257: Chapter 257 Wang Sheng's Demise

However, just as he prepared to activate the Talisman to break the Restriction, several hostile figures appeared like ghosts from the dense forest behind them, blocking their path.

"Heh, Senior Brother Lin, trust you have been well."

A voice full of resentment, mockery, and sarcasm slowly drifted from behind that group of people.

Upon hearing this voice, Gao Feng frowned deeply.

He was all too familiar with this voice!

He slowly turned around to see a youth dressed in Tianyan Sect attire, his face twisted with jealousy and hatred, staring at him as if looking at a dead person.

Wang Sheng!

That so-called Genius who had been knocked off the arena by his single punch during the Outer Sect Tournament, losing all face!

Unexpectedly, he had also entered this Secret Realm!

And looking at the aura on him, he had actually already achieved a Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer!

"Wang Sheng?!" Lin Hao was also stunned when he saw the newcomer, his expression immediately darkening, "You actually defected to the Tianyan Sect?!"

"Defected?" Wang Sheng laughed wildly as if he had heard a huge joke, his laughter filled with endless resentment and madness, "This isn't called defecting! This is called abandoning darkness for light! That trash Sect, Wuxiang Temple, which only knows how to favor trash from the Lower Realm, is simply unworthy of my service!"

His gaze locked onto Gao Feng like a viper, and he spoke word by word, gritting his teeth: "Gao Feng! You damn trash! You didn't expect this, did you? We've met again so soon! Last time in the Outer Sect, you were lucky to win once, but today in this Secret Realm, I will return all the humiliation you brought upon me a thousandfold, ten thousandfold!"

Boom! A wave of scorching hot air exploded from his body!

Two clusters of crimson, raging flames filled with destructive aura ignited out of thin air on his hands!

"Flame Spell!"

Lin Hao's pupils constricted sharply!

This was a unique high-level Spell of the Tianyan Sect with immense power; ordinary Disciples were simply not qualified to Cultivate it!

It seemed that in order to take revenge, Wang Sheng had truly spared no cost and completely leaned towards the Tianyan Sect!

"Wang Sheng, I advise you not to make a mistake," Lin Hao said coldly, "This ancient ruin was discovered by our Wuxiang Temple first. For your Tianyan Sect to want a share, isn't that putting us in a position where you don't take us seriously at all?"

"Hahaha! Lin Hao, stop posturing here!"

A tall, burly-looking youth also dressed in Tianyan Sect attire stepped out from behind Wang Sheng. He exuded the powerful aura of the Qi Refining Seventh Layer; he was clearly the Captain of this Tianyan Sect team.

He glanced at the Restriction-breaking Talisman in Lin Hao's hand, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes, and sneered: "The things in this Secret Realm are ownerless items by nature. Whoever has the ability gets them! I advise you to obediently hand over that Restriction-breaking Talisman, otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Their team had a full five people. Besides this Qi Refining Seventh Layer Captain, there was the traitor Wang Sheng at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, and three other experts at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

Whether in numbers or top-tier combat power, they held an absolute advantage!

More importantly, they knew that Lin Hao's team only had one Restriction-breaking Talisman!

As long as they snatched this Talisman, all the treasures in the ancient ruins would be in their pockets!

"Want the Restriction-breaking Talisman? Sure." A strange smile suddenly appeared on Lin Hao's face, "I'm just afraid you don't have the life to take it!"

Before the words fell! The green wind sword in his hand had already turned into a bolt of green lightning, fiercely slashing towards the Tianyan Sect Captain!

Negotiations, broken! Battle, instantly erupted!

"Seeking death!" The Tianyan Sect Captain roared and slammed his hands onto the ground!

"Earth Wall Spell!" Rumble! An incomparably thick and huge earth wall rose from the ground, blocking in front of him!

Lin Hao's Flying Sword slashed onto the earth wall, emitting a dull, loud sound, yet it only left a shallow white mark!

"Earth Dragon Spell!" The Tianyan Sect Captain roared again. Countless soil on the ground gathered into a ferocious and huge earth dragon, baring fangs and brandishing claws as it pounced fiercely towards Lin Hao!

On the other side, Wang Sheng had long been impatient to find his target!

"Gao Feng! Die!" He let out a crazy roar. The two clusters of flames on his hands instantly turned into two ferocious fire snakes, carrying a terrifying high temperature that would burn everything, and swept towards Gao Feng!

He wanted to use this unique secret technique of the Tianyan Sect to burn this trash, whom he hated to the bone, alive into ashes!

Facing the surging fire snakes, Gao Feng's face remained calm, like an ancient well without ripples.

He couldn't even be bothered to dodge! He just silently circulated the Nine Revolutions Profound Body Art, and a faint golden halo flowed endlessly on the surface of his skin.

At the same time, the spiritual spring water in his personal space poured into his limbs and bones like it didn't cost a thing, forming an invisible protective layer full of life and purifying power.

"Boom!" The two ferocious fire snakes slammed solidly onto Gao Feng! The violent flames instantly swallowed him whole!

"Hahaha! Dead! Finally dead!" Seeing this scene, Wang Sheng couldn't help but laugh wildly, his face full of the pleasure of revenge!

He seemed to have already seen the miserable appearance of Gao Feng struggling and wailing in the flames, eventually turning into a charred corpse!

