THE MARTIAL GOD

Chapter 23: The Scary Shadow

Hou Qing used his other hand to cover the bloody wound where his arm was injured. Blood flowed endlessly from his wounds and through his fingers to form a puddle of water on the floor. He looked extremely frightened and could not understand how he had lost his arm. The scene was so shocking that no one could believe what they had just seen.

“You, that must be luck! If you don't have such luck.Hou Qing said while looking at Lin Feng in a sinister way. At that moment he still believed that Lin Feng had not hit him and that Lin Feng s strength was greatly inferior to him. Everything that happened when he swung his sword randomly must have been luck, how could he know where Hou Qing was? Lin Feng had just gotten lucky and when he slashed through the air managed to accidentally hit his arm. Hou Qing was not the only one who thought that way, many ordinary disciples within the crowd had the same carriage. They really did not believe that Lin Feng had seen Hou Qing move at such a high and simple speed using a single strike to accurately cut off his arm.

“I am very lucky. '' Lin Feng looked surprised for a moment then smiled and replied. He was really lucky to have this opportunity to take down Hou Qing.

"Other times, I won't be easy on you and I won't give you a chance to retaliate" Hou Qing said walking unsteadily. He moved away from Lin Feng and moved through the crowd of disciples. His arm had been cut clean and this was not an injury he could leave without medical help. His wound needed medical help as soon as possible or he would lose his life along with his arm. He had already lost so much blood that it was difficult for him to stand up.

“I hope you won't be that stupid to challenge me to 'next time'. "Said Lin Feng feeling helpless and shaking his head. Hou Qing still did not accept the fact that he had lost and attributed Lin Feng's victory to luck, with such a temperament then he would return for revenge and eventually lose his other arm.

"You dare to injure a disciple in charge of justice when the rules of the Sect are not respected. The sect doesn't mean anything to you, it's clear in your eyes that you see us as something you can disrespect. '' Mo Xie blamed Lin Feng once again, accusing him of doing whatever he wanted to meet his needs back then.

Smiling, Lin Feng said to Mo Xie: "It's really easy to give a dog a bad name and then hang it. If I understand what you mean correctly, You said that I should have let him cut off my arm and then be expelled from the Sect and on top of that I still have the Sect in my heart. Don't you think that your own analysis, silly and laughable, Elder? ”

Lin Feng provoked Elder Mo, They all wanted to cut off his arm then banish him from the Sect and on top of that they wanted him to care about giving the sect the respect it deserves. Lin Feng admired Mo Xie for being able to say stupid things with a straight face.

"Patriark, am I allowed to add something to what has already been said?" Asked Lin Feng completely ignoring Mo Xie again. If there was someone who had the strength to make a decision in this situation, it would definitely be Nan Gong Ling.

Nan Gong Ling had an expression on her face that showed that she could not help but be interested in this young disciple. He was actually very interested in Lin Feng and his actions. Lin Feng was neither arrogant nor submissive, neither arrogant nor humble. Lin Feng was completely calm despite being in a position that seemed like a disaster. That was the temperament needed to become a great Cultivator and to improve with leaps and bounds on his cultivation path. "Please speak. '' Nan Gong Ling said as he nodded his head.

“Patriark, I was told to come when an elder wanted to meet me personally. At that time my arrival was immediately denied by the Elder by accusing me of various things, namely being guilty of embarrassing the name of the sect and making the sect lose face. He called me the sect's disgrace and piece of trash. When I tried to give an explanation in self-defense, he immediately called me by name and said I denied it. Since I chose to maintain my innocence, he wanted my arm to be severed. I'd like to ask. Wasn't Elder Mo, who made the decision based on his own personal opinion, guilty of embarrassing the sect and causing it to lose face? As an Elder in charge of ensuring that his rules were respected, shouldn't he be representing the Sect in dealing with justice, rather than upholding his own usual injustice? ”

Lin Feng's sharp and precise words had shocked the entire crowd who now completely believed he had gone mad

"brave. "The strong Qi had surrounded Lin Feng where he stood. Mo Xie hated Lin Feng so much that he wanted to kill him there on the spot before he could lose face again for the words of this young disciple.

"I don't dare. The sect wanted to leave and expel me without finding the truth behind the accusation. Why not just dare? I'd like to ask you, Elder Mo, the evil you accuse, who said I had done that? ”Lin Feng smiled and was completely calm, he was not afraid of facing Mo Xie.

"You're Trash! You hurt your own family members, you humiliated your parents. Do you dare not admit it? "" Lin Qian said in a cold tone.

"So that's how it is .. I understand. "Said Lin Feng smiling. “It appears that the crime charged by Elder Mo came from him. My cousin told you all this, right? ”

"Yes, so what?" Said Mo Xie whose killing intent became stronger and stronger in the depths of his heart. Even if Lin Qian and Chu Zhan Peng were not the ones to land the killing blow, they still wished for his death.

“Hehe, since you admit it, Elder Mo, I would like to ask you before the Patriarch. You listened to his side of the story to accuse me of various crimes, but are you the Yun Hai Sect Elder or the Hao Yue Sect Elder? ”

“How dare you! Dare to humiliate me, an esteemed Elder within the sect. I will cripple your cultivation now. Clear way. No more room for discussion. "Mo Xie had ended his patience. Allowing Lin Feng to talk like that about him had caused his brilliance and reputation as an Elder to be completely destroyed.

