Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 495: A Gentleman’s Battle

"Who are you?" Zhu Tao looked at Lin Feng standing at the doorway instinctively starting to circulate his spell, as the pressure from the young man in front of him was simply too immense. Intuition told him that this youngster was certainly not ordinary. Yet it was very strange, how could such an impressive youth have ended up in the Golden Triangle? He definitely was not a nobody—the kind of person who could make Zhu Tao feel endangered must be an AAA-class master. Who... who exactly is this person? He had heard of no such individual among the Prominent Families...

"Ruan Jun, you didn’t expect me to come here, did you?" Lin Feng didn’t bother with Zhu Tao, coldly staring at Ruan Jun and chuckled, asking him in an exceptionally icy voice.

"You... how did you get here? Uncle Zhu, quickly kill him! It was he who nearly killed me back in Tianhai, someone come!" Ruan Jun was now somewhat creeped out by Lin Feng’s stare, feeling like his hair was standing on end. For some reason, he felt as though he was being watched by a ferocious wolf, his heart filled entirely with boundless terror.

Ruan Jun could never have dreamed that Lin Feng had already made his move against him, although it was merely a potent hypnotic because Lin Feng did not wish for Ruan Jun to die too easily. To dare to strike at him and Qian Duoduo, they had to pay a blood price.

"Everyone outside is already dead, so how about it, are you scared now? Did you not think there would come a day like today when you had Lin Qiu send people to assassinate me and Qian Duoduo?" Lin Feng continued to fixate his gaze on Ruan Jun, his heart surging with uncontrollable rage at the thought of Qian Duoduo’s injuries.

"Impossible..." With Lin Feng’s gaze on him, Ruan Jun was now at a loss for words. His entire body trembled uncontrollably, and cold sweat trickled down his face. All he felt was fear—even with hundreds of people outside protecting him, how could they possibly all die without making a sound? Impossible, impossible...

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Ruan Tiansheng finally realized what had been happening these days. It turned out that all these issues were caused by his son, Ruan Jun, drawing the wrath of this War God. Observing Lin Feng’s camouflage uniform, Ruan Tiansheng also came to understand the true identity of those they were facing—the soldiers who should have been dead in the forest were all brought by Lin Feng. His target was Ruan Jun; it was all because of his son!

"Is there any chance you could spare our lives? I will give you a satisfactory sum," Ruan Tiansheng said, now breaking out in cold sweat. The hundreds of men outside were silenced without a struggle, revealing just how terrifying Lin Feng’s skills were. If nothing went wrong, Lin Feng was definitely at the level of a master like Zhu Tao. Ordinary people were like ants with no ability to resist them. He had seen Zhu Tao’s moves before—bullets couldn’t even reach him! There was absolutely no possible way to escape in front of such a person!

In a desperate situation, Ruan Tiansheng could only firmly propose a condition, hoping to buy their lives back from Lin Feng’s hands, although he knew it likely impossible. Such a master wouldn’t care for money, but Ruan Tiansheng decided to try anyway, thinking even a sliver of hope was worth pursuing.

"Money? What a joke! I’ve come to claim lives," Lin Feng said, looking at Ruan Tiansheng, his expression suddenly turning extremely icy. They still thought they could survive up until now? If he hadn’t wanted to put the commando squad to the test, the father and son would have been long dead.

"It’s all on you now, Old Zhu," Ruan Tiansheng said, realizing he was completely out of options. He bet all his hopes on Zhu Tao, who had been involved with the Ruan Family for decades now. If even Zhu Tao couldn’t handle the situation, then it was fate sealing them off—after committing so many misdeeds, perhaps it was time for their end.

Ruan Tiansheng’s emotions were complex at that moment. After initial rage, confronted with the current circumstances, he became surprisingly calm. There was no chance of escape in such a situation; it would be better to wait and see what the outcome would be. If he was meant to die today, there would be no escape; if not, he would surely be able to leave. With that thought, Ruan Tiansheng calmed down and spoke with Zhu Tao, walking slowly to his son’s side before suddenly showering him with a barrage of furious slaps.

All because of this damned son—if it weren’t for his foolish actions, how could they have ended up in such a predicament? The Ruan Family’s legacy, built up over generations, destroyed in an instant. With that in mind, Ruan Tiansheng, ignoring the injuries on his son, kicked him violently several more times...

However, what Ruan Tiansheng had not expected was that he had actually awakened Ruan Jun with his beating.

"Dad, let’s go quickly!" Ruan Jun seemed suddenly to snap out of it, grabbing his father who had been hitting him, intending to drag him away quickly.

"Go? Go where? It’s impossible to leave. Just **** stand right there! In front of a master like Old Zhu, there’s no way we could escape. Just watch and see what happens," Ruan Tiansheng also realized something was off with his son, who had seemed completely disoriented just moments before, only clearing up after the beating. But now there was simply no escaping; best to wait and see what the end would be.

