Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Abyssal Chain Asura, Ye Mo (2)

The forest trembled.

A suffocating wave of pressure rolled out from Ye Mo’s transformed body, pressing down on everything like a collapsing sky.

And feeling that pressure, Li Feng raised an eyebrow.

“Transformation, huh…?”

Ye Mo chuckled, voice resonating like metal grinding metal.

“Yes, it is my cultivation technique…”

He raised his hand.

Clink…

Clink…

Clink…

Every chain on his body shook, glowing red-hot as if it were burning from the inside.

“Abyssal Chain.”

The moment he spoke, a crushing pressure blasted out from Ye Mo.

The air thickened with dark-red, metallic qi, heavy enough to make the ground hum.

Ning Jianli and the other female disciples instantly went pale.

The killing intent pouring out of him wasn’t just pressure…it was the kind of aura that made your lungs tighten.

And Ning Jianli felt it the strongest.

It pressed against her chest until breathing became difficult.

And a cold realization crept through her.

’Was he holding back when he fought us…?’

She remembered he hadn’t been this oppressive when Ye Mo faced her.

“Senior Brother Li…” she murmured, eyes fixed on Li Feng back as he stood in front of them, shielding them from the storm of menacing qi.

Even Old Han, who was already far away, slowly wiped the sweat running down his neck.

A shiver ran up his spine as he stared at the violent surge of qi flooding the area.

’I-Is he really only at the Qi Refinement stage ?’ he swallowed hard, unable to tear his eyes away from the storm of power Ye Mo was unleashing.

Suddenly, the ground cracked as Ye Mo bent forward, coiling like a beast ready to pounce.

FWOOM!

He vanished.

The next second—

CLANG!

A massive chain, wreathed in dark red flame, slammed toward Li Feng like a giant whip.

Li Feng’s eyes narrowed, his body shifting by barely an inch.

Whoosh!

BOOOM!

The chain missed him by a hair’s breadth, but the wind pressure alone carved a deep trench where he had stood.

“So fast….” Li Feng muttered, a hint of admiration in his voice.

Suddenly, a massive figure appeared behind him like a dark blur.

Ye Mo’s voice echoed.

“It’s just the beginning!”

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG!

Three chains shot from different directions—left, right, and around….closing in like a steel web.

CLANG!!!

Li Feng looked down to see his body coiled tightly by the chains.

Shua—!

Dark red flames suddenly burst from the chains, searing his flesh.

Li Feng frowned at the sensation, as if some corrosive force was trying to melt his skin but then—

WHOOSH!

Ye Mo yanked the chains wrapping Li Feng and swung him through the air like a ball before slamming him down.

BOOOM!

Li Feng’s body slammed into the ground, sending debris flying in all directions.

Ye Mo grinned, knowing it still wasn’t enough.

CLING!

With another pull, he swung Li Feng through the air, smashing him against trees and boulders, destroying everything in his path.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

“HAHAHAHA!”

Ye Mo’s laughter echoed through the forest.

Each violent swing sent shockwaves outward, tearing up trees, smashing boulders, and turning the dense forest into a wasteland.

Li Feng’s body became a blur, dragged relentlessly through the destruction.

BOOM!

CRACK!

GRAAAH!

Even the mountainside trembled with each impact.

Ning Jianli and the other female disciples had already retreated to a safe distance, but now their faces turned pale as sheets as they took in the scene of devastation.

To them, it looked like Li Feng was losing.

“Senior Brother….!” Ning Jianli shouted, her throat tightening with worry.

Suddenly,

The scorched chains coiling around Li Feng flared brighter, dark red flames bursting outward like molten lava.

And Ye Mo grinned wildly as he swung Li Feng’s body overhead one final time—

“BREAK !” he roared, hurling Li Feng into the ground with enough force to crush a small hill.

BOOOOOOM!!!

A deafening explosion ripped through the area, sending dust and shockwaves blasting outward in all directions.

The shock hit Ning Jianli and the other girls like a hurricane.

They raised their arms to shield their faces as a wave of heat swept over them, scorching the air around their skin.

When the dust settled, they stared at the clouded battlefield.

Smoke and the smell of scorched earth lingered, and worry was written across their faces.

As the smoke finally cleared…

A massive crater gaped where Li Feng had been slammed.

Red-hot cracks ran across its center, and steam rose like a boiling cauldron.

Ye Mo exhaled heavily, exhilaration trembling through his monstrous frame.

“…Hah….hah….That should hurt even someone like you.”

He wiped the blood from his lips.

“But this…. this is exactly why I’m so thrilled !”

He shouted, his arm muscles bulging as he raised them.

The chains rattled violently, every link shaking like a living beast.

They shot upward like spears and drove deep into the molten crater.

Ye Mo grinned.

