106: I don't want to be a yellow bird, I have no choice but to

The Golden-Armored Rhino was not unintelligent; how could it let go of such a heaven-sent opportunity? It let out an earth-shattering roar, its massive head suddenly lowered, and that terrifying single horn instantly condensed a dazzling golden light. A golden demonic light beam, as thick as a bucket and incredibly condensed, like a destructive torrent, fiercely blasted towards the Cultivator controlling the golden saber, who had exposed his flank while rescuing!

At the same time, its thick tail swept horizontally like a steel whip towards the other two!

"Not good!" The three of them were so scared their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering. How could they still care about rescuing Crooked Eye? They desperately defended themselves, and their formation instantly fell into chaos!

All of this happened in an instant!

At this moment, Lin Feng had already pounced in front of the Crooked Eye Cultivator like a teleportation! The distance between them was shortened to less than three zhang!

The Crooked Eye Cultivator was, after all, in the Nascent Soul (Middle Stage), and at the brink of death, his reaction was extremely fast. In his horror, while frantically retreating, he frantically conjured a palm-sized black small shield engraved with tortoise shell patterns, which instantly expanded to block in front of him! This was his Medium Grade defensive Spiritual Artifact for saving his life!

"Block for me!" He roared hoarsely, pouring all his spiritual power into the shield. The tortoise shell patterns lit up with dark light, and the defense instantly opened to its maximum!

However, facing this hastily conjured defense, Lin Feng's eyes held only cold mockery.

"Overturning Sea · Surging Waves!"

The Azure Edge Sting finally clanged out of its sheath! The ethereal blue sword body cut out a stunningly beautiful and cold arc in this dark golden world! The passive Demon Slayer's power was unleashed without reservation, and the faint but absolutely restraining dark gold light emanating from the edge of the sword instantly intensified!

This sword was no longer a technique of dispelling force, but a perfect condensation of all his strength, vast spiritual power, and the grand and overwhelming Sword Intent of the Overturning Sea Sword Art into a single point! The sword's momentum was like a tsunami erupting, surging and roaring, yet carrying an extreme penetrating power!

The sword tip precisely struck the center of that tortoise shell giant shield!

There was no deafening explosion, only an extremely sharp sound, as if something was being forcibly torn apart—

Rip—!!!

The dark golden Demon Slayer's sharpness had a natural and terrifying restraining power against spiritual power shields, Demonic Qi, and Devilish Qi! The seemingly solid tortoise shell giant shield, the moment its dark light came into contact with the dark golden light, was like meeting its ultimate nemesis. It let out a mournful cry, its spiritual light frantically flickering and dimming, and the shield's surface, centered on the point of impact of the sword tip, instantly became covered with spiderweb-like cracks!

The next moment!

The shield shattered!

The sword light, like tearing thin paper, penetrated the broken shield remnants without any obstruction, its momentum undiminished, fiercely piercing into the terrified and despairing eyes of the Crooked Eye Cultivator behind it!

Pfft!

The sword tip emerged from the back of his head, bringing out a spray of red and white matter!

The dark golden destructive energy instantly surged in, annihilating all his vitality!

The Crooked Eye Cultivator's body suddenly stiffened, the light in his eyes rapidly extinguished like a candle in the wind, and his body softly fell backward, hitting the hard ground with a "bang," kicking up a cloud of dust.

In one encounter, a Nascent Soul (Middle Stage) Cultivator was instantly killed! From drawing the sword, closing in, breaking the shield, to killing, the entire process was as smooth as flowing water, clean and neat, without any delay!

Silence!

A deathly silence!

Only the heavy breathing of the Golden-Armored Rhino and the heavy breathing of the other three Cultivators remained!

The three Cultivators who had just barely managed to block the Golden-Armored Rhino's attack, looking at their Senior Brother instantly killed on the ground, and then at Lin Feng, who stood with his sword, his eyes as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice, felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet straight to their heads, their hands and feet turning cold, their souls leaping out!

Too strong! Too ruthless! Where did this fiend come from?!

"Fellow Daoist... Fellow Daoist, spare our lives! Misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding! We were blind! We offended you, Fellow Daoist! All our gains will be offered to you, we only ask Fellow Daoist to spare our dog lives!" The Nascent Soul (Third Layer) Cultivator was the first to break down, his voice choked with sobs, and with a plop, he knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly for mercy, no longer showing any of his previous arrogance.

The other two also completely lost their Battle Intent, their faces as pale as paper, their weapons almost slipping from their grasp, their eyes filled with fear, subconsciously wanting to turn and flee.

But Lin Feng's eyes were cold and unwavering. In the Cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak. Since a mortal enmity had been formed, how could he let the tiger return to the mountain? Moreover, the other party had made the first move to kill!

He said nothing more, his figure moved again! Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep!

The Azure Edge Sting transformed into streaks of soul-reaping blue lightning! The Demon Slayer characteristic made his attacks even more fatal to these Cultivators, whose spiritual power shields were far less powerful than those of Yao Beasts!

At the same time, he flicked his sleeve, and two Ironwood Guards, already prepared and refined from ironwood and Yao Beast bones, suddenly appeared! Although they only had Qi Refining (Middle Stage) strength, their sudden appearance was enough to cause instant interference and chaos!

"No!"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Desperate roars and futile resistance lasted only for a few short breaths.

Sword light flashed, blood splattered.

Accompanied by a few short, mournful screams, the bottom of the valley quickly returned to complete silence. Only the strong smell of blood began to permeate the air, mixing with the cold golden Demonic Qi, forming a nauseating odor.

The scarred Golden-Armored Rhino stopped its attack, its massive head slightly swaying, its cold beast eyes cautiously yet with a hint of confusion looking at this terrifying existence that had suddenly appeared and instantly dealt with all the "flies" with lightning speed. It instinctively felt a more dangerous aura from this human than from the four combined, especially the aura emanating from that ethereal blue longsword, which made its heart palpitate.

Lin Feng didn't even look at the Golden-Armored Rhino, quickly clearing the battlefield.

He collected all four people's Storage Pouches and the Magical Artifacts that had fallen to the ground. His movements were practiced and meticulous.

After doing all this, his cold gaze swept over the still wary Golden-Armored Rhino. The Golden-Armored Rhino let out a low roar, its massive hooves restlessly pawing the ground, but it did not actively attack.

Lin Feng chose not to fight to the death with this thick-skinned behemoth; it was meaningless.

His figure flickered, like a wisp of smoke, sweeping towards the top of the canyon, disappearing into the dense golden demonic mist in a few leaps, leaving behind only chaos at the bottom of the valley and a bewildered giant beast.

After this battle, he not only gained spoils of war but also once again profoundly experienced the cruelty of the Secret Realm's Law and the true face of the Cultivation world. It also made him realize that he must find enough High Grade golden essence faster and then leave this dangerous place where killing intent lurked at every step. A few days later, after passing through a treacherous area filled with sharp metal fragments, like a mountain of blades, the scene before him suddenly opened up. A relatively flat but vast basin, filled with a heart-palpitating and terrifying pressure, appeared before his eyes.

In the center of the basin, a majestic, ancient palace ruin, seemingly entirely forged from some dark golden divine metal, stood silently, exuding an ancient and desolate aura.

The core area of the Gold Marrow Island Secret Realm had been reached!
