Chapter 2597: Bringing People to the Doorstep
Luan Shaochen only reacted at this moment. Earlier, when the five Divine King Guards made their move, the command was given by Lin Feng to Ma Biaohu. Luan Shaochen furrowed his brows and began sizing up Lin Feng. The Luan Family was one of the eight Prominent Families in Lin City, and here was someone daring to issue orders against him. What background did this guy have, and if his subordinates were already this powerful, then what kind of a person was he?
No matter how he looked, he couldn’t see anything special about Lin Feng, not even deciphering Lin Feng’s strength. It felt as if Lin Feng was just an ordinary person, which left him puzzled. Could it be that this terrifyingly strong guy was here to protect this person on a leisurely outing?
The more he thought about it, the more he found it plausible. He couldn’t take action against the man with a knife, but could he not act against this pretentious ordinary person? With this in mind, Luan Shaochen glared at Lin Feng and angrily said, "Where did you pop out from?"
After saying that, he didn’t wait for Lin Feng’s response and suddenly made his move...
"Swish."
In an instant, he flashed in front of Lin Feng, moving at an unimaginable speed. A black Fist Aura formed in his hand, and the Yuangang around him was in a rampaging state, like a black storm rushing directly at Lin Feng! In an instant, it gave off a devouring aura, and the wind generated by it made everyone around shiver.
At this moment, Lin Feng didn’t respond at all; Luan Shaochen’s Yuangang power didn’t even make Lin Feng move his head. He lifted his gaze slightly to look at Luan Shaochen, smirked dismissively, and in his eyes, Luan Shaochen seemed like an ant he could easily crush.
Then Lin Feng raised his right hand, no Yuangang appeared around him, and he simply waved it through the air like swatting a fly...
"Boom!"
In an instant, at the moment Lin Feng waved his hand, the black storm that Luan Shaochen launched towards him scattered directly. Countless black Yuangang spread across the sky like falling meteors, creating numerous small pits on the ground around. If the people nearby hadn’t dodged swiftly, someone might have lost their life!
Yet this was just the beginning. In the sky, an unseen air wall seemed to form, rushing at Luan Shaochen with terrifying speed, striking fear into his heart. He instinctively exclaimed inwardly that something was wrong and readied himself to escape.
But by then, it was too late to flee. Before he could react, the air wall had already reached him, knocking him away...
"Boom!"
Luan Shaochen’s body appeared as though it had been struck by an ancient Giant Beast. His body flew like a meteor into the distance, and his previous position showed an invisible shockwave on the ground, like a hurricane lifting everything on the ground and shattering everything it passed. Luckily, the surrounding people were far enough not to be severely affected, but even so, the crowds dozens of yards away were still pushed back a few steps.
"...What kind of cultivation is that?"
"What kind of technique is that!"
"How could the Young Master be sent flying with just one move? Could he be a Divine Venerable?"
The four Divine King Guards behind Luan Shaochen were completely stunned. The earlier Ma Biaohu already made them hesitate to act, but this young man was even more astonishing. He hadn’t used any weapons, merely a single gentle palm thrust, and Luan Shaochen was sent flying. They couldn’t predict Lin Feng’s next move and were worried for Luan Shaochen.
"Heavens, what kind of power is this?"
"This young man is incredibly formidable!"
"Impossible! Second Young Master Luan’s attack didn’t even touch a hair on him, this can’t be true!"
...
Everyone had their eyes wide open, staring at the scene before them. They couldn’t believe that this young man easily sent Luan Shaochen flying, leaving them all astounded and whispering guesses about the man’s background.
Luan Shaochen was thrown more than a dozen yards away, crashing into a large tree. The banyan tree, which was several tens of yards high, was snapped in half from the impact. The destructive power of Lin Feng’s palm was evident. If Luan Shaochen hadn’t been at the Middle Stage of the Universe Realm, and Lin Feng hadn’t been mindful of the safety of bystanders, he might have died long ago.
Then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and with a "thud," he fell heavily to the ground, his clothes torn to shreds by the shock, and a square yard pit appeared beneath him.
At this moment, Luan Shaochen realized the gravity of the situation. His arrogance, despite his realization, did not make him a fool. He forcibly opened his eyes despite the pain. The young man before was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke, no matter his background. One move, just one move, and he nearly lost his life. If he didn’t leave quickly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master, are you alright?"
"How bad are the injuries?"
Upon seeing the situation, several Divine King Guards hurriedly flew to his side. Seeing that Luan Shaochen wasn’t too badly hurt, they finally felt relieved.
Luan Shaochen sat up, enduring unbearable pain, pushed away the Divine King Guards, and pointed at them, cursing: "You useless waste! What use are you?"
Then he stared at Lin Feng viciously and said, "Just you wait!"
