Chapter 401: Unforgivable
"Kill!"
Lin Feng's icy voice echoed through the space. A beastly roar rang out as Qiongqi's body instantly pounced forward. With a single swipe, blood blossomed as two members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had their heads directly torn apart.
The others witnessing this terrifying scene trembled in their hearts, their faces turning pale. They wanted to flee but found their bodies completely drained of strength. Fear had filled their hearts completely.
This demonic beast killed too easily—a simple, effortless slaughter. Even a cultivator at the First Layer of the Profound Martial Realm had its neck bitten off in an instant and died. Let alone them.
"Run!"
Despite their overwhelming fear, the word "escape" still dominated their minds.
Their feet trembled as they scattered in all directions, hoping that fleeing in different directions would give them a better chance.
"You will all die. From now on, anyone connected to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, I, Lin Feng, will kill them all!" Lin Feng spat out an ice-cold declaration. Kill. Kill them all.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect wanted to kill everyone he knew. Then he would kill everyone connected to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Whoever dared to stand with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect against him, Lin Feng would kill them.
"Chi..." Another faint sound of a head being torn apart rang out. This was already the eighth member of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect killed by Qiongqi.
With Qiongqi's terrifying speed, did they think they could escape? Could they?
In no time at all, everyone who had come to surround and kill Duan Feng and Jing Yun was dead. All of them had been killed one by one by Qiongqi. As for Lin Feng, his body had not moved even once from start to finish. His eyes were merely cold. Killing these people did not require his intervention.
"Roar!"
A low, guttural roar escaped Qiongqi's mouth. Its mouth and claws were stained with human blood. In its eyes, there was still an undeniable ferocity. Beyond that ferocity, there even seemed to be a hint of excitement.
Qiongqi was an ancient ferocious beast. Bloodlust was its nature. Being tamed like a docile cat, as it had been before, was its most painful memory.
"So terrifying." Duan Feng and Jing Yun both stared at the demonic beast Qiongqi. They hadn't seen Lin Feng for a few days, and now he had such a terrifying, ferocious, bloodthirsty beast by his side.
"Brother Lin Feng, you should hurry back to the Heavenly One Academy first," Duan Feng suddenly spoke up.
Jing Yun also nodded: "That's right, Lin Feng. With so many experts, Meng Qing and Lan Jiao definitely can't handle it."
"No rush!"
Contrary to their expectations, Lin Feng slightly shook his head. Did they think killing Meng Qing would be that easy? Not to mention Meng Qing's own strength, just considering the Heavenly One Academy, Lin Feng believed that as long as Meng Qing and Lan Jiao were within the academy, nothing would happen to them. Second Prince Duan Wuya, Vice Dean Long Ding, and Senior Ren Wo Pingsheng would not allow the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to act recklessly.
Especially when it came to harming those close to him.
Lin Feng was certain that when the critical moment came, someone would step in to help him. Given what Duan Wuya had done before, he always wanted Lin Feng to owe him a debt, even though Lin Feng didn't know Duan Wuya's true purpose.
"Don't worry, Meng Qing will be fine." Seeing Jing Yun and Duan Feng's confusion, Lin Feng reassured them. Then his gaze fell on the other two people.
Feng Ting and the old man.
Seeing Lin Feng's gaze upon them, both of them froze slightly. Their eyes were complex as they looked at Lin Feng—filled with deep hatred, but also a trace of fear.
"Jing Yun, how did you and Duan Feng come to know them?" Lin Feng asked casually. That day at the Sword Viewing Peak, these two had been driven away. Now they had appeared beside Duan Feng and Jing Yun.
"Duan Feng and I came to the Nine Dragons Mountain Range to train. We encountered them by chance. At the time, her family's guards had rebelled, wanting to kill the old man and defile her. Duan Feng couldn't stand it, so he killed some guards and saved them both." Jing Yun explained. "And... and Duan Feng..."
She paused, glancing at Duan Feng before falling silent.
"And Duan Feng fell for this woman, only to be used by her to hunt demonic beast cores," Lin Feng finished her sentence. And that was exactly the truth. From Feng Ting's behavior just now, who couldn't see that she was using Duan Feng? She was utterly heartless and ungrateful.
