BOOM!

The two figures rapidly collided into each other before separating rapidly.

Feng Lin was panting heavily, and Feng Shaoyou’s face had also turned red from his exertions.

The two of them fought in close-combat. For a while, they appeared to be evenly-matched.

Feng Lin’s speed and strength were inferior to his opponent, but he discovered one aspect where he was stronger!

His skin was tougher than his opponent’s!

As the proverb said, something that is concentrated would always win in the essence.

Compared to Feng Shaoyou’s current mythological form that was half-snake and half-human, Feng Lin’s form was much tinier. However, his flesh and bones seemed completely like one entity and were as hard as stone; it wasn’t so easy to break him.

The effect of force was mutual. Since the two of them collided head-on, both of them naturally had to endure the impact.

In this case, Feng Lin’s tolerance was higher than Feng Shaoyou!

Bring it on... Mutually injuring each other? Who is scared of who?

Feng Lin could tell that Feng Shaoyou looked only strong in appearance but was weak in reality. His inner structure was brittle.

This Feng Shaoyou had dense scales covering his body, but as long as Feng Lin can penetrate this layer of scales, Feng Shayou’s tendons, muscles, and flesh cannot be considered tough.

Upon facing the energy attacks again, Feng Lin only felt his skin swell, but he was rapidly recovering from his injuries.

On the contrary, Feng Shaoyou was gritting his teeth and his face was completely red. He wasn’t used to suffering pain and couldn’t take it well.

Men need to be hard! If you are not hard then you...

Feng Lin had seen through Feng Shaoyou, and he no longer felt afraid. His finger was akin to swords as he pierced out with them.

Immortal Slaying Sword Imprint!

He unleashed his strongest technique. His finger turned into swords, and a sharp sword intent erupted through the air. This attack was like a sword immortal flying through the sky, wanting to slay gods and immortals.

Naga Dance!

Feng Shaoyou’s eyes narrowed. He could sense how dangerous this attack was.

His body rapidly spun around, and the generated wind from his movements became a storm of wind blades. As the wind blades shot out, they took the form of palm attacks, transforming into a volley of connected palm strikes that launched out unceasingly.

In an instant, Feng Lin was smacked by countless palms. A strange-looking flush appeared on his face, yet his sword qi’s momentum didn’t falter, piercing right through ahead.

His body was flung back from the impact as he once again smashed into the alloy walls that was like a huge rock. The impact actually broke through the wall and created a hole.

Feng Lin’s entire body was trembling, trying to dissipate the force. He slowly stood up while his clothes were torn and tattered again, revealing his flesh.

However, he didn’t panic because he wasn’t at a disadvantage at all.

Feng Shaoyou screamed in pain from the exchange of blows. The scales on his body shattered, revealing a huge wound where blood flowed from it.

His vertical pupils stared ruthlessly at Feng Lin. His rage blazed brilliantly; he wanted nothing more than to burn Feng Lin into ashes.

If earlier he only wanted to teach Feng Lin a lesson, now he truly wanted to act ruthlessly and destroy Feng Lin.

Four Elements Spiritualized!

The four elements rune in Feng Shaoyou’s eyes started to revolve endlessly.

The power of the four elements once again manifested an energy ball that was visible to the naked eye. Actual figures could be seen within that ball. It seemed that something was brewing within.

Feng Lin’s hair stood on its end. For some reason, he could feel a great deal of threat from this.

Fighting against an elite cultivator, if he lost, he would have a bad ending and even if he won, there would be no benefits. It would be too much of a disadvantage if Feng Lin stayed and fight to the death with him.

There was no reason for him to do so, and there was basically no need for it at all.

Out of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was the best one!

Feng Lin’s figure flashed. He turned and ran away with no hesitation.

“Where are you running to?” Feng Shaoyou was extremely angered in his heart.

As a descendant of the Feng Ancestral Clan, he was actually injured by a branch clan’s member. Today, if he couldn’t suppress this brat and it was to leak out in the future, wouldn’t he be ridiculed by his opponents inside the clan?

Roar~ Shriek~ Howl~ Weng~

Four different sounding roars rang out.

Feng Lin narrowed his eyes. He saw a green and red silhouette rapidly expanding before his vision with incredible speed.

He instinctively activated his Stone Monkey Gene. The two silhouettes were like living creatures, rushing at him. Their wings flapped intensely, and their claws lacerated the air, exuding fiery flame energy and bone-chilling ice energy. The creatures actually managed to tear his skin, and the water-fire energy instantly gushed in, causing Feng Lin to feel extreme pain.

