"Lin Feng, can you not handle this?"
Zhu Ya scolded sharply, "You are a useless waste. My lady has not only tolerated you but has even entered into a marriage contract with you. Now that the contract is being dissolved, the betrothal gifts should still be considered compensation for her years wasted on you, otherwise, what was the point of her youth spent on a worthless person like you?"
Fang Wanyi quickly added, "That's right! I cannot afford to waste my youth. The things given to me before have nothing to do with you now. If you want to continue living in peace as your 'Hongmeng', then stay away from me. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
With that threat, she turned to leave.
Consequences?
Lin Feng shook his head coldly. In the past, he would have pursued a woman like Fang Wanyi; that was foolish of him. She was right about one thing—he would no longer waste his time on such trivial matters.
"Are you sure you won't return what is mine?" Lin Feng stepped forward, blocking their path.
"What will you do if I don’t?" Zhu Ya mocked. "You’re not even a martial artist; you're just a waste." She was at the second level of the Virtual Martial Realm and had no regard for Lin Feng.
If Lin Feng dared to make a move, she would first cripple his arms. Even if the women from the Lin family came, they wouldn't be able to say anything, especially since the Fang Family had Yu Shaozhu backing them.
"What are you afraid of?"
"The Zhan Tian Shen Jian is right here; if you have the ability, take it."
Fang Wanyi scoffed as well.
Everyone could see they were trying to provoke Lin Feng into making a rash move. Many believed that after being humiliated by his former fiancée, he would impulsively rush in to seize it.
But no one expected him to simply stand there and coldly utter four words: "The Divine Sword Returns!"
Buzz!!!
A crisp sound of a sword echoed as the ancient sword behind Fang Wanyi suddenly shot out, circling above everyone’s heads before pointing directly at Lin Feng.
In the next moment—
Bang!!!
The sword plunged three feet into the ground, standing tall in front of Lin Feng.
Swish! Swish! Swish!!!
Lin Feng grasped the Zhan Tian Shen Jian in his hand, a familiar feeling surged within him as if it had been with him for millennia. A terrifying sword aura rapidly spread outwards, causing many to feel an overwhelming sense of dread!
To be precise, this sword aura carried a hint of soul pressure that made it difficult for them to breathe!
How could this Heavenly Tier Spirit Artifact possess such terrifying pressure? I don’t even dare to look at that sword; it feels as if I am being watched by an abyssal gaze!
Wasn't it said that only sword spirits could release such pressure? Could it be that this sword's level far exceeds that of ordinary spirit artifacts?
The key was that this sword seemed to obey Lin Feng's command; after all, he was just a waste who wasn't even a martial artist! Was it simply because he belonged to the Lin family?
At this moment, everyone stared in shock at the scene unfolding before them.
Lin Feng showed no signs of internal energy fluctuations; he appeared completely ordinary. Yet the pressure emanating from the Zhan Tian Shen Jian made everyone present feel an instinctive urge to prostrate themselves and submit humbly.
A sword light struck down on Fang Wanyi's delicate neck, pressing dangerously close to her throat. She trembled with anxiety, her voice quivering as she exclaimed, "Lin Feng, you’ve taken the Zhan Tian Shen Jian! What more do you want?" That was the Zhan Tian Shen Jian! A Heavenly Tier Spirit Artifact! It even surpassed the existence of a Heavenly Tier Spirit Artifact! Below the Qi Wu Realm, no warrior even had the qualification to wield this longsword; she could only carry it on her back as a symbol.
She could never have imagined that Lin Feng, a useless person without any internal power, could actually wield the Zhan Tian Shen Jian. If she had known this would happen, she would have stayed hidden at home instead of being reduced to this state, with a useless person pointing a sword at her.
"What about my Geng Jin Soft Armor?" she blurted out nervously.
"Take it off," Lin Feng said flatly.
