Chapter 258: Why the Change from Arrogance to Subservience
Lin Feng swept directly over the heads of the three of them, then followed his senses toward the location of Mo Hu.
Han Yu chased after him and said, "How do you know where my junior brother's residence is?"
"The person I am looking for now is Mo Hu; I can sense his position through his blood," Lin Feng explained.
"So that's how it is, but the place you are rushing to now is the residence of my junior brother Sun Shaohu. In that case, the Mo Shu who is impersonating my junior brother must be with Mo Hu right now!" Han Yu said.
Han Yu's judgment was correct.
Inside Sun Shaohu's residence, Mo Shu said urgently, "What are we waiting for? Let's go quickly, Lin Feng is about to catch up!"
"Damn it, Elder Gao still hasn't come out of seclusion, the two of us are no match for him at all!" Mo Hu said through gritted teeth.
Afterward, Mo Hu stood up, preparing to flee from here with Mo Shu first; after all, nothing was more important than saving his own neck.
However, just at this moment, the roof was ripped off by a gust of wind, and Sun Shaohu's residence instantly became open-air!
In the next instant, Lin Feng and Han Yu descended from the sky together, like two meteorites crashing down in front of Mo Shu and Mo Hu!
"Let's see where you can run to!"
Lin Feng let out a loud laugh and reached out to grab Mo Shu.
Mo Shu immediately let out a shrill, strange cry, his hands spraying out streaks of sharp True Qi, like two sharp claws!
But his sharp claws did not cause Lin Feng the slightest bit of harm, and were instead shattered by Lin Feng with a casual strike!
"Give me your life!"
Lin Feng threw a punch, and nine fire dragons immediately swept over, instantly wrapping tightly around Mo Shu.
Meanwhile, Han Yu blocked Mo Hu's path, making it impossible for Mo Hu to escape.
Han Yu was at Martial Venerable Peak, his strength inferior to Mo Hu, who was at Martial King Initial Stage, but Mo Hu was already in an injured state, and not lightly injured at that.
So right now, Mo Hu really could not defeat Han Yu in a short moment!
Boom!
The nine fire dragons exploded all at once, Sun Shaohu's residence was completely reduced to ruins, and Mo Shu was blown into fragments!
"Dead just like that? It seems people from the Hidden Demon Sect aren't all that hard to kill," Lin Feng said coldly.
"Mo Shu!"
Mo Hu let out a cry of grief and indignation, his eyes seemingly burning with raging flames.
Lin Feng, however, said airily, "What are you shouting for? Mo Hu, you don't need to grieve, because I will send you down to reunite with Mo Shu immediately."
Mo Hu let out a howl, forced Han Yu back with a palm strike, and then lunged at Lin Feng like a madman.
It is said that people can exert two hundred percent of their strength in a state of extreme rage, and Mo Hu was exactly like that now.
In his fury, Mo Hu's momentum was astonishing; tyrannical True Qi fluctuations spread continuously from his body, and a storm formed around him.
At this moment, he was simply like a moving eye of a storm!
Then he was knocked to the ground by a punch from Lin Feng and pinned to the ground by Lin Feng to be rubbed into the dirt!
"Aren't you proficient in Earth Escape? Why don't you try using Earth Escape to run away for me to see?" Lin Feng teased.
Mo Hu roared in grief and indignation, but it was merely impotent rage.
"I'm very curious, why is it that you, who are proficient in Earth Escape, have the codename Mo Hu, while that guy I killed was Mo Shu?" Lin Feng asked.
"Why should I tell you!" Mo Hu roared.
"If you answer honestly, I can spare your life," Lin Feng said.
Mo Hu froze for a moment, then knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly.
One could see the look of grief and indignation on Mo Hu's face disappear, replaced by a face full of fawning smiles.
"Mr. Lin, you may not know this, but the codenames are decided by the Sect Master, not chosen by us. We, the Eight Great Protectors, are named after eight of the Twelve Zodiacs; what codename we get depends entirely on the Sect Master's mood," Mo Hu said fawningly.
Lin Feng said disdainfully, "So that's it. Your Sect Master's quirks are truly bizarre."
After a pause, Lin Feng asked again, "But I can't quite understand your attitude right now. Just a moment ago, you were ready to risk your life against me; why are you so servile now?"
Mo Hu said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Lin, I thought just now that there was absolutely no way to live. Since it's death either way, I might as well have been tough."
"But when I heard you say you wouldn't kill me, I didn't dare to be arrogant or presumptuous in front of you anymore. If I can avoid death, of course I don't want to die..."
Hearing Mo Hu's words, Lin Feng laughed out loud.
Han Yu showed a look of contempt, looking at Mo Hu as if he were looking at a pile of trash.
"Mr. Lin, you said you would spare me; you must keep your word," Mo Hu said imploringly.
"I did say I wouldn't kill you, but as a Martial King, your strength is terrifying; I can't leave you as you are!"
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, he threw a punch, landing squarely on Mo Hu's dantian!
The tyrannical Divine Dragon True Qi surged out from Lin Feng's fist, destroying Mo Hu's dantian like a hot knife through butter, and all of Mo Hu's meridians were also destroyed by Lin Feng.
In this way, although Mo Hu did not die, he had been reduced to a cripple. Not to mention exerting his Martial Dao strength, he was not even as good as an ordinary person and could not even take care of his own daily life!
"You... you broke your word!"
Mo Hu roared in grief and indignation, vomiting blood repeatedly.
Lin Feng, however, said indifferently, "How did I break my word? I said I would spare you, and I have indeed spared you now. Didn't I do what I said?"
As Lin Feng spoke, he looked at Han Yu and asked, "Do you think I broke my word?"
"Of course not. Mr. Lin keeps his word; every word is a promise, it is truly admirable!" Han Yu said without hesitation.
Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, while Mo Hu was already lying on the ground wailing, crying like a spoiled brat who was late for school and being punished by the teacher.
"Xiao Qingshan, Zhu Yuanji, Zhao Xingchen, come over here!"
Lin Feng shouted, and the three Heaven Sword Sect Elders all came over together.
"I don't have time right now. You take Mo Hu and hand him over to Lei Dong. If he escapes from your hands, you can bring your heads to see me!" Lin Feng ordered bluntly.
Zhu Yuanji was furious: "We are not your subordinates, why should we listen to you!"
Before Lin Feng could say anything, Xiao Qingshan sighed heavily and advised, "Second Elder, calm down. After this battle, our Heaven Sword Sect is finished. Even if it hasn't collapsed, it is certainly not what it used to be. Mr. Lin letting us escort this Hidden Demon Sect Protector is actually an opportunity for us to perform a meritorious service."
"The Great Elder is right, I feel the same way," said the Third Elder, Zhao Xingchen.
Although the Second Elder, Zhu Yuanji, was still very resentful, he ultimately took a deep breath and forced himself to endure it.
After the three Elders left, Lin Feng looked at Han Yu and said, "What are you still standing there for? Lead the way, take me to your master's place of seclusion. I want to see for myself whether the person in seclusion is truly the Heaven Sword Sect Leader, Xiao Luoyan, or the Hidden Demon Sect Elder, Gao Hanyue!"
