Chapter 1023 - 1021: I Don’t Want to Kill You
"Not bad," Lin Feng nodded as he observed the children’s performance and simply remarked. They had already made a rudimentary entry into their training and displayed a fighting power that he genuinely considered impressive. Of course, that wasn’t enough, and in the future, he would make these children even stronger!
Hearing Lin Feng’s praise, smiles spread across the children’s faces. They had indeed enjoyed themselves immensely; finally, they had gotten some payback. In less than a month, they had undergone earth-shattering changes, capable of defeating even the members of the junior group—a notion utterly unthinkable before! Now they were even more eager for Lin Feng to make them stronger. As long as they could grow stronger, they were willing to do anything.
"What exactly is going on here!"
At this point, Xia Qingfeng could no longer sit still. He stood up from his seat and flashed over to the side of the young men who had been defeated, bellowing furiously. Today’s developments were definitely abnormal; the juniors hadn’t used their real strength, and there had to be a problem! In fact, he had already guessed it must be Lin Feng’s doing, but it wasn’t yet confirmed, and he had to find out what had happened.
"Young Master Feng, there’s something wrong with Lin Feng!"
"Young Master Feng, our strength has been sealed! We only have the power of the initial stage of the Mortal Realm!"
"Young Master Feng, we really can’t be blamed for this; it’s Lin Feng’s doing. Otherwise, we could not possibly have lost!"
...
Following the recent events, the members of the junior group had also guessed what was happening. Xia Xian had been sent flying through the air by Lin Feng’s remote pointing gesture, and they had experienced the same phenomenon. Afterwards, their strength seemed to be sealed, which surely was Lin Feng’s doing; otherwise, they would not only possess their current level of power. They were now utterly terrified of Lin Feng, worrying whether their sealed strength would ever return. If they could recover, then that was fine, but if not, what would they do in the future...
Sealing strength!
Hearing what the youngsters said, Xia Qingfeng was stunned, his heart filled with shock. To seal someone’s power was an astonishing proposition, something unheard of before. If he hadn’t witnessed it with his own eyes today, even he wouldn’t believe such a thing was possible. He couldn’t comprehend how Lin Feng, a mere mortal from the Secular World, could possess such defiance of the heavens!
Regardless, for the honor of the junior group, to recover their pride, he had to step in today. His gaze turned to Lin Feng, and by now, he was absolutely furious. Although he didn’t understand how Lin Feng had sealed his men’s power, in his eyes, it wasn’t a problem. He was a Transcendent Realm Expert, an insurmountable S-class realm within the Secular World. Even if Lin Feng were truly ranked third in the Secular World, he could not possibly be his match.
"Lin Feng, I want you dead!"
After Xia Qingfeng coldly uttered this statement, he began to circulate the Shocking Dragon Pride Technique. Instantly, his Gang Qi erupted, creating whirlwinds that stirred the surrounding area for dozens of yards, raising a fierce wind. A potent aura burst forth from him, like a shockwave, spreading around and even sending the young men on the ground rolling away to a distance.
Then, with the hum of a blade, a sword flew from his back into his hand. The three-foot-long sword was emblazoned with cloud patterns, dazzling and clearly a peerless weapon. He glared coldly at Lin Feng and pointed the sword tip at him. A murderous aura emerged, instilling a sense of dread as if Xia Qingfeng had transformed into a deadly assassin, a killer who slaughtered without hesitation!
Right now, he had true intent to kill Lin Feng, looking at him as if he were already dead. He believed that once he truly struck, Lin Feng would certainly not survive. The cold murderous intent he emitted caused the surrounding children and juniors to shiver in terror; the extent of Xia Qingfeng’s power was truly frightening!
"Is that supposed to be murderous intent?" Lin Feng looked at Xia Qingfeng and shook his head dismissively. Since that was the case, he thought he might as well play along. After saying this, Lin Feng’s gaze towards Xia Qingfeng changed, as if it was no longer human but that of a demon emerging from Hell...
Xia Qingfeng was about to say something when he suddenly saw the look in Lin Feng’s eyes, and he froze instantly. In a flash, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his sword-holding hand began to tremble involuntarily. This terrifying sensation made him feel as if Lin Feng was a demon who had walked out of Hell, suffocating him with fear.
He had felt how horrifying Lin Feng’s murderous aura was. Initially, he thought his presence alone would scare Lin Feng to death, but now he realized he was utterly wrong; Lin Feng’s murderous intent far surpassed his own. Comparing an expert who had killed a person or two to a demon who had annihilated nations and slain millions was impossible; they were simply not on the same level. His once-prideful murderous intent was now completely suppressed by Lin Feng, and he found himself affected by it, engulfed in a blood-colored Hell.
No, this couldn’t go on!
Realizing his current predicament, Xia Qingfeng knew that if things continued this way, he might not be able to make a move. Although he didn’t understand why Lin Feng emitted such intensely unspeakable murderous intent, if he couldn’t find a way soon, he would be completely overwhelmed by this momentum, and taking action would be impossible.
