Chapter 2193 - 2182: Blood Spills Within Five Steps

Fortunately, Dongka saw through Lin Zifeng’s inner thoughts, his face sank, and he said coldly, "You may not believe me, but you must know that everything I do is for Ziyue. If you don’t believe it, we can both go back the same way now. At worst, let’s pretend this never happened."

These words from Dongka finally made Lin Zifeng feel relieved. He thought to himself, if it meant risking punishment and being hunted by the Five Supreme Venerables to help him, Lin Zifeng confessed that if their roles were reversed, he wouldn’t be able to go this far.

But if it’s for Dongfang Ziyue, then everything makes sense. While relieved, Lin Zifeng couldn’t help but be puzzled by the relationship between the two of them. If it’s only a master-disciple bond, to be able to go to such an extent of facing danger...

Shaking his head, Lin Zifeng cleared the distractions from his mind, his gaze sharpened, and he turned to Dongka beside him, saying with solemnity, "Just like before, when I say ’charge’, you need to follow closely. Remember, there’s only three seconds!"

As soon as the words fell, seeing Dongka nod in understanding, Lin Zifeng’s aura of a Saint Realm expert surged forth, his legs slightly bent, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack into furrows!

"Charge!"

"Whoosh!"

The two shrill sounds of breaking through the air rang out almost simultaneously, their figures shot forward like arrows launched from a bow, the air around them twisting as they passed, even the withered ancient trees beside them turned to dust in the strong wind.

A thousand meters away, five Blood Shadow Dark Guards with dark red masks on their faces, emanating a chilling murderous intent, were originally gathered around a campfire discussing something. The leader, his malicious eyes under the mask glinting, suddenly reached into his chest.

And Lin Zifeng and Dongka’s swift figures were already within a hundred meters of them!

During the sprint, Lin Zifeng took in the astonishment on the leader’s face beneath the mask and glanced at his hand reaching into his chest, a slight playful curve appeared on his previously grim face.

Just now realizing... Too slow!

With a thought, Lin Zifeng dared not relax for a moment, exerting the space gravity to the extreme. The individuals who were about to grab their weapons were all knocked down.

"Crack..."

Kneeling on the ground, the soil was crushed into deep pits, and two of those with lower cultivation were squeezed by ten-thousand-pound gravity, causing their internal organs and bones to rupture, and they were crushed to death by their own gravity!

Even the Sub-Saint Realm Ninth Layer expert had his knees bent, kneeling down, supporting himself on the ground with the hand that had reached into his chest to prevent falling.

From under clenched teeth, blood seeped out from his mouth, as if exerting all his strength. That man raised his head, staring at Dongka coming with the wind, dressed in a white robe, he hesitated for a moment.

He never would have thought that tonight, the highly esteemed Lord Dongka in the clan would defy the Venerable’s will, breaking into the forbidden ground.

Yet in just a moment of hesitation, the thoughts instilled in him from a young age told him that the only thing he could do now was to crush the Blood Shadow Stone in his chest!

Thinking of this, he suddenly reached into his chest, and Lin Zifeng, who was chuckling lightly beside him, couldn’t help but be stunned. Was this speed really suppressed by his gravity?

"Crack..."

Forcibly breaking through the ten-thousand-pound gravity, a burst of bone fracture came from the right hand hidden under the samurai robe. Although Lin Zifeng couldn’t see his face clearly, he was certain that the man’s face was already distorted due to the pain from the broken hand bone.

"Kill him!"

With a roar, Lin Zifeng’s heart was already stretched to its limit. He never thought that even with a broken hand bone, this guy could, with a non-human will, pull out the Blood Shadow Stone!

Though it seemed slow, all this was just a matter of a breath. At this moment, Dongka’s expression of coldness, equivalent to eternal ice, reappeared. With the fastest speed in his life, the longsword in his hand drew a chilling arc across the night sky!

"Pfft!"

A severed arm, losing the impact of gravity, sprayed a warm blood arrow, tracing an arc in the sky, landing five meters away.

Upon the severed arm, the dark red glow of the Blood Shadow, reflected by moonlight, fell into the man’s eyes, filled with unwillingness and fear.

"Whoosh!"

The sword light flickered, and the head was severed!

Perhaps until his death, that man never understood what happened tonight. With his Sub-Saint Realm Ninth Layer strength, he not only failed to protect himself, but also couldn’t even crush the Blood Shadow Stone to inform the Venerable!

In his eyes, losing its color, Lin Zifeng’s distinct face with a playful curve was frozen within them.

The remaining two Blood Shadow Dark Guards were also beheaded by Dongka with a single strike each.

The pungent smell of blood from the bodies on the ground filled both their nostrils. Lin Zifeng furrowed his brows and only retracted the gravity once he confirmed there were no survivors.

Up until now, Lin Zifeng still felt a bit of fortune and fear. As someone who spent time in the Mortal World, he knew that even when a person’s head is severed, if they have strong willpower, they might still be able to move in those last fractions of a second.

Lin Zifeng was sure that the loyalty the leader held for the Five Supreme Venerables definitely gave him strong willpower, enough for him to crush the Blood Shadow Stone. Fortunately, even though Dongka was unaware of this matter, he chose to sever the man’s right arm first before finishing him off with a single strike.

If Dongka had directly decapitated the man before dealing with the other two, the Five Supreme Venerables might already be on their way here.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Zifeng regained his sobriety from the lingering fear, glanced at the corpses lying on the ground, and took the Blood Shadow Stone tightly held in his hand, placing it into his Magic Bracelet before feeling relieved. In addition, he also collected the Elemental Power Seed from that Sub-Saint Ninth Layer Heaven expert. Knowing that a powerful Elemental Power Seed of such caliber could be useful, perhaps in the future.

After taking a few breaths, Lin Zifeng’s previously relaxed sword-like eyebrows once again tensed.

"Such a dense Heavenly Thunder aura... Could this be the place where one of the Five Supreme Venerables crossed their tribulation?"

Thinking in his heart, Lin Zifeng closed his eyes to focus, feeling around. After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes, a beam of light, nearly tangible, blasted out, startling Dongka beside him.

"What’s wrong? Is there another enemy?" Dongka furrowed his sword-like brows, while saying this, he didn’t forget to survey the surroundings, but all he saw were the ominous shadows of trees shrouded in darkness.

"Hahaha..."

Unexpectedly, Lin Zifeng didn’t answer him and instead tilted his head back in jubilant laughter, his hearty and exuberant laugh sounding unusually loud in the vacant forest.

After a long time, Lin Zifeng finally stopped laughing, his gaze filled with joy and fervor as he looked behind Dongka.

"The Myriad Tribulations Thunder Shadow Stone, this exotic treasure, I actually found it!"

Before his words fell, Lin Zifeng’s feet took flight, rushing past Dongka’s face of bewilderment, moving toward the depths of the darkness.
