Chapter 1457: Tacit Cooperation (Fifth Update)

Under Zhou Yang’s gaze, Lin Feng barely paused, and then decisively lunged towards the Avatar of the King of Hell, without any hesitation at all…

“Die!” The Avatar of the King of Hell disdainfully shouted, the Ice Sword in her hand flicking as it stabbed towards Lin Feng’s chest… In her mind, at such close range, this Ice Sword, moving at an initial speed even faster than sound, should definitely be able to instantly kill Lin Feng!

However, to the Avatar of the King of Hell’s surprise, at the moment her Ice Sword was unleashed… Lin Feng’s figure vanished in an instant!

Yet it wasn’t a complete disappearance… With the perception ability of the Sixth Heaven realm, the Avatar of the King of Hell could clearly sense that Lin Feng had only used his remaining Innate Vitality to force his body through space, spanning a few meters to appear at another location… A crude movement technique, yet perfectly avoiding her devastating Ice Sword!

“How is this possible?!” The Avatar of the King of Hell’s eyes widened, unable to fathom how Lin Feng could react so quickly, avoiding her intended killing strike with a very ordinary Innate technique…

“Why is it impossible!” Lin Feng’s figure appeared before the King of Hell, raising his dagger high, sneering as he spoke, “Now it’s my turn to strike!”

“No!” The King of Hell’s figure flickered, retreating three meters in the air to avoid Lin Feng’s stab, her exquisite face showing a maddened expression, “You’re merely a lowly ant, how could you be my match!”

After saying this, the King of Hell raised her hand again, palm facing Lin Feng, preparing to strike again…

However, at that moment, a clattering sound arose as a long iron chain descended from the sky, precisely looping around the King of Hell’s pale neck, tightening forcefully…

“What does it matter if you’re an ant, when it comes to killing an arrogant fool like you, an ant suffices!”

An extremely arrogant voice came from behind the King of Hell, belonging to the long-hidden Zhou Yang, who had finally waited for the perfect opportunity to strike. As the King of Hell evaded Lin Feng’s attack, Zhou Yang leapt high from the ground, using his long manacles as a rope to choke the King of Hell from behind, creating the best opportunity for Lin Feng to kill!

“Boss, strike!” Zhou Yang looked at Lin Feng with wild eyes, shouting excitedly.

“Ah…” The King of Hell, both shocked and furious, threw her right elbow heavily backward…

Bang! Zhou Yang was struck by the Avatar of the King of Hell’s right elbow, his body involuntarily arching backward, his mouth immediately spitting out a mist of blood…

Yet even so, the King of Hell still couldn’t free herself from Zhou Yang’s restraint!

Lin Feng suppressed all his emotions, adjusting his state in an instant, channeling all his Inner Strength to unleash the strongest strike of his Dagger Killing Technique… God of the Year!

A flash of pale Inner Strength light passed by, and as the light dissipated, the nearly thirty-centimeter dagger in Lin Feng’s hand had already fully pierced through the King of Hell’s neck, protruding from the back, the blood-dripping dagger just shy of reaching Zhou Yang’s forehead…

The King of Hell’s eyes widened, looking at Lin Feng in disbelief, as everything seemed to return to calm!

“Hehe…”

Just as Lin Feng and Zhou Yang thought it was over, an extremely unpleasant sound suddenly emitted from the King of Hell’s throat, a black, mist-like substance slowly seeping from her body, forming a black humanoid mist above her head…

What the hell is this?! Lin Feng looked at the mist in surprise, gripping the dagger tightly as he withdrew it from the corpse’s neck.

And the severely injured Zhou Yang staggered back two steps, looking at the eerie mist with a bitter smile on his face, “What the hell is this, aren’t we done fighting? I can’t hold on any longer…”

“This is the pure power injected by the Avatar Realm expert!” At this moment, Master Hong Yi spoke again, looking at the black mist with a peculiar expression, calmly explaining, “Normally, when the avatar is destroyed, this unconscious pure power should return to the main body, but the Sixth Heaven expert is too far away, so the power can’t locate the position of the main body, and even if it could, it’s too far away to return…”

“Then how should we handle this thing?” Lin Feng instinctively asked, and then to his surprise, he found that the black mist was rushing toward him at incredible speed…

“Whoa…” Lin Feng had no time to evade and found that the mist completely merged into his body, making him feel an icy chill, as though he were submerged in cold water.

“Boss, are you okay?” Zhou Yang looked at Lin Feng in surprise, a wary expression on his face… he wondered if the boss had been possessed by a ghost?!

“I… I don’t know…” After a moment of surprise, Lin Feng found that his body hadn’t changed much, then glanced at Master Hong Yi, instinctively asking, “Master, can you explain my current situation?!”

Master Hong Yi gave Lin Feng a peculiar look before saying softly, “Congratulations, benefactor Lin Feng, that power which acts on instinct has chosen you as its new host, residing within you. With the power seed of a Sixth Heaven expert, your cultivation speed will be extremely fast in the future, and you might even reach the Sixth Heaven realm in no time…”

“Sounds like a good thing…” Lin Feng thought for a moment, then shook his head, looking into Master Hong Yi’s eyes as he asked, “But, why do I feel like, Master Hongyi, you haven’t told me everything?”

“Hehe…” Master Hong Yi smiled wryly, enduring his physical pain, and said solemnly to Lin Feng, “Benefactor Lin Feng is truly a wise man, one must know that in this world, where fortune resides, disaster lurks! You’ve gained this extra power inexplicably, naturally, there will be extra risks! If the owner of this power is already dead, that’s one thing, but if the main body still lives, benefactor Lin Feng, you must be careful…”

“What should I be careful of?” Lin Feng seemed to intuit a possibility.

“Be wary of this power backfiring on you, turning you into that expert’s avatar!” Master Hong Yi looked at Lin Feng seriously, speaking with a deep tone.

Be wary of the power backfiring, becoming the Avatar of the King of Hell… Hearing this possibility sent a chill through Lin Feng, unable to suppress a trace of surprise on his face.

“May I ask Master Hong Yi, what should I do?” Lin Feng anxiously looked at Master Hong Yi, speaking with tension.

“I do not know the answer…” Master Hong Yi shook his head, “After all, I am just an ordinary cultivator! However, since benefactor Lin Feng is a disciple of the Tianji Sect, perhaps consulting the Sect’s elders might provide you with an answer!”
