Chapter 335: Treasure of Stars!

Seeing the resolute look in Ling Feng's eyes, Yue Yunlan bit her lip and shook her head, saying, "Unfortunately, you won't be able to defeat it."

"How do you know if I haven't tried?"

Ling Feng shrugged. Though, he also understood that if this opponent could injure Yue Yunlan and force her into such a dire situation, their power must be terrifying.

"The one chasing me is a demon lord of the Lin Demon Race, whose strength is comparable to a third-level Spiritual Element Realm human expert. Moreover, it possesses a treasured item of the demon race. Do you still think the three of us can defeat it?"

Yue Yunlan lowered her voice and spoke slowly.

"

Uh...

It's that strong?"

Ling Feng took a deep breath, his mind suddenly becoming clear. If what Yue Yunlan said was true, his current strength was indeed insufficient.

Just moments ago, he had been brimming with determination, but now he felt deflated. The abrupt change was quite awkward!

"

Oh,

are you chickening out, you big dummy?"

Seeing Ling Feng's awkward expression, Qiao Qiao burst into laughter, holding her stomach.

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. This girl didn't understand the situation. He was trying to help them, yet he was being laughed at.

Shaking his head with a smile, Ling Feng said, "If we just hide here, we'll definitely be found. It's better to run."

Yue Yunlan had been too injured to escape far before, which was why she chose to hide. But now, with Ling Feng's help, they could escape. Ling Feng's speed was enough to carry Yue Yunlan back to Tianwei Academy. He doubted the demon lord would dare to invade the academy.

"You want to run? Too late!"

At that moment, a slender, black figure leaped toward them. A terrifying aura rolled forth, and in his hand was a spherical treasured item, emanating a dense power of stars.

Strong!

Tremendously strong!

Ling Feng's eyes twitched. Although he had never seen such a treasured item before, he recognized it immediately as a Treasure of Stars!

A treasured item contained the power of creation and was nurtured by heaven and earth, and then carefully engraved, polished and crafted.

Unlike ordinary weapons, each treasured item possessed a unique ability. These treasured items were categorized into three levels: Treasure of Stars, Treasure of Sun and Moon, and Treasure of Heaven and Earth.

Even the weakest grade, Treasure of Stars, could rival a top-grade treasured artifact. The power of stars contained within it could unleash a terrifying attack equivalent to the full force of a Spiritual Element Realm expert with minimal or even no energy consumption.

In essence, possessing a Treasure of Stars was akin to having a Spiritual Element Realm expert as a bodyguard.

Moreover, Treasure of Stars had to be nurtured by the power of creation and could not be artificially manufactured. Hence, even the low grade Treasure of Stars item was incredibly valuable, often fetching a price comparable to dozens of top-grade treasured artifacts.

To Ling Feng's surprise, the demon lord pursuing Yue Yunlan and her maid was a woman!

Although this demon lord bore a strong resemblance to a human, she had fish-like fins on her arms and calves, and her ears were different from those of a normal human.

From a human perspective, she was quite beautiful, with delicate and lovely features, though she had a flat chest. Perhaps in the Lin Demon Race, flatness was considered beautiful.

Seeing this Lin Demon Race demon lord, Ling Feng was reminded of the Demonic Jiao Prince he had encountered in Luofeng Canyon, who had a similar appearance.

It seemed that this female member of the Lin Demon Race was also not an ordinary demon.

"You wretched fish demon! How dare you chase us all the way here!? The imperial capital is just ahead. Aren't you afraid of dying?" Qiao Qiao shouted angrily with both hands on her hips.

"

Hmph,

you shameless humans! You sneaked into the sacred land of the Lin Demon Race to steal the Seven Star Lotus Seeds, and now you act so righteously. Humans truly are despicable thieves!"

"Lin Demon Princess, the Tide Forest has never belonged to your Lin Demon Race. Just because you call it a sacred land doesn't make it one!" Yue Yunlan said through gritted teeth. "As a citizen of the Tianbai Empire, I don't need your permission to gather medicinal herbs within the empire's territory!"

"

Hmph,

I have no time to argue with you!" The Lin Demon Princess, knowing she was in the wrong, continued relentlessly. "This time, I've brought the Lin Demon Race’s sacred relic, the Star Shining Pearl. You will die today!"

In an instant, the Lin Demon Princess infused her demonic essence into the Star Shining Pearl. A dazzling blue light shot into the sky, releasing an aura that reached the peak third level of the Spiritual Element Realm.

"

Hahahaha!

" The Lin Demon Princess laughed wildly. "Last time, you escaped using a teleportation talisman. This time, you won't get away!"

"Hey, before you keep pressing us, at least respect the opinion of the only man here."

Ling Feng stepped forward, holding the Eradicator of Realms. He positioned himself in front of Yue Yunlan and locked eyes with the Lin Demon Princess, quietly unleashing his Slaughterous Sword Will.

"Ignorant ant!"

The Lin Demon Princess had already noticed Ling Feng. In her eyes, a mere martial artist with twenty meridians was no different from an ant to be crushed.

She assumed Ling Feng was just Yue Yunlan's bodyguard and didn't expect him to stand up to her. She scoffed and struck out with a palm, releasing the terrifying power of a demon lord. A blue-green palm print surged towards Ling Feng like a raging wave.

"Die!"

The Lin Demon Princess didn't take Ling Feng seriously at all. The only thing she feared was the various treasured items Yue Yunlan possessed.

Despite her far superior strength, she had been chasing Yue Yunlan for a long time without managing to kill her, showcasing the deep resources of the young lady from the Cangqiong Sect.

Clang!

Ling Feng's eyes sharpened, and his sword force erupted. The palm print from the Lin Demon Princess abruptly halted. Ling Feng slashed out with a single move, Six Paths of Rise and Fall, sending out countless sword qi that pierced through the palm print.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a series of explosions, Ling Feng stood proudly in place, unmoved.

"

Hmm?

" Lin Demon Princess's expression shifted. This ant seemed to have done something remarkable.

"Interesting!"

The Lin Demon Princess curiously sized up Ling Feng. This human wasn't as weak as she had imagined.

"Wow! You really are impressive, you big dummy!"

Qiao Qiao’s eyes twitched abruptly.

The Lin Demon Princess is a demon lord, comparable to a human Spiritual Element Realm expert!

And not just any Spiritual Element Realm expert either, but a genius among them!

Yue Yunlan, however, noticed something unusual. She clearly sensed that the ability Ling Feng had just used seemed like sword force!

Even within the vast Cangqiong Sect, there were very few masters who had comprehended sword force.

Yet Ling Feng, someone who was only at the Pulse Formation Realm with a sword will that hadn't even reached an advanced level, had used it.

How could he have comprehended sword force?

Yue Yunlan couldn't believe it, thinking she might have seen wrong. Perhaps Ling Feng had cultivated some martial art that could mimic the aura of sword force.
