Chapter 140: Joyfully Obtaining Five Wind Spirit Stones

 

“You’ve got some skill. No wonder you managed to kill Ghost Infant!”

The Windrunner’s eyes swept up and down Lin Feng, taking in his appearance. It was unclear what was running through his mind.

Suddenly, he spoke up:

“Ghost Infant was my dear companion. Since you killed him, starting today, you’ll take his place.”

“How about that? As long as you’re willing, I can let all of you go tonight.”

Chen Qianxu was thrilled when he heard that and hurried to urge Lin Feng to agree.

Lin Feng kicked Chen Qianxu aside, frowned, and asked, “This dear companion you mentioned—what exactly do you mean?”

“I’m the top,” the Windrunner answered with a slight smile.

Lin Feng froze for a moment, then immediately realized what he meant, and felt goosebumps all over.

He was being targeted by a gay man?

“Get lost!”

Lin Feng did not hesitate. He struck out with his palm from a distance.

“Tsk tsk… The more you struggle, the more excited I get!”

The Windrunner licked his lips. With a slight wave of his right hand, he unleashed a whirling wind blade.

The wind blade was clearly visible, whooshing as it tore through the surrounding air, causing a faint distortion in the space. However, Lin Feng’s palm energy easily dispersed this fierce wind blade, before slamming into the off-guard Windrunner with a heavy blow.

Bang!

The Windrunner had no time to react before he was sent flying across the room, crashing hard into the wall.

“Damn!”

Chen Qianxu was stunned.

At that moment, the Windrunner suddenly scrambled to his feet and, without hesitation, flew toward the window. Although he was a degenerate, he was not foolish. After seeing Lin Feng launch a palm from a distance that knocked him away so effortlessly, he realized he was no match. He opted to run immediately.

“I really misjudged you! Too bad I can fly. In a short time, I can reach the speed of sound. Even if I can’t beat you, I can still escape!” “Heh heh heh… Just wait, I’ll be back!”

As he was leaving, the Windrunner tossed out one more taunt.

“You’re coming right back here.”

Lin Feng let out a cold laugh, extended his right hand toward the Windrunner, and grabbed lightly in the air.

Suddenly, the Windrunner lost control of his body and was pulled back to Lin Feng, directly into his grasp.

“You…”

The smile on the Windrunner’s face vanished, replaced by a look of unending terror.

“You damn gay! To hell with you.”

For the first time, Lin Feng blurted out a coarse epithet. Then he directly performed Soul Search on the Windrunner.

In an instant, the Windrunner’s memories flooded into Lin Feng’s mind. Scene after scene, including numerous bed scenes with different men, nearly made Lin Feng vomit.

“Damn!”

Lin Feng hurriedly put an end to the search, too disgusted to continue.

There are perverts every year, but it seems especially bad this year!

But amid those memories, Lin Feng found several key pieces of information:

1. The reason the Windrunner was able to enter the country this time was thanks to someone called Mr. Ma. His objective was to assassinate a scientist named Hua Yunfei.
2. The Windrunner’s ability to control the wind wasn’t an innate power but was due to the Wind Spirit Stones.

Afterward, Lin Feng searched the Windrunner’s body and found five light-green spirit stones.

“These really are Wind Spirit Stones!”

A sharp gleam surfaced in Lin Feng’s eyes.

Spirit Stones come in different varieties. Besides pure spirit stones, there are various elemental stones as well. Wind Spirit Stones are just such an elemental type. They carry the power of wind, enabling array formations or the practice of movement-based techniques. For those with a wind-aligned physique, it provides an extraordinary boost.

According to the old man, in the cultivation world, a single elemental spirit stone can be traded for at least ten top-grade spirit stones.

“Ah… If only I’d met you sooner, things would’ve been different.”

Lin Feng glanced at the Windrunner, who was now effectively brain-dead, and couldn’t help letting out a sigh. Originally, the Windrunner had over a thousand Wind Spirit Stones, but he had used nearly all of them, leaving only these five. Lin Feng felt it a real pity.

“Heh heh… You touched me, now I’m going to touch you.”

With a vacant grin, the Windrunner tried to reach out and grope Lin Feng.

Crack!

Lin Feng promptly crushed the Windrunner’s neck. Then he sent out a wisp of spirit fire, burning the corpse to ashes and blowing them out the window.

Seeing this, Chen Qianxu stood there, utterly dumbfounded.

Chen Yinuo was also somewhat surprised.

Xiao Lianlian, on the other hand, wore a curious expression. She piped up, “Daddy, what does ‘top’ mean?”

Looking at his daughter’s pure, innocent expression, Lin Feng thought for a moment, then explained, “It means attacking.”

In a certain sense, he didn’t lie to his daughter.

“Attacking?”

Xiao Lianlian suddenly understood. She clung to Lin Feng’s neck like a little koala and planted a kiss on his cheek. “Daddy, you’re amazing!”

