Chapter 872 Leave...
If they had killed Lin Feng earlier, none of this would have happened. It was all fate. No one could have anticipated that Lin Feng would grow into such a master, a young whelp with such strength, an unbelievable talent like him had never before appeared in the Cultivation World!
If he hadn’t been too confident in his own power, if he hadn’t come to the Nangong Family, if he hadn’t encountered Lin Feng, how much better things would have been. Then, he wouldn’t have been defeated by Lin Feng, left with barely half a life. All his suffering was the result of his own arrogance, no one else to blame. If only he hadn’t hesitated just now and had taken the elixir, he wouldn’t be in his current state.
Thinking this, Li Deming’s eyes went dark, and he fainted completely. He truly couldn’t face such an outcome, devoting himself wholeheartedly to cultivating for nearly a hundred years, and yet he wasn’t as powerful as Lin Feng, a man in his early twenties, even being gravely injured by him. Such a result is simply unacceptable to anyone...
At that moment, everyone was stunned, for the scene before them far exceeded their imaginations. This... this was just too terrifying!
"Family Head!"
"Family Head!"
"Family Head!"
...
It took a good while for the people from the Li Family to react. Where’s the Family Head? Could it be... could it be that the Family Head was defeated by Lin Feng...
At this thought, they all felt fear, refusing to think any further. Rushing like the wind toward the huge pit, they were extremely worried about the Family Head. After such a terrifying event, they didn’t know what had become of him and they didn’t want to witness any mishaps befalling him. The consequences were simply too dreadful to consider!
As they reached the edge of the massive pit and saw the Family Head at the bottom, their vision darkened and they nearly fainted.
Li Deming, lying on the ground, was covered in blood and wounds, his skin looked as if it were singed, his appearance extremely ghastly. Never had they imagined that their invincible Family Head would be defeated by Lin Feng, and so miserably at that.
Upon reaching the Family Head, Li Litian and Elder Du Yun didn’t say a word, they immediately supported Li Deming. Elder Du Yun even stuffed a priceless healing Holy Medicine into Li Deming’s mouth and began circulating his True Qi throughout his body to commence the healing, disregardful of everything else...
And the rest of the Li Family, witnessing this scene, were in total disarray.
How... how could this be possible? How could the Family Head have been defeated!
This... this was just too unbelievable. How could Lin Feng possibly be so powerful!
What in the world happened here? How could there be someone as formidable as Lin Feng in the Cultivation World!
If anything happened to the Family Head... what would become of the Li Family...
...
Now, their minds were completely scattered. They couldn’t have imagined that their Family Head, who had defeated the Old Monster, would be defeated by Lin Feng, and so catastrophically at that. It was simply too incredible to believe. Lin Feng was just a young man in his early twenties; how could he possibly be so powerful? It was utterly unbelievable, the Family Head... the Family Head had actually lost to Lin Feng!
Heavens...
So how powerful was Lin Feng now? There probably wasn’t anyone in the world who could be his match. Even the Family Head had lost to Lin Feng, so who else could stand against him!
With that said, Lin Feng had now become number one in the Cultivation World. This... this couldn’t be real, this couldn’t be true!
Lin Feng was only in his early twenties, how could he be so incredibly strong? It can’t be... it can’t be... it can’t be! No matter how hard they thought, they never imagined that what had seemed an ironclad situation would end up like this. The Family Head not only failed to kill Lin Feng but was gravely injured by him, a turn of events they had never, ever considered possible.
However, the stark reality lay before their eyes, leaving the members of the Li Family no choice but to believe. At this moment, they felt as though the sky had collapsed. The elder patriarch was the Li Family’s Guardian God; if something happened to him, what would become of the Li Family? They had never considered such a problem before and were truly at a loss for how to face this result.
At this moment, a desolate feeling surged in their hearts. Was the Li Family about to disappear from the Cultivation World? If even the elder patriarch couldn’t deal with Lin Feng, then Lin Feng would easily handle them if he so desired—the Li Family would likely be eradicated entirely.
In the face of Lin Feng’s absolute power, the members of the Li Family had fallen into despair; they had completely lost all confidence. Unsure about the future fate of their family, they could only pray silently that Lin Feng would spare them. They were powerless against him...
At this time, Lin Feng was hovering in the sky not far away, silently suspended there, observing everything in the pit below.
Upon seeing Lin Feng floating unharmed, the Nangong Family knew the outcome of the battle—Lin Feng had undoubtedly defeated Li Deming. After such a terrifying strike, even if Li Deming was alive, he would have certainly lost all combat capability. That meant... the Nangong Family had truly survived this catastrophe.
"Too... too wonderful!"
