The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 663: General Weiyuan, Ling Feng!

"Hmph, just a bunch of trash fighting one another."

From a distance, Yan Jinghong, who stood tall on the watchtower, had a flicker of anger flash through his eyes.

Those admiring glances, those gazes of reverence—everything should belong to him!

And Ling Feng was just mere garbage in his eyes.

"Enjoy yourself for a few more days. Hmph."

Yan Jinghong chuckled coldly. His sharp eyes pierced through the vast distance as he stared directly at Ling Feng. With a sneer, he said, "You won't live past six months anyway.

"But don't disappoint me too much. It'll be boring if you don't even have the qualifications to challenge the Royal Sword Team by then. Hahaha..."

The next moment, Yan Jinghong vanished from the spot. The watchtower he stood upon was left with a thick layer of frost, and as soon as he disappeared, the entire structure crumbled with a loud crash, turning into a pile of icy shards.

...

Yan Jinghong!

On the stage, Ling Feng suddenly felt a chilling sensation, and his gaze sharpened.

He could sense Yan Jinghong's presence in that icy aura. That cold and fierce gaze seemed to freeze his very soul.

He had indeed been growing stronger, but Yan Jinghong had also become more powerful.

That monstrous prodigy, known as the empire’s legend, was his true opponent. He was the one destined to face him in a battle of fate!

"This dull competition should come to an end!"

At that moment, Ling Feng suddenly stopped on the spot. As he spoke, his aura shifted dramatically. His Lingtian Sword Force was unleashed!

The martial artists of the Tianyang Empire felt an overwhelming pressure swept over them. They all paled right at that moment.

"S-Sword Force!"

They were no fools and knew well what sword force meant. Generally, mastering sword force would require achieving perfection in sword will!

But Ling Feng was clearly just a martial artist in the Pulse Formation Realm. How could he have reached perfection in Sword Will?

This defied all reason!

Monster, this guy was truly a monster!

No wonder he could even snatch the Mystical Yellow Flame from the Eleventh Prince. His abilities defied common sense.

"This isn't good!"

On the stage, the martial artists of Tianyang Empire felt their pupils shrink. Under the pressure of Ling Feng's sword force, their strength was suppressed by at least 30%, while Ling Feng seemed like the ruler of this battlefield, every move becoming more fierceful and domineering.

"Eight Directions Shatter Abyss!"

Ling Feng raised the Eradicator of Realms high, channeled a terrifying thunderous power and struck his sword like a hot knife through butter. No matter how desperately those martial artists mustered their true qi, they were sent flying by Ling Feng's single strike.

He held nothing back with this attack and used all of his true qi. Devastation followed wherever his blade pointed!

In a blink of an eye, over twenty martial artists of the Tianyang Empire were either killed or gravely injured. Even those who survived, after being penetrated by the sword qi, wouldn't be able to get out of bed without resting for half a year.

The most docile person would get angry if pushed too far, let alone Ling Feng.

If the Tianyang Empire wanted his head, they had to be ready to face death themselves!

Tianyang Empire's experts had been completely wiped out with no chance of coming back.

"Hahaha... We won! Ling Feng won!"

"Gosh, this guy is too terrifying. He even mastered sword force. No wonder they call him the most ruthless person in the imperial capital!"

"I see another legend in him. He’s someone who can rival the 'empire’s legend,' Yan Jinghong!"

"Mm-hmm, once he refines the Mystical Yellow Flame, he might really match Yan Jinghong."

"That may not be. Yan Jinghong is a monster, and is progressing absurdly fast. No one knows his true strength!"

"Well, anyway, both are geniuses and monsters beyond what we could ever imagine!"

The youths of the imperial capital below the arena were jumping with excitement. The Tianyang Empire had been defeated. They had completely lost!

"Haha! Miss, we won! I knew that dummy would pull through!"

Qiao Qiao excitedly hugged her sister's shoulders while Yue Yunlan shook her head with a smile. Although she predicted that the numerous enemies tactic wouldn't work against Ling Feng, she hadn't expected him to master sword force so well!

Wen Tingguang laughed heartily while looking at Ling Feng on the stage. "Sect Leader, did you see that? The attempt to pressure the kid's sword force with numbers didn't work!"

Even Liu Hongzhang who had once hated Ling Feng couldn't help but admire him now. This kid really is something! I shall improve my relationship with Ling Feng moving on. This kid might very well be the future son-in-law of the sect leader judging by the young lady's attitude towards him!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Xiahou Lie sternly stood up with a grim expression on his face. He had just witnessed a mere Pulse Formation Realm junior taking down more than twenty geniuses of the same tier with a single move!

What a genius!

Those were not ordinary people; they were the handpicked geniuses of the Tianyang Empire!

However, in front of Ling Feng, these so-called geniuses were nothing.

The difference between men could be greater than that of the difference between man and swine!

"How meaningless." Ling Feng smiled and glanced provocatively at Xiahou Lie, saying, "Well, General Xiahou, what do you think?"

Xiahou Lie's lips twitched. He had to admit Ling Feng's strength was terrifying beyond imagination.

He had almost no match under the Spiritual Element Realm.

Moreover, he had the Mystical Yellow Flame!

"Go back to your country! Tell your emperor that not a single inch of Tianbai's land shall be ceded!" Ling Feng raised his sword skyward and shouted loudly, "If you dare invade Tianbai, we shall destroy you however far you come!"

"You filthy commoner! What are you saying!?" Xiahou Lie's eyebrows furrowed in rage.

"He is no commoner!"

At that moment, the emperor of Tianbai slowly rose from his throne and called out to Ling Feng on the stage, saying, "Ling Feng, student of Tianwei, I hereby appoint you as General Weiyuan, with the rank of Commander of the Palace Guards! You shall command the imperial army, leading thousands into battle!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ling Feng nodded toward the emperor on the platform. He was well aware that the reward of the General Weiyuan title was honorary. The true reward came with the ranking as the Commander of the Palace Guards, but he would have no authority if he did not join the military.

Nevertheless, Ling Feng knew it would be foolish and disrespectful to refuse the emperor publicly.

The emperor of Tianbai nodded and turned to speak calmly with Xiahou Lie. "General Xiahou, since your country has been defeated by our General Weiyuan, the matter of ceding the three border cities is no longer up for negotiation. As for which three cities your nation will relinquish, you may discuss that with Grand Commandant Li."

After that, the emperor of Tianbai glanced at Ling Feng again, saying, "I decree that General Weiyuan, for his contributions in protecting the nation, shall be rewarded with three thousand households of land, an estate in the eastern outskirts, and one million elemental stones, along with one hundred thousand elemental crystals!"

Ling Feng's eyes widened. The emperor certainly didn't hold back!

Though the title of General Weiyuan was nominal, he was now a man of wealth and status.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the generous reward."

Ling Feng immediately knelt to accept the reward and express his gratitude.

"Mmm." The emperor of Tianbai nodded slightly and then said, "Very well, I am feeling weary. Grand Commandant Li, Sect Leader Yue, please entertain the envoys from Tianyang. I shall retire."

With that, the emperor of Tianbai waved his sleeves and strode toward the palace, followed closely by palace maids, eunuchs, and the imperial guards, who led the way with grandeur. Soon, they disappeared from sight...
