"So strong!"
"Th-This—who said he was at the Eighth Stage of the Blood-Shifting Realm? What Blood-Shifting Realm cultivator could unleash Sword Qi this terrifying? Probably only the Ten Great Sequences could do it!"
"Damn it... If I'd known, I wouldn't have come."
Peerless sword light descended, sweeping away everything in its path.
Among this batch of Inner Disciples were cultivators at the fifth and sixth stages of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, with the strongest at the Seventh Stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm!
Of course, they had not thought there would be any problem with crushing a Blood-Shifting Realm disciple.
Yet they had never expected this Blood-Shifting Realm disciple's rate of progress to far exceed their imagination.
Before the sword light containing Seventh-Layer Sword Intent, this group of disciples' resistance was simply futile.
No matter what methods they used, no matter what realm they were in, they could not escape the same fate—their weapons were severed, and hundreds of bloody marks appeared across their bodies.
Boom!
Countless disciples coughed up blood, their eyes wide.
At this moment, they gained a clear understanding of Lin Feng's strength.
With strength like this, he likely possessed the combat power of the Seventh Stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, or even the eighth stage!
How was this different from the information they had received?
The Sword Qi had already vanished, but the scene remained a complete mess.
Lin Feng gazed calmly at the disciples sprawled on the ground and wailing, his eyes utterly unmoved.
Yet inwardly, he was somewhat excited.
Is this the power of Seventy-Percent Sword Intent?
He had not even used any sword technique, and his longsword was utterly ordinary, without any rank at all!
Yet with a single strike, he had swept through so many Sea of Reincarnation Realm disciples, including some as strong as the sixth stage.
Lin Feng continued forward, quickly approaching the Inner Disciples he had swept aside.
Someone sharp-eyed saw Lin Feng approaching, and his heart trembled. This man was so powerful, and he looked like the sort who killed without blinking!
Though Inner Disciples were forbidden from killing each other, crippling one of their arms was not a problem.
And Lin Feng had just reached the group of disciples.
A disciple immediately said in a trembling voice, "Senior Brother, please be magnanimous! I was only lured here by others. If I had known you were so strong, even if you gave me a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't dare offend you!"
Lin Feng's presence was overwhelmingly oppressive. Simply standing there made people feel as though they could not breathe.
Coupled with the terrifying power of Lin Feng's earlier sword strike, even more people feared that he would cripple them, and pleas for mercy rang throughout the area.
The chattering pleas made Lin Feng frown.
It was truly too boring to waste energy arguing with these lackeys.
He only wanted to cultivate as quickly as possible!
"Don't block the way," Lin Feng said blandly.
Many of them froze at first, their hearts leaping into their throats. They thought Lin Feng was about to unleash some peerless divine might again, and their bodies trembled. It felt as though they were not facing a disciple who had just entered the inner sect at all, but a disciple from the genius rankings!
Someone stood up, intending to try and flee.
But Lin Feng suddenly remembered that these people had come and wasted his time. If he did not take some compensation from them—
That would be letting them off far too cheaply.
His cold voice sounded again.
"Wait."
The hearts of the many disciples trembled. No matter how fast they were, they stopped in their tracks. After all, could they possibly be faster than Lin Feng's sword light?
Recalling that earlier display of might, no one dared defy Lin Feng's command.
"Leave behind all the Origin Stones on you," Lin Feng said flatly, his tone leaving no room for doubt!
Bitter expressions appeared on many disciples' faces. Origin Stones were essential for cultivation. Why had they wanted to come seize Lin Feng's cultivation cave?
Was it not so they could cultivate faster and raise their realms?
Origin Stones had exactly that effect.
But once Lin Feng spoke, no one dared refuse.
Clatter, clatter.
Immediately, many disciples searched through themselves for Origin Stones. Under Lin Feng's sharp gaze, these Inner Disciples did not dare hide any away, taking out every Origin Stone they possessed.
One after another.
Lin Feng counted carefully. The Origin Stones contributed by these Inner Disciples totaled more than two hundred thousand.
The amount was quite considerable!
Of course, it was also the entirety of these disciples' fortunes.
"Scram."
Lin Feng waved his hand. They had no value left to him, and he could not be bothered with them.
The many Inner Disciples felt as though they had received a pardon and hurriedly fled. Yet before leaving, some looked reluctantly at the spatial ring in Lin Feng's hand. Their entire fortunes were in there!
"If you refuse to accept this, you may challenge me anytime," Lin Feng suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, the disciples fled even faster. Challenge him?
This man's Sword Qi was terrifying to an outrageous degree, and no one knew how far his strength had reached. Even an eighth-stage Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator might not be able to suppress him steadily. What kind of bear-hearted, leopard-gutted fool would challenge him? Did they no longer want to live?
Very quickly, all the Inner Disciples left, and the surroundings became quiet.
Holding the many spatial rings in his hand, Lin Feng's eyes flickered.
When it came down to it, these disciples were good people—they had taken the initiative to deliver Origin Stones to his door.
Together with the two hundred thousand Origin Stones Song Yiling had given him earlier—
His additional gains in Origin Stones had already reached four hundred thousand!
It could be said that Lin Feng's current wealth, among ordinary disciples without a Venerable Realm background, already made him a true tycoon. If he went outside, people might even set their sights on him!
"I need to cultivate faster. The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body craves heaven and earth's Origin Energy every moment," Lin Feng thought as he entered his cultivation cave directly.
Sitting cross-legged, he counted the Origin Stones on his person. The number had exceeded one million!
With a casual wave, he released hundreds of thousands of Origin Stones. In an instant, the Origin Energy inside the cave became so dense it seemed ready to explode.
Lin Feng immediately activated the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. His hundred acupoints opened wide, and every pore across his body absorbed Origin Energy with all its might!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Lin Feng now resembled a massive black hole, absorbing all the heaven and earth Origin Energy around him!
The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body possessed surging blood energy that towered to the heavens, but that blood energy also required Origin Energy to sustain it. With more than a million Origin Stones, how long would it take to absorb them all?
Lin Feng entered closed-door cultivation.
Meanwhile, news of his deeds spread through a small circle. After all, he had swept through numerous Inner Disciples with one sword strike, including many cultivators at the fifth and sixth stages of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. Even an eighth-stage Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator might not be able to achieve such a feat, yet Lin Feng had done it!
Several days later.
Three more disciples entered the inner sect!
These three had participated in the disciple examination. They were Xu Jun, Chen Yunjing, and Wei Changfeng. The moment Xu Jun entered the inner sect, battle intent surged in his eyes. After losing to Lin Feng, he had cultivated with utmost diligence and requested a powerful cultivation method from his Lineage elders. Now that he had made minor mastery of it, his strength had risen greatly!
Having now entered the inner sect through their Lineage's connections, the first thing Xu Jun and the other two thought of was revenge—defeating Lin Feng!
Very quickly, after wandering about, the three found a nearby Inner Disciple. This Inner Disciple had a gaunt face and was at the fifth stage.
Xu Jun shouted, "Do you know a man named Lin Feng? He just entered the inner sect. Where is he?"
At the mention of Lin Feng's name, this Inner Disciple's body stiffened.
Lin Feng? How could he forget him, when he had just been crushed by him a few days ago!
Xu Jun and the other two noticed the expression on this Inner Disciple's face. Xu Jun knew that this man definitely knew Lin Feng, and perhaps even had some connection to him.
