Chapter 432: Lotus in the Left, Sword in The Right!

Edited by: Liky

Thursday's one more to come

One of the eight high-officials was attacking!

He was the first high-official to join the battles. What surprised the crowd the most was that when Chu Zhan Peng was attacking he gave absolutely no warning that he was going to do so. Was he, Attacking Lin Pheng by surprise?

Lin Pheng was still battling against She Qiong when suddenly Chu Zhan Peng went to attack Lin Pheng before the battle was over! He was definitely taking advantage of Lin Pheng's current situation.

When the crowd saw that silhouette streak across the sky and then nosedive towards Lin Pheng, they were all worried about Lin Pheng. Chu Zhan Peng was extremely fast thanks to his legendary roc spirit. He was so fast that it was incredible.

"Shamelehiss!" Shouted Duan Pheng at that moment while stamping onto the ground. When he saw Chu Zhan Peng attack, he couldn't help but shout out. His heart also twitched for Lin Pheng.

Even though Chu Zhan Peng had shouted something before entering the battle, he was too far away and it was only an attempt to justify a surprise attack. He was extremely fast which made Duan Pheng worry more about the safety of Lin Pheng.

Meng Qing's heart also abruptly started pounding. She released an ice-cold ice Qi which shot through the air towards Chu Zhan Peng, but even if she wanted to stop him, it was already too late. In the blink of an eye, Chu Zhan Peng had already arrived next to Lin Pheng.

"Be careful!" Shouted Meng Qing with all her power to warn Lin Pheng. Lin Pheng's eyes were ice-cold. With his incredible senses, Lin Pheng had of course sensed that Chu Zhan Peng was attacking him from behind. However, his deadly energy was still crashing through the atmosphere towards She Qiong, and Lin Pheng couldn't change that, he could only rely on his incredible senses to avoid the incoming attack.

The power of the wind enabled Lin Pheng to move in an extremely agile way, as if he could float through the air without resistance, at that moment, he was floating backwards.

"Pssh."

A sharp sound emerged in the air. Chu Zhan Peng's silhouette flickered and he abruptly adjusted his trajectory. He was aiming directly at Lin Pheng and his speed was increasing.

Lin Pheng was stupefied, how unbelievably fast! Chu Zhan Peng was so fast that Lin Pheng didn't even have the qualifications to dodge the attack.

""Whoosh, Whoosh. ." The sharp wings converged on Lin Pheng's abdomen, his clothes were torn to shreds as blood splashed out from two wounds.

"ee!" A terrifying power moved towards Lin Pheng again. Chu Zhan Peng had already moved back and dived towards Lin Pheng again, which blew him away for a second time. Lin Pheng's face deathly pale.

Lin Pheng was clearly injured after such a brutal onslaught. Chu Zhan Peng had attacked Lin Pheng with the element of surprise and because of the speed in which he attacked, Lin Pheng didn't have the time to defend and was actually injured. At the same time, the legendary roc continued beating its wings in the sky.

Even though Chu Zhan Peng was taking advantage of a difficult situation, his strength was still incredible, he was extremely strong. He had attacked and injured Lin Pheng in the blink of an eye.

Meng Qing's silhouette flickered and she immediately appeared in front of Lin Pheng obstructing the path towards the injured Lin Pheng. She released her ice Qi which soared to the skies, her face at this moment looked scary.

"Meng Qing, get back!" Lin Pheng raised his head and when he saw Meng Qing, he looked like he was scared and shouted out, which shocked Meng Qing.

"I have already told you, all those who try to humiliate or harm you will die. Today, no matter what price needs to be paid, I will keep my promise." Said Lin Pheng sounding determined which stupefied Meng Qing. Immediately after, her beautiful face turned red.

Lin Pheng had sworn that he would kill She Qiong, no matter what, he would keep his promise, because he had said that for her.

"Let me help!" Said Meng Qing who couldn't help but worry about Lin Pheng losing his life. Her ice energy made Lin Pheng feel chills as he grew closer.

"Let me do this alone!" Insisted Lin Pheng while shaking his head. He caressed Meng Qing's hair, smiled and said: "I told you, from now on, I will be the one to protect you." When Lin Pheng finished talking, he moved back and pulled Meng Qing away from the battle.

Meng Qing looked at Lin Pheng's back and felt proud. A magnificent and resplendent smile appeared on her face. That heartfelt smile made everything else in the world lose its splendour.

When the crowd saw that pure and holy smile, they were dazzled. Her beauty was simply breathtaking. For such a beauty, they were ready to kill the gods and worship devils.

Everybody who saw that scene started to feel that Meng Qing and Lin Pheng were made for each other, they were soulmates. As far as She Qiong was concerned, he was extremely far from being worthy of Meng Qing.

No matter what, if he won or lost this fight, the real protagonist on that day was Lin Pheng. Lin Pheng was doing everything in his power to keep Meng Qing smiling, with a smile which dazzled everyone.

