Chapter 2167 - 2168: Where the Gaze Falls, Sword Qi Points

"You?! Ling... Ling Feng!"

Gongshu Liang, Guan Shanyue, Bu Jinglei, and the members of the Eastern Alliance and Thunder Alliance all wore expressions like they’d seen a ghost, staring at Ling Feng in utter shock.

This man who was supposed to be dead... actually came back?

"Ling—Feng!"

Bu Jinglei clenched his Fist so hard his knuckles went white, teeth grinding as he glared at Ling Feng. Thinking of the rumors about Ling Feng, then carefully sizing him up for a moment, he finally braced himself and said, "So what if you came back? I’ve already heard it all. Your cultivation was Sealed by the Golden Demon Flood Dragon Clan. Even if you return, you’re nothing but a cripple!"

As those words fell, Gongshu Liang and Guan Shanyue both twitched their eyelids.

Right!

On the Blood-colored Ancient Road, Ling Feng had a life-and-death battle with the Young Master of that Golden Demon Flood Dragon Clan. Although that Golden Flood Dragon Young Master ultimately died under the Lingfeng Sword, Ling Feng was also deeply cursed.

Right now, he was nothing but a cripple!

There were indeed faint Elemental Power ripples on Ling Feng’s body, but in front of these Half-Saint Strong People, they were negligible.

"Whether I’m a cripple or not, you’re welcome to try."

Ling Feng’s gaze turned Han-cold, and the Long Sword in his hand flashed out of its sheath in an instant.

Zheng!

A cold gleam flickered, like the Milky Way pouring down to earth, like a hanging antelope’s horn, traceless and unfindable.

And the next moment, a streak of Yanhong red appeared on Bu Jinglei’s neck.

A wave of chill instantly enveloped him. Bu Jinglei hurriedly clutched his neck, only feeling that the threads of cold had already locked onto his entire being.

If that sword went just a fraction deeper, his head would probably already be rolling on the ground!

"How is this possible?"

Everyone’s mind was left only with bewilderment. He was clearly already a cripple—how could his sword be this fast?

Zheng!

Zheng!

Two more streaks of sword light. On Guan Shanyue’s neck, and on Gongshu Liang’s neck, identical blood lines appeared.

Even though they were already incredibly wary, even though they had already retreated seven feet to keep their distance, they were still brushed across the neck by Ling Feng’s sword in the same instant.

The shadow of death instantly descended.

Ling Feng’s gaze carried a hint of mockery. If he had let even the slightest Killing Intent move just now, then in this Ten Thousand Beast Forest, there would already be three more corpses!

The three of them looked at the blood on each other’s necks, scared so badly their Dead Souls seemed to leap out of their bodies.

Who was it that said Ling Feng had been crippled?

This bit of swordsmanship was even more miraculous and far more Gui Yi-strange than half a year ago!

Of course, this had already surpassed Sword Speed; it was pure will!

Ling Feng’s sword was originally created by Creation Power. When he controlled the sword weapon, it seemed like Sword Qi, but in truth, it was his gaze.

Where his gaze fell, there his Sword Qi pointed.

During this period, because Ling Feng was plagued by the lack of Elemental Power and could not use all kinds of powerful sword moves, he instead pondered out a whole set of sword moves based on the Great Creation Technique.

This was Creation within Creation.

Of course, for now, it was only extremely fast and ghostly elusive; as for its power, it was still rather limited for the moment.

But speed alone was more than enough.

After all, a Martial Arts Grandmaster once said: In all the Martial Arts under heaven, nothing is unbreakable—only speed is unbreakable!

Though this saying has its limits, at this moment, Ling Feng’s swordsmanship had scared Gongshu Liang and the others out of their wits.

Three people, three swords!

Ling Feng only lightly waved his hand, and the three of them had all walked along the very edge of death and back!

Fear!

Fear that had soaked into their very bones!