“Only a little bit amazing, really.”

Lin Feng patted his daughter’s head, then turned his gaze to Chen Yinuo and Chen Qianxu. “I have some matters to deal with over the next couple of days. How about waiting until I’m done, and then we all head to Yunchuan together?”

Chen Yinuo naturally had no objections. She glanced at her brother, letting him decide.

“Alright! With your current abilities, the elders in my family will have nothing to say. You just need to handle my younger brother and sister. They have a strong sense of justice and think you treated Yinuo unfairly.”

Chen Qianxu tried to quell his inner shock and replied.

…

In a lavishly decorated mansion, Ma Dongfeng was half-reclined on a sofa, resting with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he opened them and glanced at the time. It was already past eleven at night.

“What is that damn gay man doing? How has there been no news all this time!”

Ma Dongfeng’s expression turned grim. He got up swiftly, pulled out a satellite phone, and dialed.

“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is turned off.”

Hearing that automated message, Ma Dongfeng’s heart sank. He knew something must have happened to the Windrunner; otherwise, his phone would never be switched off. Yet how could anything have happened to the Windrunner, with his powerful skills, in a city like Jinling? Thanks to his extraordinary ability to ride the wind, even a typical martial arts grandmaster wouldn’t be able to kill him.

Ma Dongfeng made several more calls, none of which went through. His face grew more and more serious. After thinking for a moment, he dialed another number.

This time, the call was quickly answered. A rather soft voice sounded on the other end: “Is the mission accomplished yet, Ma…?”

“An uncontrollable situation has occurred. Ghost Infant is already dead, and I just tried reaching the Windrunner repeatedly, but I can’t get in touch!”

Ma Dongfeng said.

There was silence on the other end. After a lengthy pause, that soft voice spoke again: “The Windrunner is already dead! The life sign from his internal chip has vanished.”

Although Ma Dongfeng had guessed as much, his heart still clenched when he heard it confirmed. The Windrunner was no mere Ghost Infant; he was one of the organization’s top assassins. And now he had died without a sound, without even sending out a plea for help! Who on earth had done this? What sort of formidable presence was hidden here in Jinling?

“What do you want me to do now?” Ma Dongfeng asked.

“Hua Yunfei must be eradicated, or the consequences will be dire!” the soft voice said chillingly. Then it continued: “Head out now. I’ll have the Blade Demon keep Long Aotian occupied. No matter what, make sure Hua Yunfei is eliminated! As for Ghost Infant and the Windrunner, we’ll investigate that later.”

“Understood!”

Ma Dongfeng nodded. He hung up, dressed in dark clothes, and vanished into the night with a few swift leaps.

“A bit of skill, no wonder you could kill Ghost Infant!”

The Windwalker’s eyes sized up Lin Feng, from top to bottom, as if pondering something.

Suddenly, he said, “Ghost Infant was my good partner. Since you killed him, starting today, you’ll take his place. How about it? As long as you agree, tonight I can let all of you go.”

Chen Qianxu was rather pleased upon hearing this and hurried to persuade Lin Feng to accept it.

Lin Feng kicked Chen Qianxu aside, frowned, and asked, “This ‘good partner’ you speak of—what do you mean by that?”

“I’m the top.” The Windwalker smiled faintly.

Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, then reacted, feeling goosebumps all over. He was actually being targeted by a gay man?

“Scram!”

Without hesitation, Lin Feng slapped forward from a distance.

“Tsk tsk… The more you resist, the more excited I get!”
The Windwalker licked his lips, waving his right hand gently to send out a wind blade.

The wind blade was visible to the naked eye, whooshing through the air and slightly distorting the surrounding space. However, Lin Feng’s palm strike easily shattered the fierce wind blade, then continued forward and slammed heavily into the unprepared Windwalker.

Bang!

Before he could react, the Windwalker was knocked backward, crashing hard into the wall.

“Damn!” Chen Qianxu was stunned.

Just then, the Windwalker suddenly got up and, without hesitation, flew out the window. Although he was a pervert, he wasn’t a fool! Seeing Lin Feng knock him away so effortlessly with one palm strike from a distance, he knew he was no match, so he chose to flee immediately.

“I misjudged you! Too bad I can fly—I can reach the speed of sound in a short time. Even if I can’t beat you, I can still escape! Heh heh heh… just you wait, I’ll be back!”

Before leaving, the Windwalker still found time for a taunt.

“You might as well come back here right now.”

Lin Feng sneered and reached out his right hand, making a light grabbing motion in the Windwalker’s direction.

Immediately, the Windwalker lost all control of his body and was pulled back, landing in Lin Feng’s grip.

“You…”

All traces of a smile disappeared from the Windwalker’s face, replaced by sheer terror.

“Die, you damn pervert! Screw you!”

