# Chapter 248: Fight or Not, You Must Fight

"Everyone, rise."

Duan Wuya waved his hand, and the crowd immediately stood up, but their hearts could not calm down for a long time. The position of Imperial City Guard Commander, such an important post, had changed hands just like that.

From Duan Wuya's eyes, one could not even see any trace of surprise, as if the position of Imperial City Guard Commander could not stir too many **waves** in his heart.

"Yu Ji, now that you are the Imperial City Guard Commander, you should know what to do yourself." Duan Wuya said indifferently once more.

Yu Ji nodded slightly, then bowed and said, "Your Highness, Yu Ji will take the men and leave now, to protect the peace of the Imperial City."

"Mm, go ahead."

Duan Wuya waved his hand, and immediately, tens of thousands of troops gradually departed. Around the Execution Platform, only the Broken Blade City **Legion** remained. At this moment, no one could threaten them anymore.

The faces of Duan Tianlang and his son were extremely ugly. Duan Tianlang wanted to kill Liu Canglan, but at the critical moment, Lin Feng and Duan Xinye appeared, rushing here, turning everything to dust. Liu Canglan had left alive.

As for Duan Han, he wanted to obtain Liu Fei. He threatened Liu Fei with Liu Canglan's life, saying that if Liu Fei was willing to be with him, he might spare Liu Canglan's life. But Liu Fei hated him to the bone, let alone becoming his woman.

What made them even more depressed was that Lin Feng had now become the Crimson Blood Marquis, possessing his own fiefdom. Additionally, the position of Imperial City Guard Commander had been taken away by Duan Wuya. Today, they had suffered a complete defeat.

All of this was because of one person — Lin Feng.

At this moment, the father and son's gazes both fell on Lin Feng, their eyes icy cold.

Lin Feng's gaze also turned, landing on Duan Tianlang and his son, killing intent bursting forth.

"Lin Feng, let's end this matter here for now."

Duan Wuya sensed the cold killing intent on Lin Feng and said in a low voice. Duan Tianlang was the Celestial Wolf King, a prince, his royal uncle, a member of the Duan clan's imperial bloodline. He could not be compared to Meng Han, who could be killed at will.

Killing Duan Tianlang was far from the right **opportunity**, and there was no excuse either.

"Mm, Lin Feng naturally obeys Your Highness's command. This matter ends here."

Lin Feng nodded slightly. The soldiers sighed. Duan Tianlang was still alive and well. Had the blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers been shed in vain?

Of course, they did not blame Lin Feng. To have reached this point was already very difficult. Without Lin Feng, Liu Canglan would have been wrongfully executed, and they might have been slaughtered as rebels.

"But..." At this moment, Lin Feng's tone shifted, looking at Duan Tianlang and his son and said, "This matter ends here, but last time, the Celestial Wolf King led his troops to massacre the Cloud Sea Sect. The Cloud Sea Sect ran with blood. I, Lin Feng, as a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect, would not be a true man if I did not avenge this hatred. Therefore, the matter between me and Duan Tianlang and his son is not over yet."

Everyone's eyes were stunned. Not over yet? Lin Feng had actually been a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect. Using this as an excuse, he did not intend to let Duan Tianlang off.

"So that's it. Duan Tianlang led his men to destroy the Cloud Sea Sect. If Lin Feng is a Cloud Sea Sect disciple, this hatred is higher than the heavens. How could he forget it? The enmity between him and Duan Tianlang is too deep, not easily ended. With this reason, even Second Prince Duan Wuya would find it hard to say anything."

The crowd thought to themselves, but saw Lin Feng's gaze turn, looking at the surrounding soldiers, and finally, his eyes fell on Ren Qingkuang.

"Commander Ren, I trouble you to lead the soldiers out of the Imperial City and wait for me in the outer city. Once I finish this matter, I will come to find you."

Lin Feng said to Ren Qingkuang, and immediately, many soldiers shouted out.

"We're not leaving. Where the Commander is, we are."

"That's right, willing to follow the Commander."

The Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry roared loudly, causing the crowd's hearts to tremble. Lin Feng, how young he was, yet he had already gained such prestige in this **Legion**. It was evident that the things he had done had already won people's hearts.

Probably even without Liu Canglan's appointment, they already regarded Lin Feng as their general.

"All of you, get lost. Whoever doesn't leave is going against me, Lin Feng."

Lin Feng scolded coldly, and the crowd's eyes froze for a moment.

"Commander Ren, I trouble you."

Lin Feng swept his cold gaze over the crowd, finally looking at Ren Qingkuang. If they still remained, today's matter would still not be separated from Liu Canglan's hatred. Although the essence was the same — to take revenge on Duan Tianlang — Lin Feng needed to give Duan Wuya an explanation.

