Chapter 327 Who to Ask?
Wang Anjun quickly led his junior brothers and sisters to the side of the airplane and realized those men were all members of a special operations squad. He instantly tensed up, knowing the situation all too well. These were his subordinates, and he knew exactly what level they were at. Whoever reduced this group to this state, sitting at the entrance of the plane in grey, had to be an AA-ranked late-stage master, or even higher!
Who exactly was he, and why had he knocked out all his men and sat at the plane entrance so nonchalantly? What was his purpose? Could it be that he was here to kill his junior brother and sister? With this thought, Wang Anjun’s mind urged him to rush forward. Many years ago, with the help of his master, he had broken through to AA rank and then cultivated his way to the peak of AA rank; yet he had been stuck at this bottleneck ever since, unable to break through again due to the absence of his master.
His juniors were right behind him, and as long as he was alive, he had to ensure their safety at any cost—he was their senior brother after all. Deciding this, Wang Anjun was about to charge when Lin Feng suddenly pulled him back. With a puzzled expression, he looked at his junior brother, not understanding what he meant. Clearly, this grey-clothed man was targeting the three of them. If they didn’t defeat this man, they couldn’t board the airplane. So why was his junior brother holding him back?
"You’re no match for him, leave him to me. You just need to protect our senior sister, and don’t distract me," Lin Feng said, his eyes fixed on the man ahead. He was wondering if this man was connected to the Li Family. If he really was aligned with the Li Family, his senior brother would undoubtedly be in great danger. Even he had almost been outmaneuvered last night and nearly turned the situation sour.
"Junior brother, be careful!" Wang Anjun didn’t bother with formalities. As the master’s true disciple, his junior must be far more formidable than himself. After all, he had broken through in just a few days with the master, while his junior brother had spent four years with him, certainly a super expert.
"Junior brother, you..." Chu Meng tried to pull Lin Feng back. Her junior brother was already injured from the previous night; how could they possibly let him fight today? It would be better for the senior brother and junior brother to face the grey-clothed man together. It was far too risky for the junior brother to face him alone, especially with the unknown severity of last night’s wounds.
Chu Meng was extremely worried about Lin Feng’s condition. He had been injured because of her, and if today he were to risk his life again for her, she would be deeply concerned for her junior brother...
"Don’t worry, I’m fine." Lin Feng said and then slowly walked in Li Daqi’s direction, quickly arriving at the edge of the plane.
Li Daqi, engrossed in a charming conversation with a beauty on the phone, spotted three people approaching from a distance. The young man in the lead was heading straight for him, followed by an incredibly beautiful woman—his target. He hastily bid farewell to the lady on the phone, reluctantly ending the call. It was time to work. The sooner he dealt with these people, the sooner he could return to headquarters.
"From the Li Family?" Lin Feng asked, looking at the man in front of him. The person from last night was from the Li Family and was after his senior sister. Today’s man probably had the same targets: himself and his senior sister. Could he possibly be in league with the person from last night, both sent by the Li Family to kill him and his sister?
"Huh? You know about the Li Family?" Li Daqi was genuinely surprised that this young man in front of him knew of the Li Family. How had he guessed that he was from the Li Family? But knowing the Li Family, he should be aware that they weren’t a force anyone could easily provoke. So why did this young man, after guessing his identity, not just surrender and save himself the trouble?
"Yeah, I just killed one last night. Don’t know his name, though! Just knew he was from the Li Family," Lin Feng spoke casually. He regretted not learning the name of the man from last night. It would have allowed him to extract a lot of information, saving him the trouble of looking for clues.
"What, at your age, you killed someone from the Li Family? You must be joking! You don’t even know how to bluff properly. If you’ve figured out I’m from the Li Family, why not just kill yourself and spare me the effort?" Li Daqi looked at Lin Feng incredulously, finding his statement utterly absurd. How did this young man come to know of the Li Family yet claim to have killed one of its members? That was impossible!
Individuals from the Li Family who roamed the world were all experts of at least AA-ranked late stage. The idea that this young man in his twenties could claim to have killed a member of the Li Family was unfathomable. To kill such experts, only those of AAA rank could do so. However, it was impossible for there to be such a young AAA-ranked pinnacle expert in the Secular World. The Young Master was hailed as a genius among geniuses and had only reached the early stage of AAA rank at this age, and that was with the full support of the Li Family.
Aside from the Young Master, he had never heard of anyone else reaching AAA rank at such a young age. How could that be possible, especially since this man looked even younger than the Young Master? It was even less likely. Surely, he must be bragging!
