Chapter 1357: Ling Feng's Ghost Eye

On the arena.

Wenren Longzhan's expression was grave. The eye technique he had relied upon for so many years had now become a burden. In the past, he trusted the weaknesses revealed by his eyes completely, striking each time at vital points.

This time, however, he faced an opponent without a single flaw. From the very beginning, Wenren Longzhan's battle rhythm had been rendered completely ineffective.

Before long, Wenren Longzhan steadied himself.

Even if he could not identify his opponent's weaknesses, he could still rely on sheer strength and crush him head on.

In the next instant, Wenren Longzhan's gaze changed. The confusion vanished, and his aura surged abruptly.

A clear humming sound rang out.

Nine willow leaf blades trembled lightly. A faint glow spread across their surfaces as they shifted from solid form into transparency. They shot out from his palm, invisible and traceless, leaving nothing to follow.

"Flying knives?"

The crowd below erupted in shock.

Even Ji Rushuang, the second ranked expert, had never forced Wenren Longzhan to reveal this technique.

No one expected that Wenren Longzhan would expose a trump card he had hidden for many years when facing Ling Feng.

Ji Rushuang's face darkened. "Impossible! He resorted to using this move against Ling Feng?"

She had always held herself in high regard. Within the outer sect, she acknowledged only Wenren Longzhan as her superior.

Yet after challenging him more than fifty times, she had never forced him to use such a trump card. Did this not mean that Ling Feng's strength surpassed her own?

"Senior Sister Ji, Junior Brother Ling truly is that terrifying."

Yan Guying spoke slowly from the side. "His strength exceeds anything we imagined. Within the outer sect, only Senior Brother Wenren can contend with him."

The other top ten outer sect disciples inhaled sharply.

Before Wenren Longzhan used the "Nine Ring Flying Knives", they might have scoffed at Yan Guying's words.

Now, the truth lay before them, leaving no room for doubt.

Nearby, Ning Guichen, Lin Mu, and the others stared wide eyed. Even Ning Guichen felt a deep sense of threat when Wenren Longzhan unleashed the "Nine Ring Flying Knives".

Such a fearsome killing move left one question unanswered.

How would Ling Feng respond?

Li Fei watched intently, anticipation flickering in her eyes. Her thoughts returned to Snow Wolf Valley, to the moment Ling Feng unleashed Eight Swords As One and saved her.

Would she witness that stunning strike again?

High in the treetops, Feng Ling crossed her arms, a sharp glint flashing through her eyes.

"Forcing Wenren Longzhan to use the Nine Ring Flying Knives already shows how remarkable Ling Feng is. But once those knives are unleashed, they strike one after another, seamless and unbroken. One lapse is all it takes for the body to be riddled with holes. Their power is on par with experts ranked around eightieth on the Creation Star Ranking."

"Ling Feng, Ling Feng, I want to see how you can still defeat Wenren Longzhan!"

Feng Ling snorted softly. Although her view of Ling Feng had been refreshed time and again, she still disliked seeing him maintain an undefeated posture. It even stirred a faint sense of inferiority within her.

After all, Elder Gui's evaluation of Ling Feng surpassed even her own, and that left her deeply unconvinced.

Under countless gazes, Ling Feng finally moved!

The space between his brows slowly split open, revealing an eerie vertical eye!

"What?"

𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

The crowd's expressions changed instantly. Everyone stared in shock at the suddenly opened eye.

Li Fei, Wang Ruquan, and Yan Guying cried out almost simultaneously.

"The Ghost Eye Frost Crow's eye!"

Indeed, the third vertical eye that opened on Ling Feng's forehead belonged to the Ghost Eye Frost Crow!

After previously transforming the Essence-Stealing Blood Pearl into the Eye of Plunder, Ling Feng had an idea. If he refined this third eye, could he also make it his own?

Over the past few days, his cultivation efforts had focused on refining this Ghost Eye into a personal artifact.

Ling Feng knew the power of the Ghost Eye divine light well. Combined with interference from mental rays, it rendered him nearly invincible in battles against opponents of the same level.

His attempt yielded results. After refining the Ghost Eye, it retreated into his sea of mind. With a simple summoning, it would open on its own.

Moreover, after being altered by the Asura's Eye, it became even stronger than before.

What Ling Feng did not realize was that because he possessed the Eye of the Emperor, any eye technique or power he used received a tremendous boost.

The Eye of Plunder, the Void Eye, Terrifying Gaze, and the Nightmare Heart Technique all advanced with astonishing speed under his cultivation. Their effects even surpassed the original limits of those techniques.

Such was the power of the Eye of the Emperor.

When Ling Feng combined countless eye techniques within himself, these eyes alone could make heaven and earth tremble!

"This is strange. Why would Junior Brother Ling transplant the Ghost Eye Frost Crow's eye onto himself? Does he truly intend to recreate its innate divine ability?"

Li Fei's eyes were filled with confusion. In the vast world of martial cultivation, some had attempted to gain demonic beast abilities by transplanting beast parts into their bodies. Most gained little and often suffered demonic qi backlash, turning themselves into twisted half beasts.

Ling Feng clearly possessed outstanding talent. Choosing such an inferior path made no sense.

Wang Ruquan, on the other hand, sneered. "Ling Feng, Ling Feng, what an idiot. Trying to recreate a demonic beast's innate ability with such methods. If you can truly activate the Ghost Eye divine light, I will shit upside down!"

On the arena.

The Nine Ring Flying Knives surged forward. The nine blades, thin as cicada wings, followed different trajectories under Wenren Longzhan's control. They shot toward Ling Feng from sharp and unpredictable angles.

The transparent blades were difficult to track. More subtly, the simultaneous vibration of the nine knives created a strange rhythm that disrupted hearing and made their paths impossible to judge.

Ling Feng smiled faintly. The Nine Ring Flying Knives were indeed a powerful secret art. Ordinary Extreme Human Emperors would likely fall before them.

There had once been a predecessor who mastered this technique to great completion and earned the title "Nine Ring Flying Knives, never miss their mark."

Unfortunately, the opponent they faced was Ling Feng.

In the next instant, the Ghost Eye at Ling Feng's brow flared with dark radiance. A layer of transparent ripples spread outward like waves, seeping into the air before vanishing.

Immediately after, a black divine light burst forth like a raging torrent, destroying everything in its path!

"Mental rays... G-Ghost Eye divine light!"

Wang Ruquan trembled violently. Ling Feng had truly recreated the Ghost Eye Frost Crow's divine ability, and with flawless perfection!

The slap came swiftly. Remembering his earlier boast, Wang Ruquan shook with rage.

Wenren Longzhan, fully focused on controlling the Nine Ring Flying Knives, suddenly lapsed into a brief daze. The nine willow leaf blades clattered to the ground. The Ghost Eye divine light surged forward. By the time Wenren Longzhan regained clarity, he was already sent flying.

Bang!

A terrifying impact erupted in his chest. Before he could counterattack, he was blasted off the arena.

This battle ended in crushing defeat!

Many spectators had not even grasped what happened before the fight was over.

The First Tianjian, who had dominated the outer sect for ten years without rival, finally fell on that day!