"Lin Feng, thank you!"
"Lin Feng, you’re amazing!"
"..."
...
The Nangong Family was already bursting with excitement, cheering for Lin Feng. At the beginning, they’d been utterly hopeless, and even after Lin Feng arrived, they didn’t hold much hope. They thought, how could a man barely over twenty be a match for Li Deming? But reality had shocked everyone—Lin Feng had truly defeated Li Deming and displayed such terrifying strength... they were at a loss for words.
Initially resigned to a fatalistic defense of their remaining dignity, they could never have expected such a turn of events. Not only did they survive, but they also witnessed the entire process of Lin Feng defeating Li Deming. Such a result made them ecstatic, never anticipating that Lin Feng could be so powerful he could even defeat Li Deming. If that was the case, Lin Feng had become the top fighter in the Cultivation World. Keep in mind, Lin Feng was just in his early twenties with such strength—it was simply astounding. If they hadn’t seen it all with their own eyes, they wouldn’t believe it even in their dreams.
Looking at Lin Feng floating above, their hearts were filled with excitement, feeling an immense sense of pride in his strength. For them, the more powerful Lin Feng was, the better. Lin Feng had been invited by their elder patriarch; this meant Lin Feng must have a very good relationship with him, otherwise, the elder would not have invited him so firmly. Ironically, they had initially doubted Lin Feng’s capabilities. If only they’d known how formidable he was, there would’ve been nothing to worry about!
When Nangong Jingyun sought trouble with Lin Feng and ended up crippled, they had considered asking the elder patriarch to reprimand Lin Feng. But then the elder stated that everything was Nangong Jingyun’s fault and getting injured by Lin Feng was no one’s fault but his own; hence the matter was closed. Looking back, how wise the elder patriarch’s decision was! Had their relationship with Lin Feng been poor because of Nangong Jingyun, the Nangong Family would have ceased to exist today.
This crisis for the Nangong Family had truly ended... it was wonderful. So overwhelmed with excitement were they that they no longer knew what to say.
Nangong He couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction at the scene. It turned out that relying on the Old Monster’s words was fortunate; had they not invited Lin Feng, the Nangong Prominent Family might have been wiped out by now. With Lin Feng defeating Li Deming, the Nangong Family had transitioned from danger to safety. He, as the Family Head, had done his duty for the Nangong Family, preserving his family’s existence.
Watching Lin Feng, Nangong He was overwhelmed with emotion. Lin Feng was barely over twenty and already so powerful. Given time, Lin Feng might become the only person in the Cultivation World to enter the fabled Profound Realm. In that case, Lin Feng would truly become a legend in the Cultivation World...
"Go on, leave; I don’t want to see any of you again." As Lin Feng glanced down at Li Deming being carried away by the Nangong Family’s people, he spoke indifferently from mid-air. He didn’t wish to kill the people of the Li Family; there was simply no need, given the severe injuries he had inflicted on Li Deming. Anyone in the Li Family with a modicum of sense would know what to do next. He spoke simply to signal the Li Family members to depart.
"Let’s go..."
With Li Deming on his back, Li Litian took one look at Lin Feng floating high above. He desperately wanted to rush up and fight to the death, but Li Litian knew he couldn’t do so. Putting aside whether he was Lin Feng’s match, such an act would be outright suicidal. As the Li Family Head, he had to be responsible for everyone; with the elder so badly injured, no one else could afford to get hurt, or it could spell disaster for the Li Family. He, as the Family Head, couldn’t allow such an event to happen.
He could never have imagined that Lin Feng would be so formidable, injuring the elder to such an extent. Now, thinking of seeking revenge against Lin Feng seemed like an unreachable dream. There was no one left in the Cultivation World who could stand against Lin Feng. How could they possibly take such an immense revenge?
Li Litian felt a mix of helplessness and resignation. Against Lin Feng’s absolute power, there was nothing he could do, even if he had the desire. With a resentful glance towards Lin Feng and gritted teeth, he carried the elder and left the area. Other matters would have to wait; for now, the only thing to do was to lead the rest of the Li Family away and seek treatment for the elder.
The many experts of the Li Family also shook their heads at the sight. They, too, were unable to face such an outcome, nor could they confront Lin Feng. If the elder wasn’t his match, what did they amount to? They could only follow Li Litian and depart.
They were filled with a sense of desolation, like the end of days—they had never imagined that the Li Family, once the foremost Prominent Family of the Cultivation World, would be expelled by a young man in his twenties, unable to even resist. This... this...
Their hearts were heavy with countless helplessness, and they didn’t even want to lay eyes on Lin Feng anymore, because they truly didn’t know how to face such an unrivaled master.
