Chapter 223: If You've Got the Guts, Let's Have a Go

"You don't need to worry; with my protection, she will be fine," Lin Feng said.

Before Chen Lei could even speak, those bodyguards had already rushed over to surround Lin Feng, and one of them even said, "Are you saying that you alone protecting the young lady is safer than all of us combined protecting her?"

"Kid, you're being way too arrogant!"

"So what if you're actually stronger than Brother Lei? I don't believe that you alone are worth more than all of us!"

"If you've got the guts, let's have a go!"

Lin Wei, standing nearby, was startled; she hadn't expected such an unexpected situation to occur.

Lin Feng's expression, however, remained very calm.

Glancing at these bodyguards, Lin Feng said, "I'm not looking down on you; the fact is that all of you combined don't even compare to me... No, you couldn't even beat one of my hands."

As soon as Lin Feng said this, those bodyguards all bristled with rage!

Chen Lei was also provoked by Lin Feng and said angrily, "Mr. Lin, I admit that as the young lady's junior fellow apprentice, you are indeed very strong, but saying that is really not taking us seriously at all!"

"Are you even qualified for me to take you seriously?" Lin Feng retorted.

"Since you've said as much, fine, let's have a contest! If you can really do what you say and defeat all of us with one hand, then we will all resign from the young lady's service and guarantee we won't appear before you again!" Chen Lei said with a low roar, clenching his fists.

Lin Feng, however, shook his head and said, "Sorry, I have no interest in fighting you."

"Are you afraid?" a young bodyguard sneered repeatedly.

"I just don't want to bully children. After all, beating up you elementary schoolers is meaningless to me; even if I win, it's not glorious," Lin Feng said very casually.

"You fucking piece of shit, you're looking for death!" that bodyguard said through gritted teeth.

It was just then that Lin Jingying on stage took a break, so she came down from the stage with the performance team.

Chen Lei immediately walked over and said, "Young lady, may I borrow your stage for a moment?"

Without waiting for Lin Jingying's reply, Chen Lei had already strode onto the stage.

The rest of the bodyguards also strode onto the stage and stood in position with Chen Lei.

Afterward, they all turned their heads to look at Lin Feng, and some even crooked their fingers at him: "Kid, come on over!"

"Don't tell me you're too scared to fight us!"

"What's the use of just flapping your lips? If you've got the guts, let's spar!"

"I want to see exactly how much you're worth!"

Consequently, all the staff in the hall wore expressions of confusion and disbelief, and Lin Jingying was stunned, unable to understand what on earth was happening.

Lin Feng frowned slightly.

He truly did not want to lay a hand on these bodyguards because bullying them was really boring.

Furthermore, they were Lin Jingying's subordinates; if things really turned too sour, it would be difficult for him to answer to Lin Jingying.

But now, Chen Lei and those bodyguards were provoking him in public, explicitly naming him to fight; how could Lin Feng refuse under these circumstances?

"Junior brother, what is going on here?" Lin Jingying asked angrily.

"Your bodyguards seem to have an opinion of me, so they want to weigh my strength," Lin Feng said.

"Then you still can't..."

Before Lin Jingying could finish her sentence, Lin Feng interrupted her: "I already told them I have no interest in fighting them, but they only became more agitated."

Lin Jingying then turned her head and shouted at Chen Lei and the others on stage: "Stop messing around, get off the stage! This is no place for you to be acting out!"

Chen Lei said heavily, "Young lady, please don't try to persuade us anymore. This Lin Feng is far too arrogant and doesn't take us seriously at all; we must have a fight with him!"

"That's right, young lady, don't say anything more. This is a battle between men, a battle where we stake our dignity and honor!"

"We must vindicate ourselves!"

Lin Jingying was both amused and annoyed, yet she felt helpless.

After all, she could not manifest her Martial Dao strength right now and had no ability to intimidate them; she could do nothing.

Lin Feng finally stood up and said, "Since your bodyguards have said so, fine, I'll play along with them."

"Junior brother, go easy on them. They are my people after all; if you injure them, I'll have to spend money to treat them," Lin Jingying said with a bitter face.

"Rest assured, I have my own sense of measure."

As Lin Feng spoke, he strode onto the stage and walked toward Chen Lei and the others.

Watching Lin Feng and Chen Lei and the others on stage, Lin Jingying stamped her feet in annoyance and said, "What is this all about!"

Lin Wei smiled and said, "Sister Lin, don't worry, my brother will be fine."

"Do you think I'm worried about your brother? Do you think I don't know what kind of strength your brother has?" Lin Jingying said crossly.

The staff offstage were also whispering among themselves by now.

"What's wrong?"

"What's the situation?"

"I know, I know. Those guys in suits are the bodyguards hired by Miss Lin, and they've been working for her for a long time. That young man in casual clothes seems to be Miss Lin's younger brother. After Miss Lin arrived in Jinling, she had the bodyguards stay at the hotel while she went to her brother's house, so those bodyguards are jealous and want to teach that guy a lesson."

"So that's it!"

"They say a beautiful woman is a source of disaster; I didn't believe it before, but now I have to."

Lin Feng naturally heard the discussions coming from offstage, which made him feel very displeased.

But he couldn't explain it; such things only get worse the more you try to clear them up.

"Let's do it, don't dawdle," Lin Feng said.

Chen Lei then said heavily, "Fine, this is what you chose; don't blame us!"

As soon as Chen Lei finished speaking, he lunged at Lin Feng like a fierce tiger descending a mountain. Having learned his lesson from before, Chen Lei didn't dare to be careless this time, and his very first move was his strongest technique—Hurricane Fist!

One could see True Qi surging on Chen Lei's fist, manifesting a violent gale.

The True Qi and the gale converged, forming a wind cone that smashed fiercely toward Lin Feng.

The rest of the bodyguards also unleashed their own Martial Skills, attacking Lin Feng from all directions.

Lin Feng stood in place without moving, merely raising his left hand to wave it lightly, and a surge of True Qi shot out in an arc, instantly shattering everyone's Martial Skill and sending Chen Lei and the others flying back!

With just one move, Lin Feng neutralized all of Chen Lei and the others' attacks, defeating them with effortless ease!

"Did you see that? I only used one hand, and this was just a casual strike."

"This is the gap between you and me."

Lin Feng said calmly, the expression on his face as still as an ancient well, completely devoid of any joy from defeating his opponents.

After all, Chen Lei and the others were truly too weak for him, as feeble and powerless as three-year-old children; even after defeating them, he could not bring himself to be happy.