“Everyone here knows what is right and what is wrong. It's just that I'm not an elite disciple within the sect, so I can't defend myself. Only the strong are respected. If you want to cripple my cultivation, just do it, there is no need to make false accusations against me. '' While Lin Feng was saying that, he did not stop looking at Nan Gong Ling.

If Nan Gong Ling prevented Mo Xie from attacking him, Lin Feng would still be a Yun Hai sect disciple in his heart even if he was expelled. However if Nan Gong Ling let him attack then Lin Feng would immediately tell them what happened at the Cliffs of Zhangu. Then during the confusion, Lin Feng would run away, because it could be dangerous for him and he did not want to become a Yun Hai sect disciple anymore. If the Sect did not want Lin Feng, why did he need the Sect? Lin Feng did not have the slightest bit of servitude in the depths of his heart and bones. He would never be a male servant as long as he lived.

Nan Gong Ling carefully considered everything that had happened. Mo Xie moved closer and prepared to quickly attack Lin Feng.

“His desire and determination are very strong. He remained completely calm when faced with danger. Besides, his natural ability is good. He could join the Elite disciples in a few years. He could be a very important person in the sect and one day we might need such talent. ”

“Mo Xie is an Honorable Elder. His achievements on the path of cultivation were insignificant. His natural talent and hard work also played an important role in his development. He could rise in the hierarchy in the future. Although what happened today was Mo Xie's fault, he was the Elder after all things and besides, he was Mo Cang Lan's son. ”

Nan Gong Ling was considering everything that had happened and calculating his answer at an extremely fast speed. He was the Patriarch of the Sect. Whatever the problem may be, he must always distinguish something clearly and understand the advantages and disadvantages of doing something. If something can be beneficial to the Sect then it must be done, if it is not beneficial to the Sect, then it should not be done. This was a simple understanding that all patriarchs followed.

He of course knew that Mo Xie had made a mistake about the ongoing matter. The problem was that if he stopped Mo Xie from acting, it would be the same as making him lose face. If he let her attack, he would feel a great loss for the sect in his heart. Moreover, he had no choice but to consider Mo Cang Lan as well and could not make her lose face as well. After all, Mo Cang Lan had the status of a Great Elder within the Sect. He had given heroic service to the Sect.

In comparison, there was Lin Feng who of course had some potential but he was truly an insignificant figure compared to the old man.

Nan Gong Lin's hesitation made Lin Feng laugh at himself for once believing in the sect. He laughed at his own ignorance. Even though he had defeated Hou Qing, one of the ten best Ordinary disciples, Lin Feng was still in the eyes of everyone an Ordinary disciple, besides that Mo Xie was an esteemed sect elder. How could Nan Gong Ling make Mo Xie lose face because of Lin Feng? Lin Feng wasn't too strong so he didn't have to put himself in a dangerous situation. In their minds it was Lin Feng's own fault for not being strong enough or having enough talent to deserve to be protected.

“Stupid child. '' Mo Xie said, as he got closer to Lin Feng. These words pierced Lin Feng's eardrum. His smile revealed his killing intent, he wanted to kill Lin Feng. He was an ordinary student, nothing more. Actually daring to oppose Mo Xie would be extremely reckless.

"Lin Feng is dead!" Shouts of the disciples in the crowd. But Lin Feng could only blame his own helplessness.

“It's a shame that I can't cripple his own cultivation. '' Lin Qian said with a cold smile. It was quite an unexpected situation for Lin Qian but the result was the same, it was Lin Feng's last moments

The powerful energy crippled Lin Feng. The hair all over his body was erected, he was about to open his mouth, but at that moment the power oppressing him all over his body disappeared without leaving a trace.

"Huh?" Lin Feng was stunned. That was unexpected. How could that power suddenly disappear? Besides, how could it disappear like that without leaving a trace?

Mo Xie was not far from Lin Feng but at that moment he stopped walking towards Lin Feng. Mo Xies pupils widened as if he had seen something unimaginable. Furthermore, godly strength oppressed Mo Xies entire body.

Many people did not understand why Mo Xie stopped. Nan Gong Ling and Mo Cang Lan were stunned by this turn of events.

"This ..." Lin Feng was looking at Mo Xie's expression and then looked at his body. Lin Feng was as surprised as everyone else and it was hard to believe what he saw.

"I'm not wrong .." Lin Feng was so surprised that his eyes couldn't be more open than back then. On Mo Xie's body, there was a shadow that looked like a human body. Moreover, the shadow moved even though Mo Xie was like a cripple.

That's shadow. It really looked exactly like the shadow of a human.

However the most frightening thing was that Lin Feng could only see shadows but could not see who belonged to whom.

It was not only Lin Feng who noticed, the Patriarch and everyone were abnormally shocked and saw the shadow that enveloped Mo Xies body.

"Go back, get lost you scum. ”Say a voice that fills the entire area. Only sounds can be heard. No one could see who said it, but his voice felt like it contained an enormous power that left everyone shaken.

The voice they heard made many people start trembling in fear, many wanting to kneel down. The shadow that came out of the void had frightened everyone present and their bodies begged to escape with almost primitive instincts.
