Zhu Feng's response left everyone feeling oppressed once again. In truth, they were not unaware of this possibility; they simply did not want to entertain such thoughts. The reason was simple: their sect's best disciple had turned a friendly competition at the Martial Gathering into a life-and-death situation, ultimately becoming a criminal condemned by thousands. How could these elders bear to witness such a thing?
Therefore, even those who hoped Luo Xin would be the last one standing did not want him to achieve victory in such a manner. The superficial glory was nothing but humiliation, an insult to the righteous faction. In terms of both emotion and reason, they, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, should not tolerate such a person.
However, if the barrier released by Feng Ye indicated that Luo Xin was doomed, then from their perspective, that too was unacceptable. After all, Luo Xin was the Core Disciple they had placed their highest hopes on! To lose him like this was something they could not afford.
Yet Qianjizi seemed unwilling to consider such complex issues for the time being. He looked at Zhu Feng and said word by word, "Why? Why him? What reason does he have to do this? Although we may not have interacted much with Luo Xin, he is someone we watched enter the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. We all know his character; he is not the kind of person who would take lives for victory. So I want to know why he would do something like this!"
Upon hearing this, the Hall Masters seemed to realize that this was indeed the crux of the problem. How could Luo Xin act in such a way? He was not that kind of person. If he truly had such malicious intent, they would have seen it long ago and would never have allowed him to fight again!
But could it really be that he wasn't?
Zhu Feng struggled with his thoughts for a long time. Seeing Qianjizi looking at him seriously, he insisted on his viewpoint: "When Luo Xin came for the trial, we all witnessed his talent. No disciple excels more than him in Array Mastery; even the newest disciple Ye Feng is inferior in this regard! That's why I believe it must be him!"
Mentioning Ye Feng eased everyone's expressions slightly because Ye Feng was also one of the most outstanding potential disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect in decades. He had every capability to become a Core Disciple. However, upon learning about Ye Feng's thoughts, Qianjizi and others were not anxious; otherwise, it might very well have been Ye Feng fighting!
They just couldn't imagine that the one battling Core Disciple Luo Xin was none other than their proud Ye Feng! If they were to find out later, they certainly wouldn't let that kid off easily. But for now, mentioning Ye Feng was futile!
Hearing Zhu Feng's analysis made Qianjizi feel somewhat despondent. Feng Zhengyang and others sighed deeply; they all felt that Zhu Feng's words made sense.
Yet Qianjizi seemed unwilling to accept it and continued, "Can you be sure? That it is definitely Luo Xin and not Feng Ye who released that barrier?"
Upon hearing this, although Zhu Feng did not understand why he insisted on pursuing this question, he still cleared his mind and replied seriously: "Of course I can't be certain; it's entirely possible that Feng Ye did it as well since both are extraordinary Martial Saints and capable in terms of strength. However, although I haven't communicated with Feng Ye much, I can sense that his talent in Mystical Formation is not as good as Luo Xin's. Therefore, when it comes to such an advanced barrier, it is still most likely Luo Xin!"
While this somewhat praised Luo Xin, at this moment Qianjizi was completely unwilling for him to be that person. It wasn't that he wished for Luo Xin's death; rather, he didn't want Luo Xin to become an object of scorn after the battle!
After saying so much, Zhu Feng seemed to realize Qianjizi's thoughts and sighed: "Old Master, I understand how you feel. But right now we cannot know what exactly happened there; we can only wait patiently. Regardless of what happens next, all we can do is accept it and face everything calmly."
Indeed... these once lofty Hall Masters were no longer significant figures in this regard; they could only adapt to circumstances without changing anything! It must be said that this was a kind of sorrow!
Feng Zhengyang heard this and still felt reluctant: "If that's the case, I'd rather Luo Xin survive—even if his victory isn't glorious—because he fought for our sect's honor! What does it matter if his methods are cruel? Battles between warriors should inherently be brutal!"
Upon hearing this statement, Zhu Feng and others were speechless. Although they did not agree with the old madman's view, deep down they still hoped for Luo Xin's survival.
Qianjizi shook his head at these words and smiled bitterly: "Madman, you don't understand. Pursuing brute force as a solution is incorrect. If Luo Xin truly stands at the end using such means, then he will inevitably be abandoned by the world. The final result will be that no one will recognize him; he will become isolated and drift further away until he becomes someone none of us recognize anymore. Is that really okay?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Zhengyang widened his eyes as if wanting to say something but ultimately could not continue... The atmosphere in the room grew colder. Zhu Feng sighed deeply: "Old Master is right; life or death is no longer so simple. I think even if the Sect Leader were here, he wouldn't want Luo Xin to become that kind of person. Rather than that outcome, it's better for him to die honorably... at least then it would be a death worth having!"
