THE MARTIAL GOD

Chapter 16: Rules or No Rules

Lin Feng was wearing a mask so that no one could recognize him, although he would not be recognized by the top disciples that filled the canyon. He had mastered the Nine Heavy Waves technique as well as the Roaring Thunder skill which proved that he was a monstrous talent and would definitely attract attention.

Jing Hao was the sixth strongest disciple in the sect rank system and was above Lin Feng in terms of cultivation at the ninth Qi layer. Jing Hao had made his name famous by defeating three disciples who were also at the ninth Qi layer in a three-on-one battle.

Lin Feng's cultivation level was the entire layer below Jing Hao, but everyone had seen Lin Feng force Jing Hao to retreat. He had killed Jiang Huai who was one of Jing Hao's closest followers. Jing Hao lost face, he had allowed an unknown disciple who was only at the eighth Qi Layer to force him to retreat and even watched his followers get killed before his eyes. By the time everyone expected Jing Hao to release his anger and force Lin Feng into a miserable state, Lin Feng had already stepped back into the Life or Death Arena. While everyone was staring in disbelief at his actions, Lin Feng wasted no time and challenged Jing Hao in the most demeaning manner.

"Perhaps, he knew that his fate was already sealed and had chosen to die in battle," said a disciple in the crowd. Lin Feng was only at the eighth Qi layer after all and his strength was relatively low compared to Jing Hao.

Jing Hao felt humiliated and did not know how such an incident happened. He had never been humiliated to such an extent since he joined the Yun Hai sect.

“Because you asked to die, who better than me to kill you. '' Jing Hao said hatefully. Since he had seen Lin Feng use the Roaring Thunder skill, he knew that Lin Feng had not lied to him, he definitely had the strength to kill Jing Feng.

Not only had he killed his younger brother, but he had also humiliated him in front of many disciples. This is intolerable.

Jing Hao stepped into the arena as a powerful force began to rise from his sword. Behind Jing Hao was a floating illusory sword that pointed towards the sky. It was the sword spirit of Jing Hao.

"Jing Hao wasted no time and immediately started using his sword spirit. He wanted to show Lin Feng the gap between their strengths. ”

Everyone guessed what Jing Hao wanted to do. He wanted to show how powerful he was compared to the ordinary people before him.

"Take off your sword and I'll let you have three sword strikes before I strike. Let me see if your weak power can hurt me with three sword attacks?!". Jing Hao said as he held his sword and arrogantly looked down at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng grinned. He immediately used the Moonlight Feather Agility. Like moonlight in the daytime, she disappeared from sight then appeared in front of Jing Hao. Many illusory swords began to form then shot from Lin Feng's palm directly towards Jing Hao. When they arrived in front of Jing Hao, all the illusory swords merged into Lin Feng's sword tip and then crashed into Jing Hao. A deafening roar spread throughout the atmosphere.

"How strong. He is truly an expert in using the Roaring Thunder skill ”. When the crowd heard the voice, they looked at the scene in horror. The sounds emitted by his attack sounded like lightning tearing through the air and then exploding at the impact. These sounds could even scare the disciples watching from a distance.

Jing Hao's originally extremely carefree expression suddenly tensed up. He had underestimated his opponent and could not let his guard down.

The thunderous roar made the air in the abyss begin to tremble. An extremely powerful illusory sword floated in the air in front of Jing Hao which acted as a shield.

"First attempt" Jing Hao said mockingly.

Lin Feng had not lost his concentration. He believes in his strength and ability. Countless roars exploded as Lin Feng prepared for the second attack. It will be much stronger than the first attack.

Jing Hao still only protected himself and did not attack. He used his illusory sword as a shield that knew with higher cultivation and sword spirit, he could resist any kind of attack.

For the next attack, Lin Feng started attacking Jing Hao, yet he suddenly pushed his sword forward and loosened the grip of his hilt. The sword continued to move along its trajectory and flew through the air at Jing Hao.

