Ouyang stared at the weapon in Lin Feng's hand, which had suddenly changed shape and looked exactly like Condensing Spirit into Weapon. His heart could not calm down for a long while.

Even the Wolf Demon, which had been about to attack, instinctively took a step back upon seeing this. If it encountered a Fifth Stage opponent while seriously injured, it would only be slaughtered.

But the two of them quickly rejected that absurd thought. Lin Feng could not possibly be a Fifth-Rank Knight.

When facing the Wolf Demon's previous strike, Lin Feng had clearly been unable to withstand it.

However, during the Wolf Demon's momentary distraction, Lin Feng seized the opportunity and retreated into the darkness under everyone's watchful eyes.

Using the cover of night, Lin Feng activated the Assassin Skill: Camouflage, while also activating the Illusory Radiance Spiritual Furnace's Spiritual Power Camouflage.

For a moment, Lin Feng seemed to have vanished into thin air.

The night was an assassin's domain.

As Lin Feng suddenly disappeared, fear of the unknown began spreading through the Wolf Demon's heart.

"Bastard, come out!"

The Wolf Demon fired several blades of spiritual power in succession, bombarding the surrounding area.

Yet it still had no effect.

Instead, after the Wolf Demon finished using its skill, Lin Feng appeared behind it like a ghost. At the same time, the longsword in his hand was swiftly drawn. In the blink of an eye, he cut another wound across the Wolf Demon's already injured flank.

By sheer coincidence, he also triggered the Eye of Thunderous Judgement. A purple Thunder Blade sliced through space and struck the Wolf Demon's flank once again.

The already heavily injured Wolf Demon was dealt an even worse blow, and large amounts of blue demon blood flowed from its wounds.

Enduring the tearing pain in its waist, the Wolf Demon let out an angry roar and swung its claws at Lin Feng behind it.

But after landing his strike, Lin Feng did not linger at all and disappeared into the darkness once more.

The Wolf Demon's claw struck empty air.

Roar!

The Wolf Demon roared, "Kid, come out if you've got the guts! Let's see if I don't tear you into strips!"

The Wolf Demon felt utterly stifled. It could have taken care of the opponent in a single exchange, yet it could not find him anywhere.

"Heh~" Lin Feng's mocking voice came from behind the burning wooden cabin.

"Get out here!"

The instant Lin Feng made a sound, the Wolf Demon drove its spiritual power into the burning cabin. The cabin immediately exploded into pieces.

Countless pieces of charred wood scattered across the ground.

"Heh... All you can do is rage helplessly. A Fifth Stage fighter who can't even beat a Third Rank Knight like me." Lin Feng's voice came from all directions.

"Roar, bastard!"

At this point, the Wolf Demon seemed to have gone mad, wildly attacking everything around it.

After attacking continuously for some time, the Wolf Demon let its arms hang down, lowered its head, and panted heavily.

Its openings were everywhere!

Yet Lin Feng hesitated somewhat.

He remembered Ying Suifeng saying that besides a Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon, there was also a Fourth Rank Demon Race member.

But the Fourth Rank Demon Race member had yet to appear. It was most likely lying in ambush for him.

Moreover, judging from how cautious this Wolf Demon was, after having suffered once, it clearly would not make the same mistake a second time.

At that moment, Captain Ouyang, who had been watching from the sidelines, saw the battle pause and seemed to recall something. His face turned pale with terror.

He hurriedly warned, "Little brother, don't come out. There's also a Fourth Rank Dike Clan Shadow Walker. Those beasts are skilled at invisibility, so you must be careful."

Hearing this, Lin Feng instantly understood.

But looking at the Wolf Demon before him, practically stretching out its head for him to chop off, how could he possibly refrain from attacking?

For some reason, a voice deep within his heart seemed to be telling him that as long as he swung his blade, he could sever the Wolf Demon's head!

At the moment the Wolf Demon took a breath, Lin Feng appeared at its side like a ghost.

This time, Lin Feng raised "Musou Isshin" above his head and aimed at its neck. His physical strength and spiritual power surged into his arm like a tidal wave.

Meanwhile, the Wolf Demon looked at the shadow cast onto the ground by the flames behind it. Not only was it unafraid, the corners of its mouth even curled upward.

"Kid, you can die now!" the Wolf Demon sneered sinisterly.

The instant its words fell—

A Dike Clan Shadow Walker appeared behind Lin Feng. It looked not much different from a human, except for its long, narrow face, gray skin, and forearms shaped like curved blades. Like Lin Feng, it raised the blade formed from its arm and aimed it at Lin Feng's neck!

The few people watching from afar felt their hearts leap into their throats when they saw the suddenly appearing Dike Clan Shadow Walker.

They could practically see the scene of Lin Feng being beheaded.

Ouyang was filled with endless regret. He regretted not telling Lin Feng such important information sooner.

But it was already too late.

No matter how fast he was, he could not possibly stop the Dike Clan Shadow Walker's blade after it had already been raised.

At that moment, Lin Feng looked at the Wolf Demon, which had lowered its head and exposed its neck. In an instant, he entered a state of selflessness, and the flow of time around him began to slow. Unconsciously, he recalled the moment Raiden Shogun had unleashed "Musou Slash" when he first encountered a Wolf Demon.

Looking at the Wolf Demon before him, riddled with openings, the only thing Lin Feng wanted to do now was swing this blade...

"Musou Isshin" in Lin Feng's hand seemed to sense his emotions. In an instant, the Purple Lightning on its blade surged several times stronger. Terrifying pressure spread outward from Lin Feng in all directions.

It formed a Thunder Prison more than ten meters wide.

Faced with this sudden change, the Wolf Demon, which had been so smug moments ago, was now filled with terror.

I'll die!

I'll really die!

I don't want to die!

I want to live.

Accompanied by a wolf howl, the Wolf Demon's body began to swell. Its claws turned black and became as hard as metal, while its eyes turned completely blood-red.

Even its skin had become as hard as iron.

The Wolf Demon did not hesitate to consume its bloodline power to use the skill Berserk.

Faced with the Wolf Demon's Berserk skill, Lin Feng's heart remained perfectly calm. Its openings were still as clear as ever.

Without hesitation, he swung his blade.

Without any resistance.

The Wolf Demon died peacefully, without even letting out a scream.
