Chapter 53: Precisely, All a Performance

"What a madman!"

"Perish! Roaring Thunder Strike!"

With a gaze filled with hatred and contempt, Zhou Ruiyu seized the opportunity amidst Lin Feng's distraction and launched a direct attack on his opponent from behind!

His hands came together,

As countless white lightning flashes flickered and merged to form a thunderous broadsword!

Boom!

An overwhelming pressure radiated outwards, compelling every living being within a ten-kilometer radius to tremble in fear!

"No!"

"It is you who will die!"

Lin Feng was utterly petrified, the intense life-or-death crisis causing him to abandon the Burning World Red Lotus state and unleash its full force!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Within his dantian,

The Burning World Red Lotus displayed numerous fissures!

Its rank plummeted straight from the Inquiring Journey Realm to the Mysterious Platform Realm, and continued to deteriorate!

Nevertheless,

A tremendously fearsome power also surged within Lin Feng's body.

Boom!

An orange-hued miniature mushroom cloud erupted, and the ferocious Burning World Flames engulfed everything, instantly consuming Zhou Ruiyu!

"Aaahhh!"

"How can this be, how can this be!"

Zhou Ruiyu released a wretched scream as his entire body transformed into a blazing torch, frantically rushing towards the river.

However.

Just as he touched the water, that portion of the river instantly evaporated!

"Whew!"

"Lin Feng's trump card is shockingly powerful. Thankfully, I heeded my nephew's advice and didn't charge up with Zhou Ruiyu!"

From a distance, Jiang Xingtai observed Zhou Ruiyu's pitiful condition on the battlefield and involuntarily shuddered.

At that moment,

"Perish!"

Lin Feng bellowed towards the heavens, his body turning into a mixture of black and red, riddled with numerous fissures, resembling a shattered porcelain doll!

Another surge of the fearsome Burning World Flames erupted, transforming into a sea of fire that descended upon Zhou Ruiyu!Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Thunder Shield!"

Despite being gravely injured, Zhou Ruiyu was still a seasoned combatant and rapidly launched a counteroffensive!

Simultaneously, a chain of lightning bolts burst forth from his body, forming a dense, net-like shield!

Boom!

The flames and lightning collided.

A formidable shockwave exploded.

Sizzle!

Zhou Ruiyu's Thunder Shield steadily crumbled, and his expression suddenly altered drastically. Displaying a hint of terror, he cried out: "Brother Jiang, save me!"

"Mountain Breaking Sword Edge!"

Jiang Xingtai knew he couldn't merely stand idly by; thus, he promptly raised his hand and swung it with determination!

A Spiritual Awakening rank longsword materialized in his grasp. As he swung it, an immense surge of sword qi erupted and slashed toward Lin Feng's head!

"Ahhh!"

"How can this be!"

"Jiang Chen, how are you able to withstand my Burning World Flame!?"

Lin Feng's eyes became bloodshot as he unleashed even more intense Burning World Flames throughout his body.

Yet, even so,

He couldn't immediately overpower Jiang Chen.

Unexpectedly, he found himself in disbelief!

For Jiang Chen was merely a Spiritual Awakening realm cultivator!

"Hahaha!"

"Did you assume the Spiritual Awakening realm was my true cultivation level?"

"Did you believe you were the only one concealing your true power?"

"Allow me to reveal my actual cultivation realm!"

Jiang Chen laughed heartily before directly lifting the Moondust Ring's ability to hide his genuine cultivation realm!

Abruptly.

A potent Mysterious Platform realm aura erupted from his body!

Jiang Chen had utilized the Ten-Turn Harmonious Spirit Pill and the finest Spiritual Awakening realm pill, the Clearing Mind Awakening Spirit Pill, to advance to the Mysterious Platform realm.

Thus, his aura surpassed even Jiang Xingtai and Zhou Ruiyu's!

In that instant.

Jiang Chen's true cultivation realm was exposed.

Lin Feng was utterly astonished.

"You, you are a Mysterious Platform realm cultivator! You have concealed your true strength!"

"In the Vast Spirit Residence, you battled five Spiritual Awakening realm cultivators, and it should have been a breeze for you, yet you feigned being gravely injured. It was all an act!"

"You deceiver, you scoundrel! You misled everyone!"

"..."

Dumbstruck, Lin Feng gazed at Jiang Chen, his eyes narrowing progressively, brimming with boundless disbelief and rage!

The overwhelming torrent of emotions.

Caused his entire body to quiver!

He even momentarily forgot to resume his assault!

"Hahaha!"

"Precisely, it was all a performance!"

"From the beginning, I was merely pretending in front of you. It seemed as though I wished to recruit you, but in reality, my intent was to eliminate you!"

Jiang Chen laughed once more, before transforming it into an icy sneer.

He didn't utter these words because they had been pent up inside him for too long and needed release.

Rather, he aimed to stall Lin Feng for a bit more time!

Power-up style battles were unsustainable in the long run.

The more protracted the conflict, the greater the disadvantage for Lin Feng!

"You wish to kill me!"

"I knew you harbored hidden intentions!"

"Yet, with your cultivation realm, you could have slain me long before I descended from the mountain. Why did you refrain?"

"Is it possible that... you're merely toying with me, exploiting me for your own entertainment!?"

As Lin Feng articulated his thoughts, fury surged within his heart like a volcanic eruption. He was instantly consumed with rage, nearly detonating on the spot!
