Chapter 49: Get the Hell Down
As Lin Feng had guessed, Nalan Feng defeated Wen Jiang, even though Wen Jiang was at the Second Layer of Spirit Martial Realm, a higher cultivation level than hers.
Moreover, from start to finish, Nalan Feng had only used one martial soul, the Overbearing Divine Fist.
However, compared to when Nalan Chen used it, the Overbearing Divine Fist in Nalan Feng's hands was immeasurably more powerful. It was as fierce as thunder, capable of shattering ten thousand jun, living up to its name—overbearing to the extreme.
With every punch Nalan Feng threw, Wen Jiang took a step back, until he was shaken until his internal organs were injured and he could no longer fight. Only then did he have to admit defeat.
"Nalan Feng is too formidable. The City Lord's daughter, a city's princess, is truly extraordinary and unmatched."
Watching Nalan Feng display her divine might, many people sighed inwardly, filled with longing. Nalan Feng was not only beautiful, but her strength was also exceptional. If they were lucky enough to... how wonderful that would be. Just thinking about it in their hearts made them incredibly excited.
The second battle was between Lin Feng and Qiu Lan. The crowd began to get excited again. Although this battle might not be as shocking as the previous one, it should still be intense, right?
Also, they wondered just how strong the Life-Seizing One really was. Could he defeat Qiu Lan?
Lin Feng and Qiu Lan locked eyes, and a hint of a smile appeared in Qiu Lan's gaze.
"There's no need for this match. I forfeit."
The crowd was stunned by these words. Forfeit? Qiu Lan was the leader of Lin Feng and the others, having brought them to participate in this martial gathering, and now, when she was about to face the Life-Seizing One, she actually forfeited?
"Could it be that Qiu Lan and the Life-Seizing One have already fought before, and Qiu Lan knows she is no match for him?" The crowd couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild, making silent guesses in their hearts.
"Alright. In that case, let's proceed to the final battle," the old man said indifferently. "For the final battle, all three of you will come up to the main battle platform. Whoever remains until the end is the victor."
"Oh?" Lin Feng's gaze sharpened. He had thought the old man would let Nalan Feng have a bye to recover her strength, but he hadn't expected the final battle to have such rules—a three-way melee.
Nevertheless, Lin Feng still lifted his foot and walked onto the main battle platform. From the other two directions, Nalan Feng and Lin Qian also arrived on the main battle platform.
"Whew... it's the final battle. Who do you think will win?"
"It should be Nalan Feng. Her strength is too great. That golden divine arm martial soul is too overbearing. Lin Qian and the Life-Seizing One won't be able to withstand it."
"I'm not so sure. Lin Qian hasn't fought with her full strength yet, has she? She hasn't even released her martial soul. Do you know what Lin Qian's martial soul is? It's the Ice and Fire Homologous Soul, incredibly powerful. I think the final winner will be Lin Qian."
Everyone expressed their own opinions, but most believed that Nalan Feng and Lin Qian would win the final battle. No one was optimistic about Lin Feng.
Even though Lin Feng's previous performance had been shocking and had surprised everyone, the crowd still felt that today's stage had only two protagonists: the two proud daughters of Yangzhou City, Nalan Feng and Lin Qian. As for this mysterious young man in the silver mask, he was merely a supporting act.
The three who stepped onto the battle platform formed a triangular stance. However, Nalan Feng's gaze was always fixed on Lin Qian, and Lin Qian's eyes were also always on Nalan Feng.
In their field of vision, there was only the other. As for Lin Feng, he seemed to have been forgotten by them.
Lin Feng looked at the two women and sneered inwardly. Both of these women were people who wanted his life, yet now that he was standing right before them, they didn't even know it.
"Nalan Feng, you will repent for your actions that night. And Lin Qian, you drove me and my father out of the Lin Clan and wanted to kill us both. We'll settle this debt slowly." Lin Feng counted silently in his heart. In this cold world, he cherished affection, but he would also remember hatred.
Here, everything depended on oneself—fighting against people, fighting against heaven.
After a long while, Nalan Feng's gaze finally shifted from Lin Qian and landed on Lin Feng. A hint of arrogant smile appeared on her lips.
"Your strength is not bad. If you are willing to join my Nalan Clan, I can let bygones be bygones regarding what happened just now. Moreover, I can occasionally personally guide you in your cultivation."