For the first time, Lin Feng spat out an expletive and directly proceeded to search the Windwalker’s soul. In that instant, all of the Windwalker’s memories rushed into Lin Feng’s mind. Those scenes—his affairs with various men—almost made Lin Feng retch.

“Damn it!”

Lin Feng quickly ceased the search, unable to bear the disgust. There really are perverts every year, but never before as many as this one!

Still, he did find some key pieces of information:

1) The reason the Windwalker had managed to enter the country this time was because someone named Mr. Ma arranged it, and the goal was to kill a certain scientist named Hua Yunfei.
2) The Windwalker’s ability to control the wind was not a natural talent; it came from something known as the Wind Spirit Stones.

Lin Feng then searched the Windwalker’s body and found five faintly light-green spirit stones.

“It really is Wind Spirit Stone!”

A glint of excitement flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes. Spirit stones come in different varieties; apart from pure spirit stones, there are also elemental spirit stones. Wind Spirit Stones are one such type, containing the power of wind, which can be used to set up formations or cultivate movement techniques. For anyone with a wind-aligned spiritual constitution, it’s like adding wings to a tiger!

According to the old man, in the cultivation world, even one piece of elemental spirit stone can be traded for at least ten top-grade spirit stones.

“Sigh… If only I had come across you sooner.”
Lin Feng glanced at the Windwalker, who had now turned into a mindless idiot, and let out a sigh. Originally, the Windwalker had over a thousand Wind Spirit Stones, but he used them all up, leaving only five. Lin Feng truly felt regretful.

“Heh heh… You touched me, so I’ll touch you too.”
The Windwalker wore a silly grin and reached out to grope Lin Feng.

Crack!
Lin Feng snapped the Windwalker’s neck and then unleashed a beam of spirit fire, reducing the man’s body to ash, which he blew out the window.

Seeing this, Chen Qianxu stood there, dumbfounded. Chen Yinuo was also surprised, while little Lianlian watched curiously and asked, “Daddy, what does ‘top’ mean?”

Looking at his daughter’s pure, innocent expression, Lin Feng thought for a moment and explained, “It means ‘attack.’”
In a certain sense, he wasn’t lying to her.

“Attack?” Little Lianlian suddenly understood. Then, she clung to Lin Feng’s neck like a koala and planted a kiss on his cheek. “Daddy, you’re awesome!”

“I’m just so-so.”
Lin Feng patted his daughter gently on the head, then shifted his gaze to Chen Yinuo and Chen Qianxu. “I have some things to deal with in the next couple of days. How about we all go to Yunchuan together once I’m finished?”

Chen Yinuo had no objections and turned to look at her brother for his input.

“Sounds good. With your current strength, my family elders definitely won’t object. You just need to handle my younger brother and sister. They have a strong sense of justice and feel that you wronged Yinuo.”
Chen Qianxu suppressed the turmoil in his heart and spoke.

…

In a lavish, golden villa, Ma Dongfeng lay half-reclining on the sofa, eyes closed in rest. Suddenly, he opened them and glanced at the time, noting it was already past eleven at night.

“That damn pervert, what is he up to? Why is there no word from him even now?”
Ma Dongfeng’s face hardened. He rose quickly, took out his satellite phone, and dialed.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable.”

Hearing the automated message, Ma Dongfeng’s heart sank. He knew something must have happened to the Windwalker. Otherwise, his phone would never be turned off. Yet how could anything have happened to the Windwalker with his formidable strength, especially in a place like Jinling City?

Given his powerful wind-manipulation abilities, not even an ordinary grandmaster of martial arts would necessarily be able to kill him.
Ma Dongfeng dialed several more times, but no one picked up. His expression grew increasingly grim. After some thought, he called another number.

This time, the call connected quickly, and a soft, unhurried voice spoke on the other end, “Is the mission complete, Ma…?”

“An uncontrollable situation has arisen. Ghost Infant is dead, and I haven’t been able to reach the Windwalker despite trying for some time.”
Ma Dongfeng said.

On the other end, there was a brief silence. After a while, the soft voice resumed, “The Windwalker is already dead. The life chip in his body has lost its signal.”

Even though Ma Dongfeng had anticipated this, hearing the news still made his heart clench. The Windwalker was no small fry; he was one of the organization’s top assassins. He had died without so much as a cry for help, silently and without warning. Who could have done it? What kind of power was hidden in Jinling City?

“So what do I do now?” Ma Dongfeng asked.

“Hua Yunfei must be eliminated. Otherwise, he’ll become a huge problem. I’ll send Blade Demon to distract Long Aotian. No matter what, see to it that Hua Yunfei is dealt with this time! As for Ghost Infant and the Windwalker, we’ll investigate further later.”
The voice on the phone was chilly.

“Understood!” Ma Dongfeng replied, then hung up. He donned a set of black night gear. A few leaps later, he vanished into the vast darkness outside.
