Chapter 274: Loyal and Devoted

~7 min read 1,342 words

Lin Wei subconsciously unleashed her Protective True Qi, but the Protective True Qi simply could not block them.

One could see these four or five Soul-Extinguishing Gu dive straight into the Protective True Qi, as if entering transparent glue; although their speed slowed down a little, they still ultimately made contact with Lin Wei's body!

Consequently, these few Soul-Extinguishing Gu immediately burrowed into Lin Wei's body, and Lin Wei instantly felt a numbness all over, the circulation speed of the True Qi within her body slowing down by quite a bit!

"Xiao Wei!"

Lin Feng let out a violent roar, obliterating all the remaining Soul-Extinguishing Gu completely, and then arrived in front of Lin Wei in a single stride.

"Brother, you... you scared me..." Lin Wei said with some fear.

Lin Feng's appearance at this moment was indeed very terrifying; his eye sockets were blood-red, blue veins bulged on his forehead, and he emitted a heavy murderous aura, the True Qi fluctuations emanating from his body making one's heart tremble with fear.

Facing Lin Feng in this state, Lin Wei felt as if she were facing a primordial ferocious beast!

"Don't move, don't resist," Lin Feng said.

As soon as his voice fell, Lin Feng transferred his own True Qi into Lin Wei's body to conduct a comprehensive examination for her.

Before long, Lin Feng discovered those few Soul-Extinguishing Gu.

But at this moment, Lin Feng was already at his wit's end, because the Soul-Extinguishing Gu had entered Lin Wei's body, and he simply could not kill or remove these few Soul-Extinguishing Gu without harming Lin Wei.

"Haha... although I couldn't finish you off, I still managed to hurt your sister; my goal can be considered achieved."

The blood-covered burly bodyguard said with a laugh, but as soon as his voice fell, he spat out a mouthful of dark red blood.

Lin Feng didn't even glance at that burly bodyguard.

Although he wished he could tear this guy into ten thousand pieces at this moment, keeping Lin Wei's life safe was the most important thing!

"Do not be agitated; agitation cannot solve the problem," the voice of Qijue Xuannv sounded again.

"She is the most important person to me; how could I not be agitated!" Lin Feng roared wildly in his heart.

Qijue Xuannv said: "Rest assured, the number of Soul-Extinguishing Gu that entered her body is not high, totaling only four; she will not be in life-threatening danger in the short term, and there won't even be any very obvious symptoms."

"Moreover, I can help you suppress these few Soul-Extinguishing Gu. As long as you can find Juegu Grass, you will be able to clear all the Soul-Extinguishing Gu from her body without harming your sister."

Lin Feng asked: "Juegu Grass? Does such a Spirit Medicine exist in the world?"

"Naturally, it exists. As the saying goes, one thing subdues another; although things like Gu insects are tricky and hateful, there are also things that restrain them."

"And Juegu Grass is precisely the nemesis of all Gu insects! No matter what kind of Gu insect it is, it will die upon touching Juegu Grass, yet Juegu Grass will not cause the slightest harm to organisms other than Gu insects."

Qijue Xuannv explained with a smile, and only then did Lin Feng finally gradually calm down.

"Help me suppress the Soul-Extinguishing Gu in Xiao Wei's body first," Lin Feng said.

"Alright."

As soon as Qijue Xuannv's voice fell, Lin Feng felt a powerful force surge from the depths of his own body, and thus his right hand instantly lifted uncontrollably and grabbed onto Lin Wei's chest.

Lin Wei's little face turned red instantly; she wanted to ask but felt too embarrassed to do so.

The next moment, a stream of pure power erupted from the palm of Lin Feng's hand and injected into Lin Wei's body, suppressing all the Soul-Extinguishing Gu within her.

Consequently, those few Soul-Extinguishing Gu were as if they had been struck by a freezing spell, becoming rigid within Lin Wei's body and unable to move.

"Within seven days, these few Soul-Extinguishing Gu will not cause any harm to your sister. As long as you find the Juegu Grass within this deadline, you will be able to keep your sister safe and sound," Qijue Xuannv said.

"Many thanks."

Only then did Lin Feng finally heave a sigh of relief, and his right hand also returned to his control.

"Brother, what just happened?" Lin Wei really couldn't hold back and asked.

Lin Feng explained briefly, and only then did Lin Wei realize that she was currently in dire straits; the expression on her face instantly became somewhat fearful.

"Will... will I die?" Lin Wei asked with trepidation.

"You won't die. With me here, how could you possibly die? I will definitely help you find the Juegu Grass and resolve the Soul-Extinguishing Gu in your body," Lin Feng said.

The burly bodyguard coughed and said: "Who exactly are you, to even know about a Spirit Medicine like Juegu Grass."

"If you hadn't spoken, I almost forgot about you."

As Lin Feng spoke, he strode to the front of the burly bodyguard, kicked him to the ground with one foot, and stepped on his head.

"Speak, was it Gao Yun who sent you to assassinate me?" Lin Feng interrogated.

"I have already said, this has nothing to do with my young master; it was I myself who wanted to come and assassinate you!" the burly bodyguard said firmly.

"Do I have a grudge against you?" Lin Feng said angrily.

"We have no grudges, but I just want to kill you; I just don't like the look of you!" the burly bodyguard said in a low, growling tone.

"I won't believe such a lame excuse of yours. Even if you don't admit it, I won't let Gao Yun off!" Lin Feng said coldly.

Lin Feng took out his phone and sent a message; not long after, Liu Qianxue arrived at the scene with Zhou Hao, Yang Xiao, and others.

Upon learning the sequence of events, Liu Qianxue was both shocked and angry, while also feeling somewhat guilty.

After all, this matter started because of her!

"I will send people to arrest Gao Yun right now," Liu Qianxue said.

Lin Feng did not speak, the expression on his face still looking very unpleasant.

This burly bodyguard had taken all the responsibility upon himself; if he refused to admit it, what could be done even if Gao Yun were caught?

There was simply no evidence that could prove Gao Yun had issued the order for the assassination, and Dragon Soul would only be able to release him after interrogation.

"Give it up. I take responsibility for my own actions; it has nothing to do with my young master. Even if you catch him, you will only have to release him obediently in the end," the burly bodyguard said with a laugh.

"You are truly loyal to the Gao Family. I really want to know, what benefits did the Gao Family give you to make you so devoted?" Lin Feng said icily.

"None of your business!"

As soon as the burly bodyguard's voice fell, he suddenly reversed his True Qi to shatter his heart meridian.

This guy was truly too ruthless and too decisive; even Lin Feng hadn't been able to react in time, let alone Liu Qianxue.

"He is already dead," Liu Qianxue said.

Lin Feng stared at the burly bodyguard's face for a good while before finally saying: "Although he was an enemy, I actually quite admire this guy; he died just like that, without the slightest hesitation."

"Leave the corpse for us to handle, Lin Feng," Liu Qianxue said.

"Then I will have to trouble you all," Lin Feng nodded.

Zhou Hao, Yang Xiao, and the others were already disposing of the corpses and collecting relevant evidence.

Liu Qianxue was on the phone with Yang Zhenting, reporting everything that happened here to him in detail and asking for information regarding the Juegu Grass.
