Chapter 316: Volume-3 Chapter-18!
His voice came not too long after, almost mimicking a scholar with lots of knowledge:
"These dark path cultivators are devious. Their treachery knows no bounds."
He remained silent for a moment and then continued:
"This young cultivator seems to be using the darkness assimilation skill. This skill was developed by a dark path saint realm cultivator in ancient times. Not many people can acquire this skill since it is rare. It seems this youngling has good luck and resources..."
Seeing his senior wasting time by mentioning useless stuff, Lin Feng interjected: "Please get to the point, senior!"
"Uh-yes." Mao Lang hid his agitation under his calm voice and continued:
"As I was saying, this cultivator has good luck and resources, but it looks like his luck has run out."
His voice turned prideful as he continued:
"To run into you, who has the support of someone as resourceful as me, hahaha."
Hearing his boastful laugh, Lin Feng held himself from blurting curses at his respectful senior.
He remained patient, and soon, he got the answer he desired:
"This skill has only one weakness—light! If you can conjure light that can dispel the darkness he's hiding in, this cultivator will be forced out and become vulnerable to damage."
Getting the knowledge of how to deal with this annoying bug, Lin Feng smiled:
"Oh, so that's how it is."
However, before he could take action, Mao Lang's voice warned:
"But be careful; if he can hide in the darkness, then there is a high chance that he can teleport through it as well."
He paused and then added: "And judging by your previous fight with him, it is almost confirmed to be the case."
Lin Feng was reminded of Ye Ming's constant sudden appearances behind him. It was like he could appear out of the darkness.
"So that's how he was doing that." Lin Feng's eyes widened in realization.
Mao Lang also reminded: "It seems he cannot appear beside you because of your killer move. This scarlet circle of lightning chases away the darkness around you, making him unable to appear close to you."
Realizing the danger Ye Ming possessed, Lin Feng felt his body shudder.
He only now realized that if he didn't have his killer move, Ye Ming could have appeared behind him any time while he was busy taking care of those three Emperor realm cultivators.
That could've turned into a serious disaster.
What if he had already become an emperor realm cultivator?
Lin Feng couldn't help but shudder at this thought.
An emperor realm cultivator would have a similar level of attainment in their path.
It was only because Ye Ming was a King realm cultivator that Lin Feng could suppress him; however, if he had already become an emperor realm cultivator before their current encounter, their fight might've ended badly for Lin Feng.
With the emperor realm attainment, Ye Ming would have had killer moves of lethality that would far surpass his current level.
Ye Ming's potential scared Lin Feng, and he instantly decided to take care of him here and now.
I cannot let him grow.
Lin Feng already knew that they were already past the stage of friendship. He knew they were destined to remain enemies.
And if that was the case, wouldn't it be better to get rid of this dangerous enemy?
If Ye Ming were to reach his full potential, Lin Feng might die by his hands in the future.
While he was busy making up his mind to get rid of Ye Ming, Mao Lang mentioned another fact:
"Brat, if this array wasn't around us, this cultivator could've teleported away without any problem. You need to get rid of him here; otherwise, he might become a headache to kill in the future."
Lin Feng wholeheartedly agreed with his senior.
Mao Lang then reminded:
"But be careful, this cultivator can still teleport anywhere on this island till he remains inside this blocking array."
"I understand," Lin Feng said before getting ready to take care of Ye Ming.
Ye Ming would have teleported away already if he had known that Lin Feng was aware of his weakness.
However, he remained at the same spot, expecting Lin Feng to strike at the ground in a vain attempt to find out about how to deal with him.
Ye Ming was confident that it would take Lin Feng a long while before finding his weakness and the way to deal with him.
Also, there was another reason for him staying instead of running away.
And that reason was the Dragon Emperor.
Since Ashen's grandfather was coming, he knew that even if he were to escape from Lin Feng, the dragon emperor would still kill him for running away and letting his grandson die.
Atleast Lin Feng didn't know how to deal with him, right?
And by some miracle, he might survive till the dragon emperor arrives.
After that, he can return home and never see Lin Feng or the ninth prince.
However, as if someone didn't want him to be happy, Mao Lang had already informed him of the method of dealing with him.
And Lin Feng wasn't one to waste a surprise attack.
Knowing that this might be his only chance to strike down Ye Ming in one strike through surprise, Lin Feng wanted to make sure that this chance didn't go to waste.
He wasn't in a hurry as he activated his sight skill that allowed him to see through bursts of light.
However, Ye Ming wasn't aware of Lin Feng's upcoming attack. He predicted him to strike at the ground with whips fruitlessly.
It all happened in an instant. Lin Feng performed his attack at the maximum speed that his current level of strength allowed.
He swung his hands to join together in a thunderclap, repeating the same attack that had reaped the lives of the three emperor realm cultivators.
Instantly, a burst of scarlet light enveloped the area. Originating from the exact center of the scarlet circle, it was bright—almost too bright.
However, Lin Feng could see through the blinding light perfectly thanks to his sight skill.
It was then that he saw a figure getting thrown out of the ground as the light chased away the darkness he was hiding in.
He knew that he had to strike fast.
