Chapter 552: Whipped Away by a Branch (Fifth Update)
Chapter 552: Whipped Away by a Branch (Fifth Update)
Lin Feng got up early in the morning and, having nothing particular to do, strolled around the Leng Family’s property. Surprisingly, he stumbled upon his senior brother Chen Guisheng, Leng Hui, and Meng Ping—three elders—sitting and chatting on the lawn. Without any pressing matters, Lin Feng also went over, took a seat, and discussed some points Meng Ping should pay attention to in the future.
However, what Lin Feng didn’t expect was that not long after he sat down, Leng Hao charged over in a furious rage.
"Lin Feng, you scammer!"
Leng Hao, with eyes bloodshot, roared and threw a punch directly at Lin Feng. This punch was delivered with his full strength; the thought of Lin Feng having deceived his sister filled Leng Hao with a desire to punch Lin Feng to death. He showed no mercy whatsoever, completely disregarding the three elders seated beside Lin Feng. The only thought in his mind was to take Lin Feng down and avenge his sister!
"Whoosh!"
This punch was the most ferocious one Leng Hao had ever thrown, accompanied by a howling sound as it hurtled towards Lin Feng, intent on tearing him to pieces. The three old men at the scene were taken aback, completely clueless as to what was going on. They couldn’t understand why Leng Hao suddenly lashed out at Lin Feng, screaming that he was a scammer!
But time waits for no one. While the three elders were still stunned, Leng Hao’s fist was about to hit Lin Feng. Before they could even voice their objections, a loud noise was heard.
"Bang!"
Leng Hao was sent flying through the air and did not land until he had flown six or seven meters, hitting the ground hard.
"Smack!"
A cloud of dust rose from the ground, and it was then that the three elders realized that Lin Feng had not moved an inch from his seat. In his hand, he held a half-meter-long tree branch from the ground. The elders then understood what had happened; Lin Feng had used the branch to send Leng Hao flying!
"Xiao Hao, what are you doing? Stop this at once!" Leng Hui, upon witnessing the scene, was completely bewildered. He couldn’t fathom why his grandson would suddenly act as if he had gone mad. What... what on earth was happening? Regardless, he knew he couldn’t let his grandson continue attacking Lin Feng. Otherwise, what would that make of the situation? Considering Lin Feng to be a guest, and more importantly, the person his granddaughter had finally chosen, Leng Hui saw it fit to promptly scold his grandson Leng Hao to stop, from every conceivable angle Leng Hao had no right to strike!
But why? Why would Leng Hao suddenly act like a madman? What... what in the world had happened to drive Leng Hao to such a state? No matter how hard Leng Hui tried, he couldn’t fathom a reason.
"Xiao Hao, stop it now! That’s Lin Feng!" Meng Ping, witnessing Leng Hao’s sudden attack, was utterly shocked. He never imagined Leng Hao would lash out so unexpectedly and was equally puzzled about what could have made Leng Hao react so violently towards Lin Feng. Meng Ping suspected Lin Feng might have done something utterly infuriating. With that thought, he too hurriedly spoke up to persuade Leng Hao; by no means could they let Leng Hao continue to attack Lin Feng. Lin Feng was there to save his life, and he couldn’t possibly allow Lin Feng to be wronged there...
"Xiao Hao, stop at once! Let’s talk this over slowly!" Chen Guisheng was also extremely confused. He thought to himself that Leng Hao had always been a good kid, so why was he suddenly attacking his junior brother? He wasn’t worried about a cultivator like Lin Feng, but regardless, this was an inexplicable situation. Why was Leng Hao attacking Lin Feng as if he had lost his mind? What... what was going on? The best course of action now was to have Leng Hao stop first, then talk it through slowly. He was really eager to know what had happened that made Leng Hao act so aggressively towards Lin Feng. There must be some misunderstanding; otherwise, Leng Hao would not act this way.
Yet Leng Hao didn’t listen to the three elders. On the contrary, without acknowledging them, he quickly got up from the ground and roared again, charging towards Lin Feng with another punch fueled by a roaring wind.
"Lin Feng, I want you dead!"
"Whoosh!"
Lin Feng was also quite helpless. He didn’t know what had happened to make Leng Hao suddenly lash out at him. But Lin Feng was not about to sit and take a beating. Seeing that Leng Hao was now blinded by rage, Lin Feng didn’t show any courtesy. He used the branch he had picked up from the ground just before to send Leng Hao flying again.
"Bang!"
"Smack!"
This time, Leng Hao flew nearly ten meters before crashing heavily to the ground. Lin Feng had already been merciful; otherwise, this punch would have inflicted serious injuries on Leng Hao.
