After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 73

Innate Dao Bone?

Lin Feng’s heart chilled instantly.

If he had just been suspicious before, now it was confirmed beyond a doubt.

The wild man before him was indeed Lin Mubai, the one who has Innate Dao Bone!

The comprehension of someone with an Innate Dao Bone was monstrous, and at this moment, he couldn’t help but wonder.

The movement technique Lin Mubai had just used was probably newly learned.

Although Lin Feng didn’t understand why Lin Mubai had previously ignored superior movement techniques, that wasn’t important.

What was important was that after witnessing his own Saber Qi, Lin Mubai had likely fallen into a sudden epiphany of the Way of the Saber!

Lin Feng’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, wanting to ask only one question.

What happened to the refined and elegant Lin Mubai, the graceful gentleman? And everyone agreed on that!

He just didn’t understand. Why is the difference between the rumors and the real people so big?

However, Lin Feng soon calmed down.

Although the Jiuyan Sect had another male madman, it was still acceptable.

After all, his goal was the beautiful master and Senior Sister. A few crazy Senior Brothers were not a big problem.

“Quick, make your move while he’s in sudden epiphany!” Old Man Tianji urged loudly as he saw him in a daze.

Startled, Lin Feng immediately charged with his saber.

Now, relying on his soul power and comprehension of the Way of the Saber, he could barely suppress Lin Mubai.

If he waited for the latter’s epiphany to end, it was uncertain who would fall!

With this thought in mind, he went all out, fully activating the Cloud-Capturing Dragon Movement Technique.

He appeared in front of Lin Mubai in an instant, his eyes filled with ferocity as he swung his saber down.

He thought this strike would surely succeed.

But Lin Mubai, who had seemed dazed just a second ago, suddenly regained clarity.

With the machete in his left hand, he deflected the black saber, and, taking advantage of Lin Feng’s astonishment, Lin Mubai swung his right hand to deliver a horizontal slash!

“!!!”

This scene scared Lin Feng to the core.

It was too late to flee, so he had to summon all his soul power, emerging them from the pores around his neck to form a layer of soul armor covering his neck!

“Clang—”

The machete struck the armor, and the blade kept vibrating more and more intensely.

Although the shock cracked the flesh of his right hand, Lin Mubai still clenched his teeth and concentrated all his vital energy into the machete!

Originally, Old Man Tianji’s soul power provided an extremely strong defense if consolidated. However, although the machete was plain and unadorned, it was still a superior spiritual weapon. Therefore, it continued to advance towards Lin Feng’s neck despite its slow speed.

Such a dangerous situation seemed to give Lin Feng enough time to react.

He activated his movement technique again, preparing to retreat quickly.

Sensing his intention, Lin Mubai increased the strength in his hand, but for the moment, the machete could not penetrate the soul armor, and there was no time to withdraw the saber and strike again.

In just an instant, Lin Mubai made a decision.

Releasing the saber stuck in the soul armor, he swung his bloodied palm towards Lin Feng’s cheek!

“Smack—”

A crisp sound echoed.

At the same time, Lin Feng had escaped several zhang away, but the imprint of the slap on his cheek left him stunned in place.

He, Lin Feng… The Son of Destiny…

Had actually been slapped?!

Lin Feng’s expression began to contort.

Just as he was about to charge again and fight Lin Mubai to the death, Lin Mubai kept swinging his machete in the distance, creating several Saber Qi that swiftly approached Lin Feng.

“Swish swish!”

Lin Feng gritted his teeth while dodging with his movement technique.

He was unwilling!

At this moment, signs of his soul power collapsing were evident, and Lin Mubai had reached Minor Achievement in the Way of the Saber, with Saber Qi taking form.

His chances of winning were extremely low if continue the fight.

The lack of soul power was preventing Old Man Tianji from possessing him again.

How could he have ended up in such a state if it weren’t for the fact that he needed to confront Jiang Chen and use Old Man Tianji’s soul power?

And how could he have been slapped by a madman?!

“Strange, logically speaking, he shouldn’t be able to fully activate it with his Earthly Origin cultivation even with an Innate Dao Bone, and epiphany shouldn’t be so fast. Unless…” Old Man Tianji muttered to himself.

“Unless?” Lin Feng inquired.

