Chapter 148 - 147: A Single Finger Breaks the Thunder

Chapter 148: Chapter 147: A Single Finger Breaks the Thunder"Junior Brother!" Huang Nian exclaimed in shock as he instantly swept up into the air, catching Wen Lin and landing steadily on the ground. Seeing Wen Lin’s face covered in blood and his chest cavity collapsed, having already fainted, Huang Nian’s complexion was terribly grim. Although he usually did not show much goodwill towards Wen Lin, their feelings ran deep. Now that he saw how miserably Wen Lin had been beaten, how could he, as an elder brother, bear it?! "You’re cheating!" "The battle hasn’t even ended, yet you take the stage on your own initiative? Is this how it’s done?!" However, Huang Nian’s sudden move elicited a torrent of outraged curses from the students of Lie Tian Academy. Even Zhang Yanliang couldn’t help frowning slightly and said, "Emperor Immortal Sect, you’ve broken the rules, haven’t you?" The disciples of the Emperor Immortal Sect all had extremely unsightly expressions, but had no words to retort with. They had originally thought that Wen Lin was going to win, but they hadn’t expected Lin Feiyan to be such a monster. He had taken a Cold Ice Palm from Wen Lin without any harm, and then counterattacked immediately, effectively crippling Wen Lin! To know, Wen Lin was of the Earth Element Seventh Layer, a top-tier marquis, with strength not much different from Liu Tianhao’s. Yet, even with the advantage, he had still lost so miserably, something they had not anticipated. "Lin Feiyan, why did you have to be so ruthless?" Holding Wen Lin, Huang Nian glared at Lin Feiyan, his eyes filled with gloom. Lin Feiyan looked calm, casually smiled and said, "Honestly, I had already held back, otherwise your junior brother would be dust and bones." Upon hearing this, Huang Nian burst into an angry laugh, saying mockingly, "Had I not caught him in time just now, would you have made another move, trying to kill my junior brother?" From what Lin Feiyan implied, it was as if he had been merciful, huh? Lin Feiyan slightly shook his head, "He is my opponent; to pull my punches would be the greatest disrespect to him. However, since you’re angry, you can replace him as my opponent in the next match." Huang Nian’s expression shifted slightly, his mind wrestling with the situation. Though he hated Lin Feiyan for severely injuring Wen Lin, he had also seen how strong Lin Feiyan was. With his own strength, he probably had little chance of defeating him. His strength was only a bit stronger than Lin Feiyan’s. And yet, Lin Feiyan absolutely crushed Wen Lin! The gap between them was very clear. Seeing Huang Nian’s hesitation, Lin Feiyan’s brow furrowed slightly, "On one hand, you talk about your junior brother’s miserable state, but on the other, you dare not accept a challenge from your enemy?" "But it’s fine, after all, a wise man does not fight when the odds are against him, whether you fight or not makes no difference, I will win either way," said Lin Feiyan indifferently. "Careful your big words don’t twist your tongue!" Unable to tolerate this, Huang Nian immediately said, "Come on, let’s fight!" "Liu Tianhao, take good care of junior brother Wen Lin!" Huang Nian entrusted Wen Lin to Liu Tianhao. Liu Tianhao flew beside Huang Nian, taking Wen Lin, and when he saw the extent of Wen Lin’s injuries, Liu Tianhao’s face darkened, and his eyes turned cold. "Be careful yourself." Liu Tianhao left a message and then took Wen Lin back to Ye Xuan. After seeing the severity of Wen Lin’s injuries, Liu Tianhao was aware of the terrifying extent of Lin Feiyan’s power. Huang Nian was definitely no match... After exiting the arena, Lu Chengde personally tended to Wen Lin’s injuries, easing the critical threat to his life. "Big Brother, it seems you will have to step in," said Liu Tianhao softly. "No rush," Ye Xuan stroked his chin, pensive, "Once he finishes with Huang Nian, he will definitely continue to challenge others, I guess he will pick you. You should directly refuse later, and then let Youwei fight him." Liu Tianhao was stunned for a moment before nodding in agreement. The strength of Lin Feiyan was beyond imagination; even a gauntlet of fights seemed unlikely to best him. Since Lin Feiyan had defeated Wen Lin without hardly using any True Qi or strength. "Let’s begin." Above the arena, with one hand behind his back, Lin Feiyan looked at Huang Nian and smiled. That demeanor was almost completely dismissive of Huang Nian! "Brother Lin, kill this rule-breaker!" On the side of Lie Tian Academy, many students were shouting. Huang Nian’s sudden appearance annoyed them greatly, and with the strength that Lin Feiyan displayed, they were fully confident in him. "This guy looks like a weakling, definitely no match for Brother Lin." "I bet this guy can’t withstand three moves from Brother Lin." "Three moves? You think too highly of him, I bet he won’t withstand a single move." Some