Evil Tiger Heart-Plucking Palm

The saber light came crashing down, and a spray of blood burst forth.

Zhao Tianhao's head rolled across the ground, his face frozen in incredulous terror and venomous resentment.

Suppressing Zhao Family Head Zhao Tianhao, obtained 10 Slaughter Points

Current Slaughter Points: 10

A cold prompt surfaced in Lin Feng's mind, bringing with it a chill of harvest.

He stood with his saber in hand, his gaze sweeping across the deathly silent courtyard before finally settling on the ashen-faced Commander Wang.

"Lin Feng! You... How dare you commit murder right in front of me!"

Commander Wang trembled with rage. He pointed at Lin Feng, his voice shrill with fury.

He had never imagined that, even after he had explicitly ordered Lin Feng to stop, Lin Feng would still dare to brazenly strike the killing blow!

This was not merely the killing of Zhao Tianhao. It was also trampling his dignity and the authority of the Wang Family beneath his feet!

"Traitors to the nation deserve to be executed by all." Lin Feng shook the beads of blood from his blade, his tone frighteningly calm. "Commander Wang, you're in such a hurry to protect him. Could it be that you're also involved in the Zhao Family's treasonous dealings with the enemy?"

"Outrageous!" Commander Wang roared, the veins on his forehead throbbing. "Sharp tongue! Today, I'll personally capture you, you madman, and uphold the law of the nation!"

Before his voice had even faded, Commander Wang's aura exploded with a boom, his powerful true qi billowing his robes.

As an Imperial Brocade Guard Commander, he was a genuine Seventh-Rank Martial Artist—more than an entire major realm above Lin Feng, who had only just broken through to the Eighth Rank!

That immense pressure seemed almost tangible, pressing down on the surviving Zhao Family servants and onlookers until they could barely breathe.

"Die for me!" Commander Wang shaped two fingers like a saber. With a sharp whistle that tore through the air, he thrust straight for Lin Feng's throat.

His first move was already a killing move. Clearly, he had resolved to kill Lin Feng.

"You insignificant ant. Do you think that lucking your way into the Eighth Rank means you can overturn the heavens?

"Today, I'll show you what it means for official law to be a furnace, and what an uncrossable chasm is!"

Commander Wang's attacks came like a raging tide, and he sneered repeatedly, mocking Lin Feng to the utmost.

Lin Feng swung his saber to block, and the Sky-Rending Star-Shattering Saber slashed out with fierce force.

"Clang!"

The explosive clash of metal rang out.

Lin Feng felt an irresistible force surge through the saber. His tiger's mouth split open instantly, blood flowing freely.

The long saber nearly flew from his grasp. His entire body staggered backward seven or eight steps, completely beyond his control. His qi and blood churned, and a sweetness rose in his throat; he nearly spat out blood.

The suppression of realms was laid bare at this moment.

Commander Wang pressed his advantage without mercy. His body drew close like a ghost, and palm winds and fist shadows came crashing down from every direction.

Relying on the Sky-Rending Star-Shattering Saber, Lin Feng struggled to hold his ground. Though his saber light was sharp, it had no way to completely pierce the opponent's thick true-qi defense.

"Pfft!"

Caught off guard, Lin Feng was struck in the shoulder by a heavy palm from Commander Wang.

His bones gave off a teeth-grating crack. His entire body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, slamming hard into the artificial hill in the courtyard as shattered rocks flew everywhere.

"Cough, cough..." Lin Feng knelt on one knee, bracing himself on his saber. Blood spilled from his mouth, and his face turned deathly pale.

A piercing pain came from his shoulder blade. Clearly, he had suffered a severe injury.

"That's all you've got?" Commander Wang stood with his hands behind his back, his bearing arrogant and his eyes contemptuous. "A waste will always be a waste! Without the skin of the Imperial Brocade Guard, you're nothing! I'll send you down to keep Zhao Tianhao company!"

The aura of death drew near once more.

Lin Feng's eyes sharpened like an eagle's, and his consciousness sank into his mind.

Current Slaughter Points: 10

Without the slightest hesitation, he focused on another martial art: Evil Tiger Heart-Plucking Palm.

This palm technique was the Fierce Tiger Gang's guardian martial art. He had not yet had time to practice it, and it was still at the Uninitiated realm.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time.

