Knowing that Lin Feng would be alright, Cai Lin and Little Fairy Doctor no longer hesitated and headed straight for Han Feng and the others who were discussing cutting off their tails to survive. They planned to take down these people from the Black Corner Region before Lin Feng finished dealing with the Eagle Mountain Elder, thus contributing to their husbands' cause.
The Eagle Mountain Elder, after easily dodging Little Fairy Doctor's powerful attack, cackled again, as if his true abilities were only revealed when he was detached from his physical body.
"Lin Feng, this young body of yours is destined to belong to me. Battle Qi has a negligible effect on me, far weaker than you can imagine!"
Revealing this information once more, the confident Eagle Mountain Elder seemed completely unconcerned, as if Lin Feng was already a sitting duck. As soon as he finished speaking, the Eagle Mountain Elder's soul transformed into a pitch-black monster, rushing towards Lin Feng at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
"Hehehe, this body belongs to me!"
"Vajra Finger!"
After reaching the Dou Zong realm, Lin Feng didn't learn many other fighting techniques. Besides the Vajra Finger, he only had the Five Elements Sealing Technique available.
Of course, fighting techniques are valued for their quality, not quantity. After years of cultivation and improvement, this technique, originally only equivalent to a low-to-mid-level Xuan-rank technique, was now no weaker than a typical Di-rank technique.
More importantly, after numerous improvements, it had long since reached the point of instantaneous activation. At this moment, facing the attack from Elder Yingshan, Lin Feng used the Vajra Finger to test the waters. Even so, given Lin Feng's realm and powerful foundation, its power was not to be underestimated even by ordinary five-star or six-star Dou Zong.
"How is this possible!"
A scene that shocked Lin Feng appeared. Elder Yingshan actually withstood the attack head-on, or rather, he offered no resistance at all. The powerful beam of light formed by the Vajra Finger passed straight through him as if it hadn't seen him, without causing any damage.
It was as if the two were standing in completely different spaces. "Could this be what Elder Eagle Mountain meant when he said that battle qi had negligible effects on him?"
"Hehehe, useless, useless! Battle qi is such a low-level energy, completely useless!"
Elder Eagle Mountain laughed wildly again, his entire body instantly absorbing into Lin Feng's body with lightning speed. However, he did not notice the smile deep in Lin Feng's eyes.
"Elder Lin Feng!"
"Master Lin Feng, how is this possible!"
"Master Lin Feng has been attacked! Everyone, quickly join me in attacking!"
"..."
In everyone's eyes, Lin Feng's entire figure was enveloped by that huge black shadow, and then gradually devoured. In just a short while, there was no trace of him left.
Seeing this scene, the many elders of Canaan Academy were thrown into chaos. Lin Feng was no longer just a young and talented elder. In the eyes of the entire Canaan Academy's higher-ups, he had become a banner, symbolizing the academy's invincibility and unparalleled strength.
Now that they had witnessed his potential demise, how could they not be anxious? In fact, many of them had received some form of help from Lin Feng.
"Brothers, run! That monster is being held back by Senior Eagle Mountain. If we don't run now, when will we?"
A voice, concealed within the Black Corner Region camp, suddenly rang out. However, this was no longer the time to dwell on the past.
They had already fallen into utter despair. As seasoned veterans of the Black Corner Region, they knew that if they were surrounded, Han Feng and his fellow Dou Zong would surely abandon them to save their own lives.
Who would have thought such a turn of events would occur? Truly, there's always a way out!
"Run!"
After this voice rang out, the members of the Black Corner Region exchanged glances, realizing that everyone shared this thought, and their hearts settled. Then, under Han Feng's furious gaze, they disregarded the cost, burning their Dou Qi and even their blood essence, and at a speed several minor levels above their own, they rapidly fled in the direction they had come from.
"Damn it!"
Han Feng clenched his fists tightly. "Those treacherous bastards, just wait to be hunted down by a seventh-grade alchemist and a Dou Zong expert!"
"My lord, under these circumstances, should we continue our operation? Please advise!"
