Chapter 152: Chapter 151: Human or Demon

Upon receiving the Wen JiaRen’s order, Ye Lingtian did not dare to slack off in the slightest. He immediately instructed the Artifact Spirit of the Cosmic Battleship to turn and head towards the Dragon Abyss Sect at top speed.

The Heavenly Demon originally intended to trample Yan Rufeng underfoot. After receiving a reply from the Dragon Abyss Sect, he, accompanied by Zhu Lie, rushed towards the sect.

The crowd who came to watch the martial arts contest had already arrived at the scene, and the disciples sent by the Dragon Abyss Sect to meet the challenge had been waiting for a long time.

The arena was already set up. Due to the disciples participating, the weakest of whom were at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, the spiritual power of even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, once unleashed, had an extremely wide range of impact.

However, there were many cultivators who came to watch the contest, numbering in the millions, most of whom were at the Foundation Establishment Stage. When faced with the spiritual power of Nascent Soul Stage experts, they would either be gravely injured or killed. To prevent any accidents, Chuyunzi, the Mountain Protection Elder of the Dragon Abyss Sect, personally placed the Six Spirit Energy Prohibitions on the arena.

On the stage stood a young man in white with one hand behind his back. His long black hair was meticulously tied up, exuding a faint elegance. His brow carried a sharp glint, and the unique badge of the Dragon Abyss Sect’s Inner Sect disciples on his chest shone brightly under the sunlight.

"Wow, look! That man in white with long hair is a disciple of the Dragon Abyss Sect. Seeing him feels like stepping back in time," exclaimed a female cultivator.

"My heavens, I haven’t seen a disciple of the Dragon Abyss Sect appear in public over the past three years, and I didn’t expect them to all have such long hair. It’s so poetic..."

Just as the crowd was praising the Dragon Abyss Sect’s disciple, a domineering voice suddenly came from the sky.

"Is the person on the stage a disciple of the Dragon Abyss Sect?"

The Heavenly Demon and Zhu Lie arrived immediately after.

The young man in white spoke softly: "You two must be the experts from Southern Yue Country!"

"Heh heh!"

Zhu Lie sneered, "You have good eyesight, kid."

"Which one of you is the foremost warrior of Southern Yue Country? Come up and face me!"

"Hmph..."

Zhu Lie snorted coldly, "With just you, you’re not worthy to fight my master."

"Heh heh!"

The young man in white sneered, "That’s quite the boast. If you two don’t dare to fight, then kindly roll back to Southern Yue!"

Zhu Lie shouted in anger: "Kid, don’t be arrogant, Zhu Lie is here!"

As soon as Zhu Lie finished speaking, he leapt towards the stage. Upon seeing this, Chuyunzi hurriedly opened a pathway through the restrictions covering the stage.

On the stage, the two locked eyes, and the young man in white withdrew his divine sense, thinking, "This guy is emanating a heavy demonic aura."

"Are you human or demon?"

As soon as the young man in white spoke, the crowd began to discuss.

"Why is the Dragon Abyss Sect asking if someone is human or demon? Could it be that demon beasts can now take human form?"

Someone replied: "Impossible. I don’t know how many demon beasts I’ve slain, but I’ve never seen one that looks human."

"Heh heh!"

Someone within the crowd sneered: "In my opinion, the Dragon Abyss Sect’s disciples are just finding an excuse for themselves."

"Why do you say that, Daoist?" someone questioned.

The person laughed: "We all know that when cultivators fight, they use their divine sense to probe each other’s cultivation. Just imagine if one side’s divine sense got bounced back by the other, then there would be no point in continuing the fight."

The surrounding people suddenly realized, and someone said: "You mean the match was over before it even started..."

"Ha ha..."

On the stage, Zhu Lie laughed heartily, "Kid, don’t ask irrelevant questions. Surviving this stage is what you should be concerned with!"

"Hmph!"

The young man in white snorted coldly, "If you don’t answer, that proves you’re a demon. As a disciple of the Dragon Abyss Sect, I, Li Feng, will uphold righteousness today and slay you, you fiend!"

"Ha ha..."

"You want to kill me!"

Zhu Lie laughed uncontrollably, "Kid, aren’t you afraid your tongue will fall out? Today, I’ll make sure you have no place to be buried!"

Within the restricted area of the stage, demonic energy surged skyward, enveloping Li Feng. Li Feng dared not be careless. He hastily formed a magic spell with his hands and chanted swiftly. Suddenly, a protective shield of spiritual energy burst forth from his body, tightly surrounding him and repelling the demonic energy.

"Sword, come!"

After a resonant sword sound, ten spirit swords formed from spiritual energy hovered before Li Feng.

Li Feng shouted, "Demon Slaying Sword Formation!"

"Swish swish swish..."

In an instant, the ten spirit swords closed in from ten directions, trapping Zhu Lie within the sword formation.

"Heh heh!"

Zhu Lie scoffed in disdain, "Kid, if this is all you’ve got, then you’re dead meat."

"Is that so?"

Li Feng’s eyes sharpened, "Fiend, tell us why you have come to Huaxia, or I will destroy your divine soul."

Zhu Lie coldly replied: "Destroy or not, it’s not up to you. Watch my demonic reign over the world!"

On the stage, a fierce demonic wind arose, black energy erupted skyward, and the Demon Slaying Sword Formation was blown apart. The spirit swords released by Li Feng turned into deadly weapons against him instead of righteous swords slaying Zhu Lie.

The crowd below the stage was startled.

"What kind of spell is that? I have never seen it before!" someone exclaimed.

"Is this person an evil cultivator?" someone questioned.

"Sigh!"

Someone in the crowd sighed, "No wonder the Dragon Abyss Sect suspected that man to be a demon. Now it looks like if he isn’t a demon, what else could he be?"

"Now, the Dragon Abyss Sect disciple’s life is in grave danger..." someone worriedly said.

On the stage, Li Feng not only had to guard against the demon energy entering his body but also had to continuously evade the spirit swords he had released. At this moment, Li Feng was clearly at a disadvantage.

As the Mountain Protection Elder of the Dragon Abyss Sect, Chuyunzi, whose cultivation was at the Divine Separation Peak Stage, had seen from the start that Zhu Lie was a demon. He had hoped Li Feng could take Zhu Lie down in one fell swoop, but did not expect Li Feng to be defeated instead.

A golden light enveloped the stage. Chuyunzi intervened, and the stage instantly returned to calm. The spirit sword near Li Feng’s forehead, less than three fingers away, also vanished.

Li Feng panted heavily, drenched in cold sweat. Though the feeling of surviving disaster was exhilarating, it was indeed embarrassing for a Dragon Abyss Sect disciple in front of the crowd.

"Li Feng, step down," Chuyunzi said flatly.

Li Feng retreated. Zhu Lie had intended to kill Li Feng on the spot but refrained from doing so because he knew the person who had just released the golden light. If not for sparing Li Feng’s life, none would have survived under that golden light.

"Ha ha..."

On the stage, Zhu Lie laughed loudly, "I thought Huaxia was full of experts, but it seems they are all so weak. Who’s next!"

No one dared to step up from below the stage because they knew Li Feng, as an outstanding Inner Sect disciple of the Dragon Abyss Sect, couldn’t withstand a single move from Zhu Lie. Only elder-level figures could possibly contest him.

Seeing no one stepping onto the stage, Zhu Lie laughed, "I thought the Dragon Abyss Sect’s people were trash, but it looks like all of Huaxia is the same..."

"Fiend, cease your arrogance!"

A graceful figure landed on the stage.

"Oh, a pretty lady has come up..." Zhu Lie leered, drooling.
