Chapter 237: Star Blade, ranked 3rd on the Weapon Ranking

The air around them seemed to freeze at that moment, the temperature plummeting. In a single moment, the ambient temperature approached zero degrees Celsius. A thin layer of frost coated the grass and trees, as if cast under a spell. The chill seemed to penetrate the very bones of the human body and freeze the soul.

By the time Lin Feng realized something was amiss, it was already too late. He hurriedly raised his Star Blade, attempting to block the fatal blow. However, the Ice Sword's power far exceeded his imagination. The icy sword energy surged like a tide, easily breaking through his defenses. Lin Feng felt a bone-chilling chill run through his body, and he was uncontrollably sent flying. He left a long trail in the air, and the air around it froze, forming a layer of frost. Lin Feng's body flew two or three miles like a cannonball, finally falling heavily to the ground.

Lin Feng lay quietly on the ground, his body covered in a thin layer of frost, which clung to his skin like a cold coat. In the moonlight, the frost shone with an eerie and cold light, as if telling of the cruelty of the fierce battle that had just taken place.

Suddenly, Lin Feng felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his chest, and he coughed violently, his cough echoing through the silent night air. Then, a mouthful of icy blood clumps erupted from his mouth, shattering on the ground and sending up a splatter of blood. The shocking blood clot clearly indicated that Lin Feng had been seriously injured. His face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Lin Feng frowned, gritted his teeth, and thought to himself, "This Jian Cang's swordsmanship is truly formidable." He braced himself on the ground with both hands, each movement seeming laborious, as if an invisible mountain were bearing down on him. Yet, his eyes burned with an unyielding fire, a stubborn determination that would never yield to fate.

He had only one belief in his heart, and that was to defeat Jian Cang. Finally, he stood up shakily, his voice hoarse but firm: "The Eighth Elder of Xinghai Peak is indeed powerful. It seems that I can only give it my all."

After saying this, Lin Feng took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently. He began to mobilize the power of the surrounding heaven and earth. The mysterious force seemed to be summoned by him and flowed into his body. He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the trajectory of the power flowing through his body with his heart.

A faint light began to flicker around his body, as bright as the stars. He slowly channeled this gathered power of heaven and earth into the Star Blade in his hand. The blade, resembling a Tang Dynasty sword, seemed to be imbued with life as it absorbed the power of heaven and earth. Suddenly, it released a large spherical barrier, crystal clear and radiating a mysterious aura.

Lin Feng's eyes became extremely sharp, his gaze fixed on Jian Cang. He rushed towards Jian Cang at top speed, his figure like a ghost, leaving a blurry trail in the air. Jian Cang looked at Lin Feng, who had just fallen to the ground and now stood up and rushed towards him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He frowned slightly, secretly sighing in his heart, "General Lin's strength is indeed formidable." In Jian Cang's eyes, Lin Feng fell to the ground, stood up, and rushed towards him like lightning. All this happened in just two breaths. He had not expected Lin Feng to be able to recover his fighting ability so quickly, which gave him a new understanding of Lin Feng's strength.

At the same time, Lin Feng's strength was also recognized by Jian Cang. Jian Cang took a deep breath and raised the sword in his hand. The sword gleamed coldly in the moonlight. He rushed towards Lin Feng, his figure like a ghost, as fast as lightning. However, when Jian Cang stepped into the barrier released by the Star Blade, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He felt a powerful pressure bearing down on him, as if his cultivation were being tightly suppressed by an invisible hand. He could regress to the level of a half-step Grandmaster at any moment. A wave of fear surged in his heart, and he secretly wondered, "What the hell is this thing? How can it have such a strong suppressing force?"

He wanted to retreat, but it was too late. He had already entered the dangerous area and was very close to Lin Feng. He had no choice but to raise his sword and concentrate all his strength on it, forming a solid shield. His face was tense, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Lin Feng showed no mercy. He continuously channeled his inner Qi into the Star Blade, then slashed fiercely. That strike contained all his strength, and a sharp blade of energy shot out from the blade. It was like a roaring dragon, carrying the power to destroy everything.

Jian Cang's sword and Lin Feng's saber energy collided with a deafening roar. Jian Cang felt a powerful force radiating from the sword, propelling his body uncontrollably forward. Blood spurted from his mouth, streaking in an arc through the air. Like a cannonball, his body crashed directly into the distant mountaintop. A resounding "boom" echoed as Lin Feng's saber energy exploded. The resulting smoke and dust filled the air, lingering for a long time.

When Sun An saw Jian Cang being knocked away, his heart suddenly tightened and his face turned pale. He nervously called out, "Elder Jian!"

Then he rushed towards Lin Feng desperately, his eyes were red, and he shouted loudly: "Lin Feng, you dare to hurt the Eighth Elder, I will kill you!" His speed was extremely fast, like a flash of lightning.

However, before he approached Lin Feng, Lin Feng simply turned his head and gave him a cold look. That look seemed to contain endless majesty, and a powerful pressure was released from Lin Feng's body.

Sun An felt an invisible force pressing down on him, and he instantly lost his balance, collapsing to the ground with a thud. Blood streamed from his mouth. Despite his powerful body, he seemed so insignificant in the face of Lin Feng's pressure.

After all, the gap in realm is there. There is an insurmountable gap between the master and the grand master. In the eyes of the grand master, the master is like an ant.

Sun An lay on the ground, his heart filled with anger and resentment. He wanted to get up and attack Lin Feng, but the overwhelming pressure prevented him from moving. He could only utter a few words with difficulty: "Lin Feng, I will kill you!" His eyes were filled with resentment, but more of it was helplessness.

At the spot where Jian Cang had fallen, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated. Jian Cang slowly climbed to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were complex as he looked at the Star Blade in Lin Feng's hand and said slowly, "So this is the long-lost Star Blade, ranked third on the weapon rankings." He was secretly surprised; he had never imagined that Lin Feng possessed such a powerful weapon.
