To Duan Liang’s surprise, Ying Tianqing was not anxious at all.
Ignoring Duan Liang, Ying Tianqing shot a gaze towards Ji Nanyan, who was enveloped by divine light.
“Little Ji family girl, you bully my people like this, aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”
Ying Tianqing’s words sent Ji Zhengchun and others into a state of extreme alarm.
After all, Ji Nanyan was the Saintess of the Ji family, their future.
If anything were to happen to Ji Nanyan, the entire clan would be in an uproar.
Facing Ying Tianqing, Ji Nanyan remained undaunted and said softly, “Demon Emperor, I know that as a Great Emperor, you wouldn’t easily attack us juniors. It would tarnish your image.”
“Moreover, this is a matter of grievance between us youngsters, and it should be resolved by us. So you really shouldn’t interfere.”
Ji Nanyan was remarkably calm, as if she had other assurances, appearing exceptionally relaxed even when facing a Demon Emperor of his generation.
Ying Tianqing nodded, “That’s right, I shouldn’t interfere in the affairs of your young generation, nor does Lin Feng need my protection. I’m just wondering if your Ji family provokes Lin Feng because you think he’s easy to bully?”
“Demon Emperor, what do you mean by that? Do you think he still has the ability to protect himself now?”
Ji Nanyan was confused and fell into contemplation.
“If you were at the same level as Lin Feng, you would definitely not be his match.”
“Since you, little girl, enjoy bullying people so much, then I will let you all witness Lin Feng’s extraordinary nature in advance.”
After saying something that no one understood, Ying Tianqing raised his hand and gathered a terrifying demonic flame.
Then, to everyone’s astonishment, he sent the demonic flame into the Fen Tian Furnace.
This action not only baffled He Yuning and the others but also left Ji Nanyan utterly perplexed.
The Fen Tian Furnace was already hot enough to incinerate all things. Not only did the Demon Emperor not help Lin Feng escape, but he also added fuel to the fire. Wasn’t this trying to ensure Lin Feng’s more complete demise?
“Qing Ge Ge, what are you doing?”
Duan Liang was terrified, almost having a heart attack from Ying Tianqing’s action.
“Ahhh!”
Just as everyone was unable to comprehend, a pig-like scream echoed from within the Fen Tian Furnace.
The voice belonged to Lin Feng.
With Ying Tianqing’s added fuel, Lin Feng’s entire body ignited.
His flesh and blood were burnt to ashes, leaving only a skeleton.
The skeleton also began to burn, turning into dust.
Yet, after turning into dust, Lin Feng did not die. He felt his soul drift into a strange space.
Before him appeared an elder shrouded in white light.
The elder looked at Lin Feng and smiled, “Kid, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
“Who are you?”
Lin Feng looked at the ethereal elder before him, confused.
“Kid, you can call me Lin Tian Di. The Heaven and Earth Creation Art was created by me.”
“Originally, you would have met me after your death, but you’ve cheated death several times, so we couldn’t meet. Now, we have finally met.”
The elder spoke eloquently.
Lin Feng was startled, “Senior, if that’s the case, doesn’t that mean I’m completely dead now?”
“Not at all. Only your physical body has died. I will forge a new shell for you.”
“Remember, you are my only disciple, Lin Tian Di. As the successor of Tian Di, you carry my unfinished mission.”
As the elder spoke, without waiting for Lin Feng to clarify what was happening, his body began to disintegrate into points of light, rapidly merging into Lin Feng’s body.
With the infusion of the light particles, Lin Feng clearly felt his strength soaring.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back inside the Fen Tian Furnace.
This time, his body was completely unharmed by the flames within the Fen Tian Furnace. He didn’t even feel any intense heat.
His body felt like a magical artifact, devoid of any pain.
Most importantly, his strength had soared directly to the Mahayana stage.
Was this a rocket-powered ascent?
“Forget it, no more thinking. Getting out is the priority!”
Lin Feng said, and began to push with all his might against the tightly sealed furnace lid.
However, the lid seemed to be fused with the Fen Tian Furnace. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t open it.
Outside, Ji Nanyan, seeing no movement from the Fen Tian Furnace, assumed Lin Feng had been burnt to ashes.
After a moment of thought, she immediately used her mental power to lift the furnace lid.
As the lid was lifted, there was no reaction.
“It’s over, Xiao Fengzi is dead.”
He Yuqing looked at the now calm Fen Tian Furnace with sadness.
He Yuning also sensed a somber atmosphere, shaking her head helplessly, as if in regret.
“Qing Ge Ge, where is Lin Feng? He can’t be dead, right? If he’s dead, then I…”
Duan Liang was stopped by Ying Tianqing’s hand before she could finish.
“He’s not dead, and he can’t die,” Ying Tianqing said calmly. His words immediately baffled everyone present.
If he wasn’t dead, then where was Lin Feng?
Ji Nanyan also couldn’t understand Ying Tianqing’s strange words. She walked with graceful steps towards the quiet Fen Tian Furnace.
As she approached the Fen Tian Furnace and was about to peer inside,
“Wah!”
Lin Feng let out a cry as his head suddenly emerged from the furnace.
As if playing a prank, he not only startled the unprepared Ji Nanyan, causing her to stumble back several steps, but also frightened He Yuqing and the others who were intently watching.
“Xiao Fengzi, are you trying to die! You scared me to death, oh my!”
He Yuqing’s heart pounded as she repeatedly patted her chest with her hands.
“Since you miss me so much, how could I die so easily?”
Lin Feng climbed out of the Fen Tian Furnace with a smile.
Seeing Lin Feng alive and well, brimming with energy, Ji Nanyan’s delicate body trembled.
“Ji Nanyan, I didn’t die, are you very disappointed?”
Lin Feng smiled as he looked at the stunned Ji Nanyan.
Now possessing Mahayana stage strength, he felt no fear even in a battle against Ji Nanyan.
“Hmph, I am indeed surprised, but you will die by my hand sooner or later.”
Ji Nanyan regained her cold demeanor, still harboring great killing intent towards Lin Feng.
“Hey, you wife is not obedient. Since you want to murder your husband, don’t blame me for making you taste the feeling of being burned.”
Lin Feng took out his precious gourd. He unscrewed the lid, and the inside was filled with the purple flames he had absorbed within the Fen Tian Furnace.
He aimed the gourd at Ji Nanyan, and instantly, an endless stream of purple flames, like a breached dam, surged towards Ji Nanyan.
