Chapter 595: Retribution Arrives
"Scram!"
The young girl swept her gaze over Lin Feng. Seeing that his aura hadn't even reached the Mysterious Martial Realm, a look of mockery appeared in her eyes.
Lin Feng waved his hand, his gaze fixed on the whip lashing toward him. He directly grabbed hold of it. Instantly, the swinging whip froze in place, completely motionless.
"Oh?"
The fiery red girl raised an eyebrow, her gaze turning cold. Another surge of flame shot along the whip, spreading toward Lin Feng's hand. At the same time, she infused her true essence power into the whip, trying to yank it back.
But the whip remained firmly gripped in Lin Feng's hand, not moving an inch. The flame also vanished without a trace.
"Up."
Lin Feng flicked his wrist, and a terrifying force transmitted through the whip. The fiery red girl's body was actually lifted into the air by the whip, causing her expression to shift dramatically.
"Stop."
A cold shout came from the distance. Then, a blur shot toward Lin Feng, and a terrifying force descended upon him.
"Scram."
Lin Feng didn't move. Yun Feiyang took a step forward, his long robe billowing. A domineering aura swept out, accompanied by a thunderous boom. Dust flew everywhere, and the opponent's body was sent flying back.
"Scram."
Another "scram" rang out. Lin Feng tightened his grip on the whip, shaking it violently in the air before flinging it outward. The fiery red girl's body was also sent flying along with the whip. She stumbled backward, taking many steps before finally steadying herself.
Regaining her footing, the girl in fiery red clothes stared coldly at Lin Feng. "How dare you lay a hand on me?"
"I told you to scram," Lin Feng barked coldly. The simple, honest smile was gone from his eyes, replaced by a chilling indifference.
"You're asking for death." The girl's voice grew colder and colder.
"Three."
Lin Feng took a step forward, causing the girl's expression to stiffen.
"Two!"
Another step forward, and Lin Feng spat out another word. The cold aura around him grew increasingly intense.
"Miss, let's go back," said one of her guards, glancing at Yun Feiyang in front of them. This man was not easy to deal with.
The fiery red girl's face darkened. She whistled, and her steed galloped toward her.
"Still want to go harm others?" Lin Feng watched the horse charging toward the girl. He opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of wine vapor. The alcoholic aura spread through the air and instantly reached the horse.
"Boom!"
A violent aura erupted. Flames surged, and the horse neighed in agony. The wine vapor Lin Feng had exhaled turned into flames, igniting directly on the horse's body, burning it alive.
"You..." The fiery red girl watched her beloved horse being incinerated by Lin Feng. Her face turned icy cold as she stared at him.
"One!"
As the word fell, Lin Feng took a large stride toward the girl.
"Let's go." The girl's guard blurred into motion, grabbing her and fleeing at incredible speed.
Watching the retreating figures, Lin Feng didn't give chase.
"Just you wait," a cold voice drifted back from afar. The girl clearly wasn't going to let this go.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, shooting out sharp, cold rays. Having endured the backlash of the demon sword and gained enlightenment of heaven and earth in the mountains, Lin Feng's heart had become more open. The coldness in him had gradually diminished, and the smile in his eyes had grown cleaner and more innocent. But now, the chill in his heart was being stirred up again.
"Lin Feng, we need to be careful. This Mysterious City isn't like Snow Moon. A guard with Fourth Layer of Profound Martial Realm strength definitely belongs to no ordinary force," Yun Feiyang said, walking over to remind him.
Lin Feng nodded slightly. Some things came looking for you, and there was no avoiding them.
"Big brother, did I cause trouble?" Xiao Ya stuck out her tongue, a hint of guilt in her expression.
"It's not your fault." Lin Feng ruffled Xiao Ya's hair, making her glare at him and dodge away, tidying her hair.
Seeing Xiao Ya's cute expression, Lin Feng smiled. He raised the gourd to his lips and took a deep gulp of wine.
"Hoo..."
He exhaled a hot breath of wine vapor. Lin Feng's face grew redder and redder. The matter with the girl probably wasn't over yet. He'd better hurry up and break the medicinal seal, restoring his true essence power.