Duan Wuya had released Liu Canglan, enfeoffed him as a Duke, and enfeoffed Lin Feng as the Crimson Blood Marquis. All of this was to dissolve the matter. If Lin Feng persisted, it would make Duan Wuya embarrassed.

Therefore, he found an excuse — the excuse of the Cloud Sea Sect being destroyed. So this **Legion** had to leave.

"Alright."

Ren Qingkuang nodded. He could fully understand Lin Feng. Waving his hand, Ren Qingkuang shouted, "All troops, hear my command. Follow me out of the city."

Having said that, Ren Qingkuang turned his horse around and slowly stepped forward. Although the crowd was unwilling in their hearts, they did not defy Lin Feng's words. The sound of horse hooves rumbled as they followed Ren Qingkuang away. Before long, this **Legion** of tens of thousands disappeared from the crowd's sight.

The space seemed to become empty all at once.

Around the Execution Platform, only Lin Feng, Meng Qing, the Crimson Blood Heavenly Sword group, Duan Wuya, Duan Xinye, and Duan Tianlang and his son remained.

At this moment, Duan Tianlang's eyes narrowed, staring sinisterly at Lin Feng. This brat still refused to let go.

Duan Wuya also had not expected Lin Feng to be so persistent. But Lin Feng said Duan Tianlang had destroyed the Cloud Sea Sect, and as a Cloud Sea Sect disciple, seeking revenge was only natural.

"Lin Feng." At this moment, Duan Wuya called out to Lin Feng, making Lin Feng turn his gaze, and then he heard Duan Wuya say, "Lin Feng, the Celestial Wolf King is a prince, more noble than the Marquis position. You cannot touch him."

"I know."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, causing a trace of confusion in Duan Wuya's eyes. Since he knew, then what did Lin Feng intend to do?

"Your Highness, the Celestial Wolf King is a prince, with a revered status, high above. I naturally would not offend him."

Lin Feng said indifferently, making the crowd even more puzzled.

But then Lin Feng continued, "However, in the past, the Celestial Wolf King brought his son Duan Han to massacre my Cloud Sea Sect. Duan Han was even more arrogant than anyone, looking down on everyone. He fought with me, saying I could not even block one of his sword strikes, humiliating me. Now, Young Prince Duan Han is here, and I, Lin Feng, have been enfeoffed as a Marquis. I should have the qualifications to speak with the Young Prince, right? Here, I, Lin Feng, request the Young Prince's instruction."

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately understood. Lin Feng's target was not Duan Tianlang, but Duan Han.

Lin Feng was challenging Duan Han to a battle.

But now, how would Duan Han dare to accept the challenge? Thinking back to that day when he stepped into the Cloud Sea Sect, how majestic he was. But in the battle with Lin Feng, he was still somewhat **flustered**.

By now, Lin Feng was already far stronger than him. Duan Han had lost even the courage to fight Lin Feng.

Duan Han's face was ugly, his eyes fixed on Lin Feng, his expression unpleasant. How could he dare to accept Lin Feng's challenge?

"No need. Duan Han and I still have matters to attend to. No time."

Duan Tianlang coldly replied.

"Matters?" Lin Feng sneered. "Celestial Wolf King, when you led your men to slaughter the Cloud Sea Sect, did you ask the Cloud Sea Sect's people if they agreed to let you massacre them?"

Duan Tianlang's eyes narrowed slightly. Ridiculous. How could they possibly agree?

"Celestial Wolf King, after the Princess was taken away, your men surrounded me. When you arrived, you also wanted to kill me. Did you ask me if I had time?"

Lin Feng ignored Duan Tianlang and continued on his own, "Also, Celestial Wolf King, you and your son, for your own selfish desires, put hundreds of thousands of soldiers in a deadly situation, yet you yourself fled the battlefield. After returning, you slandered General Liu and wanted to kill him. At that time, did you ever ask the people of the world if they agreed?"

Lin Feng's voice grew louder and louder, a cold killing intent gradually blooming. The always calm Lin Feng, at this moment, finally released his surging rage.

Strength — that was the right to speak. There was no such thing as asking for agreement or not.

Lin Feng stared at Duan Han, a **demonic** smile flashing at the corner of his mouth, extremely cold as he said, "Duan Han, back then you led your troops to the Cloud Sea Sect, looking down on everything, and fought with me. But that battle was not finished. Today, I, Lin Feng, return the courtesy and challenge you to battle."

As Lin Feng's words fell, his foot suddenly stepped forward. The challenge was just an excuse, an empty phrase. Duan Han, you fight or not, you must fight.

In the world of martial artists, martial arts reigned supreme over everything.
