150: Show your strength

Facing this encirclement, which was enough to make even a Nascent Soul (Middle Stage) Cultivator's scalp tingle, Lin Feng finally moved.

He did not summon his Flying Sword, but instead slowly raised his right hand. His index and middle fingers were pressed together, forming a Sword Finger. Above his fingertip, there was no dazzling light, but a highly condensed, heart-pounding Sword Intent and the power of lightning were furiously gathering and compressing. The surrounding air seemed to become viscous, ionized, emitting faint 'crackling' sounds.

Just as the maw of the central berserk shark was about to close—

“Silence.”

Lin Feng softly uttered a single word.

The next moment, an extremely thin, extremely bright, blue electric light, moving at a speed completely beyond the limits of visual perception, burst forth from his fingertip!

This electric light was not a straight line; instead, it twisted slightly as it shot out, as if it had leaped a tiny spatial distance, avoiding the tearing bite of the berserk shark's sharp teeth, and accurately, silently, struck the very center of the hardest bone plate on its forehead!

There was no deafening explosion, only a slight, yet teeth-grinding, 'thud' of penetration!

It was as if a red-hot branding iron had seared into fat!

That extremely condensed lightning Sword Qi, imbued with the penetrating Sword Intent of the Overturning Sea Sword Art and the Origin thunder power of the 'startling thunder' Sword, instantly destroyed all life within it!

That Foundation Establishment serrated berserk shark's fierce forward charge suddenly froze. The brutality in its eyes instantly turned into emptiness and death. Its massive body, propelled by inertia, surged forward for another dozen meters, finally crashing into the sea surface, splashing towering waves. Blood gushed out like a spring from the inconspicuous charred hole on its forehead.

Instant kill! A truly instantaneous kill!

All of this happened too quickly; so fast that the other two berserk sharks and the Yao Beasts behind them hadn't even reacted before their companion was already dead!

The exclamations within the Huangsha Market abruptly ceased. Everyone seemed to have had their throats choked, their eyes wide, watching in disbelief the rapidly reddening area on the sea surface and the floating, massive corpse.

The remaining two serrated berserk sharks were filled with shock and rage, letting out deafening roars as they lunged even more frantically at Lin Feng. At the same time, Demonic Qi surged around their bodies, and a thick, grayish-white keratin layer appeared on their skin, adopting a defensive posture.

However, Lin Feng's attacks were like a torrential downpour, without any pause.

At the exact moment they roared, a faint silver glow flashed in Lin Feng's deep eyes.

Purple Mansion-level Divine Sense attack—Spirit Piercer!

Formless and intangible, yet faster than a Flying Sword!

The two berserk sharks felt as if their heads had been violently struck by an invisible, red-hot giant hammer! Intense pain instantly swept through their Divine Souls, their consciousness went blank, their roars ceased abruptly, and their massive bodies reeled and tumbled on the sea surface like drunks, their eyes filled with extreme pain and confusion. They could barely maintain even the most basic water manipulation techniques, let alone attack.

And in this flash of lightning, as their Divine Souls were severely damaged and they lost control of their bodies—

Lin Feng flicked his sleeve, his movements graceful and unrestrained.

“Scatter.”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

Like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, or a military formation firing in unison! A full fifty 'Golden Sharp Armor-Breaking Talisman' shot out from his sleeve! These Talismans were not chaotic; instead, under the precise control of his powerful Divine Sense, they transformed into dozens of golden streaks of light, skillfully bypassing the two temporarily unthreatening berserk sharks, and, as if possessing life, accurately pounced on the more than twenty Qi Refining stage Yao Beasts behind them!

Each Talisman locked onto a single Yao Beast!

The next moment—

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!!

A continuous series of explosions instantly engulfed that area of the sea! The golden sharp Metal Qi erupted wildly, like a storm composed of countless invisible, sharp blades, cutting and tearing wantonly!

Those Qi Refining stage Yao Beasts, whether the rough-skinned and thick-fleshed 'Iron-Armored Turtles' or the swift-as-lightning 'Ghost-faced Arrowfish', were as fragile as paper in the face of this Talisman storm, which was comparable to a full-strength attack from a Nascent Soul (Middle Stage) Cultivator!