However, before his laughter had faded, it came to an abrupt halt!

He saw that within the raging flames, a tall, upright figure walked out slowly, completely unharmed!

The violent flames continued to burn on him, yet they couldn't even damage a single hair of his!

"This... how is this possible?!" Wang Sheng's eyes were about to pop out!

His Flame Spell, which was enough to melt gold and iron, actually didn't cause any damage to this trash?!

"Is that all the ability you have?" Gao Feng's voice was like a cold wind from the Nine Netherworlds, icy and mocking, "Wang Sheng, it seems that even if you defected to the Tianyan Sect, you are still a piece of trash."

"You!" Wang Sheng was so angry at this sentence that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" He let out a crazy roar and activated his spiritual power again, wanting to perform a more powerful Spell!

But it was too late! Just at the moment he was distracted! Gao Feng's figure had already appeared in front of him like a ghost!

"Too slow." Gao Feng's cold voice rang softly in his ear.

Wang Sheng only felt an unprecedented, terrifying pressure as heavy as a mountain rushing towards him, making it difficult for him to even breathe!

Without thinking, he wanted to retreat! But Gao Feng's fist, shimmering with a golden halo, had already landed on his chest like a maggot on the bone!

Mountain Crushing Fist! This was a domineering fist technique that was extremely rigid and fierce, which Gao Feng had comprehended himself based on his past life's combat skills after Fusion with the Nine Revolutions Profound Body Art!

This punch had no frills, only the purest, most extreme power!

Bang! A dull, loud sound! Wang Sheng only felt his chest had been violently hit by an ancient beast!

The bones in his chest emitted a teeth-aching "crack" sound and instantly collapsed!

His whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, spraying a large mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments in the air, and fell heavily to the ground, life or death unknown!

One punch! Just one punch! Wang Sheng, who was at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer and held a high-level Spell, was completely killed in seconds by Gao Feng as if crushing an ant!

The battle situation here instantly reversed!

On the other side, the battle between Lin Hao and the Tianyan Sect Captain was equally intense. But with the addition of Tianxin, Yun Xi, and Shi Lei, that Tianyan Sect Captain gradually fell into a disadvantage.

When he saw Wang Sheng being blasted by Gao Feng's punch until his life or death was unknown, a stormy sea was stirred up in his heart!

He knew they had kicked an iron plate! This Body Refining Cultivator, who seemingly only had the cultivation of the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, was simply a prehistoric Vicious Beast in sheep's clothing!

"Retreat!" He made a decisive decision, let out an unwilling roar, feinted a move to force back Lin Hao, and then fled the place in a sorry state with the remaining three team members without looking back.

A conflict caused by the fight for the entrance of the ruins ended with the complete victory of Lin Hao's team.

"High... Junior Brother Gao Feng, you..." Lin Hao looked at Wang Sheng on the ground like a dead dog, and then looked at Gao Feng, who looked indifferent as if he had just done a trivial thing, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He could only smile bitterly in his heart. After all, he had still underestimated this mysterious youth from the Lower Realm.

Watching the backs of the Tianyan Sect people fleeing in a sorry state, as well as Wang Sheng on the ground who was like a dead dog, the members of Lin Hao's team all breathed a long sigh of relief.

A potentially fatal crisis was once again forcibly resolved by Gao Feng in a near-barbaric manner.

"Senior Brother Gao Feng, are... are you okay?" Yun Xi looked at Gao Feng's arm, which had withstood the Flame Spell but was still as smooth as jade, her beautiful eyes filled with unbelievable shock and admiration.

"I'm fine." Gao Feng shook his head, his gaze falling on Wang Sheng, who was like a dead dog, a trace of cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.

For such an enemy who wanted to put him to death again and again, he would never be soft-hearted.

"Junior Brother Gao Feng, let me handle this person." Lin Hao seemed to have seen through his thoughts, walked up, and sighed softly, "Although he betrayed the Sect, he was eventually a Disciple of Wuxiang Temple. If we kill him here, it might be troublesome if it spreads back to the Sect. It's better to cripple his cultivation and let him fend for himself."

Gao Feng pondered for a moment after hearing this and finally nodded. He knew that Lin Hao made sense.

Although he didn't care about any Sect rules, he didn't want to cause himself unnecessary trouble because of a piece of scum.

Lin Hao didn't say anything more, stepped forward, and pointed at Wang Sheng's Dantian. With a soft "poof" sound, Wang Sheng's already seriously injured body trembled violently, and his Dantian Qi Sea was instantly crippled.

From now on, he would completely become a cripple who was not even as good as a Mortal. In this dangerous Secret Realm, only death awaited him.

After dealing with Wang Sheng, everyone's gaze focused again on the ancient palace exuding an ancient aura.

"Alright, the miscellaneous people have been dealt with." Lin Hao looked at the Restriction-breaking Talisman in his hand, and an excited look appeared on his face again, "Now, it's time for us to reap the fruits of victory!"

However, just as he was about to activate the Talisman, Tianxin suddenly spoke, "Senior Brother Lin, wait a moment."

The young girl walked to the huge energy light screen, stretched out her slender jade fingers to gently touch the endlessly flowing runes, her bright eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.
