Chapter 224: Joint Attack

"What exactly is your cultivation realm?"

Chen Lei asked in fear, and the other bodyguards also turned pale.

"Is there any need for me to tell you?" Lin Feng said indifferently.

Chen Lei clenched his fists and said, "Lin Feng, I admit you are strong, much stronger than us, but don't be too arrogant; we still have our trump card!"

"Very well, then bring out your trump card now; I'd like to see what your hidden hand is," Lin Feng said.

Chen Lei immediately stood in a horse stance, raised his hands slightly, and the True Qi throughout his body began to mobilize accordingly.

The remaining bodyguards all moved behind Chen Lei, forming a triangular formation, with Chen Lei naturally at the tip of the triangle!

"Everyone, lend me your power!" Chen Lei shouted.

"Captain, it's all up to you!"

"Defeat this guy for us and wash away our shame!"

"Captain, please don't let us down!"

These bodyguards all shouted with great fervor, one after another placing their hands on the back of the person in front of them.

The next moment, their True Qi surged forth, passing forward in layers!

"This is..."

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, then revealed a smile.

He had already seen it.

This was some kind of Joint Attack Technique, concentrating everyone's True Qi onto one person, allowing that person to briefly possess Martial Dao strength exceeding their own realm!

It must be said, this method is indeed very ingenious!

But the weakness of this move is also very obvious, because over thirty seconds have passed, and Chen Lei and the others are still not ready.

Such a long wind-up time is impossible to use in actual combat; after all, an opponent wouldn't be as polite as Lin Feng is now, waiting for them to finish preparing this move!

"Are you not ready yet? It's been almost a minute," Lin Feng said.

Chen Lei and the others had no time to speak, still gathering their strength.

Another minute passed before they finally finished their preparation!

One could see the other bodyguards looking pale, so weak they could barely stand, while Chen Lei's body was condensed with violent True Qi, his aura climbing step by step, already far exceeding the Postnatal Peak!

At this moment, Chen Lei was enough to defeat an Innate Peak expert, and even possessed the strength to contend with a Martial King!

However, to Lin Feng, he was still too weak!

"Take this, Lin Feng!"

Chen Lei let out a wild roar and once again unleashed his strongest Martial Skill, Hurricane Fist!

But this time, the spiral wind cone condensed on Chen Lei's right hand was ridiculously large!

The translucent wind cone was as large as a millstone, emitting a sharp whistling sound as it rotated at high speed, and a swirling gale rose throughout the entire hall!

Those staff members closer to the stage were all frightened pale, retreating in a panic, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

And Chen Lei finally lunged at Lin Feng, striking his face with this punch that had gathered everyone's power!

"Do you see it, Lin Feng? This is the power we have all gathered together; you cannot block this punch!"

"Lin Feng, you've lost!"

"You are no match for us!"

Those bodyguards all shouted excitedly, their faces flushed with intense fervor.

Yet Lin Feng just casually reached out his left hand and grabbed the fist Chen Lei had thrown, and the wind cone condensed on Chen Lei's fist vanished into thin air in an instant!

Furthermore, the True Qi throughout Chen Lei's body fell into dead silence, as if forcibly suppressed, unable to exert even the slightest bit of Martial Dao strength!

"Is that it?"

Lin Feng said with a smile, his face full of mockery.

Consequently, those bodyguards were all stunned, standing there like wooden chickens, unable to speak.

The entire theater hall became deathly silent; one could even hear a pin drop!

"Amazing, too amazing! Who exactly is that guy? Even with all of Miss Lin's bodyguards combined, they couldn't beat him!"

"Yeah, and did you notice? He hasn't moved a single step from start to finish, and he even only used one left hand!"

"Too cool!"

"A Peak Martial Artist! That young man is definitely a Peak Martial Artist!"

"Wait, I recognize who he is. He is Lin Feng, that Lin Feng from Jiangbei! Have you forgotten? A while ago, the three Martial King Elders of the Heaven Sword Sect attacked together, yet were defeated by him alone!"

"So it's him!"

"He is actually Miss Lin's junior brother? How is that possible!"

In an instant, the entire hall exploded.

All the staff members cast looks of awe, envy, and even worship toward Lin Feng.

Especially the female staff members; they all looked at Lin Feng as if infatuated, unable to take their eyes off him!

"Who was it that said I lost just now?"

Lin Feng did not care about the gazes the staff were casting at him, only looking at the bodyguards and asking.

And those bodyguards all lowered their heads deeply, not a single one daring to meet Lin Feng's eyes anymore.

Chen Lei was now ashen-faced, a look of despair appearing on his face.

"Are... are you a Martial Emperor?" Chen Lei asked.

"What do you think?" Lin Feng said.

Chen Lei let out a long sigh, staggered back several steps, looking as if the sky had fallen.

It was at this moment that Lin Jingying shouted, "Have you all caused enough trouble? There are so many people watching; stop making a mess for me!"

Lin Feng then stepped down from the stage with a smile and said, "See, I told you I knew my limits; I didn't injure a single one of your bodyguards."

"Thank you..."

Lin Jingying said through gritted teeth, the corners of her mouth twitching.

Chen Lei and those bodyguards also came down from the stage at this moment.

They all arrived in front of Lin Jingying, yet no one made a sound.

It is unknown how much time passed before Chen Lei finally bit the bullet and said, "Miss, we have let you down. I... we will leave now, and we do not want this month's salary either."

Having said that, Chen Lei turned to leave; those bodyguards each wanted to say something but ultimately followed in Chen Lei's footsteps.

After all, having lost to Lin Feng in front of so many people, they had lost face to the point of no return, and no matter how thick-skinned they were, they had no face to stay here any longer.

Lin Jingying, however, said angrily, "Stop, what is the meaning of this? Are you all resigning collectively?"

"If we don't resign, what else can we do? So many of us attacked together, yet we still couldn't compare to your junior fellow apprentice, Miss. You no longer need us," Chen Lei said bitterly.

Lin Jingying rolled her eyes and said, "Who said I don't need you? Although my junior fellow apprentice is very formidable, he still has his own things to do and won't be following me forever. I also won't be staying in Jinling forever; if you all resign now, I'll have to hire new bodyguards all over again!"

Hearing this, Chen Lei and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
