Chapter 213: A Threat?
"A family that's barely touched Ancient Martial Arts, and they dare to threaten me?"
Withdrawing his foot, Lin Feng looked down at the barely breathing Chen Yongliang. Their Cultivation Technique was incomplete, and they didn't even know how to properly use it.
He truly couldn't understand where an Ancient Martial Family like this got the nerve to swagger around.
"You..." PUH-CHFF!
Chen Yongliang heard Lin Feng's words, and his already savage face twisted even further.
'I can't believe it. This kid isn't even afraid of an Ancient Martial Family. What's his background? Could it be... Lin Feng isn't a Mortal Martial Artist at all, but an Ancient Martial Artist from one of the great families?'
The thought terrified Chen Yongliang, and his face instantly turned deathly pale. Still, he endured the intense pain, pointed a trembling finger at Lin Feng, and shouted, "Kid, you... just who in the world are you!"
"With strength like that, you must be from an Ancient Martial Family too! If so, you can't kill me! Otherwise, the Chen Family will surely become your family's enemy!"
"My Chen Family is no ordinary power in Jiangnan! You'd better think this through!"
Lin Feng just shook his head. Chen Yongliang was far too naive. His idiotic behavior was almost pitiful.
But Chen Yongliang misunderstood his gesture, thinking Lin Feng was scared. He was instantly overjoyed, certain that bringing up his family would make this guy back down.
Lin Feng, however, ignored him. He simply lifted a foot and stomped, breaking one of Chen Yongliang's arms, then turned to leave without a second glance.
"I'll take you down with me!"
Chen Yongliang let out a blood-curdling scream and lunged at Lin Feng. He was already completely exhausted, but the surge of pain had driven him past the point of reason.
Having been coddled his entire life, when had he ever suffered such a brutal beating?
But just as he lunged, Lin Feng suddenly spun around. His tightly clenched iron fist slammed viciously into Chen Yongliang's stomach.
BAM!
With a dull thud, Chen Yongliang's body went flying. His once-handsome face rapidly flushed red, then darkened to a bruised purple.
"BLAARGH!"
Chen Yongliang vomited a huge mouthful of blood. His internal organs had ruptured, and his high-end clothes were now splattered with crimson stains.
Lin Feng slowly walked over, crouched down, and grabbed one of Chen Yongliang's arms. With the sickening CRACK of breaking bone, that arm was snapped as well.
"I really didn't want to kill so many people. Why did you have to force my hand?"
Lin Feng's tone was incredibly gentle, as if he were just chatting with a friend and not a supremely vicious Demon King. This was natural, as he wasn't a bloodthirsty person by nature.
"Sob... sob..."
Chen Yongliang was now utterly hopeless. He never imagined he would encounter such a monster today. The terrifying speed and strength filled him with infinite dread.
Lin Feng gave him no more chances. His other arm was snapped in an instant. With both arms crippled, Chen Yongliang was a miserable sight, lying there like a bloody sack.
Lin Feng stared at Chen Yongliang, his eyes frigid. He then took out a dagger and hacked off both of his legs, finally putting an end to it.
WHOOSH!
A soft gleam of light caught Lin Feng's eye. He snatched a Jade Pendant from Chen Yongliang's waist, stuffed it into his pocket, dusted off his pants, and prepared to leave.
"You can't do this to me! The Chen Family will never let you go!"
Chen Yongliang's eyes were wide with fury. Though he was already lying in a pool of his own blood, he still managed to roar. That Jade Pendant was a family heirloom, passed down from his grandfather!
"Alright, you're a dead man. What's the point of talking?"
"If you hadn't provoked me earlier, none of this would have happened."
"Was it really worth it? Sacrificing your life and your men's, all for a bearskin?"
"Greed makes people foolish. You're still young. To die like this... what a waste!"
Lin Feng walked away without a backward glance. He wasn't going to change his mind because of some so-called Ancient Martial Family. All he cared about were the people close to him; everyone and everything else was irrelevant.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Chen Yongliang's eyes blazed with insane fury. He couldn't accept it. He truly couldn't accept it.
He was filled with hatred, but he was completely helpless. He knew that with his level of strength, he wouldn't have been able to fight back even if Lin Feng just stood there and let him try.
Watching the figure in the distance gradually disappear into the night, the light in Chen Yongliang's eyes slowly faded. A single tear rolled from the corner of his eye.
THUD!
The sound of a body hitting the ground echoed through the valley. Chen Yongliang fell flat on his back, a trail of bright red blood flowing out across the hillside...
...
Lin Feng moved swiftly, reaching the foot of the mountain in no time.
"Finally out of there."
The monotonous sea of trees at last gave way to the sight of a somewhat dilapidated asphalt road.
Lin Feng let out a long breath. He'd been in this godforsaken wilderness for two days and was getting sick of it. He was glad to finally be able to leave.
'Where did I park the car again?'
Stretching, Lin Feng walked along the road with the bearskin, which weighed over a hundred pounds, on his back. It was already eight or nine o'clock at night, and he needed to find a place to rest.
SCREECH!
Just then, a car next to him slammed on its brakes. A girl in sunglasses poked her head out, her brow furrowed with worry. She glanced at her surroundings before her eyes landed on Lin Feng.
"What is wrong with you? Are you blind? If I had killed you, could you even afford to pay for the damage to my car?!"
The girl took off her glasses. Seeing the massive bearskin on Lin Feng's shoulder, which looked to weigh hundreds of pounds, she assumed he was just some hunter and snapped angrily.
Lin Feng frowned slightly but didn't say anything. Arguing with a worldly girl like this was beneath him. He simply walked around her, intending to continue his search for a place to stay.
"Hey! What are you doing? I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?"
Seeing Lin Feng ignore her, the girl became even more furious and started chasing after him.
The girl was tall and well-proportioned, and exceptionally pretty, but she was acting like a total shrew. Anyone else who saw this would have been completely shocked.
Lin Feng was speechless. 'What did I do to deserve this?'
"I ignore you, and you just get more worked up?"
