Chapter 1030 - 1028: Another One
"Hu!"
In the quiet dark night, the sound of the punch breaking through the air was still very clear. Although no specific technique was used, the speed and strength of the punch were far beyond what an ordinary person could imagine. The fist emitted a white glow and exuded an intense pressure that felt as if it could destroy a mountain, indicating the terrifying power of the punch!
He did not have the intention to kill Lin Feng, as the Family Head had already instructed not to cause trouble with Lin Feng. Even though he was angry, at most he would just teach Lin Feng a lesson. Therefore, he did not use any technique with this punch; he simply wanted to discipline Lin Feng, and by doing so, he would achieve his goal for this visit.
Lin Feng stood still, showing no intention of dodging, as if he hadn’t noticed Xia Hongfeng’s attack at all, which made Xia Hongfeng extremely puzzled. He couldn’t understand what Lin Feng was thinking, why he wasn’t even using Protective Gang Qi. If he didn’t use it, this punch could likely shatter Lin Feng directly.
Deceiving him!
Suddenly, this idea popped into his mind; he assumed Lin Feng must be bluffing. Thinking this, he sneered; since Lin Feng was playing it big, he decided to give him a tough lesson. Not shattering his body but breaking an arm would be quite satisfactory.
With this thought, his punch sped up, suddenly changing direction to attack Lin Feng’s arm. Now, the speed and strength had reached their peak. A white light in the dark night seemed to tear through space, aiming right at Lin Feng’s right arm! With his speed and strength, plus the close distance, no one could dodge it—Lin Feng’s arm was surely doomed!
But just when he was feeling very smug, an accident occurred! Just as he was about to hit Lin Feng’s arm, Lin Feng suddenly made a move. His hand seemed to pass through space in an instant and inexplicably grabbed Xia Hongfeng’s fist, stopping him in his tracks...
"Bang!" A dull sound echoed; a gust of air blew from between them in all directions, as if a strong wind had suddenly picked up, leaving Lin Feng and Xia Hongfeng standing like statues...
This... this is impossible!
Xia Hongfeng’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, dumbfounded on the spot. A punch that could easily shatter a small mountain, that monstrous strength, yet Lin Feng stopped it with one hand—how could this be possible? How could Lin Feng have such strength!
Looking at Lin Feng, he was tremendously shocked. Being a highly skilled fighter himself, he understood that Lin Feng’s strength far exceeded his own. Otherwise, there was no way his powerful punch could be stopped instantly as if nothing had happened!
What terrified him even more was that from the beginning to the end, he hadn’t seen how Lin Feng made his move, nor had seen how Lin Feng managed to grab his fist. This speed was beyond his imagination! Xia Hongfeng now realized that Lin Feng was by no means weaker than him...
Xia Hongfeng was stunned, but Lin Feng wasn’t. Lin Feng reached out and in an instant, appeared next to Xia Hongfeng. Before Xia Hongfeng could react, Lin Feng’s arm lifted ghost-like and slapped Xia Hongfeng’s face.
"Slap!"
A crisp sound rang out, startling in the darkness; Xia Hongfeng immediately felt a burning pain on his face, and his head spun...
This is not good, time to leave!
Suddenly slapped by Lin Feng out of nowhere, Xia Hongfeng immediately discarded the idea of continuing the fight, recognizing Lin Feng’s terrifying power beyond his imagination. He didn’t dare to stay and wanted to flee quickly! But he hadn’t realized that Lin Feng wasn’t ready to let him go yet.
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
...
No matter which direction he tried to escape, Lin Feng blocked him, and slap sounds echoed in the night! In an instant, Xia Hongfeng didn’t know how many times he had been slapped—he felt his head was about to explode, and yet he couldn’t escape, which was incredibly frustrating for Xia Hongfeng...
Quite fun.
Lin Feng watched the man in black turn into a "swollen pig" from the slaps, and couldn’t help but give a faint smile. He had come to cause trouble, so a lesson was due to prevent any nonsense in the future. In the blink of an eye, Xia Hongfeng’s face had swollen several times in size. Lin Feng certainly had no intention of killing him; otherwise, Xia Hongfeng would have died long ago.
What a blockhead I am, how could I forget that!
Suddenly, Xia Hongfeng remembered a way to escape from this predicament—he had a secret technique for escape, which he hadn’t used until now. Immediately activating the technique, his speed suddenly increased several folds, turning into a streak of white light and vanishing from the courtyard.
He finally escaped!
