Chapter 282: The Sword of Pure Qi (1/2)

“You want the beast essence fire?” Lin Feng said a bit surprised. He then coldly continued: “I obtained the essence fire when I killed Bing Yuan. If you want it, I can give it to you in exchange for something else. If you have something of worth, you can obtain it.”

“Are you trying to negotiate with me?” Tu Jiu said while smiling evilly.

“In Celestial River, almost nobody can disobey me. All the people of the Ling Qi layer who dare contradict me die. I advise you to think it over. What do you prefer, your life or the essence fire?”

When the people in the crowd heard that, they shook their heads. How brutally aggressive! That guy was at the peak of the Ling Qi layer, he was invincible below the Xuan Qi Layer. Besides, he had incredible power in Celestial River so people who dared to offend him were not high in number.

Lin Feng surprisingly dared to provoke Tu Jiu. If he didn’t accept to hand over the essence fire, he would unfortunately lose his life.

“Do you want to die, or do you want to hand over the essence fire?” Tu Jiu said, giving Lin Feng a choice.

Lin Feng was calmly standing there. He coldly glanced at Tu Jiu and said: “All those who say that they will kill me usually end up getting killed by me, for example Bing Yuan. So now, what do you prefer? Getting out of my sight, or dying here?”

“Leave or die?” Everybody was stupefied. Not only had Lin Feng not replied to Tu Jiu but he was also giving his own options. He even looked calm and frivolous.

Lin Feng was threatening Tu Jiu in Celestial River. Did Tu Jiu want to leave or did he want to die? That was audacious enough.

“You are going to die!” said Lan Jiao, who was standing behind Lin Feng. Lin Feng was insane.. Bing Yuan was very strong and was a disciple of the Ice and Snow Mountain Village, but Tu Jiu was much stronger. He was at the very summit of the Ling Qi layer. His strength was monstrously close to breaking through to the Xuan Qi Layer. Not only was Lin Feng not acting docile, but he was also threatening Tu Jiu, did he want to die?

As expected, when Tu Jiu heard Lin Feng, an evil smile appeared on his face. He then evilly said: “You are the first cultivator of the Ling Qi layer who dares to threaten me in Celestial River.”

“Therefore, your death will be brutal and painful.” Tu Jiu said while gesticulating, his smile looking ice-cold and cruel.

“Arrrghhh!” Roared Tu Jiu, sounding like a ferocious beast. Immediately after, his body transformed into a black shadow and vanished.

His right hand had transformed into a claw and he started to balance on a single foot. Tu Jiu’s claws started moving towards Lin Feng, emitting a white light which filled the atmosphere. That horrible beast like claw was going to skewer Lin Feng.

This claw was extremely fast as it rushed towards Lin Feng. It could easily skewer people’s flesh and muscles. Coming into contact with it would leave deep wounds on one’s body.

Lin Feng was going to die for having offended Tu Jiu, that was inevitable.

The crowd was silent.

Lin Feng noticed that this swift and fierce claw was moving towards him. He was a bit surprised, he had the feeling that, what he was facing at that moment was a ferocious beast, an eagle type beast.

Surplus souls appeared in the atmosphere, they all had looked like smaller versions of Lin Feng’s soul and they copied his movements. At the same time, these dark souls all slowly raised their finger and thrust towards the claw as a power emerged from these souls. Lin Feng was not dodging, on the contrary, he was attacking with a single finger.

“Cliiiing!” A subtle metallic sound spread in the atmosphere. When the claw collided with Lin Feng’s attack, they were both forced back a few steps.

Tu Jiu’s hand was still in the form of eagle claw, but in the middle of his palm, there was a red drop of blood. A moment before, Lin Feng’s finger had been perfectly accurate. Besides, it had also managed to pierce through as if it had been a sword.

Lin Feng had a mark on his hand. Even though Tu Jiu’s claw had not touched him, the power of the claw had left a mark on his hand. Besides, his fingers were feeling numb as well. Tu Jiu’s claw was extremely sharp and he was much stronger than Lin Feng assumed.

“You’re good, but as before you will die.” Tu Jiu said with an evil smile. Something strange was happening, a light flashed around his body and at that moment, it seemed like he turned into a hideous eagle with extremely sharp claws. The sight was shocking to watch.

“Eee, eeeee…” Tu Jiu was emitting some piercing cries. He started moving through the air, many shadow appearing, they all belonged to Tu Jiu. An incredible white light invaded the atmosphere. It seemed like multiple of Tu Jiu shadows were moving towards Lin Feng with their claws, aiming to kill. The entire atmosphere was filled with his shadows. It was difficult to distinguish if they were real or fake.

The white light flashed in front of Lin Feng’s eyes, he slightly inclined his body to one side and the white light hurtled by him at incredible speed, not hurting him at all.

But immediately after, the endless and evil white light grew even brighter as the attacks continued. Lin Feng’s silhouette slightly flickered. Each of his steps were perfect, soft and agile. That way, he was able to avoid the attacks which were supposed to be deadly.

At that moment, Lin Feng looked elegant, agile and skillful. He was in the middle of an endless flurry of claw strikes, shuttling back and forth. He was dodging these strikes with extreme skill.

“Ahhhh!” A sharp sound spread in the atmosphere. The myriad of white lights merged together and transformed into a pair of gigantic claws. It really seemed like it belonged to a gigantic and monstrously strong ferocious beast. It seemed like these gigantic claws were over a metre in size. Lin Feng was directly under one of these claws and had nowhere to go, he could not escape.

“It’s almost the end. Lin Feng is going to die.” People in the crowd were looking at Tu Jiu. He really looked like an evil beast. Lin Feng was a prisoner under these claws. He was going to be ripped into pieces.

Lan Jiao’s mouth was wide open, her face was deathly pale. Lin Feng was really going to die.

Lin Feng’s silhouette was completely enveloped by the claws. He was looking at Tu Jiu, who looked like an evil eagle, and coldly smiled.

An incredible purple energy burst forth. It looked like a huge purple lake. Then, countless purple tentacles appeared and rushed through the air towards the claws. Entangling them and restricted them. Immediately after, the claws were completely drowned in the purple spirit.
