It wasn’t just the Winged People who were outraged; all the spectators in the front rows had taken action.
Ji Xinghuo was also mixed in among the crowd. As soon as Linyan Yongfeng had entered the arena, he had sensed something amiss—someone was secretly tampering with his mind!
The interference was mild, more like "Empathy," but on a much larger scale and extremely covert, difficult to detect.
Ji Xinghuo’s first reaction was that a Mind Hacker was playing tricks.
However, the target was not him, but rather the spectators in the arena, especially the Winged People in the front rows. The most important target seemed to be Linyan Yongfeng on the field.
Linyan Yongfeng, in his heightened emotional state, had killed several people without realizing he had fallen into the trap, completely revealing his true nature.
What he said was what he thought.
But normally, even the arrogant and domineering Linyan Yongfeng wouldn’t dare to voice such thoughts, for Shepherd Star Saint, the Queen, was not someone he, a mere Dragon Lord of youth, could afford to insult.
Yet he was led by that Mind Hacker, under the darkness’s guidance, to publicly utter insults.
Queen Ayi held immense prestige within the Sky Feather Royal Court, deeply cherished by the Winged People.
The Winged People could not tolerate any insult to their Queen. Already quite dissatisfied with Linyan Yongfeng, as soon as he spoke, they were immediately pushed to the opposing side; their emotions manipulated by the Mind Hacker in the shadows, anger building up step by step like a volcano.
Yet the Winged People, fearing the reputation of the True Dragon Family, held back from acting out.
This was an opportunity!
Ji Xinghuo decisively entered Stealth State, took out the Invisible Stab and silent arrow, and shot at Linyan Yongfeng, igniting the fuse himself.
The Winged People could fly, moving quickly.
In an instant, the Winged People from the front rows had charged up to Linyan Yongfeng, wielding weapons, attacking him from all directions.
Linyan Yongfeng roared angrily, scales surfaced on his skin, and his eyes flared with ghostly white flames.
A dragon’s aura burst forth.
The power in his roar contained enough strength to intimidate, the sound waves visible to the naked eye, like a dragon’s roar, the approaching figures of the Winged People getting staggered by the roar, fear obvious in their eyes.
Linyan Yongfeng brandished his sword, sweeping it around in several arcs of Sword Qi.
Dozens of Winged People were slashed into pieces instantly.
In just one encounter, the arena floor was stained red with the blood of the Winged People.
But this did not deter the Winged People; their rage and valor fully ignited, under the secret manipulation of the Mind Hacker, they almost completely lost their reason and fearlessly charged at Linyan Yongfeng, wave after wave, surrounding him tightly.
Sword Qi crisscrossed, rage burning!
Almost all the Winged People were of Third Rank or lower, and even with a joint assault, using every trick they had, they were no match for Linyan Yongfeng.
However, as the saying goes, two fists can’t defeat four hands. After repelling several waves of attacks and despite making the best choice and being unmatched in Martial Arts, Linyan Yongfeng was still approached closely by the Winged People, one of whom managed to strike his back with a blade, but could not penetrate his Dragon Scale armor, leaving only a mark.
He turned around and slashed this Winged Person, and immediately others took his place.
More weapons landed on him.
Suddenly, Linyan Yongfeng was mired in a brutal mauling, unable to exhibit his exquisitely agile moves; each attack was met with a direct clash with the Winged People, trading blow for blow.
However, the defense of a Dragon Lord is indeed robust; Linyan Yongfeng was only thrown into disarray but was not seriously injured.
The temperature of the White Flames on his body was exceptionally high.
Each burst, as the White Flames sprayed out and touched the Winged People, even the smallest spark would rapidly spread over the body, burning off Winged People’s feathers clean, then searing through the flesh, uncontrollably burning into the bone, extremely terrifying.
This was the White Phosphorus Fire of the Linyan Dragon!
Watching this unfold from amidst the Winged People, Ji Xinghuo’s pupils shrank instantly, becoming even more cautious.
After several waves of assaults, a Fourth Rank elite from among the Winged People stepped forth, leading the charge for his tribespeople.
"All of you, come on!"
Viciousness also triggered in Linyan Yongfeng, completely reckless, he shouted, "Let’s see how much strength you Winged People truly possess, bring it all out! If I die here today, even if you Winged People have the capability, killing a Dragon Lord will be the greatest glory of your lives!"
As he shouted, he sliced and hacked with his Broadsword, repelling two who attacked from behind and slicing three other Winged People into pieces.
The sound of metal clashing continuously filled the air.
With each collision, another Winged Person would fall dead by Linyan Yongfeng’s sword.
Winged People from afar also raised their bows, shooting a flurry of arrows.
Linyan Yongfeng had a keen intuition for the threat level of arrows, ignoring most that posed no threat, allowing them to hit his Dragon Scales.
Only for a few arrows did he either avoid vital areas.
Or block, or use the bodies of the Winged People as shields.
More and more bodies covered the floor of the arena; out of hundreds of thousands of Winged spectators, actually only a few thousand had lost their senses enough to join the assault. Most regained their awareness after that dragon’s roar, stopping mid-flight or turning back, not participating in the strike.
Even so, those few thousand Winged People seemed like a vast ocean engulfing Linyan Yongfeng.
But only a handful of those could actually reach him.
Linyan Yongfeng stood like a rock amid raging waves, no matter how hard they struck, he remained unyielding, cutting down each Winged Person who came before him.
Bodies of the Winged People piled up at his feet.
His injuries gradually increased.