After bolting from Lin Feng’s courtyard, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had at last escaped. Thinking about it sent chills down his spine—he thought to himself that Lin Feng was truly terrifying, terribly so. If he had known it would be like this, he would have never sought out Lin Feng, even if it killed him.
As soon as he thought of Lin Feng’s terrifying speed, his heart tightened, and he continued running for his life. But just as he did, he heard Lin Feng’s voice in his ears.
"By the way, are you ready to streak?" Lin Feng asked with a smile, watching Xia Hongfeng flee desperately. Since he had come, he had to leave behind some memories.
Streak? What did that mean?
Xia Hongfeng, who was fleeing for his life, was suddenly stunned when he heard Lin Feng’s message. He didn’t react to what Lin Feng meant. Did "streak" mean his clothes weren’t on properly?
But just as this thought crossed his mind, something unexpected happened...
"Zzzt..."
In the darkness of night, the sound of fabric tearing suddenly filled the air. In an instant, Xia Hongfeng’s clothes completely shattered, and all his garments disappeared, even the black veil on his face...
Damn it!
Xia Hongfeng almost went mad; he never dreamt his clothes would disappear like that. It nearly made him tumble to the ground. The humiliation in that moment made him spit out a mouthful of blood. Luckily, it was night and no one was around. If the Xia Family saw him now, he would have no face to go on living!
Without time to think about anything else, he immediately covered his lower body and vanished into the darkness, no longer having the courage to face Lin Feng, nor daring to see him again. Such a despicable, shameless, and vile move was something even an Immortal couldn’t bear...
"Not bad, another one streaked!"
Watching Xia Hongfeng disappear, Lin Feng muttered with a smile and then disappeared from the spot, heading back to his room to read. He didn’t care who came; as long as he scared them off to avoid further trouble, he didn’t want to waste time on these mundane matters...
...
In a blink, it was the next day, and Lin Feng was at the training field early in the morning. Last night, he thought of a problem: he didn’t know where to acquire weapons. The children could be in danger when facing Demon Beasts, and having weapons would solve this issue. This was the most pressing problem to address.
"Where can we get weapons and some special items?" Lin Feng asked Xia Jianping, standing beside the children, wanting to find out from him how to acquire weapons.
"Teacher Lin, these items are hard to come by. The Xia Family’s resources are very limited, so unless one reaches a certain age and accumulates enough merit, the family would not issue weapons. The family has strict control over this. Without your appearance, we wouldn’t even have access to the basic Rejuvenating Pills."
Xia Jianping felt it odd when he heard Lin Feng ask this, wondering what Teacher Lin needed weapons for. But he didn’t dwell on it and simply shared what he knew. These things were common knowledge within the Xia Family, but Teacher Lin was an outsider, so it was understandable that he didn’t know.
"If I really wanted them, is there another way?" Lin Feng nodded after hearing Xia Jianping’s words, verifying that he was telling the truth. He had been with the Xia Family for some days now and could feel that the Xia Family indeed had scarce cultivation resources; otherwise, these children wouldn’t grow so slowly. What he cared about now was whether there was another way.
"There is another way. The family’s internal materials are insufficient for distribution, so if one wants these items, they must seek them out in the market. There are some Loose Cultivators at the market, and perhaps you can find what’s needed there. The Xia Family often goes to the market to exchange goods," Xia Jianping replied earnestly, indeed offering another method but requiring a visit to the market. However, he now wondered what Lin Feng intended by asking about these matters.
"Market? There’s such a place?" Lin Feng was momentarily taken aback. He had thought that this region was only home to the four Great Hidden Prominent Families and was surprised to hear about Loose Cultivators and a market.
"Yes, it’s not just the four Great Hidden Prominent Families here. Though they are the strongest forces here, passed down from ancient times and protected by Immortal formations arranged by Immortals, making the Hidden Prominent Families unshakable here. As for other Loose Cultivators, they have organized themselves and established several markets. I’ve heard even the smallest has a range of around a hundred li, though their location isn’t very safe and tends to be chaotic."
At that time, Xia Jianping detailed the situation here to Lin Feng. These things weren’t secrets within the Xia Family, so since Lin Feng wanted to know, there was no harm in telling him.
"Teacher Lin, what exactly are you trying to get hold of?"
"Teacher Lin, although there’s a market, I’ve heard it’s pretty chaotic!"
"Yes, the market is in a special location, and ordinary people can’t enter!"
...
At that moment, some other children asked curiously, not understanding why Lin Feng was suddenly asking about these things. They wondered what Teacher Lin was actually trying to do.