"Ah... Kill! Shocking Dragon Strike!"
Suddenly, Xia Qingfeng shouted, using his roar to break free from Lin Feng’s aura. He then flashed, bursting forth at incredible speed towards Lin Feng. His velocity was so fast that the children and juniors could barely see him move—this was Xia Qingfeng’s true power.
"Whoosh..."
Xia Qingfeng, wielding his short sword, made it whizz through the air straight towards Lin Feng’s chest with a piercing cry. His approach was swift, like a fleeting image, and he seemed to become a giant dragon, the Ancient Sword in his hand akin to the Dragon Fang, appearing beside Lin Feng in the blink of an eye, poised to thrust into Lin Feng’s chest. Just as he was about to strike Lin Feng, who hadn’t dodged at all, Xia Qingfeng was filled with triumphant glee. In his mind, Lin Feng was as good as dead, facing his strike without even attempting to dodge—it was as good as suicide!
What a joke!
Xia Qingfeng was about to get his comeuppance!
...
Upon seeing Xia Qingfeng making his move, Xia Jianping and the other kids brightened up with eager anticipation for the spectacle, the outcome of which seemed all too predictable. Teacher Lin could take down an Arrogant Sky Golden-Horned Beast in seconds; dispatching Xia Qingfeng would be child’s play. This was a self-inflicted humiliation for Xia Qingfeng—no one else could be blamed.
This kid is as good as dead!
To dare challenge Young Master Feng, he’s really overestimating himself!
...
Upon Xia Qingfeng finally making his move, the youths of the junior division collectively breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Qingfeng was the top expert among the young generation, a Transcendent Realm Expert deemed invincible within the Secular World. Surely today spelled doom for Lin Feng! After all, Lin Feng had already been frozen with fear by Young Master Feng; to think he had the audacity to come to the Xia Family was simply courting death!
However, what happened next completely defied their expectations...
"Snap!"
Just as Xia Qingfeng was about to strike Lin Feng, out of nowhere, he was sent flying dozens of yards away, a mist of blood hanging in the air. A hush fell over the scene...
What just happened?
Why was Young Master Feng sent flying?
...
The youths of the junior division were stunned, petrified to the core, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. Not one of them had seen how Lin Feng had struck, or how Xia Qingfeng had been sent flying. It was all too bizarre...what on earth had happened...
Haha, he flew!
I knew it would end like this!
...
Xia Jianping and his group wore knowing smiles. They had witnessed Teacher Lin’s miraculous prowess before, and now the junior division was about to learn the hard way. Serves them right for their earlier arrogance; they deserved to be put in their place by Teacher Lin.
This...this...how could this happen!
Xia Qingfeng picked himself up from the ground, his mind in a daze. He was an expert on the cusp of entering the Middle Stage of the Transcendent Realm, how could he possibly be flung away so mysteriously when dealing with full force against a mere Mortal? He hadn’t even seen how Lin Feng made his move—this couldn’t possibly be real!
But it was then that he felt an intense, burning sensation on his face and finally realized what had happened—Lin Feng had slapped him away. His face was already swelling, which filled him with the rage of a wounded lion, and he bellowed at Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, I will kill you!"
His voice filled with unbridled fury echoed through the great hall, deafening to all present—a testament to the extent of Xia Qingfeng’s rage. The thought that he, a member of the venerable Xia Family, had been sent flying by a mere mortal was unfathomable. If he didn’t kill Lin Feng and use his blood to wash away this disgrace, he, Xia Qingfeng, would no longer bear the Xia name.
Yet just as his vow ended and he prepared to attack again, Lin Feng’s voice emerged.
"You’re a member of the Xia Family, and I have no wish to kill you. Consider that slap a lesson. If I had wanted to, you would be dead already."
Lin Feng spoke casually. Now that he was a teacher for the Xia Family and seeing as the Xia Family Ancestor had been decent to him, he didn’t want to kill within the Xia Family’s grounds. Besides, this Xia Qingfeng was just a kid, and Lin Feng wasn’t in the mood to do more than teach him a lesson. After speaking, Lin Feng turned and prepared to leave with Xia Jianping and the others. There was no reason to waste more time here; it was time to take the kids to attend to other matters.
But just because Lin Feng wanted to leave didn’t mean the others would let them.
"Shocking Dragon Startler Breakthrough!"
The unbearable humiliation drove Xia Qingfeng to madness. Without another word, he let out a furious bellow and unleashed his ultimate move, the Shocking Dragon Startler Breakthrough. In an instant, the short sword in his hand burst into a faint white light that quickly intensified, becoming dazzlingly bright in the blink of an eye, so much so that some of the kids had to shut their eyes against the glare!
At that moment, Xia Qingfeng aimed the short sword at Lin Feng, his stance slightly sinking, and then with a sudden burst of power from his legs...
