Chapter 546: Returning Kindness with Enmity
Yuan Lie, under Lin Feng's single strike, became a man of fire, burning within the flames.
The crowd stared in shock at the scene before them, their hearts trembling slightly. Yuan Lie was a genius?
Why was it that this young man who had appeared, clearly only at the First Layer of the Profound Martial Realm, could suppress Yuan Lie with absolute power, descending like a Fire God from the heavens, majestic and domineering, his body bathed in flames, unparalleled in his tyranny?
The people of the Yuan Clan were stunned. How could this be? The Huo Clan actually had a young man capable of defeating Yuan Lie, and even daring to kill him.
The hearts of the Huo Clan members were all shaken. The young man Lin Feng had saved had a flushed face, his emotions stirred. If he had such power, how could he have let the Huo Clan and Huo Shiyun suffer such humiliation? It seemed he was indeed far from worthy of Huo Shiyun. Lin Feng was the one qualified.
"He was hiding his strength." Huo Jiuyang, his brother, and Huo Yun all trembled inwardly. It was clear that Lin Feng had been concealing his cultivation level. This aura and battle power were clearly at the Fourth Layer of the Profound Martial Realm. How could it possibly be only the First Layer? Lin Feng must have cultivated some secret technique that made them misjudge, masking his true cultivation.
"How could he be this strong?" Huo Yun's face stiffened, ugly. She had been humiliating Lin Feng all along, even thinking of attacking him. But now, Lin Feng was completely suppressing Yuan Lie. She was no match for Lin Feng at all. With the power Lin Feng was displaying now, he could easily annihilate her.
"Do you dare to act, and not fear retaliation from Yuan Tong?"
Yuan Lie shouted harshly, his body already burning, in great pain. If this continued, his true essence power would be incinerated by the flames, and he would be obliterated.
"I told you, I've never heard of Yuan Tong."
A domineering voice spat from Lin Feng's mouth. His body pressed down again, and with a rumbling sound, the ground split further. Yuan Lie's entire lower body was now buried underground.
"Release Yuan Lie."
At that moment, the Yuan Clan members charged over, their true essence energy flaring. If this continued, Yuan Lie would really be killed by Lin Feng.
"Scram."
Lin Feng opened his mouth, and a stream of flame true essence shot out, transforming into a violent flaming serpent that lashed through the air, all of it carrying a scorching, burning intent, incinerating everything.
"Ah..."
In an instant, several people were engulfed by the flame power. Their bodies caught fire immediately, their true essence unable to resist, and they burned directly, writhing in agony.
"Do you know Yuan Tong's cultivation? He is a strong practitioner at the Sixth Layer of the Profound Martial Realm, about to participate in the Snow Domain Grand Competition. You are seeking death. Stop now while you still can."
Yuan Lie was like a madman, roaring wildly. If this continued, he would really die. A wave of fear spread endlessly within him. He had never expected that coming to the Huo Clan would lead him to encounter a strongman like Lin Feng, so tyrannical. Not only was Lin Feng stronger than him, but he also dared to kill him, dared to kill members of the Yuan Clan.
"I forgot to tell you, I'm also here to participate in the Snow Domain Grand Competition." A voice drilled into Yuan Lie's ears. He looked up and saw a cold, murderous smile on Lin Feng's lips. Lin Feng murmured, "So, participating in the Snow Domain Grand Competition isn't something worth showing off and being proud of. Die."
As the words left his mouth, an endless stream of sun fire descended upon Lin Feng, then flowed down his body onto Yuan Lie. With a buzzing sound of blazing flames, Yuan Lie could no longer hold on. His true essence power could no longer withstand the sun fire.
"Ah..."
A miserable scream erupted from Yuan Lie's mouth. Boundless pain coiled around him, tormenting him.
"You treat human life like grass and weeds, so I will treat you like a pig or a dog."
Lin Feng shouted lowly. He raised his palm, then slammed it down fiercely. With a rumbling sound, Yuan Lie had become a man of fire, sinking directly into the ground, disappearing from sight. Only his screams came from beneath the earth.
On the ground, a pit the size of a person appeared, shocking to behold.
After a moment, the sound ceased. Silence fell. Lin Feng stood on the ground, the light of flames still swirling around him. The sun's rays continuously shone upon him, dazzling and radiant, as if he were the Son of the Sun, favored and cherished by the sun.
"How terrifying."
The shock in the crowd's hearts was beyond words. When Yuan Lie first arrived at the Huo Clan, how arrogant and domineering he had been, killing whoever he pleased. But when Lin Feng appeared, he obliterated him with absolute, tyrannical power, unstoppable.
