Why did Lin Feng put his sword away?
"What's the difference between a swordsman who doesn't use a sword and cutting off his own arm?!"
"How foolish!"
"Could it be that they realize they are no match and are preparing to admit defeat?"
No, of course not.
Shen Xiaohong saw the fighting spirit in Lin Feng's eyes. How could someone so full of fighting spirit choose to admit defeat when he was at the height of his power?
Without hesitation, he manipulated the countless sword energies that crashed down like a startled swan, their momentum astonishing, turning most of the sky a brilliant gold.
"This is the power of righteousness!"
Xuan Yanhuang's tone was filled with envy.
"Only those with a righteous spirit can cultivate this art. If an ordinary person rashly attempts to cultivate it, their meridians will be severed and their dantian will be completely destroyed!"
On the other side, Lin Feng's aura surged, and he broke through two realms in a short period of time!
Divine Tribulation Realm Level 5!
"Nine Heavens Divine Evolution Hand!"
The Nine Heavens Divine Hand is a technique derived from the Nine Heavens Demonic Hand!
A golden palm print, hundreds of feet long, covered another part of the sky, and the dazzling gold covered the entire palace of the Xuan Yan Dynasty!
To Shen Xiaohong's astonishment, the golden palm print slowly descended. With each inch it fell, the sword energy he had painstakingly condensed collapsed at a visible speed, turning into countless golden specks of light that disappeared without a trace.
It was an almost overwhelming victory!
Shen Xiaohong still adhered to the three-move agreement; he would not use any other moves until this move was over!
This is a promise!
He watched helplessly as the sword energy he had condensed completely collapsed, and the color of the golden palm print gradually faded, but in the end, it still landed solidly on Shen Xiaohong's thin body.
The moment the palm print landed, a golden barrier condensed on Shen Xiaohong's body, helping him block the giant palm. This was not his intention, but a mark left for him by his family's protector before he left. As long as he sensed danger, he would immediately activate it without hesitation.
Shen Xiaohong's body flew backward, leaving a long trail on the ground. He was not injured, but the young master looked somewhat disheveled.
"Young Master Divine!"
"Hurry up and help the young master up!"
"A bunch of clueless idiots, get back here!"
Mo Yuandao shouted sharply, directly shutting out the group of eunuchs who were scrambling forward to help Shen Xiaohong.
Seeing Xuan Yanhuang's gloomy face, he said in a deep voice, "Traitorous good-for-nothings! You were nowhere to be seen when we were challenging him, but now you're all so eager! The Divine Young Master values fairness the most, and you brazenly went up to help him up, are you ignoring the rules set by the Divine Young Master?"
Everyone suddenly realized their mistake and quickly said, "We were rash! Please forgive us, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Xuan Yan simply smiled faintly.
Mo Yuandao had already conveyed his meaning, so there was no need for him to reprimand him further.
"Cough cough..."
Shen Xiaohong stood up from the ground, clutching his chest, and said, "Brother Lin, I have lost this battle."
"Oh? Didn't Brother Xiaohong just say that if I took these three moves, we should continue fighting to determine the winner?"
Lin Feng landed on the ground and said with a smile.
"No."
Shen Xiaohong shook his head vigorously.
"When that palm print just now landed, the barrier given to me by the family's protector was activated, blocking that move and breaking our three-move agreement. According to the rules, I have already lost!"
Lin Feng was taken aback.
From these few words of conversation, it is clear that Shen Xiaohong is even more stubborn than Luo Shengfeng.
The two had just become more intense, but Shen Xiaohong did not trigger Lin Feng's curse, which shows that he had no intention of harming Lin Feng and simply wanted to determine the winner.
In the original Heavenly Path route, if Lin Feng hadn't appeared, Shen Xiaohong would have quickly lost interest in the Xuan Yan Dynasty and gone to the Tian Shu Gate instead, where he met the protagonist of destiny, Li Jingxiao. The two hit it off immediately and became sworn brothers. Later, when Li Jingxiao became the Qingxuan Sword Emperor, Shen Xiaohong had already taken over the Zhou Tian God Realm. Afterwards, Li Jingxiao entered the King Realm and made great contributions to Shen Xiaohong, becoming one of the four Order Keepers...
That's how it should have been.
But with Lin Feng's involvement, things obviously won't go as smoothly anymore.

"Brother Xiaohong, this challenge is not over yet."
Lin Feng looked at Feng Yushang, who was staring expectantly to the side, and explained with a smile, "That person is my maid. She is now also at the Divine Tribulation Realm. I wonder if she is qualified to challenge Brother Xiaohong?"
Shen Xiaohong nodded solemnly.
"Everyone is equal, so what's this talk of qualifications? Anyone who is confident in their own cultivation can come and fight me!"
"Moreover, Brother Lin's maid is presumably no ordinary person either, but before that..."
He hesitated for a moment, then clasped his hands in a fist and asked Emperor Xuan Yan, "Your Majesty, may I ask if anyone was injured in the buildings I just destroyed?"
"unmanned."
Emperor Xuan Yan shook his head and said, "Before the battle between you and Lin Feng began, I cleared out all the palace staff from those buildings. You don't need to worry."
"That's excellent."
Shen Xiaohong breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Feng Yushang, and said, "May I ask your name, young lady?"
“Feng Yushang, you may call me Miss Feng.”
Feng Yushang's name may be very well-known in the Northern Divine Region, but no one outside the Northern Divine Region knows her. Even the few order keepers in the King Realm would not care about a clan chief's daughter; they only have their eyes on the Lin family.
Her flowing robes fluttered down, her eyes and brows radiating captivating charm.
