The opponent’s attack speed was actually not fast, but it was hidden and never missed, as it seemed to have a tracking effect. Moreover, the lethality was very high.

Lin Fei slightly stood firm and looked around.

The ground suddenly shook beneath him, and his entire figure instantly vanished from the spot.

"Ambush me? See if you can keep up with my speed!"

Lin Fei transformed into a phantom and, in the blink of an eye, sprinted across several city blocks.

It was then that he distinctly felt a sharp aura rapidly approaching from behind. Clearly, the opponent’s speed was faster than his, but it was no longer untraceable as before.

The sound of the whistling wind was by his ears, and countless streets around him turned into blurred shadows, with only the images directly in front and behind him remaining clear.

Lin Fei’s feet moved swiftly, and he struck backward with his sword, fiercely slashing at the sharp aura.

Clang!

A light sound.

"Got it!" Lin Fei affirmed to himself.

But in an instant, that sharp aura spread along the Black Demon Sword to his palm.

Hisss!

Lin Fei instantly stood still, and with a clang, the Black Demon Sword fell to the ground. Blood slowly dripped down his arm.

"Again!"

Lin Fei picked up the Black Demon Sword again. His figure instantly disappeared.

His eyes shone with countless blue lights as he entered the Extreme Shadow State.

All surrounding objects transformed into streaks of light, and street after street flew by like slides in front of his eyes.

A leaning skyscraper was ruthlessly penetrated with a hiss.

A deep scratch automatically appeared on the body of an abandoned car by the roadside.

Faint sounds of breathing came from the air, and a deep footprint suddenly appeared on top of a pile of towering concrete debris.

*************

Griffin stood quietly on the rooftop of a tall building, overlooking everything.

A short distance away on a street, two mysterious figures in black robes were attacking a Silver Armored Knight. Bursts of white and red halos, like fireworks, exploded intermittently, and the highly concentrated power directly caused the street to be utterly wrecked.

Far from here, in the distant sky on top of a somewhat inclined skyscraper, three robed figures also stood quietly. They seemed to be waiting for the outcome of the battle. They also seemed to be having a silent confrontation with Griffin.

"Aristem, old friend, why not come over for a gathering? Why run so far away?" Griffin smiled at the distant figures in black robes. His voice was soft but vividly reached the ears of the figures in black across from him.

"Titan Griffin, I dare not get too close to you—three hundred meters is already a dangerous distance," the figure in the front replied solemnly, "I didn’t expect you to be here as well. Elisa’s Gate isn’t something you can handle alone."

"I know that," Griffin said with a smile, "I’m just here to join in the fun, just ignore me. After all, more than half of the Mark Aura will gain control, won’t it?"

"I hope so," the figure in black robes snorted coldly.

Just then, the two figures in black robes completely dealt with the Silver Armored Knight.

The two leapt up and returned to their group. The group of five quickly disappeared into the mist.

"How dull..." Griffin’s smile faded as he shook his head slightly and turned to leave the rooftop.

*************

In a corner of the street.

In the darkness, the sound of countless flapping wings could be heard.

A swarm of black bats converged as the Night King slowly dropped the corpse he was holding, his lips stained with strands of fresh blood.

The corpse fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. The face landed in the light at the edge of the corner, shockingly that of a young woman in a grey robe. Her eyes were dilated, as if she had seen something horrific before her death.

"How distasteful! Even the blood of virgins from the magic side tastes awful," the Night King complained, wiping the blood from his lips before turning to walk out of the corner.

Outside on the street, stood a tall knight in silver armor with a pale golden cross on his chest, quietly standing in front of him.

"Night King, you damned bat again..." the knight said coldly, slowly drawing the cross sword from his waist. "Glory!" he shouted, and a pair of silver wings suddenly sprouted from his back.

*************

Lin Fei moved swiftly.

The Extreme Shadow State was about to end. He had sustained it for five minutes, which was his limit for now. The injuries he had just relieved began to feel as though they were worsening again.

Crack!

He suddenly stopped. He landed a hard tap with the tip of his foot on the building in front of him. Using the recoil, his body forcefully flew backward.

Bang!

A blurry shadow whizzed past his face, crashing into the building.

Lin Fei’s lips finally curved into a slight smile.

Amidst the floating dust, a small creature the size of a dog, resembling a ’rat,’ slowly crawled out of the building. Its white eyes were fixed on Lin Fei, and behind it trailed nine tails, each tail moving like a spike in the air, its tips faintly glowing with a blood-red sheen.

Hiss!

The rat-like monster let out a strange hiss, eyeing Lin Fei warily. It seemed a bit dizzy from the sudden halt and collision just now.

This was Lin Fei’s advantage. His Potential Energy’s special ability to eliminate mass and increase speed allowed him to change directions extremely bizarrely and rapidly in his Extreme Shadow State, not significantly affected by inertia, as he had just demonstrated when he switched from moving forward to backward.

"As long as I can see the enemy..." he slowly drew out the Black Demon Sword.

"Do you think you can defeat me?" the ’rat’ said mockingly. The voice Lin Fei had heard earlier materialized into a transparent humanoid figure rapidly condensing behind the ’rat.’

Blue light gleamed in Lin Fei’s eyes, and a massive planetary phantom suddenly appeared behind him.

"Slash!!!" he roared.

In an instant, the Star Shattering Sword Technique activated the Sword Qi within him to erupt, and the Black Demon Sword created a circle of afterimages, as if it had split into countless blades at once.

