"It's him, no wonder, no wonder he treated me like this... no wonder Nalan Hai and the others were all wiped out." Nalan Feng's eyes also froze, her heart shocked. It was Lin Feng, the Lin Feng she had sent people to kill.
Thinking back to Lin Feng's actions at the Listening Wind Tavern, Nalan Feng's heart was bitter. What right did she have to demand that Lin Feng take her seriously? In fact, a faint trace of regret even arose in Nalan Feng's heart.
Seeing the shock of the Lin family members, the crowd's gazes fixed, secretly guessing who this person was, that he could cause the Lin family to be so moved.
"Impossible, how could you be this strong?" Lin Qian still couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes. This arrogant, domineering, and invincible genius youth was actually the waste Lin Feng she had always looked down on and despised. This psychological drop was unbearable.
"Nothing is impossible. It's me, Lin Feng, the 'waste' Lin Feng you used despicable means to expel from the family."
Lin Feng's voice was indifferent, a simple sentence, but it struck heavily on the hearts of the Lin family members. Lin Feng was so powerful; this should have been the glory of their Lin family. They should have cheered for Lin Feng's strength, but the scene before them was so ironic. The person they had expelled from the family was beyond compare.
"Boom." The crowd trembled. It was Lin Feng, the abandoned son of the Lin family, Lin Feng... the rumored waste that the Lin family couldn't tolerate. How could this be? Were all the rumors false?
Everything that happened today was too shocking. No one expected Qiu Yuanhao to appear, and no one anticipated that they would witness the emergence of a genius, but this genius was the rumored abandoned waste.
"No wonder he wore a mask!"
"Lin Qian, you are arrogant, conceited, and look down on everyone. You only act arrogant within your own family. In my eyes, let alone a genius, you are nothing but a fool. Lin Badao, Grand Elder, your strength is inferior to my father's. You couldn't even withstand a few of his moves, yet you colluded with the Supreme Elder to seize my father's position as family head and expelled my father and me from the family. What you and the Supreme Elder relied on was nothing but Lin Qian's talent, believing that she would one day rise to prominence. That's why you disregarded my father and me."
"But now, everyone can see that Lin Qian means nothing in front of me. Do you feel ridiculous? Ashamed? And do you feel regret? Of course, I understand that even if you regret it, you won't admit it. However, today is just the beginning. I am merely proving your ridiculousness, your stupidity, and your filthy faces. In the future, I will step onto the Lin family grounds again and return everything you did to my father and me."
Lin Feng, who had always been taciturn, suddenly stopped being silent. Every word pierced the hearts of the Lin family members, causing them to tremble inside.
What Lin Feng said was correct. The reason the Lin family dared to oppose Lin Hai and support Lin Badao as family head was not because Lin Badao was strong—he was actually weaker than Lin Hai—but because of Lin Qian's talent. They believed that with Lin Qian's talent, her future would be limitless, and the Lin family would benefit accordingly.
But they never expected that by currying favor with Lin Qian, they had expelled a family member even more talented than her... and that family member could have been the future master of the Lin family.
And this was only the beginning... With Lin Feng's talent, how strong would he become? Could Lin Qian ever catch up?
Why was such a genius expelled from the family? Why, when Lin Feng defeated Lin Hong that day, did no one give him a chance to shine? It was as if everyone had already decided he was inferior to Lin Qian, until this moment, when Lin Feng stood on the high main battle platform, looking down on all the geniuses.
Regret? Of course, the Lin family regretted it. They knew that everything was irreversible. They had missed a genius who could shake Yangzhou City, one that even the people from the imperial capital couldn't match.
"Beast, shut up!" Lin Badao couldn't refute Lin Feng's words and turned angry from shame.
"Lin Badao, you disregarded filial piety, seized the position of family head that Grandfather passed to my father, and intended to overthrow the Lin family. You ignored brotherly bonds and blood ties, single-mindedly wanting to kill my father and me. Lin Badao, you are the true beast. I am ashamed to be associated with you. Even now that I have left the Lin family, I feel humiliated for ever having had any connection with you."
