# Chapter 1203: Return
"Dead!"
Looking at the fallen figure, the space suddenly became silent. Wasn't he going to capture Little Chen? How did he suddenly die?
"Go and bring him here!" The young man at the lead sat atop his dragon horse, speaking coldly.
Behind him, a figure leaped out, his eyes indifferent as he scanned the crowd, slowly walking toward Little Chen.
"Whoosh." His body suddenly moved, his arm radiating a wild intent as he viciously struck toward Little Chen. But at that moment, a terrifying aura descended instantly, piercing directly into his body. His body then convulsed violently, his face turning pale, before he too collapsed limply to the ground—dead.
"Boom!" At this moment, all the experts of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress released icy auras from their bodies, their gazes sweeping through the crowd. Among the crowd, there was a figure who was very inconspicuous, standing quietly, as if merged into this space.
"You weren't there just now!" The leading expert pointed his finger at the young man, his expression cold. This person had appeared just now, as if materializing out of thin air.
Almost simultaneously, the young man's footsteps slowly emerged from the crowd. In his calm expression lay a hint of something that inspired fear.
Seeing Lin Feng's calm expression, Master Xu inexplicably felt his heart settle down, a faint, gratified smile appearing on his face.
At the same time, a figure rushed over from afar—it was Ye Xue, who had gone to call Lin Feng. Her heart was still pounding wildly. Lin Feng's speed was too terrifying; she simply couldn't keep up.
"Master Xu." Seeing Master Xu's severe injuries, Ye Xue's heart ached.
"It's nothing." Master Xu smiled, his gaze still on Lin Feng. All hope rested on Lin Feng now.
Lin Feng slowly stepped forward and picked up the little one.
"Uncle Lin, they are bad people!" The little one's voice was still childish, but there was already anger in it.
"Uncle knows." Lin Feng rubbed the little one's head.
"Who are you?" The leading young man of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress still sat on his dragon horse, looking down at Lin Feng as he spoke coldly.
Lin Feng glanced at him, then crouched down, setting the little one aside. He took out a bottle containing blue liquid droplets and said, "Master Xu, open your mouth."
Though puzzled, Master Xu still obeyed Lin Feng, opening his mouth. Lin Feng dripped a drop of pure, flawless blue liquid into his mouth. Instantly, Master Xu felt his injuries healing at an astonishing speed—his shattered bones reconnecting, his torn meridians repairing themselves. The Life Tear nurtured by the Life Scar was sacred water, a supreme healing treasure!
Just moments later, Master Xu raised his hand, clenched his fist, and then shook it violently. A cracking sound rang out as the broken bones reconnected. Shock filled his face as he stared at Lin Feng in disbelief.
"Master Xu!" The crowd rushed forward, and seeing Master Xu's hands restored to normal, they too showed excited expressions.
"I'm asking you a question!" An icy, bone-chilling voice interrupted the excited crowd. The leading young man's body exuded a wild killing intent, making the crowd feel an intense chill.
"Who are they?" Lin Feng still acted as if he hadn't heard the other's words, instead asking Master Xu.
"People from the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress. They wanted to seize the treasure in our town. When I recognized their identity, they intended to massacre the town." Master Xu said angrily.
"Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress!" Lin Feng murmured softly, then slowly walked out toward those riding the dragon horses. His steps were steady and firm, each step deliberate.
"Kill him!" The young man said coldly. Instantly, two figures trembled, leaped into the air, and then viciously struck down toward Lin Feng below.
Lin Feng's steps remained steady as he slowly advanced. His hand waved slightly. The crowd only saw two flashes of light, and then—thud, thud—two sounds rang out. The two bodies fell directly to the ground, convulsed briefly, and then lay still, not moving at all!
This scene made both sides' hearts tremble violently. They stared in shock at what had happened. With just a wave of his hand, two people—dead!
"Auntie, I told you I wasn't lying. Uncle Lin is amazing. He just flicked his finger, and the waterfall split apart." The little one looked up at Ye Xue, his voice childish. Ye Xue's face was also filled with shock. At this moment, how could she still doubt the little one's words?
Just as Master Xu had said, Lin Feng possessed unfathomable cultivation.
"What a fast sword!" The young man's expression stiffened as he stared at Lin Feng. He couldn't even see how Lin Feng had used his hand to unleash such a terrifying sword, instantly killing two people.
"Sir, we are from the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress. Today's matter—let's call it a misunderstanding, how about it?"
"Misunderstanding?" The crowd glared at the young man with anger, their expressions cold.
Lin Feng's steps continued calmly forward. An invisible aura seemed to emanate from his body.
"Sir, we are from the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress!" Seeing that Lin Feng still wouldn't let it go, the other gritted his teeth.
"So what if you're from the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress!" Lin Feng raised his head and glanced at him indifferently. Looking into Lin Feng's calm eyes, the remaining experts of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress felt a deep fear in their hearts.
"All together, join forces and kill him." The young man said coldly. A terrifying killing intent enveloped Lin Feng. Then, everyone attacked simultaneously. In that moment, Lin Feng felt as if several furious dragons were staring at him, wild and violent demonic energy surging toward him.
