Chapter 402 One Against Three
The first four people to arrive at the location of the True Martial Emperor's stone coffin were Lin Fei, Xuan Kong, the head of Leiyin Temple, Qin Zhongshan of the Eight Evil Paths, and Yuan Zhen, the abbot of the Jade Emperor Sect.
The four people stood in a quadrilateral, maintaining a safe distance from each other. At the same time, they were all on guard against the possibility of someone else suddenly attacking or harming them.
The atmosphere in the arena became tense, with a hint of tension. Any attempt to make a move could easily escalate into a chaotic brawl.
Aside from Lin Fei, who was confident he could defeat the three in front of him, the other three dared not make any rash moves, fearing they might attract a joint attack from others.
The relationship between Lin Fei and these three people is also quite delicate.
Qin Zhongshan, needless to say, has always regarded Lin Fei as his enemy and harbors great hatred towards him.
Yuanzhen had disliked Lin Fei ever since Lin Fei was a novice disciple at the Jade Emperor Sect, and had made things difficult for him on many occasions. Later, when Lin Fei was expelled from the sect, Yuanzhen even took the initiative to go down the mountain to capture him.
Although the monk Xuankong of Leiyin Temple had no personal grudge against Lin Fei, he considered Lin Fei his number one rival in the quest for the treasure after Lin Fei defeated the abbots of Leiyin Temple with Buddhist martial arts.
If Lin Fei is not careful, he could very well face a situation where he is attacked from all three sides.
……
The first to break the tense atmosphere was the monk Xuankong from Leiyin Temple. He addressed the other three, saying, "Three benefactors, there are only the four of us here now. If we wait any longer, the others will likely arrive soon. In my humble opinion, we should make a decision as soon as possible and decide who owns the treasure. What do you three think?"
Monk Xuankong's words resonated with the others. The four of them were the first to arrive. However, as time passed, it was inevitable that others would follow.
Now, each of the four of them still has a one-in-four chance of obtaining the treasure. If more people arrive, their chances of getting the treasure will likely decrease significantly.
As for the previous agreement to handle the treasure together, it had long been forgotten.
Yuanzhen said coldly, "Master is right, but there is only one treasure, and there are four of us. Who should go up the mountain to retrieve it?"
Qin Zhongshan touched the Demon Emperor's Claw on his hand and sneered, "Whoever has the ability can go and take it; those who don't should get lost. Otherwise, they'll become the victims of my claws!"
As he spoke, Qin Zhongshan's gaze shifted to Lin Fei: "Li, I suffered quite a few losses at your hands back then, and now I have also broken through to the Dharma Aspect stage. I'm just curious to see if your ascension to the heavens is really as powerful as the legends say!"
Although Qin Zhongshan had also advanced to the Dharma Aspect realm, he did not achieve it in one step. Instead, he used the Three-Part Return to Origin method to achieve the Dharma Aspect.
Qin Zhongshan himself was extremely arrogant. Even though he had achieved the Dharma Body through the Threefold Return to Origin, he didn't believe he was weaker than someone like Lin Fei, who had achieved the Dharma Body in one leap. He wanted to get revenge on Lin Fei for what happened back then, and this was the perfect opportunity.
Seeing that Qin Zhongshan was the first to intend to attack Lin Fei, Yuanzhen, standing to the side, also sneered: "Mingxin, when you were expelled from the sect, I spared your life because of the sect leader's orders. Now that you still want to obtain the treasure, I won't tolerate you! If you leave now, I'll let you go for your master's sake, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!"
It's a classic case of "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down; when the drum is broken, everyone beats it." Seeing that Qin Zhongshan was about to make the first move against Lin Fei, Yuanzhen wasn't going to be left behind and immediately turned her attention to Lin Fei.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. If they join forces to eliminate a competitor first, their chances of obtaining the treasure will increase significantly.
And without a doubt, in the eyes of these two, the first competitor to be eliminated was Lin Fei.
Xuan Kong, however, did not attack Lin Fei at this moment. Instead, he asked Lin Fei, "Two against one is rather unbecoming of a great man. Benefactor Li, do you need this humble monk's assistance? As long as..."
Before the monk could finish speaking, Lin Fei burst into laughter: "Why bother with all that? The three of you come at me together, what do I have to fear?"
Although Monk Xuankong hadn't finished speaking, Lin Fei already guessed what he was going to say. He was simply trying to curry favor with Lin Fei, seeing that Lin Fei was about to be attacked from both sides and in danger. As for his request, Lin Fei had already guessed it: he would help Lin Fei deal with the other two, and in return, Lin Fei would give him the treasures on the mountain.
This monk Xuan Kong had quite a plan. If he joined forces with the other two to attack Lin Fei, a fierce battle would inevitably ensue among the three after defeating him. However, if he helped Lin Fei in exchange for him handing over the treasure, it would be much simpler.
In Xuan Kong's view, Lin Fei is in a difficult situation now, and the smartest way is undoubtedly to cooperate with him and deal with the other two first.
However, he underestimated Lin Fei's abilities and confidence. Not to mention two people joining forces, even three people would not faze Lin Fei. In any case, if he wanted to obtain the treasure, he would defeat all his competitors. Whether it was two or three, with Lin Fei's current cultivation level, he would not be afraid unless a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm personally came.
Seeing Lin Fei refuse Monk Xuankong, Yuanzhen sneered smugly: "Master Xuankong, this boy was an unruly person when he was on Jade Emperor Mountain. Why bother wasting your breath on him? Why don't the three of us join forces and deal with him first!"
The monk Xuan Kong clasped his hands together, sighed softly, and said, "Amitabha, since Benefactor Li is so determined, then this humble monk cannot be blamed!"
As they spoke, the three of them had already formed a pincer movement, surrounding Lin Fei in the middle.
Xuan Kong, the head of the Bodhidharma Hall at Leiyin Temple, and Yuan Zhen, the abbot of the Xingzhi Temple at the Jade Emperor Sect, are both renowned masters who have long been famous throughout the land. Even a rising star like Qin Zhongshan, because of the existence of the Demon Emperor's Claw, is not someone anyone dares to underestimate.
In the eyes of the three, although Lin Fei was somewhat capable, it would not be difficult for them to take him down if they joined forces.
Lin Fei chuckled lightly, flipped his hand and took out the Xuanyuan Sword, holding it in his hand. At the same time, golden light emanated from his body: "Since the three of you are courting death, then I will send you on your way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange power quietly spread across the area—it was Lin Fei's unique primordial spirit domain, the Heavenly Dao Primordial Spirit Domain.
Lin Fei was about to unleash his full power, taking on three opponents single-handedly and killing them all on this spot!