Every word Lin Feng spoke was sharp, piercing into Lin Badao's heart.
Lin Feng's silence didn't mean he was not good with words. When it came to insulting others, who could compare to him, who had lived two lives?
Lin Badao's chest heaved, angered to no end.
"City Lord Nalan, this abandoned son of the Lin family shows no respect for his elders. Today, I am here to clean up the family. You won't blame me, will you?" Lin Badao looked up at Nalan Xiong and said.
"This is a matter of the Lin family. I naturally won't interfere." Nalan Xiong replied indifferently.
Seeing the two playing off each other, Lin Feng sneered inwardly. He had injured and insulted Nalan Feng, which had already made Nalan Xiong hate him. Lin Badao's question was redundant; even if he didn't move against Lin Feng, Nalan Xiong would likely take action himself.
"In my eyes, the Yangzhou City martial arts tournament is worthless. It only allows the City Lord's Nalan family to win, but can't accept defeat. I suggest this kind of tournament should not be held in the future. If others have outstanding talent, they will only incur your jealousy and be subjected to your malicious hands. The Yangzhou City Lord is nothing but a joke."
Lin Feng's pupils were deep and cold, his words reaching the hearts of the crowd. This kind of tournament was better not to participate in.
"Lin Qian, didn't you want my life? Now, I'll take yours."
Lin Feng said coldly, stepping forward. Lin Badao was startled and blocked in front of Lin Qian, glaring at Lin Feng.
"Die!" Lin Feng roared, and the long sword on his back flew out of its sheath, thrusting straight at Lin Qian like rolling thunder.
"Do you think this will work?" Lin Badao saw Lin Feng shoot the sword and snorted coldly, releasing a powerful aura.
"Floating Light Passing Shadow."
Lin Feng's figure suddenly disappeared from its original position, but instead of moving toward Lin Badao and Lin Qian, it moved away...
"Not good."
Nalan Xiong was greatly alarmed. He stood up and leaped through the air, heading straight for Lin Feng. Lin Feng's target was Nalan Feng!
Nalan Feng also realized that Lin Feng's figure was heading toward her. Her pupils fixed, and she punched out with her Overlord Fist, but Lin Feng's flexible sword merely waved casually, and the fist shadow vanished. The next moment, a cold, soft sword was pressed against her neck—icy and bone-chilling.
"Do you dare?" Nalan Xiong roared, landing not far from Lin Feng.
"Take one more step, and she dies." Lin Feng's tone was icy, devoid of any emotion. No one doubted his words. If Nalan Xiong took another step closer, Lin Feng would likely make a move against Nalan Feng.
Nalan Feng looked at Lin Feng's pitch-black pupils. She had never felt so defeated. In Lin Feng's eyes, she was a waste, a waste that could be captured as a hostage at any time. At this moment, Nalan Feng naturally understood that Lin Feng had already planned to take her hostage.
The crowd watched Lin Feng in silence. This extraordinary man who had descended from the sky was utterly arrogant.
Just when everyone thought he was brainless for daring to offend all the families at once, he shocked the crowd once again.
Perhaps, when Lin Feng came to participate in the tournament, he had already anticipated everything that might happen. Even Qiu Yuanhao's appearance was an accident, but it still couldn't disrupt his plan. He dared to offend everyone because he had already prepared an escape route, and that route was Nalan Feng.
This was a crazy idea in itself, and only someone as strong and crazy as Lin Feng could have such a bold, yet precise plan.
Using arrogant words to attract everyone's attention, when Lin Badao wanted to take revenge, he gave everyone a surprise, including Nalan Xiong.
At this moment, Lin Badao, Nalan Xiong, and the others, in front of the young junior Lin Feng, looked like clowns, being led around by the nose.
The genius Lin Feng, a tiger in the heart, sniffing the roses!
