Chapter 1075: Accessories
Chapter 1075: Accessories
Unexpectedly, the old man who was entangled in a fight with Wu Gang and the others suddenly turned his head towards Ling Feng, his eyes wide with anger as he bellowed, "How dare you!"
"Huh?"
Ling Feng was taken aback; his Mind Soul Art had not taken effect!
Moreover, that guy had actually realized it was him who had launched a sneak attack from the side!
In his astonishment, Ling Feng noticed that the other person’s body instantly turned into a streak of black smoke, rushing straight toward him!
The distance between the two was over thirty meters, but the opponent arrived in a blink of an eye, so quickly that Wu Gang only had time to utter a small part of the word ’mind’, failing to complete it!
Facing the overwhelming momentum, Ling Feng didn’t feel a trace of fear. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and swung the God Slayer Saber directly at the foe!
"Boom!"
In the semi-open space above the rooftop, a shockwave burst forth, and within a nearly hundred meter radius, everyone felt an intense shock.
Even Zheng Ge and the other ordinary people couldn’t withstand it; their ears oozed fresh blood from the vibrations!
Following the loud noise, someone caught a glimpse of a faint green light speeding away towards the northwest corner and vanishing in a flash.
But Wu Gang and the others on the roof had not noticed this; they all ran towards Ling Feng instead.
Because Ling Feng was now lying on the ground, gasping for air, motionless!
"Mr. Ling, how are you?"
The bodyguards of Du Hao, who had seen him before, ran over and asked loudly.
Ling Feng waved his hand, speaking in a low voice, "Don’t touch me, let me lie down."
During that collision, his internal organs had suffered injuries, presenting countless minute fissures!
Fortunately, they had not shattered; otherwise, he would have to enter a state of suspended animation and it would take a very long time to repair his organs.
But even just fissures were painful. Although not severe, they caused symptoms of internal bleeding, so Ling Feng could not afford to move recklessly. He could only lie there and use all his Spiritual Power to repair every damaged cell.
After hearing his words, Du Hao’s men did not dare to make any rash moves, while Wu Gang approached and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Ling, how do you feel now?"
"Give me some time, and I’ll be able to stand up!" said Ling Feng.
"Good, then I’m relieved!"
Wu Gang nodded, glanced down at the lawn below the villa, then said, "Please excuse my departure, I still have some family matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave now!"
"I understand!" Ling Feng nodded.
Afterward, Wu Gang didn’t say much; he just leapt down.
He left, but Du Hao quickly arrived at the rooftop and came over to ask, "How’s it going?"
"The opponent is tough; it’s been a long time since I’ve been this seriously injured!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
"It seems like you didn’t kill him, that person looked like he managed to escape," Du Hao said gravely.
Ling Feng wryly smiled, "That’s right. I shattered his heart meridian, but that person isn’t a living being, so he didn’t die, which is a bit of a shame."
"No worries, he must have also been badly injured; he definitely wouldn’t have left otherwise," Du Hao consoled.
"Mhm."
Ling Feng nodded, feeling a bit of recovery from his injuries, and then said, "Please help me sit up."
The two people beside him carefully propped him up.
After taking a deep breath, Ling Feng asked Du Hao, "Uncle, did you come to the Wu Family this time prepared?"
"Yes, Old Wu informed me last night. He said there might be trouble at his home today and hoped I could come by," Du Hao nodded.
"Are you good friends with Mr. Wu?" Ling Feng inquired.
Du Hao nodded again, "We’re old family friends; our ancestors have known each other for a hundred years!"
Ling Feng was surprised, "That long?"
"Yes, back then the Wu Family was engaged in maritime shipping, transporting silk and porcelain to Nanyang, then bringing back spices and ivory and the like from Nanyang. That’s when our interactions with the Shakya Tribe started!" Du Hao said.
Ling Feng was even more astonished, "That means, my conjecture might be wrong!"
"What?"
Du Hao didn’t understand and asked with confusion.
Ling Feng gave a bitter smile, feeling that it would be too complicated to explain, so he said, "Let’s wait until my injuries are a bit better before discussing it."
Having said that, his expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Not good!"
Just as Du Hao was about to ask what was wrong, Ling Feng immediately said, "Quick, don’t let Elder Wu kill Wu Hua!"
"Hurry up!"
Without a second word, Du Hao directly gave his orders to his subordinates.
But it was still too late.
By the time the subordinate jumped down from the building to the lawn, Wu Hua had already been beaten to death by an enraged Wu Gang, mouth spitting fresh blood, eyes revealing an extreme unwillingness to the end!
Seeing this, the subordinate of Du Hao shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"What happened?"
Seeing this detail, Wu Gang asked with confusion.
"Mister Ling meant for us to not kill him first; I was too late!" Du Hao’s subordinate said.
"Oh, I’ll ask him what’s going on then."
Wu Gang nodded and turned his head to look at Wu Dahai, "Don’t move this kid’s body for now!"
"Understood."
After the instructions, Wu Gang turned back to the roof.
When he heard that Wu Hua was already dead, Ling Feng gave a bitter smile, "I still had some doubts that remain unresolved, what a pity."
"What did Mister Ling want to ask? If I know, I would tell all without reservation!" Wu Gang asked.
"It’s about an accessory on his body, emitting a strange energy. I originally thought that item was handed down by the Wu Family, so I had consequently lost some respect for the Wu Family as well!" Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.
"Accessory?"
Wu Gang was briefly startled, then he turned to the edge of the rooftop and called out loudly to Wu Dahai below, "Search his body, see if there are any special jewelry pieces!"
A moment later, Wu Dahai brought up a purple-red copper piece.
It was a pendant about the size of a thumb pad, precisely the one that was worn on Wu Hua’s chest.
"Is this what Mister Ling is looking for?" Wu Gang asked.
Ling Feng nodded, "Exactly, it’s this item!"
"This thing must have a history of at least two hundred years, but I can assure you, it’s definitely not something from my Wu Family!"
Wu Gang looked at it carefully and then looked up to say.
"I understand now, perhaps it was passed to him by that white-haired elder just now? That person must have a significant connection with someone known as Prince Longyu!" Ling Feng said.
"Oh?"
Wu Gang’s eyes flashed, then he said, "How do you know about Longyu?"
Seeing his look, Ling Feng knew that he must have some understanding of Longyu, so he said, "I’ve previously encountered an organization called Xinglong Gang, which is said to have been founded by him, and that this person is still alive!"
"Hiss!"
Wu Gang inhaled sharply, "How could that be possible!"
Ling Feng smiled, "I also find it impossible, but the people from Xinglong Gang had no reason to lie to me, hence Prince Longyu is also one of the targets I’ve been investigating recently."