Moreover, it was an unwritten rule that members of the Li Family out in the world always carried the Li Family’s secret medicine with them. In case they couldn’t win a fight or escape, they could risk everything. Although only for a few short seconds, the medicine could grant them several times their strength, ensuring they could handle their opponent: a desperate situation where both sides perish. Thus, what this young man said was undoubtedly a lie—it was simply impossible for him to have killed someone from the Li Family, he was just blowing hot air.
It was not entirely Li Daqi’s fault for thinking this way, as neither Li Zerui nor Max Dorrell had told him about Li Dongtian’s death. Max Dorrell thought that Boss Li Zerui would tell Li Daqi about it, and Li Zerui also thought that Old Four, Max Dorrell, would certainly inform Li Daqi of Li Dongtian’s incident. As a result of this unfortunate miscommunication, Li Daqi remained completely unaware that Li Dongtian had died the previous night.
"Then you can go ask him." As soon as Lin Feng heard what Li Daqi had said, he immediately realized that he must also be a person sent by the Li Family. Since that was the case, this battle was unavoidable, and it was more straightforward to use fists to do the talking rather than wasting too much time here!
However, this time Lin Feng was more careful. Last time, Li Dongtian’s secret drug almost capsized him. This time, he would not give him any chance to take the drug at all, for that would indeed be dangerous. So, what should he do to ensure a one-hit kill and put an end to all this trouble? His mind raced as he quickly calculated how to deal with the man in gray.
"Huh? Ask who?" Li Daqi was utterly bewildered by Lin Feng’s statement. What does he mean by ’you can go ask him’? Ask who?
"The man now turned into a ghost under the ground," Lin Feng said with an expressionless face.
"Damn it, who do you think I am? Today, I’m going to thoroughly torment you. If I don’t beat you until not a single bone in your body is unbroken, I won’t let you die," threatened Li Daqi, even more furious after hearing the young man before him say such things. He was just a young man in his early 20s, daring to confront him, a AAA-grade middle stage expert, and even talking about having killed a member of the Li Family. His boldness was absurd, as if he was not afraid of his tongue snapping in the wind. Since you’re courting death, I’ll make you regret ever coming to this world!
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Daqi flicked the cigar from his hand, bent his body, and like a streak of gray lightning, charged towards Lin Feng. Initially, he intended to test Lin Feng’s strength with his Fist Aura, but upon further thought, he realized there was no need to test such a young opponent. Fearing that his punch might kill Lin Feng on the spot, he retracted his Fist Aura and aimed a vicious punch at Lin Feng’s waist, only wanting to torment the arrogant young man before him and revel in his suffering.
"..."
Despite the great force and weight behind his punch, Li Daqi held back, only exerting his Cultivation Power to the peak of AA level. If he accidentally killed Lin Feng with a single punch, it wouldn’t be fun. He was determined to torture Lin Feng properly, to his heart’s content, until he was dead.
Seeing the ferocious punch from Li Daqi, Lin Feng noticed at a glance that this man was different from the one he had killed the night before. This one was a master of internal skills because he did not have the same imposing manner as the man from the previous night. If his guess was right, this man should be a AAA-grade expert. Having already dispatched an AA-grade peak expert, Lin Feng knew that if the Li Family sent anyone lower than AAA-grade, they must be out of their minds.
So, if he just purposefully held back his power, it was probably because he was afraid of killing him and wouldn’t be able to play. With that in mind, Lin Feng decided to do this...
"Swoosh"
"Whoosh!"
Lin Feng also deliberately suppressed his strength, dashing forward and throwing a punch at Li Daqi’s arm. This punch barely reached the late stages of AA level, and even though it made a howling sound as it cut through the air, it lacked the overwhelming power of Li Daqi’s punch.
Li Daqi did not expect this young man to dodge his punch, which instantly made him reassess Lin Feng. "This young man is so fast," he thought. Then seeing Lin Feng’s punch coming, Li Daqi felt amused; this punch was just at the power breaking through to the late AA level. It was certainly impressive for such a young age to have reached late AA level, which explained his earlier bold words. However, such a punch landing on him would be nothing more than a tickle, while his own punch was sure to cripple Lin Feng!
With that in mind, Li Daqi abandoned all defense, ignoring Lin Feng’s punch completely, flipped his wrist, and went for Lin Feng’s ribs with a heavy chop of his hand! He also did not release his True Qi, fearing that he might kill Lin Feng instantly. Relying solely on the strength of his palm, he figured he could surely break Lin Feng’s ribs. Once Lin Feng was down, he would be at his mercy!
