Peerless Martial God - C23 The Shadow of Terror

3Hou Qing’s other hand was clutching his severed arm, and fresh blood continuously flowed out from his palm. And his bloodcurdling face made him look extremely terrifying.    

    

“You’re so lucky.” Hou Qing stared at Lin Feng creepily. At this moment, he still did not believe that Lin Feng had the strength to defeat him. Lin Feng was just lucky, as the moment when he swung his sword was the moment when he was unable to resist. Not only did Hou Qing think this way, many outer sect disciples also had similar thoughts. They did not believe that the trash Lin Feng could defeat Hou Qing in one strike.    

    

“I was lucky?” Lin Feng was taken aback for a moment before he chuckled. Perhaps …    

    

“Next time, I won’t give you another chance.” Hou Qing staggered towards the crowd. He was seriously injured after having one of his arms cut off, and needed to be treated as soon as possible.    

    

“I hope there won’t be a next time.” Lin Feng shook his head in his heart. Hou Qing didn’t know how he was defeated and believed that Hou Qing was just lucky. With this kind of mentality, he would definitely not win against him in the future.    

    

“You even dare to injure the enforcers? It seems you don’t even respect the Cloud Sea Sect anymore.” Mo Ye charged Lin Feng of another crime.    

    

Looking at Mo Ye, Lin Feng sneered, “He who has a mind to beat a dog will easily find a stick. According to what you meant, you think I should have him cut my arm off and be expelled from the Cloud Sea Sect to respect the Cloud Sea Sect? Don’t you think that this is ridiculous? Elder!”    

    

Lin Feng emphasized the word ‘Elder’. Mo Ye wanted to cut off his arm and expel him out of the sect, and he wanted him to respect Cloud Sea Sect. Lin Feng truly admired Mo Ye that he can speak such ridiculous words.    

    

“Sect Master, can I say a few words for myself?” Lin Feng no longer looked at Mo Ye. The one who had the final say was Nangong Ling.    

    

A hint of interest appeared in Nangong Ling’s eyes. He was truly interested in Lin Feng. From the beginning till the end, he was not humble nor arrogant, and he was calm and collected, which was what martial cultivators needed.    

    

“Speak.” Nangong Ling nodded.    

    

“Sect Master, I was summoned here. As soon as I arrived, the Elder wanted to charge me of crimes and said that I was a degenerate and a scum of the sect. I spoke something to defend myself, but the Elder insulted me, saying that if I go against the Elder, he should cut off my arm, and expel me out of the sect. I wanted to ask that if the conviction in the sect was decided by the Elder, and if the word of the Elder alone can decide the sect’s law enforcement. ”    

    

Lin Feng’s sharp words were spat out from his mouth, causing the crowd to mumble to themselves that this fellow had truly gone mad.    

    

“How dare you.” A strong aura locked onto Lin Feng. Mo Ye wanted nothing more than to kill Lin Feng on the spot.    

    

“If I am not bold, I will be crippled. Moreover, I will be expelled from the sect. Why not I be bold and ask the Elder where my crime came from?” Lin Feng was unafraid as he confronted Mo Ye.    

    

“Bastard, you injured your brothers and insulted your Elders. Do you not dare to admit it?” Lin Qian coldly snorted.    

    

“So that’s how it is.” Lin Feng laughed coldly, “It seems that the Elder gave me the conviction because of her.”    

    

“So what?” The killing intent in Mo Ye’s heart became more and more intense. Even if Lin Qian and Chu Zhenpeng didn’t deal with Lin Feng, he still wanted Lin Feng dead.    

    

“Haha, since the Elder has admitted it, I would like to ask the Elder in front of the Sect Master. You gave me the conviction because of her word, but you don’t want to hear my explanation. Are you the Elder of Cloud Sea Sect or the Elder of Bright Moon Sect?”    

    

“What a sharp-tongued guy. You even dare to insult an inner sect Elder like me. I’ll eliminate your cultivation right now and expel you out of my sect.” Mo Ye couldn’t bear it any longer and allowed Lin Feng to continue speaking, or his brilliance would be completely destroyed.    

    

“Justice is in everyone’s heart. I am only an outer sect disciple. If you want to eliminate my cultivation, you only need to do it. You don’t need to charge me of those unwarranted crimes.” While Lin Feng was speaking, his gaze was still fixated on Nangong Ling.    