"You! You all! How can you be so eager for your disciple! Hmph! No matter what means Luo Xin used, as long as he can survive, Old Man will support him!" Feng Zhengyang finally couldn't hold back and exclaimed!
As soon as he finished speaking, Qianjizi scolded, "Foolish! Victory is not the path a warrior should pursue! A warrior must have great righteousness in their heart to reach greater heights. If One Heart seeks the way with a heart of slaughter, they will ultimately fall into madness! Do you want Luo Xin to become a demon? If that's the case, I would rather that Heavenly Mechanism Sect never had this disciple!"
This statement was rather harsh, and Feng Zhengyang stood up abruptly, glaring at Qianjizi, furious and ready to strike. Zhu Feng quickly grabbed him from the side and tried to mediate, saying, "Alright, alright, we are all family here. Why are we arguing? I think you both need to calm down; after all, we don't have a conclusion yet! Perhaps it won't turn out as we think!"
Although this sounded insincere since the outcome seemed almost predetermined, it still provided an opportunity for Qianjizi and Feng Zhengyang to step back. They ceased their quarrel and turned their attention to the situation in the battle arena with growing concern!
"Luo Xin, oh Luo Xin, Feng Ye, oh Feng Ye, what are you both thinking... Don't be confused!" Qianjizi finally expressed such sentiments, falling silent afterward... The other Hall Masters, influenced by his tone, were also filled with worry...
Ultimately, no one knew how this situation came about or what would happen next in this battle!
Perhaps the answer was not far away!
...
"Feng Ye! Remember, you forced me into this!" In the dark red barrier filled with the aura of death, Luo Xin's somewhat crazed roar echoed. Meanwhile, over a kilometer away, the anxious Hall Masters nearly came to blows over him!
However, he wouldn't care about that anymore; right now, he only wanted Feng Ye dead! The blood under his arms continued to flow! The chaos of his internal True Qi remained unbroken! But it would be soon! He was gathering the power of his internal Source, preparing for an unprecedented explosive attack!
This attack would be enough to annihilate experts of the same realm! Even Ye Feng might not escape unscathed! Initially, he hadn't planned on using that move, but Feng Ye had truly forced him into a corner! Sometimes, even the most insane people are driven to madness like this!
And Ye Feng had already begun to regret not defeating this guy earlier. However, now it was too late for regrets. Upon sensing the solidity of that barrier, he didn't even attempt to break it because he understood that it wasn't something easily shattered! With that time and effort, Luo Xin's self-detonation could very well be completed!
Fearful of attacking Luo Xin, which might trigger an early self-detonation from him, Ye Feng dared not act recklessly. This created a dilemma: on one hand, he couldn't escape this barrier; on the other hand, Luo Xin's Destruction Strike was imminent. His sense of life-threatening danger surged once more!
It was certain that if things continued like this without taking action, even he would truly lose his life here!
But what could he do now?
"Is it worth it? Is it really worth it?" Ye Feng turned around and looked at the crazed Luo Xin, unable to hold back his exclamation!
Indeed, just for victory, this guy had completely changed from his original self! Without madness, there is no survival; yet he had gone completely overboard with his madness!
In response to Ye Feng's words, Luo Xin laughed as if truly insane:
"What? Are you scared? Are you afraid of dying? Are you afraid that your body will become countless fragments?"
Ye Feng felt a wave of discomfort wash over him as he listened to these words. When he looked into the other person's eyes, all he saw was madness, a fixation on victory in battle! Was this Martial Enthusiast truly so obsessed with winning that it had come to this?
"If I had known you were like this..."
"You would have killed me? Right?" Luo Xin quickly interjected, as if finishing the sentence Ye Feng hadn't completed.
But Ye Feng shook his head and said, "No, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have fought you. Fighting a madman is meaningless; even if I win, it wouldn't be worth celebrating!"
"Is that so? Are you trying to elevate yourself? Feeling regret for not killing me when you had the chance because you think you're about to die? Heh, do you really think you could kill me? Even if you had attacked just now, it would only have delayed your own death. You won't be able to kill me! Even if you injure me severely, it would only be a severe injury!"
Luo Xin couldn't stop talking, as if trying to explain why he was acting this way. But the more he spoke, the more Ye Feng felt that he simply couldn't accept defeat.
"Talking like this now will only make me look down on you. I won't deny that I gave you this opportunity. If I had been a bit harsher earlier, you would have died long ago, and we wouldn't be in this situation now!"
Ye Feng said calmly, seemingly unafraid of the impending death.
Luo Xin's smile gradually faded, replaced by a somber expression. He couldn't understand why, at this point, this guy still intended to act nonchalant and maintain that superior attitude. Did he really not care about dying like this?