“Unless he had once dug out his Dao Bone! Polished it and then reinserted it!”

“…Impossible? There are no scars on his chest.”

“There are plenty of elixirs that can heal the scars, and moreover, an Innate Dao Bone will naturally absorb Earthly Origin energy to nourish itself, which would also heal nearby wounds.”

Lin Feng’s mouth twitched.

Since Old Man Tianji said so, it was probably very close to the truth.

This slightly changed his view of Lin Mubai.

Although mad, being able to dig out his own Dao Bone also proved he was ruthless and on par with him!

“It might be related to his madness. After all, a normal person wouldn’t do such a thing. It must be due to some stimulus,” Old Man Tianji added.

“Sigh, a pitiful person.”

Lin Feng felt a sense of pity and sighed, “It must be related to that Jiang Chen. After all, there are rumors that Jiang Chen beats Lin Mubai daily, maybe he couldn’t take it and went mad.”

After speaking, he frowned while puzzled, “But why does he want to kill me?!”

Lin Mubai was not only out to kill him, but from the mumbling Lin Mubai had made when they first met, it was clear he was specifically waiting in this direction towards the Jiuyan Sect, waiting to chop him!

Lin Feng gritted his teeth again.

Jiang Chen harms you, go chop Jiang Chen! Why attack me?

This was so outrageous!

“Why do you care about the thoughts of a madman? Hurry up and run! That madman is coming again!” Old Man Tianji shouted.

Hearing this, Lin Feng was startled.

Looking ahead, he indeed saw Lin Mubai charging at him with two machetes, his eyes blood-red, his face ferocious, as if he wouldn’t be able to sleep until he killed him.

I must stay away from this madman in the future! Lin Feng decided in his heart.

At this moment, he no longer wanted to play with the madman. Using the last of his soul’s power, he prepared to make a respectful retreat!

But just as he was about to turn around, the charging Lin Mubai suddenly shouted.

“Eldest Senior Brother!!”

Eldest Senior Brother?!

Lin Feng’s pupils instantly shrank! Jiang Chen was coming at such a critical moment? Wasn’t this forcing him into a dead end?

In a panic, he quickly looked up into the sky behind him.

But upon looking, there was nothing!

The stars still shone in the sky, but there was no sign of that purple spiritual boat.

“Not good!” Lin Feng exclaimed, quickly turning back.

What caught his eye was a machete already swung down and Lin Mubai’s triumphant sinister smile.

At the critical moment, Lin Feng instinctively turned his head, avoiding the fatal blow, but the machete still struck his left shoulder.

Lin Feng’s flesh split open immediately, cutting three inches into the bone.

“Pfft—”

Blood spurted from his shoulder, the world before him stained red.

Enduring the intense pain, Lin Feng resisted with the last of his soul power, barely stopping the saber from going deeper and severing his arm.

Unexpectedly, the soul power within his body completely collapsed the next moment, and his breath instantly fell to Initial Formation.

A chill ran from his head to toe as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

Looking at Lin Mubai, who was excited and gasping for breath, Lin Feng once again felt that he was done for!

And just as Lin Mubai was about to pull out the saber and prepare to chop off Lin Feng’s head, Lin Feng’s spirits lifted again after sensing the reappearance of soul power!

“Cough cough, hurry up and run! I… I really can’t hold on much longer.” The voice of Old Man Tianji that sounds close to death rang out.

“…Don’t make it sound like I’ve drained you completely.” Lin Feng’s mouth twitched.

This time he didn’t hesitate but covered his shoulder and fully activated his movement technique.

Lin Mubai wanted to pursue him, but he felt his knees weaken after taking one step and knelt down on the ground.

Despite his ferocity just now, in reality, an Innate Dao Bone required a lot of vital energy to support whether it was learning secret techniques or sudden epiphany.

In short, he was also done for at this moment.

“Hmph!”

Sitting on the ground with his twin machete thrust into the ground, Lin Mubai let out a cold snort.

“There’s plenty of time in the future. No need to rush.”

He knew the Son of Destiny was not easy to kill, so he could only keep trying until he succeeded.

“If Eldest Senior Brother knew that I almost chopped Lin Feng to death, he would definitely praise me!” he started to chuckle foolishly again.
