Chapter 141: Remember, go find Lin Feng
On the other side.
Inside the Jinling Martial Arts Alliance, in a comfortable room:
Hua Yunfei, with Xiao Qing attending him, quickly took a bath and then sat on the sofa. He picked up his phone and opened a novel titled “City: Ten Years of Cultivation, Invincible Upon Descending the Mountain,” reading it with great enthusiasm.
But after reading for only a short while, he frowned, put down his phone, and looked somewhat wistful.
Xiao Qing, dressed in a thin pink nightgown, was massaging Hua Yunfei’s gradually stiffening calves as she asked softly, “Academician Hua, what’s the matter?”
“Nothing! This was just at a critical moment, and then it stopped! I don’t even know if I’ll live to see the ending.” Hua Yunfei shook his head.
Recalling Hua Yunfei’s illness, Xiao Qing’s eyes reddened. She indignantly complained, “That dog author! Why not update a few more chapters!”
“Xiao Qing, you’ve even learned to scold people now?” Hua Yunfei couldn’t help laughing.
Hearing this, Xiao Qing blushed and lowered her head, embarrassed.
Hua Yunfei glanced outside the door and noticed Yun Zhongtian and Ye Tianlong standing there like straight-backed sentries. Besides the two of them, countless hidden posts were arranged around the house. Each was a formidable elite—people like Wang Yuexuan and Ye Fan!
“Elder Yun! May I trouble you to come in for a moment?” Hua Yunfei suddenly called out.
Startled, Yun Zhongtian hurried into the room. Smiling, he asked, “Academician Hua, is something wrong?”
“I’d like to ask about tonight’s flight. There was a young man and woman with a little girl. Who are those three?” Hua Yunfei asked with a grin.
Without hesitation, Yun Zhongtian answered, “You must mean the direct descendants of the Chen family from Yunchuan. The man is Chen Qianxu, the woman is Chen Yinuo, and the little girl is Lin Lianlian.”
“Lin Lianlian? Then her father’s surname is Lin?” Hua Yunfei’s eyes lit up at that.
Hearing this, Yun Zhongtian’s expression grew more somber, and he nodded. “Her father is named Lin Feng. He’s quite powerful. He even threatened to bathe Jinling City in blood. Tomorrow, we plan to meet with him to discuss it.”
“Why would he want to bathe Jinling City in blood?” Hua Yunfei asked in confusion.
Yun Zhongtian proceeded to recount everything that had happened. After listening, Hua Yunfei grew quiet for a while, then spoke: “Could I join you tomorrow to meet this Lin Feng?”
“That would require Lord Grand Enforcer’s approval. I don’t dare make that call. Lin Feng is unpredictable…” Yun Zhongtian explained.
Hua Yunfei nodded to show he understood.
Meanwhile—
Boom!
Someone outside suddenly rammed open the main gate of the Martial Arts Alliance compound. Right after that, a figure dressed in black and wielding a golden longsword charged in. Only a pair of eyes was visible beneath the black clothing, leaving the person’s facial features unknown. Yet the aura radiating from him was terrifying, and whenever he waved the golden longsword under the moonlight, its cold glimmer struck fear into everyone’s hearts!
Swish, swish, swish—
All the elite fighters lying in ambush rushed out at once, surrounding the person in black. “Who are you? How dare you make trouble in Jinling City’s Martial Arts Alliance!” the Alliance’s Vice Alliance Master, Yang Dingtian, demanded coldly.
The black-clad figure did not respond and instead slashed his sword directly at Yang Dingtian.
“Hmph! Courting death!” Yang Dingtian snorted, immediately summoning his inner energy to his arms to block the blow.
But in the next instant—
Slash!
The sword qi flashed, lopping both of Yang Dingtian’s hands off at the wrists. He collapsed to the ground, wailing in pain.
“Die!” the black-clad figure said chillingly, raising the sword again. The anguished cry was cut off abruptly, and Yang Dingtian’s entire body was cleaved in half. Flesh and blood were everywhere, presenting a grisly sight.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present shrank back, their eyes wide in shock! Yang Dingtian was a mid-stage Earth Realm expert, a first-rate figure in Jinling City, yet the black-clad figure dispatched him in just two blows.
“Everyone, attack together!” Ye Fan, at the peak of the Earth Realm, shouted sharply.
At once, dozens of martial artists rushed the intruder, hesitating no longer. All of them were top-tier elites, at least at the peak of the Mysterious Realm—a special force stationed by the two enforcers to protect Hua Yunfei.
“A bunch of ants! You dare rebel?” The black-clad figure’s tone was cold and merciless.
He wielded the golden longsword with lightning speed; blood and gore spattered wherever he passed. No one could resist his blade. In just a minute, more than half of the elites who had charged in were killed, while the remainder suffered serious injuries. Even Ye Fan took a slash across his chest, cut to the bone, narrowly avoiding death.
“This isn’t good! He’s too strong. Fall back!” Ye Fan shouted, his body covered in blood as he quickly retreated.
