Mo Yao was completely unaware of the attack heading her way.
However, Ling Feng was ready to intervene at any moment.
The man in the green obe, infuriated and humiliated, couldn't accept that he, a genius student of Zhenlong Academy, had been defeated by a mere wandering cultivator from a hunting team.
He considered himself a lofty genius, while Mo Yao and her people were nothing but lowly ants.
Even if he had been defeated by students from Tianwei Academy, he wouldn't have been this angry. In his rage, he unleashed the Bone-Piercing Needle, a hidden weapon, intending to kill Mo Yao.
"Captain, be careful!"
Cursing under his breath, Ling Feng flashed forward with his Boundless Sword Steps. He pushed Mo Yao towards her companions while reaching out to catch the Bone-Piercing Needle.
However, the Bone-Piercing Needle seemed to possess the ability to penetrate true qi, completely ignoring Ling Feng's qi defenses and piercing his palm.
Instantly, Ling Feng's right hand turned pitch black, a sign of severe poisoning.
The man in the green robe sneered, unable to believe Ling Feng was foolish enough to catch his Bone-Piercing Needle barehanded. "Idiot! How dare you try to catch my Bone-Piercing Needle with your bare hands? Don't you know that once this needle is launched, it can pierce through even the elemental qi shield of a Spiritual Element Realm expert?
"Heh, the poison on this Bone-Piercing Needle will turn you into a pool of blood within seven minutes! Kid, you're dead!"
Ling Feng smirked, showing no signs of panic.
A Bone-Piercing Needle?
Indeed, he had been hit and poisoned by the Bone-Piercing Needle, but it was only for a moment.
Ling Feng's physique had long been immune to all poisons. While the poison of the Bone-Piercing Needle affected him briefly, it was swiftly neutralized.
Gu Tengfeng and the others turned pale. They had all heard about the fearsome power of the Bone-Piercing Needle. Even though Gu Tengfeng knew of Ling Feng's exceptional medical skills, seeing his hand turn pitch black still shocked him.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Ling Feng responded with a faint smile. The blackness on his palm dissipated rapidly before their eyes.
"H-How is this possible?" The man in the green robe was stunned, his eyes twitching uncontrollably. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
To be hit by the Bone-Piercing Needle's poison and remain unharmed? What kind of monster is this guy?
"Nothing is impossible!"
Ling Feng struck out with his palm, and with a burst of true qi, a needle as thin as a cow's hair shot out from his palm. It flew straight into the man's dantian Qihai acupoint with a bang.
The man screamed as his dantian was shattered by Ling Feng's strike, rendering him a complete cripple.
Since he had called others trash, he would now taste the bitter reality of being a useless person for the rest of his life!
In fact, if Ling Feng hadn't already neutralized the poison on the Bone-Piercing Needle, the man in the green robe might have died from his own poison.
"Bastard! You damned bastard! I'll kill you!"
The man clutched his abdomen, shouting in fury as his body trembled uncontrollably. He could feel his true qi leaking away. Soon, he would be a cripple, someone even worse than an ordinary mortal.
Lin Xian'er and the others laughed heartily, seeing that Ling Feng was unharmed while the man in the green robe suffered from his own malicious intent.
"Junior Brother Huang!"
The students from Zhenlong Academy sighed helplessly when they saw Huang Shaoan's dantian destroyed. None of them could do anything to save him from such a grievous injury.
Huang Shaoan was destined to become a cripple.
"Impressive technique!" Ye Fan clenched his fists, his gaze growing colder. It wasn't that he was angry for Huang Shaoan's sake, but that Ling Feng's strength made him wary.
The poison of the Bone-Piercing Needle was something that even he feared, yet Ling Feng had completely ignored its effects and neutralized it instantly.
This ability alone made Ye Fan regard Ling Feng with newfound respect.
"You're Ling Feng, right?" Ye Fan looked at Ling Feng and said calmly, "If you leave one Blue Moon Vermilion Fruit for yourself and hand over the rest, we can pretend none of this happened. Otherwise..."
Before Ye Fan could finish, Ling Feng sneered. "Sorry, but I don't have the habit of giving away what's in my possession."
Ling Feng lazily held the Eradicator of Realms and stood his ground, saying proudly, "If you want it, come and take it yourself."
Gu Tengfeng stepped forward without a word, standing beside Ling Feng. His aura spread out, exerting immense pressure on Ye Fan.
"Very well, you brought this upon yourselves," Ye Fan said with a cruel smile. "Since you don't understand the situation, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
In Ye Fan's mind, even if Gu Tengfeng could hold him off, the remaining people were more than enough to deal with Ling Feng.
As for the others, they were negligible.
After all, Huang Shaoan had been the weakest member of their group.
"Who's to say who will win? Talking big doesn't help," Ling Feng retorted with a raised eyebrow. "That guy just now was a pretty good example."
Ye Fan frowned and nodded coldly to two experts beside him, each with over fifty meridian gates. They moved in a flash, surrounding Ling Feng in a triangular formation.
"Ye Fan, your opponent is me!"
Gu Tengfeng shouted, his long sword sweeping out as he charged at Ye Fan.
Ling Feng, wielding the Eradicator of Realms, faced the other two experts alone. One of them had even reached an astonishing fifty-five meridian gates!
"You cowards, ganging up on one person! Big Brother, I'm coming to help!"
Jiang Xiaofan shouted, drawing his sword and charging forward, but another student from Zhenlong Academy blocked him, forcing him back with a single strike.
"Hmph, you want to die? I can make that happen!" The Zhenlong Academy student sneered, noticing that Jiang Xiaofan was just a yellow-tier student from Tianwei Academy. He couldn't help but mock, "So you're a yellow-tier student from Tianwei Academy? Hahaha, has Tianwei Academy run out of people, sending yellow-tier students on demon-slaying missions? Hahaha..."
Jiang Xiaofan's eyes blazed with fury. He glared at the Zhenlong Academy student, swinging his sword as he charged, shouting, "Onslaught of Endless Falling Leaves!"
This technique was taught and improved by Ling Feng. It was an improved version of the Falling Leaves Sword Art.
"Jiang Xiaofan, I'll help you!"
Lin Xian'er also activated her true qi, drawing on the power of the damaged sacred artifact within her and joining the battle against the Zhenlong Academy students.