"Wind-Thunder Slash!"
Lin Feng's hand casually swept through the space. A dazzling arc bloomed in the void. A crackling sound rang out, and the bodies of those several people stiffened in place. Then, with a booming explosion, their bodies all burst apart. In the space between Lin Feng and them, lightning seemed to flicker endlessly. With a single casual wave, he had killed them all!
For nearly eight months, Lin Feng had tempered his heart in the mortal world, forgetting everything, focusing only on refining his Sword Heart. Where his heart moved, his sword moved. With a casual sword strike, he fused the power of Essences. The seemingly casual sword strike just now had fused Wind Essence and Lightning Essence—not simply using them simultaneously, but a true fusion of Essences into sword technique.
Ordinary attacks, such as using Wind Essence and Lightning Essence simultaneously, meant wind was wind's attack, lightning was lightning's attack. But fused sword technique meant two Essences perfectly integrated—lightning contained within wind, wind blooming with lightning. A single strike for certain kill. Compared to simply releasing them simultaneously, it was countless times more powerful. Killing a few people who didn't understand Essences was effortless.
Of course, Wind-Thunder Slash was just one of many fused sword techniques, and only a simple fusion at that!
Following in the footsteps of the Skyless Sword Emperor, yet walking a sword path uniquely his own—tempering his heart in the mortal world, his heart as still as water, casting aside everything; refining his Sword Heart, in that heart as still as water, there was only a single sword, this heaven and earth, and the power of Essences.
Of course, what was simple power for Lin Feng was enough to stir up stormy waves in the eyes of the townspeople.
Was this the young man they thought had no cultivation?
Was this the handsome youth who never trained?
How could someone so young possess such terrifying power?
With a wave of his hand, the experts of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress were like weeds, easily killed. This was already beyond their understanding.
Shock—nothing but shock!
Lin Feng waved his hand again, leaving all the dragon horses behind. Then he turned and said to Master Xu, "Do you want to relocate?"
These people were from the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress. He could kill them, but he couldn't destroy the entire Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress. Such a terrifying force—if it wanted to harm a small town, it would be too easy, a wave of the hand could annihilate it.
Master Xu looked back at the crowd, then shook his head and said, "No need. From what these people said, they probably came secretly to plunder the treasure in our town. They wouldn't make a big show of it for others to know. As long as we clean up properly, no one will suspect us. After all, there's no one here capable of killing them."
"But I'm worried about the 'what if'." Lin Feng said softly. These people weren't strong—they weren't elite members of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress. Their deaths probably wouldn't cause too much of a stir. But with anything, there was always the fear of the unexpected.
"You're right. I'll have most of the people evacuate first, lay low for a while. If the storm passes, we can come back. At the same time, I'll send people to keep watch. At the slightest sign of trouble, those who remain will scatter and retreat immediately, breaking into smaller groups."
Lin Feng nodded slightly. It was best that Master Xu thought this way. He himself couldn't stay any longer. Because the town couldn't have someone capable of killing these people.
"Better to be careful. It's always good to be cautious." Lin Feng looked at the simple, honest crowd and murmured.
"I will. Besides, from what that person said, the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress is going to represent Long Teng in proposing marriage to the Qiu Family. Long Teng is the Heavenly Dragon Divine Body of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, with a very high status. The marriage proposal will be heavily emphasized, so they probably won't pay too much attention to this side." Master Xu said casually, but his words made Lin Feng's pupils contract violently.
"The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, representing Long Teng, is proposing marriage to the Qiu Family?"
"Yes, I shouldn't have misheard. The Qiu Family should refer to the Qiu Family of the Northern Wasteland." Master Xu naturally knew something of the outside world. The town was at the border between the Northern Wasteland and the Western Wasteland, but still in the Northern Wasteland. Of course he had heard of the Qiu Family.
"I need to leave." Lin Feng said to himself. Then he walked to Little Chen's side, smiled, and rubbed his head. "Little one, train hard from now on. Protect your family in the town."
"Mm." The little one nodded vigorously.
Lin Feng smiled gently, then looked at Ye Xue and said, "The little one can't withstand divine thought power. I'll leave some things with you."
With that, divine thought power shot out from between Lin Feng's brows, straight toward Ye Xue, imprinting directly into her mind.
"Farewell!" Lin Feng moved his mind, and his body soared into the air. A massive terrifying sword appeared beneath his feet, and then he shot away like lightning.
"Uncle Lin..." The little one chased after Lin Feng's direction, but how could he catch up? With a thud, he fell to the ground, but still looked up, constantly calling out "Uncle Lin," with even a few teardrops in his little eyes.
Ye Xue also watched the departing figure, covering her mouth with her hand, feeling an inexplicable sadness.
Everyone watched Lin Feng leave. This departure—perhaps they would never see each other again in this life.
"Uncle Lin, when I grow up, I will definitely go find you!" The little one shouted forcefully toward the disappearing figure in the sky.