Just then, the two elders, Jin and Yin, who had been harboring other thoughts, slowly approached Han Feng, asking respectfully.
"Retreat!"
Looking at the respectful Jin and Yin elders before him, Han Feng calmly replied, though inwardly he was gritting his teeth in anger. Han Feng knew that if he answered to continue and capture the boy possessed by the soul, they would immediately turn on him, abandoning their loyal ally.
"Yes!"
The two elders, Jin and Yin, bowed slightly, exchanging a glance with a hint of relief in their eyes. Knowing each other's thoughts, they understood each other perfectly. If they were to break ties with Han Feng now, their chances of escape would be less than ten percent. With
a "whoosh,"
having temporarily formed a united front, Han Feng and his companions, at the Dou Zong level, quickly overtook the Black Corner Region experts who had been running for some time.
As they fled at breakneck speed, they only saw a few figures flash past them. A moment later, they recognized Han Feng and the two elders, Jin and Yin, and couldn't help but curse.
They were already afraid that Han Feng and his companions would leave them behind as shields, and they hadn't expected this unfavorable assumption to come so quickly. Han Feng and his companions, flying ahead, naturally heard the curses.
However, having survived so many years in the Black Corner Region, they had long since lost all sense of shame and paid no heed to the wailing of these dying ants.
"Devouring Heaven!"
Just as Han Feng's lips curled into a slight smirk, preparing to utter a sarcastic remark, a charming, delicate voice rang out from their faces. Looking up, they saw the former Medusa Queen, now known as Cai Lin.
Standing high in the sky to the side was the expressionless Little Fairy Doctor, coldly surveying the three of them. Her gaze, seemingly carrying poison, made Han Feng and the others tremble slightly.
"Damn it, these two crazy women! Their lovers are almost dead, yet they still have the mind to stop me. They're truly courting death!"
Han Feng's face was grim, tinged with confusion, as he spoke.
"Gentlemen, Lord Lin Feng is in imminent danger. We haven't harmed the academy or you yourselves. How about we leave and you go to his aid?"
Han Feng's words were met with a sudden, almost imperceptible, shout as he turned to the two women, expecting them to be persuaded. However, two powerful fighting techniques hurtled towards his face, infuriating him.
"Crazy women! You forced me to this!"
Han Feng roared, then turned to the two elders, Jin and Yin, and shouted,
"We'll go all out, at any cost, to quickly subdue these two madwomen, or we'll all die a horrible death!"
"Yes!" The
two elders exchanged a glance, understanding the gravity of the situation. Their hands rapidly formed hand seals, their auras subtly merging, as if preparing to unleash a powerful technique. Han Feng,
meanwhile, frantically burned his fighting spirit, consuming top-grade pills without restraint, and even tossed two bottles to the elders, his meaning clear.
Just as the group was about to clash, the people of the Black Corner Region faced a dilemma in the distant sky. Several Dou Zong experts blocked the only path back to the Black Corner Region, and turning back meant facing several top Dou Zong experts, along with a group of menacing Dou Wang and Dou Huang experts assisting them.
These people of the Black Corner Region were utterly desperate. Some even contemplated self-destruction, hoping to reunite as heroes eighteen years later. Others, more sinister, scanned the surroundings, hoping to find some Canaan Academy students to take down with them before their deaths.
Of course, there were also those who feared death and wanted to surrender for a chance to survive. For example, Yuan Yi, the leader of the Eight Doors, was vastly different from these desperados. He was not only the leader of a powerful force, but his auction house was also thriving. He would be extremely unwilling to die like this!
However, if he were to die here, that would be fine. But if he were to escape with his life and return to the Eight Doors' headquarters, he would surely be driven to his death by rage.
While they were accompanying Han Feng and his group to Canaan Academy to rob it, the hidden vortex within the Black Corner Region began to spin rapidly. Various super-powers, concealed by the lingering influence of the Mangtian Ruler, were now seizing this rare opportunity to swiftly devour the wealth of forces destined to never return.