Watching the young man standing on the ground, they all felt as if they were dreaming, too shocking, too surreal.
"Phew..."
It seemed like a long time passed before continuous sounds of exhaling could be heard. Those people stared at Lin Feng, their eyes shifting constantly. Lin Feng had killed Yuan Lie this time, which would surely enrage the Yuan Clan. Yuan Tong would probably come hunting him down soon.
By then, who in the Huo Clan could withstand the domineering and powerful Yuan Tong?
"You killed a member of our Yuan Clan, you killed Yuan Lie. Yuan Tong will not let you off. You will die without a burial place." A figure whose entire arm had been burned off by Lin Feng's earlier breath of flame energy now stared coldly and fiercely at Lin Feng. Lin Feng had to die to vent the hatred in the hearts of the Yuan Clan members. He should be cut into a thousand pieces.
"Perhaps, but at least you won't live to see it."
Lin Feng shouted coldly. His palm trembled, and a burst of sun fire shot out, directly engulfing and devouring that person's body, eventually swallowing him whole in the flames.
Kill. Lin Feng killed the Yuan Clan members just as Yuan Lie had killed the Huo Clan members earlier.
The Huo Clan members clenched their fists tightly, especially the young ones. They felt their blood boiling. This was what they wanted to see. Unfortunately, Lin Feng was not a member of the Huo Clan. If only Lin Feng were from the Huo Clan, how wonderful it would be, to slaughter all these beasts from the Yuan Clan.
However, there were also some who looked at Lin Feng with unfriendly eyes, namely Huo Lao Er and Huo Yun.
"Enough." At this moment, Huo Lao Er could no longer hold back and shouted in reprimand.
Lin Feng slowly turned around, looking at Huo Lao Er, and said coldly, "Are you talking to me?"
"If I'm not talking to you, then who? You killed the Yuan Clan members. When Yuan Tong comes for revenge, will you take responsibility?"
Huo Lao Er glared at Lin Feng. With Lin Feng being so domineering, when Yuan Tong came, who among them could stop him?
"I killed the Yuan Clan members. What does that have to do with you? What does it have to do with the Huo Clan?" Lin Feng said coldly. "You, as the leader of the Huo Clan, watched your own clan members being killed. I am here killing your enemies, yet you dare to reprimand me. How utterly ridiculous."
The Huo Clan members were all frozen in place. Their Second Master was reprimanding Lin Feng, even though Lin Feng had just acted to stop Yuan Lie from killing people.
"What do you know? Yuan Tong's strength is formidable. Who can stop him? You? You are trying to bring disaster upon the Huo Clan. If you want to die, go die by yourself. Don't drag the Huo Clan down with you."
Huo Yun stepped forward, pointing at Lin Feng and shouting, like a shrew.
Lin Feng laughed, a cold laugh. "So, it seems I should have been like the Huo Clan members, watching them be humiliated and killed, and that would have been the right thing to do."
Lin Feng's sarcastic words made the Huo Clan members' faces stiffen. According to Huo Yun's meaning, that was exactly it. They should have let Yuan Lie humiliate the Huo Clan members and kill them one by one, without resistance.
"That has nothing to do with you."
Huo Yun saw many people staring at her, and her face turned ugly.
"It has nothing to do with me, but what does my killing have to do with you? I killed the Yuan Clan members only for Shiyun's sake. Do you think it was for the Huo Clan? For you? You? Are you even worthy?"
Lin Feng spat out a low voice, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Huo Yun's face darkened. "If that's the case, then get out of here now. Go to the Yuan Clan and confess your crimes yourself."
"For someone like you, I should go to the Yuan Clan and confess?"
Lin Feng felt a sense of bitter amusement.
Huo Yun turned to Huo Jiuyang and said, "Uncle, in my opinion, we should capture this man and send him to the Yuan Clan. At the same time, we should send Shiyun along as well. Only then can we spare the Huo Clan from Yuan Tong's wrath. This is what we must do."
"Yun Jie."
Huo Shiyun's face turned ugly at Huo Yun's words. The Huo Clan members also had ugly expressions. What kind of logic was this? Lin Feng had helped their Huo Clan, and now they wanted to capture him and send him to the Yuan Clan?
"For the sake of the Huo Clan, we must do this."
Huo Yun seemed to speak with great righteousness. Huo Jiuyang looked at her, his expression not good either.
"Big Brother, Huo Yun is right. It seems that this is the only way we can spare the Huo Clan from disaster now. You know Yuan Tong's methods. Moreover, he is about to participate in the Snow Domain Grand Competition. The Empire values him. We cannot afford to provoke him."
Huo Lao Er also spoke up.
