Chapter 239: Burning Love
Seeing this, Jun Yunshang couldn’t help but regret not giving the elixir to Lin Fengmian earlier.
Indecision leads to chaos!
Jun Jueli laughed heartily and called out, “Shui Yu, is the formation ready? Take care of him for me!”
The seductive woman beside him nodded and said, “It’s ready. The boy won’t escape this time.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the formation was activated, and the scenery around Lin Fengmian and Jun Yunshang changed rapidly, becoming unfamiliar. At the same time, a series of real and illusory illusions flooded in, with the female cultivator hiding among them, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.
Lin Fengmian casually discarded the ruined top-grade Spirit Fusion Pill, which then split into multiple fragments and continued to battle the elusive female cultivator.
Jun Jueli stood in mid-air, watching Lin Fengmian’s stubborn resistance within the formation, and laughed out loud.
“Hurry up and capture this brat!”
Delaying could lead to unforeseen changes; he didn’t want to play around anymore.
“Yes!” Shui Yu responded and, along with her guards, transformed into streaks of light and flew into the formation.
Now trapped within the formation, Lin Fengmian faced the elusive high-level opponents who coordinated with the formation, finding it difficult to keep up. However, with Luo Xue’s powerful divine consciousness, he could still anticipate their movements and avoid defeat.
“Lin Fengmian, unleash the power of thunder within me. If you continue like this, you’re bound to lose,” Luo Xue sighed.
Lin Fengmian had to admit that he was a bit overconfident. Although he had killed Dulong, he hadn’t considered the sudden appearance of the female Daoist.
She appeared and disappeared unpredictably, occasionally unleashing a soul attack on Lin Fengmian.
Even with Luo Xue’s divine consciousness blocking, it still left him in a daze, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
“No, if we do that, our chances of defeating the Sword Saint will be greatly reduced,” Lin Fengmian replied calmly.
He didn’t believe that in a battle of this magnitude, the Heaven-Soaring Sword Saint wouldn’t have ways to monitor everyone’s actions.
Releasing the thunder power within Luo Xue would indeed eliminate the enemies, but it would also be recorded.
When the Heaven-Soaring Sword Saint was prepared, it would be impossible to catch him off guard again.
Using the heavenly thunder within her was a powerful move.
Luo Xue fell silent and said helplessly, “But if you continue like this, your soul will be severely damaged!”
Lin Fengmian took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. “Luo Xue, didn’t you ask me what technique the Demon Emperor Technique gives me at the Soul Severing Realm?”
“I’ll demonstrate it now!”
Luo Xue was taken aback and asked, “What technique?”
“Coincidentally, the requirements are met here. Perhaps this is the will of Heaven.”Lin Fengmian spoke as he bit his finger and quickly formed hand seals.
He lowered his mask slightly, drew a line on his forehead, wiped his eyes, and then shouted, “Burning Love!”
Suddenly, a fierce wind howled and an unknown cold mist enveloped the area. Everyone heard whispers in their ears, making them shudder as if some evil presence was awakening, with countless eyes staring at them.
It seemed that something was constantly flying around them, converging on Lin Fengmian in the center, and a black mist could be faintly seen swirling around.
The female Daoist couldn’t believe her eyes.”What have you done? Are you insane?”
She clearly saw the grievances of the dead civilians in the city converging on Lin Fengmian, flowing into his body.
This person was using himself as a container, absorbing various negative energies-evil qi, grievances, ghost qi, anger, and other negative emotions.
It was somewhat similar to channeling a deity, but only absorbing emotions while maintaining his own will, more like being driven by anger.
Luo Xue, being a righteous and powerful cultivator, saw it more clearly.
She could see the grievances of all the dead civilians in the city converging on Lin Fengmian.
These people, who had suffered unjustly and endured torture before their deaths, were accumulating their grievances, which eventually formed a towering wave of negative energy.
Burning love, transforming emotions into power.
Lin Fengmian’s secret technique burned these emotions, converting them into his own strength and making his aura rise dramatically.
At one point, he had reached the pinnacle of the Soul Severing Realm, but now his aura was almost on par with that of a Unity Realm cultivator.
“Lin Fengmian, stop this right now! You can’t control this malevolent energy!” Luo Xue shouted anxiously.
“Stop? It’s too late for that!”
Lin Fengmian chuckled lightly, his brow’s blood energy gleaming intensely.
When he opened his eyes again, they were pitch black, devoid of whites, exuding an eerie, ghostly aura.
A wicked grin spread across his face, and his body began to emanate waves of dark energy, as if a whisper surrounded him.
With a swift swing of the Zhen Yuan, he struck an unoccupied area, eliciting a blood-curdling scream that sent shivers down one’s spine.
As Lin Fengmian withdrew his hand, the sword was covered in blood, dripping slowly.
He licked his lips and laughed, “Have you had your fun? Now it’s my turn!”
The thunderous energy no longer surged around him, replaced by an overwhelming yin energy that prevented him from harnessing the heavenly thunder.
Undeterred, Lin Fengmian transformed into a fleeting shadow, disappearing into thin air and quickly navigating the array formation.
The array’s attacks, though swift, couldn’t keep up with his accelerated speed, which had increased by leaps and bounds.
He swiftly created multiple illusory clones, and remarkably, the phantasms around him began to solidify, enabling them to withstand a single strike without dissipating.
The array’s misty illusions and hallucinations lost all effectiveness against him as the omnipresent Yin Souls served as his eyes, rendering all opponents visible to his wicked gaze.
He quickly zeroed in on a target within the array and, disregarding all else, tenaciously clung to that individual.
Ignoring the attacks from others, he traded blows, ultimately slaying the person through sheer force.
“Next!”
Lin Fengmian’s cold laughter echoed, and his form dissipated, only to reappear in front of another person having swapped places with one of his illusions.
The target, who was initially convinced that he was facing a mere ghost, was terrified by the sudden materialization of the real Lin Fengmian.
As Lin Fengmian laughed maniacally, he used the person as a shield, navigating through the barrage of attacks.
After the human died, Lin Fengmian instantly dissipated and reappeared elsewhere in the array, having swapped places with another illusion.
“This guy is impossible to trace! Which one is the real one?”
“I’m the real one!” someone shouted.
“No, I am!” The enchanting woman, Shui Yu, struggled to fend off Lin Fengmian’s attacks.
Both sides were convinced that they were facing the real thing, which was indeed true-they both interacted with the real Lin Fengmian at different times.
Only Luo Xue, residing within Lin Fengmian, grasped the truth: he was rapidly switching between the two.
Seizing the brief windows between his opponents’ attacks, Lin Fengmian would swap positions, creating the illusion of being in two places simultaneously.
Aware that Shui Yu was the array’s controller, Lin Fengmian leveraged his advantage by relentlessly pressuring her.
Soon, Shui Yu was defeated, her array disk shattered by Lin Fengmian’s sword. The array collapsed.
Lin Fengmian placed a hand on her head, unleashing a torrent of spiritual energy that bound her Nascent Soul Realm within her body.
With a twisted grin, he casually broke her limbs, “Didn’t you once say you’d break my limbs, leaving me to beg for life or death? This feeling is quite… entertaining, don’t you think?”
