Outside the battlefield, the three reunited.
The first thing Tang Hong said upon meeting him was, "Liu Yubai is dead."
Lin Feng nodded and waved his hand, pulling Yu and Tang Hong into the ghost realm: "Hong Qi has achieved his goal. Next, he should go find Ni Tiansheng... for revenge."
"Currently, their target should be all members of the Evil Yuan Path, as well as all those who have practiced Evil Yuan Path techniques."
"You've been practicing... the techniques of the Evil Yuan Path?" Tang Hong's teeth itched, and goosebumps rose on his back.
"I was forced to learn a palm technique, and a tentacle grew out of my palm..." Lin Feng stretched out his hand and gestured simply: "The last forced mission world was completely corrupted by the power of the Evil Yuan Path. In order to blend in, I learned a little bit of it."
"Um... your guide wouldn't happen to be from the Evil Yuan Sect, would he?"
"I don't know." Lin Feng shrugged; he couldn't be sure about these things. "But... assuming their plan fails, shouldn't we go and support them now?"
"Support?" Yu and Tang Hong both looked puzzled, seemingly tempted but also somewhat resistant.
"Judging from the current situation, Ni Tiansheng's situation is probably more than just a simple advancement." Lin Feng walked into the courtyard, and the paper figure waiting there immediately opened the main hall door.
As the three sat down, Lin Feng propped himself up on his arms and leaned against the table: "Assuming Hong Qi and the others fail, and assuming Ni Tiansheng is guaranteed to advance, the only one who can help us is Merlin... only the god behind him."
Tang Hong rolled his eyes: "This guy seems to be playing both sides, trying not to offend either... He even proactively divided up the magic book into dozens of copies and took the initiative to teach magic. Who knows if Ni Tiansheng went along with him?"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "However, if we want his help, we must make a sacrifice."
Lin Feng shared his two skills.
"Soul sacrifice: Awaken the will of the gods with a devout soul, become the embodiment of the gods on earth, and walk in the world on behalf of the gods."
"Flesh sacrifice: When the will of the gods descends, the defiled body will be reborn under the baptism of divine power."
"So he already had us figured out?" Tang Hong's relaxed expression immediately changed. Soul sacrifice and body sacrifice, this was no joke.
“If any participants used these spells before, perhaps they left traces in these books as well,” Lin Feng continued. “However… we don’t have time to explore these things. What I want to know most right now is why that spellbook became the key to Ni Tiansheng’s advancement.”
Tang Hong raised an eyebrow and then heard Lin Feng continue, "And how did Hong Qi and the other two know such crucial information? It couldn't have been Ni Tiansheng who revealed it, could it?"
“Hong Qi is completely unyielding. When he first appeared, he only wanted to kill me…” Lin Feng sighed helplessly. There were probably many questions behind this that he didn’t know: “What did Liu Yubai say when he died?”
Upon hearing the question, Tang Hong shook his head awkwardly. He had originally intended to say something, but the other person had become so engrossed in their appearance that he felt embarrassed to interrupt: "No... if Lieblom really is the key to his advancement, then at least it must be..."
Tang Hong stopped there, but the doubt in his eyes revealed his thoughts: the magic book didn't seem like it.
Lin Feng glanced at it but didn't press further. His gaze swept over Yu, whose eyes gleamed with curiosity, and he murmured about the people he'd encountered earlier: "Merlin, Ni Tiansheng, Hong Qi, countless magic books, and..."
Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Has Kurokawa changed at all?"
"he?"
Tang Hong immediately recalled the figure he had seen when exchanging the Great Thousand Records: "No... wait, he seems too calm."
"Yes, it's just too peaceful!" Tang Hong affirmed again. He wouldn't forget that hypocritical face, but he quickly added to himself, "Heh, that kid finally became obedient when he met someone powerful."
