Chapter 218: The Demon Tiger Appears
Zhou Zhitian then took a deep breath, mobilized the True Qi within his body, and pushed out a palm forward.
This palm was the Martial Skill that Zhou Zhitian had polished for many years—the Hunyuan Ruyi Palm!
Although the power of the Hunyuan Ruyi Palm was not very strong, it was fast to execute and could be retracted or released at will; having practiced it for many years, Zhou Zhitian could already use it with ease.
However, the black-clad person who had suddenly appeared shattered his Hunyuan Ruyi Palm with a single punch, and without losing momentum, struck a punch toward his chest.
"Hehehe, with this soft palm technique of yours, could you even kill a chicken?"
The black-clad person sneered repeatedly, and as his fist imprinted onto Zhou Zhitian's chest, he immediately sent Zhou Zhitian flying backward while spraying blood!
"Zhitian!"
Cheng Shishi's face turned pale with terror, and she let out a shrill, mournful cry.
The surrounding guests were already scared out of their wits by this moment, retreating one after another, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire!
"Who exactly are you!" Zhou Zhitian asked painfully.
"Who I am is not something you are qualified to know!"
The black-clad person said with extreme arrogance, arriving in front of Zhou Zhitian in a single step.
Just as the black-clad person was about to deliver a lethal blow, a voice suddenly rang out by his ear: "Then am I qualified to know your identity?"
The black-clad person turned his head abruptly, only to see a fist expanding infinitely!
Bang!
The black-clad person was sent flying horizontally, crashing into the wall and actually smashing a large hole through it!
"Who are you, and why must you ruin my good deed!" The black-clad person was furious, roaring indignantly as he crawled up from the ground.
Lin Feng said coldly: "Returning your own words to you, you aren't qualified to know who I am!"
The black-clad person gritted his teeth and said: "I know who you are now; you are Lin Feng, and it was at your hands that Blood Fiend and Demon Shadow died!"
"Are you Demon Tiger?"
Lin Feng's expression changed slightly, and he cast a glance at Sun Shaohu in the crowd.
Could it be that this black-clad person before him was actually one of the Eight Great Protectors of the Hidden Demon Sect—Demon Tiger?
And that Sun Shaohu, although he had something unique about him, was not a member of the Hidden Demon Sect; had he misunderstood him just now?
"Lin Feng, you have disrupted the plans of our Hidden Demon Sect several times. Do you really think I won't kill you? Although the Left Elder has given orders not to move against you without authorization, if you push me too far, I won't listen to anyone's orders!" Demon Tiger roared repeatedly.
"Then what are you waiting for? Come over and kill me!" Lin Feng said as he charged toward Demon Tiger.
Who would have thought that Demon Tiger would burrow into the ground and use the Earth Escape to flee!
Moreover, Demon Tiger's voice came from underground: "Do you really think I'm stupid? You are already a Martial Emperor expert; let alone me, even the Four Great Elders might not be able to defeat you! But people always have moments of relaxation; can you guard against me twenty-four hours a day without a break?"
"Lin Feng, you just wait for me; sooner or later, I will come to take your head!"
Demon Tiger's voice disappeared, and Lin Feng could no longer lock onto his aura.
"This Demon Tiger is actually proficient in the Five Elements Evasion Technique. Although you are powerful, Junior Brother, you have practiced for too short a time and haven't mastered enough Martial Skills; I'm afraid you won't be able to catch him," Lin Jingying said.
Lin Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.
Lin Feng then looked at Lei Dong and ordered: "What are you waiting for? Send people to search immediately! Earth Escape cannot be maintained for long; he won't be able to get far before he emerges from underground!"
"Yes, War King!"
Lei Dong bowed in salute and then left at high speed.
And this address of "War King" from Lei Dong directly exposed Lin Feng's identity to all the guests present.
"What? Chief Lei actually addressed Mr. Lin as War King?"
"Could it be that Mr. Lin has already become the Fifth War King of the Dragon Soul?"
"This... I simply can't believe it!"
"Mr. Lin is already a Martial Emperor-level expert; it's not strange at all that he joined the Dragon Soul and ascended to the position of War King in one step!"
"That's right, if I had that kind of strength, I'd get myself a War King title to play with too..."
The guests in the hall all cast looks of envy, jealousy, and even admiration toward Lin Feng, but Lin Feng didn't even look at them, walking with long strides to Zhou Zhitian's side.
Cheng Shishi was so anxious that tears were about to fall, but Lin Feng crouched down to examine him and said: "Stop crying, your man is fine. Although he suffered internal injuries, he will recover after resting for a period of time."
"Will there be any lasting side effects?" Cheng Shishi asked, filled with worry and a sobbing tone.
"No, that punch from Demon Tiger didn't have anything strange about it," Lin Feng said.
Cheng Shishi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhou Zhitian said gratefully: "Many thanks to Mr. Lin for stepping in to save me. If it weren't for you, I fear I really would have died here today."
"Answer my question first: why did Demon Tiger attack you?" Lin Feng asked.
"I... I don't know either!" Zhou Zhitian said miserably.
"You have no grudges or entanglements with the Hidden Demon Sect?" Lin Feng asked again.
"I have never had any contact with the Hidden Demon Sect, let alone any grudges or entanglements. If it weren't for you, Mr. Lin, revealing that black-clad person's identity, I wouldn't even know who he was," Zhou Zhitian said helplessly, sighing repeatedly.
Zhou Zhitian's expression did not seem fake, and only then did Lin Feng let the matter go.
Without lingering at the banquet any longer, Lin Feng took Lin Wei and Lin Jingying and left the place.
"Senior Sister, stop dawdling. The situation has changed; you must move into my villa immediately. As for your bodyguards, let them stay at the hotel!" Lin Feng said in an unquestionable tone.
"But..."
Lin Jingying had only said two words when Lin Feng said angrily: "There is no 'but' about it, do as I say!"
Lin Jingying smiled bitterly: "You are so overbearing now, Junior Brother."
"I am doing this for your own good. I cannot leave my sister behind to go to the hotel to protect you, so I can only have you move to my place. If you are still worried about your bodyguards, then forget it; you can manage yourself," Lin Feng said.
"Understood, understood, I'll agree to you, won't I? I'll go with you now," Lin Jingying said.
Lin Wei, standing to the side, was somewhat dissatisfied and wanted to say something, but after hesitating, she eventually kept her mouth shut.
Demon Tiger's sudden attack meant that the situation had escalated and that circumstances were even more complex.
Moreover, Demon Tiger was proficient in the Five Elements Evasion Technique, coming and going without a trace; as such, even if Demon Tiger was no match for Lin Feng, this guy was still extremely dangerous!
Therefore, Lin Feng's arrangement was the most secure, and she also understood the reasoning behind it, so even if she had further dissatisfaction, she could only force herself to endure it.
Returning to the Shuiyuntian Central Villa, Lin Jingying chose a room on the third floor and settled in.
And Lei Dong very quickly called Lin Feng.
"Did you fail to catch the Demon Tiger?" Lin Feng asked.
Lei Dong said quite helplessly over the phone: "As you expected, it was indeed not caught; the branch's manpower is not enough..."
