Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Destiny’s Fourth Layer, Killing the Half-Step Life-Death Realm

”What nonsense am I spouting? Everything I said has an absolute factual basis. The Store Manager of the auction house was killed – and yet you’re here, bestowing them with the Heavenly Moon Token. In my eyes, you’re absolutely unfit to be the Saintess of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird!” Liu Feng spoke coldly, his aura as imposing as a mountain.

”Liu Feng, as the Deputy Sect Master, watch your words and actions carefully; otherwise, I will certainly bring this matter to the Sect Master,” the Saintess trembled in anger as she pointed her finger at Liu Feng and scolded.

”You want to report me? It’s a good thing I haven’t reported you yet. Your actions today have done serious harm to the reputation of our Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird. After I return, I will naturally report this matter to the Sect Master. And you—you can stop dreaming of holding the title of Saintess,” Liu Feng sneered.

He didn’t have the slightest fear of the Saintess before him.

The current Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird had seen the rise of another prodigy with an incredibly potent bloodline, one who was very likely to replace the current Saintess. In the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird, the Saintess’s position was not entirely secure. Within the Sect, there were many candidates for Saintess. As long as these candidates’ cultivation bases could catch up to the current Saintess’s, they could replace her at any time.

The current prodigy had been discovered by Deputy Sect Master Liu, essentially making her his protégée. He had been putting enormous effort into cultivating her for many years, pouring all sorts of resources into her development. That young woman had a much more potent bloodline than the current Saintess; she simply hadn’t been in Cultivation for as long. However, after years of Cultivation, she had already reached Destiny Realm Level Six. As long as she broke through to Destiny Realm Level Seven, given the difference in their bloodlines, she could completely replace the current Saintess.

Thus, Liu Feng was fearless and could openly oppose the Saintess. It was only a matter of time before his protégée replaced the Saintess before him.

Upon hearing Liu Feng’s words, the Saintess was so angry she couldn’t speak. She was naturally aware of her precarious position within the Sect. Once replaced, she would be reduced to the status of an alternate Saintess. She could only regain her title if, someday, she surpassed the other woman.

Seeing the Saintess rendered speechless with anger, a triumphant smirk appeared on Liu Feng’s face. Then, his gaze fell upon Ye Yun.

He sized Ye Yun up from head to toe but couldn’t discern his cultivation base, so he sneered, ”I heard you’re also a great Cultivator at the Half-Step Life and Death Realm?”

Ye Yun looked at Liu Feng as if he were looking at a tiny ant, his expression indifferent, his eyes betraying no emotion.

”How dare you speak to my Master that way?” Seeing Liu Feng’s arrogance, the Big Black Cat was immediately enraged. Despite its low cultivation base, it dashed to the front without hesitation.

”You’re only at the Fourth Level of the Destiny Realm. Stay away from me, or don’t blame this old man for being impolite. I could slap you to death with a single blow,” Liu Feng roared with laughter.

”Really? You could slap him to death?” An interested expression appeared on Ye Yun’s face as he looked at Liu Feng and asked indifferently.

”Certainly!” Liu Feng nodded, speaking haughtily, ”To me, someone at the Fourth Level of the Destiny Realm is nothing more than an ant.”

Ye Yun turned to the Big Black Cat and said with a smile, ”Then let him try to slap you.”

Receiving approval from its Master, the Big Black Cat instantly puffed up with arrogance. Looking at Liu Feng, it said, ”Come on! If your Cat Grandpa here even frowns, then I’m not your grandpa!”

Seeing the Demon Clan youth’s audacity, Liu Feng became so enraged he was practically fuming. With a fierce look, he raised his hand to viciously slap the Big Black Cat.

The Big Black Cat raised its Black Shield and struck back. Although its Master had said to endure the opponent’s strike, he hadn’t said it couldn’t fight back. Besides, the Big Black Cat didn’t want Liu Feng’s filthy hand to touch its body.

