As soon as Lin Feng unleashed his Dou Huang-level aura, the many Dou Wangs in the Nameless Mountains were somewhat panicked. In their understanding, Lin Feng's ability to reach the sixth rank in alchemy at such a young age was a once-in-a-century genius in the Northwest Continent.
If it weren't for the fact that he possessed the Netherworld Poison Flame, the most precious treasure in the world of poisons, these Dou Wangs would never have been disrespectful to him, and even if they intended to attack him, they wouldn't have harmed him.
Of course, these Dou Wangs had already secretly agreed that if Lin Feng returned to seek revenge, they would support each other. They didn't believe that Lin Feng would offend the entire Chuyun Empire for a strange flame, after all, this poisonous flame was of no help to alchemists.
However, what these people didn't expect was that Lin Feng was determined to obtain this strange flame, as it might be the best way to solve the Calamity Poison Body. Moreover, what surprised them most was that Lin Feng had actually advanced to the intermediate Dou Huang realm at such a young age.
"Gentlemen, let me reiterate: if you withdraw now, we can all leave each other alone. If you remain obstinate, and if you cannot kill me today, prepare to face the extermination of your clans in the future!"
Lin Feng's words immediately caused the already hesitant Dou Wangs to erupt into chaos. Under the uneasy gaze of the Wanxie Sect Master, Xie Shan, they exchanged glances.
"Master, we have offended you this time. We will leave immediately and hope for your forgiveness."
The Dou Wangs no longer hesitated, stepping forward to bow to Lin Feng before unfurling their Dou Qi wings and departing. These people were backed by powerful families; coming to seize spiritual treasures was inherently risky. If they hadn't harbored the intention of taking advantage of the chaos, they would have already left. Now,
with Lin Feng, a sixth-grade alchemy master and a mid-level Dou Huang, and with the elders of Canaan Academy saying they wouldn't be held responsible, they naturally ran as fast as they could.
"Hmph! A bunch of trash."
In the blink of an eye, most of the Dou Wang present had left. Apart from a few Dou Wang from the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, only a few Dou Wang who were still trying to fish in troubled waters remained hidden in the shadows.
Even the Dou Huang of the royal family left, after all, the royal family was not like the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, which had the support of a Dou Zong powerhouse behind them. Even if they risked offending a sixth-grade alchemist and Canaan Academy, the strange fire would definitely not end up in the hands of the royal family.
After realizing this, only the Dou Huang powerhouses and members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect remained. Even the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, not wanting to offend the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, apologized to Lin Feng and left.
"Hahaha, as expected of a young prodigy who has reached such a top level in alchemy and Dou Qi cultivation, your tongue is not inferior to anyone!"
The sect leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, Scorpion Mountain, first praised him, then his tone changed and became sinister.
"However, if you don't hand over this poisonous fire, I will keep you here today, even at the risk of offending Canaan Academy."
"In that case, why don't you come and try my fighting technique?"
After the many Dou Wang and Dou Huang left, Lin Feng visibly breathed a sigh of relief. This Wanxie Sect Master, Xie Shan, was only a few stars higher than him. As long as he hadn't entered the Dou Zong realm, Lin Feng had a way to defeat him.
Moreover, with his strange fire, he had the advantage of timing and location against these poison masters, and there was no reason for him to lose.
"The Master of Ten Thousand Poisons - Scorpion Tail Needle!"
Suddenly, a black poisonous needle covered with evil patterns appeared in Xie Shan's hand, and he quickly shot towards Lin Feng when he wasn't paying attention.
"Hahaha, so what if you're a sixth-grade alchemy master? A dead alchemist isn't that valuable."
Seeing that Lin Feng didn't resist his signature move, Xie Shan couldn't help but laugh.
With a "whoosh,"
just as the dark, evil poison needle was about to pierce Lin Feng, a five-colored light screen suddenly appeared around Lin Feng. After a strange fluctuation sound rang out, it deflected the poison needle without any hindrance.
"What!?"
Just as Scorpion Mountain, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, was shocked, Lin Feng had already unleashed his combined fighting technique—Lightning Vajra Finger—and launched a rapid attack.
Although Lin Feng's attack was unremarkable, much more understated than Scorpion Mountain's Scorpion Tail Needle, Scorpion Mountain's pupils shrank drastically, as if a single misstep could cost him his life.
Without time to ponder why Lin Feng, a mere mid-level Dou Huang, posed such a threat to him, a peak Dou Huang, he rapidly formed hand seals, gathering the poisonous energy of the surrounding mountains.
"Boom!"
Before Zi Yan and the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect members' eyes, five-colored Dou Qi and pitch-black Dou Qi collided violently, a huge cloud of dust enveloping the two.
As the dust gradually settled, two figures slowly appeared before everyone.
"As expected of a prodigy from Canaan Academy, not only is your alchemy skill extraordinary, but your combat power far surpasses ordinary people."
Scorpion Mountain's aged voice rang out first. Just as the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect members were worried that he was at a disadvantage, Lin Feng spoke.
"Senior's combat experience is truly rich! Besides the overt fighting techniques, you even secretly unleashed a Poisonous Scorpion. If it weren't for my powerful soul force, I might already be down." As soon as
they finished speaking, they clashed again, streams of black and five-colored battle energy shooting out in all directions, severely damaging the surrounding environment. Even the Dou Huangs of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect had already fled far away, unable to withstand the aftershocks of the battle between the two Dou Huang powerhouses.
After an unknown amount of time, the two separated again. Now, both appeared before the crowd with tattered clothes, their once flawless aura somewhat chaotic.
"Sect Master!"
"Brother Lin Feng!"
Seeing the two separate, the members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect and Zi Yan, the Little Fairy Doctor, quickly approached them.
"Sect Master, are you alright?"
Many Dou Wang elders of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect asked, their voices filled with disbelief. Their Sect Master was a peak Dou Huang, while the young man opposite them was not only a mid-level Dou Huang but also an alchemist.
How could someone possess such formidable combat power? Everyone who reaches the Dou Huang realm has incredibly rich combat experience; to think he could fight a sect leader several star levels higher!
They initially assumed Lin Feng's Dou Huang status was due to his reliance on elixirs for rapid advancement, making him a formidable opponent even against lower-level Dou Huangs. But the result was completely unexpected.
"Lin Feng, are you alright? Watch how I teach him a lesson later!"
Zi Yan said angrily, looking at Lin Feng's numerous injuries.
