The air was filled with the scent of blood and the chill of death, as everyone watched the scene in silence, except for the unowned horses that galloped wildly.
The leader of the bandits looked at the bodies falling from the horses, his body turning cold. That domineering sword strike was too powerful; even he would have died if faced with it.
"Spirit Martial Realm." The young guards, including Wan Qingshan, were thoroughly intimidated by Lin Feng's sword strike. This person was too strong, not someone they could provoke. No wonder Jingyun treated him differently.
Wan Qingshan felt a cold sweat on his back. Not long ago, he had insulted Lin Feng at will. If Lin Feng treated him like he treated these bandits, wouldn't he...
Wang Bo, sitting in front of the carriage, had a flickering gaze, staring intently at Lin Feng's back.
"Friend, aren't you a bit too ruthless?"
The bandit leader's gaze was fixed on Lin Feng, his eyes filled with fear, hate, and anger.
"When you kill, do you ever think you're being too ruthless?"
Lin Feng's tone was cold. These people, when they kill, are insane, cutting off others' heads with excitement, as if killing is a pleasure. Only when they are about to be killed do they think the other person is too ruthless.
With a step, a sword intent enveloped the bandit leader, making his body stiff.
"Friend, leave a way out. If you go too far, you will face a catastrophic disaster."
The bandit leader's expression was stern, even threatening Lin Feng.
"Leave a way out, but you have already crossed my line."
Lin Feng took a step, and sword qi blossomed.
The bandit leader's gaze sharpened, gritting his teeth, and the long saber in his hand slashed out, releasing a fierce and domineering saber aura.
"Another Spirit Martial Realm."
Wan Qingshan and the others' gazes froze. A bandit leader was actually a Spirit Martial Realm expert. If not for Lin Feng, they would have been unable to deal with them.
Lin Feng snorted coldly, the tip of his sword flicked, and the fierce saber aura seemed to be struck at its vital point, instantly dissipating. Lin Feng's sword continued forward, a simple and unadorned strike without dazzling cold light, but the bandit leader felt that the sword qi, sword intent, and sword momentum were all integrated into this simple strike, condensed and not released.
"Swish..."
A light sound, the long sword pierced the bandit leader's throat without any obstruction. The seemingly slow and simple strike was actually as fast as lightning, the sword like a startled swan.
This was a realm, the realm of the sword. Lin Feng's subtle sword technique was becoming more mature.
"A Spirit Martial Realm expert still couldn't withstand his one strike, how powerful."
The crowd behind him was shocked, intimidated by Lin Feng's strength. Too powerful, the Spirit Martial Realm experts they had longed for were so easily killed by Lin Feng.
Without a glance at the corpse, Lin Feng turned and walked toward the crowd.
"Brother Lin Feng, you are so strong."
Duan Feng smiled at Lin Feng, his eyes filled with respect.
"Brother Lin, as expected of a disciple from a major sect, not someone we can compare to."
Wan Qingshan stepped forward, flattering Lin Feng, a form of his stance.
When a person is only a little stronger, he might be jealous, but if they are much stronger, he will only feel fear or awe.
"A disciple from a destroyed sect, how strong can he be?"
Lin Feng said coldly, his voice tinged with sarcasm.
Lin Feng never considered himself a good person. When he didn't show his strength, Wan Qingshan insulted him in various ways, even insulting his sect and character. Lin Feng didn't act because he was indifferent, and also because of Jingyun and Duan Feng, as he was a guest.
Now that he had shown his strength, Wan Qingshan wanted to flatter him to be friends. Lin Feng was indifferent.
Wan Qingshan's face stiffened at Lin Feng's words, but he didn't dare to be angry. He didn't even have the right to be angry. In front of Lin Feng, a Spirit Martial Realm expert was instantly killed. What was he? If Lin Feng drew his sword in anger, wouldn't he be courting death?
Wan Qingshan trembled and retreated, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.
"Brother Lin Feng, let's go up."
Duan Feng pulled Lin Feng, preparing to board the carriage.
"Master."
At this moment, Wang Bo blocked the carriage, making Duan Feng pause, puzzled, "Wang Bo, what's wrong?"
"Master, this place is not suitable for Young Master Lin Feng. We should give him a carriage for him and his companion to use."
Wang Bo suddenly said, making everyone pause.
He actually wanted to drive Lin Feng away. What did he mean? A Spirit Martial Realm expert by their side would better ensure their safety.
Lin Feng also frowned, not understanding.
"Wang Bo, what are you saying? I get along well with Brother Lin Feng. It's my honor to travel with him." Duan Feng was equally puzzled.