The Blazing Essence Wine stimulated his true essence, undoubtedly helping him recover faster. At this moment, Lin Feng had already regained true essence power equivalent to the Second Layer of Profound Martial Realm. He was just suppressing it with a concealment technique to avoid arousing suspicion.
Just as Lin Feng had guessed, this matter was far from over.
Not long after, in the area where Lin Feng was, demon beasts circled in the sky.
Lin Feng and the others looked up and immediately saw the fiery red girl sitting atop a demon beast, her gaze sweeping downward. Finally, her eyes landed on Lin Feng.
Seeing Lin Feng, the girl's eyes instantly turned cold. She shouted icily, "Over there."
As her words fell, the demon beasts circling in the air immediately gathered together, locking onto Lin Feng and his two companions.
"So many strong ones, all at Fourth Layer of Profound Martial Realm or above," Lin Feng and Yun Feiyang swept their gazes over the figures in the sky. Among them were even several at the Sixth Layer of Profound Martial Realm. Just as Yun Feiyang had guessed, this force was no ordinary one.
Around Lin Feng and the others, the crowd saw the figures in the sky and quickly retreated far away, staring at Lin Feng's group in surprise.
These three had quite the nerve, daring to provoke someone from the Taishu Clan.
Didn't they know that in this Mysterious City, there were a few forces you simply didn't mess with?
Among them was the Taishu Clan, one of the four great families of Mysterious City.
Mysterious City was a vast city with no imperial family. It had only five strongest forces: the four great families, each ruling over one of the four districts of Mysterious City.
These three were practically asking for death by provoking someone from the Taishu Clan.
"Do you feel regret or fear now?" The girl sat atop her demon beast, looking down at Lin Feng. Surrounded by numerous strong warriors, she appeared lofty and superior, looking down on Lin Feng and his companions.
Today, she had been in high spirits, galloping on her horse, never expecting to run into someone who dared to lay a hand on her. And not only that, he had even incinerated her horse—utterly audacious.
"Regret? Fear?" Lin Feng murmured. What did he have to regret? Regret stopping this girl from striking Xiao Ya? Letting her whip land on Xiao Ya's body?
As for fear, having experienced so much, Lin Feng's heart was already as calm as still water.
"I do regret," Lin Feng said. "I regret not giving you two hard slaps across the face."
The girl's expression froze, her face growing colder and colder. Damn it, was this guy completely oblivious to death? Even now, he dared to insult her, making her feel deeply humiliated.
"Kneel down now and say you regret it, and it might still be too late," the girl said coldly. She wanted to see Lin Feng grovel at her feet. She hated those clear, fearless eyes of his.
"It seems letting you scram was really too easy for you," Lin Feng sneered.
The girl's face turned even colder. "In that case, all of you can die."
"Kill them." She waved her hand from atop her demon beast, issuing the kill order.
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
Wings flapped. A demon beast dove down, charging at Lin Feng. Its sharp claws aimed directly for his head.
"Beast." Lin Feng stomped the ground and punched upward with his bare fist. A terrifying gale howled, blasting toward the demon beast.
"Boom!"
Under Lin Feng's punch, the demon beast was sent flying backward.
"Squeal..."
The third-rank profound demon beast let out a pained cry, unable to fly anymore, and plummeted downward.
"Oh?"
The people's eyes narrowed. This man's strength was terrifying. He could directly clash with a demon beast and even kill it with a single punch.
"Kill him. Kill him," the girl shouted sharply. One terrifying demon beast after another charged at Lin Feng from above, darkening the entire sky.
Yun Feiyang took a step forward, a pressure of heaven and earth descending.
"Let me handle it." But at that moment, Lin Feng's voice rang out, halting Yun Feiyang's momentum. The terrifying pressure dissipated. If Lin Feng wanted to handle it, then let him.
Lin Feng's body relaxed completely. True essence power flowed through him. As the demon beasts dove down, Lin Feng tilted his head back and gulped down mouthful after mouthful of wine from the gourd. The power of his true essence trembled more and more violently.
A layer of true essence radiance seemed to envelop Lin Feng's entire body.