    

If Nangong Ling stopped Mo Ye, he would still be a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect. If Nangong Ling let Mo Ye eliminate his cultivation, he would then tell Mo Ye about the matter of the drum bell and the cliff. But even if he escaped danger, he would no longer be a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect. If the sect didn’t want him, he didn’t want the sect too. Lin Feng didn’t have that thought of servility.    

    

Everything happened in a flash of a thought by Nangong Ling.    

    

Mo Ye’s footsteps got closer and closer.    

    

Nangong Ling noticed Lin Feng’s gaze and his eyes also looked at Lin Feng.    

    

“This child has a firm will. He remains calm in the face of such a dangerous situation. In addition, his talent is not bad, and after a few years, he might be able to enter the inner sect or even become a core disciple.”    

    

As an inner sect Elder, Mo Ye’s achievements in the Martial Dao are not weak, and his talent is not bad, so he can still improve in the future. Although he was at fault for what happened today, he is still an inner sect Elder. Besides, he is the son of Mo Canglan.”    

    

Nangong Ling though about lots of things in this moment. As the head of a sect, he had to clearly distinguish between the pros and cons. If it was beneficial to the sect, he would do it; if it was detrimental to the sect, he would not do it .    

    

Of course, he knew that this was all Mo Ye’s fault, but the problem was that if he stopped Mo Ye, it would be equivalent to humiliating Mo Ye. Besides, he must care about the face of Mo Canglan. After all, Mo Canglan was the Great Elder of the sect, and made distinguished contributions to Cloud Sea Sect.    

    

In contrast, Lin Feng, who had potential, still appeared somewhat insignificant.    

    

The silence of Nangong Ling made Lin Feng smile ironically in his heart. He sneered at his ignorance. He had only defeated Hou Qing, who was ranked tenth in the outer sect. He was still an outer sect disciple, while Mo Ye was an inner sect Elder, so how could Nangong Ling humiliate Mo Ye for him?    

    

Only by possessing great strength could he prevent himself from getting into danger.    

    

“Foolish brat.” Mo Ye wasn’t far from Lin Feng, and his gloomy voice directly entered Lin Feng’s ears. On his face, there was a cold sneer containing killing intent. A mere outer sect disciple actually dared to oppose him, how reckless.    

    

“Lin Feng is finished.” The crowd silently exclaimed in their hearts. However, this fellow had brought this upon himself.    

    

“What a pity, I can’t eliminate him cultivation with my own hands.” Lin Qian laughed coldly. This outcome was somewhat unexpected, but it was the same since Lin Feng was going to die anyway.    

    

A powerful aura pressed down on Lin Feng’s body, causing his hair to stand on end as he opened his mouth to speak. However, at this moment, the chill that had locked onto him suddenly disappeared without a trace.    

    

“Hmm?” Lin Feng was stunned. He was slightly surprised. Why did this chill suddenly disappear? Moreover, it disappeared so completely.    

    

Mo Ye wasn’t far from Lin Feng, but at this moment, he stopped his steps. His pupils crazily enlarged, as if he had seen something unbelievable. At the same time, an irresistible pressure fell on his body.    

    

Just when many people didn’t understand why Mo Ye stopped, Nangong Ling and Mo Canglan’s eyes turned cold as they revealed looks of shock.    

    

“That’s …” Lin Feng’s gaze froze on Mo Ye. Similarly, his eyes revealed intense shock. He almost couldn’t believe his own eyes.    

    

“I’m not mistaken.” Lin Feng’s eyes widened as he stared at Mo Ye’s body. There was a shadow there that took the shape of a human. Moreover, he could move. Even if Mo Ye didn’t move, the shadow would still move.    

    

It was a shadow, a real shadow of human being.    

    

But the most terrifying thing was that Lin Feng could only see the shadow, and he could not see where the person was. He could not see the owner of the shadow.    

    

Lin Feng wasn’t the only one who noticed it. Seeing the abnormal behavior of Mo Ye and the sect master, the crowd also noticed the shadow on Mo Ye’s body, or, his figure.    

    

“Scram back.” A hoarse voice rang out from the void. There was only voice, and the speaker was nowhere to be seen.    

    

This strange scene caused many people to break out in a cold sweat. This mysterious figure that appeared out of thin air deeply shook the hearts of the crowd.