Hmm, becoming obedient... Lin Feng's eyes flickered as he looked at Tang Hong. The other party's amazed expression didn't seem fake, but... would someone like Kurokawa Shi really obediently give in? Even though Ni Tiansheng was about to advance, he was still ultimately within this category.
Neither Kurokawa nor Tang Hong seem to have actually fought Ni Tiansheng in a real battle, yet they both tacitly agree that he is extremely strong? Or is it just Tang Hong who tacitly agrees that he is very strong...?
It was precisely this judgment that allowed Ni Tiansheng to remain outside the changes in the entire situation and to dominate the course of events.
Especially after they learned that the other party was preparing to advance, they became anxious and fearful. And when they learned that the magic book would help the other party advance, they became even more hesitant and timid when it came to matters concerning the other party.
A slight ripple appeared in Lin Feng's heart: "What do you think of Ni Tiansheng's strength?"
Tang Hong calmly replied, "Very strong, especially after the second time we met."
How do you think your abilities compare to his?
Tang Hong chuckled lightly: "If we really fight, even if I can't beat him, I have a way to give him the upper hand!"
Do you think he's amazing?
Tang Hong's expression turned serious: "Impressive, he actually managed to subdue Kurokawa Toki..."
Do you think you're amazing?
Tang Hong said proudly, "Let me tell you, as long as that bastard Kurokawa doesn't run away, I can beat him to a pulp every time!"
"So...how amazing do you think he is?"
Tang Hong replied briefly again: "Very impressive."
Lin Feng nodded calmly: "Indeed, very impressive."
That guy... should have learned the Dao of Sitting in Oblivion. If he were even more skilled, his Xin Su ability should have been unlocked as well.
The former relies on deceiving people to cultivate, while the latter relies on wish fulfillment. Both are primordial Qi, the original Qi that gives birth to heaven, earth, humanity, and all things, constituting the basic elements of heaven and earth and all things, thus enabling them to do whatever they want.
The real and the fake complement each other. Even without enough innate Qi to change reality, the combination of these two makes it not too difficult to do whatever you want in other worlds.
"Tang Hong, I need you to do something for me." Lin Feng leaned closer and said mysteriously, "Once Hong Qi and the others have their results, you should go and challenge Merlin on the Olympia Plain."
"Me alone?"
"Hmm..." Lin Feng nodded: "Don't hold back at all."
"Okay!" Tang Hong was a little puzzled, but he still nodded readily.
...
Several hours later.
Lin Feng stared at the ground blasted out of lava, a bead of cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
The magic in the air and the resentment on this plain were wiped away all at once; from high above, the entire continent trembled, and even the ozone layer in the sky seemed to break through with a dazzling halo.
It is a pure miracle of physics.
As for Merlin, who was reduced to ashes in the ultimate attack, there was no notification whatsoever.
Tang Hong was utterly exhausted and had barely caught his breath when he heard Lin Feng's voice drift through the communication: "Be careful."
careful?
Tang Honggang rallied his spirits, when suddenly a figure flashed in the sky and silently appeared behind him.
who?!
A wind blade filled with killing intent blew towards his cheek, and Kurokawa Toki unfurled purple wings on his back, protruding the tip of a snake bone feather fan.
"Whatever..." Seeing this, Shizang, who was also watching the battle, couldn't help but ask, "Is he capable?"
"I don't know." Lin Feng answered without the slightest hesitation: "But with you here, he'll definitely be fine."
"Yo!"
Si Zang's eyes lit up and he immediately perked up, but before he could even smile for a few moments, he saw a feather blade tearing the earth open.
What a waste of your pride...
"You two just need to keep an eye on him and hold him off for as long as you can." Lin Feng walked out of his hiding place and got into the car he had summoned without looking back: "Leave the rest to me and Yu."
"Alright!" Upon seeing this, Si Zang solemnly agreed, with no intention of refusing.
Yu followed Lin Feng into the car, glanced at Si Zang's back before leaving, and closed the car door.