God Beating Whip Imprint!

Feng Lin ignored the attacks. His hands formed gestures and lashed out like whips horizontally through space, sweeping the two creatures aside. Only then did he manage to see their true appearances.

One was an azure dragon with a long beard and a horn on its head, and the other creature was a scarlet vermillion bird as bright as fire. Both were floating in the air.

Behind them, a black tortoise with a snake on its tail and a giant white tiger with wings could be seen.

South Vermillion Bird, North Black Tortoise, East Azure Dragon, West White Tiger!

The four spirit beasts occupied the four directions, surrounding him, giving him no way to escape.

Feng Lin’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He didn’t expect the four elements of Feng Shaoyou to be capable of such a wondrous transformation. They were actually able to manifest four spirit beasts.

From dead to living, the energy attributes also underwent a qualitative transformation.

The fire wasn’t mortal fire! It was the Brightsouth Lifire that could incinerate the myriad of creatures!

The water wasn’t mortal water! It was the Mysticgloom Blackwater that could freeze heavens and earth!

The earth wasn’t mortal earth! It was a grain that weighed a thousand catties, capable of producing life!

The wind wasn’t mortal wind! It was the Samadhi Divine Wind that could even absorb souls!

...

All the energy types transformed and gained the embryonic forms of the legendary creatures. Such power had already exceeded the endurance limit of his Stone Monkey Gene. Feng Lin instinctively felt a threat from them.

Under Feng Shaoyou’s control, the four spirit beasts roared angrily and lunged toward Feng Lin.

The azure dragon caused waves ten-thousand-feet tall to rise. Its lanky body spiraled around Feng Lin, looking for an opportunity to attack.

The vermillion bird’s cries rent the air. With every flap of its wings, it generated blazing flames, manifesting a sea of fire.

The white tiger roared in rage. Its sharp claws were like wind blades, wanting to tear Feng Lin into pieces.

The black tortoise was immensely strong, wanting to collide head-on with Feng Lin. It was like a golden mountain that wanted to crush everything before its eyes into pieces.

...

These spiritual beasts of the four elements might be manifested by energy and wasn’t truly corporeal. However, they did contain a hint of divine grace from the four spiritual beasts of the legends which allowed them to have such overwhelming might.

Four spirit beasts of the four elements. Earth, Wind, Water, Fire—all of these four basic types of energy gushed forth one after another from the manifested creatures. Feng Lin struggled to defend, but the sharp claws of the spirit beasts lacerated his skin.

For a moment, Feng Lin seemed like a ferocious warrior in an ancient colosseum, fighting against four dangerous beasts in a battle of life and death. The fight was incomparably intense.

Bullet Time!

Seeing that the situation was rapidly growing worse, Feng Lin instantly activated his Adrenaline Gene and entered the state of Bullet Time. His perception grew quicker as he agilely evaded the attacks from the spirit beasts. His thoughts grew faster too as he tried to think of a strategy.

After all, this Feng Shaoyou was an elite cultivator and was very powerful with many techniques at his disposal. Feng Shaoyou wasn’t someone he could defeat just because he wanted to.

He had to find an opportunity to leave!

Eh?

“I’m being surrounded by the four spirit beasts, and this should be a heavenly opportunity for him. Why doesn’t he attack together? Wouldn’t he be able to defeat me faster if he joins in? Could it be...”

Feng Lin felt that he found the crux of the situation. He turned his gaze to Feng Shaoyou only to see that Feng Shaoyou was rapidly performing hand gestures, his vertical pupils revolving around. He was sweating profusely as well.

It seemed that this technique would require an astronomical amount of energy, was Feng Shaoyou at his limits?

A cold smile appeared on Feng Lin’s face.

Although this technique was exceedingly powerful, there was a price to be paid. Given Feng Shaoyou’s current cultivation base, it was very tough for him to maintain it for a long time.

At this moment, the four spirit beasts opened their mouths, and waves of energy gathered as an energy stream of each element rushed forth.

Feng Lin’s heart stirred but he didn’t evade. In fact, he turned and had his back facing them.

“Is he courting death?” Feng Shaoyou had a malevolent smile on his face.

However, at the next moment, Feng Lin’s body trembled violently. He actually chose to endure the energy attack! After that, he shot forth like a fired arrow, using this opportunity to break free from the entanglement and was rushing straight toward Feng Shaoyou.

“Not good!” Feng Shaoyou’s expression drastically changed but there was no time for him to dodge. Feng Lin’s hands formed into claws as they blasted out. At the next moment, Feng Lin’s emotionless face appeared right before his vision.