"What's he doing?"

The crowd was stunned by what Lin Feng had just done. Lin Feng had concentrated all of his Qi into the tip of the sword then shot it towards Jing Hao. If Jing Hao received this attack like before, then he would damage his sword spirit with his impact. This was not an option for Jing Hao.

Jing Hao was stunned for a moment and then smiled to himself. Did Lin Feng really think this would work?

Jing Hao began to move backwards while carrying his sword upwards in an arch and with an elegant movement he skillfully countered the power of the sword which made him fly helplessly into the air.

After Lin Feng released his sword, he was already in charging with incredible speed towards Jing Hao. Using the Moonlight Feather Agility technique, it seemed as if his legs did not touch the floor as they disappeared before anyone could see them clearly.

"Second one, right?. '' Said Jing Hao arrogantly as he watched Lin Feng approach him very quickly. He didn't feel threatened, he was just playing around with Lin Feng. Lin Feng had landed in front of Jing Hao yet his sword had landed on the floor behind him.

"You really want to die?" Jing Hao said as he bit his tongue. Lin Feng did not stop to collect his sword which flew in the air. He started attacking towards Jing Hao with his fists, this way he was unable to count the third sword attack and would be humiliated by being forced to take Lin Feng's punch without ever retaliating. All he wanted was to show Lin Feng the difference in their strength, but once again he would be forced to lose face because of Lin Feng.

Then Jing Hao heard Lin Feng say something that surprised him: “That's enough. I'm done playing now ”.

Lin Feng had stopped in front of Jing Hao with eyes filled with killing intent and suddenly a thunderous roar sounded. A bright and dazzling light flashed through the air between the two figures before disappearing from view.

Jing Hao looked dumbfounded and horrified by what had just happened. It seemed like he understood what Ling Feng meant. Jing Hao was not a predator in this fight and it wasn't Lin Feng who was toying with him. Would the result be different if he did not arrogantly give Lin Feng three punches? Jing Hao no longer had the chance to regret his actions because he had already taken his last breath.

"Third power" said Lin Feng as his voice filled the air around the silent and silent arena.

Jing Hao was still standing in the middle of the arena unharmed but to everyone's surprise, Lin Feng simply walked past Jing Hao and took his sword that had previously been sent flying. The entire arena was completely silent, everyone had heard of it. As Lin Feng's words echoed throughout the canyon, the only other sound was Jing Hao's body slumped to the floor with blood seeping from the previously unseen wound on his neck.

Everyone watched the scene in astonishment and could not believe that with their eyes. Jing Hao has lost?

How did Lin Feng attack?

Suddenly everyone started discussing the battle they had just watched. They could not believe what they had just witnessed.

The sixth rank disciple had been defeated by Lin Feng and the result of the battle was his death.

"Who is he?"

Everyone was wondering which disciple was so arrogant as to instantly kill two people in a row. How did he cope with Jing Hao who was the ninth Qi layer and was one of the best disciples of this sect? Lin Feng had shown that he was a true genius and no one doubted his skills after this display. The news that someone had defeated Jing Hao would spread quickly within the Yun Hai sect.

At that moment, at the top of the canyon many people were discussing the final sword attack from Lin Feng.

Not far from the canyon inside the bustling pavilion. A leisurely old man stared blankly into the distance and smiled as he whispered, “The young man has learned how to master the Sword-Wielding skill. He really has an amazing talent. ”

The old man was the person that Lin Feng had met in the Xing Chen Pavilion, who had reminded Lin Feng of an extremely powerful fictional monk from his past life. The old man would never have thought he would see the sword he gave to the attractive young disciple appear in the Life or Death Arena. That was how he recognized Lin Feng.

The Stormy Gorge was a place where many Yun Hai Sect disciples chose to go and practice their cultivation control and martial techniques in real combat. The top disciples of the sect, including many Elite disciples, were the disciples that filled the Stormy Gorge. You could see that the Yun Hai sect was an incredible sect from just seeing the sheer number of its disciples in the canyon watching from the sidelines of the fight.