Lin Fei had never felt such a exhilarating sword strike before.

His entire being, all his essence and spirit, were channeled into this sword. The moment of enlightenment he had at the last minute of the trial in the Temple of the Gods surged back into his mind.

The ’rat’ was just about to leap, but was firmly fixed to the spot by numerous Sword Pressures.

The Black Demon Sword lightly swept over it, and the ’rat’ let out a mournful cry and turned into countless black smoke, dissipating on its own.

The air within hundreds of meters around was completely solidified. Strong Sword Pressure radiated out from Lin Fei, creating invisible sword marks in all directions. Some of the more fragile materials could not withstand the pressure of the Sword Pressure and shattered first. The broken debris floated up as if weightless, creating an extremely eerie scene.

"It’s Sword Intent again!"

The transparent figure spoke with a voice full of loathing. "As the Original Master, you actually managed to comprehend the Sword Intent!" he angrily split into a transparent form, resembling a hand.

The hand of transparency lightly touched the Black Demon Sword.

The Black Demon Sword instantly let out a scream and broke into two pieces, the entire longsword completely turned to ash.

But the powerful force still instantly obliterated the large transparent hand. Then it swiftly crushed towards the other.

"What a pity...." the figure spoke slowly.

Crack!!

Everything stood still.

Lin Fei stood quietly in front of the figure. His eyes had turned into two bloody holes. Blood slowly trickled down his cheeks.

Just a moment ago, his two eyeballs had exploded like balloons.

"To steal the Successor’s heritage, this is your price....hahahaha...." the figure laughed madly.

Blood suddenly spilled from the corner of Lin Fei’s mouth. He slowly leaned backward.

Everything around him slowly darkened. The True Force network quickly dissipated.

The wild laughter of the figure slowly echoed in his ears.

"Remember, my name is Black Flame, the Black Flame Demon Lord...." the figure laughed out loud.

Lin Fei’s eyes widened, he had never thought he would die here.

He had never thought so!

"How could I die!!!???"

"How could I possibly die!!!"

He was supposed to stand on the ultimate battlefield, to be the last victor! To wield gold, to control the Hua Nation, to become the world’s strongest Swordsman!! That should have been his future!!

Powerlessly, he slowly leaned backward.

"Die, Lin Fei!!! Even in death, you won’t find peace!!!" Lin You’s angry voice resounded in his ears.

"Our Feifei, he should be on the plane now, they’ve all started school, Yan Capital University starts a bit earlier than others..." his mother’s voice said.

"When is brother coming back...." Shuang’er muttered.

"Lord Sword Master...." Yuan Yicheng’s voice came anxiously.

"Sword Master!!" the voices of Yuhua in golden attire seemed to grow farther.

Crack, crack....

Countless colorless crystals rapidly spread from below Lin Fei. Simultaneously, the gray stone in his chest also rapidly spread out countless Ice Crystal-like crystals.

"Farewell, newfound Original Master of Ice Crystal...." the transparent figure laughed slowly as it dissipated.

Lin Fei’s eyes widened, but he could see nothing.

His consciousness slowly sank into darkness.

"So....I really am going to die...." he thought somewhat hazily.

His past, clear as ever, floated in his mind. Scene by scene, from initially acquiring the Sword Canon, to later wanting madly to control everything, becoming a golden councilor, beginning to comprehend the Sword Intent.

He slowly reached out as if to grasp something. Yet, there was nothing.

The final Ice Crystals slowly covered his hands.

"Go.... My last strength...." Lin Fei spoke softly.

All the strength in his body surged towards an unknown direction.

Numerous Ice Crystals completely froze Lin Fei within them.

Like a statue in the foggy battle arena demarcated by marks.

But only for a moment.

Crack!

Suddenly a fine sound.

The statue instantly cracked.

Faint red smoke slowly seeped out of the cracks.

"The Sword Master’s path of comprehending Sword Intent." the voice of the Sword Canon slowly sounded. "Space begins to gain evolution."

"Original Master...."

A sigh slowly came out within the Sword Canon Space.

"Initiating the path of the Sword Sect...." the voice of the Sword Canon kept echoing.

WHOOSH!!

The numerous crystals instantly shattered.

Lin Fei’s left side was covered in a layer of gray-white armor, at the eyes, where there were no eyeballs before, now appeared two black eyes with golden patterns in the middle.

Numerous transparent quasi-True Forces rapidly gathered into the figure from before.

"Your integration has actually reached this extent....!!" he exclaimed.

Lin Fei gently stretched out his hand. The gray-white armor on his body grew automatically like flesh, naturally extending from the wrist into a sharp, gray-white longsword.

"Your purpose is achieved...." Lin Fei spoke softly, his voice, however, sounded like many people overlapping, extremely eerie.

"Of course." the transparent figure affirmed, "I comply with the will of the main body, do you know what our Original Master was called in the ancient times?"

Lin Fei kept silent.

"Demon King!" the figure spread his arms frenetically.

"We comply with the laws of the ancient era, surviving to this day.

For the past glory, for the former brilliance!!"

Lin Fei watched him quietly.

WHOO!!

A ring of flames automatically ignited around the ground surrounding the two.

A golden thread slowly outlined a golden pattern on Lin Fei’s forehead.

The pattern slowly emitted a golden glow.(To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast a recommendation vote or a Monthly Ticket, your support is my greatest motivation.)