Lin Feng ignored Luan Shaochen and simply smiled. To him, Luan Shaochen was already of no value, as it was the Luan Family behind him that was his real target.
"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and take me home!" Luan Shaochen shouted angrily at several Divine King Guards. Then four guards helped Luan Shaochen escape in the direction of the Luan Residence.
"That’s great, really satisfying!"
"That slap really taught him a lesson; Second Young Master Luan couldn’t even move anymore."
"Let’s see if he’ll dare to be so arrogant in the future!"
...
The crowd watching the event cheered repeatedly. In Lin City, the Luan Family’s Family Head was also one of the eight Steward Elders, extremely powerful and influential. The Second Young Master of the Luan Family was notoriously known as a local tyrant, frequently bullying men and harassing women, killing without blinking an eye. The common people could only endure silently. Today, finally, someone stood up for them.
"Young man, you’ve gotten yourself into trouble." A middle-aged man who had been standing behind Lin Feng patted Lin Feng’s shoulder and said. Although Lin Feng had vented their anger, it was still necessary to kindly remind him.
"Why do you say that?" Lin Feng turned around and looked at the man. Although he was unsure of the background of the arrogant brat, he had some idea.
"You might be new to Lin City and haven’t heard, the Luan Family’s influence is not something ordinary people dare to provoke. Their Second Young Master is notorious for retaliating against grudges. You must be careful." Speaking of the Luan Family, there was no one who didn’t know in Lin City. Luan Shaochen’s numerous crimes were well-known, and no one had ever dared to provoke the Luan Family. All he could do was offer a word of advice. After speaking, he shook his head at Lin Feng, sighed, and walked away.
Lin Feng shook his head and smiled lightly, looking at the little girl in front of him who was still crying. He squatted down and gently asked, "What’s your name?"
The girl raised her head, with big teary eyes gazing at Lin Feng. She sobbed as she said, "My name is Xinyue."
Lin Feng extended his hand to stroke the little girl’s head. Looking at her, just a seven or eight-year-old child who had lost her only relative, he sighed and asked, "What happened?"
"My parents were killed, and my grandfather and I escaped from a faraway place to make a living by setting up a stall here. We just arrived in Lin City two days ago. Today, when we just set up our stall, that bully came to steal our things. The herbs Grandpa brought from our hometown were all we had to exchange for some money, but he refused to pay. Grandpa got angry and started to tussle with him. However, he killed Grandpa with a palm blow... Grandpa... I want Grandpa..." Xinyue said, becoming even more upset. She and Grandpa were already suffering through hardships, relying on each other for survival. Now that Grandpa was dead, what would she do?
"What a beast, bullying others! Boss, we must avenge the old man and not let him die in vain," Ma Biaohu said angrily, unable to listen anymore. Such scum should have been dealt with long ago. If they had met them earlier, this guy wouldn’t have been able to get away.
Lin Feng nodded, and Tangyuan, standing on Lin Feng’s shoulder, also reached out a small paw to wipe Xinyue’s tears.
"Xinyue, you will follow me from now on. I will avenge you and make sure justice is served for you." Lin Feng looked at Xinyue. Now Xinyue had no one else to rely on. Helping people should be done thoroughly and there was no place for such a young child to go; he decided to keep her by his side. With this in mind, he gently picked up Xinyue.
"Okay." Xinyue, of course, knew Lin Feng wasn’t a bad person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have drawn his sword to help. She wiped her tears and looked at Lin Feng with her still tearful eyes and nodded. She was truly fortunate to have encountered a benefactor.
"Let’s go, take the old man with us to the Luan Family." Lin Feng stood and said to Ma Biaohu. In fact, he had already decided to find Luan Shaochen, so he used Divine Sense to follow Luan Shaochen to the Luan Residence.
Before Ma Biaohu could react, Lin Feng proceeded forward on his own. Ma Biaohu was a bit puzzled but quickly followed, carrying the old man’s corpse.
.........
Lin City’s grandeur was beyond imagination. The residences of various Prominent Families could be described as their own small cities. The entire area spanning over a hundred miles was the domain of the Luan Clan Residence. When Lin Feng and the others stepped in, they already felt they had entered a different Formation area. The moment they entered, they felt the air around them become heavy, and a special pressure made them feel very uncomfortable, as if something was suppressing them. This feeling was quite odd. Lin Feng merely sensed it, but Ma Biaohu and the others felt as if some special force was weighing down on them.
"This is interesting, Boss!" Ma Biaohu said with a smile at this moment. He was seeing such a Formation for the first time. If it were used against others, it indeed had a suppressive effect. But for him and Lin Feng, this Formation was nothing more than a joke.
"Let’s go." Lin Feng looked at Ma Biaohu and said casually, without saying much more, and continued to walk forward...
