"Violent Bear Earthshattering Fist!"
While flying, Zi Yan let out a crisp shout. Her slender right arm spun several times at high speed.
As she gathered power, a purple beastly shadow briefly flashed across her fair fist.
The seemingly small and delicate punch carried with it a thunderous sonic boom as it smashed fiercely toward her opponent.
This Mid-Grade Earth Class Dou Technique was one Lin Feng had obtained from the Mulan Elders and later passed on to her.
After several months of practice — plus the frequent sparring matches she'd had with Xiao Yixian in the Chu Yun Empire — she now wielded it with considerable proficiency.
Having suffered a painful lesson earlier, Elder Ying Shan dared not take her lightly this time.
Black mist surged violently around him as a pitch-black palm imprint materialized in his hand.
With a sharp push of his palm forward, that massive energy imprint shot out. Wherever it passed, the very air twisted from the overwhelming dou qi.
One purple, one black — two techniques of completely different colors, yet both brimming with terrifying power — collided in the sky.
A powerful shockwave erupted where Zi Yan's fist struck, unleashing a blast of energy so intense that it scattered a large portion of the black curtain cast over the area by this Four-Star Dou Zong.
Sunlight once again streamed down through the gaps in the black mist, casting a faint glow over the forest below.
While the battle raged on between the two, Lin Feng wasn't just standing idly by.
His hands quickly formed a seal, and a tremendous wave of soul power burst from his forehead.
"Buzz!"
As that soul power surged, a strange soundwave suddenly rippled out along with it.
In the blink of an eye, it reached Elder Ying Shan — who had just finished clashing with Zi Yan.
That seemingly harmless soundwave pierced into his ears, and in the next instant, his body froze midair, stiffening like a statue.
Then, a searing pain erupted in his soul — stabbing deep into the core of his being.
The agony, coming straight from his soul, caused Elder Ying Shan to instinctively raise his hands and clutch his head in pain.
Seeing this golden opportunity, Zi Yan beat Lin Feng to the punch. With a flap of her purple wings, her figure shot toward him like a thunderbolt.
"Violent Bear Earthshattering Fist!"
Sensing the powerful gust of wind surging toward him, the seasoned Elder Ying Shan knew immediately that something was very wrong. He quickly tried to look up—
But it was already too late.
Just as he raised his head, a small, seemingly fragile fist struck him squarely on the nose.
Crack!
A crisp bone-shattering sound echoed through the sky.
His once-prominent hooked nose collapsed inward from Zi Yan's punch — her tiny fist drilling straight into his skull.
With the force of a sledgehammer, her punch collided with his head, unleashing a fierce shockwave that rippled outward in all directions.
The purple energy beast head formed from her Dou Technique even pierced through the back of Elder Ying Shan's skull and shot off into the distant forest.
As the dou qi collided with the land, it let out an explosion like thunder rolling across the heavens.
Soil and trees were flung into the air as massive craters appeared on the forest floor.
Elder Ying Shan's body, under the terrifying force of Zi Yan's strength, was also launched like a cannonball — crashing into the distant woods at blinding speed.
"Tch… His head's already been blown through. No need to waste a finishing blow."
Seeing that Zi Yan had beaten him to the kill, Lin Feng curled his lips slightly and dismissed the Dou Technique he'd been preparing.
However, he suddenly sensed a soul aura attempting to sneak away. With a flap of his bone wings, a fierce wind rose — and his figure instantly vanished, reappearing several hundred meters away.
Curling his fingers, a surge of Glazed Lotus Heart Flame roared to life in his palm.
The flame then transformed into a green chain of fire, which he hurled violently toward the dense forest below.
A faint, phantom-like figure on a treetop spotted the chain and instantly bolted in another direction, trying to escape.
But just as the chain was about to stab into the ground, it abruptly swerved ninety degrees — continuing its pursuit like a serpent homing in on prey.
"Damn it! Even after I've ended up in this miserable state, you little brat still won't let me go?!"
Sensing the blazing chain rapidly closing in behind him, Elder Ying Shan — or at least his fleeing soul — roared in fury.