Except for the old man, Jing Yun and Han Man, there was only one disciple among the crowd who knew the identity of who had just killed Jing Hao. The man was called Guo Hai, the young disciple who had used Jing Feng's death as an excuse to blackmail Jing Yun. The result was that he had been beaten back by Lin Feng. After that he looked for Jing Hao and remembered what Lin Feng and the other two were wearing so that he could identify the group. He had tracked them down as they descended into the abyss. This was all part of his plan as he was going to use Jing Hao to kill Lin Feng and Han Man then take Jing Yun as his reward.

Guo Hai had watched Lin Feng kill Jing Hao which was completely unexpected. He was so frightened that he secretly tried to escape knowing that he would be next.

"You want to leave now .. but isn't it too early to leave now that you've been so successful with your trap?" Said Lin Feng to Guo Hai in a cold tone. Lin Feng had been watching closely and had already seen that Guo Hai had been hiding behind Jing Hao and whispering in his ear.

Guo Hai paused and shivered on his back when he felt Lin Feng's cold gaze piercing through his back.

When Guo Hai heard Lin Feng, he turned around. Guo Hai smiled but smiled to hide his ugly terror to look at.

"You must be wrong senior brother, I have nothing to do with the events that happened here!" Guo Hai said in a respectful tone, pretending not to know it was Lin Feng.

"Oh so you want to lie and say that you don't recognize me?" Said Lin Feng smiling. His face revealed a clear killing intent that he was not trying to hide.

"Please remember we are in the Stormy Gorge and not in the Life or Death Arena. You cannot act rashly, ” said Guo Hai in a trembling and fragile voice, who could feel Lin Feng approaching with the intention to kill.

"I knew. "Said Lin Feng sounding indifferent.

"SNAKE!"

A powerful wave suddenly crashed onto Guo Hai pressing him to the ground. Guo Hai had no chance, he did not even try to put up a fight. After Lin Feng killed Jing Hao, would he have the strength to fight such a powerful opponent?

Lin Feng grabbed Guo Hai using only one hand and threw him straight into the Life or Death Arena. Lin Feng then took his sword and approached Guo Hai who was struggling to stand up after landing so hard into the rocky arena.

“Now you are in Life or Death Arena, so there is no problem. ”

The crowd looked at Lin Feng, they fell silent in shock. How brave was this one man's action?

“This is not my decision, I myself did not decide to enter here. You broke the sect rules by doing this. How dare you so blatantly break the sect rules? "Guo Hai had not expected Lin Feng to throw him into the arena. He began to tremble from head to toe with fear.

A light suddenly flashed between Lin Feng and Guo Hai, sending his head flying into the air.

“Does the sect really have such rules? Then I just need to ignore them ”

Lin Feng said with a hint of anger as he finally sheathed his sword.

If the sect really had rules, would Liu Fei dare to take out her bow and try to kill her without discussion?

If the sect really had rules, would the Elite disciples really threaten him with death without being provoked?

These rules obviously do not apply to all students. If you are strong enough, if you master enough skills, if you have a high status within the sect, there is one rule: the rule is that there are no rules. It was as if he was challenging the sect elders to try and punish him for killing the other disciples.

Lin Feng was not happy killing people. In Lin Feng's previous life, if you kill people then you will be put to death. However in this world some people tried to kill him even though there was no grudge between them. It allowed Lin Feng to understand that in this world, only the strong would survive, It was a cruel world, therefore if people wanted to kill him, then he would mercilessly kill them. Anyone who attempted to take his life would lose his life no matter their family relationship, status, or gender; all would be slashed with his sword.

Lin Feng went back to Han Man who was sitting on the edge of the arena with a smile. He said to Lin Feng: "I never doubted that you would kill them"

“Rules or no rules, they're dead. '' Said Lin Feng with a smile.