He had not expected that this black-clad individual would be so powerful. From the moment he appeared, he hadn’t even shown any indication of using inner energy. Rather, just his superb swordsmanship alone allowed him to overwhelm them so effortlessly.
“All of you, die!” the black-clad figure shouted. Naturally, he was not about to let Ye Fan and the others escape. After this night’s events, his identity would inevitably be exposed, so there was no need to hold back. His goal for the night was to go on a slaughter while Long Aotian was absent and complete the mission assigned by his organization, then withdraw. Above all, the organization had dispatched Blade Demon to intercept Long Aotian, removing any potential obstacles. Tonight would be his solo show—killing gods and Buddhas alike should they stand in his way!
Slash! Slash!
He pursued them relentlessly, killing someone every ten steps, leaving no survivors in his path. With each swing of his longsword, he appeared unstoppable. “Die!” He pointed his sword at Ye Fan, speaking coldly.
Ye Fan felt his blood run cold, and he closed his eyes in despair. But just then—
“Stop!” Wang Yuexuan, who had just hurried out from a quick trip to the bathroom, charged in.
He was a third-layer Houtian Realm expert, able to project his inner energy. He immediately threw a punch from afar, launching a fierce force at the black-clad figure.
Boom!
A frightening gust of fist force roared forward, breaking the air with a booming sound. “Such hubris!” the black-clad figure sneered. Retracting his longsword, he turned and slashed at Wang Yuexuan.
Boom!
Sword qi erupted forth, effortlessly smashing through Wang Yuexuan’s blow, then rushed on toward him with frightening speed. Wang Yuexuan’s pupils contracted as he tried to dodge, but his right arm was still sliced off at the shoulder.
Slash!
Wang Yuexuan let out a scream and was flung backward by the momentum, crashing heavily onto the floor. Gritting his teeth to endure the pain, he scrambled upright, eyes filled with terror. How could anyone be this strong?
At that moment, Ye Tianlong and Yun Zhongtian, having noticed the commotion, rushed onto the scene. Seeing his critically injured son, Ye Tianlong tensed, then turned a frigid gaze upon the black-clad figure, demanding, “Who are you?”
“Who I am doesn’t matter. The important thing is that tonight, none of you will live.” The black-clad figure’s voice was hoarse.
Ye Tianlong narrowed his eyes, realizing the intruder was deliberately disguising his voice. He gave Yun Zhongtian a look, and Yun Zhongtian nodded in return. The next second—
“Cloud-Dissolving Kick!”
“Dragon-Tiger Fist!”
Both enforcers shouted as they unleashed their signature moves at the black-clad figure, who remained fearless. With his golden longsword, he clashed against them in an instant.
Boom! Crash!
His power was overwhelming! Even against the combined might of two enforcers, he showed no weakness and even held the upper hand. Seeing this, the few remaining martial artists turned pale. A single man with a single sword suppressing two chief enforcers—this was unheard of!
“Cross Slash, Sever the Void!” the black-clad figure suddenly roared, swinging the longsword in a horizontal-vertical combination. A cross-shaped sword aura, plainly visible, surged toward Yun Zhongtian. Evidently, he aimed to exploit Yun Zhongtian’s relative weakness to break through.
Slash!
Yun Zhongtian couldn’t dodge fast enough and took the sword aura directly. Though he shielded himself with the power of heaven and earth, he was still knocked flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Ye Tianlong’s expression changed drastically. He now knew that even if he and Yun Zhongtian risked their lives, they couldn’t take down this black-clad intruder. While blocking the black-clad figure’s next blow, he shouted to Ye Fan, “Ye Fan, Wang Yuexuan—get Academician Hua out of here! You cannot let anything happen to him!”
“Dad!” Ye Fan’s voice quavered. He didn’t want to leave his father behind.
“Go! Why are you hesitating? Have you forgotten how I’ve raised you?” Ye Tianlong roared.
Slash!
At that moment, the black-clad figure caught an opening and stabbed Ye Tianlong’s thigh. Ye Tianlong gasped at the burst of pain, blood flowing freely.
“Tonight, none of you are escaping! All of you—die!” Abandoning his attack on Ye Tianlong, the black-clad figure swung his sword at Ye Fan.
Boom!
Yun Zhongtian fought through his injuries and threw himself forward, blocking the sword aura again. He was knocked back a dozen more yards before managing to steady himself.
“Elder Yun!” Ye Fan trembled violently. Elder Yun was a Xiantian Realm master, yet the black-clad figure’s casual slash had sent him flying so far!
“Xiao Fan, stop dawdling! Listen to your father—take Academician Hua and go!” Yun Zhongtian yelled. “I just tried to contact the Grand Enforcer but couldn’t get through, which means he’s in trouble as well. Remember, go to the Jinling Grand Hotel and find Lin Feng!! Right now, in Jinling City, he might be the only one who can stop this black-clad figure! Hurry—find Lin Feng!!!”
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Yun Zhongtian charged forward once more to assist Ye Tianlong. Otherwise, Ye Tianlong wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.
