Chapter 1275 - 1274: Do You Still Want to Fight?
The giant serpent's illusory shadow coiled around Lin Fei's body, letting out a roar like rolling thunder.
Needless to say, the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip housed the beast soul of a thousand-year black serpent.
Though the serpent beast soul was not its true body, only a beast soul, it was ferocious and violent, not the slightest bit weaker than a real giant serpent.
Its head was as large as a millstone, pitch-black and glossy, with two silver serpent pupils. Its bloody maw yawned open, baring ferocious fangs; a red tongue flicked in and out, hissing sharply, a sound that chilled the heart.
All the cultivators on the surrounding peaks were greatly alarmed; they could all feel the terrifying aura of this serpent beast soul.
Those with weaker cultivation were already pale with fright.
On the Heaven-Stealing Peak platform, Qiu Qiming, Yuan Yuxi, Qin Zimo and the others were even more worried for Lin Fei's safety.
"Roar!~~~" The black serpent with its bloody maw agape and fangs bared spewed a blast of white vapor at Lin Fei.
Immediately after, the serpent lunged with its bloody maw toward Lin Fei.
Just as the bloody maw was about to devour Lin Fei, at that moment, Lin Fei—whose body was bound by the serpent's thick length (the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip)—remained calm and unhurried, and a sharp light flashed through his eyes.
Then, a blazing radiance of Saint Qi erupted from Lin Fei's body.
With a thunderous boom, the air suddenly quaked, and a powerful, shocking force burst forth.
The serpent beast soul coiled around Lin Fei's body was shaken loose in an instant.
As the serpent's bloody maw swooped down, Lin Fei had already broken free of its coils and shot away.
The serpent's bloody maw snapped down on empty air instead, spewing white mist that spread out into a haze in midair.
The serpent beast soul's body churned and rolled within the white mist, its head half-submerged in the fog, silver pupils locked firmly on Lin Fei, as if ready to launch another attack at any moment.
Lin Fei had already flown to a spot ten meters away from the serpent, standing proudly in midair, exuding a free and unrestrained bearing.
Wan Guohai's eyes burned with furious flames: Lin Fei had actually broken out from the serpent's coils; even the thousand-year black serpent beast soul could not bind him?
This left Wan Guohai secretly astounded beyond words; he finally understood why Lin Fei had said earlier that he could not be captured.
The Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip truly could not hold Lin Fei.
The reason Lin Fei could break free from the serpent's coils was that he had unleashed that mysterious power.
Ever since entering the Holy Dragon Continent, through battle after battle, Lin Fei had discovered that his mysterious power seemed to grow stronger with every fight.
As for what exact level this mysterious power had reached, even Lin Fei himself could not say for sure.
But he was certain that, facing this serpent beast soul and Wan Guohai with Ninth Layer Saint Sect strength, he felt hardly any pressure.
This was why Lin Fei had remained unafraid even when bound by the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip.
"Beast soul, attack!" Wan Guohai once again gave a command from the platform.
"Roar!~~~" Within the white mist, the thousand-year serpent beast soul once more opened its bloody maw, roaring and spewing out billowing white vapor.
In an instant, white mist rolled through the sky like clouds, surging and seething.
The thousand-year serpent soul shot out from within the mist, bloody maw lunging at Lin Fei once again.
Facing the descending attack of the thousand-year serpent soul, Lin Fei did not panic. He slowly raised his hand, activating his mysterious power along with his War Soul power.
Although his War Soul power came from the wondrous force within Tie Muzhen's War God Blade—perhaps that War God Blade, in terms of grade, was merely a Divine Weapon of the Martial Arts World, inferior to the Saint Magical Artifacts of the Saint-level world—the War Soul power hidden within the War God Blade far surpassed the scope of the Martial Arts World, and was an extremely formidable might even in the Saint-level world.
Especially when it came to controlling an enemy's Magical Artifacts and weapons, it possessed tremendous dominance. And at the end of the day, this thousand-year serpent soul was still a beast soul attached to the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip, which meant it could be restrained by War Soul power.
Lin Fei's mysterious power, on the other hand, could be used to suppress the thousand-year serpent soul.
As the mysterious power and War Soul power emerged upon Lin Fei's palm, a vast and terrifying pressure immediately descended between heaven and earth.
With Lin Fei's raised hand, his palm blasted toward the onrushing thousand-year serpent soul. The air violently shook as the mysterious power and War Soul power surged forth, rapidly condensing into a gigantic palm-shaped phantom.
This palm phantom, several meters across, though illusory, tore through the air with a mountain-crushing might, bearing down straight on the thousand-year serpent soul at a speed that left the eye unable to follow.
In just the span of a single breath, the several-meter-wide palm phantom that shattered the air clamped down on the serpent soul's seven-inch point.
The serpent soul, its bloody maw wide open, let out shrill, miserable screams one after another, but no matter what it did, it could not break free from the grip of that giant hand.
Its body lashed violently, stirring wind and cloud for ten thousand li.
Everyone was shocked yet again. They had never imagined that the thousand-year serpent soul on Wan Guohai's Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip would be seized by a giant hand condensed from Lin Fei's power, pinned by its seven-inch point, unable to escape.
This left everyone utterly dumbfounded. They had originally thought that once Wan Guohai unleashed Ten Thousand Swords City's number one Saint Magical Artifact, the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip, he would be able to defeat Lin Fei.
Yet the result was that Lin Fei not only repeatedly broke free of the thousand-year serpent soul's coils, he even suppressed the serpent soul. The situation had completely reversed, turning more and more in Lin Fei's favor, and more and more against Wan Guohai.
In their hearts, they could not help but secretly wonder: could City Lord Wan Guohai actually be about to lose?
This also caused Qiu Qiming, Yuan Yuxi, Qin Zimo and the others on the platform to be greatly heartened, joy surging within them: Lin Fei had finally begun his counterattack!
In midair, as the thousand-year serpent soul remained clutched by the giant hand for longer and longer, its spectral light grew weaker and weaker, as if it might vanish at any moment.
This left Wan Guohai on the platform in a complete panic. The Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip was his final card against Lin Fei, and also his most powerful trump weapon.
If he could not defeat Lin Fei with it, then his defeat was certain.
Thus Wan Guohai hurriedly circulated all his cultivation to drive the thousand-year serpent soul in the air, trying to break free of that enormous palm phantom.
Yet even though Wan Guohai poured out all his power, consuming it so greatly that sweat streamed down his forehead, the thousand-year serpent soul in the sky still could not break free of that giant hand.
Moreover, the serpent soul's radiance had already faded to the point of near transparency.
Soon, the thousand-year serpent soul dissipated in midair.
Only the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip remained in the sky.
Under the control of Lin Fei's War Soul power, the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip immediately flew into Lin Fei's hand.
From that moment on, Lin Fei became the master of the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip.
Seeing this, Wan Guohai staggered, almost pitching headfirst to the ground. Though he managed to steady himself, his cultivation had been greatly depleted, and on top of witnessing his Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip seized by Lin Fei, the shock was too great. With a wet splutter, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
In the air, Lin Fei stood tall and imposing, gripping the Nine-Bell Soul-Seizing Whip as he looked down at Wan Guohai on the platform below, saying, "City Lord Wan, you've already lost. Do you still want to fight?"
Although Wan Guohai knew he was no longer possibly Lin Fei's match, his heart was filled with boundless unwillingness. To be defeated like this and publicly admit his loss was more painful than death.
"Lin Fei, I'm going to kill you!" Wan Guohai, his hair bristling with rage, dark red robes flaring, actually disregarded life and death and launched a frenzied attack toward Lin Fei in midair.
