Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 1528: The Sapphire-Blue Scorpion Strikes

A sapphire-blue stinger, like something out of a dream, pierced through the air and straight toward the center of Li Feng's forehead.

The scorpion had just made its move, launching a single blow that was as fast as it was deadly.

It intended to kill Li Feng in a single blow.

"Scram!"

Zhang Lie thundered, having watched Li Feng's fight carefully. The moment something happened, he struck.

"[Ninecarp Transformation: Golden Tiger]!"

The image of a golden tiger appeared behind Zhang Lie's back, and its roar echoed through the air. A golden aura suffused Zhang Lie. A mountain of blades rested atop the tiger's back, and Zhang Lie's body itself underwent a transformation. His hair turned silvery-white, until they became akin to silver needles.

His genetic energy likewise became more honed. Silvery-white genetic energy gathered over his body, and tigers' stripes appeared on his arms. His eyes became those of a tiger's, and steely sharpness erupted from every pore.

A layer of crystal formed over his fists as he caught the scorpion's stinger.

Suddenly, a woman dressed completely in black struck.

A black vine appeared on her palm and transformed into a lance as she shot over, intending to destroy her competition.

Clearly, she wasn't an enemy of the illustrious fifth-realm group that had banded together to take down Team Zenith.

"[Fists of the Silent Sea: Fade]!"

The [Fists of the Silent Sea] formed a fist in combination with the black serpent form and a mallet with the golden tiger. The condensed genetic energy solidified into sharp silver crystal, flying even faster through the air than the black vine. The crystal cut the vine apart mid-flight, but Zhang Lie didn't react just yet. There were multiple opponents waiting.

A man struck simultaneously as the woman in black did. A black blade whizzed through the air.

The members of Team Zenith were all being pressed by their opponents, and didn't have the attention to spare to deal with the sneak attack.

Just as the black blade was about to land on Li Feng's head, a golden figure flashed across the air, struck the man's body, and knocked him flying.

The man thundered, "What are you doing?!"

The golden figure was none other than the cultivator in gold, wreathed in golden light and wearing a golden mask.

The golden cultivator looked toward Yang Ze. "I apologize. That fellow knocked me over here."

Yang Ze frowned, pointing at himself, then smiled confidently. His longsword arced across the air.

"[The Boundless Blade: Ersatz Yawning Wave]!"

A sword flashed, the strike forming a long river through the skies. The genetic energy burst apart in a shower of droplets, the attacks infused with spatial force.

The cultivator with a lamp blew on his divine solar lamp, causing it to flare brightly as it struck water-attuned genetic energy once again.

With the divine solar lamp shielding him, the cultivator frowned. When the golden mask shot over, the cultivator with the lamp thought that the golden mask intended to fight Yang Ze alongside him, but the golden mask was struck by Yang Ze's counterattack and tossed easily a hundred meters away, almost like a bullet. He smashed into the man wielding a black blade.

The cultivator with the golden lamp wouldn't have been surprised if the golden mask had been aiming for the man with a black blade to begin with.

However, he had no proof of this, and making an accusation that he couldn't back up would only cause the battlefield to grow even more chaotic.

After all, their team was only temporary; they didn't cooperate with each other at all. If they had reason to doubt and suspect one another, that doubt and suspicion would only be magnified until they weren't able to cooperate at all.

This was a clear downside of their temporary alliance compared to the bond that the members of Team Zenith shared.

More importantly, the cultivator with the golden lamp didn't know who would be able to go against their client.

When the Immortal King's substitute saw that no one was helping him stop Li Feng, his face contorted in fear. He rushed toward the altar. "Save me, Sir!"

Radiant Sun let him pass by.

The man in dark green robes slowly stood up and extended a hand toward the void. Before the Immortal King's substitute could make it up to him, he felt as though he crashed against something. He stopped short. Silver blood leaked down his mouth. He lowered his head to see a parched hand sticking through his chest.

The Immortal King's substitute gaped at the man in dark green robes who stood before him.

The man said slowly, "Failure is tolerable to the Hall of Immortals, but the sight of your failure was intolerable."

Everyone glanced at the Immortal King's substitute in unison, their fights temporarily forgotten.

Only Radiant Sun stood calmly where he was, as though everything was perfectly normal.

"Even if you die, you should die in front of your opponent. The Hall of Immortals forbids such a humiliating display." The man in dark green robes tossed the Immortal King's substitute into the pillar of light, scattering his silver blood and mental fragments within. The pillar of light suddenly grew several fractions brighter, as though it had absorbed the Immortal King's substitute's strength.

Li Feng's eyes grew cold. His sword shone brightly.

The intersection of the real and the illusory—Li Feng's strength combined both domains. Thousands of holy dragons swept across the sky.

His strength surpassed time and space, the real and the illusory.

At that moment, time became meaningless to Li Feng.

The technique affected not just time, but space and even reality itself. The technique intersected reality and illusion. This was a strength that transcended this realm, and Li Feng's blade could kill even a transcendent god.

With this strength which converted legend into reality, Li Feng's target switched from the Immortal King's substitute to the man in dark green robes who had just struck.

Blinding light gathered around the sword; the rest of the world seemed to dim.

The man in dark green robes reacted calmly even against this shocking display of light. He reached out and tapped at the void. The darkest of abyssal darkness seemed to manifest over the altar, shattering reality and illusion. Li Feng's ultimate attack vanished from sight as though it had never existed.

The attack, which had sparked such fear in the Immortal King's substitute, was nothing like a joke to the man in dark green robes. A single finger was all it took to cause it to vanish from sight.

The man in dark green robes folded his arms. "Well? Aren't you all going to continue?"

Leiting Ya, Feng Xian, and the cultivator with the golden lamp shook their heads to clear their thoughts as they began fighting furiously.

The man in dark green robes was speaking ostensibly to Li Feng, but also as a warning to the rest of them.

Upon witnessing his strength, everyone else was cowed and chilled—everyone except Zhang Lie and Radiant Sun. Zhang Lie stared intently at the man in dark green robes, but no one could tell what he was thinking.

Despite the fact that the Immortal King's substitute had been the first cultivator to be eliminated, that didn't mean that Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith were doing well. With the inclusion of the woman in black and the man with the black blade, the battle hadn't tilted in their favor. Li Feng, simultaneously attacked by the man and woman, was unable to spare any attention to help his allies.

The man in dark green robes turned and glanced at the pillar to his back. "It should be a little faster, I suppose."

Then, he sat back down on the stairs and watched the fighting down below.

On the other side of the altar, with a low shout, Fang Yi dashed forward with his spear in hand.

Fang Yi launched his spear, crackling with wind and lightning, with incredible force.