Though he didn't know exactly what that green flame was, every fiber of his being screamed danger. If it touched him, he'd meet a fate worse than death.
Regret now filled his heart.
He had thought ambushing Lin Feng to seize the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva would be a sure win...
Yet in the end, this was the miserable outcome he faced.
Had he known this would happen, he never would have ambushed this brat.
After all, the information only said that Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva was helpful in finding the Bodhisattva Heart.
It never guaranteed that possessing the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva would lead directly to the Bodhisattva Heart.
Besides, just with the things inside that scroll, he could've at least made it to Dou Zun.
And if what the scroll said about the Dou Technique was true, trading it could have fetched him a priceless return.
He had no doubt — if the trade location was right…
He could've exchanged that unique Dou Technique for a Heaven Grade cultivation technique suited to his attributes.
Combined with his soul techniques, he might've even broken through within his lifetime—
"Heh. Since you dared to ambush me, you should've been prepared to be killed in return."
Facing Elder Ying Shan's crazed, powerless howls, Lin Feng chuckled coldly. His bone wings flared out again, and silver lightning danced wildly beneath his feet.
In the blink of an eye, his figure flashed behind his fleeing enemy.
At the same time, a wave of glassy-colored flame surged from his back, burning and tumbling like a firestorm.
Clang!
Amid the flames, the harsh clattering of metal chains rang out.
"Triple Soul Lock!"
With a silent cry in his heart, Lin Feng unleashed three fiery chains from his back.
They shot out at an incredible speed, the intense heat from them distorting the space they passed through.
In moments, the three chains completely sealed off Elder Ying Shan's escape routes.
"Master Lin, let's talk this out! As long as you spare my soul, I'm willing—"
Before he could finish his plea, a glassy-colored chain pierced straight through his soul, cutting off his voice mid-sentence.
Infused with the Falling Heart Flame, the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame brought unbearable agony to Elder Ying Shan's soul.
Miserable screams echoed continuously from his mouth.
"Seal!"
But Lin Feng didn't care for the noise.
With a soft shout, he retracted the chain, dragging Elder Ying Shan's soul back with it.
"Lin Feng, you—"
The phantom figure had just begun to speak when the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame surged up, completely engulfing him.
"Not a bad haul today. Just one trip out and I've already got a Dou Zong's corpse and a powerful soul."
Lin Feng smiled as he pulled out a jade bottle from his storage ring, sealing Elder Ying Shan's soul within. Then he wrapped the entire bottle with Heavenly Flame to prevent any chance of escape.
After finishing the sealing, lightning flickered under his feet again, and his figure darted toward the corpse below.
Gazing at the massive hole blown into the corpse's skull, Lin Feng couldn't help but shake his head in mild frustration.
With the body this damaged, there was no way it could be used to revive Tian Huo Zun Zhe.
He could only wait until he obtained the Sky Demon Puppet refinement technique and use the body as raw material for crafting a puppet.
"Damn it, little girl! Just how strong are you? You wrecked this guy's corpse like this! I was hoping to use it as a candidate for a new physical body!"
Looking down at the body, Tian Huo Zun Zhe floated out from Lin Feng's ring and beat his chest in frustration.
After all, Elder Ying Shan was a Four-Star Dou Zong — a far better vessel than Yan Luotian, who was only at Two-Star level.
"Hehe, I was too eager to kill that guy. I forgot you still needed a body."
Just then, Zi Yan flew over, scratching her purple ponytail awkwardly as she looked at Tian Huo Zun Zhe, who wore a heartbroken expression.
Just now, she had only wanted to get rid of that old bastard quickly and return to the Inner Academy so Lin Feng could restore the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Everything else had completely slipped her mind.
"Elder Yao, don't blame the little girl. Once we kill that Old Ground Demon Ghost, you'll have a Seven-Star Dou Zong body."
Lin Feng glanced down at the corpse and offered a word of consolation.
Then he hoisted the body, stripped the storage ring from its finger and pocketed it, before storing the corpse into his Serene Sea Storage Ring.