students brazenly made such bold claims. Hearing those words, Huang Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of murderous intent flickering in his heart. But he knew very well what kind of existence he was facing. The power of this man before him was undoubtedly more formidable than Yang Jinchun. If it really came to a fight, he definitely wouldn’t stand a chance. But since he had already agreed to fight, he had to at least withstand for a while, losing with dignity if not with victory! With this in mind, Huang Nian let out a low shout as the Dao Patterns activated. Crack, crack, crack———— In an instant, azure thunderbolt Dao Patterns surged around Huang Nian’s body, engulfing him as if he were covered by a sphere of lightning, bursting with crackling explosions. Bolts of lightning intermittently appeared, sending shivers down one’s scalp. At this moment, Huang Nian seemed to transform into a Divine Lord wielding thunderbolts, with an aura of destruction circulating around him. On the surface, Huang Nian was a disciple of Yu Wenlei, but in reality, they both hailed from a Sect’s Sacred Land—Thunder Cloud Mountain. The Daoist Magic Huang Nian cultivated also involved the Thunder Technique, and the Dao Patterns he inscribed within the Inscriptions Realm were those of the thunderbolt. The shining Thunderbolt Dao Patterns erupted with a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering divine might. "Thousand Thunder Body!" Huang Nian roared, his True Qi fully unleashed. Boom! A muffled thunderous sound echoed. The Thunderbolt Dao Patterns on Huang Nian’s body astonishingly fused into him. Subsequently, Huang Nian’s body visibly swelled at a rapid pace, transforming into a three-meter-tall thunder giant covered in lightning. "Thousand Thunder Body, the Daoist Magic of Thunder Cloud Mountain..." Atop the Daoist arena’s high platform, Hong Yunlie’s lips slightly curled. Zhou Zihuang said nothing. In fact, he had long been aware of the origins of Yu Wenlei and Huang Nian. Yu Wenlei, Huang Nian, and Wen Lin were known as cultivators from the region around Xuanzhu Mountain, but five years earlier, all of them had been cultivating at Thunder Cloud Mountain. For some unknown reason, they became Loose Cultivators, dominating the area around Xuanzhu Mountain. "This old man heard that there’s also a young one from Yungang Mountain—why didn’t you bring him along this time? Among your newly recruited disciples, isn’t that little fellow the one with the cleanest foundation?" Hong Yunlie spoke slowly and deliberately. Zhou Zihuang smiled indifferently, calmly responding, "Dean Hong seems to be quite observant of matters concerning our Sect." The person Hong Yunlie referred to was naturally the master-disciple duo of Wei Yungang and Yang Jinchun. However, this pair had already been killed five days ago, and naturally, they couldn’t possibly attend. But Hong Yunlie was clearly unaware of this affair. Zhou Zihuang, of course, wasn’t foolish enough to reveal this matter. "As neighbors, it’s only natural to keep in touch," said Hong Yunlie with a smile. "However, this time at the exchange conference, my Lie Tian Academy is determined to prevail." Not to mention Zhang Yanliang; just Lin Feiyan alone would probably mean that Emperor Immortal Sect has no one else available for battle. After all, Zhou Youwei was being saved for the fight with Zhang Yanliang. And when it came to Ye Xuan... There was no need for further words. Hong Yunlie thought to himself. This battle was already as good as won by Lie Tian Academy. "Is that so?" Zhou Zihuang didn’t take Hong Yunlie’s words to heart. While they conversed, the battle in the Daoist arena had already begun. Huang Nian activated his Thousand Thunder Body and pushed his strength to the limit, charging at Lin Feiyan. Wherever Huang Nian passed, thunder roared and crackled, making one’s scalp explode. Facing the ferocious onslaught of Huang Nian, Lin Feiyan’s eyes were crystal clear, utterly calm, without a trace of panic. Lin Feiyan stared intently at the incoming Huang Nian, extending his right hand while his index and middle fingers formed a sword finger, activating the War God Body. Hum———— Golden light radiated outwards, and Lin Feiyan, like a mini sun, burst forth with astonishing divine might. Boom! This time, Lin Feiyan took the initiative to strike! As fast as lightning, his attack was like rolling thunder! In the air, a sonic boom burst forth. "Break!" Lin Feiyan bellowed, appearing in front of Huang Nian at an even faster speed, and before Huang Nian could lay out a palm, Lin Feiyan’s sword finger directly touched Huang Nian’s forehead. Boom———— In a flash, an explosive sound rang out. Huang Nian’s Thousand Thunder Body instantly vanished. Huang Nian returned to his human form, but his entire body was charred, as if struck by lightning.

Liu Tianhao stared at Huang Nian, who lay rigid on the ground, his pupils suddenly contracting.
