144: Chapter 144 Critical Strike with Every Strike, One Move Takes Down a Land Immortal

The death of Chu Mengxi was like a falling leaf landing in a surging river; it did not stir even the slightest ripple in Lin Feng's heart.

To him, this was merely clearing away a potential threat and, incidentally, recovering a "return on investment" of critical hit points.

His immensely powerful Divine Sense, like an invisible net, surged forth violently, beginning to function as a radar in the most brutal manner possible.

One by one, the light dots representing the hunting squads formed a clear map in Lin Feng's mind.

"Interesting. You really went all out to kill me."

Lin Feng looked at those marked targets, all experts with cultivation at least at the sixth level of the Martial Extremity Realm.

A smile of unmasked excitement appeared on his face, the kind a hunter wears when seeing prey filling the mountains.

"Emperor Xia, Sword Demon Zhang Cheng, Commander-in-Chief Wei Zheng... you all treat me as prey on your chessboard."

"Since you are so enthusiastic about delivering heads to me, wouldn't it be impolite if I didn't receive you properly?"

He did not choose to flee, nor did he choose to hide.

He did the opposite!

He took the initiative!

He would turn this "Great Hunt" orchestrated by the three giants into a bloody feast of his own, madly harvesting critical hit points!

...

Three days later, on the outskirts of the Fallen Dragon Ancient Forest, a hunting squad composed of thirty elite Shadow Guards was moving silently through the forest like ghosts.

Each of them wore specially made black soft armor, blending into the surrounding shadows, their presence suppressed to the extreme.

Leading them was a commander whose aura had reached the sixth level of the Martial Extremity Realm, with a blood-colored curved blade hanging at his waist.

"Get your heads in the game!"

The commander used a secret technique that only they could hear to transmit his voice: "According to the final sensing of the 'Imperial Blood Soul-Chasing Order,' that Devil Head is in this area! Intelligence shows he just went through a major battle and must be seriously injured; he can't have gone far!"

However, just as he finished speaking.

A lazy voice came from the dense tree canopy above their heads without warning, echoing clearly in everyone's ears.

"Are you looking for me?"

Everyone looked up abruptly, their hearts feeling as if they had been tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand, skipping a beat instantly!

A figure in hemp clothes wearing a bronze ghost mask had appeared silently, standing there, looking down at them from above with eyes like he was watching a group of dead ants.

"Sword Ghost!"

The commander was terrified; he never dreamed that the target, instead of fleeing in heavy injury as the intelligence reported, would appear so brazenly!

"Form the Heaven-and-Earth Net Formation!"

He made a prompt decision and shouted sharply.

However, it was too late.

"Domain, open."

Lin Feng spat out three words indifferently.

The gray Domain of Extinction expanded silently from him like a giant bubble, instantly enveloping the entire squad and the space for several miles around!

Inside the Domain, all things withered, life cut off!

The thirty well-trained elite Shadow Guards, capable of easily surrounding and killing an expert at the fifth level of the Martial Extremity Realm, didn't even have time to scream. They were like sand sculptures exposed to the scorching sun for thousands of years, crumbling inch by inch from their extremities, turning into dust filling the sky!

Only the commander, the one with the highest cultivation at the sixth level of the Martial Extremity Realm, was still struggling at the center of the Domain.

But his body was also withering and decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye! His skin lost its luster, and his flesh began to atrophy.

"You... your Domain... how is it possible..."

He let out the most terrified and desperate roar of his life; his own Domain was like paper in front of the other, instantly crushed.

"Noisy."

Lin Feng's figure appeared in front of him like a ghost, extending a finger and tapping it lightly on his glabella.

Pfft!

[Ding! Successfully killed the sixth-level Martial Extremity Realm Shadow Guard Commander!]

[critical hit multiplier increased to 15,100 times! Obtained 100 million critical hit points!]

...

Five days later, Yun Prefecture, Heavenly Sword Villa.

This was the largest Sword Dao Sect in Yun Prefecture and one of the Jianghu forces that responded most enthusiastically to Emperor Xia's "Imperial Blood Soul-Chasing Order," clamoring the loudest.