The three of them only felt their legs go weak, their two hips trembling, and the way they looked at Ling Feng was more terrified than if they’d seen a ghost.

"Still not getting lost?"

Ling Feng gave his Long Sword a casual sweep. "What, do you need me to send you on your way?"

The next instant, Gongshu Liang and the others didn’t even dare spit out a single harsh word; they turned and bolted, scrambling to run.

Ling Feng had considered whether to teach them a lesson, but with his current state of mind, he already disdained settling accounts with these small fry.

The one he wanted to find was Dongfang Chun!

This battle delayed for half a year—it was time to settle it.

The reason he let Gongshu Liang and the others go so easily was precisely to have them deliver a message.

I, Ling Feng, have returned!

At this time, the members of the Lingyun Alliance were all staring blankly, petrified, minds frozen, unable to think.

"Everyone, long time no see."

Sheathing his sword, Ling Feng turned to look at Xiao Juanyun, Tie Yan and the others, a faint smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.

His voice jolted everyone awake; one by one, they looked at him like he was some peerless Monster.

"All... Alli..." Xiao Juanyun’s tongue knotted; he couldn’t even get the title out.

"Alli what?"

Ling Feng raised a hand and knocked him lightly on the forehead. "You’re the cute one; your whole family is cute!"

This joking remark dragged everyone back to reality. The next moment, Xiao Juanyun’s eyes brimmed with hot tears as he hammered a Fist into Ling Feng’s chest. "Alliance Hierarch, you finally came back!"

"Alliance Hierarch!"

"Alliance Hierarch!"

One by one, the members of the Lingyun Alliance looked at Ling Feng, all of them wildly Xing Fen-excited.

After more than half a year, their Alliance Hierarch had finally returned!

And he’d returned in the posture of an absolute powerhouse—like a king come back to his throne!

"Alliance Hierarch... you finally came back!"

Tie Yan drew in a deep breath and let it out, forcibly calming himself a little. Because he was so agitated, both his body and his tone were trembling.

"Mm, I’ve come back."

Ling Feng lifted his eyes and gave Tie Yan a look; everything that had just happened, he’d seen clearly.

This Tie Yan really was a man of iron bones and steel spine!

No matter what state the Lingyun Alliance was in now, as long as these core members remained, there was no fear of failing to grow strong again.

On this point, he had absolute confidence.

"In more than half a year, all of your strength has improved quite a bit."

Ling Feng looked at the familiar faces in front of him; most of them were the first batch of elders who had followed him. Although the Lingyun Alliance had been ruthlessly suppressed, it was precisely because of that pressure that their strength had grown rapidly.

Especially Xiao Juanyun—this guy had just now, faintly, even manifested the embryonic form of a Sword Domain.

This step was the key to comprehending a Sword Domain. By Xiao Juanyun’s Talent, it should have taken eight to ten years to reach this level. But under the pressure of powerful opponents, in just half a year he had grasped a trace of Sword Domain’s embryonic form.

Drawing a deep breath, Ling Feng raised his hand and patted Xiao Juanyun’s shoulder, saying in a low voice, "Brother Xiao, you’ve had a hard time these days."

He’d disappeared for more than half a year. That guy Chu Chaonan was probably dragged back by Muu God Monarch.

The three of them had established the Lingyun Alliance together, yet in the end, every burden had fallen on Xiao Juanyun alone.

"As long as you’ve come back, everything was worth it!"

Hope once again flared in Xiao Juanyun’s eyes. With Ling Feng back, his efforts had not been in vain.

"Let’s find a place to regroup first."

Ling Feng glanced over the twelve-man squad. Most of them were more or less injured. In their current state, if they’d actually fought the Eastern Alliance just now, they probably would have been wiped out to the last man.

"All right. Since the Alliance Hierarch has returned, from now on, we naturally follow the Alliance Hierarch’s lead!"

Xiao Juanyun nodded heavily, his face full of Xing Fen-excitement as he spoke.
