Chapter 160: Dreams in the Heart
In the night, Bamboo Elder stood quietly, observing everything happening inside the noodle shop. Beside him stood a woman in black, the Guan Family.
Bamboo Elder asked, "Should we take action?"
"Three young Fate Realization practitioners. If Lin Feng can't break through this predicament, then he can only meet his end," Guan Family replied calmly.
"Why isn't the Demon General involved in this mission?" Bamboo Elder questioned, puzzled.
"It's just a feud among children. The big figures have their own matters to attend to."
With that, Guan Family stepped into the darkness and vanished. Bamboo Elder followed closely behind, but not before casting a glance at Lin Feng.
"I will kill you..."
Magenta kept repeating this phrase, yet her actions had come to a standstill for quite some time. It was unclear whether she was venting, threatening, or trying to convince herself.
Ahhh...
Finally, Magenta let out a cry of anguish. Then she released her grip and dashed out of the noodle shop like a madwoman.
Her heart was filled with hatred, yet she ultimately couldn't bring herself to act.
Lin Feng looked at the hairpin on his chest and then at the departing Magenta, his expression complex. Though he had no intention of causing harm, he had inadvertently hurt a good woman.
"Such a pity, such a pity, the good show is about to end without finishing."
Things did not unfold as expected, and Lin Qing sighed. He then summoned a sword, an Eighth-Rank Magical Artifact. As Vital Energy flowed into the sword, it immediately shone brightly, illuminating the entire noodle shop more brilliantly than daylight.
"Are you going to kill him, or shall I?" Lin Qing asked as he looked at Tu.
Tu also stood up, now holding an axe in his hand. "He and Sima Shangshan teamed up to kill my brother. Today, I must avenge him."
"Lin Feng killed my entire family; it seems that revenge is mine as well. How about this: I'll chop off half of his body, and you take his head. What do you think?" Lin Qing proposed.
"Sounds good."
"Who goes first?"
"You've already made your move; it's only fair that you go first. If I were to chop off his head directly, wouldn't that just benefit him for nothing?"
"That makes sense; then I won't hold back."
With that, Lin Qing gripped the sword in his right hand, blade facing down. As Vital Energy surged forth, an immense power coalesced upon the long sword.
Lin Feng quietly watched Lin Qing, secretly praying that the sword would fall slowly. If only he had a moment's time, he could break free from the poison coursing through his veins.
Lin Qing would not give Lin Feng a chance for a counterattack; Tu was no fool either.
The long sword, imbued with tremendous power, sliced swiftly toward Lin Feng's shoulder. Finally, Lin Qing could avenge his grandfather; his eyes gleamed with intense satisfaction and cruelty.
The longsword fell but did not slice into Lin Feng's body. A hand appeared out of nowhere and grasped the tip of the sword.
Lin Qing and Tu followed the hand's direction and saw Lin Miaomiao, radiating a powerful aura, dressed in a gown of purple light.
"How come you aren't poisoned?" Lin Qing asked, puzzled.
Lin Miaomiao sneered, "My body is immune to all poisons."
"Ethereal Body has such remarkable properties?" Lin Qing looked at Tu.
Tu shook his head. "I haven't heard of it."
"Then she's just pretending. We should kill Lin Miaomiao first; she has Holy Armor protecting her."
"Alright."
Without hesitation, Lin Qing and Tu activated Manifestation of Divine Powers.
Behind Tu appeared a massive Crimson Fiend Beast, towering over the houses. As it swung its arms, it caused the buildings in the courtyard to collapse and shatter.
Lin Qing's manifestation was a gigantic Black Water Xuan Snake, coiling and flicking its tongue, revealing a fierce and cold glint.
Seeing that the two were about to attack Lin Miaomiao, Lin Feng stepped in front of her without a second thought. But he heard Lin Miaomiao say, "Fool, step aside."
"You'll die," Lin Feng insisted, refusing to move.
"I am not poisoned, thanks to the Holy Armor. They are no match for me," Lin Miaomiao replied.
With that, Lin Miaomiao charged forward, leaping over Lin Feng and diving into the space between Lin Qing and Lin Feng. The power of the Holy Armor was not only marked by its formidable defensive capabilities but also by its terrifying offensive enhancements.
Clad in the Holy Armor and wielding the Purple Twilight Sword, Lin Miaomiao thrust her sword forward. It was unstoppable, piercing directly through Zhu Yan's left shoulder.
Tu revealed a look of shock. "She really isn't poisoned."
With that, Tu leaped back, attempting to escape from Lin Miaomiao. But at that moment, Lin Qing commanded the Black Water Xuan Snake to lash its tail, striking heavily against Zhu Yan.
Bang...
A loud sound echoed as Zhu Yan was hit hard, his towering body flying toward Lin Miaomiao. Meanwhile, Lin Qing made a desperate attempt to flee.
"Lin Qing..."
Tu let out an angry roar, but he had no time for further words. Lin Miaomiao was already charging at him again.
Empowered by the Holy Armor, Lin Miaomiao possessed strength that surpassed Fate Realization. With the Purple Twilight Sword in hand, she unleashed countless Sword Flowers; each one that touched Zhu Yan pierced through him.
In just a moment, Lin Miaomiao had torn Zhu Yan apart. Then she thrust her sword into Tu's Sea of Consciousness, obliterating him completely.