Lin Pheng turned his head back to his opponents, his face was no longer soft and gentle as when he was speaking to Meng Qing, there was only the endless coldness of his pitch-black eyes. His pitch-black eyes were filled with killing intent. He was fixedly staring at She Qiong and Chu Zhan Peng.

"Chu Zhan Peng!" Lin Pheng laughed out as if the name itself was a joke.

"The other day, you stormed into to the Celestial Academy to challenge me, how prestigious! You wanted to fight against me and so we agreed to have our fight today. Even though you were despicable and attacked me from behind, I do not mind, I will still fight you today. The members of the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue are only a despicable bunch, nothing but a bunch of cowards and traitors. I have already grown used to their shamelessness, therefore, attacking me from behind is absolutely despicable, but I would expect nothing less from the scum of the Holy Courtyard." Shouted Lin Pheng whose words echoed across the sky. He was humiliating Chu Zhan Peng and the entire Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue.

Each and every person from the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue was staring at Lin Pheng with cold expressions, but none of them could find the words to reply.

"In front of someone stronger than you, words are useless. I, Chu Zhan Peng, will kill you and then nobody will dare to say that the way I attacked you was despicable. The people will continue to sing my praises and say that our battle was a magnificent display of my power." Said Chu Zhan Peng while staring at Lin Pheng in an ice-cold way. A moment before, Lin Pheng had been injured by his attack, that's all.

"You're right, in front of someone stronger, words are useless. Such shamelessness and such despicable methods are really lamentable. Chu Zhan Peng, I will kill you, you and She Qiong will be buried here today." When Lin Pheng finished talking, the crowd shivered. Lin Pheng was still as audacious as before, even when standing before one of the eight high-officials and She Qiong, two extremely strong cultivators.

Lin Pheng sounded like he was already certain of his victory against the two.

His deadly energy dashed into the skies. In Lin Pheng's right hand, there was a black sword filled with a terrifying killing intent.

At the same time, in his left hand, Lin Pheng was condensing a terrifying pure Qi. It was pouring into a vortex in his left hand.

Lin Pheng stretched out his left hand and the pure Qi transformed into a black flame, which perfectly matched the black sword in his right hand, he looked truly formidable.

But that wasn't the end, the black flame continued to absorb Lin Pheng's pure Qi as a black lotus slowly started to form in his hand, it was strangely beautiful.

The black lotus, the grim fire black lotus.

"boom boom boom boom!"

Everyone could hear the sound of their heart beating in their chest. They were astonished. They had thought that Lin Pheng's deadly energy was his hidden card but he still had even more up his sleeve.

Lin Pheng was still as shocking as ever. Every time people thought that he had shown his strength and power, they found out that they had only touched the surface of his true strength.

Was that terrifying black lotus the reason for Lin Pheng's confidence?

In his left hand, he held a calm and tranquil black lotus, in his right hand, he held a terrifying black sword which oozed killing intent, but they were shockingly both filled with the same monstrous deadly energy!

Lin Pheng was surrounded by deadly energy which fused into each of his hands, it was astonishing.

Chu Zhan Peng was surprised and looked directly at Lin Pheng's hands that held both the black lotus and the black sword. A trace of fear could be seen in his eyes.

Everybody already knew how powerful the deadly energy was, but the black lotus in Lin Pheng's hand also seemed incredibly powerful, maybe more so than the sword.

She Qiong had already seen Lin Pheng's black lotus and its terrifying power. Back then, Lin Pheng had only broken through to the first Xuan Qi layer but it was already enough to threaten his life when using it. At that moment, Lin Pheng's black lotus looked much more powerful than in the past.

"Chu Zhan Peng, today I will show you that apart from being detestable and attacking by surprise, there is nothing else you can do before me." Said Lin Pheng whose confidence made people shiver. He once again released a storm of deadly energy while talking, which filled the air around him.

Chu Zhan Peng pulled a long face. His wings were beating slowly when suddenly, his silhouette flickered and he disappeared from his initial position. He had thrown himself towards Lin Pheng.

Lin Pheng smiled coldly and stretched out his left hand. He then waved his hand and the black lotus suddenly started to open which made Chu Zhan Peng quickly turn in retreat.

"With his legendary roc spirit, he can really run away." Thought Lin Pheng ignoring the fact that Chu Zhan Peng had once again flew into the air ready to swoop down. Lin Pheng took a step and jumped towards She Qiong. His deadly energy was crashing through the air with him. At that moment, Lin Pheng had completely forgotten about his injuries.

She Qiong pulled a long face. Lin Pheng was definitely going to kill him, no matter what, because Lin Pheng was doing this for Meng Qing.

At that moment, She Qiong's heart violently pounded. He felt like he was facing a madman and that madman could not be reasoned with, he would only kill.

"Chu Zhan Peng, let's work together and kill him!" Shouted She Qiong while moving back at full speed.

The crowd sighed, this battle was too unfair. There were two people grouping against one and one of the group was even a high-official. The old man overseeing the competition didn't even try to stop such a battle from happening.
