Chapter 509: Dread
"Just how strong is this guy?"
The Qin Family was utterly shocked, their eyes filled with intense apprehension as they stared at Lin Feng.
They had never imagined that a mere Late Stage of Postnatal Martial Cultivator—someone who, in their minds, was as insignificant as an ant—was someone they couldn't even crush!
Even their elder had been defeated by this young man. They were even less qualified to face him!
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash! You're all good-for-nothings!"
Qin Xiong roared in fury, his heart filled with immense frustration.
The members of the Qin Family all lowered their heads, none daring to say a word.
After all, Lin Feng's power was terrifying. Even the master at the Peak of Innate Realm from their family had been unable to withstand his attacks.
The gap in strength was simply too vast. Even if they refused to accept it, there was nothing they could do.
"Uncle Qin, what do we do?"
Qin Yang asked, his face fraught with panic.
"There's no other choice. We have to call for reinforcements."
Qin Xiong gritted his teeth, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Hmph. Once *he* arrives, this kid's days of arrogance will be over!"
With a cold snort, Qin Xiong turned and left the living room to summon the reinforcements.
Lin Feng, however, simply stood his ground, quietly waiting for the Qin Family's backup to arrive.
"Is this guy insane? He's still not leaving!"
"Does he think our Qin Family has no one left? How ridiculous!"
"Hmph! Exactly!"
"Our Qin Family has stood for a hundred years! How dare he run wild here!"
Seeing that Lin Feng made no move, the surrounding Qin Family members breathed a collective sigh of relief. They had thought he was scared stiff!
And so, they reverted to their usual haughty demeanor, berating Lin Feng for not knowing his place.
Lin Feng, however, paid them no mind and simply continued to wait quietly.
The more they cursed and swore, the more relaxed Lin Feng became.
Just as he was about to deal harshly with the surrounding Qin Family members, the sound of something slicing through the air suddenly arrived!
At the same time, an extremely tyrannical aura—one that clearly surpassed the Innate Realm—instantly enveloped the entire courtyard.
Lin Feng's brow furrowed. He turned toward the entrance and saw an old man in a simple gray robe who had appeared there at some unknown time, possessing an ethereal, sage-like air.
His speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, he swept into the living room and appeared before Lin Feng.
The old man stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed impassively on Lin Feng, his eyes radiating a chilling killing intent.
"Who are you?"
At the sight, Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. 'I can clearly feel that this old man's aura is completely different from any enemy I've faced before!'
"You were looking for a real opponent, weren't you? Well, here I am."
Hearing Lin Feng's question, the old man just nodded slightly, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes!
SWISH!
The next moment, the old man's figure vanished, reappearing instantly in front of Lin Feng.
THUD!
With a muffled impact, Lin Feng was knocked back seven or eight meters before he could steady himself.
"Are you sure you want to get involved in this mess?"
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes at the old man, his expression gradually twisting into one filled with killing intent.
'He forced me back in a single exchange. This old man's combat prowess is far beyond my expectations!'
"Hm?"
The old man raised an eyebrow, ignoring Lin Feng's question as his gaze sharpened.
"You're not bad, being able to block my palm strike. A pity you chose to cause trouble for my Qin Family. Tonight is destined to be your doom!"
The moment he finished speaking, he tapped his foot on the ground and shot toward Lin Feng like an afterimage.
The air between them crackled as a ferocious gale of energy swept out.
BOOM!
The very space here seemed unable to bear such immense pressure, and it began to tremble violently.
'So powerful... This is truly the combat strength of the Late Stage of Innate Realm!'
Lin Feng's pupils constricted. The old man's power far surpassed his expectations!
"Haha! The little bastard is finished! He might be strong, but there's no way he can withstand an attack from someone in the Late Stage of Innate Realm!"
"That's right! No matter how heaven-defying he is, he's ultimately just in the Late Stage of Postnatal. There's no way he can be a match for our ancestor!"
Although the surrounding members of the Qin Family didn't know where this old man had come from, they grew incredibly excited seeing that this mysterious elder was finally going to teach the overconfident brat a lesson himself.
"This kid is dead for sure!"
They were ecstatic.
This was a Late Stage of Innate Martial Artist! Even if Lin Feng was a monster of a talent, his death was certain!
Yet, Lin Feng showed not a trace of fear. On the contrary, a wicked smirk played on his lips.
He suddenly swung his right arm. The veins on it bulged like coiled dragons as his muscles swelled, becoming as hard as rock.
He clenched his fist and met the old man's charge head-on.
DONG!
A terrifying sound of impact rang out as their fists collided, sending a shockwave of air surging outwards!
Ripples of force, almost visible to the naked eye, spread out like waves.
Lin Feng and the old man were both forced back three steps—they were evenly matched!
The expressions on the faces of the Qin Family members froze solid when they saw this.
"Th-that's impossible, right?"
They stared wide-eyed at the astonishing scene, muttering in disbelief.
How could Lin Feng's physical strength be even greater than the old man's?!
Qin Yang's pupils contracted, a dangerous light glinting in his eyes.
His face was ashen, and his gaze was filled with overwhelming killing intent for Lin Feng.
"You dare launch a sneak attack on me? You're courting death!"
Lin Feng's eyes turned icy as he barked out the words.
Immediately, a terrifying Inner Strength erupted from his body. His entire aura surged, making him seem like an unsheathed sword—incomparably sharp.
"Heh heh, young man. You've quite surprised me."
The gray-robed old man looked at Lin Feng, slightly astonished himself.
He could tell that although this young man was only about twenty, his physical strength was comparable to someone in the Late Stage of Innate Realm!
'This is simply unbelievable!'
"Since that's the case, you'll pay with your life!"
As his voice fell, an astonishingly cold glint erupted from the gray-robed old man's eyes. His figure vanished, reappearing the next second behind Lin Feng.
He thrust out his palm, striking viciously toward Lin Feng's spine, clearly intending to kill him in a single blow.
RUMBLE!
Lin Feng sensed the movement behind him. He spun around abruptly, thrusting out both fists to smash into the old man's palm.
BANG!
A terrifying blast of energy erupted, and the two were once again forced dozens of yards apart.
"Oh?"
The gray-robed old man was taken aback by this. He could clearly feel his palm had gone slightly numb.
"You've got some skill, but you're still going to die!"
With that, his body flickered and he vanished once more.