"Leng Hao, stop this ridiculous behavior," Lin Feng said, his anger rising upon seeing Leng Hao’s current state. He didn’t know what had triggered Leng Hao, but there was a limit; even if he was Leng Mei’s brother, he couldn’t keep this up. With that thought, Lin Feng issued his warning, signaling Leng Hao to cease his antics. They should sit down and talk things out properly.
"Xiao Hao, stand right there!"
"Xiao Hao, stop!"
"Xiao Hao, hold your hand!"
The three elders spoke again, urging Leng Hao to halt his assault on Lin Feng. This situation was extremely odd to the trio; it was the first time Leng Hao had ever ignored their words, and the elders couldn’t comprehend what had infuriated Leng Hao to such an extent that he would lash out at Lin Feng so recklessly. What on earth could have happened? The elders racked their brains but failed to understand what could have led to this outburst in the morning.
"Lin Feng, you big liar! I will definitely take care of you, you big deceiver!" Leng Hao got up from the ground again, seemingly oblivious to the existence of the three grandfathers. Seeing Lin Feng calmly sitting in the chair infuriated him even more. The thought of his beloved sister being deceived by Lin Feng reignited his fury, and he charged at Lin Feng once more, throwing caution to the wind.
"Whoosh!"
A heavy kick aimed at Lin Feng, who was sitting on the chair.
"Bang!"
"Snap!"
"I’m going all out against you!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
"Snap!"
...
Time and again, Leng Hao picked himself up and recklessly hurled himself at Lin Feng, only to be sent flying by Lin Feng’s hand...
"..." Leng Hui was utterly baffled by the scene before him. Why had his grandson, Leng Hao, suddenly gone mad? Leng Hao completely ignored his words and bit the name ’big liar’ with so much resentment as if he wanted to beat Lin Feng to death on the spot. What on earth was going on?
Watching Leng Hao ignore Lin Feng’s warnings and charge at him like a red-eyed bull, Leng Hui shook his head. He had been trying to intervene, but his grandson was acting as if possessed, deaf to his pleas, leaving him at a loss.
However, Leng Hui didn’t blame Lin Feng for knocking Leng Hao to the ground. He felt this was beneficial for Leng Hao, teaching him a lesson that there’s always someone better. Leng Hao had always thought himself to be invincible, and Leng Hui trusted Lin Feng would not inflict serious harm, at most it would be a lesson for Leng Hao. Therefore, he wasn’t worried.
But seeing Lin Feng easily swat Leng Hao away time and again with a casually picked up twig while remaining seated was astonishing. Leng Hui knew Lin Feng was highly skilled, but he hadn’t realized Lin Feng’s skill level was so terrifyingly high. Leng Hao was young, but a bona fide A-level peak master, nearly invincible among his peers, now bested by what seemed an ordinary twig in Lin Feng’s hands. This indicated that Lin Feng’s martial prowess had reached an unfathomably high level.
It seemed ever more correct to have Meimei paired with Lin Feng. With someone of Lin Feng’s formidable ability at her side, Meimei would surely not be disadvantaged. As for the current situation with Xiao Hao, it was best to let Lin Feng subdue him completely. Leng Hui felt a flicker of anger himself; he couldn’t understand why Leng Hao had become so irrationally enraged against Lin Feng. It was necessary for him to taste some hardship.
Chen Guisheng, too, was oddly surprised, shocked at the unfolding scene. The relationship between his junior brother and the Leng Family was extraordinary; both Leng Hui and Leng Mei were very fond of him. Moreover, he had even saved Leng Hui’s life. Why would Leng Hao suddenly go mad and attack him? No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t figure out what could have driven Leng Hao to such fury.
However, seeing his junior brother swat Leng Hao away repeatedly with a twig, Chen Guisheng was immensely shocked. This was his first time witnessing his junior brother in action, and he knew his junior, being the direct disciple of their master, was exceptionally skilled. Yet, he never imagined his junior could be this powerful. He understood the world of cultivators well; Leng Hao was an A-level master and yet was being beaten down by his junior, and the twig remained unbroken...this could only mean one thing. In front of his junior brother, an A-level master was no more than a child in kindergarten...
Could his junior brother actually be at least AAA-level, or even higher? An AA-level master simply couldn’t do this! Heavens... How old was his junior brother to be such an incredible master? This...this was simply defying the natural order!
With that thought, Chen Guisheng’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Lin Feng, unable to accept how such a young man could be an extraordinary master...
Meng Ping was even more shocked at the sight before him. He never dreamed that the young man who had cured his illness, Lin Feng, was such a formidable master. He was aware of Leng Hao’s caliber—he could compete with his own guards—but in front of Lin Feng, he seemed like nothing more than a child, repeatedly being sent flying. Lin Feng appeared to be in his early twenties; how could he possibly be so powerful? This was inconceivable!
