Chapter 560: Didn’t You Say You Could Block It? Then Try Taking Another Kick!
......
Lu Ding didn't like hearing these words.
Damn, they're already jumping in his face, and he's supposed to hold back?
Xi Feng had also regained his composure.
Only now did he understand.
Lu Ding wasn't some ordinary investigator like those from White Ridge.
This was a tough opponent!
He couldn't confront him head-on.
He immediately chimed in: "Special Envoy Lu, aren't you being a bit too excessive? I only said one sentence. Even if my attitude was..."
Lu Ding turned his gaze toward him, words following: "Alright, you shut up. You're talking too much nonsense, I don't want to hear it.""You think you can block? Then block another kick from me."
Lu Ding pressed forward, same stance, same movement, same side kick.
But this time, he rose on his toes.
His speed was so fast it seemed like teleportation, arriving before Xi Feng in the blink of an eye.
A straight kick delivered.
The air friction from high speed created white mist rings that burst from his toes, forming concentric circles that traveled up his leg.
The sound of sonic booms exploded through the room.
The windows instantly shattered into fragments.
BANG!!!!
With that one kick.
Xi Feng thought he could still block it, just suffering minor injuries at most. After all, the previous kick had already let him gauge Lu Ding's cultivation level.
Just mid First Restriction stage.
This level of power should be his full strength.
Who would have thought.
When this kick actually landed on him, he finally understood that his assumptions were completely wrong!!!
Not good, this guy practices body refinement!!!
The formidable power was unstoppable.
He watched as the various secret technique glows on his hands were kicked into shattered fragments by pure physical force.
Even the arms he used to block were instantly twisted and deformed beyond recognition, his internal organs displaced, his exquisite Western suit bursting open at the back.
Xi Feng's body flew backward uncontrollably once again.
He slammed heavily into the wall.
BOOM!!!!
Xi Feng's entire body flew out through the external wall, accompanied by bricks, stones, and dust. A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed through the air as he followed a parabolic trajectory from dozens of meters high, crashing into the greenbelt below. He tumbled and staggered, plowing a deep trench, before finally lying in the grass with blurred consciousness.
He weakly looked up.
He saw Lu Ding standing at the broken section of the external wall, looking down at him with a disdainful gaze.
Is that all?
And he dared to shout and make noise at him?
As for whether someone might say Lu Ding was too brutal, super-masculine...
The other party had already started questioning and assumed a posture ready to fight, even displaying his extraordinary phenomena.
Should he still engage in confrontation, determine who's right and who's wrong, then you say you have your reasons, I say I have mine, still can't reach agreement, and still have to fight?
Then what's the point of all the nonsense in between?
Must he wait for the opponent to strike first, take a hit himself, and then retaliate to not be considered brutal?
If talking alone could solve everything, then there would be no wars in the world.
Lu Ding was a special envoy, representing the dignity of Great Han. With his status here, he absolutely couldn't lose even a bit of face.
Suffer humiliation?
Maybe in the next lifetime.
He didn't like eating that stuff. Whoever enjoyed it could have it.
Xi Feng in the grass tried to stand up.
But the extent of his bodily injuries simply couldn't support this desire of his.
After squirming a few times, he finally collapsed heavily to the ground, unconscious.
Only then did Lu Ding turn around.
He looked toward Xi Tao and Xi Yinan in the room.
"Special Envoy Lu, you..."
Lu Ding spoke, responding to his unfinished words: "Family Head Xi, do you have an opinion?"
Even when his own younger daughter was beaten, Xi Tao had been prepared to endure it.
How could he possibly have an opinion about Xi Feng getting beaten?
He denied it: "No."
"My daughter obstructed the special envoy's official duties. The special envoy administering minor punishment as major warning is appropriate."
"My son intended to cause trouble without reason. The special envoy promptly intervened to prevent him from making bigger mistakes. Xi Tao should be thanking the special envoy instead."
