Chapter 71: This Young Friend Is Truly Outstanding Among His Peers
Witnessing this scene,
All expressions vanished from the onlookers’ faces, leaving only blank stares.
Even Jiang Junlin, Chen Qianxu, and Chen Yinuo were dumbfounded.
As for Tan Tianhong, Cai Wen, and Tian Bin, their legs went weak, nearly collapsing on the ground.
It’s over!
It’s really over!
Does Young Master Lin truly know no fear?
Killing Wind Cloud Gang members was one thing,
But daring to kill an elder from the Hundred Clouds Commerce Association?
And he killed so decisively, not even giving the other party a chance to beg for mercy.
Just said he’d kill…
And killed?
At this moment,
The scene fell into a deathly silence!
No one could remain calm, and no one dared to speak. All were as quiet as cicadas in winter, not daring to even breathe.
And just then,
“Tap!”
“Tap!”
“Tap!”
Faint footsteps echoed from nearby.
The sound was barely audible, but had a peculiar rhythm,
As if beating against everyone’s hearts, making all present feel like they were suffocating!
A master!
This must be an unimaginably powerful master!
Everyone trembled, looking toward the source of the footsteps.
They saw an elderly man slowly walking over!
No…
Not slow!
It only appeared slow!
In reality, the old man’s speed was very fast, covering dozens of meters in a single step, giving the impression of space compression!
“Hiss~”
Everyone drew in a sharp breath!
Heaven Realm!
Definitely a Heaven Realm expert!!!
Clearly, this was a Heaven Realm expert from the Hundred Clouds Commerce Association.
Having witnessed Huang Feilong’s death on the mountain, he rushed here immediately!
The elder had white hair and a slightly hunched posture, appearing elderly and frail!
But,
His eyes
Were startlingly bright!!!
Like flames burning within his pupils!
Lin Feng watched the elder with interest.
Interesting!
There truly is a watershed between Heaven Realm and Earth Realm.
He could tell at a glance that the internal energy within the elder’s body had begun transforming into spiritual energy!
Though the transformation wasn’t extensive, only about one-third complete, it was already remarkable for a martial artist!
Which means,
A beginning Heaven Realm martial artist equals a Qi Condensation first layer cultivator?
Lin Feng pondered.
Of course, this was just his speculation – whether it was actually true would require further verification!
“Young man, which power’s disciple are you?”
The elder arrived at the scene and asked, rather than attacking directly.
His voice was deeply weathered,
Instantly awakening everyone present!
At this moment,
Everyone’s expressions were filled with uncertainty!
That’s right!
They had been too shocked by Lin Feng’s audacity earlier to consider that he might have a formidable background!
Moreover, this background might not be inferior to the Hundred Clouds Commerce Association!
Otherwise,
How could he be so powerful at such a young age?
Being able to kill Cheng Yun of the Wind Cloud Gang
Meant Lin Feng was at least at Earth Realm peak,
Perhaps even with one foot in the Heaven Realm!
This could truly be called a monster among monsters!
“Sister, what exactly is Lin Feng’s background?”
Chen Qianxu’s expression grew noticeably more serious.
From Lin Feng’s previous actions, he could sense Lin Feng’s overwhelming strength!
Not much weaker than himself!
It should be noted that he was the direct heir of the Chen family, at Earth Realm peak!
His combat prowess made him an absolute leader among the younger generation throughout the Cloud River region!
“I… I don’t know either!”
Chen Yinuo seemed confused,
But her heart was filled more with joy.
She thought about how Lin Feng had disappeared for ten years – could he really have been accepted as a disciple by some powerful force?
“You were with him for seven years and don’t know his background?”
“I really don’t know. In my impression, he was just an ordinary person!”
Chen Qianxu fell silent, looking at Lin Feng with flickering eyes, his thoughts unclear.
Beside him, Jiang Junlin’s face darkened.
He had just broken through to Earth Realm initial stage last night,
Still feeling pleased with himself!
But now you’re telling me Lin Feng is already at Earth Realm peak, and has a powerful background?
Moreover,
He also noticed Chen Qianxu’s increasingly friendly gaze.
Clearly his view of Lin Feng had changed!
This wasn’t good news! In terms of strength, the Jiang family was far inferior to the Chen family!
The Chen family agreed to marry Chen Yinuo to him for two reasons:
First, Chen Yinuo had an illegitimate daughter, damaging her reputation.
Second, he himself was excellent and had a powerful sister who had joined a sect in the mountains.
If the Chen family discovered Lin Feng wasn’t inferior to him,
They would clearly lean toward marrying Chen Yinuo to Lin Feng, considering little Lian Lian!
He understood clearly,
Between great families, what mattered was benefit!
Things like feelings and friendship were all nonsense!
But soon,
Jiang Junlin’s expression softened again.
Because only the Medicine Cloud Doctor he found could cure little Lian Lian’s illness!
Someone like Chen Yinuo who loved her daughter so deeply wouldn’t ignore her daughter’s condition!
So, Chen Yinuo would still have to marry him!
However, given the situation, they should stay away from Lin Feng in the future – no need to provoke him!
Meanwhile,
After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng said calmly:
“You’re overthinking it. I’m just on my own, with no force backing me.”
“Without any backing, you dare kill someone from my Hundred Clouds Commerce Association? Young man, I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice – don’t take me for a fool!”
The Heaven Realm elder’s eyes narrowed.
A pressure unique to Heaven Realm experts emanated from his body, pressing toward Lin Feng, intending to give him a warning.
Lin Feng couldn’t help but smile.
This pressure,
Are you sure it’s not meant as a joke?
He lifted his eyelids slightly, doing nothing but looking at the Heaven Realm elder.
“Whoosh!”
The Heaven Realm elder instantly felt as if something had violently struck his heart.
His head buzzed,
And he couldn’t help stepping back several paces!
“You… you are…”
The Heaven Realm elder looked at Lin Feng in shock!
One glance!
Just one glance!
Not only did it shatter his pressure, but it almost crushed his heart!
Such power was simply heaven-defying!
At this moment,
He even suspected Lin Feng might be beyond Heaven Realm!
But… how could that be possible?
What the Heaven Realm elder didn’t know was,
Lin Feng had only used one millionth of his pressure just now.
Because he had no intention of killing the elder.
Although Lin Feng was very powerful, he wasn’t a mindless killer who slayed everyone he met!
The reason he killed Huang Feilong earlier was simply because Huang Feilong was too arrogant and foolish, which annoyed him!
In contrast,
This elder was very graceful!
He was clearly the cautious type who knew when to advance and retreat,
Not mindlessly attacking but choosing to first inquire about Lin Feng’s background.
Lin Feng didn’t dislike such behavior!
This approach
Precisely showed that the elder was a wise person!
Dealing with wise people was always more comfortable!
Therefore,
In Lin Feng’s view,
Keeping someone like this elder alive would be far more useful than killing him!
Sure enough,
After some consideration,
The Heaven Realm elder took the initiative to step forward, his expression much friendlier, and said:
“This young friend is truly outstanding among his peers. I was somewhat discourteous earlier!”