“Let’s drag you out…. ”

He pulled—

CLINK—!

CLINK—!

CLINK—!

The chains surged upward, lifting Li Feng’s bound body from the molten earth.

But the moment the figure emerged…

Ye Mo’s grin slowly stiffened.

Smoke can be seen curled off Li Feng’s skin.

His lower robe were tattered and dirt smeared across his face….but his body?

There wasn’t a single injury or bruise….it looked as good as new.

Only a faint reddening appeared on his shoulders, but it vanished in the next instant.

Li Feng just lazily opened one eye and looked at Ye Mo.

Seeing this, Ye Mo didn’t feel frustration.

Instead, he looked even more delighted.

“Good…..GOOD!”

The chains around him writhed suddenly, twisting and sharpening into blades.

He raised both arms and the chain-like tentacles around him also twisted into countless razor-sharp blades.

“Chain Execution!”

WHOOSH!

His arms blurred as the chain blades shot forward.

Countless more followed, moving so fast that the air itself seemed to scream.

SWING!

SWING!

SWING!

Soon, a storm of blades was unleashed with each swing sending arcs of dark red flame cutting through everything.

Trees didn’t just fall as they were completely shredded into splinters.

Boulders split cleanly down the middle and turn into fragment in the next second.

Whole sections of the battlefield were flattened, as if something had cut through them in an instant.

And in the eye of the storm, Li Feng still remained calm.

SWING!

Spurt!

His body, still bound by chains and searing with flame, finally showed a tiny wound.

Li Feng glanced at it but it immediately healed, returning to perfect form.

But he couldn’t help but feel mildly impressed.

SWING!

Spurt!

SWING!

Spurt!

Wound and regeneration continued in a cycle as the storm of blades raged around him.

’…This guy’s strength might already rival someone in the early or middle stage of Foundation Establishment,’ Li Feng thought.

’And he’s only in the 9th Realm of Qi Refinement…’

By his instinct alone, he could tell Ye Mo was probably one of the strongest among all the disciples in this realm.

Then, as a chain blade grazed his cheek, Li Feng calmly met Ye Mo’s gaze.

’Too bad….he met me.’

A small amused smile slowly crossed his face.

’But I’m also glad I found him first….otherwise, who knows how many beautiful fairies would have been ruined.’

Ye Mo noticed Li Feng’s nonchalance and sensed something was wrong.

Gritting his teeth, he exerted more strength, turning the storm of blades into a full tempest.

WOOOOSH!

Another chain-blade sliced past Li Feng’s cheek, carving a long, bottomless scar into the earth behind him.

Thinking he’d seen enough, Li Feng finally moved.

Not hurried.

Just one calm step, like someone strolling across a courtyard….right in the middle of the storm of blades.

SWING!

At that moment,

A chain-blade slash toward him from the side.

Li Feng simply tilted his head and opened his mouth.

TING!

The entire chain shuddered violently as he bit down on the blade, stopping it dead in its path.

Ye Mo froze mid-swing.

“…What?”

He stared dumbfounded.

His chain-blade, forged in spirit fire and treasure steel, actually had been stopped by a human bite.

The sight was so incomprehensible that he paused all of his attacks.

Li Feng simply pushed with his jaw—

CRACK.

The burning blade snapped in two, breaking like a stale biscuit.

“Phew—”

Li Feng spat out the fragments to the side and smiled coldly at Ye Mo.

“Are you done? …Then it’s my turn.”

Ye Mo’s pupils shrank.

“You—”

Before he could finish,

CRACK.

CRACK.

The chains coiling around Li Feng exploded outward, revealing his bulging muscles, each one radiating a crushing pressure.

Then—

Li Feng vanished.

Ye Mo’s instincts screamed.

He twisted his arm, raising all chains around himself like a cocoon—but he was too slow.

Li Feng appeared in front of him, expression cold, fist raised.

This time, Ye Mo knew….Li Feng was serious.

B O O M —!!!

The punch slammed square into Ye Mo’s abdomen.

The chains dented like crushed metal drums.

Ye Mo’s massive frame bent in half as the shockwave blasted outward.

“ACKK-!”

Ye Mo spat out a mouthful of blood as a column of dust and earth around him blasted into the sky like a volcanic eruption.

Then—

His body was sent flying, skidding across the ground like a hurled boulder.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!!

Each hit tore up the ground and sent powerful shockwaves shaking the earth.

Finally—

CRAAASH!!!

Li Feng slowly retracted his hand, rolling his shoulder as if nothing had happened.

His muscles glimmered powerfully in the fading light.

“That should do it. ” he said with a smile.

…Then a sudden breeze brushed past him from below,

“…Hmm?”

He looked down curiously and… saw his little brother hanging in midair.

Right now, he was completely naked.