The Villa Master, "Heavenly Sword" Ye Wuyai, was at the ninth level of the Martial Extremity Realm. His "Heavenly Flight" sword technique was masterful, and he enjoyed a prestigious reputation throughout Yun Prefecture.

That night, inside the villa, lanterns were hung, guests were seated, and Sword Qi soared to the heavens.

Ye Wuyai was sitting in the main seat, high-spirited, discussing with heroes of the Righteous Path from all sides how to "uphold justice and execute the Sword Ghost," and how to divide the astronomical reward that would allow any Sect to ascend to the heavens in one step.

Just as the atmosphere in the great hall was at its hottest, and everyone seemed to already see the Sword Ghost's head being offered, and their own future of fame and wealth...

A young man in hemp clothes, holding a rusty iron sword, appeared silently at the entrance of the great hall, as if he had been standing there from the beginning.

"I heard you are looking for me?"

Lin Feng's voice was as flat as asking "Have you eaten?", yet it clearly drowned out all the noise in the hall.

"Sword Ghost!"

Ye Wuyai was shocked at first, then furious. He abruptly drew the cold, gleaming precious sword from his waist, pointing it at Lin Feng, his voice like a booming bell.

"You arrogant maniac! How dare you walk right into the trap! Today, I, Ye Wuyai, will use your blood to sacrifice this Heaven-Questioning Sword of mine!"

"Noisy."

Lin Feng curled his lips in disdain, and then, in the horrified gaze of everyone, slowly drew the rusty sword in his hand.

"One Sword, Burying Immortals!"

A blood-colored sword light that seemed capable of slicing the sky in two appeared out of thin air!

That night, Heavenly Sword Villa flowed with blood.

From the Villa Master Ye Wuyai to the hundreds of so-called "heroes of the Righteous Path" in the hall, not a single one survived.

Only the gate, which had been sliced in half by a single sword, and the plaque engraved with the four characters "Heavenly Sword Villa," silently told the story that a god or demon had descended here.

[Ding! Successfully killed the ninth-level Martial Extremity Realm 'Heavenly Sword' Ye Wuyai!]

[critical hit multiplier increased to 15,200 times! Obtained 200 million critical hit points!]

...

Ten days later...

Twenty days later...

One month later...

Lin Feng's figure, like an untiring death god, a most efficient hunter, roamed across the vast lands of the Great Xia Dynasty.

His footprints covered the Nine Provinces.

Countless souls died under his sword.

Whether it was the elite hunting army sent by the royal family.

Or those Jianghu powerhouses whose heads were muddled by huge profits.

Or those Demonic Path giants who wanted to fish in troubled waters and seize the secrets on him.

In the face of his absolutely overwhelming strength, there was only one outcome.

Critical hits with every strike, one Earthly Immortal per move!

The fierce reputation of the "Sword Ghost" was no longer just "fierce"; it was a taboo, a living legend that could stop children from crying and make immortals tremble with fear!

And his cultivation, in this crazy hunt that swept the world, was soaring upwards at a completely unreasonable speed!

Sixth level of the Martial Extremity Realm!

Seventh level of the Martial Extremity Realm!

[Host: Lin Feng]

[Realm: Seventh level of the Martial Extremity Realm]

[Cultivation Technique: Dragon-Slaying Sword Canon (Major Achievement), Indestructible Asura Body (Major Achievement)]

[Domain: God-Demon Extinction]

[critical hit multiplier: 20,000 times]

[critical hit points: 7.58 billion]

When Lin Feng's figure appeared outside the capital again after several months, his entire aura had undergone a earth-shattering change.

He was still in those simple hemp clothes, still wearing that bronze mask without any patterns.

But the aura of returning to simplicity and merging with the Dao on him made him seem to have completely merged with this world.

Standing there, he was the sky, he was the earth, he was the only Law in this world!

He raised his head, looking at the imperial city that emitted majestic golden light and had Luck like a dragon under the afterglow of the setting sun.

A cold arc that could freeze the world curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Your daddy is here."
