Chapter 70: Reward?
"The Young Master has spoken! Anyone who kills him gets a million!"
The man in the lead roared, and the morale of the men in black surged.
They were all convinced of their victory, eager to take Lin Feng's life in one fell swoop. After all, they were the elites of the Black Tiger Gang.
Although they weren't Ancient Martial Artists, they were still the cream of the crop among ordinary men; taking on three opponents at once was nothing to them.
These men were tall and powerfully built, making them look all the more formidable.
"Hmph. Since you're here, none of you will be leaving."
Watching the vast tide of black-clad men surging toward him, Lin Feng just gave a cold sneer. He stomped his foot, and his body shot forward like a launched missile, plunging into the sea of men.
He might have been a little concerned if they were using firearms, but if this group wanted a close-quarters fight...
...then they were about to learn what happens when a wolf enters a flock of sheep.
WHOOSH!
One of the men in black was the first to charge, swinging his blade down. The fierce gust of wind from the slash blew his bangs up. The chillingly sharp blade tore through the air, whistling as it descended upon Lin Feng's head.
Yet Lin Feng acted as if he hadn't seen a thing, continuing his forward charge and accelerating. The moment he reached the man in black, he lashed out with a kick.
THUD!
The kick landed squarely on the man's stomach, sending him flying. He vomited a spray of blood in mid-air, his body spasming violently, before finally crashing hard onto the ground, never to get up again.
"My God! Is this guy a monster?!"
"Don't just stand there! Attack!"
The remaining men in black were scared stiff. They were just ordinary people; when had they ever encountered a situation like this?
A living, breathing person had been taken down in a single move right before their eyes, and their opponent was completely unscathed. 'How is this possible?!'
"Kill!"
But their shock was fleeting. Soon, rage consumed their hearts, and they charged at Lin Feng, howling like madmen.
SWISH!
The men moved with extreme speed, surrounding Lin Feng and launching their assault in the blink of an eye. All sorts of weapons gave off a piercing, cold glint under the moonlight.
In response, Lin Feng merely shot them an indifferent glance. He snatched a long blade to block in front of him, stomped the ground, and launched himself into the air. After an elegant mid-air flip, he landed steadily in the distance.
BANG! BANG!
The spot where Lin Feng had just stood was instantly shrouded in dust and smoke. Countless bullets struck the area, kicking up sparks and leaving small craters in the ground.
Lin Feng let out a breath.
He smiled slightly as he looked at the pale-faced members of the Black Tiger Gang opposite him.
He could tell from that last volley of attacks that these men were far from ordinary. Clearly, they were the true foundation of the Black Tiger Gang.
Lin Feng's Body Technique was uncanny and unpredictable, and his speed was astonishingly fast. It was as if invisible strings were pulling at his feet, allowing his speed to continuously accelerate.
The Black Tiger Gang members couldn't lock onto him with their bullets, because Lin Feng always made death-defying moves at the most critical moments, with a timing that could only be described as perfect.
"You bunch of good-for-nothings! You can't even handle a single young man, and you dare call yourselves the elites we trained!"
A captain who had been observing from the shadows flew into a humiliated rage when he confirmed that Lin Feng had completely escaped their encirclement.
His eyes were filled with venom. He had originally intended to use this ambush to eliminate Lin Feng, but who would have thought Lin Feng would be so hard to deal with.
"Boss, we failed. Please punish us."
The face of the leading man in black was ashen. They had already given it everything they had, yet they still couldn't do a thing to Lin Feng. They didn't even have what it took to get close to him. He had never felt such a sense of defeat in his entire life.
They were a force renowned throughout Huaxia, ranked among the top thirty underworld powers in all of Great Xia.
And that was to say nothing of their standing here in Jingxi.
Yet all of them combined couldn't even handle Lin Feng alone. What's more, they had lost several elite members, a loss that made his heart ache.
"Useless! Useless! What good are any of you to me!"
The Black Tiger Gang squad leader snarled, cursing viciously.
But his own back was now drenched in sweat. From the moment he joined the criminal underworld to this very day, he had never seen someone so terrifying.
He knew they had picked a fight with the wrong person tonight.
"Retreat! Go inform the Young Master and Mr. Zhang! This is beyond our ability to handle now!"
Taking a deep breath, the squad leader decisively gave the order.
As soon as the order was given, all the Black Tiger Gang members turned and ran for their lives.
These guys made a living bullying people, so their physical fitness was naturally good. Now, under the threat of death, they ran with impressive speed. Since they were all wearing bulletproof vests, most of them hadn't suffered any serious injuries.
"Heh heh heh."
Lin Feng stood in the distance, a mocking smile playing on his lips as he watched their pathetic retreat.
He had no intention of slaughtering these common thugs. He wasn't a demon, after all.
Besides, these were just gang members. Once he killed their leaders, the rest would naturally disperse. There was no need to take risks over them.
After all, even a cornered rabbit will bite. He didn't need to do anything that would increase the risk, as it might affect his plans—a price that simply wasn't worth paying.
SWOOSH!
Suddenly, a dagger sliced through the night sky, heading for Lin Feng's chest.
Lin Feng frowned, his right hand shooting out to snatch the speeding dagger from the air while his left elbow simultaneously jabbed to the side.
THWACK!
The elbow strike slammed directly into another black-clad man's ribs, producing a sharp cracking sound.
Just then, the remaining men swarmed him.
This time they came prepared, each man wielding two gleaming military bayonets. These were extremely dangerous weapons; if they made the slightest mistake, they would likely meet their end here.
'What a stubborn bunch. I gave you a chance to live, and you didn't take it.'
Lin Feng's gaze turned to ice. His figure flickered as he dodged the deadly attack, and with a flick of his hand, an immense power surged from him.
A series of shattering sounds followed as all the bayonets exploded. The men were blasted to pieces, their severed limbs and shredded flesh littering the ground.
Staring at the carnage around him, the black-clad captain's pupils constricted, and his whole body trembled.
This guy was an absolute monster. He had annihilated all their elites single-handedly.
"Go!"