The Saintess, watching from the side, felt her pupils contract slightly at this sight. She couldn’t help but worry about this Demon Clan youth’s fate. After all, Liu Feng was a powerful expert of the Life and Death Realm! A single slap from him, no matter how robust a Demon Clan member’s body was, would be impossible to endure. After all, most Cultivators of their Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird also possessed the Xuan bird bloodline and had extremely powerful physical bodies.

The large hand struck the Black Shield.

With a loud BOOM, Liu Feng’s body was unexpectedly sent flying backward by the rebound force.

”How is this possible?” Several old men watching the spectacle nearby couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.

The Big Black Cat, holding the shield, was completely unscathed. It licked its lips, a smug grin plastered on its face.

”Hehe! Your Deputy Sect Master is too weak, as frail as a chick! Is this all the skill you have? You can’t even harm me, someone at the Fourth Level of the Destiny Realm?”

Liu Feng suddenly shot forward again. His face was pale, and his aura was somewhat chaotic. He hadn’t expected his previous palm strike to be rebounded.

What on earth happened?

Could it be that this Demon Clan youth’s Black Shield is strange? Capable of blocking my strike?

At this thought, Liu Feng immediately drew a Sword and slashed out again. Sword-light flashed as the void itself seemed to crack, the Sword cleaving through the air.

The Big Black Cat employed the same tactic, raising its shield to meet the blow.

BOOM!

With another tremendous sound, Liu Feng was once again sent flying. This time, an overwhelming force surged through him, making his internal organs churn and causing him to instantly spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

”Deputy Sect Master Liu, are you alright?” The red-faced elder quickly rushed over to catch Deputy Sect Master Liu’s falling body. Seeing that the Deputy Sect Master was vomiting blood, his face turned pale with horror.

To think that this Demon Clan youth at the Fourth Level of the Destiny Realm was actually so formidable!

”I told you that you are no match for it. Do you still not believe it?” Ye Yun smiled, looked at the Big Black Cat, and said, ”Kill him.”

”Haha, don’t worry, Master. I’ll take care of this trash!” the Big Black Cat burst out laughing. Then, with utmost arrogance, it transformed into a beam of black light and charged forward, raising its Black Shield and smashing down viciously.

Seeing this, the red-faced elder immediately raised his Sword to meet the attack. Liu Feng, also greatly shocked, hastily mobilized all his Mana and unleashed the most powerful Swordsmanship technique of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird. Sword-light HISSSED as Sword Intent surged like a tidal wave, rolling up from the ground. Meanwhile, the Black Shield descended like a great mountain, smashing down.

A deafening CRASH was heard, followed by two agonizing screams. Liu Feng and the red-faced elder were instantly smashed into two piles of bloody pulp by the enlarging Black Shield.

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone present. Many nearby Cultivator onlookers shivered in fear at the sight. The few elders from the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird trembled violently; some even wet their pants in terror. Urine flowed down their trouser legs to the ground, emitting a foul stench.

Watching this unfold from the side, the Saintess’s pupils contracted sharply.

Deputy Sect Master Liu... is dead?

Is this Demon Clan youth truly so capable, or was this all orchestrated by that white-robed young man at the Half-Step Life and Death Realm?

If it truly was orchestrated by this white-robed young man...

What kind of Divine Skill is this?

To be able to control another Demon Clan Cultivator of the Destiny Realm?

The Saintess had lived for a long time but had never witnessed such a bizarre scene. She was terrified, her face paling in fright.

Silence. The surroundings were as still as death.

An elder from the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird, looking terrified, stammered at the Big Black Cat, ”You... you killed our Deputy Sect Master! You will pay for this!”

”What price? Is there anyone in your Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird who could possibly be my opponent?” The Big Black Cat swayed as it roared with laughter. For the first time, it, with its cultivation base at the Fourth Level of the Destiny Realm, had slain a powerful expert of the Half-Step Life and Death Realm. It felt extremely gratified.