"Must you take their father and son’s lives?" Zhu Tao looked at the young man before him, feeling very nervous. He had already fully circulated his spell, that young man was still just standing there, not moving an inch, not even reacting to his True Qi. Even though he simply stood there, Zhu Tao felt a tremendous pressure. Instinct told him, this person called Lin Feng was very dangerous, and if nothing unexpected happened, he was most likely going to be even stronger than himself!

"They must die today, you can leave. You are not my opponent, and it’s not easy to cultivate to the AAA-level realm. There’s no need to risk your life for these toxicant traders," Lin Feng glanced at the tense Zhu Tao, instinctively feeling that this man was decent. Besides, cultivating to the AAA-level was not easy; it was not worth dying for them.

"My name is Zhu Tao. Since the old family head saved me and brought me back more than thirty years ago, I’ve been with the Ruan Family. It was with their full support that I became an AAA-level expert. Without the Ruan Family, there would be no me today. Although I might not be your match, even if it means dying in battle, I must do my utmost to protect the father and son’s safety. I don’t want to become someone who reneges on loyalty and honor," Zhu Tao said.

Zhu Tao looked at Lin Feng before him. He too could feel that the upcoming battle was incredibly dangerous, but the gratitude he felt toward the Ruan Family left him no choice but to steel himself and confront the challenge. In his life, the one line he could not cross was betraying trust and deserting honor. Without the old family head, he would have died long ago, let alone having all that he did now!

If it was destined for him to die today, then so be it. As long as he did his best, even if he really died, he could face the old family head with a smile. Now, Zhu Tao was prepared for death, having no confidence in killing Lin Feng before him.

"Fine, I’ll give you that chance!" Having said this, Lin Feng turned around and walked out of the room, standing in the space outside the doorway, looking at Zhu Tao. He had a bit of a good feeling about the man who would not betray or desert at the brink of death; no matter how bad he might be, he wasn’t beyond redemption. Since that was the case, why not give him a chance to fight?

As for the father and son of the Ruan family beside him, Lin Feng believed they wouldn’t have the guts to run away, much less call for help.

"Thank you!" Zhu Tao responded to Lin Feng, then turned back to look at Ruan Tiansheng and his son, his heart filled with helplessness. If he died in battle, the Ruan Family would definitely be annihilated. Shaking his head, he gritted his teeth and dashed out the door, leaving Ruan Tiansheng and his son dumbstruck behind him.

When Ruan Tiansheng and his son overheard the conversation between Zhu Tao and Lin Feng, they were shocked to their core. They never could have imagined that this young man before them was so formidable. In their eyes, Zhu Tao was an invincible War God, having killed countless assassins who came after them, including many A-level and AA-level experts. And yet, today, Zhu Tao seemed resigned to death. This... was unimaginable!

If Zhu Tao was already an AAA-level warrior, then Lin Feng must be...

The Ruan father and son were utterly despondent, holding no hope at all of leaving alive today. In the presence of such experts, they were no more than ants, incapable of escape...

"Let’s go have a look too," Ruan Tiansheng finally decided. Before his death, he wanted to witness the fighting prowess of Lin Feng, who had daringly come alone to the Golden Triangle and mercilessly killed hundreds of guards. This would be the last time they witnessed a true expert in action. With that, he turned and followed out of the room, standing at the doorway, staring at Lin Feng and Zhu Tao in the courtyard.

Ruan Jun also followed his father, Ruan Tiansheng, out of the room. Now, his heart was filled with endless regret. Why did he foolishly insist on Qian Duoduo’s death? Had he known about Lin Feng being such an abnormal person around Qian Duoduo, he would have never provoked him, even if it meant death. It was because of his rashness that the entire Ruan Family was facing their doom today...

...

"This Windbreaker Sword I just obtained recently, so don’t hold back. Let me see your full strength, go ahead." Looking at the man named Zhu Tao before him, Lin Feng had a good impression of him. Under the current circumstances, Lin Feng also wanted Zhu Tao to die a glorious death. Not for anything else, but because he still preserved loyalty and honor, facing a life-and-death situation without fleeing. Such a person deserved a chance for an honorable death in battle.

With that in mind, Lin Feng took out the Windbreaker Sword and faced Zhu Tao with utmost seriousness. This was a mark of respect for a person, nothing more. At the same time, Lin Feng also felt Zhu Tao was not doing himself justice. Lin Feng had long realized that Zhu Tao had reached the peak of the AAA-level, but he did not leave this place and still remembered the Ruan Family’s kindness. Such character was indeed very commendable. Therefore, Lin Feng chose a formal confrontation instead of directly engaging in combat.

"This Ancient Sword, called ’Destroy,’ was acquired by the old family head under a fortunate coincidence. I have never used it before. If I die, please keep it safe." Zhu Tao looked at Lin Feng holding his sword, facing an overwhelming and dominant aura that surged toward him. This aura signified the gap in strength. Although Zhu Tao was also a peak AAA-level expert, he did not believe he could reach that extent. Under such conditions, he had no confidence in defeating Lin Feng.