In an instant, severed limbs flew, scales shattered, and blood poured down like a torrential rain, staining large areas of the sea a shocking crimson! Horrifying screams were drowned out by the explosions, and a thick, nauseating smell of blood rose into the sky.

Before the Talisman light had completely dissipated, Lin Feng's mind stirred again.

Clang!

A clear sword cry resounded through the sea and sky. The 'startling thunder' Sword finally unsheathed! It transformed into a joyful and violent blue lightning bolt, splitting into two in the air, like two living lightning snakes, shooting at an uncatchable speed towards the two serrated berserk sharks, who had just recovered a trace of clarity from the intense Divine Soul pain and were still in a dazed state!

“Overturning Sea · startling thunder Flash!”

Where the sword light passed, space itself seemed to be cut with tiny cracks!

Hiss! Hiss!

Two enormous shark heads, with lingering fear and confusion, shot into the sky! The severed necks were as smooth as a mirror, only to be charred black by the violent lightning Sword Qi the next moment, preventing blood from spraying.

The headless corpses crashed heavily into the sea surface, mixing with the remains of the previous Qi Refining Yao Beasts.

From the moment Lin Feng made his move until the three Foundation Establishment Yao Beasts were dead and dozens of Qi Refining Yao Beasts were cleared, only a brief three to five breaths of time had passed!

The sea surface quickly returned to its normal undulations, but it was covered with dense Yao Beast corpses and broken remains, and the blood had stained the seawater crimson. The surging Demonic Qi and violent roars from before had all vanished without a trace, leaving only the sound of waves lapping against the corpses and the faint hum of the Huangsha Market's protective barrier.

Dead silence!

Absolute dead silence enveloped the entire Huangsha Market!

All Cultivators, whether Yellow Sand Sect Disciples or Loose Cultivators, were as if petrified, frozen in place, their eyes wide, their mouths agape, staring in disbelief at the slaughterhouse-like sea area outside the barrier, and the figure in blue robes suspended in the air, whose clothes were not even slightly disheveled.

A gentle breeze swept past, rustling his hair. His expression remained as calm as water, as if the lightning-fast, ruthless slaughter that had just occurred had nothing to do with him.

“Gulp.” Someone, it was unclear who, swallowed hard, the sound exceptionally clear in the silence.

Lin Qingyao clutched her mouth tightly with her hand, her beautiful eyes wide, her pupils constricted due to extreme shock. She watched Lin Feng casually wave his hand, retracting the Flying Sword, which was wrapped in blue electric light, back into his body, and looked at his calm profile, her mind a blank.

Instant kill Foundation Establishment? Talismans like rain? What level of Divine Sense attack was that?

This... was this really her nephew, Lin Feng, who had been away from home for ten years?!

This kind of strength... these kinds of methods... even the Clan Chief at his peak would be far inferior, wouldn't he?! Had he... had he already...

Yin Bao, squatting on Lin Feng's shoulder after he returned to the flying shuttle, smugly stroked his whiskers with his tiny paw, and 'squeaked' at the dazed Lin Qingyao, his small head held high. The meaning was clear: See that? Master of Lord Mouse! Amazing, right!

Lin Feng spoke as if he had done something insignificant, his tone still calm and indifferent, even with a hint of reassurance: “Just a little trouble, it's resolved. Clan Aunt, let's go.”

Lin Qingyao nodded mechanically, her mind still buzzing, and she dazedly followed Lin Feng onto the flying shuttle, her legs even feeling a bit weak.

The flying shuttle transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky, speeding towards Azure Wave Island, leaving behind a silent Huangsha Market, and countless gazes of shock, awe, and disbelief.

On the flying shuttle, after a long while, Lin Qingyao seemed to awaken from a dream. She suddenly turned her head, looking at Lin Feng's calm profile, her voice trembling slightly from extreme shock and excitement, and asked the question that had been swirling in everyone's minds:

“Little... Little Feng... what... what is your cultivation level now?”

Lin Feng turned his head, looked at her, and smiled slightly, revealing a set of white teeth, his tone as relaxed as if he were commenting on the weather:

“Foundation Establishment Late Stage, I suppose. Clan Aunt, hold on tight, we're going home.”

The flying shuttle's speed suddenly accelerated, breaking through the clouds, leaving the towering waves, the bloody battlefield, and countless questions and shocks far behind.