"Consume 10 Slaughter Points to raise Evil Tiger Heart-Plucking Palm!"

Slaughter Points -10, *Evil Tiger Heart-Plucking Palm* begins to advance... Uninitiated → Entry → Minor Mastery → Major Mastery!

Unlike the qualitative transformation when Wind Breaking Saber Technique evolved into Sky-Rending Star-Shattering Saber, this time it was a pure quantitative accumulation erupting after reaching its utmost limit!

All kinds of methods for channeling force, techniques for exerting strength, and the sinister, vicious essence of Evil Tiger Heart-Plucking Palm surged into Lin Feng's consciousness as if poured into his head, merging perfectly in an instant!

A faint layer of dark-black Baleful Intent surfaced over his palm, while his fingertips seemed to contain enough force to pierce metal and stone.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Commander Wang's killing move had already reached him!

Lin Feng suddenly raised his head, murderous light blazing in his eyes like a ferocious tiger driven into a desperate corner.

He did not retreat but advanced instead. His left palm shot out strangely, five fingers curling into claws, Baleful Intent filling his palm. Striking later yet arriving first, it thrust straight for Commander Wang's heart!

Evil Tiger Heart-Plucking Palm—Major Mastery: Evil Tiger Heart-Plucking!

"What?!" Commander Wang's expression changed drastically. He sensed a fatal threat from this palm!

The sharp palm wind actually made his protective true qi sting!

He hurriedly changed his move, turning offense into defense as he crossed both arms before his chest to block.

"Boom!"

Palm and arms collided with a muffled thunderclap.

A sinister and treacherous force pierced into his body. Commander Wang grunted and was shaken backward again and again, his arms numb with pain and his heart filled with terror.

Lin Feng rose with the momentum. The injury in his shoulder seemed to have been temporarily suppressed by his intense concentration and the breakthrough of his palm technique.

He held his saber in his right hand, saber qi cold and ominous. His left palm was slightly raised, Baleful Intent swirling around it. His aura was utterly different from moments before.

Commander Wang steadied himself. Looking at Lin Feng, whose aura was weak yet whose battle intent soared, he showed an expression of disbelief for the first time.

"You... You were actually hiding a palm technique like this?!" His eyes flickered with doubt and alarm before being replaced by even deeper venom. "Good, good, good! It seems you have quite a few secrets on you!

"But you think a palm technique you've broken through with at the last moment can let you contend with me? Dream on!"

The two clashed again.

Saber light and palm shadows spun through the air, force surging in every direction.

This time, Lin Feng was no longer beaten passively as before.

At the Major Mastery realm, Evil Tiger Heart-Plucking Palm was treacherous and vicious, specializing in breaking through protective true qi. Combined with the sharp dominance of the Sky-Rending Star-Shattering Saber, it actually matched Commander Wang blow for blow. For the moment, neither could gain the upper hand!

The more Commander Wang fought, the more alarmed he became. He discovered that, despite his Seventh-Rank cultivation, he truly could not take down this boy who had only just broken through to the Eighth Rank in a short time!

His opponent's saber and palm techniques were both extraordinarily strange and powerful. The palm technique in particular wielded sinister Baleful Intent that was impossible to guard against.

"You little bastard! Do you think this means you can stay alive?" Commander Wang failed to break through his defenses after attacking for so long, and impatience churned in his heart. He cursed aloud, "I'd like to see how long you can last with that meager true qi of a mere Eighth-Rank Martial Artist!

"Once you're exhausted, I'll skin you and pull out your tendons, leaving you unable to live or die!"

Lin Feng clenched his teeth and remained silent, merely driving his saber and palm to their limits.

He knew Commander Wang was right. The difference in realms still existed, and he would inevitably suffer in a prolonged battle. He had to find an opening and kill him in one strike!

Just as he focused all his attention on finding a chance, the cold prompt once again appeared in his mind without warning:

Suppressing Commander Wang will yield 15 Slaughter Points

The scarlet words, carrying a fatal temptation, were clearly branded deep within Lin Feng's consciousness.

Fifteen Slaughter Points!

Commander Wang... had to die!

The killing intent in Lin Feng's eyes instantly climbed to its peak.

In Lin Feng's eyes, Commander Wang was no longer a powerful opponent, but a rich "resource" that had to be seized!