Nalan Feng's face carried a trace of a smile, but that inadvertent hint of arrogance could never be concealed. As for the "what happened just now" she mentioned, it clearly referred to Lin Feng killing Nalan Chen.
"You... guide me in cultivation?" Lin Feng murmured. This self-righteous woman was indeed not just a little arrogant.
"Yes, I will personally guide you." Nalan Feng didn't know what Lin Feng was thinking and thought he felt honored. She smiled again and said, "You must understand, this kind of opportunity is rare. Right now, there isn't a single person in the Nalan Clan who has it."
It had to be said that Nalan Feng's words were quite attractive to many people, and that smile was also captivating.
"If only I could have such an opportunity, I'd be laughing in my dreams."
"Princess Nalan personally guiding..."
Many people looked at Lin Feng with envy, thinking that this guy was exceptionally lucky.
But... did Lin Feng need Nalan Feng to guide his cultivation?
"So, I should be flattered, right?" Lin Feng looked at Nalan Feng with a mocking gaze. Through the silver mask, Nalan Feng couldn't see Lin Feng's full expression, but she could still detect a hint of strangeness in his tone.
"Don't you think so?" Nalan Feng's voice became a bit colder, and her smile faded.
Lin Feng was speechless. Was this confidence, or was it self-righteous arrogance that looked down on everything?
"Haha, Nalan Feng, I didn't expect you to still be so arrogant. But I really don't understand, with your meager cultivation, what right do you have to be so arrogant?"
Just then, a hearty laugh came from the crowd, full of vigor.
The crowd only saw a figure rise up from the crowd like a great roc spreading its wings, landing directly on the main battle platform, incredibly arrogant.
This person was also a young man, with sharp eyes, a thin face, and an air of arrogance emanating from his entire being.
"Bai Yuanhao." Nalan Feng's expression froze, and her eyes narrowed. She hadn't expected this person to appear here.
"It's me." The young man looked at Nalan Feng, a hint of mocking smile in his eyes. "Nalan Feng, in the Imperial City, you're just an ordinary lowly maid. I didn't expect that in Yangzhou City, you would actually think of yourself as a princess, so arrogant. You're really living comfortably."
"Shut up." Nalan Feng shouted sharply, her voice icy cold.
"What's the matter? Not happy being called a lowly maid? Do you really think you're a princess?" The young man was dismissive, a sinister smirk on his lips.
"You're nothing but a dog." Nalan Feng's voice was cold and insulting.
"By saying that, are you admitting that you are a lowly maid?" The young man laughed, causing Nalan Feng's face to stiffen, becoming extremely ugly.
"Shut up." Nalan Feng was furious, shouting in anger.
Hearing their conversation, the crowd was stunned. The lofty princess of Yangzhou City was being called a lowly maid?
Who was this suddenly appearing young man, daring to speak such arrogant words?
"Bold ruffian, how dare you come to my Nalan Clan to cause trouble. You're looking for death." Nalan Xiong stared coldly at the young man, his tone icy.
"You shut up." The young man turned around and shouted angrily at Nalan Xiong. "Just a City Lord of Yangzhou City, talking big. With one word from me, I could have your entire City Lord's Mansion wiped out."
"Whoosh..." Nalan Xiong's anger surged. He didn't expect this person to be so arrogant.
The crowd's confusion deepened. Who exactly was this suddenly appearing person? He seemed even more arrogant than Nalan Feng and Lin Qian, directly threatening and cursing the City Lord.
"Good, good. I, Nalan Xiong, would like to see how you will wipe out my entire household." Nalan Xiong laughed in extreme anger. In Yangzhou City, this was the first time someone had dared to speak to him like this. It was utterly arrogant beyond measure.
"Father, leave this matter to your daughter to handle."
Nalan Feng suddenly spoke, causing Nalan Xiong's expression to freeze, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. Nalan Feng meant...
"Bai Yuanhao, why aren't you staying in the Imperial City? What are you doing in Yangzhou City?"
"I am here to collect a debt." Bai Yuanhao smiled, then his gaze fell on Lin Feng, and he said, "Alright, this has nothing to do with you. Get down."
"Oh?" Lin Feng frowned. Bai Yuanhao spoke to him in a completely commanding tone, as if Lin Feng were his subordinate.
Looking at Bai Yuanhao, Lin Feng did not move.
Bai Yuanhao's brow twitched, and he coldly shouted, "Get the hell down."
