Chapter 414: Stunning Skills

Chapter 414 A Skill That Amazed Everyone

Lin Fei's mind was not broken, of course. He knew that saying such things to a Celestial Master was extremely dangerous.

However, Lin Fei had already made up his mind. If he was going to retaliate, he wanted to make a name for himself. He would take this opportunity to demonstrate his abilities in front of so many Grandmasters, so as not to be looked down upon by them again in the future.

Upon hearing Lin Fei's words, Zhuo Bufan was first taken aback, then flew into a rage—a Celestial Master was one of the most outstanding beings in the world. Since the Middle Ages, countless years had passed without a powerful being at the Earth Immortal level. Even the Hidden Sword Elder, who was hailed as the number one in the world, was only at the Celestial level and had not broken through to the Earth Immortal realm.

The Celestial Masters are already among the most elite beings in the world. Aside from other Grandmasters at the Celestial level, when have these people ever taken anyone else seriously? Let alone been subjected to such a rebuttal.

It's likely that no one has ever spoken to Zhuo Bufan in such a tone since he ascended to the Celestial Realm. This enraged Zhuo Bufan.

"What a sharp-tongued brat!" Zhuo Bufan stared at Lin Fei with a dark expression, like a volcano about to erupt. "I misjudged you. The Jade Emperor Sect, a dignified and orthodox sect of Taoism, naturally cannot tolerate someone like you. No wonder you were expelled from the sect by Brother Yongcheng!"

Seeing the atmosphere between the two gradually becoming tense, everyone else was watching with amusement. Only Master Yongcheng said to Zhuo Bufan, "Brother Zhuo, why are you so angry? It's perfectly normal for young people to be hot-blooded. Why should you lower yourself to the level of a junior?"

Lin Fei was well aware of Yongcheng Zhenren's protective intentions. However, he had no intention of simply accepting the title of "junior." He, too, intended to enter the ancient Heavenly Court ruins and make these arrogant Celestial Masters take him seriously.

Otherwise, given their personalities, they might exclude Lin Fei. Those forces without a Celestial Grandmaster in charge wouldn't even qualify to participate in this conference or enter the ancient Heavenly Court ruins. Lin Fei, however, didn't want to repeat that mistake.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master." Lin Fei first thanked Master Yongcheng to show that he appreciated his kindness, and then said to Zhuo Bufan, "However, what I said is the truth. Sect Master Zhuo's eyesight is not good. Going to this Heavenly Court ruins would probably be a waste of his life. I was just trying to be helpful."

Lin Fei no longer refers to himself as a "junior," indicating that he is on the same level as these Celestial Masters and is not inferior to them.

At this point, these Celestial Masters understood that Lin Fei wasn't a dim-witted fool, but rather someone who wanted to use this opportunity to place himself on the same level as the other masters, so as not to be looked down upon by others.

"He is indeed an ambitious young man, but I wonder if he has the ability to support such ambition." The gazes of the Celestial Masters towards Lin Fei gradually changed, no longer showing the same contempt as before.

Even Master Yongcheng looked at Lin Fei thoughtfully, nodded slightly to him, and then stepped aside, no longer paying attention to the matter between Lin Fei and Zhuo Bufan.

Lin Fei's ambitions naturally did not escape the eyes of these old foxes, but without sufficient ability, Lin Fei's actions would be tantamount to courting death.

Everyone wanted to see what Lin Fei's abilities were that allowed him to contend with a Celestial Master.

……

Zhuo Bufan sneered, "What a sharp-tongued brat! What are you, a mere mortal emperor, compared to this? In my opinion, you have no need to participate in this conference. You should just go back to Southern Tang!"

Lin Fei smiled slightly and said, "This conference was invited to me by the Venerable Monk of Leiyin Temple. I'm afraid Sect Leader Zhuo is not qualified to let me leave, is he? Or is it that Sect Leader Zhuo has already pledged allegiance to Leiyin Temple and become a monk there, and can speak on behalf of Leiyin Temple?"

Zhuo Bufan's eyes twitched, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in them—Zhuo Bufan was truly enraged and could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

"Good lad, I'll give you a chance to take back what you just said," Zhuo Bufan said coldly. "Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Having come this far, Lin Fei naturally wouldn't back down. He simply said, "I'd also like to experience Sect Master Zhuo's world-renowned 'Thirty-Two Divine Swords That Shatter the World'!"

"Why would I need to use the Thirty-Two Divine Swords that Shatter All Under Heaven to deal with a mere junior like you?" Zhuo Bufan sneered. "Don't think that just because you're ranked first on the Tiger List, you can truly challenge a Celestial Master. Today, I'll show you the difference between the Dharma Aspect Realm and a Celestial Master!"

As he spoke, Zhuo Bufan unleashed his true energy, forming invisible sword energies that filled the surrounding space.

A Grandmaster at the Celestial Realm is truly incomparable to someone at the Dharma Aspect Realm. Zhuo Bufan didn't use his true strength; he didn't even intend to use his world-renowned Thirty-Two Divine Swords that could shatter the world. In the blink of an eye, the sharp, invisible sword energy had already filled the surroundings.

Among the four great sword sects in the world, the Peerless Sword Sect is one of them, so Zhuo Bufan is certainly no ordinary person. Although he cannot be compared with the Hidden Sword Elder, who is the number one swordsman of the era, Zhuo Bufan is definitely not weak among all the grandmasters in the world.

"I heard that you somehow resurrected the ancient sage Yuan Tiangang," Zhuo Bufan said to Lin Fei. "Then summon that ancient sage, or I can take your life with a flick of my finger!"

The fact that Lin Fei resurrected the ancient sage Yuan Tiangang has been clearly recorded on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. Naturally, it could not be hidden from the ears of others.

Not only Zhuo Bufan, but everyone else present had the same idea—the reason why Lin Fei dared to challenge the Celestial Master was simply because of the resurrected ancient sages.

"I'm afraid it won't be so easy for Sect Master Zhuo to take my life." Lin Fei did not intend to summon the Heavenly Dao Ghost General Yuan Tiangang. As a Heavenly Dao Ghost General, Yuan Tiangang's strength was not as great as it was in life. As one of Lin Fei's trump cards, Lin Fei did not want to expose Yuan Tiangang's strength to so many people.

A flash of golden light appeared on Lin Fei's body, and a powerful aura instantly enveloped the surroundings. Even compared to Zhuo Bufan's incomparably sharp, invisible sword energy, it was probably not much weaker.

"Primordial Spirit Domain? This kid has already advanced to the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm?"

"Such a fast cultivation speed! On the Tiger Ranking, isn't this kid only at the second level of the Dharma Aspect Realm?"

"His primordial spirit domain is so powerful, far surpassing the ordinary third level of the Dharma Aspect realm. No wonder he dared to challenge Zhuo Bufan!"

……

Lin Fei's display of his primordial spirit domain surprised the celestial beings watching from the sidelines.