Lu Ding didn't know how much of this was genuine.
But since Xi Tao provided his own way out and walked down it himself, it saved a lot of trouble.
Lu Ding nodded: "Then please, Family Head Xi, after returning, properly manage your young ladies and young master. Make sure such incidents don't happen again."
He emphasized the words "young master" and "young ladies."
Making Xi Tao feel somewhat awkward inside.
"Certainly, certainly. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first and not disturb Grand Duke Lu further."
"Fine, go ahead."
After Xi Tao announced his departure, he led Xi Yinan to help up the unconscious Xi Feng from the grass.
On the way back.
Xi Feng woke up.
Moving his nearly broken body, he looked toward Xi Yinan beside him.
Perhaps because of embarrassment, or some other emotion.
Even though no one asked him, he started speaking on his own:
"As expected of a special envoy, he really has some skill. This time I underestimated him. Next time I definitely won't be so careless!!"
If only Lu Ding were here.
He might have praised him, saying at least he was a genius cultivated by the family, still having some brains.
If it were some brain-dead person, they'd probably immediately start disparaging Lu Ding to make excuses for themselves.
But Xi Feng didn't. He first raised Lu Ding up a bit, then found the excuse of underestimation for himself.
After all, someone specially dispatched by Great Han definitely wouldn't be weak, which in a way verified the authenticity in his words.
Xi Yinan supported him, saying somewhat sympathetically: "Second brother, don't go looking for trouble with Grand Duke Lu anymore."
"We can't contend with him."
As she spoke, Xi Yinan roughly recounted what happened in the interrogation room.
Only then did Xi Tao understand why those families hadn't replied to his messages.
When he heard that a Fifth Restriction expert had died so casually.
Xi Feng instantly sobered up, leaning back.
With both feet off the ground, his intelligence had reclaimed the high ground again.
When it came to Xi Yinan's matters, he was impulsive. But regarding other matters, this guy was shrewd as a monkey.
Now that Xi Yinan said to forget it, that intelligence and calculation cultivated since childhood returned to him.
His eyes shifted, his calculations clicking into place.
"You're saying that this Grand Duke Lu told you to spread word of how arrogant he is, while also forbidding you from revealing his intelligence to Dong Minglong, right?"
Xi Yinan nodded: "Right."
Although she said this, Xi Yinan was still concerned about Dong Minglong.
Lu Ding was too terrifying.
Although she didn't know what enmity existed between them.
But it didn't matter, because regardless of what enmity it was, she didn't think Dong Minglong could contend with Lu Ding.
Xi Feng understood—it seemed this Grand Duke Lu had some enmity with Dong Minglong.
Then this was easy to handle.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Although they fought today, no discord, no concord. Although he was stubborn verbally, in his heart he understood the terror of Lu Ding's combat power.
This was a fact. He could accept defeat, was convinced inwardly. What he said earlier was just to save face, spoken for his younger sister to hear.
Moreover.
He had long been displeased with Dong Minglong. That kid had come to the Xi Family several times when they were young, and damn if his eyes didn't almost fall out staring at his sister, mother, and eldest sister.
Typical wolfish ambition, still wanting to enter the hall!
Relying on smooth talk, he charmed the three women in the family into such happiness.
He didn't know why, but they inexplicably liked Dong Minglong so much.
Displeased!
Xi Feng was very displeased!
He always felt Dong Minglong had big plans. Although he considered Dong Minglong might have designs on his younger sister, he wasn't thinking boldly enough—actually, Dong Minglong wanted them all!
After all, he was the Dragon King.
Precocious!
When others were still using that thing to pee and play with mud, the Dragon King was already researching other uses for that thing.
A flash passed through Xi Feng's eyes: "Father, why don't you first find an excuse to send mother away, don't let her return in the short term. And eldest sister too—you should also find an excuse. Doesn't she still have many unresolved matters at her sect?"
"Don't let her return for now!"