At the instant Lin Qing escaped, Lin Feng broke through the poison within his meridians. Immediately wielding the Sky Sword, he unleashed his full Sword Intent, merging with the Sky Sword and shooting out like a bolt of energy.
In the night sky, a white meteor streaked across.
This was Lin Feng and his Sky Sword, piercing through Lin Qing's chest.
Boom...
The phenomenon behind Lin Qing lost its stability, shattering like a broken mirror. Lin Qing looked at the sword in his chest, revealing a howl of unwillingness.
He had to admit that Lin Feng was strong. Even though he had allied with the demon clan and trained in a brutal manner, rapidly advancing in cultivation, he still couldn't catch up to Lin Feng.
Throughout his life, he had always been a defeated foe under Lin Feng.
No matter how meticulously he plotted, Lin Feng had repeatedly escaped from death.
"I won't accept this."
Lin Qing screamed madly, then gathered all his Vital Energy, exploding his own body. A wave of destructive power immediately spread out. The self-detonation of a Fate Realization Walker would exceed the might of his strongest Divine Technique.
Lin Feng was caught in this surge of power, sent flying into the air.
Lin Miaomiao immediately rushed up, catching the off-balance Lin Feng. Seeing him covered in blood, she was horrified to find that his powerful body had been blown open with a gaping hole.
"Lin Feng, you have to hold on," Lin Miaomiao said anxiously.
Lin Feng saw Lin Miaomiao's lips moving but felt a deafening roar in his ears, unable to hear anything. Meanwhile, a part of his abdomen seemed to have lost all sensation.
In the night, Magenta returned. Watching Lin Feng being blasted away, she wanted to rush out but stopped when she saw Lin Miaomiao make her move. Magenta then turned and left.
Lin Feng suffered a severe injury, unable to walk. Lin Miaomiao carried him back to the room and took out some healing ointment to apply to Lin Feng's wounds.
As the ointment touched his injuries, Lin Feng felt a sharp sting. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to endure the pain and said, "The self-detonation of Walker has such terrifying power."
"What are you boasting about? I killed Tu and then moved on. I could have killed Lin Qing," Lin Miaomiao scolded while wrapping bandages around Lin Feng.
"Isn't it because I'm afraid he might escape? If this person isn't dealt with, I won't be able to sleep at night."
"Now look at you. How will you compete tomorrow?"
"Perhaps I should forfeit. Losing to you wouldn't be unfair. At that time, you can give He Rongsheng a good beating for me," Lin Feng chuckled.
"I'm not joking with you. Didn't you promise a senior that you'd aim for first place at the Jiuzhou Gathering Conference?" Lin Miaomiao asked.
"Yes."
Lin Feng then recalled Master Da's words. If he didn't secure first place, people from Divine Ruins would appear and take everything that belonged to Divine Ruins. They would take the Stone Pearl and the Spirit Monkey.
Without the Stone Pearl, Lin Feng wouldn't be able to adapt to the rules of this realm and cultivate, effectively becoming useless.
He had never mentioned any of this to Lin Miaomiao.
"How about this? I'll choose to forfeit tomorrow's competition. That way, you'll advance. You can rest for two more days, which should be enough for your recovery," Lin Miaomiao decided.
"Don't you want to secure first place? Achieving that would attract the attention of Divine Ruins," Lin Feng asked tentatively.
Lin Miaomiao thought for a moment and said, "Lin Feng, do you remember the letter I wrote to you?"
"Of course I remember."
"I hope to fight against you one day. I want you to surpass me. That way, I won't have to toil away in training anymore, and I can do the things I love."
"I don't like conflict. I just want to live a simple and easy life. To be honest, running the noodle shop has been a bit challenging at first, but later on, I've been very happy. I cherish it."
"And now, you have the strength to defeat me. That's enough. You will defeat He Rongsheng and claim the top spot at the Nine Provinces Gathering, right?"
Lin Miaomiao quietly looked at Lin Feng, waiting for his promise and answer.
Lin Feng lay on the bed and nodded, "I will."
"I believe in you. Once you take first place in the Martial Examination, I won't have to suffer through training anymore. I can do many things, like making ramen. Lin Feng, your noodles are terrible; it's so embarrassing. I'm going to find a place to learn," Lin Miaomiao said with interest.
Lin Feng looked at Lin Miaomiao, filled with gratitude and emotion. He took her hands and said, "Miaomiao, I promise you. In the future, I will set everything aside and live a simple life with you, running a noodle shop."
"Oh, and we need to change the name of the noodle shop. 'Lanzhou Noodles' sounds strange. It should be 'Feng Miao Noodle House.'"
"Change it? Absolutely."
The two of them envisioned their future together, dreaming further and further until they imagined having children and living happily as a family.
Solitary Moon Mansion.
The Solitary Moon Mansion of today is no longer the residence it once was; its grounds have expanded several times over. Countless visitors come, and those wishing to join the ranks of Solitary Moon City disciples are in a constant stream.
Solitary Moon City has become the second hottest sect in Gaojing, following closely behind the Azure Cloud Sect.
At this moment, under the night sky, a man in black quietly stepped into the Solitary Moon Mansion. He sought out Elder Lin.
Upon seeing the man's face, Elder Lin instantly revealed a look of surprise.
“It’s been a long time. Have you forgotten me, forgotten yourself? The Demon Clan's Ninth Demon General, Elder Lin of Solitary Moon City?” The man in black was none other than the Demon Clan's First Demon General. (To be continued...)