His words broke through Fang Wanyi's defenses. Her previously pale face flushed instantly with anger as she shouted, "You want me to take off my Geng Jin Soft Armor in front of so many people? You might as well kill me!"
"Or else?" Lin Feng's calm words made Fang Wanyi's pupils contract. The cold aura emanating from the sword light made her grip her Geng Jin Soft Armor tightly, her voice filled with fierce rage. "You must be dreaming! The Geng Jin Soft Armor belongs to me. You want me to take it off in front of all these people? I'd rather die!"
"Then I won’t hold back," Lin Feng nodded slightly. Without any movement from him, the sword light of the Zhan Tian Shen Jian flashed on its own.
"Stop!"
Clang!!!
Accompanied by a sharp sound, an Old Matriarch suddenly appeared and blocked the mesmerizing sword light. In a hurried motion, her palm wind not only dispersed the sword light but also forced Lin Feng back several steps.
Witnessing this scene, everyone’s understanding of the Zhan Tian Shen Jian was once again refreshed. Even when Lin Feng could not wield it, the divine sword could still unleash its sword light in battle and withstand an attack from a Qi Wu Realm Initial Stage expert. Who could truly master it? How powerful would they be?
The Old Matriarch clearly understood this point; a strong killing intent flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lin Feng. Such a divine sword should belong to her Fang Family! No one else could lay claim to it!
With a shout, the Old Matriarch leaped into action and struck towards Lin Feng once more.
Most of the people present were warriors from the Virtual Martial Realm, and even those from the Power Martial Realm felt an overwhelming sense of murderous intent from the Old Matriarch's strike. What chance did Lin Feng, who had no internal power at all, have?
Just when everyone thought he was doomed, a cold voice rang clearly in everyone's ears.
"Jian Bi, you seek death!!!"
Before the words had even faded, everyone was horrified to see the Old Matriarch, who had just attacked, fly back dozens of feet like a kite with its string cut, spitting blood wildly in mid-air.
At the same time, a stunning figure appeared beside Lin Feng.
It was a woman who looked to be around twenty-two or twenty-three years old. She wore a light green long dress, was tall and curvaceous, and her beauty could only be described as breathtaking. The noble and ethereal aura she exuded made even Fang Wanyi, known as the most beautiful woman in the imperial city, pale in comparison.
As everyone caught sight of this woman's face, they gasped in shock.
Wasn't this Su Mengyu from the Lin family? How could she be so powerful?!
Heavens! It was said that the Fang Family's Protector had reached the Wu Er Cheng realm, yet Su Xianzi couldn't even withstand one blow and was directly injured?!
Su Xianzi was merely the Lin family's Jiu Zhang Lao; what about the other eight elders? Their strength must be even more formidable! No wonder the Lin family could rise to become one of the four great families of the imperial city overnight; it seemed that the Fang Family had kicked a steel plate this time!
Could it be? Even if the Lin family was strong, they only had nine Qi Wu Realm experts. There were countless such experts in Wan Jian Valley, and Senior Gu Zhu Gong Zhen had even stepped into the True Martial Realm! The Fang Family had allied with Wan Jian Valley and had no fear of the Lin family's Nine Fairies!
The onlookers buzzed with discussion. Fang Wanyi watched in horror as her family's second elder was sent flying; her expression grew increasingly grim.
She rushed over to help the Old Matriarch, Rao Elder.
At that moment, Rao Elder coughed up another mouthful of blood but felt his vitality stabilize somewhat; however, he still appeared weak and unsteady.
"Late-stage Qi Wu Realm!" Rao Elder muttered to himself before glaring at Su Mengyu. "The imperial city strictly prohibits private duels and killings. You acted without reason; how can your Lin family be so domineering?"
"Domineering?" Su Mengyu stood there like a celestial being, letting out a light laugh. "The Lin family is indeed domineering. What can you do about it? If you dare to harm Young Master even slightly, I won't hesitate to wipe out your little Fang Family from the imperial city!"
