"Damn it!"
Luo Jiang watched nervously and couldn't help but grip the armrests of his chair tightly.
"The wooden puppet... could it have lost to him?!"
The wooden puppet is the last trump card of their Mujiang Chamber of Commerce. If even it is defeated, they will lose everything at the Rising Dragon Gate Celebration!
Luo Jiang glanced at the betting areas on both sides and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Fan Xing blew on the tea leaves without saying a word.
"Primordial Sword Formation!"
Buzz!
The sword formation rose from the ground with earth-shattering power, and at the same time, a terrifying sword intent rippled through the heavens and earth.
The wooden puppet looked terrified.
"Sword intent!"
That wasn't an illusion. The unusual spiritual energy he sensed was actually the sword intent that Lin Feng had unintentionally released!
In an instant, the spiritual energy threads connecting him to the puppets were completely severed, and the three puppets collapsed to the ground, their spiritual energy dissipating, leaving only three empty shells lying there.
The wooden puppet suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered back several steps, and barely managed to steady itself just before falling off the stage.
He saw Luo Jiang's eyes, which were undoubtedly threatening him. If the wooden puppet failed, the Mujiang Chamber of Commerce would immediately take action and kill him!
This is the consistent rule of the Mujiang Chamber of Commerce: if you do a good job, you'll be rewarded handsomely, but if you don't... well, death awaits you.
Mujiang Chamber of Commerce does not accept waste!
So at the crucial moment, the wooden puppet stopped.
He glanced in the direction of Luo Jiang and swallowed imperceptibly.
"Um?"
Lin Feng's expression shifted slightly.
He wasn't blind, so he could see that the wooden puppet had wanted to fall off the stage and admit defeat without losing face, but Luo Jiang put pressure on it, forcing it to stop.
A look of struggle flashed across the wooden puppet's face.
He was never a genius; on the contrary, he was an utterly mediocre martial artist. Among those of the same cultivation level, if not for puppetry, the wooden puppet rarely achieved victory. Now, facing Lin Feng, who possessed such strong talent and even comprehended sword intent, the wooden puppet couldn't help but feel a sense of retreat.
He always felt inferior in the face of true geniuses.
But the oppressive feeling brought by Luo Jiang forced him to fight to the death!
The wooden puppet took a deep breath.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood from his heart, and then summoned a scarlet puppet that looked exactly like him.
The wooden puppet, its face pale, pointed at Lin Feng and said fiercely, "Heavenly Puppet, kill him!"
"Hiss...this puppet is interesting!"
"I heard that a few years ago, the Wooden Puppet Sect led the entire sect to that ruin in search of this Heavenly Puppet. In order to obtain this Heavenly Puppet, the entire Wooden Puppet Sect was even destroyed!"
"Now that I look at it, this puppet is indeed very powerful, and its cultivation level is basically no different from that of the wooden puppet itself."
"Lin Feng is quite capable; he can make the wooden puppet reveal its trump card!"
"Now we've reached the crucial moment of the decisive battle. Let's see if Lin Feng can hold out!"
"Nonsense! Don't forget, Lin Feng hasn't even revealed his trump cards yet! If both sides use all their trump cards, even the wooden puppet might not be a match for Lin Feng!"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, his expression indifferent.
Is it a Celestial Puppet?
Tiankui let out a roar and threw a fierce and powerful punch at Lin Feng.
There were no fancy moves; the attack relied entirely on the user's spiritual power!
"Your sword can't block this punch!"
The wooden puppet's eyes were bloodshot as it stared intently at Lin Feng.
He just smiled faintly.
"Yeah?"
Thousands of sword energies materialized behind Lin Feng, and this overwhelming power made even the many martial artists watching around the arena tremble in fear!
They stared wide-eyed, their gaze fixed on the very center of the ring!
Whoosh!
In an instant, the Heavenly Puppet was suddenly torn apart by the overwhelming sword energy, without even having a chance to resist!
With several sword beams flashing, the Heavenly Puppet was completely torn to pieces!
The Heavenly Puppet has now been refined into its natal puppet by the Wooden Puppet. With the natal puppet damaged and destroyed, the Wooden Puppet itself also suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, its face pale and its body swaying precariously.
The Primordial Immortal Sword was pointed at his throat, containing intense killing intent!
The wooden puppet's knees buckled, and it knelt on the ground, letting out a miserable laugh.
The elder referee's eyes flashed. He originally wanted to speak up to stop him, but was stopped by Fan Xing. So he sat back down and dared not interfere with Lin Feng's behavior any further.
Luo Jiang's forehead veins bulged.
"Brother Fan, quickly have Elder Fan stop Lin Feng!"
"President Luo, isn't this inappropriate?"
Fan Xing raised an eyebrow and said, "When Yuan Zhuang killed Chen Quan and Lin Feng killed Yuan Zhuang, none of the elders of my Chamber of Commerce spoke up to stop them. If they were to speak up to stop the wooden puppet when it was in trouble, it would inevitably be suspected of favoritism. If this arouses the dissatisfaction of other martial artists and they investigate further, once they discover the truth, wouldn't all our plans over the years be in vain?"
He could imagine how excited those martial artists would be if it were revealed that the Dragon Ascension Ceremony, which was regarded as a traditional event by countless martial artists, was actually a means for the two major merchant guilds to amass wealth.
"What a piece of trash!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiang could only curse angrily and abandon the idea.
He's just a Soul Realm expert; the Mujiang Chamber of Commerce has plenty of those. There's no need for them to put themselves in danger because of a wooden puppet.
Fan Xing is right. These martial artists are very well-informed. If they are discovered, what good will it do if the two major merchant guilds are well-known forces in the area? In the end, they will probably still be despised by everyone, or even face the destruction of their guilds.
It's not worth it for a wooden puppet!
Luo Jiang lowered his eyes, no longer paying attention to what was happening on the stage.
Under the astonished and wary gazes of others, Lin Feng thrust his sword down!
He has never been one to show mercy!
Warm blood spurted onto the arena, causing the crowd to gasp in disbelief.
"Alas... This wooden puppet survived such a great calamity, but was defeated by a young martial artist. Truly, life is unpredictable."
"I thought this would be the opportunity for the wooden puppet to regain its fame, but I never expected... I really never expected this!"
"Speaking of which, Lin Feng is quite ruthless."
"Nonsense! They're about to kill him. If it were you, would you keep the wooden puppet alive instead of killing him? You're so indecisive. You probably won't even know how you died!"
"Come on, everyone, guess who will make it to the end!"
Congratulations, Brother Lin!
Ye Lingya was also quite excited. He didn't expect that Lin Feng had already broken through to the Divine Soul Realm, and he didn't expect that he could defeat the wooden puppet so easily!
It was absolutely effortless!
"Not worth mentioning."
Lin Feng smiled and waved his hand, clearly not taking it seriously.
It was just one battle; countless battles like this would follow in his future growth.
Lin Feng wins!
"Let's continue!"
Luo Jiang glared at Lin Feng fiercely, then reluctantly looked away.
"Young master, I want..."
Mo Ye narrowed his eyes and made a throat-slitting gesture.
