Chapter 227: Li Chengyuan's Confidant

~7 min read 1,374 words

Lin Wei could not stop laughing, while Lin Jingying said, "It truly is a case of a tiger falling into the flatlands and being bullied by dogs; if I hadn't entered my Weakness Period, I would have slapped him away long ago."

Speaking of this, Lin Wei looked at Lin Feng: "Junior brother, can you help me? As long as I have your assistance, I can immediately overcome my Weakness Period."

"We'll talk about it later," Lin Feng said.

Lin Jingying had no choice but to sigh and continue tasting the pitifully small portion of mushroom soup vermicelli.

By the time the meal ended, the sky had turned completely dark.

Lin Feng and the others were full of food and drink, strolling along the bustling Central Avenue, and not far ahead was the Jingtai Garden Hotel, where Lin Jingying's bodyguards were staying.

Lin Jingying then said, "You all go back to the hotel first, and go to the Central Grand Theater on time tomorrow."

"Yes, Miss."

Chen Lei nodded, then prepared to take the remaining bodyguards back to the hotel.

Yet at this moment, a silver-white Ferrari suddenly slammed over, aiming directly at Lin Jingying!

Chen Lei and the others were all startled, their reactions a beat slow.

Lin Feng, however, was not startled; he immediately lunged over and wrapped his arms around Lin Jingying, shielding her with his own body.

Bang!

A dull sound of impact rang out, and Lin Feng, holding Lin Jingying, flew backward for seven or eight meters.

"Brother!"

Lin Wei's face turned pale with fright, and she let out a scream.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Lin Feng said, landing steadily while holding Lin Jingying.

Lin Wei took a close look and discovered that Lin Feng was completely unscathed, not even a single hair on his head was disheveled, and only then did she finally heave a sigh of relief.

The Ferrari had now come to a stop, and as the car door opened, a figure that made it hard to tell if they were male or female stepped out.

"Are you the new bodyguard hired by Lin Jingying? I used so much force and still didn't hurt you; you really are impressive."

This androgynous person said in a delicate voice, their eyes constantly sizing Lin Feng up.

Lin Feng felt both amused and annoyed.

He had just sworn an oath to Su Mingyue last night, saying that if he lied he would be hit by a car when he went out, and it had come true today.

It seems it is better to make fewer oaths in the future.

"Who is this guy?" Lin Feng asked, releasing Lin Jingying.

Lin Jingying said irritably, "His name is Wang Chen, he is one of Li Chengyuan's three confidants, and he is at the Martial Venerable Mid-Stage!"

"I thought he was something special, turns out he's only at the Martial Venerable Mid-Stage," Lin Feng said.

Wang Chen sneered repeatedly: "You have such a big mouth, but I happen to like your arrogant nature; I love beating arrogant men like you to the ground and watching you beg for mercy."

"You're a pervert!" Lin Wei shouted.

"You dare call me a pervert? Are you discriminating against me? I think you're tired of living!"

Wang Chen was furious and lunged toward Lin Wei.

Lin Feng instantly arrived in front of Lin Wei like a ghost, firmly shielding her.

Wang Chen struck a palm toward Lin Feng's chest, but Lin Feng nonchalantly neutralized his attack and sent him flying backward with a single punch.

"What terrifying strength..."

The expression on Wang Chen's face became unpleasant, and a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.

It was at this moment that a surging wave of True Qi came from the side, whipping up a gale in the surroundings!

Lin Feng turned his head and saw Chen Lei and the others standing in a triangular formation; they were clearly intending to use that Joint Attack Technique to deal with this Wang Chen!

"Miss, please step back; once we are ready, we can..."

Chen Lei shouted, but before he could finish his sentence, Wang Chen had already sneered and lunged in front of them.

"Chen Lei, I know this Gathering Force Technique of yours is very powerful; if you were allowed to finish preparing and unleash it, even experts at the Martial Venerable Peak or even the Martial King Initial Stage would have to avoid its edge, but do you think I would give you the time to prepare?"

It took Chen Lei and the others about a minute and a half to prepare this move, and even at their fastest, it would take over a minute.

Yet now, not even ten seconds had passed; it would be a miracle if they could be ready!

Thus, Wang Chen disrupted their formation in one go, knocking them away one by one, and Chen Lei and the others' Joint Attack Technique was instantly dismantled!

And without this move, none of them were Wang Chen's match!

Chen Lei's face was pale, and the rest of the bodyguards wore expressions of grief and indignation.

Lin Feng said, "What kind of skill is it to bully children? If you have the guts, come at me."

Wang Chen turned to look at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Jingying is someone our boss has taken a fancy to; I must take her away tonight. As for you... no matter how much money Lin Jingying is paying you, our boss can pay you double. What do you think?"

"Sorry, Lin Jingying hasn't paid me a single cent," Lin Feng said.

"She didn't pay you, then why are you protecting her?" Wang Chen asked, frowning.

"I'm just the type of person who likes to meddle in other people's business, is that not allowed?"

As Lin Feng spoke, he walked toward Wang Chen step by step, the True Qi on his body beginning to surge. Wang Chen wanted to say something else, but Lin Feng had already slapped him across the face.

A translucent Great Handprint formed in the air, striking Wang Chen fiercely.

Wang Chen's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly let out a shriek, channeling the True Qi in his body to try and block it, but there was no way he could!

With a thud, Wang Chen flew out more than ten meters like a rag doll, and as soon as he landed, he sprayed blood everywhere!

"You... how can you be so strong... this is unreasonable... you are at least a Martial King realm expert..."

Wang Chen said with difficulty, and before he had even finished speaking, he hurriedly rushed toward the Ferrari.

"Want to run? Do you think you can?"

Lin Feng sneered, preparing to give chase.

Wang Chen, however, turned back and threw a purple sphere, which exploded with a bang as soon as it hit the ground.

Purple smoke suddenly shrouded the surroundings, and the choking odor made Chen Lei and the others feel a stinging pain on their skin.

"Hold your breath, the smoke is poisonous!" Lin Feng warned.

As he spoke, Lin Feng waved his hand to whip up a hurricane, blowing away all the purple smoke that filled the area.

And that silver-white Ferrari had already sped away.

"Damn it, he got away," Lin Jingying said, gritting her teeth.

Lin Feng did not get angry, only saying calmly: "It doesn't matter that he ran; Li Chengyuan will definitely send him to cause us trouble again, and next time I won't give him another chance to escape."

When it came down to it, Lin Feng still could not set his mind at ease regarding Lin Jingying and Lin Wei.

If the two of them were not here, Lin Feng could fight with abandon and without restraint; let alone escaping, Wang Chen wouldn't even have been able to leave behind a whole corpse!

The battle here had already attracted the attention of passersby, and a moment later, several Divine Dragon Guards from the Dragon Soul descended from the sky.

The person leading them was none other than the Dragon Soul Captain Chen Qinghe; as soon as he landed, he demanded: "What happened here... eh, Mr. Lin, why are you here?"