"Master, human hearts are treacherous. You are still young and don't understand."
Wang Bo shook his head, sighing.
"Young Master Lin Feng, how about this? You can choose one of these two carriages, or both, as our gratitude. What do you think?"
Wang Bo turned to Lin Feng and said.
Lin Feng frowned, "What did you mean by that?"
Treachery? What did he do?
"Young Master, why ask so much? Just understand in your heart." Wang Bo shook his head.
"I don't understand, please enlighten me."
"Young Master, since you insist, I will say it. Don't blame me."
Wang Bo pondered for a moment, staring at Lin Feng, "Young Master, these bandits are not weak. If they wanted to rob or kill us, it would be easy. Why didn't they act directly after appearing? When we tried to talk to them, they ignored us, only killing until you came over."
"You can ask those bandits."
Lin Feng was puzzled.
"That's what I wanted to say, but unfortunately, those bandits were all killed by Young Master Lin Feng, not a single one left alive."
Wang Bo emphasized.
Not a single one left alive?
Lin Feng finally understood Wang Bo's meaning, staring coldly at him, "You mean I'm in league with those bandits? I killed to silence them?"
"The bandit leader whispered to you, and we didn't hear it."
Wang Bo didn't directly answer Lin Feng, making Lin Feng's gaze sharpen. He was also puzzled by that whisper.
"Then what do you think I want from you?"
Lin Feng asked with a cold laugh.
"Exactly, Wang Bo, you are overreacting. Not to mention Brother Lin Feng isn't that kind of person, even if he were, what do we have that he would want with his strength?"
Duan Feng couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.
"Master, you are still young and don't see the severity of the situation." Wang Bo shook his head, sighing.
"Master, let me put it this way. You should know who sent you to the capital, your cousin."
"I know." Duan Feng nodded.
"Since you know, do you also know the complicated relationship between your cousin and the Wolf King?"
Duan Feng was slightly stunned, why did Wang Bo bring up the Wolf King.
"I know, I have several cousins, and they don't get along." Duan Feng responded.
"Since you know, think about it. The Yunhai Sect was destroyed by the Wolf King, and Young Master Lin Feng survived this disaster and coincidentally appeared in Yunyang Town, meeting us. Doesn't this seem too coincidental, Master?"
Wang Bo's words left Lin Feng speechless. From his tone, it seemed he thought Lin Feng had betrayed the sect, worked for the Wolf King, and was spared by the Wolf King, who then deliberately sent him to Yunyang Town to meet Duan Feng.
"Wang Bo, you are overthinking it. Brother Lin Feng could easily kill us all."
"Indeed, but don't forget why your cousin sent you to the capital. Lin Feng's coincidental appearance, then killing the bandits and saving us, did we not receive Lin Feng's favor..."
"Enough."
Lin Feng's cold voice interrupted Wang Bo. His meaning was clear, he wanted Lin Feng to leave. No need to waste words.
Pulling back the curtain of the carriage, Lin Feng said to Meng Qing inside, "Meng Qing, come down, let's go."
"Okay." Meng Qing nodded slightly and got off the carriage.
"Lin Feng, let me try to reason with Wang Bo." Jingyun said urgently.
"Brother Lin Feng, you and Sister Meng Qing can stay in the carriage. I trust you." Duan Feng tried to persuade.
"No need, I, Lin Feng, am not that shameless." Lin Feng glanced at Wang Bo and said to Duan Feng and Jingyun, "We'll meet in the capital."
Saying that, Lin Feng led Meng Qing away.
"Young Master Lin Feng, this might be a misunderstanding. The offer of the carriages still stands."
Wang Bo said.
"No need, thank you."
Lin Feng ignored him, not looking back. His face wasn't that thick. After being insulted so much, how could he use the other party's carriage?
Fortunately, he had killed a few bandits, and there were still a few horses he could use.
"Can you ride a horse?" Lin Feng asked Meng Qing.
"No." Meng Qing shook her head.
"Would you like me to teach you?" After a moment's thought, Meng Qing looked at Lin Feng.
"Teach you?" Lin Feng was taken aback, looking at Meng Qing strangely, "Ride a horse?"
Meng Qing's eyes fixed on Lin Feng, making him smile nervously.
After a moment's thought, Meng Qing nodded thoughtfully, "Okay."
Her words made Lin Feng's eyes sharpen again!
PS: Accidentally reached 100 chapters, hahaha. Not many flowers in the afternoon, so I'm asking for support in the evening. I'm about to surpass the fourth place!
