The Capital's Dragon Doctor

"Lin Feng, I'm telling you, the person backing me is not someone you can afford to provoke! If you dare to touch me, then prepare to be hunted for the rest of your life!"

Li Xi roared. He knew he had no hope left, but he had to make one last gamble.

"Why is it always the same line with you people?"

A trace of disdain flashed across Lin Feng's face. Ever since his five senses had been unsealed and he had resumed his cultivation, every idiot he met was exactly the same.

Back when he was the Young Master of the Immortal Doctor Valley, he had never used his status to intimidate others.

But now, these worthless fools were trying to threaten him in such a way. It was laughable. The Lin Feng of today understood better than anyone that as long as one's strength was sufficient, there was no problem that couldn't be solved.

"I advise you to stop right now! Otherwise, when that esteemed person finds out what happened here, you will surely die! I know you're powerful, but you're no match for him…"

"Noisy!"

Li Xi was in the middle of his rambling threats when he suddenly heard Lin Feng's cold retort. Lin Feng then kicked off the ground with his left leg, darting forward in an instant. At that moment, Li Xi finally shut his mouth.

Li Xi's jaw dropped. Lin Feng had already closed the distance and was driving a steel-like knee viciously into his stomach.

He had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as Lin Feng's knee slammed into his abdomen.

BAM!

With a dull thud, Li Xi was sent flying backward. Lin Feng didn't stop. Tapping the ground with his toes, his body became a phantom as he followed close behind.

BAM!

Another loud bang. Lin Feng's kick landed on Li Xi's shoulder, completely shattering his shoulder blade. His body flew sideways before crashing violently against the wall.

BOOM!

With a tremendous roar, a half-meter-deep crater appeared in the wall. Within this crater lay Li Xi, his body completely twisted out of shape.

Blood continuously streamed from the corners of Li Xi's mouth. He struggled to crawl out, but a pair of strong hands grabbed him. An excruciating, heart-tearing pain then spread through his entire body.

A cold glint flickered in Lin Feng's eyes. This time, he truly felt the urge to kill. Not only had this Li Xi tried to murder him...

...but he even dared to use his backers to threaten him. Anyone else might have hesitated, but Lin Feng wouldn't, not for a second.

CRACK!

Following the crisp sound of breaking bones, Li Xi slumped to the ground. Both of his arms hung limply at his sides, clearly useless.

PANT, PANT...

Lin Feng was also breathing heavily. He had expended a great deal of energy; after all, fending off Li Xi's earlier sneak attack had taken a toll on him.

As for the backer Li Xi had mentioned, he paid it no mind.

He would cross that bridge when he came to it. Besides, he had already offended quite a few factions. Every single one of them had vowed to kill him, but what was the result?

Aside from the two factions Lin Feng had already wiped out, the rest had all been defeated one by one after crossing him.

Although these people were powerful, none of them could do anything to Lin Feng. The Lin Feng of today was no longer the rookie he once was.

He was a rising expert. If these people wanted revenge, they would have to weigh their own strength and decide if it was truly worth it.

Lin Feng glanced at Li Xi lying in the crater and shook his head slightly. 'For a good-for-nothing like him to think he could threaten me... How naive.'

However, Lin Feng was a little curious. 'The Murong Family's defenses are far too weak, aren't they?'

This was the fourth wave of assassins he had encountered since entering the Murong Family estate, yet not a single guard or expert had shown up to help. It was quite abnormal.

'Where has everyone gone?'

Lin Feng's brow furrowed. By his estimation, a great clan like the Murong Family should have extremely tight security. The current situation left him baffled.

After that battle, Lin Feng felt completely exhausted and couldn't be bothered to investigate it further.

In any case, he was already planning to deliver the medicinal pills to Murong Yi Yun, the Patriarch Murong, the next day. He would just play it by ear then.

With that thought, Lin Feng grabbed Li Xi's corpse and left.

Lin Feng walked away in a hurry. He wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible; after all, his body still needed time to recover.

Just then, atop a small building in the distance, three men in black robes stood with their hands behind their backs. Their gazes, fixed on Lin Feng, were filled with gloom and greed.

These three were retainers of the Murong Family, and they had witnessed everything that had just transpired.

"Hmph, that Li Xi really is a good-for-nothing. To fail such a simple assassination!"

One of the black-robed men spoke with contempt as he watched Lin Feng's retreating figure.

"This guy is indeed a bit strange. I've investigated him recently. The kid is definitely a Loose Cultivator. He's had a few shocking battles in the Mortal Realm before."

"But I never expected him to be able to defeat a Grandmaster Realm Ancient Martial Artist."

Another black-robed man said, followed by a slight sigh.

"Well, it's too late for all that now."

"Erase all traces of our presence here tonight. Now is not the time to expose ourselves."

"Kill all the bodyguards, maids, and so on. Make it look like Li Xi fled to escape punishment. Let's go!"

"As for Lin Feng, leave him be for now."

"After all, an Early Stage of Grandmaster is the strongest combatant we can mobilize at the moment. If even that wasn't enough, then we truly have no way to deal with him right now."

With a wave of his hand, the leading black-robed man and the other two quietly departed...

The next day, the sun was bright in a clear, cloudless sky. A red sun slowly rose, scattering its warmth across the mortal world.

YAWN!

Standing by the window, Lin Feng let out a long-overdue yawn. He had changed his clothes; though his attire was similar to what he usually wore, it looked sharper and more capable.

This was the same Lin Feng who had just returned late last night. After the great battle, although he appeared unharmed on the surface, he knew himself that he had not yet returned to his peak condition.

Although he had killed Li Xi, the price he paid was enormous. That final, desperate blow, in particular, had drained all of his Inner Strength. His current state could only be described as extremely weak.

This was the main reason why he hadn't gone to find Murong Yi Yun right away, instead sending him a message asking him to come over.

Although Murong Yi Yun was unaware of this attack, one could never be too careful. Naturally, Lin Feng had to take precautions against what might happen.
