Chapter 271: A Favor
"Alright. If I get the chance, I'll take you to the Li Family."
After a moment's hesitation, Murong Qian finally nodded in agreement. She believed that with Lin Feng's medical skills, he should be able to produce what she wanted. It was better to do him a favor than to let those greedy people benefit.
Besides, Lin Feng had saved her life. It was only right to repay such a great kindness.
"Thanks. I'll treat you to a meal some other day."
Hearing Murong Qian agree, Lin Feng broke into a grin.
The two chatted a bit more. After confirming that Murong Qian's condition hadn't worsened, Lin Feng saw her out.
'Phew, things are finally heading in the right direction.'
Watching Murong Qian's retreating figure, Lin Feng heaved a long sigh, feeling a great weight lift from his shoulders.
RING RING RING!
Just as Lin Feng was about to return to his room to continue cultivating, the phone in his pocket suddenly began to ring.
"Hello? Who is this?"
Seeing the unfamiliar number on the screen, Lin Feng frowned but pressed the answer button anyway.
"Is this Lin Feng? I have a deal I'd like to discuss with you. I wonder if you'd be interested?"
The voice on the other end was flippant, even tinged with a hint of madness.
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. After a moment of contemplation, he decided to test the waters.
"Oh? And what kind of deal would that be?"
he asked, feigning composure.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You've really got guts. Just as expected from the badass who dares to snatch things from under the noses of so many powerful groups!"
The man on the other end said sinisterly, "I'm waiting for you now at an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Jiangnan City. Come alone. Otherwise... heheh... I'll let the boys have their way with that little chick!"
Hearing this threat, Lin Feng's fists clenched. He instantly knew who "that little chick" was!
Su Yanxue!
He couldn't believe it. A single moment of carelessness had given these bastards the chance to kidnap Su Yanxue!
'That bastard! How dare he threaten me? Does he have a death wish?!'
Lin Feng suppressed his rage and said calmly, "Where are you?"
"The abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs."
Murong Hao said without any attempt to hide the location.
"I'll be there in half an hour."
After saying that, Lin Feng hung up, left the hotel immediately, and headed for the abandoned factory.
「...」
"Hahaha! You actually dared to come alone. How foolish."
Somewhere in the abandoned factory, Su Peng watched Lin Feng with a mocking expression. He was now acting with reckless confidence.
"I don't think you're capable of hurting me."
Lin Feng stood his ground, his expression unchanged. He spoke faintly, his tone laced with a hint of mockery.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that Lin Feng dared to speak to him like that, Su Peng snorted coldly, his face twisting into a ferocious scowl.
Although Lin Feng had successfully enraged him, he didn't dare to act rashly.
After all, he had heard of Lin Feng's accomplishments. He was a truly ruthless character, not some pushover.
More importantly, he sensed a heart-pounding aura from Lin Feng. Even though he didn't want to admit it, he was still a little rattled.
"You little bastard, you might as well give up and die! Today, you must die!"
With that, Su Peng slapped his hip and drew a dagger, lunging straight at Lin Feng with astonishing speed.
SWISH~
The swinging dagger let out a piercing sound as it cut through the air.
Lin Feng sneered and shook his head disdainfully. His right arm shot up, his five fingers spreading as he reached for his opponent's chest.
His grab looked simple and unadorned, yet it possessed an inexplicable grace.
BANG~
With a dull thud, Su Peng was knocked back several steps. He shook his numb arm, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at Lin Feng.
"This is impossible!"
Lin Feng's move had completely stunned him.
He, a dignified Ancient Martial Artist at the Late Stage of Innate, couldn't even withstand a single blow from Lin Feng. This was simply too outrageous.
"Again!"
He gritted his teeth in a fury. With a heaven-shaking roar, his figure shot toward Lin Feng, lunging to kill once more.
"Where have you taken Su Yanxue?"
Faced with his opponent's ferocious attack, Lin Feng paid it no mind. Instead, he stared at him with icy eyes and slowly asked his question.
At the mention of Su Yanxue, a savage glint flashed in Su Peng's eyes.
"Don't you worry. As long as you surrender without a fight, I'll be sure to leave you a complete corpse. I'll also let that woman go."
He stared at Lin Feng, his face full of venomous hatred.
"Heh~"
Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but sneer.
'Does this Su Peng take me for a fool? Surrender without a fight? That's absolutely impossible.'
"Since it's come to this, don't blame me for what happens next!"
A cold light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He took a step, and his body shot forward, crashing into Su Peng like a meteor.
BAM!
The two collided with a tremendous crash, and Su Peng was sent flying.
"How is this possible? How can you be this strong!"
Su Peng clutched his chest, staring at Lin Feng in horror. He never would have imagined that Lin Feng's strength and speed could be so immense.
"Heh, are those your last words?"
Lin Feng said faintly, then suddenly leaped into the air, raising his right leg for a direct kick at Su Peng.
"Damn it! You really think I'm a pushover?"
Seeing Lin Feng's sharp attack, Su Peng roared, leaped up, and met him head-on.
The two met in mid-air, clashing for an instant before separating.
Su Peng staggered back a few steps, a look of shock on his face. 'I was actually knocked back?!'
Lin Feng's expression was cold. Although he had also been pushed back a few steps, he didn't pause. Instead, he pressed his advantage, closed the distance again, and swept his right leg out.
"Damn you! You really think I'm no match for you?"
Coming to his senses, Su Peng's face turned icy. He had just been caught off guard for a moment, but he didn't expect Lin Feng to be so relentless, pressing his advantage and dead-set on killing him.
SWOOSH!
He now held a Short Blade in each hand. His figure spun swiftly around Lin Feng, the blades glinting with a sinister cold light under the dim lamps.
SHING!
The Short Blades sliced through the air, emitting a sharp whistle.
"You're courting death!"
Lin Feng snorted coldly. His eyes narrowed, and his right hand shot out, accurately grabbing Su Peng's arm and twisting it outward with great force.
"Hmph!"
Feeling the power in his arm, Su Peng's face was like ice. He stepped forward and, with a great exertion of strength from both his hands, forcefully twisted free from Lin Feng's grip.
Seeing this, Lin Feng's pupils contracted. He hadn't expected this guy to have so much brute force.
WHOOSH!
Just then, Su Peng's body suddenly swayed, dodging Lin Feng's attack. At the same time, his arms trembled, and a cold light suddenly flared.
One of his Short Blades, glinting with a sinister cold light, thrust straight at Lin Feng.
CLANG!
At the critical moment, Lin Feng ducked to dodge the blow and slapped out in the same motion.