A flicker of pain passed through Duan Feng's eyes. Sometimes, liking someone was just a momentary thing. Feng Ting was the first girl he had ever liked, but she had used him. In the moment of danger, she had completely severed their relationship, even kicking him while he was down by claiming she had a grudge against Lin Feng.
Jing Yun silently nodded. The truth was exactly as Lin Feng had said. Duan Feng had fallen for Feng Ting, and she had used him to hunt beast cores.
Lin Feng's gaze shifted, landing on Feng Ting and the other person. This made both of their hearts tremble slightly. Lin Feng's eyes were so cold.
"We'll leave now," Feng Ting said, lifting her foot to leave. They didn't want to face Lin Feng.
"Stop!" Lin Feng's voice rang out. Leave? Did they think they could leave so easily?
Feng Ting's steps stiffened slightly. Then she slowly turned around and looked at Lin Feng, asking, "What do you want?"
"What do I want?" A cold aura emanated from the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. He said indifferently, "Just now, I heard you say that you have some grudge against me and wish you could kill me. Now that we've met, why don't you come and kill me?"
Feng Ting didn't know how to respond to Lin Feng's words. Yes, she and the old man beside her had indeed said that.
"This is the second time. Last time, I let you go. This time, not only do you not feel grateful that Duan Feng saved your lives, but you actually used him to do your bidding. And when danger came, you immediately wanted to leave. Ridiculous. Without Duan Feng, you would have died long ago. If I hadn't appeared this time, you would have died again. So the two of you owe us two lives."
Lin Feng spat out an ice-cold voice: "Now, both of you die."
"Both of you, die." Lin Feng's words sent terror into the hearts of Feng Ting and the old man. They looked at Lin Feng with anger in their eyes. Lin Feng actually wanted to kill them.
"Brother Lin Feng." Duan Feng was also stunned by Lin Feng's words. He called out to Lin Feng. Although Feng Ting had used him, he found it hard to accept her death.
"Duan Feng, some things can be forgiven, but some things cannot. She used your feelings, made you risk your life for her, and when trouble came, she completely cut ties. Where in this world is there such a good deal?" Lin Feng turned back to look at Duan Feng and said calmly, "They have already made their choice. When you were in danger, they didn't show even a shred of gratitude. Instead, they kicked you while you were down. Since that's the case, take back their lives."
Lin Feng looked at Duan Feng's still somewhat immature face and said firmly, "Let me be the villain. You need to understand that in this world, you don't owe anyone anything. There's no need to give unconditionally for others. And when you truly meet someone willing to give unconditionally for you, you must be grateful and cherish that bond. No one owes you anything either."
Lin Feng's thinking was simple. In this ruthless world where strength reigned supreme, no one owed anyone anything. Duan Feng had never owed Feng Ting anything, but he had saved her. If Feng Ting had been grateful, that would have been fine. But she hadn't valued Duan Feng's sacrifice. She had betrayed his devotion. Since that was the case, why should Duan Feng continue to give? He could take it back. Take it back unconditionally.
Duan Feng fell silent upon hearing Lin Feng's words. These were things he had never thought about before.
"Both of you, will you die by your own hands, or shall I do it?" Lin Feng said coldly, causing Feng Ting and the old man beside her to be greatly alarmed. Lin Feng really wanted them dead.
"I don't think you'll kill yourselves either." A look of disgust appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. Repaying kindness with enmity, being heartless and ungrateful—these were the people Lin Feng hated the most.
His body flickered, and Lin Feng disappeared from his spot. Feng Ting and the old man's faces were both filled with terror. Then, they saw an eerie blade light bloom in the air. The next moment, their bodies silently fell to the ground.
Dead. Lin Feng played the villain and killed Feng Ting and the other person without mercy.
This was a ruthless world. Lin Feng only cared about the people around him. Anyone who targeted those close to him or threatened the lives of those he cared about deserved to die.
PS: Brothers, now you know why I didn't dare to announce an update rule before, right? Mo Xi has become a commander again. What can I say... I owe 29 chapters. I want to die. This is what they call pain and pleasure at the same time!