In the original story, they didn't act because Lin Feng wasn't present at Canaan Academy at that time. With the strength of Han Feng and his group then, even if their plan failed, if they formed an alliance upon their return, they would undoubtedly be a true major power in the Black Corner Region. Aside from truly top-tier experts like the Earth Demon Ancestor, who could eliminate them?
Of course, Canaan Academy wasn't included. If the two elders, Qianbai and his group, who were secretly observing, were to truly make a move, no one in the Black Corner Region could stand against them.
Further away, a group from Canaan Academy, about a hundred meters away, nervously observed the changes in the large black mass, unsure of what to do.
"Elder, do you have any way to resolve Elder Lin Feng's current situation?"
An elder at the Dou Wang level, who had received favors from Lin Feng, observed for a long time but found himself still helpless. He could only turn his gaze to Elder Su Qian, who was deep in thought, hoping to get a reassuring answer from him.
"Yes, Elder, Elder Lin Feng has made too many and too great contributions to the academy. We must save him this time!"
"Yes, even if we have to use the academy's most precious treasures and exhaust all methods, we must rescue Elder Lin Feng!"
"If all else fails, we can only summon the old dean, whom we haven't seen for many years. With his Dou Zun level, he must have a way!"
The
elders spoke one after another, all expressing their concern for Lin Feng. If Lin Feng woke up and saw this scene, he would feel that his sacrifices for Canaan Academy were worthwhile. Although from the very beginning, he had received the academy's protection and training.
Seeing the many anxious elders, Elder Su Qian grew increasingly anxious himself. He was well aware of Lin Feng's contributions to the academy. In fact, his own cultivation had advanced by one or two stars thanks to Lin Feng's help.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
Elder Su Qian spoke up, stopping the chaotic scene.
"This is the first time I've seen Elder Lin Feng in such a state; I'm truly powerless to help,"
Elder Su Qian quickly added.
"However, with Senior Medicine Venerable here, as the continent's number one alchemist, perhaps he has a solution. Elders, please don't worry!"
Upon hearing this, the elders finally remembered what Han Feng had said: the soul possessing the inner academy genius Xiao Yan was none other than the renowned continent's number one alchemist, Han Feng's former master—Medicine Venerable Yao Chen!
However, thanks to Elder Su Qian's earlier warning, the other elders dared not speak again, fearing they might influence Senior Medicine Venerable's judgment. They simply stared intently at the large black mass enveloping Lin Feng, not daring to utter a sound.
Yao Chen, of course, took the lead, bypassing the elders to stand ten meters away from Lin Feng, observing and contemplating intently.
Why not observe more closely? What a joke! Lin Feng's strength far surpassed his own, a mere tiger. Even he had fallen victim to this; even with some trump cards, he couldn't afford to be careless!
Amidst the tense and expectant gazes of the crowd, Yao Chen's exposed soul form gradually furrowed, causing the surrounding elders' hearts to sink.
"Senior Yao, how is Elder Lin Feng?"
At this moment, Elder Su Qian, the head of Canaan Academy, voiced the question on behalf of everyone.
"Elder Su Qian, everyone in the academy, there's no need to worry."
Seeing the worried expressions on everyone's faces, Yao Chen was taken aback, realizing that his expression had caused them to misunderstand something, and explained.
"Lin Feng's vitality is exceptionally strong, comparable to the top-tier seventh-order magical beast, and his soul power is also normal. Everyone, there's no need to worry."
Hearing this, the worry on the faces of the elders immediately dissipated, but then a new doubt welled up in their hearts. At this moment, Elder Su Qian, on behalf of everyone in the academy, asked the question that had been on everyone's mind.
"Since Elder Lin Feng is alright, when will he wake up? And what was your expression just now, Senior?"
"Hahaha, I don't know when Lin Feng will wake up either. This situation is quite rare, but you don't need to worry. Lin Feng is very lucky. As for why I frowned just now, it's just a professional habit of mine; when I encounter something I don't understand, I concentrate and think it through."
Yao Chen stroked his beard, unintentionally revealing the aura of a grandmaster, immediately causing the many white-haired elders to show their admiration.
"Truly worthy of being the number one alchemist on the continent!"
